Chapter 9: Meeting
Tyson heard shouting and ran to the bathroom, worried.
"Hillary?" He called, knocking at the door. "Are you alright? Hillary?!"
She cried and shouted behind the door, causing Tyson to panic.
"Hillary!"
He entered the bathroom cautiously and found her naked in the shower, her arms around her knees, her eyes dialated, crying and shouting.
He quickly took a towel and dropped it around her shaking body as he pulled her out of the shower and hugged her.
"Hillary, look at me...Hillary!"
It was useless. This was worse than the first time! She didn't seem to hear or see him anymore, and her cries were horribly frightened. She cried and shouted in pain...an unbearable pain.
"Please! Let me die! Please..." She murmured, struggling with an unseen force.
"Hillary...."
Tyson felt tears begin to roll down his cheeks as he tried to find a gleam of clearness in her eyes.
"Hillary! Damn! Hillary look at me! HILLARY!"
She suddenly stopped struggling and looked at him in the eyes, totally confused.
"Tyson?"
She hugged him back while sobbing. She had no clue what had happened, or why she was in his arms.
"I...I..."
"Shh...you really scared me, you know? But it's alright now....don't cry."
She nodded and didn't protest as Tyson picked her off the tiled floor and took her to the living room, laying her down on the sofa.
"oh Lord, I'm naked!" She gasped, terrified. She pulled the towel tighter around her body.
"I...I didn't see anything! I swear! You...you were in the shower and...I just put it on you...before you...well..."
She smiled weakly, blushing a little and closed her eyes.
"I just don't know what to do anymore...I don't understand...what happened? Why? It's like...a punishment! Did I do something bad?" She asked, trying to hide her tears.
"Hillary..."
He sat beside her and hugged her gently.
"You're a wonderful person Hil. Life's just unfair sometimes...very unfair."
He sighed, relief and worried at the same time. Everything seemed to remind her something bad. The truth was that she had surely suffered many tortures for the past 2 years.
They stayed a long moment in each others arms, then Hillary got up in a hurry.
"Oh my, practice! I totally forgot!" She said. "I'll go get dressed!"
"Hillary wait, are you sure you're alright?"
"Yeah..." She smiled. "I'm fine. I just have a tiny headache but it's nothing. Thank you. Sorry to worry you."
She left the room and Tyson shook his head, trying to think clearly. He didn't know what to do and it was horrible to see a friend, especially Hillary, in such pain without be able to help her.
"What are you doing? The others are waiting for you."
Tyson jumped and looked at Kai.
"Sorry...Hillary had another attack." He murmured.
"What? Again? How is she?"
"Rather good I guess...Kai? I'm lost. I don't know what to do! I feel so...powerless..."
"We have to tell her." Kai declared.
"I know but...I can't do that...I just can't!"
Kai sighed.
"I'll do it. I don't want to say it, but Tala's right...she'll be more in danger not knowing about it."
"Yeah...yeah, but...when?"
"This evening. After training. I want to tell the others before."
"Okay."
"Kai!" Hillary exclaimed as she entered in the room. "Oh I'm sorry we're late! Don't blame Tyson! It's all my fault!"
"Don't worry." Kai said, smiling for once. "Just hurry up now!"
"Yes sir!"
She giggled and linked her arms through Tyson's and Kai's.
"I'm ready, let's go!"
The two boys couldn't help but smile. Hillary was doing her best to look happy and it was almost like before...almost like nothing had happened.
"Yeah thanks to Biovolt..." Ray said without hiding his resentment.
Tala blushed a little but didn't say anything until he heard someone call him.
"Tala!"
"Micah! What are you doing here?"
His girlfriend sighed.
"Hey honey, I'm happy to see you too!"
"Sorry..." He murmured, kissing her slightly on the lips. "How are you? Now, what are you doing here?"
"I'm fine but I was fed up staying in your hotel room! Someone told me you were here so...I decided to make a surprise visit!" She replied, looking at him with puppy dog eyes.
She turned around to see 3 boys glaring at her with incomprehension.
"Oh sorry! Hi! I'm Micah, Tala's girlfriend. And you must be the BladeBreakers...or at least a part of them. Nice to meet you!"
"Yeah...nice to meet you too..." Max said, smiling even though he was surprised. "I'm Max and this is Ray and Kenny."
"Hi!" They both said.
Micah smiled.
"I'm very happy to meet you! Everyone talked about you back in Russia! But...where is Kai...and Tyson?"
"With a friend, they're coming soon."
They all stared at each other in silence until Kenny spoke up.
"Well, you want to train some more?"
"Yeah! Good idea!"
"Do you want to join us Micah?" Max asked.
"Oh no!" Tala answered. "Out of the question."
Micah glared at him, looking a bit angry.
"And why not?!"
"Because...she's just a beginner!" He replied, glaring at Max and Ray. "We're at a higher level, it might be dangerous for her!"
"Tala!" She shouted.
"You know it's a bad idea! Please dear...let us do it alone."
She looked hurt but didn't reply. She lowered her eyes, making Tala feel a bit guilty.
"Hmmm...what's going on out here?" Kai asked as he arrived with Hillary and Tyson.
"You're finally here! It's about time!" Kenny exclaimed.
"Sorry...we had a little...problem." Tyson said.
"It's my fault...sorry!"
"No prob!" Max smiled. "Hillary, Kai, Tyson, this is Micah, Tala's Girlfriend."
"Hillary?"
Micah looked up at Tala then at Hillary and forced a smile.
"Nice to meet you! It's great to see a girl around all these guys!"
"Oh...nice to meet you too!" Hillary smiled. "Yeah you're right! I really like them, but it's hard being the only girl!"
"Yeah, I understand! It was the same for me when Tala was still in Russia with his team!"
"Well, just sit and talk about girl things and we'll be able to train." Tyson said with a smile, hiding his worried for Hillary.
Hillary stuck her tongue out at him and went to sit down a little further with Micah.
"I think that they will become good friends." Max laughed.
"Yeah...maybe..." Tala murmured.
He didn't say much, but he knew that it wouldn't be a good idea.
"Okay! Ray, Tyson you're up next. Come on! Hurry up!" Kai ordered.
Tyson nodded, preparing his launcher and looking over at Hillary again. He was very worried, and he absolutely didn't trust Tala or his girlfriend. To him, they were too close of Biovolt, meaning they were a danger to Hillary.
"Tyson! Concentrate!"
"Yeah, yeah. I am." He replied.
"3...2...1...let it rip!"
