<em>Screams and items were thrown around. Blood spilled and bones were bruised and broken in the fight to survive. She did not want to die. Desperately, she wanted to live and see James and Nathan. Have a chance to have her first shot of tequila even though she was not a drinker, unlike the her parents. Maybe even have a child if she ever stopped thinking about how she might be a horrible mother like her own mom. <br/><br/>Growls and curses were met as he grabbed her around the waist and tried to subdue her to the ground. Earlier, the pepper spray had helped to distract Jace when he inhaled and the knife he tried to use on her ended up cutting her arm, the wound deep and bleeding heavily. When the Jace gasped and coughed, she ran for the front door but he grabbed her around the wrist pulling her back. She slipped and hit her left wrist against the wall, cursing as the pain shot up through her arm. <br/><br/>"You're not leaving the party, honey. We are getting to the best part," he bit out, as he tried to swipe her with the knife. Using the wrist he held in his grip, she threw her weight into him, the two slamming into the wall. <br/><br/>The knife slipped from his grasp, sliding against the fake mahogany floor, as both struggled to subdue the other. She threw her knees up, satisfaction rolling through her as she hit him where it was the most sensitive for a male. He fell to the side, grasping his crotch, her foot coming down to smash into his stomach. Before she made contact, he took hold of her leg, using it to vault her towards her couch. <br/><br/>After that the lights went out and only the sounds of sirens were in the distant. She wondered if the sirens were angels coming to take her away from this pain. </em><br/><br/>Monitors beeped and nurses came in and out to check her pulse as she laid silently on the bed. The nurses could not believe the appearance of the patient in the hospital bed. After examination, doctors concluded she suffered a sprained right ankle, popped her right knee cap out, fractured left wrist, several bruised ribs, bruising around her throat and wrists, cut lower lip, black right eye, and several cuts and scrapes ranging in the need for five stitches to thirty stitches to close them up. For her knee cap, while under anesthesia, her knee cap was popped back in place, cast covered her left wrist and ankle wrapped in bandaged and packed with ice to bring down the swelling.<br/><br/>Marking off the necessary items, the doctor turned to the group of nurses. "It is a miracle she fought off the assailant with these injuries," the doctor commented as he left the necessary charts and instructions with the nurses. Before the good doctor left, one of the nurses commented it was not an assault from a stranger but from an ex-boyfriend who committed this awful act.<br/><br/>"Hopefully the bastard has been found," muttered one of the nurses as she hoped the immediate family the police officers had called when they managed to find the bloody wallet near the front door showed there was only two people to call on in case of emergencies. Two men by the name of Ethan and James. Hopefully these two men would be able to help the patient Anna Gray if and when she came out of her medication stupor who would need assitance to get home in a few days.
