Koda has a fever of 108 and It's been rising with every hour. She's been sick for a whole week and we've visited the hospital three times already. All they can do is give her something for the pain... Apparently, Koda was born with a low immune system so even the common cold can become lethal. Her mother was born with It too... She keeps breathing hard and blacking out multiple times, I did all I can to help her. Her fever is getting worse, I swore under my breath and began to consider taking her to the hospital again. Just as I began to consider the idea, a snowy storm slowly set in. If we didn't start going soon Koda won't be able to get the help that she needs and then she'll... I immediately began to suit up, putting the worried feeling in the back of my mind. I walked to the hall closet and opened it up, sticking my hand inside. Fishing around for a minute I finally pulled out what I was looking for, a black furry coat in my left hand and a much smaller pink plush coat in my right. I quickly walked into Koda's room and sat next to her in her bed. This is the worst that she's looked yet. She burried underneat all the blankets I could find in the house and she still said she felt cold. It didn't help that she was also sweating heavily but I wanted to keep her warm rather then cold.
"Daddy..." I held my breath as I saw Koda eye's water and I could see the fear in her eyes.
"Am I going to die?" She said with a quiet voice. Her words were as if a lighting bolt struck my heart and feelings of sorrow began to well up in my chest.
"What? Sweetie, you're not going to die." I lied, I have no idea what was going to happen, I was so confused...
"You're going to be okay, you're just having a bad day... It happens to all of us." I replied with a straight face, hiding the fact that I was on the verge of tears.
Koda nodded her head weakly. I lifted her up slowly, not wanting to cause her anymore discomfort. I put the fluffy pink coat on her, her scarf was dirty so I snugly wrapped mine around her instead. She was covered from head to foot expect for her sickly face. I carried her to our doorstep and opened the door only for the chilly winds of frost to hit our faces. I step outside to the balcony of the complex and began walking down the hall, we turn the corner to meet some stairs. Walking down was an excruciating event as I went very slowly so that I didn't slip and possibly hurt Koda. I needed to go slow, the precious that passed during that time was taunting. I finally landed my foot on the ground level and I made my way to my car. The winds were getting faster and beginning to pick up, a sign that an even bigger storm is on it's way. I set Koda down and she stood there awkwardly, seemingly ready to pass out at any given moment.
"Just hang in there Koda."
I took out my keys and insert them inside the door and turned. It unlocked and I turned on the engine and pressed the button for all of the car doors to unlock. I quickly came out and picked up Koda, carrying her to the passenger seat and buckling her in. I shut the door and walked to the other side of the car and entered the driver seat. Stepping on the pedal the car took off. I was now on my way to the hospital. The storm began to get worse, as if it was deliberately trying to prevent me from getting to the hospital. The car windows became foggy and the inside of the car started to become chilling. I go to turn on the heater the button broke off when I try to turn it. I look at it in anger.
"GODDAMN IT!" I tossed the piece of plastic to the floor and continue driving. No one was on the road, just us and the deadly barrier of the so called storm that threatened to block my path.
I was half way to the hospital when I heard the engine of my car cough. The tires screech and moved uncontrollably, I try to turn the wheel as best as I can and if I hadn't put enough effort into it we would have crashed into a tree. With a loud thump the car suddenly stops. We're now stuck in the snow and if I don't do anything soon we're going to be stuck here for a while. I turn my head to Koda to see her slowly breathing becoming ragged and faster. I reached into my pocket and and frantically dug around until I felt my cellphone. Grabbing it I take out and raised it's cover. I speed dial my father and place the phone to my ear to hear the phone ring.
"Hello?"
"Dad! I need you to drive us to the hospital immediately! I'm on street 3434 east Burdon, Koda is sick and the car broke down. I'll be running down the road, honk at us when you see us!"
"Son stay in the car, well pick you up! We're going to be in the red jeep. We'll be there as fast as we can!" I slapped the phone down and put it in my pocket.
Ignoring my father's warning I get out of the car and walk to the other side of my SUV. I opened the door to Koda, unstrapping her, and I take off my coat and covered her even more. I then take out my pocket knife and cut some of the cloth from my undershirt and cover Koda's face with it in a way to keep the wind off of her face some. Her teeth were violently chattering. I picked her up and began moving to the hospital, I didn't care what happens to the car, it's stuck under a foot of snow and it's freezing out here. I began running, the winds beating me across the face. The chilling winds began to freeze up my body, my ear's went numb and I began to loose the feeling in my fingers. Adrenaline starts kicking in and I run harder, adn faster. I run and run and run, not caring for my own sake, only for my daughter's. I don't care If I die but Koda needs to live on, she has so much to live for! She always loved being around my parents, mom and dad always wanted another child but couldn't because times were tough while growing up.
*HONK* *HONK*
The sound of a car horn grabs my attention and I turn around to see a red jeep with my parents inside. A middle age man who just starting to grow gray hairs and a beautiful women who loves to cook. I smiled despite the ice I began to feel forming on my body. I wave and Koda slowly opens her eyes and smiles. I began to walk slowly in the direction of the jeep when I suddenly see it get rammed by a grey van, the van bends in a awkwardly position and the jeep is crushed. The crash went very slowly, everything went very slowly. I gasp in shock and let out a silent scream as Koda stared wide eyed at it all, tears beginning to form on her face again.
"NOOOOOO!" I began running to the crash.
"NO! FUCKING NO!" Tears began to fall down my checks and I stumble, trying to regain my balance.
The grey van catches on fire and I set Koda down and run to my parent's jeep. The car was upside down. I run to the door and pulled on the handle but it wouldn't budge. I lash out at it in rage though I soon come to my senses and start to pull with all my strength, my anger fueling me. It eventually budged but I was short on time, the van looked like it was ready to exploded. I grab my unconscious parents by the collar of there jackets and I began to pull them out but there was a resistance. They wouldn't move because they still had there seat belts on. I soon began to feel panic setting in and I grab my pocket knife I had, slicing the belt straps. I frantically move to get them out, feeling the temperature beginning to rise from the engine of the grey van. I chance a glance to see who's inside only to see a man with bottles of beer scattered everywhere around the roof, his car was upside down as well. Go figure, a fucking drunk driver, this entire moment was his fault. I pull my parents out of the car and began to drag them out where Koda was lying and I hear a high pitch noise from behind me as the car blows up sending shrapnel flying everywhere, tossing me a good several feet away because of the explosion. My head was ringing and for a while I thought I was deaf. I quickly remember though about mom and dad and go to check them. They laid there motionless, bleeding from their heads. I place my head on mom's chest to not hear a heart beat. I move my hands around my father and mother to see the shrapnel had hit them, I saw a hole at my father chest, It entered his heart and out. I feel a stab at my heart and I quickly move my head to my mom who's result was the similar...
"D-Dad... M-Mom... Pl-please be okay..." I whisper in a pleading voice, hoping that they would miraculously be okay. I suddenly turn my head to Koda who was laying in the snow and I rush to her and cradle her in my arms. Her eyes were closed and breathing was getting weaker.
"Ko-koda?" I sniffed, tears dropping onto her face. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at me directly though her eyes seemed unfocused. I began to hear the sounds of sirens in the distance but I ignored them.
"Da-dad?" she said weakly
"Yes?" I said, my voice cracked. I choked up a little, unable to clear my throat and the tears in my eyes.
"Are we in the hospital?"
"Ye-yeah, we made it to the hospital"
"It's getting da-dark, Is it night?"
"Y-yeah, It sure is. it's getting late"
"Oh... Daddy" I hold my breath, holding Koda with one arm while I caressed my mothers hair.
"I-..... I love you Daddy..."
"Ye-yeah... Daddy loves you too very much"
"I love you daddy..." This time her voice cracked.
The realization made my eyes go wide as her head dropped and her arms went limp. Feeling that she wasn't warm anymore but was instead as cold as the storm that surrounded us.
"No... Anything but this! Genna! Please save Koda... GENNA!? So-someone! Someone help her!" I started to sob uncontrollably, as I look around hoping for someone magically to help her out. It was like god was playing some cruel joke on me. First he takes my wife, then he takes my parents and just as soon after my daughter.
Now I'm alone...
So alone...
