Bullet Heart Novels & Stories

Her mother was placed in another room. When she entered the room, her knees gave way. Her brother lay still on the bed — a bandage wrapped gently around his head, wires and tubes connecting him to machines that beeped quietly beside him. The doctor had said he’d sustained a traumatic brain injury and was in a medically induced coma to help his brain rest. His skin was pale, his breathing soft but steady with the help of an oxygen tube.

His voice was steady and low, flat as an undercurrent beneath ice. My heart lurched in my throat. At my strongest, even with Victor at my side, I had barely managed to hold him off. And now, battered and broken, I was nothing but an ant before him. The instinct to survive drowned everything else. My fists unclenched, and with trembling fingers, I grabbed the hem of his pants. My hoarse voice shook with desperation. "Alright. Take me away now."

She shuddered at the thought and tried to push it from her mind, but deep down, she knew the worst was yet to come. The menacing look on Alexander's face brought fresh memories of their first encounter. Sophia was jolted awake by a loud knocking at the door. It sounded more like a bang than a knock. She quickly got out of bed, wondering who could be knocking so hard. With a racing heart, she jumped out of bed and rushed to the door.

She asked him in a small voice. “Take all the time you need. Just remember that my heart only beats for you.” He kissed her forehead.

when I saw the monitor beeping non stop, the doctor came in with an injection in his hand. " What is that for " I asked him, something wasn't feeling right and I had no idea what it could possibly be. " It's an injection for her heart, it is under strain and we suspect she might experience heart failure " why was it the first time I'm hearing about this. " Why wasn't I informed, if that was the case " I asked him before he could answer the doorbell rang it must be Hillary I had been expecting her.

She turns to me smiling. "Everything is okay Mr Hale. Apart from the bruises on her face, she is fine." I am too shocked to respond. I guess I haven't gotten used to the idea of being a father. Aella is equally quiet, she has refused to look at me since I came in. "Let me show you something." Aella and I look at the monitor of the machine immediately. I am too stunned to speak, too overwhelmed to breathe. I let go of Aella's hands, moving closer to the screen. It is my child's heartbeat, and it is perfect.

She also felt what Lucian felt. Not long after, the doctor along with Horace walked into the room in a hurry. "Doctor! Please. Save my uncle," Lucian said in a panic as he stood up from the bed. "Y-yes, my king," the doctor replied and did as his king said. Lucian and Horace watched the doctor who was examining Luther, injecting medicine into his body with their worried eyes while Selina kept in tears. The doctor then stood up from the bed after he had finished treating Luther and stood facing them. "How is he?" Lucian asked into his eyes. "He's had a heart attack. I've done what I could. We'll have to wait until he wakes up," the doctor replied.

I just mumbled, “Thank you.” “Can I ask how you managed to take out the bullet?” He questions instantly. “Uh…” I paused, not really sure how to explain. “I have a very good eyesight? And maybe luck too.” All of the remaining luck I had that I used to revive the man who tried to kill me. On one hand, Uno doesn't seem like someone who would die easily so maybe that's his own fortune. He probably plays checkers with the grim reaper himself. Seis gave me a polite smile. He's kinder and calmer than the people I've met so far.

He was letting out these thin, pathetic whimpers—the sound of a dying pup. I lunged for the bed, shoving Lily's panic into a corner so I could focus. "Seraphina, he's got an arrhythmia. Blood pressure is spiking, O2 sats are tanking..." "EKG and ultrasound results, now!" "Intracardiac thrombus. It's a clot." I felt my jaw tighten. "Inject heparin. Move!" I went into command mode, steering the team through the chaos. Within minutes, Rolf's vitals started to level out.
