THE DAY JUST WENT FROM BAD TO WORSE
I don't own anything though I wish I did sometimes. All the disclaimers still apply though.
Chapter 10
Lord Zedd walked into the throne room and saw Rita and Goldar celebrating. He got a bad feeling about what he was seeing so he asked RIta "What is going on here?"
Rita who was so proud of the plan bodly stated "We have kidnapped Tommy and his little Miss Kimmy."
Zedd didn't know what to think. He knew of the whole plan and it involved killing the ex pink ranger and turning Tommy back into an evil ranger with a even more stronger spell than before. Rita took Lord Zedd's silence as jealously so she turned back to Goldar and started dancing around with him again. Zedd decided that he would go down and talk to the two so that he could give them a heads up that he would come up with a plan to get them out of there soon and unharmed. Rita saw Zedd turn away and wanted to follow him so that he could not "play" with them without her. After all she figured it was me who captured them.
Lord Zedd could sense her behind him so he decided instead of talking with them to reassure them he would just check this time to make sure they were not hurt in any way.
Tommy held Kimberly close in the cell they were put in. He could tell she would open her eyes soon as he felt her coming around. Within the next two minutes he was rewarded when she opened her eyes and just smiled at him. Tommy knew they were in a bad situation. Not only were they captured but Kimberly was still running a fever and even though he couldn't check how high it was he knew she was so hot it was probably serious. "What happened Tommy?" Kimberly asked
Tommy looked at her and replied "You fainted. I was going to take you back to the Youth Center so we could get my car and I could take you to the hospital but Goldar decided to attack then and first they captured you and then they captured me."
"Oh and here I thought you took me away on a romantic get away" she tried to joke.
"Well if that is what you want I will have to do that once we get out of here" he said honestly. "I am not going to let anything bad happen to you."
"I know Tommy. I trust you." she whispered.
All of the sudden the door to their cell opened and in walked Lord Zedd and Rita. Knowing the threat they pose Tommy helped Kimberly to her feet and then stood in front of her as to protect her from any harm that could come their way. Lord Zedd was puzzled. He knew that Tommy would see him as a threat but he didn't understand why Kimberly looked so bad. He could only assume that she was sick so that sent him wondering if Goldar somehow managed to slip something in her food or beverage without her knowledge. Rita was absolutely beside herself with glee. Lord Zedd decided to try and get a closer look at Kimberly so he took a couple of steps to the left away from Rita.
Tommy seeing this decided that at that moment Zedd was the bigger threat. As he turned slightly so he could cover the part of Kim that was exposed when Zedd took those steps another part of Kim became exposed to Rita. Upon seeing this Rita took the opening she saw and she pointed her staff at Kimberly and sent a blast that sent her off the ground to the far side wall successfully knocking her out once again. Horrified both Lord Zedd and Tommy looked immeaditely at Rita who was once again jumping up and down with glee. "What they hell is wrong with you Rita?" demanded Tommy. "What is with the sudden interest with us anyways?"
"Sudden interest?" she mocked "There was nothing sudden about it. Goldar and I have been messing around with you for a while now. Where else do you think that letter you got came from?"
"That was you?" asked Tommy
"Of course. Who else has the brillance to do something like that?" she mocked
Feeling as if she made her point she turned and looked at Loerd Zedd stating "Let's get out of here Zedd. I have big plans for them later and they are not going anywhere." Zedd knew he couldn't help them right now so he followed out Rita but he knew he would be back as soon as she went to sleep for the night.
After they left Tommy rushed over to Kim and tried to wake her up. After five minutes and with no success he took off the jacket he had on and started wipping the sweat from Kim's forehead. He didn't know how but somehow Kim got even hotter than before and the sweat was dripping off of her. He knew he would have to wait it out so he moved Kim so that her head would be resting in his lap.
Tommy looked at his watch and decided he should rest as well because who knows what they will be facing later. Closing his eyes he drifted off into a light sleep. It wasn't until Kimberly started to stir in his lap that woke him.
Kim woke from her deep sleep and saw her sleeping Tommy. She knew that in this type of situation he would wake as soon as she moved. She couldn't help it though she lifted her right hand and gently stroked his cheek.
As soon as his eyes opened he looked down at her and smiled. "How are you feeling?" He asked
"I'm fine" she assured him. However he knew her well enough to hear the pain in her voice so he asked again "How are you really feeling?
She took a long look at him before she answered. She knew that he would keep asking so long as she kept lying so she sighed and "I hurt. Mostly from the stomach down. So long as I don't move it is only a 7 out of 10 on the pain chart."
This worried Tommy. It is true that she should be sore but the blast she got from Rita was in the chest not the stomach. Whatever was causing her pain he knew it didn't start with Rita's blast. This made the situation more serious and he knew he didn't have much longer before Kim would go from stable to ... well he didn't want to go there. Not yet. Not while there was still hope that the rangers would come for them.
Kim sensed Tommy's worry and asked "So where would you take me if you took me away on a romantic getaway?"
Knowing how he felt was nothing compared to how she was feeling he decided to answer her "I would take you anywhere you wanted. I know you love the rain now so Seattle is known for their rain. Probably there. It wouldn't matter to me where we went so long as we were together. Though I should probably warn you that if we were on a romantic getaway I would not be able to wait to get you somewhere where I could start kissing you and then to make love to you."
Kimberly thought on that for a moment before she looked back at him and answered "Tommy will you kiss me?"
He wanted to but he didn't know how or how much pain she was in. He didn't want to hurt her more. Seeing the indecision in his eyes she said "Please Tommy. I want you to and I am asking you to."
He nodded. He gently lifed her head from his lap and laid next to her with his arm under her head. As she looked up at him he knew he could not deny her anything. So he lowered his head and captured her lips with his own. The kiss he gave her was one of the most gentle, beautiful kisses most people dream about having. After a few moments he lifted his head and smiled at her.
"I love you Tommy... never forget that."
"You sound like you are saying goodbye to me. That is not what you are doing is it?" He demanded
Instead of answering his question she turned her body to the opposite side that Tommy was on and proceeded to throw up blood all over herself and the floor.
