76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfHaoB14AW
My eyes fluttered closed as the darkness engulfed me in a world beyond my understanding and control.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId3LM49rHx
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6tllJobmO
I could feel myself sink deeper into the world that existed on the other side.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaPnTUMj9O
Was this how death felt like?
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvIMF0jqia
Peaceful.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUzL74Lai3
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYqppgsxLF
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60odQSjcUf
But I just couldn't wrap my finger around it.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bqWqtPX0V
What was going on?
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jq80PzeTq
When I tried to walk further I suddenly became stuck. A redline was only a few inches from me.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIlmDY9N3k
I couldn't cross it.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSGD6FXF03
But the strange guy was in the middle. Half of his body outside the redline.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DeLddf0Ka
"His hanging between both worlds of good and evil, his fate is unknown" a voice out of nowhere.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDEtljNho6
When I turned around no one was there.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFClfh70Irk
Was this some kind of sick prank?
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGmgybqM8d
I looked around again more cautiously but I saw no one.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsiglvPTBY
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVWynqW7uI
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquxHjCKl3o
But got out of their cars and rushed towards the bloody scene.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKNalZwibc
People took out their phones quickly. Some called for an ambulance while others reported the accident to the police.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P1LLZLs9y
It wasn't long before I heard sirens coming towards the bloody scene.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDWba5sKBR
I moved out of the way but the ambulance just went through me like I was visible.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8Rs42Nk2t
The cruel realization made me gasp in shock.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iltsEwe1u
If my soul had left my body that meant that I was dead.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f1WOu1q7B
My soul disappeared and went into my injured body.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdlOS6dZ4x
I was aware of the paramedics putting me on a hospital stretcher and carefully placed the both of us into the ambulance.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Pm3SoRiNC
Me and the other guy.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJgQCMRDWL
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rqd4mGQgN
Everything went dark and I zoned out.

Twenty minutes later the ambulance had arrived at the hospital and both Elizabeth and the mysterious were rushed inside by nurses.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbhWF1beWI
Verona rushed inside sobbing painfully and the hospital contacted her. And told her about her daughter's critical condition.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyEk4DctXU
She immediately rushed to the hospital. Both Elizabeth and the other guy were taken to the operation theatre.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGQvjYhTyq
They both lost a lot of blood.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlHgecNYL9
Doctor is my daughter going to be fine?" I sobbed miserably. But the doctor shook his head negatively.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibyl4Drqap
"Madam she's in a bad condition I can't say anything right now."
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CAhQg6274
The nurses wheeled Elizabeth Jones into the operation theatre. I kept pacing around the hospital halls anxiously.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp5VFVGLw0
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbV7uFUGwe
Elizabeth was going to live and see the sunshine feel it's warmth and I couldn't wait to hug her.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZVxlBrDZ3
And tell her how much I loved her.

FLASH BACK
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8cQTA0IJU
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLthndxvLUr
My husband had walked out on me when I was 5 months pregnant . He had left me for another woman.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkA4egEnxN
That night I felt broken and I couldn't bear the pain. I found comfort in alcohol and it became my best companion.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedrlpqBACL
But the drinking also took a negative toll on my pregnancy and my little girls. I was going to have twins.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiPUHGCTJK
A month later I began getting unbearable stomach cramps and I started bleeding.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmTK93VkXX
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0xtHg8eX1
I was about to pass out.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWPddUidB8
I was aware of being put in the back of the ambulance. The pain in my stomach didn't stop either.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl8XO9te59
What had I done?
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzklndwo47y
I was slowly killing my babies with my alcohol addiction. I wasted most of my savings on nothing but liquor.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeToOPcz7oO
I didn't deserve to be a mother.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb8Dp2Nv5I
I kept my eyes open breathing in out harshly. I couldn't close my eyes not now. I had to fight for my babies.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzatzXTjJE
It wasn't before I was rushed to the operation theatre. They had to take out my babies before they died inside my womb.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Nquez25eS
I remember being restless and wandering into the darkness. The darkness that swallowed people like me who put innocent babies in danger.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwwIhDfjuQ
People who were swallowed never came back. They always stayed in the darkness and got tormented by their inner fears.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrOGAhCNoB
I didn't want to face mine.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TlABsPMRm
Four hours later.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpdaTDgkTI
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh1VjZkwdQ
It looked like she had given birth as well.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgKw9HDWAx
I looked at my other side and saw no sign of my babies.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uyNRuDnqT
A shiver went down my spine.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LJySYnlWJ
The words left my lips before I could stop them and tears rolled down my pale cheeks.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHajUDUEwjL
"I killed them..."
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eGgOVJ8d4
The doctor walked in and quietly closed the door behind him.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgJobZBjYh
"My babies are dead right?"
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9iWS3u66I
He gave me a pitiful look and shook his head negatively.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G5E3HJC7E
"Come with me there is something that you should see."
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkMqAjU9OF
I nodded and followed him.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamVHv5XQQf
He led me towards a nursery of premature babies who were in incubators.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yc33ZVOCQ
Each incubator had the parents last name.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQueUx7UTp
He took me towards mine.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b3rumpuYL
My incubators were labelled A and B.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2beDKOLJh
I took slow steps towards the incubators.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKrjS1TV3W
Baby A was instantly asleep. She had a lot of tubes connected to her. The mere sight made my heart shatter.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXOUKsb6t3
Baby B was next; they had placed her incubator at the last row far away from her sister's incubator.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg3oUSO9Gc
I stared at the doctor and he urged me to go.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt5pA5LPs3
Something was wrong.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9UokWQ9r9
"Go ahead."
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MOLClVJT7
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcMeGpcRjm
The little thing in the crib kept wiggling uncontrollably it's face was disfigured.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36xl2ACgnq
It looked like it was made of clay.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh16bUx6jZe
I shook my head in disbelief and hot tears burned my eyes.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoScsdJWPT6
"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."
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ0dj4ojS8
I turned to the doctor and grabbed his hand.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg65NUmLV2
" What about my other baby?"
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0mKu5rg9k
He sighed deeply.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqBSwbAt4J
"Unfortunately baby B has only twenty hours to live she won't make it."
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJD2aaaQeT
A painful sob escaped my lips. My knees gave in and I slumped to the floor sobbing painfully.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oYCnfTx21
I killed my baby and put the other in danger. I didn't deserve to become a mother at all.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagCKGK7Fem
The doctor left all alone as I suffered in my misery I had brought this upon myself.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJrCuhY6iy
Six months later.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsESLykqBqE
I never left the hospital ever since my other baby died. I always devoted my attention to my other daughter.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RQWaGY4f7
I named her Elizabeth.
She was all I had. Over the past few months she had recovered and she weighed like a healthy baby.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfyyqYeFcq
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4vsFXrnQn
Swap babies.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlrWRgkUFn
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYiYR3h13e
Her husband asked me if I could exchange the babies.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtWYlHQKl9
And I agreed if I refused to do what they wanted they would have made me lose my job.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW53TVsA2S
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjLLPBRrue
I was helpless but the guilt inside me was eating me up. I had separated a child from its mother.

ELIZABETH'S POV
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmovNrtmLA2
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWFZ5Ossld
I could sense that someone was hurt and heartbroken.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKNvCTqcIw
"She left me all alone" a voice sobs.
But it wasn't in this room.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJSyHmo82a
I shook my head in disbelief.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXiYKaBsTT
"No. This can't be real, it must be the medicine affecting my thoughts."
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2mDiQqBEF
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RHOz0O5TT
"My dear Elizabeth I thought I had lost you just like your father."
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT7qKqCdLj
I sigh deeply as she releases me.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hjg9yiBXg
" Please mom don't talk about my father" I muttered bitterly and mom quietly nodded.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dkFC4Luvw
She grasped my hand gently.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKSYn1ZinI
" 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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9leG137MwU
Once mom left I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtH0bjLboU
I whispered something incoherently in my unconscious state.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PahxygDkW
It seemed like I shared a special bond with that stranger. We were somehow connected and our thoughts and feelings were linked.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTBk88kkql
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.
