Hades Kerbecs's owner

Chapter 3 : The woman with blue hair

( Internal POV : Damian )

I can't see anything... but I manage to hear some noises and feel carried, installed on the back seats of a car, my head is a little shaken, I open my eyes a little, it's a car .. A car with red seats, there are two people with it. I think one of them is waving and the other is talking.

- Go home ? Sure, that wouldn't be bad, but the clothes for him haven't fit him for a while, they're baby clothes. He will have to order other clothes, I only have pajamas and the necessary clothes for the camp.

What are they talking about ?... Who are these people? Where is he taking me?

I have a headache, I want to get out of this car.

- Ah, he's waking up... Damian, keep sleeping. You need to rest. Said a woman's voice to me, does she know my first name ?

- I... I have to get out... I... I try to say as I feel like I'm drooling and my throat is going up.

- Oh no please don't vomit in the car. She panics stopping the car, she helps me out of the car and I start throwing up a lot of drool, my stomach hurts but it's empty so nothing comes out, just my drool.

- It's disgusting help... I'm crying, I feel someone caressing my back.

- Come on, it doesn't matter. It's because of the morphine you have in your body, it's your body rejecting it. She explains to me, I want to ask her who she is, my vision blurs but I can see that she looks a bit like me, her face is very familiar to me, I lose my balance and she grabs me.

- Slowly slowly. It's okay, you're safe now. We're almost there, just be patient. She says to me, I feel her carrying me in her arms to put me back in the car and then they get back on the road. My body is much too heavy, I close my eyes.

- We have arrived. I hear, I open my eyes again and I see an isolated piece of land a few minutes from town.

A man gets out of the car, a man who looks like me too. I know him, he went to the HD academy several times, Doctor Ziggourat made a lot of appointments with him. He comes to take me in his arms to take me to this place, everything is calm. I know that they take me to a bathroom to wash myself then they put me in my pajamas to place me in a very warm bed.

- What will happen to me ? I ask to the lady, I'm feel a little tired, the other man has already left the room, she comes to sit on the edge of the bed and she strokes my hair.

- For now, you will have to rest a little for at least 3 months. With your injury, you won't be able to follow the physical program I'm going to have to put you through, you have to heal. On the other hand, we would make you do more intellectual things.

- Won't it be science experiments ? I ask worried, I'm sleepy a lot, his caresses on my head are so nice and he reminds me of something... When I was in HD academy, I suffered from insomnia and sleepwalking almost every night, I don't only slept 4 hours, see 3 and sometimes I wandered in the corridors, until the day when I went into a basement and I saw this big luminous machine, half-open and there had a figure inside. It was very pleasant in this room, I was so exhausted that I collapsed against the machine, and I felt a hand stroking my hair.

It had calmed me so much that I came back every night with my pillow, my blanket and even a small mattress where I usually sleep when I go on vacation with Jack to get this little mark of attention, and the insomnia was disappearing.

- No, the only experiments there will be to check your heart rate, how your organs are doing, but also to remove the harmful effects of improvement, they must not remain in your body. She explains to me.

- But, I don't want to play Beyblade anymore... I hurt too much and now I have the powers of Hades Kerbecs in my head. I set the city on fire and I killed so many innocent people... Why did you help me? I have tears flowing, I hear her sigh as she comes to wipe my eyes with her thumb.

- Come on don't cry, you're not a baby anymore and you don't have to cry for something that isn't your fault. Hadès Kerbecs is an extremely dangerous spinning top for a blader who is not supposed to own it. His words sound strange.

How does she know Kerbecs so well ?

- Well, you better get some sleep. It's late, in a few hours the nurse will come by to change your bandage. You have a pimple on the corner of your bed, if you need anything, if you want a little something to eat or something to drink, don't hesitate to ask okay ? She tells me before allowing herself to place a kiss on my forehead and then she leaves the room. I'm sure I've seen this woman before somewhere... But I'm so tired that I fall asleep a few minutes later.

( no point of view )

The blue-haired lady comes out of Damian's room, she stole Hades Kerbecs from him by taking off his jumpsuit, she looks at her. Her powers kicks out and she finds herself in the hell of Hades. The storm is brewing and there he is, the great Cerberus with his purple fur, his three menacing heads, his big claws and his serpent's tail. She sketches a smile in front of the six big red eyes and she reaches out her hand.

- It's been a long time, you and me, hasn't it ? You've been doing just as well since the time we were apart. Kerbecs growls, sniffing her hand.

- Sat ! She suddenly orders and Hades Kerbecs sits under her will, she sketches a smile while patting her left paw, the hell of hades dissolves to become again the corridor of this strange place, Hades Kerbecs is in possession of this mysterious woman, she looks out the window to see the first rays of sunshine outside.

- Good day Mrs. Greet a nurse with her first aid kit ; Should I go and change the new kid's bandage now ?

- Yes, but if you could be careful not to wake him up. He is very tired and he needs to take care of himself. asks the blue haired woman, accompanying the nurse to Damian Hart's room, he seems to be still sound asleep, sleeping on his side, the blue haired woman comes to rest on the corner of the bed and puts her hand on Damian's forehead which seems a little warm, his breathing is very heavy which makes him snore slightly, the woman comes to lay him on his back without waking him up, then she gently lifts his t-shirt to expose his stomach covered with a red-stained bandage. The nurse opens her kit, and takes a pair of scissors to cut the bandage, exposing the raw wound.

- Ohh I see, they didn't sew it up, his wound is going to heal with wicks. Well, maybe it will be better that way. Said the nurse softly.

With small pliers, she gently removes the lock that has become gelatinous because of all the soaked blood, then she gently disinfects. Damian moans softly then the woman with blue hair comes to approach Damian to reassure him with a few small caresses on the level of the head.

- The nerves aren't awake yet, he shouldn't be bothered by the pain of the healing, however it seems that his fever is quite high...

- Because of Hades Kerbecs... The woman suddenly declares, stroking Damian's hair ; the refinement has bound its powers to Damian's soul, and his soul tries to reject this power, but it clings like a bandage to a wound. If his fever rises again, it will be very dangerous. Do you think it's possible to make him an extraction of powers ?

- An extraction of powers ? Suddenly exclaims the shocked nurse, immediately the blue-haired woman puts her hand in front of her mouth to silence her. Luckily, Damian didn't wake up.

- I know that his condition doesn't allow it yet, but I am very worried for him, I am afraid that Hades Kerbecs will draw too much on his strength. You would have to do an extraction of 10 seconds maximum, that would remove enough to bring his temperature back to normal.

The nurse is not very convinced but she helps the woman to carry Damian to a room where there is a very strange machine, consisting of a white bed with an oxygen mask and patches, Damian is placed on the bed. He starts moaning, he could wake up at any moment. The nurse puts the patches on Damian's chest then puts the oxygen mask on him.

- I turn on the machine, it will take 10 seconds. Recalls the woman with blue hair, suddenly she hears something that makes her shiver.

- Mommy... Mommy... It's Damian moaning in his sleep, he can't stop shaking.

- Mrs. Hart...? Are you doing well ? Maybe we can postpone it until tomorrow... Suggests the nurse, but this Mrs Hart didn't hear it the same way, she approaches Damian to caress his left cheek.

- Shhhhh... Take it easy. Nothing is happening, it's all just a dream. Keep your eyes closed, count to ten and tomorrow morning you'll see it was just a dream. She blows him by placing a kiss on his cheek then gives the order to activate the machine.

Damian groans as he leans against the blue-haired lady who is holding him against her.

- 10 ! She counts, then the machine turns off. Damian slowly calms down.

- Perfect, his fever is already starting to drop. We can take him back to his bed. She concludes, the nurse looks at her with a different eye. She dares to ask the question.

- Mrs. Hart... Did you tell him you were his mother ? Mrs. Hart frowns softly, continuing to stroke Damian's soft hair. She lets out a grunt.

- I am no longer worthy of being his mother for a long time. The baby I carried in my womb 15 years ago, I know it's him. Damian is the name I gave him when I first held and fed him. I could recognize the softness of his skin, his hair and the gleam in his eyes among a thousand copies of him. He looks a lot like his father. But now I can't afford to wear that title anymore.

- Mrs... It was more than 13 years ago, you shouldn't blame yourself for that... Try to reassure the nurse.

- It doesn't change the fact... I don't want you to tell him. The most important thing is that he recovers and does this program. We will have to support him as much as possible. Tomorrow, if he has enough energy, we will make him do an exercise. Mrs. Hart concludes by helping the nurse to bring Damian back to his room.

What they didn't know... was that Damian had heard everything.

( Internal POV : Damian )

I couldn't go on sleeping after everything I heard. Could this woman be my mother ? And she wouldn't want her staff to tell me about it. But why ?

- Why won't she tell me ? I wonder, stretching a little, but I wince in pain when I feel my wound stretching a little at the same time as me, the pain is not strong, but it's there, my room is particularly quiet, there's even a painkiller that was dropped on my nightstand with a tall glass of water. I hear noise on the other side, people walking, doors opening with the noises that can be found in a gym. I have to go see that, I take the medicine and quietly leave my room, I see a very large white hallway with a door on the left where all the noise comes from.

I open the door to discover beyond glass platforms, a large gym where several faces that I recognize from the HD academy are there, practicing Beyblade.

But what is going on here ? I see my so-called mother helping these bladers to train like animals, behaving like a real professional, even a little tyrannical on the edges.

She is too cool.

Suddenly, I feel a hand on my shoulder, I turn to see a tall man with blue hair. I recognize him, he's the one who was in the car with my... My mother.

Enjoy your reading and your summer ^^ Kisses
