Kimberly watched as her mother lost consciousness from the gold dust and went crashing into the glass coffee table. She instantly ran over to her and kneeled down beside her mother's head.

"Mom, please be okay! I will call for help!" Kim cried as she went to the phone.

"I need an ambulance to 2020 Angel Way; I have an unconscious woman after falling into a glass table!" Kim cried. After receiving confirmation that help was on the way, she went back to her mother's side. There was blood everywhere; Kim grabbed a blanket off the couch to put around her head that seemed to be bleeding the most.

"An ambulance is coming; you just have to hang in there." Kim cried holding her mother's hand. She noticed how cold her hand is.

"You are freezing; I am going to get you a blanket."

Kim grabbed the blanket from the other couch and covered her mother with it.

"There, you are going to be okay."

Kim heard the sirens as they got closer.

"They are here and they are going to take excellent care of you. I am going to go let them in. I will be right back."

Kim opened the front door and saw the ambulance there. She didn't even wait for the paramedics to get out of the ambulance before going back to her mother. She left the door wide open for the paramedics, but she didn't want to leave her mother alone for long.

The paramedics came in the house pushing a stretcher. One of the paramedics saw the girl crying over the unconscious mother. "Kimberly!" He called.

Kim looked up when she heard her name. She went running into the arms of the paramedic, while his partner attended to the woman. The partner shook her head after she assessed the situation.

"Kimberly I am sorry, but Caroline is dead. You knew that, didn't you?" The guy paramedics told her as he comforted her.

"You know the girl?" The partner asked.

"Yeah she is my very baby sister; I am going to take her home with me. She doesn't need to be here when they show up." The paramedic told his partner as he led Kimberly out of the house and across the street to his house.

Nobody was home. He led Kimberly into the house and took her upstairs to the guest room. She cried and cried in his arms.

"Kimberly, I am going to go down and get you a glass of water." He said.

He went downstairs, he saw the door opened. His brother came in.

"Jake, I thought you wouldn't be home until morning?" Jason asked.

"Jase, Kimberly is in the guestroom. Caroline is dead, she was dead when we got there." Jake replied.

Jason gasped, he has known Caroline his whole life; that is why he and Jake think of Kimberly as his baby sister, they grew up together. "What happened?"

"I'm not sure, we got the call, and when I got there it looked as if Caroline fell through a glass table and Kimberly was leaning over her crying. I knew she shouldn't be there when the coroner shows up to take Caroline's body, so I brought it here. Go up and talk to her, she really needs a friend right now." Jake told his little brother as he proceeded to the Kitchen to get the water for Kimberly.

Jason headed to the guestroom and slowly opened the door. He saw Kimberly lying on the bed crying her heart out into the pillow. Jason felt his heart breaking for his little sister as he listened to her cry.

"Kimmy-cub, I just heard what happened. I am so sorry." Jason said as he sat down next to her rubbing her back.

Kim turned so that she was looking at him, "It is all my fault. I killed her."

"No Kimmy, you didn't; I'm sure it was just an accident."

"Yeah, an accident caused by Goldar." Kim cried.

"Goldar! What did he have to do with what happen?" Jason said in shock.

"He showed up the house, said I was to go with him. I refused of course; maybe I should have gone with him, then at least my mother would still be alive."

"Kim, you are not making any sense; how did Goldar lead to Caroline crashing through the glass table?"

"She knows who we are, or at least that I am a Ranger. She was there in the room and Goldar called me the pink Ranger right before he took out some of the gold dust. You know, that he used to try and make me Zedd's Queen last week. Goldar goes to throw the dust on me, but mom got between us and the dust landed on her. Goldar vanished and before I could get to her, she passed out and went right into the glass table."

"Oh Kim,"

"SO YOU SEE; IT IS ALL MY FAULT!" Kim screamed at the top of her lungs.

Jason was worried that his brother might have heard her screaming, he would figure out a way to cover for why she blames herself if Jake asks.

"No, Kimberly! You listen to me; it is not your fault. It is Goldar's fault and it is Zedd's fault, but not yours." Jason said in his best leader voice.

"My mom would still be alive if I wasn't a Ranger. If I wasn't Ranger, Goldar would not have been in the house trying to take me." Kim argued.

"You don't know that."

"Yes I do!"

"Kimberly, you are beautiful, attractive and have a heart of gold. Those things alone could make you a target for Zedd, even if you weren't a Ranger. Because you are, you have backup against up, you have people on your side and you know how to take care of yourself. You knew that you had to fake the spell from the dust until you could be rescued. You knew that people would come for you and that you couldn't take another dose of dust. If you hadn't been a Ranger and still captured by Goldar, you wouldn't know what to do."

Kim shook her head not believing what he saying.

"We all have qualities about us that make us targets for Rita and Zedd, even if we weren't Rangers. Tommy and I have a black belt in karate, if we weren't Rangers Rita would recruit us for her side. Actually she did, she turned Tommy evil because of his karate ability; he wasn't already a Ranger at that time. Billy is a genius, what Zedd and Rita could have done with someone like Billy if he wasn't a Ranger."

"What is your point?" Kim asked annoyed as she listened to her brother babble.

"My point Kimberly Anne Hart is that being Rangers protects us, the qualities that makes us Rangers are the same qualities that would have attracted the bad guys to us if we weren't Rangers. So don't blame yourself for what happened." Jason explained.

AN: Caroline may be dead but she is not gone. I was thinking of making her a guardian angel or an assistant to Zordon. Which one would you like to see?
