Dark Tea
Chapter 2
"Get her to the ER NOW" roared out Dr. Nickloson, the ER Doctor in charge that day. When the police had called and reported the rape, he made sure that everything was ready. Once Tea arrived, her clothes were removed and she was given a medical examination. What the nurses found was shocking to say the least.
Not only did Tea have massive bruising on her body, but, the nurses also reported vaginal tearing and scaring, as well as signs of sodomy as well. The legs were in such a state that Tea was going to need some physical therapy to regain most of her mobility. Dancing would be possible, but not on the scale that she had hoped for.
This news hit Tea HARD! Her plans after school were to become a dancer, one that could keep her supported for life. Now, all of this was threatened. And, in her mind, where there had been only one soul room, with pictures of dancers, now a SECOND room was forming! This room was darker than the one that Shadi had discovered. It was filled with badly ripped pictures of Joey Wheeler and Tristan Taylor, as well as badly marred pictures of dancers as well. And, in this new room, it seemed that there were Red Eyes examining any who entered it. And the voice in this room was a darker voice, filled with anguish and rage. "Whoever did this to me, is going to PAY! And the first one to pay will be either Wheeler or Taylor. They were supposed to escort me home that night. I want to find out who did this and make them pay! After I finish with them, then, its time to work on finding out who did this to me. Then he will pay as well" the voice said, filled with rage and anger.
Over the next few days, Tea was given the news: She had been raped and beaten badly. It was going to take time and a LOT of physical therapy to even get back to close to what she had been like before she had been assaulted. While Tea cried herself to sleep each night, the second soul room was getting louder, as the second soul that was forming was getting mad, wanting revenge, and even wanting to change her appearance so that she could find if the person who had done this was working in areas that her normal appearance would not get her into.
But, at least Tea was getting visitors. The persons who were visiting the most were Yugi and Bakura. At times, even Prince Atem came by to visit, trying to comfort her, and trying to encourage her to not give up and keep at the therapy.
Finally, Joey showed up at the hospital, looking ashamed at himself. "Hello Tea. Sorry I haven't been around for a while. Been busy with school and work" he told his female friend, wanting to try and offer his encouragement as well.
But, Joey was SHOCKED to hear the acid venom coming out of Tea's mouth. " And where were you that night Joey?! You were supposed to escort me home from work that night. WHERE WERE YOU, you stupid clown!" she told Joey, almost snarling at him with the anger and hatred in her voice. With Joey being in the room, Tea's normal subdued tone of voice was replaced by the one from the Dark Soul Room.
Joey was taken aback at what Tea said. "I'm sorry Tea. I had a major test the next day, and I needed to study for it. So, I swapped off with Tristan for that night. From what I heard, he's been busy developing a reputation as a ladies man around town, taking girls out, making them swoon with passion" Joey told Tea, the sorrow evident in his voice that calmed the rage in Tea's dark side at him.
"I'll let you off the hook Joey, if you can bring back some proof that the two of you swapped shifts that night" Tea told him. Ever since she had started working at the restaurant, someone had always walked her home, just to be on the safe side. Most of the time it was either Joey or Tristan. But, if it turned out that Tristan had been playing the field, then Tea was going to make him PAY!
One afternoon, Bakura was visiting Tea. She had just gotten back from a therapy session, and she was sore and tired. When Bakura mentioned that it was getting close to tine for Finals, Tea just snapped! "GREAT! That means that my chances of getting a scholarship to college or a chance at Dance School just went up in smoke!" she railed at the normally calm temperament young man.
"ENOUGH OF THIS!" called out the voice of the Millennium Ring. "With what is going on, answers are needed" he called out, as he manifested himself. This version of Bakura had wild, white blonde hair that went along with a deeper voice than what was normally heard. "Perhaps its time that I find out just what is going on here. Millennium Ring, find a way for us to enter this young woman's mind" he called out. Yami Bakura rarely used his Ring for this, preferring to leave small pieces of himself in places that he wanted to get information on. But this time, it worked! Upon entering the mind of Tea Gardner, he was SHOCKED! He saw the usual Soul Room, with dancers and men's pictures in them. But finding a SECOND soul room sent shock waves into him.
"So, someone finally decided to pay me a visit" said the sharp tongue voice of a Tea Gardner that lived in the darker soul room.
