Chapter 5: History

Keme nodded at Thorns and went to the other driver, he'd managed to pull himself out of the car but upon closer inspection he wasn't that great either, Keme put his arm over her shoulder and began following after Thorns.

Thorns found a small clinic and ruched in with Katelyn. "This girl needs immediate attention! She is bleeding out badly!" he exclaimed to the lady at the front desk. She nodded before taking Katelyn to a bed to patch her up. I made it just in time before the seal broke. Thorns thought exhausted as he plopped down in a waiting chair.

A few minutes later Keme walked in with the man from the other car, he apparently had a broken leg and dislocated shoulder, but he didn't seem to be bleeding anywhere.

Katelyn was brought immediately to the Emergency Room. The pain was unbearable. It seemed she had broken a rib, crushed her left foot, and was bleeding out heavily.

Keme waited with Thorns in the lobby worriedly.

"Keme," Thorns sighed as he looked at her with his ice blue eyes "I may as well tell you who I am and my past with it. My full name is Thorns Rose Espinosa, the unknown survivor of the Espinosa family murder seven years ago on my birthday."
He looked depressed upon mentioning this. "My dad and uncle had much political power and planned on creating the element act, allowing Elements like us to be open about who we are in public."

Keme's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at him and smiled sadly when he paused, putting a hand on his. "You don't have to tell me about it if you don't want to. But I'll listen if you do."

Thorns smiled slightly, "Thank you. After the accident, my survival was kept a secret and I was put into a foster home in Queens. I stayed there for about two years before I met Emily. The evil that consumed her is what gave me the black scar on my right eye, and I was moved to another foster home here in NYC. I was 15 when I ended up hurting someone I deeply care about. That's when I started secluding myself from others and hiding my emotions. I took up kickboxing at that time and I convinced my current foster parents to let me live in my apartment. I managed to get out of high school with an extremely high GED. Up until today, I felt completely alone."

Keme looked at him sadly and put a hand on his shoulder. "You don't have to be alone... I know what it's like... and I wouldn't wish it on anyone..."

Thorns looked at her, "You're a good person with a heart of gold. Reminds me of mom when she was still alive, but I must stop living in the past."

Keme blushed softly and looked down. "I wouldn't say that..." She said sadly as he said she had a heart of gold.

Thorns smiled. "Its true. You really seem like a good person. Anyways, we should get the others over here. They need to know about Emily," he said as he went back to his almost emotionless tone of voice "Go ahead and text James while I check on Katelyn."
With that Thorns stood up and went to the front desk to ask about Katelyn.

Keme looked at him and nodded softly, pulling out her phone and texting him to meet them at the hospital.

"Who brought in Katelyn?" The doctor asked the room, "as you can now go in and see her."
