ELIZABETH'S POV

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIDBKGHotS
My eyes fluttered closed as the darkness engulfed me in a world beyond my understanding and control.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREGrHBr9vY
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyg6eWJsF6
I could feel myself sink deeper into the world that existed on the other side.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPShwI8hieg
Was this how death felt like?
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAuj6YUxby
Peaceful.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAHYi4oYZO
If dying was like this I didn't want to leave this place at all. My thoughts wandered to the guy who was next to me.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXY6I3khQf
He called me Azalea.
I've never heard of that name before but yet I felt a deeper connection to him.
It felt like I had known him for years.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6800JL3Yb
But I just couldn't wrap my finger around it.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkd16NLE7c
What was going on?
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd1jswK2Rm
When I tried to walk further I suddenly became stuck. A redline was only a few inches from me.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaf24G3taO
I couldn't cross it.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviA3GMxfJR
But the strange guy was in the middle. Half of his body outside the redline.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlApjFFkAfj
"His hanging between both worlds of good and evil, his fate is unknown" a voice out of nowhere.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzQSAXluLg
When I turned around no one was there.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HjGU210aQ
Was this some kind of sick prank?
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOnjid4WKS
I looked around again more cautiously but I saw no one.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiyP9DS1WR
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFOuyDv1Nv
The guy was bleeding to death so was my own body but I was helpless.
Our collided damaged vehicles had caused a lot of traffic jams.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRnY6FrxeK
But got out of their cars and rushed towards the bloody scene.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzlQytT8oa
People took out their phones quickly. Some called for an ambulance while others reported the accident to the police.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pyLGSJMM6
It wasn't long before I heard sirens coming towards the bloody scene.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dgHNrxaEZ
I moved out of the way but the ambulance just went through me like I was visible.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RQ4zbpffF
The cruel realization made me gasp in shock.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EHeaRusGK
If my soul had left my body that meant that I was dead.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4M4uipvkn
My soul disappeared and went into my injured body.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX48bUnKzLO
I was aware of the paramedics putting me on a hospital stretcher and carefully placed the both of us into the ambulance.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmqkRasZd0
Me and the other guy.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhIyL72nL8
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAnZ1IBcKa
Everything went dark and I zoned out.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8xk88AaM5
Twenty minutes later the ambulance had arrived at the hospital and both Elizabeth and the mysterious were rushed inside by nurses.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6ee7YLnJZ
Verona rushed inside sobbing painfully and the hospital contacted her. And told her about her daughter's critical condition.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOZi3ll47F
She immediately rushed to the hospital. Both Elizabeth and the other guy were taken to the operation theatre.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO6ZRIA7fv
They both lost a lot of blood.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KQgbBbfAk
Doctor is my daughter going to be fine?" I sobbed miserably. But the doctor shook his head negatively.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC4O32i0t8
"Madam she's in a bad condition I can't say anything right now."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuqjuz07FQ
The nurses wheeled Elizabeth Jones into the operation theatre. I kept pacing around the hospital halls anxiously.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1qjUWuvlI
The doctor's statement instantly shattered the little hope I was holding onto. A part of me kept saying that Elizabeth was going to survive. I wasn't going to make the same mistake twice.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRKdM82ebq
Elizabeth was going to live and see the sunshine feel it's warmth and I couldn't wait to hug her.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD7Pnlvmbj
And tell her how much I loved her.

FLASH BACK
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlXf0oyjqq
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkqMLT7yEn
My husband had walked out on me when I was 5 months pregnant . He had left me for another woman.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZZTongwYj
That night I felt broken and I couldn't bear the pain. I found comfort in alcohol and it became my best companion.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADsr0MTK5G
But the drinking also took a negative toll on my pregnancy and my little girls. I was going to have twins.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPZ92HbiCz
A month later I began getting unbearable stomach cramps and I started bleeding.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XRaiyCCyE
I thought that I was going to lose my girls. Despite the pain I managed to call the ambulance by the time it was arriving my vision was blurry.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFdBfoYB7y
I was about to pass out.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWwofQVrmM
I was aware of being put in the back of the ambulance. The pain in my stomach didn't stop either.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnpOVkI2ne
What had I done?
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa6O86ahA9
I was slowly killing my babies with my alcohol addiction. I wasted most of my savings on nothing but liquor.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCiKrRiFNA
I didn't deserve to be a mother.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ndhXPnmdJ
I kept my eyes open breathing in out harshly. I couldn't close my eyes not now. I had to fight for my babies.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYUSNd9Bsk
It wasn't before I was rushed to the operation theatre. They had to take out my babies before they died inside my womb.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMBhkkj0bx
I remember being restless and wandering into the darkness. The darkness that swallowed people like me who put innocent babies in danger.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1nf3NySdd
People who were swallowed never came back. They always stayed in the darkness and got tormented by their inner fears.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMxs0sJk3X
I didn't want to face mine.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G2rTP3msl
Four hours later.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3raglhnusD
My eyes slowly opened when I tried to sit up right and I winced in pain. The crib beside my bed was empty. Another woman with dirty blonde hair was sleeping a few metres away.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTTKvrFgSk
It looked like she had given birth as well.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0PRNNlIMP
I looked at my other side and saw no sign of my babies.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxZb6Oo7Lh
A shiver went down my spine.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMPf1nfq69
The words left my lips before I could stop them and tears rolled down my pale cheeks.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzkYOAnZ7w
"I killed them..."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajK8eMF3H6
The doctor walked in and quietly closed the door behind him.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgOpRt7D1U
"My babies are dead right?"
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0gI1v9QZa
He gave me a pitiful look and shook his head negatively.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLl0RzbANw
"Come with me there is something that you should see."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyXW58crbM
I nodded and followed him.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb0LvaedzX
He led me towards a nursery of premature babies who were in incubators.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrie6iKnmdy
Each incubator had the parents last name.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs5qIA5acD
He took me towards mine.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTZz2p1Kdl
My incubators were labelled A and B.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bPXhwzX2l
I took slow steps towards the incubators.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLWnSGo5N3
Baby A was instantly asleep. She had a lot of tubes connected to her. The mere sight made my heart shatter.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrzBkn4wGH
Baby B was next; they had placed her incubator at the last row far away from her sister's incubator.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UwALGyOKE
I stared at the doctor and he urged me to go.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjEOmX5m2q
Something was wrong.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHrF7Kk6YQ
"Go ahead."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFzs8ZN34k
I walked towards the last row when I saw my baby a shocked gasp escaped my lips and I clamped my hand over my mouth.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P6npKaH2I
The little thing in the crib kept wiggling uncontrollably it's face was disfigured.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8G2G1EKgA
It looked like it was made of clay.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBJxcfA9pz
I shook my head in disbelief and hot tears burned my eyes.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SRk4xeqgG
"Mrs. Jones due to the excessive drinking one of the twins was affected. The other is in a critical condition,but we'll still have to keep baby A for a few months in the hospital."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd6dpvPGMP
I turned to the doctor and grabbed his hand.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwdpqHcxbU
" What about my other baby?"
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZj42e66O9
He sighed deeply.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5GJ5eBmhE
"Unfortunately baby B has only twenty hours to live she won't make it."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVx2ftatko
A painful sob escaped my lips. My knees gave in and I slumped to the floor sobbing painfully.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTcJysT0Qs
I killed my baby and put the other in danger. I didn't deserve to become a mother at all.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ287ITqKvJm
The doctor left all alone as I suffered in my misery I had brought this upon myself.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt94q0DPwBr
Six months later.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdSfIgafpz
I never left the hospital ever since my other baby died. I always devoted my attention to my other daughter.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSrHrGfFR3
I named her Elizabeth.
She was all I had. Over the past few months she had recovered and she weighed like a healthy baby.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MESAeXaUi
The doctor had prepared the discharge papers when he gave her the final check up to make that everything was good.

I stared at the large amount of money in my hands. This was against the law but when that couple offered me millions if I could only do one favor for them.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWw3hSLGLo
Swap babies.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2epNTqj5h2
Mrs. Jonas had given to two premature babies they were perfectly fine but the couple that paid me had a disfigured baby due to her drug and alcohol addiction.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9uapTYuIK
Her husband asked me if I could exchange the babies.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHkbhihODH
And I agreed if I refused to do what they wanted they would have made me lose my job.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwhOpgJJWR
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8ReZ20fxK
I was helpless but the guilt inside me was eating me up. I had separated a child from its mother.

ELIZABETH'S POV
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlq85U47Mb
I woke up with a big headache. My head was pounding. I rubbed my temples gently to try and ease the pain.
I sat upright leaning against the headboard. I could feel my heart thumping loudly in my chest but it wasn't mine.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPNVVrfJGo
I could sense that someone was hurt and heartbroken.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpWKlayyje
"She left me all alone" a voice sobs.
But it wasn't in this room.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbQ96eobiC
I shook my head in disbelief.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrKzB72X8U
"No. This can't be real, it must be the medicine affecting my thoughts."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHqhZlpQDO
Just then mom walked in before I could comprehend what was happening she engulfed me in a big tight hug causing me to wince in pain.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilgybAF9u6
"My dear Elizabeth I thought I had lost you just like your father."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8eO3urbg2
I sigh deeply as she releases me.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x2w78bZpw
" Please mom don't talk about my father" I muttered bitterly and mom quietly nodded.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cyTmqtbWW
She grasped my hand gently.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvs1vJQfI1
" I'm sorry honey I didn't mean to make you upset get some rest while I go talk to the doctor" she said softly and I nodded.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouujQt2Sa3
Once mom left I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn3OqZMNHp
I whispered something incoherently in my unconscious state.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKlqsaNEIa
It seemed like I shared a special bond with that stranger. We were somehow connected and our thoughts and feelings were linked.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9hgaqrxPg
I dreamed of a guy with a deep shade of blue gorgeous eyes. They held many emotions and dark secrets that I wanted to find out.
