More reviews!!!! Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone was sitting in silence in the waiting room. They were all tired, but no one would sleep till they knew Kai was alright. He had been in surgery for two hours now. They had all been checked over, cuts bandaged, bruises rubbed with ointment, painkillers given. None of them had anything serious, just scratches and knocks from the rough treatment they had received when they were kidnapped.
Mr. Dickenson was talking to a couple of policemen that had wanted to talk to the teens. He persuaded them to come back tomorrow.
"Is there any news?" he asked as he returned to the low spirited group.
They shook their heads in answer. Two doctors ran passed in the direction of the operating theatre, their urgency obvious.
"I say, what's happening?" asked Mr. Dickenson, a question on everyone's mind.
"A complication has just occurred in surgery, we are on our way to help" one of the men paused long enough to say. Looking at the worried faces he added "we will let you know what's happened as soon as we can.
Everyone was now really worried, what was going on in there? Those who had stood up when they saw the doctors sat back down. Kenny and Hilary tried reading the leaflets and posters on the walls. It was unsuccessful as they couldn't concentrate, so they sat down with the others.
"Don't worry homies; i'm sure the little dude will be just fine. He'll be back to his sour faced self in no time!" said Tyson's grandfather, trying to lift the mood in the room. It worked slightly as the corners of some mouths turned up. But it was only a slight change. Done more to be polite then anything else.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the operating theatre table, the still form of a two toned blue haired boy lay, slowly losing what little strength he had left. His heart slowed down, dropping dangerously low. Surgeons and doctors swarmed round him, trying everything they could think of to bring the slow beat of life back up.
Something happened in Kai's unconscious mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kai floated in a sea of darkness, surrounded by still waters that enveloped him in a warm embrace. He could feel himself slip away, but did nothing about it, he wasn't sure he could anymore. He just couldn't keep fighting to stay alive. Then he felt something tug at him. He opened his eyes, looking out into the dark blue waters. A pair of blue eyes stared back.
"Tori?"
"I'm here Kai" she answered back, she sounded so distant, "you need to go back."
"I cant, i'm so tired, I can't keep going."
"You can and must!"
She began to materialise, starting from the eyes. Her red hair wafted slightly in a non existent current, her blue eyes full of laughter, her nose lightly dusted with freckles. She looked older to Kai, about the same age he was now.
"I misses you Tori, I never meant to hurt you, to take your life away. You meant so much to me and you still do."
"I know, I have never blamed you Kai, I know it wasn't your fault." A warm smile lit up her face. It was the smile that had kept Kai going when things got tough at the abbey.
"How could I have forgotten you? You were such a big part of my life. You were like my soul mate."
"I and Dranzer made you forget Kai; we couldn't let you stay in so much emotional pain. It was better you forget everything; we would let you remember when you could handle it. But your suppressed memories were too strong, and they escaped in your dreams. We didn't want you to remember that way, to because you pain, i'm sorry."
Kai found this funny, he laughed as he floated there. "How did we get round to you being sorry for all this! Like you said to me, it wasn't your fault."
"Thank you Kai, that makes me feel better, more then you could imagine. But you need to go back, people need you there. You need to live your life."
"What about your life Tori? That was cut so short."
"Yes, but now I live inside of you, we are soul mates remember? I will always be there in your heart. I will always be there for you. I'm closer to you now then I was when I was alive. If you need me, I'll be there; you will see me in your dreams."
"I don't think I have the strength to go back Tori, I can feel it all slip away."
"We are here to help; we will give you the strength you need for everything."
"Thank you, always and forever."
"I know."
Tori pushed herself towards Kai; her outstretched arms wrapped themselves round him. Kai seemed to feel bright, warm, red wings surround them both, cocooning them in an embrace. A flash of white light came from deep inside the cocoon formed.
Kai could hear voices, listening to the panicked tones lacing the apparent calm and professional tones. It was because of him. He could feel his body convulse as his heart beat full force once again. He could hear the voices again, shocked and relieved. He smiled inwardly and slipped back into unconsciousness, the kind he would wake back up from.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The team jumped as the theatre doors swung open. They watched as Kai was wheeled out in a hospital bed, attached to tubes, bags and machines of all sorts. Doctors walked beside the bed, making sure nothing became dislodged. A surgeon walked up to the group.
"Your friend is going to be ok, but he will need plenty, and I mean plenty, of rest."
"Thanks doctor, but what happened in there?" asked Ray, the rest of them nodded, all wanting to know the same.
The blue gowned man sighed before answering. "We almost lost him in there, his heart stopped beating. We got it going again pretty quickly so no damage was done from that. The stab wound at his side was deep and we had to fix up a lot of internal damage from it. He lost a lot of blood too, if left, he wouldn't have lasted long. He is very lucky to have survived; I don't know how he did it."
"Kai's a very strong person doc, he never gives up" said Ray to the man.
"I agree with that, although he almost did give up on us back there. He's going to make it, but he's going to have some impressive scars to match his old ones."
"His old scars?" asked Max.
"Yes, didn't you know? He seemed to have had a very deep wound caused by a sharp implement. It's on his abdomen, on the right. It's where his appendix would roughly be. The work done to fix it was poor; it's left some nasty scar tissue that runs deep. There was nothing we could do to fix that, but it doesn't seem to bother him. He has scars on his legs, his feet, his hands, his neck, and on his chest and back. Most are small, but it looks like he had some pretty bad experiences."
"Yeah, he did. What we know we are going to tell the police. Kai would never have told anyone, that's the way he is. Can we go see him?" replied Ray.
"Sure you can, I'll take you to his room. Because it looks like the wounds were inflicted by another with harmful intent, we've put him in a secure ward room. He's got the room to himself so you can visit anytime, I'll get passes for you."
"Thank you, we all appreciate that." Said Mr. Dickenson.
"Is there any others who will need passes? Family?"
"No, no one else. His family are who started all this" answered Ray quietly.
"I won't ask, the police will give us a full report when they come to categorise his injuries. It sounds like a painful subject, so I won't make you repeat it."
The team nodded in understanding.
Kenny looked up to the doctor, "if you don't mind me asking, what are Kai's injuries?"
"Of course I don't mind, I should have told you straight away! You already know about the stab wound in is left side, but he also has some first degree burns on his feet and ankles, another knife wound on his left thigh, three broken ribs on his left side, the top of his left arm has a knife wound as well, his wrists are very bruised, as is his stomach. He also has two head wounds, one near his temple, and another at the back of his head. Both from blows. He also has what appear to be, though i've never seen them in my history working as a doctor, whip wounds on his back. Five on his lower back, one reaching from his left shoulder to his right hip. They are quite deep, and will make sleeping on his back very uncomfortable. We've put him on his back for now so that his body weight will put pressure on the wounds, to prevent them from bleeding again. Ah, here we are!"
The others were so engrossed in what the doctor was saying they hadn't been watching where he was leading them. He had led them down a corridor, lined with guards. He stopped outside one of the doors. He told the guard standing there the members with him were always welcome, and to make sure that was enforced. The guard nodded in reply.
They all entered the room, greeted with the image of Kai lying on the bed, covered in bandages and attached to so may tubes. They had never seen their team captain look so vulnerable.
