Ice Screamed
Chapter 2- So cold
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What Mrs. Robin was Ryou in a corner, as white as a sheet. "Oh my god Ryou!" She said. "Why are you here? Where are your parents?" All Ryou could mumble was, "So cold."
Ryou was as near to a human popsicle as you could get. There was ice in his hair, he was dripping wet.
Mrs. Robin grabbed him by the shoulders. "Ryou, where are your parents?" She said slowly.
"So cold..."
About an hour later the police came, and questioned Mrs. Robin, seeing they couldn't get anything out of Ryou.
" Mrs. Robin, when did you find Ryou?"
"Around eight P.M. I don't know how long he has been here..."
The police followed the footsteps through the woods by Ryou's house. The forest led to the frozen over lake by his house.
There they found a giant hole in the ice, not in the lake it's self, but in the canal. Where the ice was it's thinnest.
"It happens every year," one officer said. "Some idiot thinks he should test drive his new snow mobile too early or too late in the season, most of them white folks." He laughed lightly.
"How thick is the ice on the canal right now?" The other officer asked.
"It's thick enough to hold us, but not a Dodge like the one they were driving at the time."
"So what happened here?"
"Well, I guess they must have went off of the road and drove onto the canal. Ryou must have escaped from the car and walked to the house."
"You're telling me that Ryou escaped from the car, rolled out into the tick ice and walked though the woods, dripping wet at this temperature? God, no wonder he's cold."
Amane came rushing into the house only about 25 minutes after the police arrived. Ryou was still sitting in a corner. She hugged him. "Ryou, what happened?"
"So cold..." he muttered.
"Cold? What do you mean cold? Where's mom and dad?" Amane said, a hint of panic in her voice.
They took Ryou to the hospital, where he still wouldn't talk, or even eat. Amane still seemed to be in shock about her parents death. They made Ryou talk to a psychologist, but it was like talking to a disconnected phone. But my sister thought she knew a lot about disconnected phones.
Isis, my sister, thinking she has a solution for EVERYTHING,
told be what she thought I should do.
" Dogs can only talk to dogs and kids can only talk to kids," She said at dinner.
"What the hell does that mean?" I asked.
"It MEANS the only kind of people who can fix kids are kids, that's why you have to go to the hospital tomorrow."
"Sorry, Bakura and I are going to the movies tomorrow."
"You go to the hospital. The hospital is on the way to the theater. No hospital, no movie."
I sigh, she was the one driving us to the movies the next day. "Fine." I say in a "If-I-have-to" kind of way.
We met at the hospital. "I don't even like him. And least YOU like him!" Bakura said as we wandered the halls, looking for Ryou's room.
I said nothing, deep in thought.
"I don't like this place. My uncle had to get an operation here and the smell made me sick," he complained and we walked towards Ryou's room. He whining annoyed me. "Hey, shut up," I snapped at him
We got to the room. "There it is, room 403," I said. We opened the door to his hospital room.
Ryou didn't look all that better. He looked skinny and cold. As soon as Ryou got to the hospital he wouldn't eat. The doctors hadn't been able to get a crumb into him. He was sitting up right on his hospital bed, staring at the wall. "Hey," I say, trying to talk to him as if everything was normal. "It's Bakura and me, you know, from school."
"Hey Ryou," Bakura said weakly.
No response.
"Well, we tried," Bakura said. "Let's get out of here, the movie starts in twenty minutes." I stood my ground. "He looks like he's deep in thought," I began, looking at Ryou. "I think I know what he's thinking about. What do you think?"
Bakura looked annoyed. "I don't know, the Flintstones? Come on, let's just go."
I didn't move. "You look cold," I said to Ryou.
Ryou turned to be with seemingly smoked filled eyes.
"Not anymore." he said to me.
