Sorry I left you on another cliffy guys! You all seemed really mad with me for that! Sorry if I scared any of you! We have a little more Max Millie fluffiness coming up for any fans of it!
I am insanely busy and haven't had time to respond to any of you or start reading any of the new stories I see are now up. I haven't even reviewed Forbidden yet (the most recent chapter was Ah-mazing!!). I have my family down for a visit, I love them but can barely ever get near the computer. I was up till midnight last night finishing this off and even then someone was bugging me say that they had something important to do. (her exact words were, stop writing those crap fanfics no one cares!) There may be some spelling mistakes here but please bear with me I didn't have time to spell check everything
I do not own beyblade.
Previously…..
"Don't worry" the nurse whispered "I'm just finished here." as the nurse began to tidy up Hilary smiled and looked down at Kai, gently rubbing the back of his hand with her fingers.
Suddenly the hand in hers jerked and Kai's whole body began to convulse violently, Hilary felt panic grip her and she immediately tried to hold him down. The nurse dropped what she was doing and ran forward to join her.
"What's wrong?" Hilary yelled as the looked at the machines Kai was hooked up to trying to understand what was going on, suddenly the shaking and fitting finished and Kai stopped moving entirely.
And now….
Silence filled the air only broken by that reassuring beep from the heart monitor, he was alive...just!
Hilary breathed deeply trying to keep clm. She had been sure that he was dead the machines said he was alive but she still found herself placing her finger on his neck she could feel a steady pulse. Suddenly Kai began to move again instinctively Hilary began to hold him down but Kai merely shifted uncomfortably, muttering in his sleep. Hilary watched his face carefully smiling slightly as she gazed at him.
Suddenly becoming conscious that she was still holding Kai down a hand on one shoulder and her other hand located on his bare chest, she may have been applying less pressure than before but Hilary felt embarrassed. Slowly, uncertainly she took her hands away, on the other side of the bed the nurse followed suit.
"Was that supposed to happen?" the nurse asked staring at him "this is the first time I've ever given anyone this stuff is that normal?"
"No" Hilary shook he head "no one has ever done that before. What were you giving him? Rooksen?"
"Sorry what?" The nurse looked up confusedly, looking up Hilary noticed that the nurse was actually very young, probably just a few years older than her it was easy to see that she was panicking, gently reassuring the nurse Hilary asked again.
"Is that the Rooksen solution?"
"Yes," she nodded slowly her lower lip trembling "I don't think I did anything wrong but…."
"It's OK" Hilary reassured "I'm sure you did what you were supposed to."
"I followed the instructions to the letter"
"How much did you put in?"
"200 ml's as Dr. Tatibana instructed"
"Wait 200? It should be 20 ml" Hilary exclaimed urgently moving to the end of the bed and consulting his chart "Oh my god it does say 200! Have you administered this to any of the others?" She was practically yelling by now as she stared down at the charts.
"No Kai's was the first room," the nurse sounded afraid so Hilary sensitively changed her tone.
"It should be 20," she reiterated gently "change their charts immediately if you give them that much you won't be stalling the cybernetics you could be speeding them up! Go change the others charts before someone else does this!"
"I'll do that right now, I'm so sorry" the nurse ran out leaving Hilary alone with Kai's unconscious form.
"It's not your fault, Brady screwed up again that's all" Hilary muttered to herself.
Alone and afraid she stood looking down at Kai, gently she brushed a hand against his cheek "Hey Kai I'm going to go talk to Brady and the others, try not to die while I'm gone OK?" With one last look back at the bed Hilary left the room.
--
"Looks like we could definitely set up a small burst of electromagnetic energy, if we keep it low we'll only affect a ten mile radius" Brady nodded as he listened to his colleague
"Will it definitely do what we think?"
"It will destroy the bugs inside them as Hilary predicted"
"We actually think they might survive it, they're all only in stage two and they're perfectly healthy…."
"BRADY!!" they could hear Hilary coming as she walked down the corridor yelling angrily "Brady where the hell are you?"
As the brunette threw open the door to the lab the group of scientists all looked at her surprised, Hilary walked over to her uncle and threw the prescriptions in his face
"What's wrong?" Brady blinked at her sounding confused
"200 ml's instead of 20" Hilary told him her chin trembling as she pointed down at what he had written
One of the other scientists took the chart and stared at it "Oh my god, Brady how could you make such a mistake?" he held out the form for Brady to see.
"I didn't, at least" Brady paused and looked down at the papers in front of him "I don't think I did"
"I told you!" Hilary brushed away the tears falling from her eyes, "I told you to get someone to double check you're work. I said that if you didn't something could go wrong"
"Have they all been given the high dosage?" Renaldo (drawn to the room thanks to Hilary's shouting) asked cautiously
"No" Hilary shook her head the tears still falling "only one of them" her lower lip trembled as she tried to stop herself from crying even more
"Kai." Renaldo didn't even need to ask the question as he placed a comforting am around her shoulders "what affect has it had?"
"I won't know until morning when he wakes up, if he wakes up" Hilary stared at Brady and shook her head "I know you didn't do it on purpose but…." she couldn't find the words to talk to him right now, her sorrow had caught up to her anger and sobbing she turned and buried her head in Renaldo's chest.
"Ok Hilly" he gently rubbed her back "It'll be OK"
They all knew he was lying, that it wouldn't be OK but somehow the lie made them both feel slightly better.
Brady looked at his niece and felt a huge pang of guilt, he knew how she was feeling right now. The life of the one she loved was in danger and she could do nothing about it. He understood, he knew that feeling, he felt it everyday. Everyday he was away from his wife and child, everyday they were in the clutches of his heartless unscrupulous father.
"They better still be safe" Brady hissed moving away from the others so that he couldn't be heard "I swear if I'm doing all this and you've hurt them, I'll kill you!"
There was no answer, he never got one but he knew he had been heard, he knew thy were listening after all they were always listening.
--
Slipping into Kai's room Hilary immediately felt scared, he didn't look like he was breathing. Walking up to the bed she looked at the machines, all readings seemed normal now but she still placed her hand in front of his mouth to convince herself that he was still breathing. She sighed with relief, he was.
Hilary sat by Kai's bed and cried, tears falling down her face and dripping unchecked onto the white sheets Kai lay under. He hadn't moved since the fitting and Hilary had to again hold a hand in front of his face occasionally in order to convince herself he was still breathing. Slowly leaning forward in her chair she took his hand, and rested her forehead on it.
"Please, please wake up!" she whispered the cold scientific side of her knowing that merely willing him was no real help, but the desperate and caring side of her knew that she would call his name just hoping for a response until she had no reason to call anymore, even then there was no guarantee she'd give up hope.
"I'm so sorry" Brady stood in the doorway looking doleful "I messed up again"
"Yeah" Hilary was in no mood to talk to him and she resolutely kept her voice hard as she raised her head "you really messed up this time. God 'messed up' sounds so immature and small, its not a big enough word to use."
"I know, sorry seems kind of pointless to. We can't use the EMP on him now" Brady placed a hand on her shoulder "there is no way he'd survive it, he'll be to weak"
"NO" Hilary jumped up sending the chair flying "Kai isn't weak, don't ever say that, I don't care that you mean medically, but you are never, NEVER to call him weak"
"But there's no way"
"He will decide that, it is his decision and his decision alone, it could be that he prefers to ensure that his body can never be studied by the evil and twisted men that did this to him"
Brady winced as she said this and Hilary realised what she had said and immediately felt bad
"Oh God Brady, I didn't mean"
"I know" he looked defeated as he looked at the still body on the bed "he means a lot to you huh?"
"He's a good friend"
"And you owe him your life"
"Many times over" Hilary looked down at him clenching her fists as she remembered all the times the bluenette had saved her
"I'm going to get back to the lab" Brady turned to leave "Hilary?"
"Yeah?"
"You do know I'm right and that now we can't even think about using the EMP like you suggested, his body is so wea…." He stopped and corrected himself "his body is so exhausted he would never survive it"
"I know you think that" Hilary nodded and then smiled "but this is Kai, he can survive pretty much anything, please just leave me with him for a while"
Brady nodded and left, after the door closed Hilary looked at Kai, once again despite the machines confirmation that everything was fine she was gripped with fear over how still he was, she leaned forward and placed a hand in front of his mouth. Feeling his warm breath she smiled and settled herself in the chair by his bed, she wasn't tired but she rested her head anyway, she wasn't sure when she'd be getting any sleep again and she might as well try to get some now.

Max rolled onto his side, there was an uncomfortable crick in his neck and he felt really stiff. Stretching and trying to rid himself of the annoying pain he felt his hand hit something soft...looking left he smiled. Millie was sleeping soundly beside him, he studied the girls face and was surprised, she was pretty but there was something sad about her face as she slept almost as tough she was dreaming about something unpleasant. He lay staring at her watching as she moved and slowly dreamily opened her eyes.
Still drowsy Millie shifted comfortably, she felt so rested, so comfortable, her eyes fluttered open and stared right into a pair of bright cerulean eyes…..
"Oh no" Millie whispered as she shot up into a sitting position "Um… I….um" she was muttering unintelligibly, Max smiled she was cute when she was flustered.
"Good morning to you too!" Max stretched and looked up at her "You slept for quite a while"
"What time is it?" she looked around surprised to see that the sky outside was a bright blue
"About eight" Max sat up and looked at the clock behind him "Oh seven, fifty five actually"
"What?" Millie looked at the clock amazed "is that totally accurate?"
"I think so" Max shrugged curious but enjoying how close their heads were, as she whipped her head back around her hair brushed against his cheek smelling beautifully of jasmine "why do you ask?"
"Well that would mean that I slept for seven hours"
"About seven and a half actually" Max corrected, he cocked his head to one side curiously "is that a big deal?"
"I have never in all the time I can remember slept for more than five hours in a night" she smiled shyly at him "I can't even begin to remember the last time I slept that long!"
"Really….?." Max was about to say more when they heard one of his team-mates bedroom doors open, immediately both of them lay down and pulled the covers over themselves feigning sleep. Neither of them were entirely sure if why they had done this but both remained still keeping their breathing even making sure they seemed sound asleep.
"Are they awake yet?" It was Emily, Max could feel someone leaning over the back of the sofa staring at them
"Nah both still dead to the world" Michael was the one leaning over them, Max could feel himself getting annoyed at his team mate but strangely enough for once the urge to punch the guy in the face wasn't there! He just pretended to shift slightly as though he had been disturbed by Michaels' leaning over him, immediately he heard him move back. As he moved again he felt Millie stiffen, he was wondering why when he realised that in moving he had placed his arm around her. The blonde immediately wanted to move back but knew that if he did it would be obvious he was still awake. So tightening his hold to reassure her, he remained still, one arm around the pretty blonde.
Millie had almost had a mini heart attack when Max placed his arm across her stomach and left it there, after a few seconds his hold on her tightened and slowly her breathing seemed to steady itself. She concentrated on keeping her breathing steady instead of how strong Max's arm felt and how good he smelled.
"Hey let them sleep" Rick closed his door behind him while at the same time Eddy could be heard leaving his room
"Yeah come on lets go practice" Eddy whispered considerately trying not to wake the sleeping 'couple'. "We can come back to get Max later"
"Good plan" Rick agreed ushering them all out of the room, they all murmured agreement and left the room, Rick was the last out of the room and as he left he turned back.
"You two can stop pretending to be asleep now!" his voice was low so that only they could hear him he sounded very amused
The door slammed shut and Millie groaned covering her eyes with her hands "Oh God this couldn't get more embarrassing."
Max just grinned, he was willing to bet Rick was the only one who had known they weren't asleep and as far as he was concerned Rick was like Ray and Kai the big brothers he, had never had. He could trust Rick not to make a big deal out of this. Then he realised that Millie really was upset by all this, he looked across at her.
"Millie?" she didn't answer, Max pushed himself up and looked down at her "Millie look at me."
'Ha! So not gonna happen' she thought as she kept her hands over her face refusing to look at him. Max sighed and sitting up properly tried to move her hands from her face
"Please Millie. Look at me!" the pleading note in his voice seemed to do the trick and slowly Millie removed her hands and looked up at him she was actually blushing as she stared at him, Max had never seen anything so cute in all his life and was thinking about telling her so when a noise came from his bedroom
"Robin!" Millie shot up and jumped over the back of the couch before racing to Max's room. Max sighed as he watched her go, it was odd how shy she seemed around him. He wondered if maybe it was because she was embarrassed by what had happened with Kendall. In no time at all Millie came out of Max's room carrying the little boy in her arms
"I better take him back to Hiro and Arelam" Millie wanted to get out of the room quickly, she could practically feel her face burning up and turning red as she avoided Max's gaze. She could not remember the last time she felt this embarrassed, Rick knew they had been pretending to be asleep and he was bound to wonder why. "See you around!"
"Ok" unable to think of anything to say Max regretfully watched her go, he was aware of a feeling of loss. It was odd but he really didn't want her to leave the room. After the door shut behind her he sat down again thinking about it, she was pretty, very pretty! Even when she was upset she was pretty, she was one of those girls that looked even lovelier when she was upset and he wouldn't mind being the one who got to comfort her every time. And why hadn't he woken her up? Or got up when he awoke that morning? Why had he chosen to lie there pondering what she was dreaming watching her innocent smiling face as she…..?
"Ohhhh! Stupid Stupid Stupid!"
Max buried his head in his hands, now he got it! He liked her. That was why he no longer wanted to kill Michael, that was why he no longer thought that much about Emily. Damn it, last night he had, had the perfect opportunity to kiss her and he hadn't taken it. God he was such an idiot!
--
When Kai finally awoke his vision was blurry but he was able to make out figures standing around him and was surprised to find his bed surrounded by people. He tried to push himself up but found his arms were too weak to push himself up. He growled angrily as someone placed a hand on one of his shoulders.
"It's ok mate" Spencer placed his hand on his friends other shoulder "just stay where you are for now!"
"Spence?" Kai screwed up his eyes trying to make out his friends features. "What's going on?"
Kai was still unable to see people clearly but he heard Bryan as he whispered "Tala wake Hilary"
"No need" a familiar voice came from further away than the others and soon another figure joined the ones around the bed, Kai could make out Hilary's brown hair and as his vision cleared her stunning ruby eyes stared into his own
"I'm not dead yet then?"
"Not yet" Hilary whispered smiling at him "but you came pretty damn close"
"What did I do this time?"
Hilary looked at the others before receiving affirming nods, taking a deep breath she began to speak "Kai last night a nurse administered the wrong dosage of a certain solution to you"
Kai felt his whole body turn cold as he asked "Rooksen?"
"Yeah"
Kai stared at the wall across from him, he felt defeated, weak, and so tired. "I know that's bad but what does it mean to me exactly?"
Hilary paused they needed to do some tests to really confirm it but remembering the way he had squinted when he first looked at her she knew the answer "You couldn't see us when you woke up could you?"
Kai looked back at her taking in her pale frightened face and gazing into her beautiful ruby eyes, she was right he hadn't been able to see her. For a split second he considered lying, he wondered if maybe he ought to pretend for Hilary's sake that…. No! He shook his head he couldn't do that, he had to be honest with them "No, I couldn't see you properly, is that important?"
"It means that you almost definitely advanced into stage three during the night" Hilary told him.
"Right" Kai returned his gaze to the wall opposite, he had been waiting for this, they had all been waiting for this but none of them had expected it to happen so soon.
None of his team mates seemed able to look him in the eye, never before had Kai felt so low. Spencer finally looked up and gave him a half smile, "Kai you always have to be difficult don't you?"
"Only when it suits him" Bryan said both he and Ian finally meeting Kai's gaze, Tala was the only one who kept staring at the floor as though it was as intricately painted as the ceiling of the Sistine chapel.
Giving up on Tala Kai shrugged "Stage three huh? I guess it had to happen sometime. Hilary…"
"Yes Kai?"
"Can you just let me talk to the guys for a second?"
"Sure" Hilary felt a little hurt but refused to show it as she started to make her way to the door "just call if you need anything."
As soon as she was gone Kai started to talk but was silenced by Tala, still looking at the floor Tala told him "If you're going to have the EMP we all are."
"Tala there is still a chance that they might find you a cure but there's no time left…."
"Tala's right" Spencer nodded unhappily "if you're gonna be subjected to the EMP then we all are"
"Yeah" Ian agreed "we're a team we're doing this together"
"Guys this isn't like clubbing, which I never did with you anyway, or backing each other up in a fight, this is life or death."
"We know that Kai" Bryan told him "we're not dumb, well Spencer is…."
"Hey!"
"…but we want to do this together."
Kai stared at them and could see that they meant it, they really wanted to do this as a team (god they could be stupidly stubborn) "No, I'm your captain, I say…"
"Sorry Kai, but you've been outvoted on this one" Tala kept his gaze down, he didn't even try to look at Kai as he continued "we do this together."
Kai gave up, he knew that tone of voice and there was no arguing with Tala in his current mood
"Fine then! Spence go get Renaldo, Bryan call the blade breakers they deserve to know what's going on, Ian go back to the hotel and pack up our stuf, we may not need it againf" the three team mates nodded and dashed off to obey their captains orders. "Tala you had better get Hilary in here"
Tala nodded and went to the door, there was a short and muffled conversation and finally Hilary walked in looking confused
"What does Tala mean? You're going to insist on having the treatment?" Hilary looked at him completely bewildered, she didn't quite understand what was going on. "we haven't run any tests yet, we don't know anything about..."
"Hilary you told me yourself that when we reach stage three we don't know how much time we have. I want to end this on my own terms"
"Well tough, I won't allow it" Hilary felt more than a little hypocritical as she yelled this but suddenly the realisation that she was losing him had hit home and she was angry "You just, you just can't!"
"Hilary you always have to do this don't you?"
"Do what?"
"Tell me what to do, boss me around! I sometimes think you only want me to live so you can do that."
"What do you mean?" Hilary asked sounding offended
"I mean you only want me to live so you can continue bossing me around, what gives you the right to tell any of us what to do?"
"I...I'm just trying to help you" she stared wide eyed at the bluenette as he sneered over at her.
"Well we don't need the help of an annoying, bossy, stuck up, opinionated, self centred girl"
"Bossy and opinionated? Well I'm sorry for trying to help you all, and let me tell you Kai that I may be bossy but at least I'm some disdainful bigoted creep of a guy who can't even show his feelings"
"Feelings?" Kai asked smirking "I can't believe you're harping on about those, Hilary get it through your thick head…."
Hilary didn't stick around to hear anymore, eyes brimming with unshed tears she turned away and ran from the room. Tala who had watched the whole interchange amazed
"Ok…. What the hell was all that about?" Tala stared disbelievingly at his captain "Kai you just really upset her! After all these weeks of helping us now she's left here thinking that you're some cold-hearted, conceited…." the redhead trailed off "Oh my god, you did that on purpose."
"It's nothing you'd understand" Kai coldly turned to face his team-mate
Whatever Kai might think Tala understood everything, he knew his friend too well "Do you really think that's going to help her?"
"I don't see why not." Kai glared at his friend for a moment before sighing and turning to stare out the window "Look Tala if I die tomorrow I don't want to cause her unnecessary sorrow. This way she's angry at me, she's annoyed and that will soon erase any of the good thoughts she has of me"
"You just have to be so fucking honourable don't you?" Tala spat out angrily "She LOVES YOU!! And ok you were mean for a few moments that won't erase all her memories of good times she shared with you. She's just gonna remember that you fought and if you die she'll be upset about that forever. Tomorrow you could die we all could die, we all know that!"
"So?"
"So, so? You have a chance to actually experience feelings instead of just repressing them."
"Stop lecturing me, I did the only thing I could think of to do and it's a bit late for that now isn't it?" Kai was calm as he sat on his bed slowly leaning back against the headboard and lifting his legs onto the bed.
"You know what Kai, I hope you do die tomorrow." Tala opened the door and started to walk through "but then again if you do die I'm not sure we'll be able to tell the difference, you'll be cold and stiff then as well" still there was no reaction from the stoic captain "you'll probably be better company when you're dead as well"
Tala slammed the door behind him immediately regretting his harsh words but not wanting to take them back right now. He would apologise to Kai before they got treated.
"Tala!" the redhead turned to find Renaldo headed for him running top speed down the corridor
"Hey Renaldo did Spencer find you?" Renaldo had grabbed the handle on Kai's door
"He was looking for me?" Renaldo paused before entering Kai's room "Why?"
"We've decided to go ahead with the EMP treatment"
"Really why woul…. Never mind that, I need to find Hilary and I need to find her now. I with all the fuss last night I totally forgot to tell her… look is she in there?" he indicted towards Kai's door
"No, why?"
"She's in danger, last night that guy that attacked you… what was his name?"
"Kendall?"
"That's it! Kendall and his team tried to kidnap Millie thinking she was Hilary"
"How could you mistake Millie for Hilary?"
"Oh that's what you're worrying about? Someone attempts to kidnap Hilary and you immediately think that?" Renaldo asked breaking himself off from his urgent business to be sarcastic
"Well it is an odd mistake to make"
"I know but…. Stop interrupting me I need to find Hilary!"
"Well she stormed out of here just a few moments ago, she and Kai had a fight."
"Do you know where she went?"
"No"
"Then I need to send someone to find her she could be in great danger, do you have her number?"
"Yes"
"Then call her I'll send out some men"
"Hey wait" Tala had a thought "She might have gone to see Tia, she often goes there to vent her feelings."
"OK you go see her I'll see if Millie or Kenny can hack into some system and track her phone, that's if she has it with her" Renaldo turned and ran off
"Right" Tala pulled out his cell phone and headed t out of the building before realising what he was doing "Wait me go see Tia?" Tala groaned, getting into one of the cars outside he muttered "to the hospital please" in the most disconsolate voice he had.
--
"Finally! I thought you……hey! What are you doing here?" Tia looked up to find Tala walking through the door looking sheepish, she glared at him
Tala didn't look any happier to be there than she was to see him "Hilary disappeared on us, I was hoping she'd be here"
"Why did she disappear?" Tia could tell that something was wrong "Is everything alright, you know considering…."
"Considering the fact that we're all dying?"
"Yeah" Tia gritted her teeth and nodded feeling stupid "you know what forget I asked. Just tell me what's going on with Hils, is she in any danger?"
"Actually she could be" Tala admitted, Tia gave him a questioning look so he explained what had happened. Tia grew visibly more angry as he told her about it.
"He said that to her?"
"Yep"
"And then you yelled at him?"
"Yeah"
"Well personally I think you did the right thing" Tia grinned but didn't really look any happier, from the look of it she was planning to have a talk with Kai at some point.
"You don't understand" Tala scratched his head "he loves her, he thinks he's protecting her."
"What an idiot"
"Tia you don't understand, he doesn't know how to deal with feelings, none of us do really. It's easier to push people away than to keep them close, that way we don't hurt them and they can't betray us."
"That's a very cynical view to have" despite what she said Tia could sympathise with the redhead and his team mates, they may never get hurt but they also never knew real happiness. "I guess I'm not the best person to talk about this but… sometimes we need to be hurt and betrayed. It helps us to become who we are."
"But if you never get hurt…."
"Everyone gets hurt and humans are social beings we need closeness and love. One day when he's better Kai will realise that and luckily for him Hilary will still be around, she loves him too much to give up on him."
"Really?" Tala sounded amused so Tia sent him a glare
"Yeah but don't tell him that"
"I won't but I feel kinda bad about it all, I said some pretty unforgivable stuff…." Tala trailed off feeling strange talking to Tia about all this.
Tia could tell that Tala needed comforting, she was nervous, she wasn't good at this sort of thing. Usually she would step back and allow someone else to do the comforting but unfortunately she was the only one there. "I'm sure that whatever you said can't be as bad as…."
"I told him that I hope he did die but that again if he did I wasn't sure we'd be able to tell the difference. I also said that he'd probably be better company when he was dead as well"
"Well that was….harsh!"
"Yeah"
"You ought to go back and talk to him"
"I know but I'm having trouble even looking at him"
"You probably just hate to see him so weak"
"That's not the reason, I know its selfish but…. Seeing him like that just reminds me that I could be there soon, knocking at deaths door waiting for him to answer."
Tia could never remain serious for long so she said blithely "Well it's like I always say, Don't knock at deaths door, ring the doorbell and run away, he hates that!"
Tala turned an incredulous look on his face and gazed into her eyes, she was biting her lip, he felt that he shouldn't be sitting having fun while Kai was so ill but couldn't help it, the two of them burst out laughing.
"That's a really dumb joke!"
"Told by a dumb person to a dumb person so it's ok! Tala go back, talk to Kai, you need to make amends before something happens and you're too late."
"Yeah thanks Tia"
"Don't worry about it and if Hilary shows up I'll tell her what Renaldo said but I'm being discharged today so she probably won't come."
"You're leaving hospital? Is your leg well enough?"
"No but I can't stand it here, I still have to have physiotherapy but I can get Hilary or my cousin Jerome to drive me back for that. I just hope Hilary's OK."
Tala felt bad that instead of continuing to search for Hilary he had stayed here to talk with Tia "Do you have any idea where she could have gone to?"
"None, sorry"
When he went Tala left behind a very concerned girl lying in the hospital bed. Tia was more worried about her friend than she had chosen to let Tala see, when Hilary was upset she would often not think clearly and rush into dangerous situations without thinking.
"Please be alright Hilary" she whispered "I need you just as much as they do."
--
Hilary drove carefully through the streets, what Kai had said really upset her and she was angry. This was all her grandfathers fault, he had lied to her for years, pretended to be a good and kind granfather but in reality he was a monster.
She wanted revenge, she wanted to make sure he knew just what she thought of him and she wanted to make sure he could never hurt anyone again.
She arrived at her destination, a large house owned by Tatibana Inc. She knew who would be inside and she knew exactly what she wanted to say.
At the gate she got out of the car and walked up the long driveway, she was nervous as hell, her palms were sweaty and her heart was pounding. At the doorway she exhaled and before she could rthink twice about what she was doing she rang the doorbell.
Ok Millie is a little like Hinata Hyugga here (from Naruto for those of you who don't know) but she always was going to be very shy.
Who has worked out whats going on?
And who has Hilary gone to visit, looks like another cliffhangr guys I swear I'l be back ASAP!
R&R
