Kidnapping Twins

Grace

A/N: This chapter is quite the roller coaster. Try your best to follow along. And I know that all of the medical decisions made in this chapter probably aren't right. I was just doing what I thought would have been done in this situation. So please don't judge. Thanks for reading. 

I suck in a deep breath, starting to squirm. Kye and Joey have just been looking at each other, confusion on their faces. Joey looks down at me, his brain finally starting to catch up with the situation. He quickly unlocks my chains, making it so that I can get up. I quickly get up, the adrenaline from the situation keeping me moving. I run towards the door, which I throw open. I hear footsteps thundering behind me but I don't stop until I reach the twins' door. I turn just as Kye reaches me. He roughly shoves me out of the way so that he can unlock the door. Once he does I shove past him, entering the room and heading right to the twins. Veronica is holding Hailey in her arms, panic in her eyes. I kneel down beside her and move to grab Hailey. She lets me, anxiously passing her off to me and watching me. I grab Hailey and I instantly bring two fingers to her neck. I start to count her heartbeats as I bring my ear down to her lips. She is breathing, although her breaths are shallow. After a minute has passed I have counted 64 beats. That is pretty low, but not too dangerously. I bring a hand to her forehead. She is completely burning up. I suck in a breath, moving to stand up. I turn towards Kye, who is staring at me bewildered.

"I need to get her in cold water. I need to shock her system into waking up." He nods, moving out of the room. I start to follow, my brain barely recognizing Veronica's footsteps behind me. She grabs onto the bottom of my shirt as we walk. We enter a bathroom and I hand Hailey off to Kye.

"Listen for breathing. If she stops breathing I need to start CPR." He nods and I turn towards the bathtub. I kneel down, starting the water and plugging up the drain. I start to adjust the handles until it is at the right temperature. The bathtub starts to fill and I turn back towards Kye. He hands Hailey back to me. I bring her gently to the ground and sit her down against the bathtub. I turn towards Veronica, who was fear and panic in her eyes.

"Honey, I need you to help me take some of her clothes off. We need to take off everything except for her bra and underwear." She nods and we work together to undress her, being careful to keep her sitting up. We manage to undress her down to that point and I pick her up gently again. She groans, starting to stir. I turn off the water then turn towards Veronica.

"Can you get in there and hold her up when I place her in?" She nods and quickly strips down to her bra and underwear, climbing in. She hisses through her teeth at the cold temperature but sits down anyway, opening her arms up. I place Hailey in the water, praying that this works. Almost immediately she gasps, her eyes shooting open. She starts to flail around and Veronica and I work together to keep her still. After a couple of seconds she's calmed down. She looks around the room in panic, taking short quick breaths. I grab her hand and squeeze it, causing her to look at me.

"Hailey I need you to take deeper breaths. Let's all breath together. Deep breath in," She takes in a deep breath, along with Veronica. We all release it, then take in another. We do this for a couple of times until I intervene.

"Okay. You just keep on breathing. I am going to check your heart rate." She nods, continuing to take deep breaths with Veronica. I grab her wrist this time and start to count. After a minute has passed I have counted 83. Which is significantly better than before. Right in the range where I want her to be. I release her wrist and smile.

"Your heart rate sounds so much better. Now, I am going to keep you in this bath for a few more minutes while your body recuperates. Is it okay if Veronica gets out? Or do you need her to stay in there?"

"I know it's cold. She can get out." I nod, moving Hailey's hand to a pole so that she can keep herself sitting upright while Veronica gets out. I help her out and find a towel to wrap around her. I turn towards Kye, who has been watching the situation unfold.
