Trent was pacing so much he could have put a groove in the floor. Conner and Ethan were sitting on the couch looking like they had just run over a cat while Tommy was making coffee in his kitchen. When Haley came up the steps Conner, Ethan, and Trent rushed over to her.
"How is she?"
"She is resting right now but still hasn't regained consciousness."
"Can we see her?"
"Only one at a time though."
"Ok you can go first Trent."
"Thanks Conner."
"Oh and before I forget, if she wakes up while you are down there she may have suffered some memory loss."
"How? Her helmet should have protected her from a concussion"
"The monster's name was Memerase as in Memory Eraser."
"Can you fix it?" asked Tommy
"I don't know yet."
Trent just stood there in a trance like state. He kept seeing the battle over and over again and then the image flipped to the kiss they had shared right before the battle.
"Trent, why don't you go see her now."
Trent walked slowly down the stairs towards the medical corner of the cave. He sat next to Kira and took her hand in his. He was so worried about her and what made it worse was that he blamed himself for what had happened to her. He thought the he should have been more careful during the battle and then she would be ok.
"Kira, I'm so sorry that this happened to you. We just realized our feelings and now you're hurt and it's all my fault. You have to be ok; I can't live with the fact that the girl I love got hurt because I was too incompetent to defend myself."
Trent was crying now with silent tears of grief and sorrow running down his face. He sweetly kissed Kira's forehead then let the stress of the day overcome him and he drifted off into a restless sleep with his head on the edge of the cot.
When Conner and Ethan came down a short time later and saw Trent sleeping with his head resting on the cot with Kira's hand in his.
"Come on, let's leave them alone."
"Ok, dude I wonder when they will tell each other?"
"I don't know Ethan, but the whole flirt then blush and hide thing is really getting annoying."
With that they walked back up the steps and left their two comrades asleep in the Dino Cave.
