Clawed By The Tiger
Chapter One: The Accident
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG"
"Don't hang up I'm coming, I'm coming..." Mariah finally unlocked her hotel room door and rushed in to answer the phone. She was thinking it was probably the hotel people calling to tell me Kevin broke something else. With that thought in her head she answered the phone.
"What did he do this time?" She asked in a bored, dull voice.
"Ummm... Mariah is that you?" She could tell it was Lee voice but it sounded different, completely worn and sounded as if he had been crying. Instantly, she knew something was wrong.
"Lee. What's wrong?" She asked, hearing the panic and fear edging in her voice. She braced for herself for what she knew was coming.
"It's Ray."
"What happened?"
"The Bladebreakers got into an accident and..."
"Is he okay?Is he alive?"
"Shut up and I'll tell you"
"Okay"
"Okay. Ray is in a coma. Something hit him in the back of head when he was trying to block some of the stuff from hitting Tyson. His breathing is unsteady and he probably won't make it through the night."
"Oh...my...God" was all Mariah could say before breaking down. Questions formed in her head but she couldn't ask Lee. She couldn't talk at all. Why Ray? Why not someone else? He's a hero. He saved Tyson and let himself take the pain. "Mariah...? Kevin's waiting for you in his room. Gary and me are already here at the hospital" "Okay, we'll be there soon" and she hung up the phone. She went to get her brother and for once he wasn't joking around over everything only some things. They called a taxi and sat on a bench outside to wait for it. Mariah couldn't help it. She hugged her little brother and cried. Surprisingly he didn't say anything, he was crying a bit too.
Later on, at the hospital, the White Tigers, along with the Bladebreakers, waited anxiously to find out how their friend was. Mariah surveyed the room. When she looked at her own team she thought she was looking at aliens. Lee looked lost and completely worn out, as if he hadn't slept in a week, and Gary just seemed a little distant. It was looking into the eyes of her little brother that pained her the most. He looked more lost then Mariah had ever seen him. She guessed this was because he was younger and hadn't experienced things like this before. The rest of the White Tigers had, in a way already experienced something like this. Lee's younger sister had been caught in the current of a river and drown before their very eyes three years previously.
Now she looked at the Bladebreakers. Max's eyes were not bright with happiness but bright with tears. Tyson was quiet and subdued. When Mariah looked at Kai she was looking at a pained person, someone who was pained at the thought of losing a friend. (Either that or having 15 stitches up his arm was making him look that way) Kenny was whimpering softly, sounding like a hurt puppy.
A little while later, an upset looking doctor came in with anything but good news. "Your friend is getting ready for surgery. We have slightly stabilized his breathing and pulse. However he is still in critical condition. We do think that he can make a full recovery if-and that's if he makes it through these next couple of days. It won't be easy but with your guy's support he can make it." The room was silent for a few minutes as everyone took in what the doctor had jut said. Mariah could feel tears welling in her eyes. She noticed she wasn't the only one in the room like that though.
Soon after, everyone left the hospital to try and get some sleep. When Mariah got into her room she crawled under the blanket on her bed and cried herself to sleep.
