Chapter 10 : Revelations
"So...what do you think about Micah?" Tyson asked as they all walked back toward the house.
"She's really nice!" Hillary answered, in an enthusiastically. "I think we'll be good friends!
"Oh...really?"
Hillary nodded, smiling.
"We have a lot in common! And...well you know I love you guys but, I'm happy to meet a girl who understands me."
"We understand, it's only normal Hillary, don't worry!" Max said.
She grabbed his arm and placed her head on his shoulder.
"Thanks Max!" She laughed and kiss him on the cheek. "I don't know what I'd do without you guys!"
"I don't know either." Ray added, teasing.
Hillary smiled again as they entered Tyson's dojo. She felt really happy for once and it was a very pleasant sensation.
"Tyson. It's time." Kai said slightly. "We can't wait any longer. We have to tell her. Now."
Tyson looked at his captain and shook his head.
"I...I can't..."
Kai placed his hand on his shoulder and sighed.
"Okay. I will then."
"You should be the one to tell her." Kenny said. "After all, you're the one who knows exactly what she went through."
"He's right." Ray added.
Max looked sad and guilty.
"I would like to help her..." He murmured. "But I can't....so...Kai help her. Go and tell her. She has to know even if it's hard for her. We'll stay here...in case you need us."
They all nodded as Hillary entered the kitchen.
"Hillary I have to talk to you...now." Kai said with his usual voice.
"Oh yeah?" She smiled. "What is it?"
"Come on. We'll be more comfortable in the living room."
Hillary hesitated a few seconds, looking worriedly at her friends.
"Alright...if you say so..."
She follow him in the living room and he closed the door behind her.
"Hillary, what I have to tell you is really serious."
She took few steps backward, growing more and more concerned.
"You're scaring me Kai..."
"Hillary..."
He placed his hands on her shoulders, staring at her. He breathed in deeply before starting to speak.
"We know where you were for the past two years."
She jumped.
"Wh...what? Since...since when?!"
"Since the day you came back. When you collapsed...Tyson noticed...a tattoo...on your neck."
Hillary shook her head but didn't say anything.
"Hillary you were..."
"NO!" She shouted suddenly, pushing him away. "Don't tell me! I don't want to know!"
"Hillary..."
"I don't want to know!" She repeated, tears rolling on her cheeks from fear. "You don't understand! I don't want to remember! I don't want to know what happened! I'm happy now!"
"Hillary, listen to me..."
"NO!" She yelled. "You know that what happened was horrible, just like I do! Why do you want to make me feel sad?! I don't want to remember this! Don't tell me!"
"Hillary you were with Biovolt for two years!"
But she wasn't listening, her hands covered her ears as she cried, shouting and struggling as Kai tried to make her see the truth.
"NO! Please Kai...leave me alone! I don't want to know...please..."
She kneeled on the floor as Tyson opened the door, very anxious.
"Hillary!"
He knelt close to her and she felt in his arms. He hugged her gently as she murmured to herself, crying.
"I don't want to know...Tyson..."
He hugged her tighter and looked at Kai.
"Tell her."
"No!" She cried, hugging him desperately. "No, please..."
"Hil...it will be worse if you wait."
"If...if I let you tell me, I won't be able to act like it was just a nightmare Tyson." She explain, crying. "I'll have to face it...and...I can't. I don't have the strength! I'm so afraid...I don't want to remember Tyson! I just want to stay like this...in your arms...forever. Please...don't hurt me."
Tyson rubbed her cheek before kissing her forehead.
"I'll be there to help you Hil. I'll be there for you...you'll have to face it one day, and I think it's better now, with us beside you. We'll never hurt you...I'll never hurt you...and I promise to do everything to make you happy. You'll always be able to stay in my arms Hillary. I'll never reject you...trust me."
She hugged him more and forced herself to smile.
"It was horrible, right?"
"Yeah..."
"But...it won't happen again?" She asked.
"Never! We won't let it happen!" He promised.
She dried her tears and nodded courageously.
"Alright...I'm ready." She whispered.
She looked at Kai and smiled.
"Tell me."
She felt Tyson's hand squeezing her and breathed deeply.
"You were at Biovolt...for the last two years..."
