AN: Hi, Sorry the last chapter was so short, it was supposed to be the intro to the story and I kind of wanted to make it suspenseful. Also, I don't care if you review, that won't be why I update. If you do choose to review then I would like it very much if you would please not throw flames, it really only tells me that you don't like it, but they won't stop me writting. Also I thank those who reviewed previous to this chapter being updated, you know who you are. anywash, I took up enough space and most likely than not most of the people who are reading the story just skip over this part, so without further adu...
ON TO THE STORY!!!
When she awoke she realized that it was dark, meaning that they had taken her to the infirmary and had turned out the lights. She hated the dark, but fortunately for her she knew about the light switch on the side of all the beds.
She flipped the switches and suddenly regretted it as she saw all her teammates surrounding her bed. She pretended to be asleep as they all woke up from their sleep. And because Carlos was at that side of the bed he might be blamed for it rather than her. Not to mention that her eyes were burning from the brightness that the lights emitted.
She felt someone tighten their grip on her hand and then release it, but it couldn't have been Carlos, he was on the other side of her. TJ wouldn't hold her hand, he'd wait till she was awake and then hug her to death. So that left Cassie and Andros, but Cassie didn't have that rough of hands. That left…
"Andros?"
"Yeah Cass?"
"What time is it?" Cassie asked groggily.
"About 3, why?"
"Cause that's when Alpha predicted that Ashley would wake up."
Suddenly there were footsteps coming towards her and she could practically feel their eyes on her. She wanted nothing more than to disappear right then. Well, that and some hot chocolate.
"Maybe Alpha's calculations were off." Andros said frustrated as he hit the wall with his fist.
Just as everyone was walking away she found the strength to talk.
"I…want….chocolate" she said wincing as every word came out. She didn't know what caused it, but she felt like she had been knocked upside the head a few hundred times. Which was probably true as Cassie's view of gentle and hers were completely different as Cassie thought gentile meant not giving them marks, but otherwise smacking the person senseless.
"Ash!!"
"Ashley!"
"You're awake!"
"AHH!!"
These sounds she recognized though they gave her a immense headache. She winced at the sound and they seemed to get the point that the loud noises hurt her.
"Ash, you're awake! How are you, are you okay, you gave us a scare, maybe we shouldn't play that long next time, I think you kind of needed loads of sleep"
"W-why?" she stammered as it was still hard for her to talk.
"Cause you were out for five days Ashley!" This was a different voice. It soothed her like a brothers voice might. No, your brothers dead, you left him in the streets to die after you fled Yelled one part of her I didn't leave him, he practically forced me to go when he told the others to take me as far away as possible. Yelled the sensible part of her right back at her.

"Guys I think she's going delusional, her brother is still at home waiting for her to come home from Summer School."
She apparently didn't realize that she had screamed aloud of every one to hear. Andros knew that this is what his sister had done but she had always stayed with him after the fight with their parents. They had screamed so loudly that it had frightened both children and they had eventually ended up in Andros' room hugging each other for support. Then a few years later there had been a massive fight, in which Zhane had gone into his coma.
He had sent Karone away for fear that she might also end up in a coma. She had given him her morphed just before she had gone to ensure that she would be back. He hadn't seen her since then and had given her morpher to Ashley.
He had cried himself to sleep that night because his mind kept telling him that he had betrayed his only sister.
