--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sound of humming brought her back into consciousness. She opened her eyes, and winced at how bright the room was. To her right was a window. She stared out of it for a moment. It was mid-day, but cloudly and snowing. She watched the big thick flakes fall down and hit the window.
Suddenly the humming stopped. "Oh, you're awake." A Russian accented voice said.
She turned to her left to see Tala sitting on a chair, with a book in his hand. He had a small bandage on his left cheek.
"That was a beautiful song." Hilary smiled.
The Russian nodded in agreement. "Kai used to sing it when he was very young."
"Kai? Oh my gosh! Kai! Where is he? Where is everyone? Are they alright!?" Hilary exclaimed, trying to sit up in her bed.
Tala rushed over to her and forced her back down. "Shhh...calm down. Tyson and the others are being treated for some minor burns and smoke inhilation."
Hilary started to get a headache. "What about Kai?"
Tala looked away from her for a moment, not sure how to explain the news to her.
"I....I'm not sure. I don't know where he is. He was taken into the emergency room, but they won't tell us anything, or let us see him."
Hilary gasped. She was glad the others were alright, but she was really concerned about Kai.
"Why are you here with me then?" She finally asked.
"Kai told me to watch over you."
"Wha......How? You just said...."
Tala pointed to his head. "He sent me a telopatic message. Kai and I can communicate unconsciously, but it takes alot of energy."
"Huh? How is that possible?" Hilary couldn't believe her ears.
"It's kindof like what you were doing back at the abbey. Your thoughts formed with Kai's and that helped pull him out of that trance. You also sent me a message once, remember?"
Hilary thought back to the time where she and the BladeBreakers were trapped in that cell, and Tala came out of now where and freed them.
"I did that?"
Tala smiled and nodded. "It's one of your powers as a perfect human."
"Can you do that too? What are your powers?"
"Yes, but my other powers only appear when I'm really angry or near death, so I haven't fully experienced mine yet."
"Wow." Hilary let out a tired sigh and laid her head back on her pillow taking everything in.
Suddenly, a nurse came in carrying a tray. She asked Tala something in Russian, and then gasped when she saw Hilary awake.
"Oh I'm so happy you wake up!" The nurse said with a thick accent. She sat the tray down on the stand next to Hilary's bed and proceded to check the bandages around her head.
"I'm going to go see if the others are out yet." Tala said walking toward the door.
"Bye Tala, and thank you."
Tala nodded and exited.
"Well, it looks like the bleeding has nearly stopped. That was a nasty gash, we all thought that you might slip into a coma or have memory loss!"
"I think I'm ok now." Hilary was beginning to feel a little uncomfortable now.
"Here, take these. They will help numb the pain. Now get some rest."
Hilary nodded as the nurse left the room. Downing the pills with the little cup of water, she nestled back into her bed, which was surprisingly comfortable and drifted off into sleep.
Tala dodged another strecher that was rushing down the hall. Doctors and nurses were running all over the place, tending to people lying on strechers in the hallways and in rooms.
As Tala turned the corner to the waiting room, he bumped into Rei.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't see you." The chinese blader appologized.
Tala smirked, nodded and took a seat. Rei joined him.
"I just got out here, what's with all the commotion?"
"I guess they're bringing all the people that were injured from the abbey here." Tala said, looking up at the TV in the opposite corner of the room.
The TV was showing pictures of the abbey burning. Tala could only smile.
"So how's Hilary doing? Have you heard of Kai?" Rei asked.
"Hilary just woke up not to long ago. She's going to be fine, but Kai.....they won't tell me anything. How are the others?"
"They're doing great. We had to wait a while to get treated, but none of us are really injured." Rei replied.
"Tala! Rei!" They heard a voice call over the noise. It was Tyson and Max!
"Hey! Are you guys alright?!" Rei called back.
The two teammates made their way past the traffic and met up with their friends.
"How are Hilary and Kai?" Tyson asked.
"Hilary should be fine, but we don't know about Kai...." Rei replied.
"Boys! I'm so glad to see that your alright!" Another voice called out.
"We've been looking all over for you!" A young whiney voice added.
"Mr. Dickinson! Kenny!" The BladeBreakers exclaimed.
The elderly man and the young teen joined Rei, Tyson, Max and Tala.
"Sorry we didn't meet up with you sooner, but I was talking to a doctor about Kai." Mr. Dickinson said, sitting down on a chair. He let out an exhausted sigh.
Rei, Max and Tyson all immediatly began to ask questions.
"Settle down boys." He sighed again. "From what I could gather, Kai was going into surgery. His wounds are very severe and the doctors aren't quite sure what's exactly wrong with him. They hope they can find out soon, or he might never wake up!"
"Oh man...." Tyson said. Everyone stared at the floor.
The BladeBreakers and Tala continued to wait. Hours went by, and the commotion throughout the hospital eventually slowed down.
Tala sat quietly in his chair, his arms crossed against his chest, and his eyes closed. "Kai? Can you hear me?" He thought silently. "Come on Kai...."
"Tal.....Tala?"
Tala grinned slightly. "Can you hear me my friend?"
"Barely.....how....how is Hil..ary?" Kai's voice was barely audible in Tala's head.
"She'll be fine. She just needs some rest. How are you holding up?"
Kai took a while to reply. "I...don't know.....I can't wake up, my body....is frozen.....I....can barely hear the people around me.....where am I?"
"You're in the hospital. We are all waiting for you."
Tala could feel Kai starting to panic. He hated hospitals, he had been in them all too often.
"Calm down. Save your energy my friend." Tala said solemly, but the link was broken before he could finish. Kai had ran out of energy.
Tala sighed sadly and opened his eyes.
"Hey! Earth to Tala! Did you hear me?" Tyson said. He was standing right in front of the Russian beyblader.
"Huh? Sorry, I wasn't paying attention."
"I asked if you wanted any food. Max and I are going down to the vending machines."
"No...I'm fine." Tala replied.
"...alright." Tyson eyed him suspiciously and turned and walked down the hall with Max.
