When Kelly woke up, it was the following morning. She rolled over in her bed and…

She sat straight up. She didn't have a bed – not with the Fosters, at least.

Almost immediately it hit her. She remembered going over to Sarah's the day before to visit. She had only just heard of Sarah's seizure and wanted to be sure her girlfriend was okay. She remembered meeting Sarah's grandparents and being at the dinner table when they announced they were going to let Sarah stay with Jenny.

She remembered leaving shortly after dinner and then running into her mother. She had gotten into the car with Sarah and drove with her mother to check out the new house.

She remembered believing Sarah had a seizure and then… nothing after that. It was all a blur.

Seeing Sarah wasn't in the room with her, Kelly jumped out of bed and raced for the door, only to find it was locked. She tried again, but she couldn't pull the door open. She beat her fist into it.

"Sarah! Sarah!"

The door opened almost immediately and her mother walked in with a tray of pancakes, "Good morning, sunshine."

"Where is Sarah?" Kelly asked and tried to leave the room, but her mother stood in her way.

"Breakfast?"

"Did Sarah have a seizure? Did Jenny come get her? Did the ambulance come?"

"Sarah left, honey," her mother said.

"Is she okay?"

"She's fine. Would you like some breakfast? Chocolate chip?"

"I have to see her," Kelly shook her head. "I need to know she's okay."

"Kelly, she's fine. Jenny came by to pick her up last night."

"You… You're sure?"

"Positive." Her mother set the tray of pancakes down on Kelly's desk, then walked back to the door. "Just relax, sweetheart. Have a little breakfast and get used to your new room. Don't even think about Sarah, right now."

"But…"

"I love you, honey." Her mother walked out and as soon as she closed the door, Kelly heard it lock again. Her heart froze as she raced for the door to try and open it, but she couldn't. She banged on it several times but to no avail.

Slowly, it sank in. Slowly, Kelly realized what her mother was trying to do. She had heard her parents discuss this before she had come out. Whenever the issue of what would you do if your child was gay came up, her parents always responded with "Set them straight; by any means".

She backed away from the door with a look of terror on her face.

"Oh god. Oh god, no."

Right outside the room, Kelly's mother placed the key to the lock in her pocket and then made her way down the hall, where she could hear more pounding coming from the closet. She shook her head and pressed the button on her remote before she opened the closet door. Sarah lay inside.

"You need to stop making so much noise," she said and Sarah grumbled in response. Kelly's mother pressed the button on her remote again, causing Sarah to twitch as the dog collar around her neck shocked her. "I'd really like to avoid another seizure. I think two in one night is more than enough, don't you?"

Sarah glared at Kelly's mother, who only chuckled. "I promise you, Kelly is safe here with me. She's up in her room, enjoying a hot stack of chocolate chip pancakes. I'll bet you can smell them from here. And as soon as you promise to leave and never go near by daughter again, I can let you go."

Sarah muttered something, so Kelly's mom shocked her again.

"You're really not as smart as she said you were," she said. "If I were you, I'd be less concerned with mouthing off, and more concerned with that fact that the woman you claim is your girlfriend hasn't even come looking for you. All that banging on the door and she still hasn't found you? I guess that means she just doesn't care."

Sarah said something under the duct tape. This time, instead of shocking her, Kelly's mother knelt before her.

"Kelly heard your pounding all night and left you in here. She doesn't want you anymore. She knows you led her astray."

Sarah shook her head and seemed to refuse to believe anything Kelly's mother said, so she was shocked again and the twitching didn't stop when Kelly's mother stepped out of the closet and locked the door.

She returned to the kitchen to do the dishes and when she finished, she made her way back up to Kelly's room. It was just in time too as she heard glass shattering from inside. She fumbled with the key to unlock the door but by the time she got it open, the bedroom inside was empty. The chair next to the desk was gone, and so was Kelly.

"Dammit!" she shouted and raced out into the hallway and straight for the front door. She peered out the window and saw her daughter pushing herself back up to her feet and limping across the lawn.

"Kelly!" she called out as she opened the door. Kelly glanced over her shoulder.

"Where is Sarah?"

"She left," her mother said. "Come back inside! It looks like you hurt yourself!"

Her mother wasn't wrong. Kelly's leg hurt badly. Though the cast was off and she was only wearing a boot, Kelly's leg was still recovering from when it had been crushed when the school collapsed. She knew jumping from a second story window would put herself at a big risk for reinjuring it, but if her suspicions were right, she couldn't just sit in her bedroom and wait for a better plan.

"Where is Sarah?" she shouted then as soon as her mother appeared to step off the patio, she turned to run. She couldn't risk her mother locking her up again.

"Dammit," her mother said as she watched Kelly. She slammed the door shut, knowing that if she ran after her daughter, she couldn't play innocent. No teenager liked it when their parents dragged them back home kicking and screaming.

Kelly would likely be going to get help. Kelly's mother wasn't sure how much time she would have, but she knew if she wanted to appear innocent, she would have to get rid of all the evidence. She headed to the front hall closet and unlocked the door. Sarah didn't appear conscious.

"This would be much easier if you were here to help, Kent," she muttered as she grabbed Sarah by the arms and dragged her out to the car. Fortunately, her neighbours were all at work, as it was the middle of the week, though she was sure to keep an eye out for any stay-at home moms or shift workers.

-Ninja-Steel-

Kelly nearly crumbled as she made it to the back of the school. It was being rebuilt and so there were workers around. She needed to be careful as she found the back entrance to the secret base. Her legs were jell-o and her heart was ready to give out, but she had to keep pushing.

She stumbled over the fan blades as she entered the base and panted loudly, alerting the others of her arrival. As she had hoped, they were all in the base getting ready for training, and, as fate would have it, they were wondering why Sarah hadn't shown up yet.

"Help," she breathed out as she fell to her knees. Hayley rushed to her side, kneeling next to her. "Help... You… you have to help."

"What happened?" Hayley asked. Kelly took a minute to catch her breath.

"Sarah… Sarah had… she had a seizure," Kelly said. "We were at mom's and… the cookies tasted funny."

That detail came to her as she spoke. She and Sarah had both eaten a cookie. Sarah's seizure started almost immediately after that and Kelly remembered also feeling very out of it after a couple of bites.

"You were at whose mom's?" Hayley asked. Preston brought over a glass of water.

"My mom's. She's back," Kelly sipped the water. "My bedroom was locked. I jumped… I ran… FUCK!"

She fell from all fours onto her butt as a jolting pain shot through her leg. Though her heart was still racing, it seemed the adrenaline was wearing off.

"You were with your mom?" Calvin asked. "Like, watched her husband kick you out, that mom?"

"She told me Sarah was fine but she locked the door," Kelly nodded. She knew she wasn't making sense. She knew this was confusing to the others, but she was doing her best to get her words out.

"She locked which door?" Hayley asked.

"She locked me in my bedroom. Sarah had a seizure and when I woke up, I was locked in my room."

"Sarah had a seizure and you blacked out?" Levi asked. Kelly shook her head, then nodded.

"Yes!"

"Kelly, were you here?" RedBot asked as he came over with a map and pointed to a pink dot. Kelly examined the map and tried to remember the way her mother took to get to the house. Finally, she nodded her head.

"That's mom's house."

"Sarah's there," RedBot said.

"It doesn't sound like we have time to piece this story together," Mick said. "Rangers, go make a house call. See if you can't find Sarah. Once we know she's safe, we'll figure out what happened."

"I want to come," Kelly said and tried to stand, but collapsed as soon as she tried to put weight on her foot. Preston and Hayley caught her.

"You're going to have to stay here," Hayley said. "You can't even stand."

"Sarah had a seizure and if mom locked me in my room, god knows what she did for Sarah. I need to come. Please."

"You'll stay with me," Mick said and put his arm under Kelly to hold her up. "RedBot, you keep track of Sarah's Power Star. Let us know if it moves or if anything unusual pops up."

"On it."

"Please morph," Kelly begged the Rangers. "I know it's not Galvanax but… if something happened, if she needs help."

"We're morphing," Brody promised her and she saw the Rangers take out their Power Stars. Mick gave Kelly a little squeeze as they followed the Rangers out.

RedBot watched them go, but his gaze lingered on Kelly the longest. Given she had been out of breath and how she had collapsed the moment she arrived, he knew she had run to the base. When he glanced at the map, he calculated how far Kelly must have run and was shocked to see she had made it all the way across town, especially on her foot.

He turned to the Nexus Prism and looked to it with a sigh, "There's got to be a way she can help. She's got to be able to do more, right? From the looks of it, the Rangers could use all the help they can get!"
