Silence…
Utter silence was all she heard around her in the thick fig that was clouding her brain. It swirled around her like a thick blanket, a blanket she would love to get rid of but couldn’t for some unknown reason which made her frustration even grow more!
While Snow’s body was hooked up to various machines that beeped and whirred around her while she was still in a coma in the hospital, her mind was somewhere else while fighting for her life and the life of her unborn baby.
She found herself in a dream. She was back at her parents’ house, a place filled with happy memories of a time when her parents were still alive. She wandered through the rooms, feeling a sense of peace and nostalgia wash over her.
And then, she saw her mother. Her mother, who had passed away years ago, stood before her with a look of concern in her eyes. “Snow, my dear,” she said softly. “You must fight. Fight for the man you love, and for your baby. You have so much to live for.”
Snow felt tears welling up in her eyes as she listened to her mother’s words. Deep down she knew she had to fight, for Don and for their unborn child. She couldn’t give up now, not when there was so much at stake but she just did not know how.
The she entered another dream again. In this she was a young woman about to embrace adulthood while being back at her parents house where she grew up. She could feel the sunlight on her skin and the saw her mother smile at her from the kitchen window while she was drawing in the back garden. She smiled warmly back at her. Oh how she missed her parents! Especially her mother with whom she had a very special connection since she was the one that gave her her powers since she was the non-human in their family.
Snow watched as her father walked into the kitchen and kissed her lovingly in her cheek before grabbing a beer from the fridge. She watches on as they made jokes and laughed at each other with affection in their eyes, hoping that one day she herself would find such special love like her parents.
Snow turned around and faced the sun again to warm up, feeling chilly all of a sudden. But then a sudden shift in the atmosphere give her even more cold chills running down her spine so she quickly turned around and watched in shock her father just disappear into thin air…
“Mom!! Wait don’t go!” She yelled while running back towards their house but just as she was about to enter her mom stepped outside and grabbed her by her shoulders with wide eyes.
“Promise me Snow that you will always stay trough to yourself and that you will fight for your love and your family! Promise me Snow, to never ever let the darkness win, ever!!” Her mom whispered in her ear while a tear slipped out of her eye.
“Mom please don’t go, please I am so alone, you can’t do this to me!”
“I’m sorry my beautiful Snow but I have to go after you father! I can’t stay my dear and you have to go back as well! Your man is waiting for you, he needs your help, I’d you stay here he will loose you both, please do as I say and make things right!” Snow’s mother said in a hurried time before her image started to disappear in the upcoming fog as well.
Not knowing what think or do, Snow let’s herself fall down on her knees in the grass and cries her heart out.
Pain, pain that was all she felt. The pain of the loneliness and some other pain she could not quit place but was sure that it came from somewhere else deep inside her, an ache a deep longing for something or someone…
“Fight for your love Snow, for your family! He needs you!!” Her mothers words started to to echo back into her mind…
“M…Micah…!” She mumbled as her eyes grew heavy and she succumbed to a deep slumber.
Meanwhile in the real life…
The doctors had told Don Micah trough a phone call, that the chances of her waking up were slim. But he refused to give up hope. He refused and had gotten very angry as he drove towards his private lawyer office which he had attached to his own home.
Upon entering the street in which his lawyer was living he spotted police cars and some uniform officers talking to some people on the side walk close to his lawyers home.
“What the hell??” He cursed already angry enough, not wanting to deal with the law right now. But as soon as he parked further down the street he saw in his mirror the chief of police coming down the street walking towards his car to his utter annoyance.
The chief knocked on his window and he lowered it a bit.
“Chief, how are you doing?” He greeted a bit cool.
“Not so good and please could you get out of your car Don Micah I need to talk to you!”
“If I must, but you should know I have an urgent meeting with my lawyer so I don’t have all day!” Micah muttered under his breath while getting out.
“Yeah about that….I think you should look for a new lawyer…your was found dead an hour ago!” The chief dropped a bomb on Micah who’s eyes widened in shock.
“Come again?” He asked.
“Your lawyer, is dead, murdered in his own home, now would you be so kind as to tell where you where an hour ago and what your business is with him?”
Micah looked at the chief in disbelieve. Did he just suggested what he though the man was suggesting??! No can’t be!! He thought in silence.
“I don’t like what you are implying chief, not at all and as far ass my dealings with him they are confidential and an hour ago I was still at home with witnesses so if you don’t mind, I need to go to the hospital” he muttered while walking backwards to his car.
“I will let you go for now Micah but I will still need your statement so I will call you later”
Whatever chief now let me pass so I can go see my woman!” after which he opened his car door and got inside before the chief could hold him back.
On the way to the hospital he dialed first doctor Angelo.
“Don Micah, what can I do for you?” Angelo answered Micah’s call swiftly.
“Who is with her doc?!” Micah barked while praying that Snow was still safe.
“Ehm only me and a nurse, why?” Angelo replied curiously.
“Good! Listen to me! Don’t leave her side until I am there, under no circumstances she should be alone and the only ones that are aloud to be with her is you and your staff and me and my men who I will assign, got that?” He barked out.
“Yes, yes I do but what is going on Don?”
“I will tell you when I am there, just do as I say if you want to live!” He yelled and then cut the phone line while gripping the steering wheel harshly as he gritted his teeth in utter frustration and agony.
He would not let anyone harm his Snow and their baby, he did not know the future yet and it made him restless not knowing but that he would keep them from harm that he was sure off!
