Chapter 6

Author: Goldie Lane
The ambulance finally arrived to find chaos waiting for them.

For a moment, even the paramedics seemed stunned by the number of injured people.

Yuri grabbed one of them by the arm with a blood-slick hand. "My wife first. And her mother. Take care of them first!"

The paramedic glanced down and realized Yuri still had a stab wound in his abdomen, his shirt completely soaked with blood.

"We need another ambulance," he immediately called over the radio. "Multiple patients at the scene."

    Xander tore his hand from Ethan the moment he saw Yuri and ran to him, sobbing so hard he could barely get the words out."Daddy, they put Mommy in that little bottle. They said she's never coming back. Is that true?"He clung to Yuri, struggling for breath between sobs."I miss Mommy. I won't lie to scare her ever again. I'll be good from now on, I promise. Can you make her come back?"Yuri didn't answer.His eyes were fixed on the urn in Ethan's arms, so bloodshot they looked almost raw."You cremated her?"His voice rose sharply. "I didn't even get to see her one last time. How could you cremate her before I saw her?"He lunged for the urn, but Ethan turned away to protect it and punched him across the face."You think you have the right? You and Quinn have nothing to do with each other anymore!"Yuri made no attempt to dodge. The blow split his lip, sending blood down his chin, but he kept coming, reaching desperately for the urn."Give her back to me. Please... give her back."His

    Diane suddenly scrambled to her feet and bolted down the hall.Ethan stayed behind because my body was still in the trauma room. He called after her, but he didn't follow.Diane stumbled all the way to Jasmine's room. Jasmine was propped up against the pillows, and the moment she saw her, tears spilled down her face. She reached out pitifully."Diane, it hurts so much. I lost the baby..."Diane slapped her across the face with all her strength.Before Jasmine could even process what had happened, Diane lunged at her and wrapped both hands around her throat."Give me back my daughter!" Her scream was raw with grief and rage. "Give me my daughter back!"Jasmine couldn't breathe. Her face darkened as she struggled in Diane's grip, and by the time the nurses rushed in, it took several of them to pull the two women apart.Even after they dragged her away, Diane sat on the floor pointing at Jasmine."You slept with a married man! You destroyed my daughter's marriage and drove her to her deat

    Watching them, I felt nothing but bitter contempt.When I was alive, none of them could spare me a second glance. Now that I was dead, they were falling apart one after another.After coughing up blood, Yuri seemed to lose whatever had been holding him upright. He collapsed to his knees, and the doctor immediately called for help.Yuri ignored him. Wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, he grabbed the doctor's coat and begged from the floor."Please try again. Just one more time. She's strong. She can make it!"The doctor couldn't get him to stand."Mr. Stone, there's nothing more we can do. Your wife was already in extremely poor condition. She'd just undergone a D&C, and with only one kidney, her body couldn't withstand this kind of trauma. The fact that she survived long enough to reach the hospital was remarkable."Yuri's head snapped up."What did you say? A D&C?""You didn't know?" The doctor looked taken aback. "The procedure was clearly very recent. Combined with the fact

"Multiple patients at the scene."Diane and I were loaded into the first ambulance. Just before the doors closed, Yuri shouted after the paramedics, "I'll take the next one. Just save her!"Red and blue lights flashed through the darkness as we raced to the hospital.I was taken straight into the trauma room.Diane regained consciousness soon afterward, and the first words out of her mouth were, "Where's Quinn? Where's my daughter?"The nurses tried to keep her in bed, but she tore the IV from her hand and stumbled into the hall. By the tim

    The wind roared in my ears.I hit the ground below, the back of my head catching the edge of a flower bed. Pain swallowed me whole. Blood spread beneath my body as I drifted in and out, darkness closing over me only to recede again.Screams erupted from upstairs."Quinn!"They came running down moments later, Yuri reaching me first.The knife was still buried in his stomach, and his shirt was soaked through with blood, but he seemed oblivious to his own injury. He dropped to his knees beside me, eyes bloodshot, tears falling hot against my face."Quinn. Quinn!"His hands hovered helplessly over me. He wanted to pick me up, but he was terrified of hurting me more, and his entire body shook with the effort of holding himself together.I tried to smile.Something wet and thick caught in my throat. A coughing fit seized me, and blood sprayed across Yuri's face.He flinched as if I'd struck him.My blood clung to his lashes as he leaned closer, his voice so hoarse I could barely hear him."

    I could hear laughter from inside the house before I even reached the door. The moment I walked in, though, the conversation died.Jasmine sat in the middle of the couch with everyone gathered around her, the center of attention in my own home. She looked up and gave me a sweet, welcoming smile."Quinn, you're back."For one disorienting second, I felt like the guest.Then something at her throat caught the light.I stopped cold.Grandma's pendant.On the day she died, she'd placed it around my neck with shaking hands and told me it was all she had to leave me."I don't have money or property to give you, sweetheart. But I've worn this my whole life. You keep it now. When I'm gone, let it watch over you for me."I crossed the room before anyone could stop me and ripped it from Jasmine's neck."This belongs to me. Who gave you the right to wear it?"Her startled cry had barely left her mouth when Yuri dragged me back, and tears immediately welled in her eyes."For God's sake, Quinn, eno
