chapter iv: every story has a beginning

THE SOUND OF A YOUNG CHILD'S GIGGLES BOUNCED OFF THE WALLS OF THE HOUSE.The giggles of the child belonged to eight-year-old Fay Brianna Taylor. Her father was crouched beside the girl, bringing her dolls up to her and watched as the child played.
For a young age, Fay had a brilliant and creative mind. She'd always play some type of act with her dolls—whether it would be fun, romantic, dark, etc. She'd always have a scenario of what to play out with her dolls.
Gabriel Taylor watched with a beaming smile, pure contentment filling his chest. He was too distracted with the sight of his daughter that he hadn't heard the phone ringing. Fay's ears peaked as she heard the phone blare and frowned to her father, "daddy ... the phone."
Gabriel raised his brows and sighed, coming to his senses. Standing up, he waltzed to where his phone was placed on the edge of the counter. His eyes continued to peer into Fay's form as he picked up the phone, placing it against his ear, "hello?" It was an unknown number.
"Hello ... is this Gabriel Taylor? Husband of Harper Brianna Taylor and father of Brian Taylor?" The man frowned at the unknown voice as she spoke and nodded, even though she couldn't see him, "uh, y—yes. What is this about?"
"I'm sorry to inform you, Sir," Her voice was oleum yet he could hear the sorrow that was laced in her voice has she reluctantly spoke, "but they've been assigned into the hospital about an hour ago," Gabriel's body felt like ice. He turned away from his daughter, facing the window of their kitchen where he stood. He gulped, fighting the feeling of rushing tears in his eyes, "w—what happened? Are they okay?"
"They've been put into the ICT. They came in with internal bleeding, a couple broken ribs due to a car incident today a drunk driver ... were not sure whether they're going to make it. I'm deeply sorry," Gabriel froze. He hung up the phone, tears trailing down his cheeks.
Fay noticed the sudden rushed behaviour of her father as he grabbed his keys and got ready to leave rapidly. Fay put down her dolls and walked up to her dad as he scavenged around, "daddy, what's wrong?" The young girl asked.
The worried man didn't answer his daughter but instead scooped her in his arms. Once he had everything including Fay, they made their way to the car and sped over to the local hospital where Harper and Brian were situated.
