Ch. 8
Days went by and Vert and Taro still hadn't come around. The last several days had been kind of slow...no realms opened and Kris and Markie had hung out lately. It seemed like Kris and Markie were inseperatable sometimes and sometimes they would have normal sybling fights. Kurt was always there to make them split and go cool down.
As time went on, Kris started to spend sometime in the infirmary with Vert. Kris was in there one day, checking on Vert, Kris couldn't help but smile. Did she like him...or was she just feeling sorry for him about getting hurt. Kris couldn't tell what she was feeling, she was standing there watching him when the alarm went off, Kris let out a groan and headed for the main area to see who would go in.
"The following drivers will go into the realm, Mark Wylde, Kurt Wylde, Nolo Pasaro, Karma Eiss, Tork Maddox, and Mitch McClurg." All of the other drivers sighed with relief and decided to go back to what they were doing.
They entered the realm...it was cold and the road was ice. Dr. Tezla came over the comm,"switch your tires to spikes" Everyone switched there tires as they drove along the track. Nolo was in the lead, Kurt and Markie were sticking together, hoping to help each other out.
At the Acceledrome Kris was up in the main computer area. Lani was on the comm talking with them. Kris just sighed and watched on with worry as she saw the drivers drive on the track. Luckily Markie and Kurt were sticking together on the track. The tires slipped alittle as they drove along, but most of them time the drivers were able to stay on track. The drones had showed up and were giving the drivers a hard time. Kris watched as her brothers faced even more trouble...
Markie was driving along when he saw a drone behind him. Markie got on the comm,
"We have trouble" Wylde said
"Get in front of me" Kurt said
Markie swung around and pulled in front of Kurt. Kurt tried to keep the drone off of there tails, but he wasn't having much luck. Then the drone back off, Kurt couldn't figure it out. The drone was trying to get through one minute and then started backing up the next. What was going on?...A TRAP, they were setting them up. It was to late, Kurt's car spun out of control and hit Markie's car, Kurt was knocked unconsciouse, Markie's car stopped a little ways away, but Kurt's car had rolled over and slid to a stop and then bursted into flames. Markie saw what happened and jumped out of the car and headed for Kurt's car. He dragged Kurt out of the car and into his and then reached for the EDR, lifting the clear lid and then pushed the red button, making him and Kurt return to the Acceledrome.
Kris sped down the stairs as Kurt and Markie hit the cushion against the wall (the one Lani and Nolo set up in Speed of Silence). Lani had followed and helped Kris to get Kurt and Markie to the infirmary, Markie was alright, but Kurt was badly banged up, luckily Taro had woken up. Taro sat up and watched as Lani and Kris brought Kurt in. Markie noticed that Taro had woken up and decide to see how he was doing. Kris and Lani were bandging Kurt up when they heard tires squeal...
The drivers had made it back, Lani decided to go see if they won or loss and fill the other drivers in. Kris stayed with Vert and Kurt in the infirmary. Markie had left with Lani to go see the other drivers, Taro had layed back down he rolled his head over at Kris, Kris looked over at him and raised a eyebrow,
"What" Kris asked
"I...just have never seen this part of you" Taro said
"what part of me" Kris said rinse out a wash clothe.
"it...is..just...why hasn't Kurt and Markie mentioned you before" Taro asked
"I don't know" Kris asked
"It...is...I had no idea that they had a sister" Taro said "I'm just wondering, why?"
"maybe, because I'm not the perfect sister sometimes" Kris said
This time Taro was the one that raised his eyebrow. Then Nolo barged in, Kris sighed in relief, she really didn't want to deal with her past right now. The past she had after she left her adoptive parents, the one she was trying to forget.
Nolo was talking with Taro, as Kris turned back to Kurt and Vert, and getting them back to normal. For now Kris was concentrated on Kurt and Vert.
