Rion kicked
and screamed like a maniac but he was held down tightly onto the hospital bed by
the doctors attempting to calm him down. They were surprised how strong the kid
was considering it was very hard to control keep him still.
"Get the needle!" One doctor screamed at the nurse
struggling with Rion's left arm. "Get it now Godammit!!"
The nurse fantically rushed to the table and prepared the small medication needle to give to the doctor. She felt kinda bad to do this to a kid but he was out of control. She heard about the story of Rion Steiner,the son of the doctor who created that menacing machine Dorothy and how Rion was used as a gineau pig for the Galerians project created by Dorothy and her "rabbits". She was thankful for Rion when he destoyed "her". Hopefully other people feel the same way and thank him but now they are drugging him to calm down which was kinda sad, doing something like that to a kid who saved their city.
"What are you whating for?! Give me the needle NOW!!" The doctor screamed at the lady.
When Rion saw the needle in the doctors hand, he went beserk. Using his powers he lifted one doctor in the air and threw him out of the second story window. The other doctors now frightened like hell let go of his body except for the head doctor who still clutched his left arm. Rion lifted one hand and placed it on his face, next thing they knew the doctor's body bursted into flames. After the burned corpse fell onto the ground he started going after the other doctors and they too suffered a horrible death. All was left was the young nurse whom was huddled up in a corner.
"Please Rion don't hurt me..." the nurse wimpered in a scared child-like voice. "We're only trying to help you Rion..."
"If you want to help me miss...please make the pain stop." Rion whisphered handing her the surgeon's knife "Kill me now."
"What?! You want me to kill you? But why?" The nurse muttered when he placed the blade in her palm.
"I don't wanna live anymore..life has so much pain. It can only be stopped by being dead."
"Rion...I can't do this.." She wisphered dropping the knife onto the floor.
"Why? I want to DIE!!" Rion screamed not small tears running down his bony face.
The nurse slowly got up
from the ground and looked down at the young boy. She felt so sorry for him,
hearing about what kind of torture he went through by Dorothy and Professor Lem.
She lifted one hand and wiped one tear from his pale cheek.
"Oh
Rion..." She muttered combing her finger through his blonde hair. "Don't be so
sad..."
"I lost everything...and I killed people in cold blood. I don't want to
continue this kind of life." Rion says to her.
"There's more to life than
pain. Let me show you Rion..." The woman said in a soft soothing voice.
She walks slowly towards the bewildered boy but Rion held up his tembling
hand towards her head with an scared face.
"C-come any closer and I'll kill
you...I give you..o-one more chance to live by killing me but you didn't take
it..so you'll die."
"If you want the pain to stop then the first thing to do is to stop killing people." She wisphered looming closer.
"S-s-stay back! I warn you!!" Rion stuttered his hand now shaking violently.
"RION!!!" The woman screamed lifting a hand and slapping his face hard making fall to the floor.
Rion layed there looking up at the woman,his entire body
twitching, his face was red from the blow, his eyes were wide and scared. The
nurse was shocked at what she's done. She crouched down at him tried to calm
Rion.
"I-I'm really sorry Rion..I didn't mean to."
"J-just s-stay away from me!" Rion screeched with one hand covering his face. "Just go away! You're just like 'them'."
"Rion..." she muttered
"GET THE HELL OUT BEFORE I KILL YOU!!" Rion screamed throwing a water glass at her. She dodge the attck resulting with the glass shattering at the wall "GET OUT!! GET OUT!!!"
The nurse ran as fast as she could out of the hospital room. She met up with some more doctors and security guards whom was called to control Rion.
"Where's the little hellraiser?!" one of them said holding the frantic nurse in his arms. "Where's Rion?!"
"Inside the Intensive care unit...please don't be hard on him.He's only a boy..." she wisphered to the guard.
"Don't worry..we'll take care of him." he replied.
The woman watched as the head guard signaled the others to go inside. She heard a lot of screaming of pain from the guards,she realized that he was killing them, but then she heard another scream this time was from Rion followed by a loud thud. In which she knew that the got him with a blow in the head knocking him out cold. A gulity feeling grew in the pit of her stomach, she wished she could've helped him but Rion was too wild and too strong. She noticed the guards dragging Rion's body, his forehead and face was covered in blood he was struck quite hard with one of the guards' clubs. She continued to watch until they were swallowed up by the darkness of the shadows.
********************************
Next morning....
"Don't worry about him Katrina." Dr.Owen mused sipping his morning coffee "Rion's fine. He may be rough at times,but he is harmeless." He continued on with his breakfast, the woman looks at her with a cold glare.
"Harmless? Did you see what that boy did to mostly half our staff! I wouldn't call it 'harmless'." Katrina hissed remembering the horror of the night before seeing the doctors die in front of her. "Something's gonna be done for Rion. He never had much human contact without blowing them up to bits..he's just a scared little boy."
"He's nearly sixteen Katrina.." Dr.Owen muttered "And besides he'll be transfeered to a insitution where good people take care of him."
"That'll make him only worse..do really want to do this to a person who saved our city by those...creatures!!" She growled.
"That boy may have been our savior but he's now a maniac. I know anything will not cure him. from the memories of his past."
"Rion was right..." She wisphered to herself
"Huh? What do you mean Kat?" He replied.
"We're just like them Galerians...people who promises to take care of them but really we are doing nothing." She scowled
"Now what a damn minute!!" Dr.Owen hollered "We doctors toke the hippocratic oath to always help the sick...but at times it can get out hand and we can't help the patient."
"John..Rion begged me last night to kill him...I don't think you doctors are helping him."
"And what do you think you can do?" He muttered looking at her coldly.
"A much better job than you..." Katrina replied as she walked away.
A few minutes later she ended up at Unit 9. The psychiatric wing of the hospital, She looked through all of the room until she came up to Rion's at the end of the hallway. When she peered inside she saw the kid sitting on his bed holding at an old ragged doll. It looked like something that belong to a little girl.
"Rion..." She wisphered as she opened the door. "Rion dear..are you okay?
"I'm fine.." Rion half-mumbled.
He looked up at the Katrina,she still had the tense look on her thin face,framed by her dark brown hair. She was wearing her normal nurse uniform with white shoes and a small silver crucifix around her neck. She didn't look as young or as pretty as the other nurses but she did look very intellectual and very kind.
"Listen...I'm really sorry about what happened last night."
"About what?" Rion replied still eyeing the doll
"Y'know when I slapped you.." She said in embarrasement.
Rion looks at her again "Well...I kinda deserved that after when I barbequed your staff and threatened to kill you. I guess I should apologize for my actions.."
"No need to..If I were in your place I'd go insane too." She muttered with a small smile.
"What's your name?" Rion asked in a calm tone.
"I am Katrina Gosselin...and I obviously know you're Rion Steiner." She said warmly "I've heard a lot about you..."
"Almost everybody has..." Rion replied raising a hand and lifting the doll in midair. "One of the reasons I wished I was dead..."
"Ah don't feel so bad. Shit happens! that's what I always say." she says trying to cheer him up
"Exactly what my life is..shit!"
Oookaaay! Maybe that wasn't the right thing to say.." Katrina mumbled to herself. She looked to one side to see a tray with a bowl of hot cereal with a glass of orange juice and toast. It was hardly even touched.
"You not hungry Rion?"
"No..It taste like crap! You're not gonna make me eat that are you Miss.Gosselin?"
"Hell no! I wouldn't eat that stuff if my life depended on it!!" Katrina chuckled "Oh..and please don't call me Miss Gosselin..just call me Katrina...or you can call me Kat for short."
"Okay..Kat!" Rion mumbled
"Hey! Maybe sometime today I'll treat you out for lunch...there's a great pizza restaurant downtown!" Katrina muttered with a grin "When was the last time you went out to eat?"
Rion thought about it for a moment..it had been quite a while since he had anything good to eat. Heck! It's been quite a while since he has eaten at all. "Do you think they'll let ya take me?" he replied his face brightened.
"I'll try....but if not I'll sneak you out myself!" Kat laughed "Besides nobody should be locked in here. It's not good for them..."
Rion for the first time smiled a bit. This was the first time anyone
was nice to him since..Lilla.
"I dunno if I wanna go Kat.." Rion muttered
looking back down at the doll "Maybe later...someday but just not today.Right
now I just wanna be alone if you don't mind."
"Okay.." Kat wisphered
Rion from the corner of his eye watched as Kat walked out the door.
The hallway echoed with the sounds of her footsteps first loudly then became
silent as it got farther until it was silenced by the sound of the steel doors
closing shut.
"I would go with her but..it's too early." Rion thought
as he layed on the bed holding the tattered ragdoll in his hands "Besides I
miss you too much Lilla."
He crawled underneath the quilt and curled himself up like a
cat. He still held the doll in his hands holding it tightly as if he was hugging
Lilla. He wanted to feel her warm touch once more like he did before. Hell! He
wanted to kiss Lilla.
"The doctors told me that you were dead but I
believe that you are still alive and is looking for me so I'll wait for
you."
