What-if Maria when she survived her fateful day with almost dying.

Chapter 1: Pain
Maria survived her ordeal, she was found bleeding in the basement.

”Mommy....” She mumbled.

She couldn’t see it very well, but she saw her attackers arrested.

“Shhh, it’s okay sweetie....” A paramedic said he got the little girl on the stretcher, he picked up her bag.

Joseph looked at the ambulance.

A female paramedic walked up to him and went down to his height.

”She suffered pretty badly, she might not pull through the night.” She said in a calm voice.

Martin and Satsuki boarded the ambulance.

”Maria-chan....” She said.

Maria opened her eyes.

”Mommy....” She mumbled, her throat felt painful and dry.

She looked at them.

”I’m thirsty......” She mumbled.

The ambulance drove off, Maria was almost startled.

”Will we go to Japan?” She asked.

”Yes, sweetie.....” Martin said.

“Mommy......Where is Joseph?” Maria mumbled.

”At school, his mommy might bring you into the hospital.” Martin said.

The doctors used x-rays, blood transfusions and painkillers.

“Are you two Maria’s parents?” The doctor asked.

”Yes.” Martin said as Satsuki nodded.

”Maria has suffered a broken arm, fractured ribs, We might have to give her another blood transfusion.”

”Can we see her?” Satsuki asked.

The doctor nodded, Satsuki and Martin were led into Maria’s room, Maria laid down with her eyes open.

She looked at the needle in her arm.

”Hey baby girl....” Martin said.

”Daddy....” She mumbled.

”She had a low blood count, her right arm is broken, 4 of her ribs are broken.” The doctor said.

Maria looked at the machines.

”Maria?” The nurse said.

Maria was reading her mother’s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure manga comic when she heard the nurse,

The pediatric nurse came in, she had medicine aswell as milk.

”Is that a comic you’re reading?” She asked.

”Hai, It’s a manga called JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, My mommy got it as an early Christmas gift, It’s about a Japanese-American boy who goes on an adventure with his grandpa, his grandpa’s Egyptian friend, his rival turned friend and a Frenchman, they are on a journey to save the boy’s mommy because her magical abilties hurt her and they need to defeat a bad man who stole his ancestor’s body 100 years ago, My mommy gave me it to read, It’s only in Japanese though.” She said.
