Chapter 8: Closer and Closer
"Tyson…Tyson…"
Tyson jumped as he heard his name from behind the door. He looked at the doctor, wanting an explanation.
"She been calling for you since she awoke. She's very afraid."
The teen nodded and entered the room. Hillary sat in her bed, her head in her hands, shaking and crying.
"Hillary!"
He walked over and embraced her in a gentle hug.
"Shh...it's alright...everything's alright...I'm here now."
"Tyson...I don't want to stay here...please don't leave me here! I want to go Tyson.....please...." She cried.
Suddenly, Tyson understood what she was saying. Even if she didn't remember what happened, this place was reminding her of the laboratories at BioVolt.
"Hillary, I won't leave you. Calm down...I'm here. You're safe now."
She hugged him more and little by little she stopped crying and shaking.
"I want to go home." She whispered.
"Yeah, but it's late. You should stay here for the night..."
"No! Tyson! Please...no...."
"Okay....okay..."
She nodded slightly.
"Why am I here?" She suddenly asked. "I don't remember..."
"There was a storm...." He began carefully. "...and you fainted..."
Hillary shook her head. She seemed very tired.
"I don't understand...why am I so....weak? What happened to me during the last two years Tyson?"
Tyson clenched his hands into fists but tried to stay calm.
"I don't know Hil. I don't know..."
Kai was right, it was better for her not to know....at least not until she was safe at home with him. There, he would tell her....yeah....as soon as she was better.
"A little better I guess." She whispered with a weak smile.
"Well, it's late, you should sleep now." He said.
She nodded as Tyson suddenly noticed that she was shivering.
"Hillary?" He asked, worried.
"Can't you stay...with me? I...I don't want to be alone...please?"
She looked at him in the eyes and Tyson wasn't able to refuse. She looked like so weak, so vulnerable! He wanted to protect her more than ever...he wanted to be able to help her.
He didn't say anything as he climbed in beside her, wrapping his arms around her waist as she rested her head against his chest.
"Thank you Tyson....thank you...for being here...." She murmured as she fell asleep.
Tyson smiled and hugged her tighter before joining her in their dreams. When Hillary awoke, the sun had been up for a few hours. She was still in Tyson's arms but he wasn't sleeping. He was looking at her, smiling.
"Hey...'morning."
"Good morning."
"How do you?" He began.
"Very well." She cut him off. "A good night of sleep helped very much! Well...and having a big teddy bear to sleep on."
"I'm not a teddy bear!" He exclaimed, laughing.
She smiled and shrugged.
"That's a shame! You would be perfect!"
They blushed slightly as the door opened. Kai looked at the both, surprised.
"What were you doing?" He asked.
"Nothing!" They answered in a hurry.
Hillary got up quickly, looking very embarrassed.
"I...we...well...Tyson just stayed with me for the night....I was....still a little..."
"It's alright. None of my business." Kai cut her off. "Breakfast is waiting for you. Hurry up! That bloody traitor's coming soon..."
They nodded and joined the others in the kitchen.
"Good morning guys!"
"Morning Hillary. How are you doing?"
"Fine, thanks." She smiled. "I'm sorry you had to cook breakfast!"
"You know, we been doing it for almost two years now." Kenny said carefully.
"Oh yeah..." She murmured, forcing a smile. "I forgot..."
Suddenly someone knocked at the door, making her jump. She felt Tyson squeeze her hand gently before getting up to answer it.
"Hey guys." Tala said, smiling as he entered in the room. "I'm delighted that you accepted me onto your team!"
"It's temporary." Kai specified, clenching his fists.
"Yeah yeah of course."
The red hair boy glared at Hillary and she immediately felt dizzy.
"Hillary?" Max got up and placed his hand on her shoulder. "You okay?"
She breathed in deeply and nodded.
"Yeah...yeah, I'm fine. I'm going to take a shower now."
"If you need something just call me." Tyson said.
"Alright...." She smiled weakly and disappearing into the bathroom.
"Aw...how cute! All the strong boys taking care of that weird, silly girl..." Tala started
Tyson grabbed him by the collar.
"I'm sure you know what happened to her, and I swear you that if I find even a little bit of proof that you have something to do with it, I'll kill you!" He shouted angrily.
"Worried about your girlfriend?" He smirked. "You're right."
"What to you know?" Kai asked without trying to calm down Tyson.
"To keep her from her past is the worst thing to do if you want to protect her, you know. The less she knows about it, the more danger she'll be in! They will continue to track her, whether she remembers or not."
"Why?'
"How am I suppost to know?"
Tyson threw him on the floor and clenched his teeth.
"Liar!"
"Tyson, please! Calm down." Max intervened. "We have to be a team for now..."
"But..."
"No buts Tyson. Not now." Kenny cut in. "Now, let's start training. We have to know more about Tala's techniques..."
Tyson placed his head in his hands and sighed.
"Yeah...you're right, as always. I'm waiting for Hillary, we'll join you later."
"Alright."
Everyone but Tyson left the dojo not knowing that Tala was still glaring at his worst enemy, one last time.
