Big Changes
Chapter 6
A/N: Heya, hope the wait wasn't too long. So yeah, this is gonna be in almost entirely Wakko and Shaya's POVs. Enjoy this chapter's angstyness and heartbreaking events.
Shaya's POV-
Sitting in my cell, i hummed quietly, trying to soothe my fears and pains.
A song i heard a while back came to mind, so i hummed quietly to myself, not noticing someone watching.
"...Wakko..." I sighed to myself and looked out the window again, it was day light again, the only knowledge that time is passing.
My head turned when i heard someone come closer. "Wakko Warner huh? I didn't know you were friends with a TV star..." C.M muttered under his breath with a crazy grin, he pulled out that stupid camera and started to film again. I turned away so i wouldn't have to watch him gloat and insult them.
Wonder what he's gonna do now...
Wakko's POV-
I woke up, stretching and groggy. I was confused when i felt a damp spot on my pillow, when i felt it, i noticed that it wasn't near my mouth like usual, it was up near my eyes...
Had i been crying?
Then i remembered, Shaya, kidnap, crazy guy, video, crying. UGH!
I flopped back down on my bed, hoping to go to sleep again, but then i'd have the nightmares again...eugh...
So, i sat up, rolled out of bed and sluggishly changed, noting that Yakko must've gotten me changed again while i was sleeping. Grabbing my cap from the bed, i trudged out of my room, to find an even more depressing sight.
Yakko and Dot were eating breakfast, no grins, no giggles, and Ryku. He sat curled up on the couch, he had bags under his eyes, most likely stayed up all night, or atleast most of the night.
Walking over to my sibs, i sat down and ate the breakfast that was waiting for me, not making one comment, no one did.
That is until a bang on the door caught our attention. This time i stood up and went to the door, yanking it open, i found another box. Once i brought it in, i opened it to find, oh joy, another video tape. I glared at the tape until someone pried it from my hands, Dot looked at me with a sad smile before going and putting it in the machine.
And you wouldn't believe how angry i was when that twisted b-tard showed up again.
"Well well well...It seems that my plan has another step to it now. If only i'd known that the brat was friends with TV stars, i would've already put this into action!" He cackled in a crazy way. "Now then...I know you're listening Warners, so, i have a propasition. I'll set her free, for a price, not in cash, not in things, but you'll know when you get here. Just follow the instructions on the paper in the box..." The man turned to Shaya, who was sitting in the same corner glaring at him. "Better hurry though, never know what could happen between now and then." And the video cut off.
I couldn't believe it! Now it's ransom! That guy is SO gonna pay when i find him!
"Wow...Well, we better get ready. You heard what the pyshco said, we have to hurry or it could be too late." Dot and Yakko started getting ready, i picked up the paper, then looked to the others. It's now or never...
"Let's go"
Shaya's POV-
I watched silently as C.M prepared a cell across from me, the 3rd one so far. Three cells, three sets of chains like mine, and three people who were going to try to sacrfice themselves for me...
It didn't take a genious to know what his plan was, in exchange for me, he try to take the Warners prisoner, and they wouldn't hesitate to fight or go along with it. The only thing that bothers me is if i'll be leaving this place alone or not. If only i hadn't tried to get away from all the peeping eyes...Please let them not get trapped here too...Please
My thoughts were interuppted by 3 of his lackies stumbling in, C. M looked at them rudely. "What?" The men stood tall "Boss, the Warners are nearing the area! "
He nodded. "Very well, don't try to stop them, just stay out of their way so i can...negotiate..." He sent a blood freezing smirk towards me, with which i responded to with a rasberry.
"Watch the brat while i'm gone, don't want anyone to try something with her un guarded..." That was the last i heard as he walked out the door. I DID however hear footsteps and voices echoing around the building, though i didn't call back, i knew i'd get in trouble if i did.
Ryku...Wakko...PLEASE don't do anything reckless...
Wakko's POV-
As we approached the ruins of a police station, i thought it was pretty strange for a insane criminal to hang out.
When we got to the entrance, we saw a big goon toon, obviously one of the lackies. The strange thing is they just stood to the side, letting us go in. Every one of the guards let us past. Though as we called out for Shaya, we didn't notice that we were being lead to the head office, most likely where that pyshyo was.
"Should we go in?" Dot asked quietly, Yakko shrugged. "Maybe. If we find out what that nut case wants, he'll let Shaya go." I looked around us suspiciously. "I don't know sibs...It might be a trap..." Yakko looked around too. "You might be right Wak, but i don't think we reall have much of a choice now." He pointed to the guards blocking anyway to another area or room.
Ryku walked closer to the door. "Then let's go. The faster we find that pyshco the faster we can get out of here with Shaya." I was about to stop him but he already opened the door.
"Right on time...As always huh Ryku?" I heard Ryku snarl at the man.
"Now that you're all here. We can negotiate." Walking up to Ryku, he pushed him out of the way, headed over to us. Yakko stepped in front of us, glaring at the man.
"Alright...What'd you want?" C. M smiled. "Oh contrare...It's what YOU three want." He said, going over to a window, which surprisingly didn't show outside. Through the window, we could see a jail cell, Shaya's jail cell. I tried to run over but Yakko stopped me. "Ah so you must be Wakko...You know she mumbles about you all the time. Keeps saying 'Don't be reckless, please don't let him get hurt' and all that stuff. She must really care about you..." He looked through the window. "The question is...Do you really care about her as well?"
I could feel a deep growl buildin up in my throat. "Of course i do!" I snapped at him, he grinned. "Enough to do anything? Like say...Take her place?" I felt my blood run cold. "Hmmm? What do you say? I set her free...And you three stay here instead. Deal?" Yakko tensed beside me.
Stepping forward, Yakko's glare was fierce. "No way. We came here to get Shaya, not become prisoners in this stink hole!" C. M smirked. Walking past Yakko, i stood in front of the man with a determined look. "How about just one. I'll stay...Just let her go..." "Hmmm...Giving in to save your love...How pathetic, but alright if you insist." He said as he walked towards the door. "Wakko no..." Dot feebily called to me, i smiled at her.
Right as i was going over to him, someone shouted. "NO! YOU ROTTEN LITTLE SCHEMER! IF YOU SO MUCH AS TOUCH HIM I SWEAR I'LL !#($ #(( (#$ AND !I#!I#I YOU TILL YOUR ##O#ru#EIO IWE++##I$O% FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!"
C. M stopped, he turned to the guards calmly. "Occupy our guests while i take care of the brat...Shut her up once and for all..." He muttered to himself as he stalked out, the goons surrounded us. I wipped out my mallet, ready to beat down everything in my path now. Anything to get to Shaya before that bastard.
Shaya's POV-
Watching in hidden fear as he stalked towards me, i was sort of glad that i did that, on the other hand i was probably going to be killed now.
C. M opened the cell, walking towards me and glaring down at me. Suddenly he bent down and grabbed my chin. "You know brat, you've changed alot since back then haven't you...Yes...Developing real nice...The street life was good to you, still have that cute baby fat, even though you should've lost it by now." He went on and on, and i realized what he was impliying.
With a shocked look, i scooched backwards, my back hit the wall after a bit, but he kept coming closer. "Stay away from me!" I shouted, hoping to death that the others would come in here. When he came even closer, I kicked my foot out, hoping to catch him the sensitive spot, but he just grabbed it, and it kept getting worse.
As he advanced on me, i cried and shouted, thrashing around, wishing i could hit him. He just grinned a twisted grin. "No one's going to save you...Now hold still, i can't do both at once..."
I inhaled deeply, holding it in for a moment, then letting it out in one ear splitting scream. No words, just pure sound. After that, things started getting hazy, my head was turning down my senses, atleast till it's over.
Wakko's POV-
The scream was heard everywhere, we all froze as it bounced off the walls.
I was first to snap out of it, at least that's what i thought. "Shaya!" Running towards the cell area, i was stopped at the door by the biggest goon. "You're not going anywhere pipsqueak." The guy grumbled in a deep voice. Even with my mallet and toon strengh, i couldn't push past him, i was about to bring out the dynamite when one of the goons grabbed Dot, threatening us that if we tried anything we'd regret it.
So all i could do was sit in the corner and listen as her screams and crys echoed around, it was killing me, killing all of us. I could see Ryku down on his knees, shaking, either he was crying, or was gonna blow soon, but i knew that it couldn't be good.
I heard Yakko come over to me, i knew it was him, even with my face hidden in my arms. He didn't say anything, just sat down beside me with Dot, who he finally got loose from the goon. All i could do was wait...
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It was about an hour later when the crying finally stopped, after that, the goons had been talking, and left right quick.
As soon as they left, we charged in, but didn't expect what we found. C. M stood there, an insane grin twisting his mouth, and blood splattered around the cell.
Quickly as lightening, i raced past him, into the cell and towards Shaya, who was leaning up against a wall. I stopped when i saw her, she looked awful, gashes and blood, it made me sick, but i couldn't look away.
For some reason, Dot had run after me, passing me when i stopped, she kneeled down by Shaya and looked her up and down. She stopped at the puddle of blood beneath her, after a moment, she examined her closer, and backed up. Looking up towards the man, Dot had a horrifed look on her face when she looked him up and down.
"Dot? What is it?" Yakko was coming closer, Ryku had C. M trapped. Dot looked back to Shaya, then up to Yakko, mumbling something quietly. "She's what?" She had unshed tears in her eyes as she answered.
"She's been raped..." A long moment pasted before anything registured to me, and before i knew it, my control shattered.
I was beating on the guy faster then i thought possible. Not even using my toon things, just my bare fists, feet and teeth. More blood was splattering, not Shaya's though, if i could help it, not on more drop of blood was going to fall from her. Faster, stronger, harder. I kicked him into a wall and started punching the living daylights out of him. No matter what i did though, his insane grin stayed plastered to his face.
"'.stop!" "Wakko!" I paused in my furious rage when Yakko shouted. Turning, i found him crouched down by Shaya. "Stop it and get over here!" Walking over, i saw Shaya's eyes halfway open, her breathing was shallow and her face was damp. "w...wakko..." She couldn't even talk, it was more of a breath or a groan.
I basically fell to my knees, and without thinking, I grabbed her into my arms. Biting my lip so i wouldn't cry, I looked down at her, she was smiling slightly, though she wasn't looking at me, it's like she knew it was me. "C'mon, we have to get her out of here. She needs to go to the hospital." I was surprised that Ryku said that, he seemed the most calm, which is shocking with the current state of everything. None the less i nodded, before i could do anything, Ryku picked her up and walked straight out of the horrid place and to his car.
When we got back outside, Ryku had grabbed his cell phone and called 911. It wasn't long till an ambulance came.
All of us headed to the hospital, even though Ryku didn't like it, he drove in his car, so me, Yakko and Dot rode in the ambulance.
The ride there was noisy, confusing and actually pretty painful. The medics had a bunch of things hooked up to Shaya to moniter and help her breathing, to moniter her heart, stuff to examine her injuries. UGH! I hate hospitals, but seeing them poking and proding Shaya made me hate them even more!
Atleast we'd be there soon, then they can help Shaya, and soon we'll be home.
Shaya's POV-
Numb...Pain...Blood...Sound...Touch..Movement...Tears...
Everything was blurly, i couldn't see anything and when i tried it hurt, so i closed my eyes and listened to the sounds. I knew i didn't fall asleep, i was awake the whole time on the way to the hospital, and i didn't want to, something in my head told me not to, so i focused on the sounds, hoping for them to keep me awake. That's when i heard a voice, someone was talking, talking about me.
Moving my head to the side slightly, i spotted someone who was obviously a nurse, she was a toon too, she smiled when she saw me looking at her.
"Shaya? Hi sweetie, glad to see your still awake. I know it's embarrassing and most likely painful now that this has happened, but i need to ask you some questions." I nodded my head, she kept her smile and sat down in a chair beside me. "Alright, first off. I know you're 10, so i have to ask. Have you ever had a period yet?" Shaking my head fast, she grinned. "Good, we just needed to make sure, seeing as with what happened you could've gotten- Shaya? You gotta stay awake sweetie. C'mon, wake up, look at me..." Everything was bluring out again, my eyes kept closing and my mind was slowing things down. I couldn't fight it anymore, all i heard was the nurse rushing around quickly and her calling to someone.
"Get the docter in here! She's loosing conciousness!"
I slipped into a heavy sleep after that, not knowing what was going to happen to me now.
Wakko's POV-
Waiting was not my specialty.
Which is why every 10 minutes i was trying to bust into her hospital room, or asking anyone and everyone what her condition was, and everytime, Yakko was grab me and sit me back down beside him.
"Wakko, they'll tell us as soon as they find out what's wrong. She wasn't suppose to fall asleep, so something definately-" Yakko stopped when the door opened, a female toon docter came out. "Ryku Hyton?" Ryku stood and went over to her, they talked quietly until Ryku sat back down, a shocked look on his face.
I stood and went over to the docter, stopping her as she went to go back in. "Wait! What's wrong with her? Tell me!" I exclaimed, the docter looked down at me, a sad look on her face. "Your friend Shaya...She went into a coma..." For the second time in 24 hours, my blood went cold, i couldn't feel anything, i was frozen. "You can go in to see her if you like, visiting hours are over at 6pm, so you have a few hours." She tried to smile, but just turned and walked away. I still stood frozen. "Wakko?" My siblings questioned and called to me.
The most i did, was turn and hesitantly walk into the room.
To say she looked better would be a lie. As much as i hated seeing her dripping with blood and other...bodily fluids, looking at her now, covering in bandages and hooked up to machines, it was much worse.
Collapsing in a chair next to her bed, I was frozen again. Yakko put his hand on my shoulder, helping me to the side to where a bench sat against one of the walls of the small room. Ryku took my spot in the chair.
Sitting down beside me, Yakko put an arm around my shoulders, the other going around Dot, who sat on the other side of him. She was already crying, had started since we got told about Shaya, and Yakko pulled her closer. With my eyes closed, I tried to bite back the waterfall building up behind my lids, it didn't work well, since the dam busted. Yakko, being the eldest and the best comforter for us, held us both close, I gripped onto him, both him and Dot, gripping onto them as i cried.
Yakko's POV-
I layed Wakko down on the bench, standing to stretch after sitting in the same spot for an hour with sleeping sibs laying against both sides of me. Dot was awake, she just woke up a few minutes ago. "Yakko...You think Wakko's gonna be alright?"
Looking back at Wakko, then turning to the hospital bed that Shaya layed in. It was obvious that this was going to change things, Wakko's gonna have alot of new things running through his inncent head, most likely none of them should be there.. It's going to be rough, rough for all of us. But mostly them...
Sitting down in my original spot, I looked down at my little sister. "After everything that's happened, i doubt he'll be okay for a long while sis." Dot frowned sadly, but I smiled and wrapped my arm around her. "But one things for sure sib...Wakko needs our support right now, as much as he might want to, he can't deal with this by himself..." I looked at the bed again, spotting Ryku asleep in the chair beside it. "None of us can..."
To Be Continued...
A/N: Yeah i know, real sad, but i had to! It was an idea that just wouldn't leave me alone! And please be aware, it WILL get better! ...Eventually...hehe ^^;
