Hunger Games 2

Willow tilted her head to the side and glanced at Dayton and them back at Aimee. "Really?" she asked after another moment. She half smiled at that, but it soon dropped from her face. She wished that she could remember. It would make things a whole lot easier. Tyson stepped over to them and glanced at Willow. "Wills, thank god you are okay," he said as he hugged her. Willow frowned in confusion. "Okay, now who is he?" she asked.

--

Ann noticed that he was a bit jumpy, and she couldn't blame him. She would be too after what he went through. "Well...that's great...," she said in surprise, smiling softly over at him. As he continued, she thought it over before she asked, "Okay...are you going to come back?" She was still worried that he may not want to be around them anymore.

Aimée bit her lip when Tyson came. That was just going to make things worse than they already were, and they were pretty bad. "That's your brother, Tyson," she said. Dustin was frantic. He had seen on the news something about cops being at the bowling alley, and he knew that Mackenzie was there. He tried to call her phone multiple times, but it wasn't working. His next resource was Tyson. And of course he called him.

Felix thought about what his mother said for a moment. Would he go back? Would they want him? Well, it was worth a try. "Sure," he said before he went off. There was a water fountain near by, so he was able to get a drink out of that, but he still felt jumpy. He went into the men's bathroom. Luckily he was the only one in there. He went to the sink and then started to splash cold water on his face.

Tyson frowned when Willow didn't seem to remember him. "What's wrong with her? Why doesn't she remember me?" he asked, trying not to become more worried than he already was for Mackenzie. Willow glanced to Aimee when she answered. "Oh..," she whispered, frowning. "Then who were those bad people?" Tyson was about to ask for a more thorough explanation on what happened when his phone rang. He stepped off to the side to answer it. "Hello?"

--

Ann nodded once he answered and went back into the hospital room. "Apparently Felix was, uh, catching up with someone from school," she said as she planted herself in her seat once more. "He said he will be coming back in here..," she added, glancing over her shoulder at that door. She somewhat hoped that he hadn't lied and just simply said that he would.

Aimée looked down at the ground when she heard Tyson. She hated it for him, and she wanted to help, but she had no idea how to fix this. "Wait, Tyson, Mackenzie has that friend that's the chemist. What's her name?" she asked. Dustin almost sagged in relief when he answered, but he quickly grew serious. "Tyson Walker, where is my daughter and why isn't she answering her phone?" he asked.

Aspen rose a brown when Ann spoke. "Really now? I thought Felix didn't have many friends besides Josh and Noah," he said. Who could his son be talking to? Felix was finally finished. With freezing water dripping down his face, he looked up in the mirror, but he was so shocked he stepped back. He looked nothing like the boy he used to be. There was something about him. He almost looked mature, but at the same time he also looked terrified.

Tyson pressed the phone close to his ear and tried to find the right way to go about it. "It is a long story that I would rather not go into over the phone...," he began, trailing as he stole a glance over at Aimee and his sister. He then shook his head and continued. "Look, we are at the hospital. Something happened to Mackenzie," he continued. He was already freaking out enough about Mackenzie, but now he was worried about his sister as well. It did not settle well with him.

--

Ann considered it before she murmured, "Well, maybe he does. He said that they went to school together." She shrugged thoughtfully and half smiled to herself. Maybe it would be all right after all if Felix had someone who he could turn to. She frowned after another moment. "He is taking an awful long time...," she said worriedly. She was tempted to go check on him again, but she had a feeling he needed his time.

Dustin was in shock when he heard him. He gripped his fists tightly, trying to keep his cool. "Tyson, you tell me what happened to my daughter before I do something I regret," he said, but he was already getting his keys and his coat. he was also looking around for Jaycee. She had to be around here somewhere.

Aspen bit his lip, and he looked over at Ann. "Are you sure? Last time I check, our son wasn't very social," he said, and he thought about him for a moment. The only parties he went to he never really talked good about them. Felix stared at himself in the mirror before rushing out. He ran back to their room, his face still soaking wet and dripping.

Tyson was rubbing the back of his head nervously. He was in no mood to deal with a frantic father. He was already feeling a bit too shaky himself. "Sir, I would tell you if I could. But I wasn't there when it happened," he said, sighing softly. "Just come here, and maybe Dayton can explain. I am sorry, but I need to go. My sister is also in a bit of a bad situation as well," he said before he hung up. He stuffed his phone into his pocket. Jaycee had gotten home late from work. She stepped into the house, but her smile immediately evaporated from her face. "What's wrong?"

--

Ann knew he was right, but she just simply shrugged. "Who knows," she murmured before she glanced down at the ground. She just wanted to help her son the best that she could. When he came back in, she lifted her gaze to him. "Felix? What happened?" she asked worriedly. He didn't seem any better than when she had seen him a few minutes ago. Actually, he almost seemed worse.

Dustin wanted to throw his phone when he heard Tyson. "Wasn't there...Why wasn't he there!" he yelled, pacing. When he saw Jaycee, he quickly took her hand. "Something happened to Mackenzie. I'm not sure what though. She's in the hospital," he said, and he ran out as quickly as he could. He started to car up and waited for Jaycee.

Felix looked between his mother and his father for a few moments, his eyes wide. He soon sat down, and he started shaking in his seat. "I-I saw myself," he said. He looked like an insane person probably then. It was a good thing there were no mirrors. He would probably lose it. He was surprised that he didn't in the bathroom.

Jaycee grew even more confused at Dustin's yelling and pacing. When he spoke, her eyes widened in horror. Her daughter was in the hospital? "But I thought...," she began, but trailed. She decided to stop trying to ask questions and instead follow after Dustin. She locked the door before she quickly got in with him.

--

Ann reached out and lightly placed a hand on his shoulder. "Felix, there is nothing wrong with you," she whispered softly. She didn't see what he was so worried about. "It's okay, everything is okay," she continued, but she was only more worried than she was before. Something was up with her son, and she just wanted what was best for him.

Dustin drove as fast as he could, going way over the speed limit. At that moment, he didn't care. His daughter was in the hospital, and he wasn't even sure how bad it was. When he got there, he quickly got out, and he grabbed his wife's hand. He was going to need her. He hugged her tightly and kissed her head. "I love you," he whispered.

Felix could hear his mother's words, but he didn't believe her. He still thought that he was just some insane kid that needed help. Suddenly, his head started to have bursting pain. he cried out, holding his head in his hands. He ended up falling out oh his chair. He lied on the ground, cradling his hand. He could only manage to mutter one name between his screams. "Xander Matthews."

Jaycee stared worriedly out the window. She wanted to know what she had missed in the few hours that she had heard that Mackenzie was going out with Tyson and his sister. When they made it to the hospital, she hopped out along with her husband and held his hand tightly. "I love you too," she whispered, planting a quick kiss on is cheek. "Everything will be okay," she continued, or so she hoped. She headed inside quickly.

--

Ann sighed and glanced away; her attention turned quickly back to Felix when he screamed. She knelt down beside him and grabbed his hand. "Felix?" she asked worriedly; her eyes were wide in shock. "Felix, what's wrong? What's going on?" she spouted off quick questions. She hesitated; she was tempted to call a doctor into the room. At the name, she glared. Xander was almost as horrible as Caroline, if not worse.

Dustin closed his eyes, and he gave her a small nod. "I hope it will be," he said quietly, and he held her hand tightly before he walked into the hospital. He quickly went to Dayton, and he tried to stay calm. "What happened to her?" he asked, and he looked around at the people at where there.

Felix was shaking on the ground, crying and screaming, waiting for the pain to stop. He managed to get out a few more words. They were forced, but that was beside the point. "The tracker...get it out!" he cried, holding his head. He then started to continue on muttering the name uncontrollably.

Jaycee could only nod in agreement. She wanted nothing more to be sure that her daughter would be fine. Dayton glanced up at Dustin and shifted to sit up. "We were going to get Willow, and she made it there before me. Caroline and her were fighting, and Caroline shot her. I don't know the full extent of what happened or what they were fighting about...," he said, sighing.

--

Ann's jaw dropped, and she was in momentary shock. She soon snapped out of it and looked through the supplies in the hospital before she came up with a knife. "Okay, okay. This may hurt," she said reluctantly; actually, there was no may about it. She was positive it would hurt. She found the tracker and cut it out rather quickly. She then grabbed a first aid kit and began to mend the wound she had made.

Dustin was in pure shock at first. His shock the turned to anger. "That is it! I am done with Caroline. She should have stayed dead the first time Aspen killed her," he said bitterly, and he ran a hand through his hair, looking over at Dayton. "Is she going to be okay? Was she bleeding a lot?" he asked him quickly.

Felix ended up screaming at the top of his lungs when she got the tracker out. The pain from that plush his migraine were a horrible combination. His body slacked when she pulled it out, and he lied on the ground weakly, panting and his eyes close. Aspen looked down, wishing that he could get up and see his son. "Fe, are you okay?"

Dayton didn't reply; he was just as angry at Caroline as everyone else was. However, he couldn't help but think about his sibling that was somewhere out there. "She was unconscious when I got to her. I don't know how bad it really is," he said, dropping his gaze to the ground. "I wish I could help more...," he said, huffing in defeat.

--

Ann quickly fixed up the wound and bandaged it securely. She tried to hide the pain of seeing her son hurting so much. "Felix, you are okay, right?" she asked, taking his hand tightly in hers. She glanced over at Aspen and then back down at Felix. "Should I call a doctor in?" she asked Aspen quickly. She was going to make sure Xander paid for what he did.

Dustin listened to Dayton as he spoke, and he closed his eyes. He was going to make sure that Caroline paid for what she did. His daughter, his little Mack, was innocent. He sighed and shook his head. "No, you did all you could. Thank you," he said before he sat down next to Tyson and wrapped an arm around Jaycee.

Felix stayed motionless for a moment, but he soon gave a small nod. "I'm fine," he said quietly, but he clearly wasn't. He was crying and sweating. He looked horrible. "Get the tracker out of Noah and Astrid too if they haven't gotten it yet. We can't have this happening to them.

Dayton simply nodded and watched as Dustin went to go sit down. He glanced at Willow, who was looking at everyone clueless. "It's okay, Wills," he whispered to her; she just nodded as if she understood. Jaycee reached out and took Dustin's hand worriedly. She threw a glance at Tyson, who was looking as if he was trying his best not to have a mental breakdown.

--

Ann hoped he was right, but she just couldn't be so sure. "If you are sure," she agreed, nodding anxiously. As he continued, she stood upright and bit her lower lip nervously. "Uh, okay. I will be back soon," she murmured, giving Aspen's hand a quick squeeze before she stepped out of the room and raced to Dimitri's.

It felt like forever for Dustin. Maybe it was only half an hour, or maybe it was a full hour, but it took long enough for a doctor to come in and call out Mackenzie's name. He quickly got up and race over to him. "How is she? Is she okay?" he asked. The doctor sighed. "She's still unconscious, but she should be okay. She lost a lot of blood, but we are getting her some more. We need to speak with that one before he goes o see her though," he said, pointing to Dayton.

Noah was in his father's room and talking with his sister. He was just trying to rekindle everything that they had before. The games seemed to change everyone. he looked up when he saw the door open, and he gave her an odd look. "Aunt Ann? What are you doing here?" he asked.

Dayton started to pass the time by playing on his phone. It was easier to forget that one of his best friends was hurt and that Willow didn't remember him that way. When the doctor came up, he glanced over and mildly listened to what Dustin was talking about with him. When he pointed at Dayton, he furrowed his brows in confusion before he stood and walked over. "What is it?" he asked, trying not to be agitated.

--

Ann crouched down beside him and nodded towards Peyton in greeting before she returned her attention back to Noah. "I need to get your tracker out of you. Felix still had his in, and he started having a bad...pain. I can't really describe it. But I need to get yours out," she informed him. There didn't need to be another teenager spazzing out on the floor.

The doctor let Dustin go on into the room. Dustin rushed in, and he sat down, taking his daughter's hand. "It's going to be okay, Mack," he said quietly, brushing her hair with his hand softly. The doctor narrowed his eyes before he grabbed the ziplock that Mackenzie had managed to keep. "She had this with her. Do you even know what this is or why she had this?" he asked him. "It's a memory reversal medication used in the old revolutions and wars."

Noah looked at her with his eyes wide. "Is he okay?" he asked quickly. Josh bit his lip, and he went to go sit beside Peyton. "hey, are you okay?" he asked her quietly. He wanted to make sure that she wasn't at least going to show around Noah her hate for Astrid.

Dayton watched as Dustin raced off; the confusion only grew as the doctor spoke. He frowned and clenched his fists. He was tempted to curse the guy and storm right out of the hospital. How would he know what the hell she was doing with it! "I have no clue why she had it. I came a little late. Like I told her father, I don't know what they were fighting about, I just know that they were fighting."

--

Ann nodded slowly as she glanced back at the door. "He should be. But from how it looked, it seems to really hurt. So, although it is going to hurt to get it out, it will hurt more to keep it in," she stated, before motioning for him to hold out his wrist where the tracker was. Peyton glanced over at Josh when he came over. "Yeah, I'm fine," she whispered flatly, but she couldn't help but glance at Astrid with a frown.

The doctor narrowed his eyes before handing it to him. "I don't think you understand the power of this thing. If used on younger people or the older, or in large doses, which aren't even that large, they can be fatal. If I were you, i would destroy that right now," he said before going off.

Noah bit his lip before he put out his wrist. "I just hope he's okay. He's been through enough," he said, and he looked down at Astrid, giving her a small smile. Along with being with Peyton, he had also been caring for Astrid. Josh sighed, and he looked down at her, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Calm down, Pey," he said

Dayton furrowed his brows in confusion and stared down at the pill. He would have said something else, if the doctor hadn't walked off. "Fatal?" he repeated, staring at the pill. "A little pill?" he muttered in disbelief. He moved to go over to Aimee and sighed. "Caroline is sneakier than I thought," he grumbled. It was hard to believe the woman was not only his mother, but raised him.

--

"I hope so too. He was freaking out a lot. He has me worried," Ann whispered before she quickly cut out the tracker. She bound it quickly so he wouldn't lose too much blood from it. "Okay, Astrid, I need to get yours out too," she said, reaching out for her hand. When Astrid realized what she was trying to do, she moved away and shook her head quickly. Her eyes wide in horror. Peyton let out a long breath to calm herself down. "She just...doesn't deserve him. All she has ever done was hurt him," she whispered.

Aimée looked over at Dayton when he walked to her, and she took his hand. "What did that doctor want? He seemed pretty mad," she said, and she looked up at him. She just wished that they could be normal for once. Maybe not going to the hospital every month would be nice.

Noah cried out in pain when she took it out, but he quickly wrapped it in gauze when she was finished. He looked down at Astrid, and she still seemed pretty shaken up. He quickly went to her, and he wrapped his arms around her, holding her close. He kissed her neck before whispering in her ear,"Hey, it's okay." Josh sighed, and he nodded. "I know, but look at him. He's so happy. when she left him, he was horrible. I couldn't even get him out of bed. She may not be perfect, but she makes Noah so happy."

Dayton sighed and sat down once more. He wrapped an arm around the back of her chair. "Mack had a pill for some reason. He said it was a memory reversal pill, and that it was very dangerous," he muttered, glaring at the way the doctor had gone. "I ought to show him what to remember," he grumbled. Tyson had gotten up and was rushing to the room Mackenzie was in. He had to see her.

--

Astrid was shaking uncontrollably and staying as far away from Ann as she could manage to get. When Noah came over, she wrapped her arms around him tightly and closed her eyes. "Noah...," was all she could whisper. Peyton understood what Josh was saying; yet, it was still infuriating. "But what if she does it again, Josh?" she whispered, attempting not to glare Astrid's way. "She hurt my brother once, and I am going to make sure she never does again."
