Chapter 4
Ray stood pacing the waiting room while the rest of the Bladebreakers were sitting watching him and Kai, well you could say he was getting pissed off. He stood up and walked over to Ray and put a hand on his shoulder stopping him.
"Stop it Ray," he said quietly
"Get off me Kai," he hissed at the captain, Kai's grip tightened and Ray flinched slightly
"I said to stop it, you're making everyone more nervous," he replied coldly
"How can you just say that when she could die!" he shouted shocking the rest of the waiting room and the Bladebreakers
"She won't Ray," he said trying not to shout
"How do you know? You know nothing!" he shouted shoving the captain then running out the waiting room to the garden outside. Hilary stood and glared at Kai before sprinting after her team mate.
"Smooth move Kai," muttered Tyson
"Hn, it was the truth," he replied
"Yeh that's his girlfriend in there. Helllllllllooooooo heartless man, his LONG term girlfriend," said Tyson waving madly at him
"I'm not heartless," said Kai "Just cold,"
"Guys lets just try to relax, she should be out of the ICU soon anyway, then we can go visit her," said Max while Kenny was cowering behind him, as the two big egos battled it out.
"Heh yeh I suppose your right Maxy," said Tyson grinning and Max nodded. Jackson soon ran inside followed by Hilary supporting Ray. He was covered in blood as well now.
"What the hell happened?" asked Tyson running over and even Kai's eyes widened
"Get a doctor Max, we were attacked by the same people as Thea," said Hilary pulling the half conscious Neko-jin upwards. Max ran of and soon Dr Geoto came through and gasped.
"Another?" he asked
"Yeh by the same people, we think he's got Thea's poison." Said Tyson,
"Quick bring him in," said Geoto, the whole waiting room was staring at the scene curiously. Well wouldn't you if the World Champions were running in with a team mate covered in blood. They brought Ray through to the emergency room and the Doctors immediately set to work on him. They shuffled the Bladebreakers to the private waiting room next door. Now it was Tyson's time to pace although Kai restrained from stopping him in fear of getting him attacked. Doctor Geoto finally came through the main doors to them and Hilary stood to greet him.
"We have stabilising Mr.Kons condition and he is currently in the same room as Thea but we have good news also on her side, she is out of ICU but as always there is one problem. It seems her body has shut itself down to quicken the healing process," he explained, Hilary gasped and hugged Jackson tighter, Max and Tyson looked a bit dumb about it then Kai asked the question they wanted to know.
"So are you saying they're dying?" he asked quietly
"Yes, in a way," the doctor said
"You have to do something," shouted Tyson grabbing the front of the doctor's coat. Dr Geoto looked slightly shocked but smiling warmly
"We are doing everything we can, our researchers have almost finished the antidote," he said "We are keeping an eye on them but if all else fails we will have to put them on a life support," he said sadly, Tyson's grip loosened as he let out a shallow sob. Kai came forward and put a hand on his friend shoulder.
"Can we see them?" asked Max
"Yes this way," he said leading them through to a floor higher and into a white washed room where they saw their two friends lying in a peaceful sleep. Both next to each other. Both heart monitors beeping slowly. Masks covering their faces and both lying in the same way in hospital gowns.
"Thank you Doctor," said Hilary and he nodded and left as the team watched their fallen friends.
I blinked and looked around. I was in a dark room, definitely not what I remember. In the walls were pictures of my old family, mum, dad, Dylan, Jake, Me and finally Fred. I sniffed as I looked at them. We seemed to be at our old home, the one I'll always remember. Suddenly I heard running then saw younger versions running through the house.
"Mom! I can beyblade!" a younger me shouted running inside followed by my brothers. I smiled remembering my memory of it, I was so happy and my parents and brothers were so proud of me. Then the scene changed. The day dad died. I was sitting in the car singing with my dad. To our favourite song ever. You know one of those tragic old songs; we were happy and swaying back and forth. I noticed a large van come speeding toward us in an intersection on my dad's side. I screamed at it.
"Daddy look out!" I screamed and felt my dad push me down and cover me. Then I heard a shout and dad spoke.
"Be good kiddo," he said smiling then closing his eyes slowly. I saw myself go hysterical and thump around then hit my head causing me to black out. Instead of it changing I saw what the meds saw when they pulled my father out. I had blocked this out of my memory but now it was back to haunt me. I saw my dad mangled and squashed. I could see multiple bones sticking out at wrong angles and it went right to his chest where I saw a large piece of metal jutting out of his chest. The younger me screeched and I screamed. I backed away from the scene and into the wall but the image wouldn't move, it just stayed there. I screamed again when I felt something on my shoulder. I looked up and almost screamed when I saw Ray standing there.
"R-ray?" I stuttered
"Thea its okay it's me," he said hugging me tightly
"What are y-you d-doing he-here?" I asked
"I don't know I was attacked earlier and ended up here, don't ask me," he said smiling
"I was so scared I saw the night my dad died," I cried on him he turned and stared at the scene then back at me
"I don't see anything," he said flatly
"W-what?" I stuttered
"I said I don't see anything Thea," he replied
"B-but I can see him lying there dead, the night h-he died," I added
"No I can't it's probably the poison, I've got it as well," he said then he flinched "Somethings happening, I feel like I'm fading!" he shouted as I saw him go transparent then fade out into the darkness,"
"Ray!" I screamed
"Defeat the memory!" I heard his fading voice, what does he mean defeat the memory? I turned back to the scene. I noticed a hooded cloak in the corner and saw a white lily on the person's cloak.
"If I can't have you then nobody will," echoed a voice, my head whipped round and saw nothing
"There is no antidote," it said again I whipped round the other way and still nothing.
"You cannot stop me," it hissed again, I slumped on the wall behind me and cried. I couldn't take it; I stared at the frozen picture in front of me. Why is there a man with HIS crest on his cloak? What is it to do with it? Wait……..no he can't have……..he he he can't have……He can't have killed dad………Could he? He did! That lying asshole……….I screamed in my head and cried more, I couldn't get out and it was frustrating me. I started singing quietly to myself.
Don't
use a weakness
Don't change the subject,
Don't ask the
questions if you fear the answer
You look distorted
Lets make
you clearer
Lets flip the switch and use the smoke and
mirrors
Re-invent yourself today
Re-invent your world
today
Crying out for the last time
Clear a space for the
warning signs
Crying out for the last time
And there's no
turning back now that you've opened up to your mind
What
guides your vision
What holds the balance
Don't think that I
can't see you shake and tremble
Well I know your nervous this
world is scary
You have to let go all the madness you
carry
Re-invent yourself today
Re-invent your world today
Crying
out for the last time
Clear a space for the warning signs
Crying
out for the last time
And there's no turning back now that you've
opened up to your mind
There is no turning back now
Everything
you've ever wanted
Everything in this moment
There is no
turning back now
Crying
out for the last time
Clear a space for the warning signs
Crying
out for the last time
And there's no turning back now that you've
opened up to your mind
Crying out for the last time
I cried as I sang and slowly I started hearing a faint beeping. Coming from around me.
"You can't escape!" shouted a voice near me; I ignored it and carried on singing to myself. The feeling of me lying down came back then the warmth on me. I slowly stopped singing and heard the heart monitor start beating madly then I froze, painfully starting again. It stopped and I heard the people around me start talking.
"What just happened?" asked a male voice
"I don't know doctor," said a more feminine voice. I slowly felt myself awakening and I blinked, coming back into reality………
Heh Rate and Review……….this is longer……..the song in here is Crying Out by Shinedown……..
