Chapter 9-Antonio in Kagoshima
Emily rubbed her eyes and groaned in pain. She very slowly opened her tired eyes, the light in the room disturbing. When she opened her eyes, at first it was a blurry view but it came clear in a few seconds. She saw two people over her, looking worried. But why were they worried?
"Huh? Where am I?", Emily said weakly trying to get up when she felt a deep pain on her forehead.
"Mam, you are fine, don't worry!", said one of the ladies sitting there.
Pain?..wait...and then everything came back to her. Mike! washroom! the brush stand! and oh god!
"No! Go away!", Emily shouted as if struggling against an invisible force. The two ladies there tried to stable her but to no avail. Emily was not at all calming down, she was shouting and kicking them, crying together and looked very afraid.
"Mam, we are the hotel staff, what happened? who did this?", one of the ladies asked.
Emily stopped listening this. The hotel staff?...oh no the mission. She gulped looking at them, no matter how devastated her mental state was at that time, she had to protect the mission as well as her identity from them. She thought of an excuse to make, but in a situation like this, it was hard to find an excuse.
"Oh...um...I am sorry", she said gaining some more time to think.
"Why are you sorry mam? Tell us what happened?"
"Oh..um...you know when I entered the room, I felt dizzy, then..um..I-I realized that I had...um...I had forget to take my medicines this morning...you-you know important medicines, and then my head started spinning, the va-vase shattered and...um...I-I went to the washroom to wash my face...and um..I-I saw a lizard...I didn't know what to do and I broke the brush stand...and...um...before I knew I hit the wall...and um...I guess you know the rest", Emily said shrugging and smiling, "I am sorry!"
The staff was shocked listening to this. It took them some time to digest the information but they came back to reality once they understood the entire scene.
"It's okay mam, you rest, shall we call a doctor?", one of the ladies smiled and said.
"No it's okay, I guess I am fine now...till Mike returns...and I will pay for the damage", Emily replied happy that they believed the lie and a bit guilty of causing the damage.
"Mam, you don't need to pay anything, it was an accident, but I am afraid you need to change your room so that this can be repaired, so here is the new key and please shift once you are comfortable and the pain is reduced", the other lady replied sweetly handing her a new key and pointing towards her forehead. It was then Emily realized that her forehead was covered in layers of bandage, the damage Mike caused. It even hurt her now to call his name.
Emily took the key card and thanked them. Once the ladies were at the door she called them and then asked,"By the way, how long have I been out and how did you open the door?"
One of them replied and said,"Mam, it took you 12 hours to wake up and yeah we heard some sounds from you room and we banged for a long time. After no response we were forced to open the door through the duplicate keys and we found you in the washroom covered in a pool of blood"
"Oh-okay", she said and they left closing the door behind. This meant they didn't see Mike and he had left.
Once Emily was alone in the room she sat on her bed as silence engulfed her. She was now terrified beyond limits. She was all helpless, well sort of actually helpless with a so powerful and evil Mike out there with god knows what reason for killing her. She was crying and she hugged her knees. How badly she wanted to return to the Shiba house, to the safest place she has ever known, to Mia, to Kevin , to Ji, to Antonio, to-to Jayden...wait Jayden? He told her that Antonio is coming and according to what he told he should be here in an hour or so. That means she has to be strong for another hour or so. Emily's eARS were cautious, noticing every sound in the big room, looking for any signs of Mike's return and she was not at all shy to accept that she was very frightened. She did not have the nerve to hurt Mike more, the wound on his biceps still fresh in her mind, how much it hurt her at that moment, irrespective of what Mike was. She wanted to call Jayden but she didn't have the courage to explain it all. She just had a single way now...waiting for Antonio to arrive.
Emily got up and moved to search for her zord which had tried to save her, how loyal it was. She found it deactivated near the sofa. She picked it up carefully in her hands and put it besides the bear zord which too was found by her on the ground. Surely Mike didn't recognize it. She took her bag, her feet trembling and her heart throbbing, hung it over her shoulder and packing all her items closed the door of room number 101 after leaving it, never to return. She was now on 3rd floor at room number 304. She opened it and found that it was just as grand as the previous one, but it looked lonely with only Emily there. How much she wanted Mike to be there. Her heart was broken two times on a single day, one time by Jayden accepting that he never loved her and second time by Mike, attacking her so ruthlessly. Two of her best friends against her, why was God so merciful on her?
Emily was again crying, she was afraid that once again Mike would come out of nowhere and attack her and she would not be able to fight back. Her phone rang while she was thinking all this stuff.
"Hello", she picked up after around 6 rings.
"Mam, have you shifted?"
"Ye-yeah, I am yes, and can you please call me first if anyone wishes to meet me?"
"Of course mam, we will, and please feel free to call if you feel dizzy again or you face any problems"
"Thank you"
She hung up and sat looking into nothingness and waiting for Antonio to arrive, to solve all her problems, to bring back her Mike and take them back to the Shiba House.
After an hour or so, Emily's telephone in the room rang. She was sitting on the bed numb and emotionless. No particular thought in her mind. Not wanting to sleep but tired. She picked it up and without any emotion said,"Hello?"
"Mam, sorry to disturb you, but we have a visitor for you?"
Emily's eyes widened, was it Mike? no!
"Who's that?", she asked in shock.
"He introduced himself as Antonio Garcia, your relative, but may I know the relation please?"
Emily released her breath which she didn't know she was holding and closed her eyes for a moment before replying,"Yes, he is my brother, send him in"
"Sure mam, here sir, you can go", the receptionist replied and Emily heard a thank you from the other end of the phone which was probably Antonio's voice.
She was now relieved, she was safe, at least for now, with Antonio here. A knock came on her door after 5 mins. and she replied again emotionless,"Come in"
And in came Antonio with a warm smile and a duffel bag in his hand.
"Hey chica, how are you?"
He went towards her to hug her very tightly and instantly Emily felt relieved. That was a warm hug, she knew it and it literally felt like home and all her worries left her momentarily.
Emily cried her eyes out once she was in Antonio's arms and this shocked Antonio. He knew that this type of crying only indicated something else, that something has gone wrong, other than what he was already aware of.
He caught hold of Emily's arms and released her from the hug. Emily looked at him and noticed the worry in his eyes.
"What happened?", he asked coking an eyebrow and noticing Emily's wound.
"M-Mike", she replied gulping and crying again.
"Emily, I know Mike is not here, you need to calm down", Antonio said rubbing circles on her back to calm her down.
"No, No, it-it's..", she tried to speak but words escaped her mouth.
"What's wrong hermana, tell me", Antonio asked settling her on the bed and himself crouching in front of her which reminded him of Jayden...how she wanted it to be Jayden in front of her at that moment.
"M-Mike came, Antonio", she blurted out before crying again not able to control herself.
"What?", Antonio asked shocked and she just nodded with red eyes.
"Okay Emily, you need to tell me everything and that too in detail", he said while taking a chair and sitting in front of her.
And Emily started explaining everything that happened, how she struggled against Mike's grip, how Mike's eyes changed color, how the evil smirk never left his face and how ruthlessly he crashed her head onto the washroom's wall and she was out for 12 hours. She cried again once the explanation was over and Antonio tried to calm her down with his one hand around her shoulder and a worried expression on his face.
"Shhh-shhh, it's okay...calm down", he said.
"What are we gonna do now?", she asked in between her cries.
"Firstly we should tell the others so that Ji could tell us something if this is related to the nighlocks and I will activate the zords again, you don't need to worry about that, okay?", he said smiling at her.
Emily gave him a warm short smile but a genuine one. He again crouched in front of her and said,"Believe me Emily, no one and I mean no one is gonna hurt you again till I am here, don't worry, I will protect you with my life, this is a brother's promise"
And he took her hand in his and gave it a warm squeeze before taking his samuraizer and calling Ji to inform what all happened. But Emily's mind trailed to some other place. The promise Antonio made moments ago reminded her of certain words that came out of someone's mouth during one of the battles.
"Don't worry, I will protect you"
Jayden had said when the dirt hit him while he was trying to protect her and Emily sighed remembering it.
Antonio came back to her after 15 mins and said,"I have informed Ji, he is searching the archives for any clue, so we will have to wait, and...um...Jayden was not at home. He is at the Tengen gate for some work so I guess we will have to inform him separately"
"I can't", Emily said while shaking her head.
"Emily, listen, he's not gonna believe a single word if he won't listen it from your mouth and we are not exactly on good terms"
"What do you mean?"
"Nevermind, forget it, just a small disagreement, but please have a talk with him", Antonio insisted.
Emily gulped and released her breath and finally said,"Okay I will"
She took her phone and went to the balcony while Antonio went to reactivate the zords.
It was night in Kagoshima, and the city ahead of her was shining. She smiled looking at it and wished that wherever Mike was now, he should be safe and most importantly alive. She didn't want to lose him. She now took her phone and opened the contact that said,"Jay"
She dialed the number and he picked up the phone after two rings.
"Hello, Em?"
"Jay..." and she broke down again.
"Em, what happened? Why are you crying?"
"Jay...M-Mike.."
"Mike what?", Jayden was now restless.
"Mike came"
And Jayden's eyes went wide while Emily broke down again.
