Rebirth Part One- The Crash
Simon and Gabrielle survived the horrific car accident, but they were left as outcasts for the rest of their lives. Here is their story...
It all started on a rainy stormy night. Simon started the car as he took the wheel, while Gabrielle sat next to him holding a bag of her favorite chocolate candies.
“It's really pouring out here.” Simon said flipping on the windshield wipers to get a better view of the road.
“I know, you think we'll make it to the party in time?” Gabrielle asked.
They both were in a hurry to get to the Valentine’s Day dance that their college was hosting but in this storm. The chances of getting there on time were very low. The rain waltzed along the car hood, as if taunting the young couple.
“Wait what are y-” Simon said, as Gabrielle rolled own the window.
“Hey did you see that over there?” Gabrielle asked pointing out into the darkness.
“What? It's pouring so hard I can barely see the road!” Simon exclaimed, pulling over.
“You think we should just go back to the campus?”She asked as the rain got worse.
“Nah, we're almost there, and everyone else will be late considering this storm.”Simon said as he tried to start the car. But it wouldn't turn back on.
“You've got to be kidding me, this can't be happening...” Gabrielle said looking out the window.
“I know, first you take forever to get ready, and now the car won't even turn on!”
“No, it's those bright lights....Simon there's a truck heading this way!!”
As the lights got closer, Gabrielle now in awe got out of the car and stood in the middle of the road. As cars skidded past her through the night, the truck got closer.
“Gabrielle get out of the road!” Simon yelled. The truck got closer then the lights suddenly split in two.
“No!” Simon cried, rushing and grabbing Gabrielle; pulling her away from the incoming lights. “Ah!” he groaned as they tumbled to the ground.
Apparently it was only two motorcyclists. Before they even had a chance to move there was another truck coming down the highway. Simon now over top of Gabrielle stared at her as all was quiet. Simon gazed at her as she gazed back. The couple then quickly got up from the ground and ran into the car.
“It won't start again!!!” Simon exclaimed.
“Simon you have to hurry, I think that the truck has lost control!” Gabrielle yelled, panicking as the truck swerved and screeched down the highway.
Simon looked up just in time to see the truck heading toward them. Then finally the car started just in time for him to drive off of the road. But then, RRRRrrr…
“Oh come on are you serious?!” Simon growled.
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s jammed.” Simon said, trying to yank the key out of the ignition.
Beep! Beep! the truck signaled. But it was no use, the car still wouldn’t start.
“Here it comes, hang on!” Gabrielle warned, watching as the truck got even closer. She quickly reached out and grabbed Simon’s hand, gazing at him wide eyed. They held each other, preparing for the worst.
Suddenly, BANG!
Glass shattered as the back window caved in. Causing the car to flip backwards flying through the air, it then rolled violently down the dark road. Metal flew everywhere as the car flipped forwards down the highway!
Just then the car came to a complete solid rock stop. Then silence…
“Oh, my God!” Gabrielle said freaking out.
“What? We didn't get killed? What's wrong now?” Simon asked as Gabrielle jumped out the car. Pointing at Simon’s chest, she covered her mouth backing away. Gazing down he saw that his shirt was covered in blood.
“Are you okay?” Gabrielle asked panicking.
“Yeah, I'm not injured” Simon said. “It’s just ketchup, remember we had French fries two days ago. Remember?”
“Are you okay?” Gabrielle asked sighing in relief.
“Gabrielle.” Simon said smiling calmly. “I'm fine. We should go and check on the truck driver.” He said glancing back at the highway.
There, they both stood in silence to see what looked like over twenty cars all totaled from the truck that lost control. Simon pulled out his phone to call 9-1-1, as Gabrielle went car to car hoping to find any other survivors. But there were none.
15 minutes later Gabrielle walked back to Simon, crying, holding in her hand what appeared to be a pair of shoes.
Sniffing as tears rolled down her cheeks she tried to speak.
“She was only 12 years old; I held her hand as she whispered to me ‘Am I going to be okay?’ I didn’t know what to tell her… sniff, sniff her father and mother’s bones were broken!” Gabrielle then burst into tears running into Simon’s arms. He held her tight and told her not to worry.
“How am I ‘not to worry’ when over 265 innocent lives were taken but ours?!” she cried pushing him away.
Sitting amongst the rumble she stayed silent. Lightning flashed as the rain poured even more.
Just then a faint cry was heard in the distance.“Ahhhhhh!!!!”
“What was that?!” Simon wondered.
“I don’t know, and I don’t care you go check it out!” Gabrielle whined, holding herself as tears streamed down her face.
Simon gave her a glance of hope then took off into the shadows of despair. It was smoky and the smell of burnt metal and blood filled the air.
Searching the rubble Simon stumbled upon the driver of the truck sprawled out on the ground. His leg was obviously broken and the bones in his right arm were protruding out of the skin. Simon tired to turn his head but he couldn’t, he had to get information.
“Hi, I’m Simon do you know what happened?”
“My truck...it-it-it spun out of control, and no one saw it coming....” The man slowly passed out from all of the pain he was in.
Simon slowly walked back to Gabrielle in silence.
“The driver's still alive. He said the truck spun out of control.” Simon said sitting down next to her amidst the rubble. Gabrielle sat in silence for several minutes.
“I don't understand why! How could all these people...except us?” Gabrielle wondered crying again.
Simon wrapped his arm around her until the police, and ambulance finally arrived.
“Hey, the cops are here!” Simon stated jumping to his feet.
The young couple explained everything that happened and walked everyone over to the driver.
“These people are here to help you. Do you remember us?” Simon asked crouching to the driver's level.
Not being able to respond verbally, he nodded, showing he understood what was being said. The ambulance took him away. Just then an odd smell filled the air, different then the smell of burning metal and bodies.
“Sniff, sniff...you smell that?” Simon asked.
Gabrielle wiped her tears and sniffed as well.
“Yeah, what do you think it could be?”
Both of them scanned the area, until they came across a car that apparently didn't have a single scratch on it.
“Whoa! This car doesn't have a single mark on it” Simon said.
Getting closer the smell got even stronger. Simon checked around the whole car, then as he checked under the car. He saw a timer set to go off in the next 4 seconds.
Oh, no... He thought. “Get back it's a bomb! Gabrielle move!”
“Huh? I can't hear you?!” She called.
“Get back it's a—“
BOOOMMM!!!
“Simon! Nooo...” Gabrielle screamed just as she too got thrown from the explosion.
Quickly the ambulance drivers rushed over after the smoke cleared to find both teens on the ground. Gabrielle literally had both eyes gouged out of their sockets along with her left arm completely blown off, while her legs were badly maimed.
Simon on the other hand had been knocked unconscious with a huge gash in his skull; his stomach had a bloody patch of shrapnel quickly burning through the skin.
“OH MY GOD!!!” one of the ambulance attendants screamed backing away.
“We have to get these two to the hospital and fast before it's too late!” another urged.
After 5-7 months of intensive surgery, both teens recovered but were slightly altered beyond comprehension.
“Uuhhh?” Gabrielle slowly opened her eyes and looked around.
Lifting her hand she heard a metallic noise while green, white and blue lights could be seen shining off of her. Struggling to get out of bed she walked towards the bathroom. As she reached out for the handle. She noticed her whole hand was robotic, then, gazing down at her legs they also were robotic. At moment she screamed loudly. Running at the door, slamming her fist against it, which created a huge dent.
“Ahhhh!!!” She cried, sliding to the floor, as she gazed in horror at her now robotic limbs.
Surgeons spent many months reconstructing Gabrielle’s body. Pieces of her skin were grafted onto her legs to make them look as ‘human’ as possible. Gabrielle was not just a human anymore, she was an android. Her legs were rebuilt with advanced state of the art cyber technology which allowed her to run faster and jump higher. Specialized surgeons implanted nano bots into her blood stream which allowed her to move her now robotic arm with her mind!
Her eyes, however were very unique unlike any other part of her body. They were small “eye” like spheres, although she could no longer see any color; Gabrielle had different optical lenses which she could change with her thoughts. Thinking a moment then grinning slightly she forgot all about the fact she was an android. Gabrielle never knew or wanted this to be her fate; she somehow saw it as a rebirth, a second chance at life. Just then she heard a crash.
“Huh?” Gabrielle wondered gazing around the room.
Using her new sight, she could see through the wall and saw Simon on the ground holding his head in agonizing pain.
“Argh! Ahhhh!!!” he growled slamming his fists into the ground, creating massive craters in the floor around the areas of his fists. His hands were chained together and he was chained by his neck to a huge machine that sent electricity flowing through his body any time he got too far from the device.
After being rushed to the emergency room, Simon was injected with over literally 45 different drugs, because they thought that he was dead so they injected him with all those drugs, in hopes of bringing him back to life. Many syringes were shattered across the floor. Months went by then suddenly Simon awoke he had many needles in his arms. Snatching them from his body, the surgeons stationed a device and chained him down like an animal, watching his progress.
The machine was used to restrain him and keep track of how many drugs were supposed to be placed his body. Simon apparently was not the same either. All his scars healed as if a magician performed a trick on him. He could now speak over 23 different languages.
He was much stronger than before, his reflexes, and senses were heightening extremely. Simon could even move objects with his mind, and shoot powerful neon green explosive blasts from his hands.
“Aw, Simon…” she whispered to herself softly as tears began to form in her eyes.
Pressing her back against the wall, she again slide to the floor and sobbed.
What happened to us? She thought.
To be continued….
