Hi Guys! I hope that you enjoy this chapter. I most likely won't be updating this quickly for a while, but if I am, consider it a miracle!
Chapter 2
The sun shone down and to anyone not apart of Kenzi's entourage, the day was good! Kenzi paced up and down the length of their entry way, just waiting for Hale and Dyson to arrive. She had begun to dial Lauren's number but something had stopped her. Something deep within her told her to stop. Kenzi had survived for as long as she had due to her persistence, con ability, and her instincts. And her instincts had been not to call Lauren. After what felt like an eternity, a resounding knock reverberated throughout the silent home.
The moment that Hale set foot into the house, he could tell that something was wrong. The house was quiet. No music, no swishing of a sword cutting through the hair, hell there weren't even heels clicking against the ground. And this is when he realized how serious the situation truly was. He decided to take a quick look and Kenzi's feet to see if he was deaf or if she truly wasn't wearing those high-heeled boots that he so adored. What he saw caused him to have a heart attack. Her bunny slippers were covered in blood. Her striped pants had stains on the knees and a bloody handprint on the right thigh.
Dyson could smell the blood before the door opened. At first he thought that it was Kenzi who had been injured, but that thought fled from her mind when he saw her smeared make-up and blood-shot eyes. He eyed the blood trail that had been smeared due to Kenzi's pants and slippers. Everything in him told him that he needed to find Bo. His recently acquired heart began to beat so hard it physically hurt, and it took all his will power not to let his pain show.
"Kenzi, what happened?" Dyson's voice seemed to be the key to the lock that had previously tied Kenzi's tongue.
Kenzi looked as though she might be sick. Her hands were covered in blood, and she had stains everywhere. "I went to go see Bo this morning. She wasn't up before me. That was weird by itself, but then when I went upstairs, she was still in bed! She looked awful." Kenzi began to walk towards the stairs that led them to Bo's room. "She got out of bed, and there was something wrong with her leg. But then started walking on it, and it got worse. Oh god…" She leaned against the frame of the doorway for support and rang her hands before continuing. "She passed out. That was when I called you. But then it got worse." Silent tears were now falling from her eyes. "At first I didn't even see it, but then I noticed. She had a gash on her head that started bleeding, like a mother of freaking waterfalls. Then her side and then her leg looked funny." There was silence other than the sounds of their walking. Kenzi released a shaking breath before stepping into Bo's room.
Hale and Dyson were in shock. Bo lay on the floor, surrounded by her own blood, her leg was bent at an odd angle, her head was covered in scratches and cuts, and her knuckles were bruised. Dyson was at her side in an instant. He cradled her head into her lap and began to look her injury's. Hale wasn't far behind.
"Wait, so let me get this straight," Hale began. "Your girl fell and then BOOM! All of this happened? She wasn't in a fight last night? She didn't fall down a crap ton of stairs, or get into a fight last night? She just fell, then this happened? All at once?"
Kenzi was shaking. "No, it didn't happen all at once. I told you, it started with the gash on her head and then it got worse. They just appeared. Like one at a time." Kenzi looked worriedly at Dyson. She could tell that he breaking apart. He was going through the motions.
Dyson felt so useless. Desperate to try anything, Dyson tried to give Bo a bit of his Chi. She remained unresponsive. He wanted nothing more than to scoop Bo up into his arms and bring her to his home. Where he felt that he should be able to protect her from anything, but he knew that even his home wouldn't he able to save her. He had never heard of something like this happening. How could someone who was unconscious, still be getting injured? He had never heard of this before. There here were few who knew more than he. "We need to call Trick."
"Yeah, course. I'll get one that." Kenzi said quickly.
Remembering how he had been able to help Kenzi during The Battle, Hale wanted to cauterize Bo's wounds. "Hey, Dyson, where's the worst of the bleeding coming from? I can only stop one place, so make it count."
Trick had been enjoying a busy day at the Dahl when he got Kenzi's frantic call. Unsure if his renewed protectiveness had to do with his new role of Grandfather, or that Bo had been the one to save his life? He decided regardless of his new feelings regarding Bo, he would do anything to save her. Hitting the books began to look for something that sounded like what Kenzi had said about Bo's condition. What shocked him more than anything had been that Bo hadn't taken Dyson's Chi. He had never heard of that.
Back at the club house, the boys and Kenzi were busy wrapping and cleaning Bo's wounds. "Her shirt needs to come off." Dyson said. Kenzi raised her eyebrows at him. But gave into his command. When Bo's shirt came off everyone did a double take, again. Her stomach was covered in deep black and blue marks.
"What the hell is going on?" Hale said. Although he was the one to voice what everyone was thinking, it still scared him to think that something new and awful was happening. Something that they weren't ready for.
