Chapter Text
Chapter One.
"Never did I think I would be here."
The air was alive with activity, buzzing even. In the dense forest opening at the base of the mountains, the black of the night was alive with artificial lights; police choppers, ambulances, mountain rescue. The lights on their modes of transport lit the dead night sky, dancing from blue to red to white.
It had gone from a search and rescue operation, to a search and retrieve in a matter of hours, nothing unusual, except that the whole op had started out as a simple search and rescue, a group of college kids had gone missing in the Alaskan mountains and one had only come back, with the report of finding several bodies, and being chased by a hungry dirty, male with red eyes.
The police hadn't believed him, until he gave the description of the other missing people, a more in depth description that the one the press had released.
The search had begun without without me, I had been assisting an emergency consult when the call came in. Being a doctor and a mountain rescue volunteer occasionally clash with each other.
By the time I had finished and made my way with the paramedics to the base camp, it had changed to search and retrieve as one body had already been found.
A large gazebo with chillers had been set up as a make shift mourge until we could send the bodies to the hospital mortuary for further examination.
Families and friends were gathered with further volunteers.
Gareth Jordan was the name of the kid who had managed to escape "the maniac", had given a location as to where the mass of bodies could be found.
Three hours later, I found myself amongst the bodies, the group had been split up and I found them, the missing college kids.
I had also found the crazy red eyed guy that our lucky escapee had described. I don't know what exactly happened in those fast moments that seemed so slow, and seemed to last for ever, but I do this; ,y body had somehow ended up lying at the foot of a large fir tree, battered and broken and bleeding heavily from wounds I had somehow received.
Then He was holding me in his arms, my blonde God, my Carlisle.
"I'll make it go away Syd, I'll make the pain stop, for ever." His honey covered voice whispered to my bleeding and dying ears.
"Carlisle?" I could barely even whisper my goodbye as I felt my life force slowly but surely leaving my body. "I love you."
"Shhh, it's all going to be ok." He gently kissed my lips, then my neck, and I then felt the worst pain of my life, spreading through my body, sheer and excruciating agony that I can not describe in words.
Then it all went dark.
