Home Chapter 8

Samara woke to a soft touch. She opened her eyes and looked up eyes, filled with concern. It was the doctor, "Samara?" "Hmm?" "How do you feel?" "Sick." "How so?" "Nauseated, and sore." "Do you remember anything?" "Yes I do", Samara tried to sit up but notice she was again strapped down, but the doctor unstrapped her. "She sat up and told the doctor almost everything; she didn't mention the dark king, or the energy blast, just the beating, and the injection, then being injected again and told that her friends were going to kidnapped. "So it was Shenon. Shenon is an illegal drug, that is very dangerous, and can lead to death. We didn't want to tell you at first cause we wanted to be sure, and we didn't want to scared you." "Ya well I wouldn't have ran the first time, if you had just told me." "Hmm. Well now you know, we must keep you here, because, by the looks of it, Shenon hasn't taken it's toll. And what is that exactly?" "Fever, mainly, and one or two more things but that depends on the person." "Hmm" Samara suddenly, felt a strong wave of nausea come over her, that she place her head in her hands and moaned. The doctor layed her down. "Why the ivy?" Samara asked suddenly. "Shenon dehydrates the person." Samara yelped, cause of a sharp pain, in her side. "Shh", the doctor took her temperature and it was 105.3 degrees, "And here it is" the doctor said. Her gave Samara some Tylenol, and a shot for the fever then another shot to put her to sleep. I hate shot, if I get another I'm going to hurt someone, thought Samara

The doctor called in Ms. Zumo, Darien, Raye, Amy, Lita, Serena and Amy, then told that what was going on. "Its best that you all walk in groups, stay in crowds and have alarm systems." The doctor had heard about when they were all kidnapped and that this wasn't first time Samara was given Shenon by Lorden, her father. They nodded and were about to leave when another doctor came in, "Excuse me, but you should see this." The doctor left and went into the observation room and the doctor pointed to Samara temperature, 106.2. "That the highest temperature we've had with Shenon." The doctor left, told the girls, Ms. Zumo and Darien to leave and then went to check on Samara. He felt her skin, which was hot, then he place a cold wet cloth, behind her neck and on her forehead. Only two hours later, the doctor ran into the room cause of Samara's scream. "Samara was is it?" "Raye! She was taken!" "Shh relax, relax." Samara started crying, "Raye..." Then the doctor was told that Ms. Zumo was on the phone. He came back and told Samara that yes Raye was taken. Raye was with the other girl had been walking home from school on a empty street when a car came up the started running when Raye fell and Lorden pulled Raye into the car and drove off. He looked down at Samara, who was crying on her side, and shaking. He left. Samara was there for 5 more days, when her temperature finally went down to 99.2, she was too weak to sit up on her own but she lifted up the bed into that position.

"How do you feel?" Darien asked. "Better, anything on Raye?" "No." "Mina is next, is she being careful?" "Yes the school is watching all of the girls, and most of all Mina." "The school?" "Yes the always have an escort with them." "Good" "When will you be getting out of here?" "A few more day. I can't wait, I want to see my friends and go home, and to school, if you can believe that." "Yes I do." "Good." Darien kissed her softly on the forehead. Samara bite her lower lip, her whole body hurt and the slightest touch, hurt enough to scream, but she didn't want to tell that to Darien. The Shenon made her extra extra extra sensitive to everything, the touch, injections, the ivy, the blankets, the pillow, her clothes, everything. She couldn't wait to go home, but the doctor said that she might be sensitive for days to weeks maybe even months. She slept most of that day. The next day her fever was gone, 98.5. "You can go home tomorrow" the doctor said. "Thank goodness, if I died it would have been from boredom." the doctor chuckled. Samara had done nothing but sleep and think. She walked around the room, thinking about what to say in school, and stuff and thought about how the apartment looked like, and about Darien. She sat down on her bed and bite her lower lip to stop a yelp. She barely touch her own skin and couldn't help but cry out. The doctor ran in, "You ok?" "Yes, I touch my own skin, so softly and it hurt so much!" "Maybe we should keep you here a few day more?" "No! I want to home, no offense or anything, its just there are a lot of bad memorized here." "I understand" he left.

It was time to go home, and Samara's mother had brought the soft black pants and the black wool sweater that she bought from Tessi's Fashion, being the softest thing she had. She dress in a bathroom, ever so slowly. She came out and a nurse lead her to a room, where Darien, Ms. Zumo and the doctor were waiting. Samara gave a smile and walked to her mother and hugged her, her mother knowing her daughter was sensitive to the touch barely touch her daughter but returned the hug, "Mama, hug me please, hold me" tears rolled down Samara's face, her mother held her daughter, Samara held back the scream she knew would come. They let go and they sat down, Samara softly, rubbed the tears away. The doctor retold about Samara's sensitivity, and that it could last, day to weeks to months, it depended on the person. And they talked about the alert system that was in the apartment and the escort at the school. They left the hoisptal and they climb into Darien's car. Were Stardust was in the backseat. They rode in silent. Samara looked out the window at everything outside. And rubbed Stardust. "Mom are you ok?" "Yes I'm fine, just a bit shook up." "Don't be." "How can I not, knowing your father is out there some where." "Please, trust me, I don't think is will be as bad as you think." "No, your right. Its going to be worst!" Samara just sighed. They made it home and they entered the apartment, "Surprised!! Welcome home!" cried Amy, Mina, Lita and Serena. Samara hugged all of her friend, and held back yelps and scream even, if her friends had barely touched her. "Thank you all! I'm so glad to be home! This place is amazing. It looks different with stuff in it." "Hey we have chocolate cake!!" cried Serena. "You know my favorit!" exclaimed Samara.

They all sat down and talked about school and how crazy it was everyone watching them every second, like they were just going to disappear, and how hard it was to concentrate on school, and how everyone couldn't wait till Samara went back to school. How scared the whole school was. "I mean the school is scared, like they were going to be kidnapped, its so crazy there" said Lita. "I bet, I want some cake, are we allow to cut it yet?" said Samara. "Yes!" laughed Lita. They ate cake and talked some more. It was late and they had to leave cause they had school the next. Thanksgiving was coming up the next week so they only had Thursday, Friday then break. Samara looked around the house, its look beautiful. Her mother lead her to her room which the walls and ceiling was covered with glow in the dark stars, moons and planets. The room was painted a dark purple, the bed have a solar system bed cover. It looked awesome. "Mom it's looks great! Thanks!" She hugged her, and shout out in pain. "Oh I'm sorry dear!" "Its ok mom, my mistake." "Go to sleep, dear you have school tomorrow." "Kay." Samara dress in PJs, and lay down, the whole time, taking it slow and easy. She fell asleep.

5:30am read Samara clock. Samara got up slowly, she was still sore. She took a cool shower then got dress, in, some soft pants and a soft sweater, she grabbed her jacket, then walked down stairs for breakfast. She made some, piggies in a blanket, with eggs and orange juice. She ate, rebrushed her teeth, made her lunch, left a note for her mother, and walked down the hall to Darien's apartment with Stardust. She knocked on the door. "Hello?" came a voice from inside. "Darien it's Samara." Darien opened the door, "Good Morning", he kissed her softly on the lips. "Come in. Want some tea?" "No thanks." Samara sat slowly down on the couch. "Still sensitive?" "Yes. I think its worst, but hey I'm not going back to that hospital." "Understandable. You on your way to school?" "In a little bit, I wanted to say hi." "Well, hi" Darien kissed Samara again, even more softly. "Want a ride?" "No I want to walk." "You sure?" "Yes. I better get going, I don't want to be late." Samara stood and Darien walked her outside and walked with her to the street light. "Be careful." "I will Darien" Samara kissed him this time and walked across the street, before he said anything. Samara walked into the arcade and play a quick game of Sailor V. Andrea came by, and ask how she was and they chatted a bit before Samara had to leave. She walked into the school, which was crowded, Stardust left Samara to meet with Luna and Artimus. Samara walked slowly and moved around, carefully not wanting to be touched, and scream here in school. She made it to the door, with only being touch once, just barely.

She walked in and Class got quiet. She sat behind Serena, "Hey Serena, your early for once." "Ya I wanted to be here for you." Samara smiled, "Thanks." Some girls came up and ask Samara how she was and Samara replied that she was fine, and thanks. The Ms. H came in and asked for silence. She went about as if nothing had happened and Samara was glad. Lita was right, it was hard to concentrate with everyone watching you, thought Samara. Soon Math was over and it was time for History, which she had with Serena, Lita and Mina. They talked for a bit then the teacher told they to be quiet. They made it to lunch, with their escort teacher, the gym teacher which they all had a crush one, he was well built and cute. He talk with them and ate lunch with them. It wasn't as bad as Samara thought. Soon school was over and they met in front of the school and walked to the park so they could talk with the cats. They talked about Raye being missing and went hey thought they might make their next move to get Mina. "They might try it on thanksgiving, they seem to want attention and Thanksgiving would be a good day. I mean all of us and our families are going to have thanksgiving together. They might think it would be the best day" said Mina, the only thing she had said the entire time. They went home. And Samara started doing her homework and the work she had to make up. It was about 11:36 and Samara was still working when the phone rang. Samara got up and answered it, "Hello?" "Samara?" said an upset voice. "Yes?" "Oh, Samara It's Mina's mother, she gone!!" "What!! No!" "Yes I walked in to check on her and she wasn't there!!" Samara could hear her start crying. "Mom!!! Come here quick!!" "What is it?" asked Ms. Zumo who came out of her room, putting on a bathrobe. "Mina is gone!" Samara cried, tears rolled down her face. "What!" "She's gone!" Samara's mother took the phone from Samara who started to shake from nerves. Samara stood there in shock, she shook, and tears rolled down her face. "Yes, yes we will call the other girls, yes, Have you called the police? Good. Ok why don't come over here? Ok you sure? Ok good night." "Samara?" her mother walked up to her daughter, "Samara!?" Her mother said worried. She was afraid to touch Samara. "She can't be gone! She can't! No! Samara fell to the floor, crying, and shaking from nerves. "Samara! Calm down!" her mother yelled. She didn't know want to do. She looked at her daughter then ran out of the room and down to Darien's apartment. Darien and Ms. Zumo came running in. Samara was still on the floor, crying, shaking and coughing. Darien pick her up and carried her to her bedroom. "Can you bring me some wet cloth?" "Yes Darien" Ms. Zumo left the room. Darien smooth Samara's hair, "Samara?" "Samara?" but she wouldn't, all she did, was cry, shake and cough. "Your going to make yourself sick, calm down, please."

Darien placed the cloth behind Samara's neck and on her forehead. Ms. Zumo called the hospital in Tokyo, and they said to get her to calm down, keep her cool, its just nerves, if she doesn't answer you in 2 hours, take her to the hospital she might be in shock. They did want they were told. The rest of the girls where told about Mina. Samara fell asleep. When she woke, she had stop shaking and coughing. "Samara?" "Hmm?" "Are you ok?" Yes mama." "Oh thank goodness you scared me so much." "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." "Its ok. Do you think your up to going to school?" "Yes mama." "OK well go back to sleep I'll wake you up in a few hours." "Ok." Samara closed her eyes. Mina was taken.
