(A/N: SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO UPLOAD….)

Chapter 2

The pain shot through my body quickly. Little jolts like being electrocuted. Then one final big jolt.

"Ow!" I moaned as I blinked. There were doctors standing over me. I stared up at the person and they stared down. "Who are you?" I asked groggily trying to get up

"Stay down Miss Manton," they argued

"Only if you tell me why I'm here," I demanded again

"Your in the hospital after surgery, you weren't supposed to wake up." Said the masked face in front of me,

"Oh, Shit," I muttered

"Yeh, now please lie down Miss-," he started

"Thea,"

"Fine, Thea, please lie down again," he repeated, I sighed and lay down painfully. They injected something into my arm again and I started to feel dizzy but not go to sleep. They were talking again and I turned my head to them.

"H-h-how c-come I-I'm n-n-not asleep," I stuttered loudly, unaware I was shouting.

"Doctor, she isn't going under, her body is resisting the anaesthetic, what do we do?" said a nurse,

"Do you take any medicine?" he asked me,

"Yeh some stuff for my legs," I shouted again only thinking I was whispering.

"Where are they?" he asked

"Ray had them or their in my bag!" I shouted

"Thank you Thea, now Nurse Sarah is going to give you something to numb the pain," said the doctor. I giggled and nodded dizzily. A warm fluid went tingling up my arm. I wriggled as I tried to scratch it but I only went into a coughing fit. The warm fluid started hurting and I cried out.

"What's wrong dear?" asked the old nurse,

"It hurts, it burns!" I screamed as it burned my lungs and arm. My beyblade arm. I carried on screaming as the doctor came running into the room followed by two blurs. I wriggled and cried, screaming from the pain. Slowly the pain engulfed me and I went out of it again.

3rd person point of view

Doctor Geoto stared at the stats of the young woman in front of her. Her vital signs were spiralling down, her lungs were filling slowly with blood and there was an unrecognisable poison devouring the flesh of her lungs. One hour earlier she was lying on the table in the operating theatre screaming.

"This cannot be," he muttered

"Can anything be done doctor?" asked Ray from behind him,

"I'm sorry Ray but we're doing everything, the poison in her is the same as that blade that hit her," he explained "We can only think that this is a new poison. We are currently working on a remedy," he finished, Ray sighed again and sat down in his office next to the rest of the Bladebreakers.

"You may go see her, she will probably be awake now, her body is also rejecting any anaesthetic as a result of her leg medication, we're taking her off of it so she'll need crutches and a wheelchair at home when she tiers out," he explained again "Who's looking after her,"

"She lives alone with her baby brother, but she has a space at my house," said Tyson "She'll stay with us anyway, or live with Kai, or as a back up to that Ray lives with her," he added looking at Kai,

"Why you looking at me," he asked

"Well you have a big house with helpers, she could stay there and me and mum will look after Jackson," said Hilary smiling sweetly at him, he sighed and nodded,

"Fine, she'll live with me, Ray will help and Jackson lives with Hilary or at Tyson's while she stays there," finalised Kai, Doctor Geoto smiled at the young adults in front of him as they made decisions about their friend. All for her best lifestyle.

Thea's point of view

Shit my head hurts like hell, what's this? I stuttered in my mind as I saw the oxygen mask strapped to my mouth. I lifted an arm only to have it drop again. I looked around and noticed I was lying on my back. I just lay there thinking again. That man. He had a white lily on his coat. Could Kuroyuri be back again? No he couldn't he died in the accident thing. I guess the saying was right.

The calm before the storm...

Or I have just come out of the eye of the storm. Heh funny pun. I laughed in my mind. The door opened slightly and in walked a lot of people. I knew although I couldn't see them at my feet.

"Yo," I said as I lifted one arm and waved before it flopped down again. I winced at the pressure on my IV in my hand. I saw Ray come and stand looking at me.

"How are you feeling?" he asked

"Fine, fine, I just can't move my body," I replied grinning, I slowly and using all my energy lifted the mask up over my face. I was fine for a bit but went into a coughing fit. I tasted blood come up and I moved my head to the side.

"Thea," shrieked Hilary. Shit she noticed. Nurse Sarah came running in and saw me.

"Thea, you have to keep that mask on, the air in it is keeping you from coughing," she cried, Ray immediately put the mask back on. I grinned as I wiped the blood away. I moved my hand and flicked a switch to move the bed. The back came up so I could see everyone. Hilary had Jackson sitting on her hip and he jumped off to come over to me.

"Thea!" he shouted and jumped onto my lap with an 'umf' from me.

"Jackson, be careful," said Hilary reaching out

"Chill, Hil, he's fine," said Tyson grabbing her arms again. I nodded and looked down at my little brother.

"Wassup squirt," I said smiling through the mask,

"Are you still sick?" he asked poking the mask,

"Only for a bit longer," I replied smiling at him. He nodded and lay back on me. I smiled again and sighed. Everyone stayed until 10 that night. Kenny left first, followed by Max and Tyson. Kai left soon after to go home and Hilary stayed. I was softly singing to Jackson like I did almost every night. He was asleep on my lap while I sung raspily from behind my mask. When I stopped I sighed and looked up at Hilary.

"Please look after him, he may be my mothers and Kuroyuri's but I love him as I did my other brothers," I whispered

"I will, mum really likes looking after Jackson when we were training, she'll love it now," she said smiling and lifting Jackson off of me and saying bye and leaving me with Ray. He was looking down and looking puzzled. I sighed and looked at him.

"What's the matter Ray?" I asked softly taking his hand. He squeezed it and looked up.

"Just thinking," he replied, I nodded and lay back. "What happens if we don't find an antidote," he asked quietly

"We will we have to have faith," I replied "They're doing everything, now we only have to find out who it was who did it. Mr D's coming tomorrow," I added, he looked up again smiling weakly "We'll pull through we always do," I just hope we do this time. I want to grow old enough to see everything.
