Dreams of a Cat and a Wolf
Chapter 37: Home
Trini hooked two monitors up to Billy. One was to monitor his brainwaves, the other was to monitor his heart. Within five minutes, Billy had fell into a deep sleep in hopes of finding out why his angel refused to wake up.
~*~*~*
Billy saw himself surrounded by haziness.
"Kat!" he called.
"Billy!" she answered. He followed her voice and found her in the same clearing where they had met so many times before.
"Kat, what's going on? You've been asleep for almost 24 hours and we can't get you to wake up," Billy said, with concern overwhelming his tone.
"I know Billy, I've tried waking up, but I can't. I don't know why, but something is keeping me here and it's scaring me," Kat said, as she snuggled close to him. Billy wrapped her in his arms and rubbed her back soothingly. Suddenly, a very unwelcome voice interrupted them.
"I bet you're wondering why you can't wake up, aren't you dear Katherine?" Vile said, as he appeared before them.
"What the hell?! You can't actually be here, we control the dream void!" Billy yelled.
"Sorry blue ranger, but you are wrong. I have put Katherine under another sleeping spell and therefore, I can control this little void while she is under my power," Vile said.
"And what the hell do you expect to gain?" Billy demanded.
"This..." Vile said, as dark, transparent tendrils extended from his hand. They flew into Billy chest and went for his heart. Billy clutched his chest in pain and fell to his knees.
Shine- lake of fire
Lines take me higher
My mind drips desire
Confined and overtired
"Billy! What have you done!?" Kat demanded.
"I control this void, therefore, I have the power to kill him in here," Vile replied.
Living this charade
Is getting me nowhere
I can't shake this charade
The city's cold blood calls me home
Home It's what I long for
Back home where I belong
~*~*~*
suddenly, Billy's heart monitor flat lined.
"What the...Trini! Billy's flat lining!" Kim exclaimed.
"What?! Get Adam in here!" she told Aisha.
Adam rushed in and saw that his best friend was flat lining.
"I need your help Adam," she said. Knowing what to do, Adam ripped Billy's shirt open and pounded his chest hard. He jerked, but the line remained flat. Adam began pumping his heart in hopes that the line would come to life again.
The city- it calls to me
Decadent scenes from my memory
Sorrow- eternity
My demons are coming to drown me
Help- I'm falling,
I'm crawling
I can't keep away from its clutch
Can't have it, this habit
It's calling me back to my home
"Come on bro, you can't die on me now," Adam told his best friend.
~*~*~*
Kat concentrated and closed her eyes. She fed him some of her energy in hopes to stop Vile's attacks. Vile knew she would do this and he knew it would drain her. The next time he attacked Billy, she would not be able to save him.
Living this charade
Is getting me nowhere
I can't shake this charade
The city's cold blood calls me home
Home It's what I long for
Back home where I belong
"You have saved him this time Katherine, but he shall die next time," Vile said, as he disappeared.
~*~*~*
Suddenly, just as Trini began to lose hope for him, the line came to life and once again was beating normally.
"Thank goodness," she sighed with relief.
~*~*~*
Kat, you've been weakened," Billy said, as he helped her sit down.
"I know, but I'm glad that you're okay," she replied.
"I am, but you won't be able to do that next time. Which means I have to find out how to break Vile's hold on the dream void before I fall asleep next time," Billy said.
"I know that you'll find someway to free me. You always do," she told him with confidence for him shining in her eyes.
"I love you Kat," he told her.
"I love you too Billy. Be careful my wolf," she said, as things became hazy around them. He drew her into a searing kiss before he disappeared from that plane.
~*~*~*
Billy slowly opened his eyes and saw a concerned Trini, Adam, and Aisha surrounding him.
"You scared the hell out of us man," Adam said.
"What happened in there? You flat lined and Adam had to pump your chest," Trini said.
"Vile has control of the dream void, that's why Kat can't wake up," Billy stated.
"What?! How is that possible?" Adam asked.
"To tell you the truth, I'm not exactly sure. But he appeared and these dark tendrils extended from his fingers. They went straight into my chest and wrapped themselves around my heart. Kat used her life energy to save me, but it drained her and she won't be able to do it again. This means that I have to figure out how to break Vile's hold on the dream void before I go to sleep next time, otherwise I might not wake up," Billy explained. Aisha sat deep in thought. Something about what he had said sparked an idea.
"Billy, something you said intrigued me," Aisha spoke.
"What's that?" Billy asked, eagerly seeking any help whatsoever.
"Well, from what you have told us about the dream void, I understand it to be just a space. Sort of two-dimensional almost," Aisha said.
"Right, I suppose in a way it is two-dimensional," Billy agreed and nodded for her to continue.
"Well, two-dimensional things are always simpler than three-dimensional. The black tendrils you mentioned can only be a representation of hate in the dream void. And what fights hate?" Aisha asked him.
"Love," he answered.
"Exactly," she replied simply.
"So you are saying that Kat and I can fight him using that same kind of representation in the form of love?" Billy asked.
"I think so," she replied.
"Of course! With our combined power, we can break his hold on the dream void, thus allowing Kat to wake up! Do you think it could work?" Billy asked.
"Let's just say, I've never seen a couple quite as unique as you and Kat. I think it will be more than enough," she replied.
"Thanks Aisha. And the same goes for you and Rocky though. He can be a blockhead, but he loves you very much," Billy told her, as he rushed off to make preparations. His words made Aisha blush.
"I can't believe him! He nearly dies and now he's off running amuck to God knows where five minutes later!" Trini exclaimed. Adam winced at Trini's stern voice. Who knew that such a peaceful, quiet person like Trini could get so worked up. Then again, the person she was getting worked up about was one of her oldest and dearest friends.
"You know Billy, he'll be fine," Adam reassured her. She sighed in defeat.
"You're probably right. But while you are here Adam, come take a look at this reading I am getting on Kat," Trini said, as she led him to the monitor.
"That's weird, her energy signature is fluctuating. But that only happens usually when someone is fighting, why would it happen when she's asleep?" Adam wondered.
"I'm not sure; will you help me run some tests?" Trini asked.
"I don't know if that will be necessary," Adam said, as his fingers began to fly over the keyboard. He was running a number of deeper scans on her body and soon something was coming clear.
"Look at that," Adam said in a matter of fact tone.
"I don't believe it," Trini said, shaking her head.
"Her energy isn't really fluctuating," Adam began.
"There's two energies," Trini put in.
"Mother and baby," Adam finished.
"Are you saying that Kat's pregnant?!" Aisha, who had been quiet for the last few moments, exclaimed.
"Yep," Trini said.
"Should we congratulate the father now, or wait till the mother wakes up?" Adam asked.
"You can congratulate them, while I ring their necks," Trini said.
"Aw come on Trini, cut em some slack," Aisha said.
"They are way too young to have a child," she replied.
"Yeah, but what's done is done. And I have a feeling that neither is going to be unhappy about this," Adam said.
"I suppose you're right, but we should wait. If Vile finds out, who knows what he'll do," Trini said.
"I think you're right about that," Aisha replied.
AN: Cliffhanger! No, I'm not really that mean. Chapter 38 is right around the corner, so review and get onto the next chapter! Thankies!
