Chapter 11 :My knight...

"Wh...what....?"

"You were at Biovolt..." Kai repeated calmly.

Hillary shook her head slowly.

"You mean...'your' Biovolt...where you were for....oh Lord! That Biovolt?!"

He nodded without a word, giving Hillary a chance to take everything in.

"But...how? And....why?"

"We don't know." Tyson murmured. "You're the only one that's able to tell us."

"But....but....."

She shook her head again.

"How can you be sure of that?" She asked in a tiny voice.

Kai pulled his shirt over his head and showed her the tattoo on his back.

"You have the same...on the back of your neck....it's...the symbol they use for experiments.

"Experiment about what?" She wondered.

"Well...I don't know exactly what they do to the girls...it's different but..."

"But what?" Tyson demanded.

"The clinic called me earlier...They found something new..."

"What?"

Kai sighed.

"Well...they find something in your blood. They think it's what caused your memory to be erased, but it's only temporary. In few days, maybe one or two weeks, you'll remember everything..."

Hillary didn't say anything. She could tell just by looking at him that something was wrong.

"What else?" She asked.

"Huh?"

"What else did they say...about me?"

Kai glanced at Tyson and shook his head.

"Nothing..."

"Don't lie to me!" She shouted. "You wanted me to know the truth, so tell me!"

"Hillary..." He sighed again. "You should remember that on your own."

"That what?! Tell me!" She yelled.

"Alright....they...they discovered that you had been pregnant."

All her anger died as she heard those words.

"Pre...pregnant? How can..."

She cut herself off as she felt Tyson's warm embrace around her.

"No! Oh my God...they..."

Her eyes widened and she began to shiver in Tyson's arms.

"It can't be! No! It's not true! Why?!"

"Hillary..."

"They're searching me, aren't they?"

Kai lowered his eyes and nodded.

"But...I don't understand! I've never touched a Beyblade! Why me!?

"Because you're our friend." Kai said.

"What am I'm going to do now?" She asked as she began to cry. "I can't fight them!"

"But we can. We'll protect you from them! I won't let them hurt you again! I swear it!"

Kai left them alone as Hillary slid her arms around Tyson, hugging him with all her strength.
She smiled and delicately placed her lips on his cheek.

"I don't know what I'd do without you. Thank you, Tyson."

He smiled and gently caressed her hair.

"I'll do anything for you." He whispered.

"Can I ask you another favor?"

"Of course!"

"Can you...stay with me tonight? I...I don't want to be alone..."

"No prob. But I still snore you know!"

She burst out into laughter

"It is good to know that certain things will never change!" She murmured.

He took her in his arms and got up.

"Come on Princess! I'm going to put you in your bed!"

"Thank you my Knight!"

He took her along to his room and laid her on the bed. He bent over and placed a slight kiss on her forehead.

"No matter what happens, I'll always protect you. You can ask me anything, don't forget it."

He lied down besides her and rolled his arms around her waist.

"Thank you."

"Don't thank me..."

She smiled and closed her eyes, smiling in Tyson's warm embrace.

"Good night Hil."

"Good night Tyson."

He waited few minutes until she was sound asleep.

"I love you."
