The beginning of everything (1)
Jackie
''miss? miss? are you alright?'' I was startled to wake with a torch being shone into my right iris. I jumped out of my dazed state.
''where am I? what happened?'' the pain in my head was throbbing it felt like somebody was going at my skull with a jack hammer.
''calm down miss, a series of events occurred tonight to which I am going to have to ask you some questions, is that alright?'' the tall, blonde deputy sat down besides me on the hospital bed. When did I get to the hospital?
''ye..yes, where's my mum? why is she not here?'' I stuttered, it was not like my mum to leave me in a hospital, she's the kind of mum to always be here.
''there was an incident tonight, involving your mother and a Darren Clarke. I am sorry to say your mother was killed as a result of Darren Clarkes aggressive and malicious intentions.''
Suddenly a surge of anger overwhelms me, I can feel myself begin to shake and a deep growl escapes my mouth. wait...did I just growl? ''miss I understand this is a shock, however I must ask do you remember anything from tonight?'' I shook my head, the tears are pooling at my eyes, my mother is dead and I cant help but feel like Its my fault. The silent sobs began to erupt from my once plump lips, they're chapped now, must be from all the biting and chomping on them I seem to be doing lately. ''is there anybody we can call? a father figure, auntie or an uncle?'' I shook my head then abruptly remembered ''I have an auntie Jesse, but she lives in Ohio''. He nodded and spoke into his walkie talkie ''we are going to contact her and alert her of the situation, the doctor should be in to see you shortly, sorry for your loss miss'' he swiftly exited the cramped and stuffy room.
I feel as though my lungs are going to collapse, the room is so hot and my head begins to shake, an uncontrollable growl escaped my lungs, I say growl but I'm not an animal, it was more of a grumble.
THE NEXT DAY
The doctor came waltzing into the room, a small smile playing on his lips he checked my heart rate and my fluids. ''how are you feeling today?''. ''I feel like my head is going to split open at any given moment, my lips are split and raw and I cant seem to remember what happened yesterday, but all in all I feel good given the circumstances.
He nodded his head and gave me a look of sympathy'' I understand, the memory loss is only temporary, it will come back in due time. a lot of our patients experience it due to seeing some horrific things, its a way of coping, a form of PTSD if you will'' he collected all his equipment and shuffled to the door before turning one final time '' there's a lady and a gentleman here to see you shall i send them in, you are free to go home when you like '' I nodded and gave a mumble of thanks.
Aunt Luna Jesse
''the boarder patrols need to be doubled, we have had more rogue attacks this past month alone than we have all year. Now on to the discussion of new housi...'' my phone rang ''sorry everyone'' I answered the phone ''hello, this is lu..i mean Jesse speaking.''
''hello miss Jesse, this is the England police department calling, I'm calling with regards to custody of a miss Jackie Leary'' i gasped a little making everyone in the conference hall look towards me giving me curious looks. ''what do you mean custody of my niece she lives with my sister, her mother correct?'' '' we are sorry to inform you miss however, miss Katie Leary was maliciously murdered on Friday, Jackie has no other known relative therefor custody falls to you, if you are unfit to care for Jackie she will fall to the child services until she is 18'' I fell to my knees, my sister, my best friend murdered. The tears in my eyes where threatening to fall, i must not show weakness, not in front of my pack.
''of course i will have her, i love that girl as she was my own child. i will get the first available flight out there, where is she staying?''
''she is at the royal London hospital, trauma unit''
''thankyou'' i hung up the phone and looked towards my mate '' my sister was murdered, we have custody of Jackie, im going to get the first flight out to London if that is alright with you?'' he shivered ''murdered? who would murder such a lovely lady, of course Hun, i will go with you, how is Jackie?'' i shrugged ''they didn't say just that she was in the trauma unit at hospital poor girl'' he nodded.
''Kyle (beta) you will be in charge until our return, i want border patrols doubled, any trouble you contact me first. Jason book us two direct flight to London please'' they nodded and the hall dissembled.
