Black Flagged – Emma

“Where’s Sway?” Mom asked looking toward the television in the corner of the suite that showed nothing but rain showers and impending thunderstorms.

When Sway hadn’t returned after twenty minutes my gut instinct told me that something was wrong.

And when I opened the door and saw her lying in puddle of blood, her clothes ripped from her body, I knew it was wrong.

I heard heavy footsteps racing down the stairs but my only concern was Sway at that point.

Everything seemed to move in slow motion once I saw Sway. Just like in the movies, I was caught in a real life nightmare when I approached her. My hands scrambled toward her in utter horror. Sway was clutching at her midsection, bent over at the waist on the concrete stairwell.

“Sway!” It came out as a choked sob as I fell to my knees and grabbed her shoulder.

I tried to roll her onto her back, but could only force her still body onto her side as she seemed to tense at my touch.

This wasn’t good.

There was blood, a lot of blood, coming from the back of her head, matting her mahogany hair and beginning to pool underneath her cheek. I inhaled sharply, my breath shuddering in uneven, harsh gasps.

I pressed the back of my hand to my mouth. The smell of blood was strong, her eyes were closed and her head lolled to the side as she toppled onto her back. I saw a large gash along the back of her head.

“Sway!” My voice was now a thin wheeze as I took in her pale, still face. I stupidly shook her shoulder with one hand, wiping ineffectually at the blood on her cheek with the other.

I called my dad and he said he’d take care of everything, to just stay where we were and don’t let Jameson find out, no one was tell Jameson anything at that point.

There was still over a hundred laps left in the race and I knew damn well he’d stop the car if he knew something had happened.

“Sway, baby...please be okay,” I was weeping.

I almost dropped her head when she let out a low moan. I couldn’t catch my breath, the relief was so great. “I know, sweetie, I know. Help me out here, please. Stay awake, you can do it, help me.”

“Jameson...?” she groaned. I cradled her head on my lap as I wept and gasped. “Emma...where’s Jameson?” she tried to sit up, propping herself on her elbows, but cried out and fell to her side, vomiting.

She let out a tortured moan and I started sobbing again, clutching at her back.

“Darrin...where did he go?” she managed to say in a weak voice. “He said he’d kill me.”

“Shh, shh,” I crooned, the tears falling off my face and onto her ear and neck, mingling with the blood. “Help is on the way sweetie.”

“Where’s...Jameson?” she managed, struggling to rise. She made it up on her arm before she collapsed again.

“He’s racing.” I wailed, gripping her arm as she lay panting on her side.
