Chapter 7

***meanwhile back in the village***

Kai is getting worse. "I hope Aron gets Mary before it's too late for him..." the nurse Ann says tugging nervously on her blonde curls,which she had in a ponytail held by a big light-blue bow. Kai opens his eyes slowly. "W-where's Sara?" he asks trying to get out of his bed. Ann rushes over. "Kai please,you have to stay in bed. Your sister is safe. She's with my brother." she says soothingly laying him back down. "Why did she take him?" He asks confused. "Exuse me?" she asks sounding offended. "I told her to go to Austins! Why did she take Aron?!" he says this time pushing her away when she tried to settle him down. "I have no idea if she was going to Austins.But Im pretty sure Aron said they were going to find Mary....and she is in the north." Ann says gently. "....SARA...." Kai growls heading for the door."Kai, please lay back down!" she says trying to push him back to his bed, but his anger made him stronger. "Move." he says,pauseing a moment for her to get out of his way. "...No!" she says. "Aron trusted me to look after you and I'm not going to break my promise of keeping you safe!" she says bravly look up at him. He sets his face to stone. "....I said, MOVE!" he says pushing her aside. She screams and hits the wall. Kai looks down at his hands then at Ann, who is cluching her arm and glaring at him with tears in her eyes. "....just leave then!" she says standing up and gathering her supplies to take back to Arons office. "But you know your just going to die out there! And when Sara gets back with Mary everyone is going to wish you didn't have such a bad TIMPER!!!!" she yells pushing him as hard as she could and running out the door. Her push only made him take a few steps back but her words made him get back in the bed. She'll be back. Kai thinks to himself closeing his eyes.

Later that day Ann still hasn't come back. I have to go get her. Kai thinks to himself. He gets up, ignoring the pain he drags himself all the way to the doctor,Where he finds Ann sitting in Arons office. With tear stains on her cheeks. He takes a deep breath before entering. She looks up with delight,but quickly changes her expresstion in to a glare. "What do YOU want?" she asks emphasizing the word 'you'. Kai slides his hands deep into his pockets and looks at the ground. "....I'm sorry.." he mumbles. She continues to look around the room, anywhere but at him. He is about to say it louder when she gets up and starts wiping down the tables in the office. "...I'm sorry.." he says again a little louder. She ignores him and keeps cleaning. Kai rolls his eyes and repeats himself one last time. "I'm SORRY." he says. She looks up at him with a death glare. "For what?" he gulps and trys not to look her in the eye. "For pushing you..." he says finally making eye contact with her. She is about to say somthing when Kai feels a shock of pain go though him. He falls to his knees and sweat imedietly starts dripping down his forehead. "Kai!" Ann screams falling to her knees also and lifting his head. He grits his teeth and trys to stand. Ann grabs his hands and helps him to his feet. "Your getting worse." Ann says quitely helping him to another room where there's four beds for patience. She lays him down into one and runs back to Arons office for his medicine. When she returns Kai has fainted from the pain. She held back curses as she ejected the shot. He breathing relaxed.but he won't be waking up for a while. Ann thinks to herself.

After a few hours Kai finally wakes up to the sound of a familier voice speaking to Ann."I'm sorry Miss but he isn't well and you CANT see him." Ann says sounding stressed. "But I KNOW he wants to see me! He NEEDS to see me!" the girls voice says.Ann says somthing that makes the girl scream "I HAVE TO SEE MY BOYFRIEND!" suddenly Kai knew who it was. Tory. He hears quick steps coming before he sees her face. "KAI!!" She screams with happiness,running to his side and hugging him. "I've been looking for you everywhere!" she exclaims loudly in his ear. He trys to push her away but she holds on tightly. "That mean lady at the front wouldn't let me see you but-" she begins but Kai cuts her off. "Then why are you back here?" he demands with an edge in his voice. "Because I haven't seen you in FOREVER! Like monthes, no years!" she says dramaticly. She goes on rambleing until Kai holds up his hand. "Tory I don't care." he says. "Yes you do." she says trying to get back to her story. "Get out." Kai says. "Why?" she asks stupidly. He points to the door. "the nurse said you couldn't come back here." he says. "So? Who cares what she wants?!" Tory says bounceing happily. "I do. And I want you to leave." He says. She stops bounceing. "YOU want me to leave?" she asks,her smile leaving her face. Her dull gray eyes look at him in confusion. "YES! I DONT want you here. And for the Thousandth time I'M NOT YOU BOYFRIEND!" He yells though gritted teeth. "But-" she begins. "GET OUT!!" He screams. She twirls her blonde hair around her finger and sighs. "Fine but one day-" she starts to say but Kai cuts her off AGAIN. "Tory I've told you a thousand times I will NEVER miss you!" he yells. "Why can't you understand that? Why do you ALWAYS come back the next day and call me you boyfriend AGAIN?!" he asks. "I can come tomorrow? YAY!" she says clapping her hands with delight and rushing out of the room before he could say anything else. "GRRRRR" Kai groans in frustation. Minutes later Ann comes in. She has a weird look on her face. "WHAT?!" Kai demand embarassed. She opens her mouth,but the only thing that comes out is a long loud LAUGH. "She-She was like, I have to see my B-Boyfriend!" she says in between laughs. Kai blushes. "Shes not my girlfriend!" he says defensively. She laughs harder. "Oh,I heard!!" Kai sits up. "Shes just a stupid girl! I never said I liked her!" he yells trying to get Ann to stop laughing. She wipes away her tears of laughter and sits down on the bed beside Kai's. "I'm sorry. It's just, I actually thought she was your girlfriend. And then you started screaming at her and-" she struggled to finish her sentance. "Would you stop laughing?!" Kai yells feeling his body heat up with anger. She jumps back a little from his out burst. "Sorry." she says getting up and going back to Arons office. "Try to get some rest!" she yells from the other room. He trys to sleep but the thought of Tory coming tomorrow made him dread it. Later Ann leans her head back into the room. When she sees his eyes wide open she looks disapointed. "I can't sleep." he states plainly. She smiles. "Sooo you wanna talk or somthing?" she asks. He shrugs. She walks over and sits on the bed next to his and twirls her hair around her finger exactly like Tory. But she makes it look cute. Kai decides in his head. At the same time they snap out of staring at eachother. "Uhhh" they say in unison. They both laugh. "I was just thinking about how much you look like..My cousion! Yeah,same eyes." she laughs nevously. He nods. "Oh I forgot! Sorry I have to go, I won't be back for awhile." she says rushing to the door and with a sad smile she is gone. Kai smiled to himself. Maybe tomorrow won't be so bad......but Kai doesn't know that his sickness is only getting started
