Chapter 43: Marble Road Incident (2)

Daniel was the first one to rush to her side trying to hold her up, Samantha's parents and Hannah also started to gather around her.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you in pain somewhere?"

"Your head hurts?"

"Call the doctor."

During this moment, Samantha couldn't hear their voices, she lifted her head up and she can still see her brother's totaled car on the TV screen and a memory flashed before her.

"Watch out! Watch out!!" she heard a screaming girl's voice before a loud crash resounded. The next scene flashed and she saw a little girl's side face in front of her. Blood trickled down the girl's face while her eyes were closed.

"Mia...", Samantha called her friend, her voice very faint, but the little girl didn't respond.

Another memory appeared before her, Samantha was looking at Mia through the glass window in the ICU, her friend was on the bed with a lot of tubes connecting her body to machines.

Samantha felt another pain before she noticed a hand tapping her face gently. There were tears on her face, she was crying like she was in a lot of pain. Then she turned her head to the side and saw Daniel.

"Samantha, are you okay? You're scaring us. Look at me..."

Samantha's chest heaved up and down while her body was shaking, her lips trembled when she tried to speak, "Mia... Mia...", she uttered as her tears continued to flow.

As soon as Hannah, Mr. and Mrs. Kim heard her say the name, the three of them froze and their eyes widened. Only Daniel who didn't know about Mia wasn't aware of how serious the situation was in front of him.

"Oh no.. no no no... Sam, sweetheart you're okay... we're here..." Mrs. Kim rushed to hold Samantha but before she could even get close, Samantha was already on her feet.

Mr. Kim tried to block Samantha's path, "Princess, Daddy's here. Look at me, no one's going to hurt you."

Samantha's mind is currently not stable, she couldn't understand what was happening around her. It was like she knows the people around her but she was afraid of everyone. She doesn't want them to get near her.

The doctor and nurses arrived and started to walk towards Samantha but Hannah suddenly yelled at them, "No wait, stay back!! Don't touch her! Just wait.".

Daniel saw the situation before him and he was very confused. Why are Mr. and Mrs. Kim suddenly acting strange? Even Hannah stopped the doctors and nurses.

Samantha looked at everyone and she saw faces of scary people looking at her, she trembled and she wanted to escape. The fear that she was very familiar with crept on her preventing her to snap out of the darkness. She caught a glimpse of her brother inside the ICU and she became even more scared.

Daniel raised his hand to touch her very carefully, "Samantha?"

Just when Samantha noticed a hand reaching out to her, her eyes widened and she brushed Daniel's hand away, "Stay away from me! Don't touch me!"

Before anyone could react, Samantha dashed outside of the room while she pushed everyone in her way. Hannah was about to go after her but Daniel held her back, "I'll go.", he said before he ran after her.

Mrs. Kim's knees weakened, Chairman Kim had to hold her up and led her to the sofa to rest. Hannah panicked. She wanted to do something for her best friend but she was helpless at the moment.

"She remembered, Samantha remembered what happened.", Hannah declared and Samantha's parents looked at her.

Mrs. Kim started to sob, "What are we gonna do, dear? My poor baby. Oh, My poor baby.", she kept mumbling.

"Call Daniel, tell him to make sure he gets to Samantha. And to keep us updated.", Chairman Kim ordered Hannah, in which she nodded.

At the Hospital's entrance, Daniel turned his head from left to right trying to find Samantha but he couldn't see her. His phone rang and he answered Hannah's call. "Hannah."

"Daniel, is Samantha with you now?"

"No, she ran so fast. I'm currently at the entrance, I lost her."

Daniel heard Hannah's sigh from the other line and noticed her worried voice.

"What happened back there? Who's Mia?"

"Now is not the time for that, you need to find her immediately. Or she could be in danger."

"What?! Han, you need to help me here. Where do I find her?", Daniel sensing the urgency is also feeling frantic at the moment. He doesn't know what's going on but he needs to get to Samantha as soon as possible.

"I think I know where you can find her. I'll text you.", Hannah hung up the call and a few seconds later Daniel received a message.

Hannah : [ From here, go to Serenity Avenue. head north and on the 3rd intersection take right on Wharf Street, house - red gate. If you don't see her there, turn left on Marble Road then go straight 2km. ]

Daniel didn't waste time and drove towards the address that Hannah sent him. While driving, Daniel tried to call Samantha but her phone is out of reach.

Samantha was currently sitting at the taxi, they were heading towards a residential area and when they arrived, Samantha just grabbed some bills and quickly paid the driver.

She was standing in front of an old house but it didn't look like there was anyone living in it as vines crawled on the gates and walls of the house. The front lawn had very tall grass and dried leaves were everywhere.

Samantha turned around and started to walk down the street as if she was very familiar with the place. Her mind was currently searching for memories of Mia but she could only see a girl smiling at her. Mia was very pretty, her jet black hair was just below her shoulders; she had fair skin and round eyes.

The path she took was quite unusual, it was like she was heading towards a certain place but she doesn't know where this path is taking her.

She walked and walked some more until she remembered about being inside a car, she was in the back seat of it and she was looking outside the window. The road that she's walking right now was exactly how she saw in her memory. It's just that in her memory, it looked cleaner and the trees were smaller and there were less big buildings.

She continued to walk and then a few moments later, she heard the sound of a car from behind her speeding very fast. Her memory juggled and she was suddenly in the car again. The car behind them was moving towards them at a very fast speed and their car started to go faster. Samantha was now feeling very nervous, she started to run.

She ran as if someone was chasing after her. She ran like she had to escape from something but while she was running, she stepped on an uneven path and she twisted her ankle. Samantha fell on the road but she quickly got back up and started to run again. She was already panting but she didn't want to stop until she reached almost the end of Marble Road.

That's when Samantha recognized the very familiar location, she stared at the middle of the empty road and felt her knees suddenly weaken. This road was very quiet, not a lot of people use this road anymore especially at night but right now, Samantha was there all alone.

She staggered towards the curb and sat. Her shoulders started to shake and she cried uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, Daniel was still driving. He recalled how Samantha looked earlier, it was a different kind of expression and it was the first time that Daniel saw her like that. She seemed to have lost the light in her eyes that he loves to see. She didn't even recognized him and told him to stay away. The look in her eyes when she looked at him was as if he was going to hurt her; she looked really scared. What happened to her? His heart was beating like it was about to jump out of his chest as he tried to look outside his car hoping to find Samantha.

Daniel almost turned his car around to check one more time but then he saw a woman who was sitting on the curb a few meters away. "Samantha.".

Very quickly, Daniel got out of his car and rushed to her side. Samantha was breathing heavily, her body shaking while her hand clutched her chest. A large volume of tears was flowing steadily down her face. When Daniel saw Samantha, his heart broke. What could possibly hurt her so much? He reached out his hand to stroke her head and Samantha looked up to him still crying non-stop.

Daniel bent down in front of her and very gently he held her close to him, "Baby, what's wrong? Are you hurt? Tell me..."

Samantha looked into his eyes, "Daniel... I...", she muttered.. "I killed someone."
