Title: Infernal Destiny
By: Morgan

Disclaimer: Saban owns all PR characters and things. All I own is the stuff I make up myself. Please, oh, please don't sue me. I'm not making any money off this fanfic or any of the others I have written.

Distribution: Anywhere as long as you ask me first and the I get to check the place out.

Rating: A hard R for violence, sexual situations, and language. This fic also contains abuse so if that upsets you bail out now. Thanks.

Dedications: This chapter goes out to Didi because I love her series "New Start." It rules! And I guess to Jessi too cause she's cool and she looks like she could be my sister. No joke.

My Notes: This chapter takes place the day after the last one. Thank you to all the people who have reviewed this fanfic. I appreciate it a whole lot. Thank for being so patient with me as well! I know, I know...it took me FOREVER to update this. I hope it is worth the wait though. I am hoping to get chapters out to my others that are not finished too very soon. I know it will not be before or during this weekend though, because I will be out of town (Yet again! I have had to go to New Mexico every weekend for the past couple months). Again, I'm so sorry for the loooong wait! There will also be a couple new fics I will put out after those are finished. I don't want to pile the fics on again because it gets really hard to keep track of all of them. Thanks. ~Morgan~

Angel Grove, Ca

Kim walked down the long hospital corridor lost in her own thoughts. She had never intended for Tommy and his family to get hurt because of her. And now look at them... Thomas had a concussion, Jan had bruises all over her legs and arms and they both had emotional scarring without a doubt. All because of her. And Tommy, poor Tommy, had three broken ribs, a concussion, sixteen stitches in the gash on his forehead up by his hairline, so many bruises that she had lost count, and lacerations all over his body. He was so sore that he could barely move and had to stay up all night because of his head injury along with his father. Kim had to admit, the two of them kept her entertained, slurring over their words and saying stupid things from their lack of sleep. Kim had insisted on staying up with them, knowing that sleep would not have come to her anyway. She was sort of used to staying up at night by now anyhow.

She stopped by one of the desks and asked for directions when she figured out that she couldn't find the coke and snack machines. She smiled to herself as she thought about how Tommy would have walked the whole hospital to avoid asking for help. He was stubborn that way.

"Excuse me Miss, could you tell me where the coke machines are? I'm a little lost..."

Kim gave her a confused look as the lady stared at her with an expression of surprise lighting her face. Then Kim realized she probably looked like a zombie with her injuries and the lack of sleep she had had the night before.

"Um, they are around the corner and to the right. Just go past the elevators and you should see them in a little room down there." She gave her a warm smile.

"Thanks." Kim gave her a small smile and continued on her journey.

She found them soon enough and for the first time wondered how she was going to carry all the junk she was buying back to the room her and Tommy shared. She got three Sprites for herself, Jan, and Tommy and sat them beside the machine on the ground. She got a coke for Thomas and then bought a couple bags of chips for the four of them.

She had asked her mother if she had wanted anything, but she had quietly declined. She seemed to be taken the whole ordeal the worst out of everybody. But, how could she not? Her husband had done this...and she hadn't even seen it coming.

Since she was wearing a big T-shirt, Kim just piled them all in there, making her shirt a kind of basket, and went quickly back to their room.

Angel Grove Memorial Hospital
Sunday, April 22, 2000 12:57 P.M.
Angel Grove, Ca

A figure in the dark sneaked past an ambulance and the EMT's as he made his way to the hospital's sliding tinted doors. He was wearing a pair of casual jeans and a T-shirt so he wouldn't stand out too much. He had dyed his naturally dark hair blonde and was wearing disguising blue contact lenses. He didn't want to get caught again. He had learned his lesson the first time, but so had the cops that had tried to take him in to the police station. He couldn't wait to hear about someone finding their bodies on the news tomorrow. He had worked so hard to take over the squad car and punish them.

He walked inside the hospital and made a sharp right. Walking over to the main desk that stood there, he felt his jacket pocket and was actually grateful that the metal detectors were turned off.

"Hello, how can I help you today Sir?"

"I need to find out what my sister's room number is. I had it written down but I misplaced the piece of paper somehow..."

"Okay, that's no problem. What's her name?"

"Kimberly. Kimberly Hart."

*****

"So, what are we going to do when we get out of here?"

"I don't know Handsome, maybe spend a couple weeks up on a mountain some where, away from everything," Kim retorted as she pulled her shirt over her head and walked out of the small bathroom.

"That sounds nice. I'm sure that could be arranged too..." Kim smiled and walked into his out stretched arms. She stood on her tippy toes and gave him a kiss and then hugged him, gently as to not stir up pain in his torso again.

They let each other go as a nosy nurse walked by, peering into their room.

"Hey Tommy, do you know if my Mom called my dad yet?" Kimberly towel dried her hair and sat down in a chair by the window. The parents had gone to the cafeteria for lunch since they hadn't eaten much all day. They had also wanted to give the two time to talk.

"I don't know Beautiful, but I'm sure she did." Tommy noticed her fallen expression and knew what it was about.

"All right." She turned and stared out the window, watching the cars pass by on the highway. Tommy sighed and watched her for a couple minutes, gathering his thoughts.

"Kim, I'm sure he's on a plane to Angel Grove right now."

"Maybe. It's just that every time I tried to get a hold of him since he got remarried it's like he didn't really have too much time for me anymore, you know?"

She discarded the brush on the windowsill and plopped down on a small hospital bed. Tommy crawled across the bed and lightly kissed the side of her neck. He wrapped his arms around her and just listened.

"I know this makes me sound like a spoiled brat, but would it have hurt him to pick up the phone and call me every now and then? I know that it isn't all his fault that we lost contact, but he's the adult. He never even tried to get a hold of me...I guess what Pierre said was right. I was just a pain and he didn't want to bother with me anymore."

Tommy didn't know what to say. He never knew Kim felt like that. Honestly, she couldn't think that was true could she? It was almost too ridiculous to ponder.

"...Kim, you know that's not true. Your dad loves you, no matter how often or little he calls. How could he not? You are a wonderful person, Beautiful. Don't let what Pierre said bother you. He's crazy Kim, and he only said that to hurt you. Why can't you see that? Why can't you see that this isn't your fault?"

Kim just kept looking forward, Tommy's words sinking in.

Tommy argued in his head about whether or not he should say this next thing or not. He decided that he should. The faster he got it out in the open, the sooner she could work through her problems.

"Kim, I don't think it's your father that you are mad at. I think it's your Mom...She wasn't there to protect you, was she?"

*****

Pierre found the room soon enough, and he walked right in through the open door. Reaching into his jacket, he pulled the gun out he had stashed there. Tommy and Kim didn't know what was coming. Pierre didn't even give them time to react. He aimed it right for Tommy's head and then...

::BANG:: ::BANG::

*****

Kimberly shot up in her bed, sweat rolling down the side of her face and her entire body shaking. Tommy was out of bed and by her side in an instant, wincing from the pain that shot throughout his own body. He stroked her hair and tried to reassure her of her fears.

"Shh, Beautiful. It was just a dream...It was just a dream..."

Okay, so what did you guys think? I'm a little rusty and I had to reread the entire fic all over again just to remember what I was writing about so many months ago! I know that was terribly short, but I'll try to make it longer next time. Once again, I'm sorry it took so long to get this one out. I'm not making any promises about when the next chapter will be out next time. I'm going to go work on the next chapter to "Rumor Has It." It'll probably be out some time next week. R&R please! Thanks. ~Morgan~
