Summary: Aurora is in college, spending only her weekends and vacations in Crystal Springs. After since Andros' reunion with his children, Blaecleah kept quiet, but peace never lasts for long.
Juzblue: Yeah, that was Ciana. Didn't see that coming, did you? Glad you like her powers, just wait until I put up the chapter where she actually tells about her team.
Ghostwriter: Thanks, I had a blast! Catch ya on the flip side.
TrueRomantic: Well, Aurora didn't really wake up to protect her baby brother, that's not necessary anymore since their baby sister is doing it for her. I'll try sending the files some other way. Have fun.
DizneeDol: Well, you've been patient enough for this one. (I hope, you're not in a mental hospital reading this, are you? If you are, try and get a transfer, you could come keep me company.)
JENNY!: PLEASE DON'T BE DEAD! I'D DIE! Wait, no I won't. I'd just have to find a new beta-reader. Maybe phantom is interested? Cool, I've got myself a servant! Subconscious: if you ever do something for me do it slow and chaotic! Demon equals chaos, I equal HAVOC! Maybe that's why I love thunderstorms so much? That would probably be the reason Ciana controls it too. Can't wait to write a chapter with a thunderstorm where Ciana doesn't cry, but desperately tries to catch it, fails and THEN starts crying because the can't hold the thunder (yet)! If you're starving: go eat.
Necroblade: That's okay. School sucks. Yay! You didn't expect Ciana! I'm getting good at this! I LOVE BEING EVIL::nurse runs over with drugs: NO! NO MORE SEDATIVES! PLEASE! I'M FINE! I SWEAR!
Arwennicole: I'm still alive, aren't I? Wait, don't answer that, I'm not sure I ever was alive… Hope you had a fun vacation, I know mine was worth the trouble of packing and unpacking.
Phantom Rogue: Sparks are fun! FIRE IS FUNNER::new nurse comes running over: NO MORE DRUGS! I'M NOT A PHYROMANIC! (whispers: yet) CAN'T YOU PEOPLE JUST LET ME BE CRAZY IN PEACE? About the actual story review: I know you knew! I told you! That was indeed supposed to be a cliffy. No there's no one else in hospital who knows Ray, but… I WOKE HER UP AND THEN I DIDN'T UPDATE FOR A WEEK! That's what's so evil about it! Nope, I'm not confused! I've got Bridge-itis! I live to confuse myself, but you can't confuse me! HA!
Demon Child From Hell: I'M NOT GOING TO KILL MACK! Subconscious, I've got a job for you: KILL!
It Was Just The Beginning
Chapter 20
"I'm fine." Aurora assured. "Please let me go to my brother."
"I'm sorry, Miss Hammond, but you just woke up from a coma. We can't let you go." The doctor replied.
"But there's nothing wrong with me. I'm absolutely fine." Aurora protested.
"We can't let you go." The doctor repeated firmly.
"Dad." Aurora whined. "Please get me out of here."
"Your father can't get you out, only us doctors can." The doctor said, cutting of any reply Andros might have given.
"But I'm allergic to sterile air." Aurora shot back.
"You were fine for five days." The doctor retorted.
"It's a genetic mental allergy." Aurora tried desperately. "My mom has it too."
"There's no such thing." The doctor stood his ground.
"You just haven't discovered it yet!" Aurora exclaimed.
"Now, now, there's no need for yelling."
"I'm FINE!" Aurora yelled. "I need to get to my brother!"
"YOU ARE NOT FINE!" The doctor nearly yelled back. "YOU CAN'T WAKE UP FROM A COMA AND BE JUST FINE!"
"TRY ME!" Aurora shot back, her anger mounting.
"You are not getting out of here until I give you a clear." The doctor said, trying very hard to keep his temper under control.
"Well, just see about that." Aurora muttered under her breath.
"What was that?" The doctor tried to ask nicely.
"Nothing, jerk. Just let me out of here." Aurora replied, folding her arms and legs and started at the doctor hard.
"I can't let you out." The doctor tried to reason with his patient.
"I'll hold my breath until you do." Aurora threatened.
"That doesn't scare me."
Aurora took a deep breath and then stopped breathing, slowly her face started to turn red.
"You'll never be able to hold your breath long enough." The doctor laughed lightly.
Minutes ticked by and Aurora didn't restart breathing, her face was now turning an ugly shade of purplish blue.
"If you keep that up, you won't be able to go to your brother because you'll have suffocated, not to mention that boy you were in the car with."
Reluctantly Aurora had to admit he had a point. She wasn't really helping herself out of here by killing herself. Deciding to try another approach, Aurora started breathing again.
"See, I knew we would come to an understanding."
"With you?" Aurora breathed. "NEVER! LET ME OUT!"
"Aurora, calm down." Andros coaxed, noticing her necklace started to glow. "Knowing you, you'll be out of here in no time, but there's no need for calling on the power to do so."
"Oops." Aurora replied, looking slightly sheepishly.
After some quick thinking a wicked smile appeared on her face and she pushed the covers away. Then she slid out of bed and jumped to her feet.
"Well, it was fun staying here, though I don't remember much, but I really got to go now. See you later."
Whatever the doctor had expected, this surely wasn't it. Aurora was nearly out the door of the room, before he grabbed her upper arm.
"Hey!" Aurora cried and spun around furiously, slapping the doctor's hand away.
It was obvious the doctor had been surprised by the sheer strength Aurora was able to muster after being in a coma for five days.
"Don't ever do that again." Aurora growled, obviously pissed off.
"You can't just walk out of here!" The doctor growled back, having lost his patience.
"We'll just see about that!" Aurora yelled. "I'm out of here!"
With that a red/yellow light surrounded her and she disappeared. The doctor was staring wide-eyed and with an open mouth at the point Aurora had just stood seconds ago. Trying not to laugh, Andros slowly edged backwards, hoping to leave the room unnoticed.
A/N: Fun chapter. Hope you liked it. Review.
