Beaten

Cold

Chained

Her face been torn up from being beaten unconsious. The ranger had beed stripped of her uniform and styler left only with cuffs around her wrist chained to the wall holding her back and a white ball gown covered in her blood. Blue and cold as ice. Her exotic blood dripped from the corner of her mouth and onto the top of the dress. Like polka dots. The floor and walls were steel; indistrucitable but not sound proof.

Her door opened she didn't look thinking that it was no one to her own appeal. Kate finally gave in she looked up almost in tears as the flame haired boy aproched her. His hands warm at the touch sent shivers down her spine as he grasped her cheek; his thumb gently gliding aross the stained light blue soft skin with the pale complexion.

Her eyes teared in joy, "Keith!"

She regained consciousness.

"Yelling his name doesn't mean he's going to save you!" The man with the slick black hair yelled furious at her sending the back of his hand roaring through the air with a smack against her pale blood stained cheek. Ice flinched at the smacking noise as his boss left the room leaving Kate on the floor; arms chained the the wall. Ice closed the door not letting anyone else in as he ran to her.

"Are you okay?" He asked pulling out the blue blood stained rag from his pocket meaning that cleaning her blood and caring for her was not a rare occurrence. He bundled the rag up cleaning the blood off her face. She looked at him, 'You don't have to work for him...' She thought allowed to him. Ice let out a long sigh, "I do, and Kate, as much as I hate it, I have to." he said before Kate could think or speak another word he left. She was left alone for several minutes until he returned and said one thing and one thing only, "He's coming. I promise." and left for good.

Kate sat there; the cuffs around her wrists started digging into her flesh she continued hanging her head letting out a sigh.

Meanwhile at the ranger base, Keith had spent his time sulking in his room with Buizel, Pachirisu, and Pidgot. All three missed her just as much as anyone at the base, who were sending rangers all over the region, who were answering her ransoms, who were even recruiting rangers from Foire. Kellyn was recruited to be a top ranger and Lunick was brought over from Foire to help get Kate back. Keith looked at the gem Kate had gone missing.

There was an empty darkness lurking inside of him. His eyes glazed over and his mouth dry as his eyes looked into an endless abyss, he had lost the love of his life. He had just realised that he loved her and now; now she's gone. He couldn't stand not being with her. Even when he was in Foire. Although; he never did want to admit it, he still missed her. He longed for the moments where he could hold her and do nothing else. Just sit in silence and listen to each others heart beats as the went in sync. To feel her lips pressed to his, soft smooth.

He shook his head out of the trance he was letting him self fall into. He laid back in his bed looking at the ceiling.

"Keith! Ke-Keith! We've found her!" Kellyn said bursting through the door. Keith sprung up and ran towards the research room.

"Where is sh-"

Everything was slow. His mouth partially hung open as his eyes slowly moved up to the screen. They had hacked that security system cameras, it was horrific. The sounds of the smacks and screams slowly leaking into his ears. His head shook slowly as he backed away. Isaac holding Rhythmi tight as she sobbed Sven and Wendy trying there best not to. Kellyn to horrified to look. Lunick took it in as tears fled calmly from his eyes. Keith turned and ran from the room and to the outside. Buizle and Kate's partners beside him. Lunick knew where he was going and chased after him. Directly as he grabbed Keith's arm he broke down in rivers of tears.

"Wait. Wait and plan. Then we save her... I want to just as bad as you do." He said helping Keith up bringing him back into the research room.

Rhythmi ran to him still crying, "We're saving her now." She said calmly as more tears escaped her eyes. Keith nodded and listed to the plans.

"Kellyn, Lunick and Vein town rangers you will be clearing obstacles getting as many Dim Suns as you can arrested." Erma paused, "Keith, you will save her and you will tell her she has to stop Blake, then you, Sven, and Wendy will circle the shadow crystal with the tears." Erma paused wiping her eyes, "Win or Lose; just get Kate back."
