Hi guys I updated so quick because I really wanted to get this of my head and to you awsome peps. Now I rewrite the last line time don't really know why but enjoy. Oh and sit back relax its a long chapter.
Chapter 7: Thing are shaping up...
Donald's POV
"Tasha." I say walking out of the door frame. "You might want to see this."
I lead Tasha up to the bed Chase had rested on the day before he was taken.
I show her the cuts all down his back and the blood that staines his body. I gently roll him over and I also show the black eyes, nose bleed signs and then how he hasn't been fed and chances are if he wakes he couldn't even eat he looks so weak. He'd have to be force fed.
"Donald this is terrible!" Tasha exclaims wanting to hug her step-son. "We can help him can't we?"
I nod then explain. "The chances are we can but it's not guaranteed. The main problem is he was exposed to a highly toxic gas which could damage his brain, muscles and bionics. Also the problem is this will effect his behaviour when he awakes and his condition could affect other things you wouldn't expect it to."
She walks out to go fetch her first aid kit and insists I tell the others.
I walk back down to the kids and they all stand up.
"Is he okay?" Bree asks.
"Yes and no." I say before anyone else asks. "He's alive but not stable. I would take him to the hospital but his chip would put him in more danger. He has been severely torchured and exposed to a toxic gas. We also have to force feed him because of how weak he is."
"That gas was probably what made him faint in the capsule or death chamber did he call it?" Adam said seriously.
"That would be it. I wish it was possible to find out what it is." There's a pause then Davnport continues. " There's also a high chance that he will be stressed and after going through such a traumatic time that he will feel very uncomfortable around anyone. Oh and I doubt he will be able to see yet."
I know he won't be able to see yet. After sending the kids to bed,I quickly helped Tasha put cream over his slashes and bruises and then attached the tubes that could slowly add food to his system.
We both decide to go to bed now Chase is asleep and were all back. I just hope Chase is okay tonight.
I wake up late at night. There's a loud scream coming from up upstairs. Chase! I step out of my capsule and bang on Adam's because he is in a deep sleep.
"Adam." I hiss. " Chase is in distress we need to go check on him."
As we take the elevator up its clear Chase woke up more than just me. Davenport and Tasha are already in the living room.
"Let me talk to him." Davenport says to Tasha taking a quick glance at us.
Davenport's POV
I go upstairs to see Chase. He is sitting up sweating from a dream or his past. I slowly walk up to him.
"You okay buddy?" I ask.
"Don't come closer." He snaps obviously panicking.
I step backwards then realise his eyes are still gazing ahead. As I suspected not temporary blindness. Chase holds out his hand ruffly in my direction showing he doesn't want me any closer. Again I step back.
"Chase. It's me Davenport. Don't be afraid. I'm not going to hurt you."
"Just don't come close!" Chase shouts then leans back against the back of the bed.
I stand up and walk away slowly. Somehow Chase seems to be traumatised. He was shaking, nervous and unsure what to do. I sat on a nearby desk.
"Chase it's okay your back home now. No one hear means you any harm. We're just here to help."
He moved his head ruffly in my direction and smiled slightly. I decided not to panic him out to much and went down. I filled in the others and sent Adam, Bree and Leo back to bed.
"Let me talk to him." Tasha says. "I know he can't see me but maybe I can comfort him."
It was worth a shot. Anything was after our little adventure.
No POV
Tasha walked into Chase's room. Slowly she approached him but kept her distance. Chase listened to every step.
"Please don't come near me!" He whinned.
Chase started curling up under the sheets. Tasha told Chase soothing things like how it will be okay and that he won't get hurt anymore.. Twitching a bit Chase concentrated hard on listening and sensing movements on Tasha every time she moved. He was still unsure but Tasha didn't seen to mean any harm.
"Who's there?" Chase says building up his confidence.
"It's me." Tasha replies knowing Chase's brain could pick up any voice."
"I'm sorry." Chase whispers. "I don't want to be this way I can't help it."
Tasha slowly nods at him mumbling a 'um hum'. She walks out the room and down to Davenport.
"So?" He asks.
"He seems fine except the fact he's flinchy but he still has the manners of a angel."
"So there is the Chase we all know bellow his timidness. All I know is I've got to build his trust up enough for him to let me find out if I can fix his sight. "
Tasha nods and together they go back to there bedroom
Chase's POV
I don't know why I am all nervous around my family. I always say its fine it's just whoever and then I freak. I just have bad memories. I know have a bullet in my shoulder and there's pain everywhere including my heart.
I can take a good guess that is around half four. No one but me is up. I don't want to go back to sleep to those memories. I wish I could see people. My family. There voices could sooth me. The light would wake me up. I just don't know how to cure myself.
It's later morning. I know it's a Friday and I wish no one went to school. That way I had everyone to comfort me. I feel like I'm 7 again. Scared, cheeky but smart. Someone walks in slowly towards me.
"Mr Davenport?" I whisper.
"Yes Chase."
"Please don't come too close. I don't like it."
He seems to pause, "what ever you want Chase."
I smile, that seems reassuring.
"Don't worry Chase. I won't let anyone harm you." There's a pause before he asks, " How do you feel?"
"Well I don't have the strength but I also don't have as much pain." I lie.
"Thats good to hear." Mr Davenport says obviously falling for it. I don't want anyone worried.
He spent a while with me asking me thing totally of subject like what colour (AN: British Spelling) tie goes with this suit and things he needs to know to help finnish inventions.
"Chase I have stuff to do but I'll come back later."
I nod. I felt more confident around Davenport I just hope the say about the others.
"Guys you need to leave for school now. Go!" Mr Davenport yells at my siblings.
I can't help giggling at them. I normally make sure everyone is out the door at precisely quarter to eight. I guess Mr Davenport can't replace me.
Davenports POV
Tasha walks in then asks me how it went.
"I didn't go near him but he seemed happy to have company. " I tell her cheerfully.
Tasha looked up happily. "That good sweetie. I just hope he'll let you try doing whatever you have to do honey."
"Thanks it's going to take a lot for him to let me be using electronics behind him but It will help him."
I just hope he will let me. If I can fix his damaged wires which have nested with his brain cells then the brain cells can recover thus allowing him to see again. But if I can't more cells could go poof and take away his smarts and all the rest.
Bree's POV
We walk home from school together because gym class was hard for once therefore we were all exhausted. Also I know I wouldn't be allowed to see Chase without the others.
"Do you think he's okay?" Adam asks.
"He'll be fine." Leo says trying to act cool and calm.
I smile and carry on walking until we get to the drive. I super speed to ring the bell.
Davenport answers calmly. "Come in. He's upstairs but don't-"
I didn't listen I flew upstairs to go see my little brother. I ran straight to him and he screamed rolling of the bed.
"Don't come close." He yelled.
I stepped back in shock. Chase never acted this way.
"Don't touch me." He yelled agin being firm shaking like a chihuahua.
Adam, Leo and Mr Davenport run upstairs.
"I was going to say, don't go near him. He's still afraid of what happened. Without his sight you could be anyone to him." Mr Davenport explained. "Now everyone out."
We slowly trudge out and leave Mr Davenport to try and sort out Chase.
Chase's POV
I felt so bad. I upset my sister by accident. Probably my brothers too. I just get scared when someone comes close. Every time he came close it meant more pain. That's all he wanted.
Mr Davnport crouched the other side of the bed.
"I'm going to help you up Chase. Me, Mr Davenport."
He pulls me up and lies me down on my bed. I slowly relax and allow Mr Davenport to sit on my bed.
"Chase, in order to gain your sight back you have to trust me enough to let me fix your chip wires.
I start backing up. Mr Davenport wouldn't hurt me so I should trust him. But a urge in my body said no. I tried thinking and ended out just nodding.
"The wires have been damaged and your super sight has been reversed. It's damaged brain cells to. I can now fix it but you need time to recover. Sight won't just come back. I won't hurt you I promise Chase." He says moving around my bed.
I could hear electronic devices buzzing away. Mr Davenport was ready. I nodded giving him permission to begin but my whole body tensed up. I should trust Mr Davenport shouldn't I. My heart was in my mouth the whole time. I felt like yelling stop but I controlled myself. Something in me was fighting to not lets this happen. I just stayed still and waited for a o-k.
Then there was a small buzzing noise. A
slight banging and he was done. Mr Davenport stepped around me.
"Okay Chase it's all sorted."
"Thank you." I say gratefully wanting to hug him.
"No problem, Chase." Mr Davenport says. "Hows you injures today?"
"Well the pains starting to go and there's a weird tingling feeling where the bullet was. Oh and rolling of the bed that is currently hurts but tell Bree that was my fault for panicking."
Mr Davenport sighs. "Don't worry Chase it's okay. I don't blame you for being panicky but just try and trust them. They are your family after all."
I nod at him. I feel joy knowing soon I'll be okay but it still seems hard to trust everyone who walks in. I start to wonder when my sight comes back.
Leo's POV
"So he's okay Big D?" I ask.
"His sights fine, his wounds are recovering he just seems to be nervy still."
"Well that's a improvement." Bree say cheerfully. "Maybe we'll have our Chase back soon."
"Bree the Chase there is our Chase he just has his confidence bumped and not as healthy. But he's gaining weight so that means his general health is improving. ."
"So he can play video games soon?" I ask excitedly.
"Maybe." Big D say looking at me like I said something cheeky.
I was so excited. Chase was back! And we could all stop worrying. Life was getting good again!
I don't know Leo I wouldn't say that. Yes there is more do don't ditch this story please. Sorry that I kinna built you guys up for a not so awsome cliff hanger ending but I hope you enjoyed. Thanks for all your reviews.
