A Spirit's Obsession
Ch.2: Clinic Chaos...
Some people don't believe in ghosts. But they are there. Even if to watch us, to haunt us, or even to help us, they're there. But they won't just show themselves for no reason... There is always a reason.
blitzkreig50889: Thanks! Sorry for the long wait. o-o;;
Kelsea-Chan: xD Well, thank you very much! I'm glad you like my story.
The redhead's vision soon turned black and body fell limp to the ground after he heard his name in a hushed whisper. "Tala…" The already unconscious red haired teen's head hit the floor hard. Immediately afterwords, the ice on the floor had disappeared, as did the icicles that formed from the ceiling. Kai looked around, staying in place before slowly walking over to his friend, continuously looking to both ends of the hall. Once he thought it was safe enough, Kai grabbed Tala and threw him on his back, carrying him all the way to the nurse's office in a hustle. And instead of opening in the door with his hands, the teen with two different colored hair decided to kick the door open. The poor door flew open easily and the nurse gasped in surprise. "Oh Kai. Hi." The nurse said, sighing in relief. "Um, can you please not kick the door the next time you need it opened?" He grunted. "I won't make any promises, Lady." Kai thought. "So, um, what do you need?" Either the lady was blind, or the teen was in a place that didn't allow her to see Tala. So… How the heck was he going to explain this? ''Well, Tala got attack by a ghost. Can you help?'' Yeah right! He'll just have to make something up. Kai stepped into the room and frowned. He needed to think of something, and fast. "Tala… fell." Kai answered. "On what?" The nurse asked. "The… stairs." The nurse raised an eyebrow. "He fell down the stairs? Why was he going up or down the stairs in the first place?" Kai wanted to throw something at the nurse. "Stop asking questions!!" He thought. "Because he was late…" The nurse held up the attendance sheet. "But I have here that he was in class, on time."
"Ah shot…" Kai thought. "I told the teaches not to mark him late because I thought he would be there near the end of class." The nurse put the papers down. "Well then, where was Tala?" Kai stared at the nurse in thought; well to be more correct he was staring at the wall behind her. "The… doctor's…" Kai hesitated. "And why was he there?" Kai frowned. "And why are you so nosy?" The nurse waited patiently. "For a shot…" Kai glanced at the nurse, and then looked out the windows. Man, this stupid lie better work… "And how do you know this?" Simple, lady… "He told me." The nurse started to make her way over. "Well, let's see the shot then." Man, stupid nosy nurse! "I don't know where it is, in fact. I don't even know what shot he got." The nurse stopped in her tracks. "Oh, I see. Well, just lay him down on the bed then. And sign him in if you don't mind." Kai smirked in victory. "Don't mind if I do." He muttered, setting the redhead on the nearest bed and swiped the clipboard from the nurse and signed him in. For the first time in his life, he wanted to be the childish one and stick out his tongue at the nurse. Maybe even blow her a raspberry while walking out the door. Heck, she deserved it for believing his load of lies and being so stinking nosy.
Of course, Kai held his tongue. Though, his smirk still graced his face. "KAI!" As Kai stepped out of the nurse's office and closed the door he heard a girl shriek out his name, obviously mad. Slowly, his head turned to his right and there… stood his doom. There, standing a mere 6 feet away was Akina. Akina had long blond hair that reached her mid-back and purple streaks running from the middle all the way down and her eyes were a bright pink. Dark purple colored glasses were slowly sliding down the bridge of her nose and her hair was put up into pigtails. The pigtails swung slightly, letting him know that she had recently been running. "Oh, Hey Akina." Kai said coolly. Akina frowned, her hands on her hips and leaning forward slightly. "What do you mean, "Oh Hey"?! I've been looking for you all over the school!!" She shouted, scolding Kai. "Well Tala fell down the stairs and got himself unconscious, so I took him to the nurse." Akina huffed. "Well, you're late for class Mister! Come on, move it!" She began pushing Kai towards class. "Hey!" He protested slightly. Being pushed was something he didn't like. "Come on, buddy. Time to go to class." Kai snorted. "I'm going. Sheesh…" Akina. Akina was a girl he helped out 2 years ago from these bullies that found her snooping in places she wasn't supposed to. And after saving her hide he didn't disagree to being friends with her. Why? Because he wanted to get out of there since his stomach felt like butterflies were bouncing off the walls in there and said the first thing that came to mind, which happened to be a grunt. Akina was also a Journalist for the paper, so it was natural for her to be nosy and intelligent. She, unfortunately for Kai, was also a loudmouth and didn't enjoy backing down. And that was the main reason for her little incident with the school's idiots… Ahem, bullies.
Back with the unconscious Tala in the nurse's office: He was laying there peacefully and the Nurse, Nurse Johnson, decided to go down and get a drink of coffee 5 minutes after the redhead had been left on the bed. So she went out, thinking he would be all right, but what she didn't even think of counting on was the fact about the supposed spirit. Not that she knew about it anyway... Time ticked away on the old clock the nurse had next to her computer in the room. And, slowly but surely, did the room start to get cold. A thin layer of ice graced the tiled floors once more and Tala's head rolled to the side. His body knew the original temperature of the school and wasn't used to it being so cold so soon. So his body tried warming itself up. Icicles slowly formed from the ceiling and the water in a glass cup placed near by, broke and the half frozen water spilled over, some of the frozen bits crashed on the floor. Tala's face twisted, displeased by the sudden cold temperature, and he rolled to his side. For some reason, the nurse nor Kai put him under the covers, so it was colder to him than it would be if he were under the covers. The air twisted around in a spiral, a sphere with a trailing tail was there after the wind spiral disappeared.
The blanket was tugged out from under Tala extremely gently, then placed over him. The slight shivering of his body stopped and unconsciously he grabbed the blanket, muttering a "Thanks,". "Your welcome," A feminine voice echoed out in a hushed tone. An invisible voice brushed the long bang out of his face. At that time, Nurse Johnson came walking back with a cup pf coffee in hand. Sighing, Nurse Johnson attempted to open the door... Then again, I did say attempted. She furrowed her brows when she couldn't open the door, remembering she didn't lock the door either. The nurse then proceeded to try to look through the window, but couldn't because it had fogged up. Again, Nurse Johnson tried opening the door. She started to get panicked and franticly attempted opening the door, calling out Tala's name a few times. Also thinking that the small racket might wake up Tala. The cup dropped and shattered when it hit the ground, the hot liquid splashed out and spread out on the floor quickly. The nurse fled down the hall. While back in the frozen clinic, Anyone in the room would be able to see the breathes of anyone living... But, also the breathe of someone not there. Imprints of paws turning into human feet made a path over to Tala's bedside. A soft pressure was put on Tala's shoulder. Slowly, a see-through hand began to appear, stopping at the wrist. The hand was extremely pale, and slowly began appearing, one finger at a time. The door handle jiggled, the hand flinched and removed itself, fading away as it did. Almost being kicked off it's hinges, the door flew open once again. The ice that literally covered the room had no time to dissolve. And in the doorway stood the nurse and a few other teachers. The teachers stood there, looking around the room in complete shock and awe. The whole room had been completely covered in ice. "Nurse, please tell me turned the temperature down... way down," A different teacher pleaded, looking around the room. "Unfortunately, no..." The nurse replied. The nurse ran to check on Tala while the others investigated the room. The computer had been frozen solid, and the machines were broken. Tala was fine, nothing seemed wrong with him at all. But when Nurse Johnson pulled back to cover a bit to make sure, her mouth opened in slight shock.
Curled up next to Tala, was a small black fox with a white tipped tail. "Tala..." Someone's voice, defiantly female's, bounced off the walls. Everyone in the room just thought it was a fly flying by their ear. Tala grunted... Not to long after, Tala had been awakened. His body was used to the cold temperature of the room. His sapphire-blue eyes, dull and dazed, stared straight at Nurse Johnson. "Wh-what? Where am I?" Stuttered the confused red-head as he rubbed his head in confusion. "Your in the Nurse's office. Come on, let's get you up." The unmatching golden eyes of the small fox looked up at them, then it pounced on Tala's stomach. "Hey!" Tala protested, grabbing the scruff of the fox's fur. He sat up, hoisting the black fur ball up. It's claws caught onto his clothes and refused to let go. Frowning, he let go of the kit, letting it climb up his shirt and position itself over his shoulder. (A/N: My kitten does that.) Tala left the fluff on his shoulder alone, knowing what to do with it after he got out of the Nurse's... But that began to make him think for a second. The nurse and the teachers stared. The red-head rubbed his eyes, then took a look around the room. Blue eyes widened as he looked around. "Did hell freeze over?" Tala asked, in a dry sarcastic way. The Nurse frowned at him, "Tala, we do not allow the kind of language here!" She fumed. Tala snorted, he never did like the nurse... "Actually Tala, we thought you might know." Another teacher spoke up. Tale thought for a moment, then shrugged. "I don't even know how I got here." He began to pet the little black head of the fox. Tala heard it begin to purr softly. "I don't even know how this thing got in the bed."
The staff sighed, disappointed. "Well, put it outside and get to class. I'll email your teacher." Nurse Johnson sighed, getting up and attempted to defrost the computer. Tala snickered, leaving the room with a visitor on his shoulder. But then he began to think... What happened? Tala stared at the ground intently, a stare enough to burn a hole threw the floor... 'Oh that's right, I blacked out after the hole 'getting-pushed-out-of-the-way-by-an-invisible-force-and-a-kid-running-by-seconds-later' thing,' Tala thought, 'Kai must've brought me here, and knowing the nurse... he had to make up a story as to why I was knocked out.' Tala sighed. "Hopefully, it wasn't a stupid one." "Talking to yourself? You must've hit your head pretty hard." Tala's head snapped to the side in a split second, seeing Kai standing there. "So that's the story you came up with." Tala said, Kai rolled his eyes. "You know that Nurse is nuts and nosy." Kai replied. "True." Kai walked over, poking the black fuzz that occupied Tala's shoulder. "What the hell is that?" "A fox. It was in the bed with me in the frozen clinic." Tala gruffed. Kai straightened up, "Wait, frozen?" Tala nodded. "It was covered in ice; Completely covered in ice."
Tala explained the conditions of the room while walking down the stairs of the school with Kai following him, curious and wanting to know what happened in the room. Unfortunately for Kai, Tala was low in the 'what the hell happened' section. "So, you have no earthly idea on what happened?" Kai asked, beginning to rack his brain on how it could possibly happen. "No, I just woke up and the room was like a freezer." Tala sighed. "... Man... you must sleep hard." Kai replied, receiving a glare from Tala. They reached the outside school grounds and Tala put the fox down. "Get going you fuzz ball." Tala ordered, the fox sat there, but stood an walked off after it received the order. "Wow," Kai said with fake enthusiasm, "You should be an animal trainer!" Tala growled at Kai, "And you need to shut up and shove a stick up your ass!" Tala fumed while making his way inside. "Oh, haha... Really funny Tala..." Kai sneered, following Tala...
