Chapter 7: The Calm That Awoke A Storm
[I see you're finally awake again] said Scotty quietly as you slowly opened your eyes. {Was he here the whole time I was out?} you thought as you stared at the brown haired boy in front of you. But something was urging you to look at your wound. As you looked down towards your wound you saw that a small amount of blood had oozed onto the bandage that was wrapped from your chest to your stomach. {Great. Just great. The would opened}. You now felt weaker then you did when you woke up the first time. And your stomach now felt as if it was going to explode. But you just turned your stare to the ceiling ignoring the pain. But staring at the whiteness of the ceiling soon grew boring. Turning your attention to Scotty, you saw that he was sitting there reading a piece of paper. Through the back of the paper you could see that it was a letter from the BBA. But what would that be about? Something stupid probably. You then noticed something weird about your bed. The covers on your bed were black and silver. You stared at them confused for a long time. {I'm not in a hospital?} you thought knowing how much they loved white. You then turned your gaze to the paintings on the walls. {And no way would a hospital have paints} you thought as you continued to scan the room. [Where am I?] you asked suddenly now back to examining your bed. Scotty looked at you weirdly before looked back down at his paper. [Well at the moment, you're in a bed] he answered not taking his eyes off the paper. You just glared at him. You wanted and answer. A real answer. Finally he stopped reading the paper to look at your glare. For a couple of minutes you two just stared at each other. Well you glared. He sighed and finally said. [You're in the BBA building.] you looked at he weirdly before asking. [And why would I be in the BBA building?] [Everyone has a regular room here which everyone is staying in before the Japan competitions, and a hospital room in case they get injured during the battles and need to rest before heading to China.] he said placing the piece of paper down. For a while you both stayed silent. Scotty had nothing else to say, and you were thinking about everything he had said. [Could you take me to me regular room?] you finally asked looking him in the eyes. [Why do you want to go to your regular room?] he asked looking at you weirdly. [This place reminds me too much of a hospital] you said you stated looking at the white walls. Scotty stared at you for a long time before finally saying yes, since he remembered your fear of hospitals. Slowly Scotty placed his one hand under your knees and the other under your back.[Now we have to go throw the waiting room. And I warn you everyone is in there] Scotty said as he walked down a long narrow hall way. You just nodded your head as you slowly came closer to a room. As you neared you could tell that the room was light blue, and just as Scotty had said, everyone was in there. Silence fell over the room as everyone stared at you and Scotty. {They don't seem very happy} you thought looking over at your team to see most of them glaring at you. Jess looked as if she could kill while Devin looked at you in a way just telling you he doesn't approve that you're out of bed. Then Mike... Well Mikes just Mike. Team F.I.N.E and Zatknjisj just looked happy to see you. While the others just looked stunned. Slowly Scotty walked to the middle of the room heading for the door on the other side. All eyes followed your every move. But before Scotty could make it half way, you were sent toppling out of his hands. Out of reflex, you quickly threw your hands down and flipped to land safely on your left knee and right foot. A roaring pain went coursing through your body as you stayed crouched down just waiting for the room to stop spinning. [WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT FOR!] you heard Scotty scream as you looked at him. Three other Scotty's also spun around him as you tried to focus. [She deserves everything she got] Jess hissed glaring at you. You just stayed there staring at the multiple Jess's spinning in front of you. [She was hurt!] Scotty cried as he slowly started to grip his hands into fists. [She seems to be fine. If she could flip herself, she can get her ass up and walk on her own] Jess sneered again glaring at you. And again you just stared at the spinning Jess's in front of you. But not Scotty this time. He had had enough of Jess's crap. He quickly turned and punched her right in the nose. A quick gush of blood flooded from her nose as she quickly threw her hands up to her face in a attempt to stop the flow. [Will you tell me what the heck she did that was so bad that you would slap her then hit her when she was just shot!] Scotty screamed not even caring about the river of blood streaming down her face. Your dizziness now got even worse as you sat down bringing your knees up, and leaned back. But you didn't end up leaning on a wall which was what you were hopping for. You were leaning on someone legs. But at the moment you could care less. Jess glared at Scotty with so much hatred that it looked like she probably could have killed him. [I'm her best friend] she whispered in a deadly tone. She quickly glanced at you before looked back at Scotty with an even worse glare. [I'm the one that's always been there for her.] she lowered her head so her bangs were covering her eyes. [And you just randomly show up here. But you get to see her before me or Devin or Mike.] she now started to raise her voice. [I don't care if you are her boyfriend! She choose you over me!] Jess was now screaming and everyone was just staring at Scotty wide eyed as Scotty stared as Jess wide eye. She then turned to you and shouted [I THOUGHT I WAS YOUR BEST FRIEND AND YOU PICK HIM OVER ME!]. Silence fell over the room waiting for your response. But you didn't feel like giving her one. Sighing you decided that you better say something. [You don't remember Scotty, do you?] you muttered weakly. Jess just glared at you then screamed [IVE NEVER MET HIM BEFORE]. You would have smacked her if you could have. But at the moment you didn't even have enough strength to answer her. After a couple of minutes without and answer, Jess became even more enraged. [JUST ADMIT HES YOUR BOYFRIEND!] she screamed pointing a finger at Scotty. Scotty glared at her warning that if she didn't put her hand down soon, he would break her finger off. [Umm... He's not Megs boyfriend] came a voice from in front of you breaking the strange tension in the air. Slowly you looked up to see two whirling Tyson's sitting on the couch. [How the heck would you know] Jess seethed now glaring at him. You stared at Tyson wondering the same thing. He must have been around five the last time he had seen Scotty, so how is it that he remembers and Jess doesn't? [Because he's Chris's brother] Tyson said glaring right back at her. Jess just glared at him even more. [And that means...?] she hissed. Everyone in the room just stared at her like she was nuts. You mentally shook your head as Scotty stared at her as if she was on crack. And at the moment you wouldn't have doubted it. [It means that Scotty's Megs cousin] Mike said with a sigh. Jess turned to look at him but quickly turned back to Scotty still glaring. [Well I don't believe anything that Tyson has to say. He doesn't know anything about his sister.] she growled as she tried to wipe away some of the blood that was still streaming down her face, but more just poured out. Looking at Tyson you could tell that he was hurt by her comment. But it was true. You were surprised that he knows your name some days. {Damn drama} you thought mental shaking your head. Just then you felt someone pick you up bridal style. It was the person whose legs who you had been resting on. Slowly you turned your head to see Tala's cold blue eyes staring straight in front of him as he headed for the door Scotty was taking you to. [Tala where are you going?] asked Mike. [Taking Meg away from this bullshit] Tala stated calmly as he continued towards the door. Everyone just silently watched as you and Tala disappeared around the corner of the door silently walked through the twist and turns of the BBA halls as he headed towards god knows where. Every turn he took, the more the pain in your stomach grew worse and worse. It had been a while since you had laid down. And being thrown down to the floor didn't help the pain any. Finally Tala stopped in front of a black door that had your name printed on it in silver. Without hesitating he reached for the handle and opened the door. In he walked closing the door behind him. The room looked exactly the same as the one back at the blader house you had spent time at just a few months ago. Except everything that was red, is now a rich electric blue. Other then that, just a few minor details were different. Tala headed towards your bed and quickly set you down. The minute you hit the covers you curled up into a little ball and started to rock back and forth in an attempt to dull the massive amounts of pain you were now feeling. Tala stood there looking at you for a long while. It looked as if he was debating with himself about something. But he suddenly turned and started to head for the door. But before he could take three steps you grabbed his hand and whispered [Don't leave me alone. Please]. Tala just looked at you for a long minute before he slowly walked around to the other side of the bed. He sat on the other side looking stiff and uncomfortable. You just continued to rock back and forth in pain. Suddenly Tala pulled you towards him and rested your head on his lap. With his right hand he slowly rubbed your back in an attempt to numb the pain. Which worked. The pain slowly started to melt away as you became more relaxed. Slowly you started to drift off to sleep. [I was worried about you Meg] Tala said as you were just about to nod off. You quickly snapped back as you waited for him to continue. [I truly thought you were going to die this time] he continued a couple minutes later. [Its not that easy to get rid of me] you whispered as you stared at the black door directly in front of you. [Good thing] Tala whispered lowly making you think that he didn't really want you to hear what he had said. A long strange silence fell over the room since you and Tala had nothing else to say.[Why didn't you tell me about the letter you got] Tala said suddenly. After a long pause you finally asked, [What letter?]. You could hear Tala sigh irritable. Quickly he reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper. [Danger is coming for your friends my dear wolf. Don't try to deny something that has been coming for a long time. This is something you cant change. And this time nothing will be able to save them. Not even you will stop us this time. We will be getting what we desire this time. Then the same fate will fall on each and every person that is dear to you. Just like... Oh you know who. The one that you couldn't save last time. What a bad friend you are. Letting someone die like that. Just standing there watching their life fade away. How could you stand the look in her eyes? Blood will be on your hands again soon, my little wolf, my dark guardian. It is in your blood after all.] he read angrily the note that you had received not that long ago. Your eyes widened in shock. {How did he get that letter? I left that in my pants pocket!} you thought as you franticly went through everyone that could have found the letter. But why would they have given it to Tala? [Why didn't you tell me about this? Why didn't you tell anyone about this?] Tala asked again his voice now demanding. You stayed silent. You didn't want to bring anyone else into this. It was enough that Jess, Devin, Mike, Scotty, and Chris were in it. [Meg tell me] Tala said turning your head so you were facing him. [You didn't need to know] you said lowly refusing to look in his eye. [I didn't need to know? Your life is in danger!] he shouted grabbing your chin and forcing you to look at him. [They don't want me dead] you whispered still not looking him in his eyes but instead focusing on his hair. [Then who do you they want dead?] Tala growled. You now look in his eyes and said [Everyone that my life touches.] you whispered sadly. He looked at you puzzled. [What do you mean?] he questioned dropping his grip on your chin. [They want to hurt me by killing my friends and family] you said as you rolled on your back and stared at the ceiling. [Is that why they shot Adam?] he asked lowly shocked by what was going on. [No. They don't want him dead either.] you said sadly. [Then why did they shoot him?] Tala asked confusion clear in his voice. [He wasn't suppose to come near me] you said lowly your gaze falling back to the Russian. Another silence washed over the room.
[Did anyone tell you what happened to Adam?] Tala asked back to rubbing your back since you had rolled over again. [Ya] you whispered lowly. But before Tala could ask another question the door came flying open. Tala quickly but gently placed your head on the pillow next to him and pushed himself as far away from you as he could. You smirked inwardly as you focused on who was coming in the door. You smirked outwardly when you saw that it was Eric and Mark. Mark sat on the bed by your feet as Eric stood next to him. [Wow you missed a pretty good fight] Mark said as he reached his hand into his pocket and started to fish around for something. [Scotty, Jess, and Tyson are all in different rooms being cleaned up] Mark said as he pulled out a cell phone and three wrenches. [They got into a fight once you left] Eric explained as he looked at Mark in shame. [Ya. Jess has a broken nose. Scotty banged his head on the table and cut it open. Then Tyson just got the crap beat out of him] Mark continued as he pulled out a flashlight and five pens. He sighed and continued his search. {What the heck is he looking for?} you thought looking at him weirdly. [Ya and it was all about you] Mark said as he finally found what he was looking for. Out he pulled a black iPod nano. [Scotty asked me to give this to you. He said you forgot it back in the US] Mark said as he stood up and walked towards the door. You smirked and nodded a good bye towards the guys. The nodded back and left you alone with Tala again. Quickly you slipped the ear buds in your ear. Turning the hold button off you turned on Shuffle Songs and turned the volume up half way. Anatomy Of A Tidal Wave by Cold started to play. Before the song had even played half way someone had stolen your left ear piece and stuck it in their ear. Looking over you saw that Tala was now only and inch away listening with you.A couple more songs later the door opened and in walked a very happy Sully. You looked at him weirdly as he stared at you and Tala weirdly. [What are you so happy about] you asked as you took out your ear piece. Tala did the same and you shut off your iPod. [Its Adam] Sully said as he walked to the side of your bed. [Is he ok?] you asked as you quickly sat up. Which caused another wave of dizziness, but you just pushed that out of your thoughts. You then swung your feet to the side of the bed. [He's fine. He's awake and he asked to see you] Sully said as he quickly walked out of the room. Joy filled you as you sprang from the bed. You completely ignored your dizziness and pain as you headed down the hall Tala close behind. You were so overjoyed that your brother was wake that you almost ran into someone standing by his door. Looking over to see who it was you blood ran cold. {Not now. I don't need this now!}
