About an hour after when she was taken in , the docter spoke. She has it again , but its not the same type.We know that much.We need a bone marrow sample to find out what type it is now.Dr.Greene said to Jake.He nodded. Alright.When do you sedate her? he was worried about Rachel. The docter sighed. Well , Mr.Crone , we cant. Right now shes very weak. If she is sedated there is a 85 precent chance she wont be waking up again.He said. Jake bit his lip , tears filling his blue eyes. He just nodded and Mr.Greene left.In the room , on a metal bed type thing , Rachel lay and waited for the marrow to be taken. One of the docters came up. Now Rachel , you have to hold still.This will be a bit painful.She said , picking up a tube with a long , thick needle attatched. Rachel nodded and shut her eyes tightly. Straps were closed over her chest so she would not squirm or bolt. She was scared , as she had neever done this while she was awake and didnt want to. Her hospital gown was drawn up around her hip , where the marrow was be taken. Rachel braced herself. The thick silver needle plunged into her skin quickly , and she wimpered but nothing more until the needle was ripped threw her bone. Then shelet out a scream that she didnt mean to but it just hurt so bad. Ow!Stop!She screamed. But the woman didnt stop she pressed a button on the tube and the liquid marrow was extracted. The needle was pulled out and Rqachel relaxed.She hadnt relized it but she had dug her nails into the skin of her palms , drawing much blood as she bled so easily now. Rachel gulped , letting the pain fade away. She looked up at the female docter. I-is it over now?She asked queitly. The woman didnt make eye contact and shook her head. No.We're going to need alot mroe than that. Rachel froze up again. And the woman grabbed her arm , turning it over and pushing the needle into the skin.Rachel bit her lip so hard she cut it open with her teeth , the metallic taste of blood filling her mouth. Then the needle went into her bone , a strange kind of pain she never wanted to feel again. She stifled another scream , and merely held it down and screamed silently in her head. Tears filled her eyes and the needle was pulled out again , leaving a circle shape in Rachel's skin. She breathed out shakily ,, letting the pain slip away or maybe she was ignoring it. After one more of these and another stifled scream of pain it was over. Rachel was exhausted with the effort of not screamingout again. And from the first scream. She was taken back into her room and put on IVs. Her frail , thin body lay back against the bed , face so pale veins could be seen. She was out of breath, and breathed in and out slowly. An oyxgen mask was put over her face soon. She looked compeltly unlike herself....
