The Marvelous Elijah's Return

A couple of blood Seeing Madam Jewel lying unconscious with her wrist cut, blood pooling on the ground beneath her like a small puddle of red paint made Amelia screani again, “Dean! Tommy, get your asses up here now!” The echo of their sister‘s scream made the two frown, Tommy mumbled, “What is she freaking out about?” “Let‘s just get up and see what‘s all the fussing is about,” Dean stated. 

A moment later, when they arrived in Madam Jewel‘s room, at first, Dean scowled at his sister, the way she was sobbing hysterically, and then she pointed her finger at their mother‘s body. 

Then his face went cold, and he shouted, “Tommy, call the ambulance!” 

A while later, the sound of an ambulance siren was echoing in the premises of the Hayes mansion, and the EMTs rushed into the house, returning outside a moment later with Madam Jewel on a stretcher, and Dean helped them lift the stretcher to the ambulance and he looked over to his mother, and then he saw her lashes fluttered before her eyelids tightened. “Mother,” He called out, but Madam Jewel‘s eyes remained closed. 

“Excuse me, sir. We need to close the door and take the patient to the hospital.” An EMT said. 

After frowning slightly at his mother, Dean turned away and

walked over to his siblings. 

“Are we all riding in the same car to the hospital or not?” Amelia asked, wiping her tears on her sleeves. 

“I am not going,” Dean announced, causing Tommy and Amelia to turn toward him. 

“What are you saying?! Our mother is dying, and you choose now to act selfish!” Amelia yelled out angrily. 

Narrowing his eyes at his sister, Dean scoffed, “She’s not dying. She’s faking it. I bet she cut her wrist the second she heard your footsteps coming to your room.” 

Without holding back, Amelia raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face, shouting, “You bastard!”

Dean didn’t react though, and he simply rolled his eyes and scoffed at her as if she were an idiot, mumbling, “You can beat me all you want. But I am done with mother nonsense.” 

As he was about to turn and leave, Tommy asked, “Are you sure she’s faking it?” 

“The walls of this mansion are crumbling. We know it… Control is slipping out of her grip, and she wants it back. You know she will do anything to reclaim it.” Dean replied before walking off. 

Staring at her brother, Amelia frowned and said, “Are you coming with me a not?” 

“No. I have better things to do to save my ass from this mess that our dear old mom has caused once again.” Tommy said, sighing before turning around and heading towards the front door. 

Frustrated, Amelia stared around at the empty yard, and then she walked over to her car, quickly got in, started it, and drove down the driveway, following the ambulance to the hospital. 

A moment later, Amelia entered the emergency entrance hall where a nurse was waiting patiently, her hands clasped together, her lips pursed, and she had a deep frown etched upon her forehead. 

When Amelia approached her, the nurse cleared her throat and said, “Miss, can you fill out these papers and sign them before I allow you to see your mother?” She offered a paper.
