(Fortuna's POV)
There was an urgent knock at the door. I ran to it, wondering what the hell was going on. I may only be nine, but I know when someone wants to see someone badly. I opened the door. A man I had seen before only a few times stood there.
"Hello. Who are you?" He asked, looking confused.
"I'm Fortuna. Who are you?"
"I'm Benny, I really need to talk to Jamie, is she around?"
"Yeah, she's in the kitchen. MUM! A guy named Benny is at the door!!"
Mum came out, followed closely by dad. When she saw Benny, she paled a little, I knew she wanted to know right away what was going on.
"Benny, what's wrong? You look like someone ran over your dog."
"It's even worse than that. It's Ria."
(Jamie's POV)
"Ria? WHat's happened to her?" asked Frodo in alarm.
"There was a fight. Two men, I will not say who, it will only panic you further. THey grabbed Ria and Kane..."
And he was off, telling us what had happened. Fortuna, Brodie, Todd, Vince and the triplets all cowered a little when they heard that Ria was in hospital.
"Hospital!?" I said and tears began to roll down my cheeks. My baby, my precious baby was in hospital. I acted quickly, even in ten years, my instincts of fear had not dulled. I felt like I was taking care of Emma again. I ran into the kitchen where Araorn and Arwen were. I told them about it and asked them to look after the twins and Lucky. Benny asked if I could bring Vince, as Damon had asked for him.
We rushed to the hospital and to the emergancy ward. Kane was sitting on the hard waiting room seats, crying. Vince ran over to him and gave him a hug. Doctor Elliot came out of the theatre. He looked grim.
"Jamie. Thank goodness you're here. Ria has cut her head open on a rock and we've put stitches in. But she will have to stay overnight."
I nodded, to affraid to speak. Frodo held my arm. "Can we see her?" he asked, his voice trembling a little. Elliot nodded.
As Ria was wheeled into a spare room, I began to cry, hard, cracked panicky tears. She was still under anesthetic so she was asleep.
I turned a tear stained face towards Damon, who had come in and, forgetting our hatred for a each other for a few minutes, he pulled me into a hug. He let go quickly, as did I.
"Tell me, Damon, Please. Who were those two men who did this to our children?"
Damon sighed as a frown crossed over his face. He looked at Benny. And Benny nodded.
"Gimli Dwarf and Randal Hockey."
It took a few moments for it to sink in. Kane was sitting next to Ria, stroking her hand as if trying to wake her up. He started crying again. I think I fainted.
