are all so NICE! Okay here is the next chapter. . .
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Chapter 6
Kali ran until she reached the hot spring. She sat down near the cave and wiped the tears off her face. It had started to rain again, making Kali more depressed. After a few minutes of sitting, Kali got up and began to run again. She ran until she reached the top of Mother's Hill, where she could see the whole village. She walked around until she found a small cave, where she put her backpack down. (Yeah, I know there isn't a cave on the top of the hill, but I put it there. SO THERE!)
"I can probably have some alone-time up here. Nobody would want to look for me anyway," Kali said to herself and pulled out the jacket. She placed it over her legs, which were starting to get very cold.
*I should have brought more up here with me. I guess it's colder because I'm higher up. I hope I don't get sick.* Kali thought and looked outside. The rain was already stopping, so she went out to look over at the view. It was getting too dark to see anything. Kali looked at the watch on her arm and gasped.
*No wonder it's so dark! It's almost 1am!* Kali walked into the cave, curled up like a ball, and covered herself with the jacket. Then she fell asleep.
Kali woke up around 10am. She ate the whole loaf of raisin bread and threw it up immediately after.
"Oh Goddess, I feel horrible," Kali said out loud. "I can't stay here if I'm sick." She started to hike back down the hill, but stopped near the flower patch.
*I feel so dizzy. Maybe I should have just stayed home and pouted in the boat instead of hiding up here.* Kali thought to herself and placed a hand to her head. *Maybe I should sit down.* Kali sank down onto the soft earth slowly, so she wouldn't make herself any dizzier than she already was. *I wonder if they even noticed that I'm gone. I wonder if they care* Kali thought and drifted off into a restless sleep.
~MEANWHILE AT THE BEACH~
"Kai, I can't believe you did that to her! Now she's GONE," Popuri wailed at Kai. He flinched and put his hands over his ears and head. His hangover was especially bad; it reminded him of what he had done to his sister the night before. And now she was missing.
"Take it easy, Popuri, Kali will turn up soon enough. The police are looking for her as we speak," Ann said and pulled her away from Kai, who shot her a grateful look. He walked onto the dock, ignoring the protests from his angry head.
*Kali, wherever you are, please come back. I am so sorry.* Kai pleaded in his thoughts. A warm hand dropped on his shoulder.
"Don't beat yourself up over it, Kai. You know she'll come back," Cliff said from behind Kai. "She probably just needed to clear her head."
"Yeah. I guess so. I just can't believe I did that to her. Have you seen Gray yet?"
Cliff shook his head. "No. He stayed in his room since Kali left last night. He didn't even come down to breakfast."
Kai tightened the hand by his side into a fist. "I can't believe I ruined both their lives. I am not drinking again for a long time." Cliff lead Kai back onto the sand.
"They'll find her, Kai. I know they will."
Kai smiled. "Thank you, Cliff. You're a real friend." Cliff smiled and patted Kai on the back.
"Now go inside and eat! We don't want you getting sick and passing out, now do we?" Cliff said and pushed Kai into the lodge. "Come back when you've eaten!" Cliff yelled to him with a grin. Kai sighed. There was nothing left to do but wait.
~BACK ON MOTHER'S HILL~
Kali moaned in her sleep. Her fever was starting to go down, but not by much. She rolled over, awake, and picked a flower.
*It smells nice. Just like the one Gray got me.* Kali's thoughts stopped right then.
"Oh Gray, I am so sorry," Kali whispered as tears ran down her cheeks. " I can't believe this has gotten put on your shoulders."
"It's okay. I am sorry too." Kali turned her head in surprise. Gray was standing right behind her. "Here, sit up and drink this. You'll need to lose that fever before I can get you back down the hill." Gray helped her sit up and gave her some water. After she had drank the whole thing, Gray took the cup back and gave her a cracker.
"Kali? What Kai said last night, is it really true?" Gray whispered, his eyes covered by his hat. Kali stopped chewing and blushed.
"Yeah. It is true." She took a deep breath and let it out. Gray didn't move.
"Gray? Say something," Kali said and pushed her hair back. Gray looked up slowly and smiled.
"Good. I feel the same way," Gray said and started to lean in closer. Just as their lips were about to meet, a voice called out over the forest.
"Kali? Kali are you there?" Kali pulled back, surprised. "Kali, if you are there, please answer!" Gray pulled his hat over his face to cover his blushing.
"I'll tell them you're here," Gray mumbled and walked away. Kali nodded subconsciously.
*See,* The first voice in Kali's head started, *You love him. Plain and simple.*
"You're right. I do," Kali said and leaned back. Harris and the Doctor came running over to her.
"Kali, are you sick? Are you hurt?" The Doctor asked her.
"I'm sick," Kali answered warily. The Doctor and Harris exchanged a glance.
"Gray! We're going to need you to help us get Kali down the hill," Harris shouted. Gray appeared from behind some trees.
"What do you need?" He asked carefully.
"We're going to need you to carry her," The Doctor said and shrugged. " I am going to make sure none of her food was poisoned." Gray shrugged.
"Okay." He gathered Kali up in his strong arms and stood up. She attempted to smile up at him, but it was a weak smile. She leaned against his body and fell asleep.
