Chapter 28: Ciel in Danger/ Getting ready to leave

The next day. Ruka and Indigo came by because they heard about Ravens situation. Akela Kane and Tony were there too. "How is she Tate?" "She is still asleep no change as far as I heard Alora is in there with her." "Can we go in? Go ahead all of you just try to be quiet there are 2 chairs and a couch."

They all went in to see her. She looked like she was sleeping peacefully but still hasn't woken up yet. "Hey Raven. All of us are here. Indigo Ruka Kane and even me Akela are here for you. Oh Tony is here as well." "Cough cough. Everyone." She whispered then her breathing looked shallower. "I will get a doctor guys." Said Kane. "I will be right back." Just as Kane was about to turn a corner for a doctor, one passed by him. "Oh Doctor its Raven." "I'm heading there now. Has something happened?" "Yes she coughed and said Everyone. Then it looked like her breathing started to get shallower." "Oh dear. That's not good." The doctor got there faster.

"Ok I need some room everyone out for a minute please." Said the doc. "Alora you stay here." "Yes sir." The doc checked her breathing and other vitals. "She definitely has shallower breathing. I hope this shot will help it. She has a low blood pressure too. She is also cold. I have to give her 2 shots." The doc got out the first needle and gave her the medicine. Then he waited a few minutes then gave her the next one." "Ok I will stay here with her for a bit. You should go get some rest." "Thank you sir." Alora left and went to her room to sleep. Koa came in because he heard from Kane what was going on. "How is she doctor?" "Well like Kane said her breathing was shallower. She was also cold and had low blood pressure. I gave her a couple of shots. I hope they will work." "Yeah me too. I think I will sleep In here on the couch tonight. I will have to let the kids know."

It was around sometime after lunch Koa was just about to leave when he heard Raven. "Hmm.." "Raven? Can you hear me honey? Its me Koa." She took a deep breath and woke up. "Koa? Are you Ok? What about the kids?" "Relax Raven the kids are ok." "Oh good. I will have tate get the doctor." Koa stepped out for a min. and said, "Tate can you get the doctor? Raven is awake." "Yes of course. I'm glad she's finally awake." Tate ran to get the doctor. He passed the twins on the way. "Your mother just woke up. Your dad is in with her." Keeva and Ciel ran to their parent's room.

Ciel and Keeva gently opened the door. "Hey dad. Mom are you ok?" Said Ciel. "Yes Ciel I'm fine now. How are you? Are you OK?" "Yes mom I'm fine. You protected me." "Come here Ciel and Keeva." They both went to Raven and she gave them both a hug. "I'm so glad you both are ok. Especially you Ciel. You are in Danger." Once they broke the hug Ciel asked. "What danger am I in? Did I do something wrong to anger someone?" "No Ciel. You didn't. Remember when I told you when I was little people were after me? I guess they are after dragons. We found that out a few months ago. So Keeva. If you ever turn dragon try to keep it hidden as much as possible. Both of you stay away from that forest until its safe got it?" "Yes mom." They both said. Then he doctor came in. Koa go ahead and take the kids for a walk. I'm sure they need it." "Yes dear I will." "Thanks." Then the doctor looked Raven over.

"How are you feeling Raven?" "Well I felt like I was going to die then I felt a sharp pinch in my arm then a few more minutes the next. Next think I knew I was taking a deep breath and waking up. As of the moment I feel a little weak." "Is that all?" "Yes that's all." "Ok well until you don't feel weak anymore you will have to stay in bed. Lets check that wound of yours." He took off the bandage and it looked like it was healing ok." "OK in the next couple of days the stitches will be dissolved and the bandage can be taken off. I kept the arrow. Hang on." He took the arrow out of another bag and showed it to me. "Do you recognize this arrow?" "Actually no. Maybe its not the same ones that wanted me. I need to talk to Koa." "Ok Raven I will go get him. You rest." "Yeah I'll try."

The doctor went out and walked to find Koa. "Oh Koa. Good. Your wife has something important to tell you." "Ok thanks. Kids go see grandma and Grandpa ok?" "Yes father." Said Keeva. "Lets go brother." "Mom's going to be ok right dad?" "Yes she is Ciel." Then Koa headed back to Raven.

"Hey Raven what is it you needed?" "The doctor kept the arrow. I have it right here. Its not the people we thought it was. Look at the arrow." "No wonder you were asleep so long. Your lucky you got what you did. That is a sleeping arrow. Many people don't wake up from it. I got hit with it once too. Aparently I'm immune to it." "That's good. What are we going to do about Ciel? What if the other kids end up turning will they be ok? I think we need to take the kids someplace safe." "Woah slow down Raven. Breathe. I know what you are saying. What if we had the kids stay with one of your clans. Have them watch the kids and see if they show up. There are a lot of people who can watch them. Lets see If I am better tomorrow I will talk to them. Which clan should we send them to. I know what about your clan? You think they could help?" "Like you said. Lets wait until tomorrow. I will go talk to the kids. I will get the little ones from your parents ok?" "Yeah I will be fine Koa. Tate is guarding me."

"Your majesties. Raven is doing good now. I need to talk to the kids alone." "I hope everything turns out ok." Said the Queen. "Thank you your majesty." He picked the boys up and said, come on boys we need to go see mommy. We need to tell you something."

"I got the kids. We need to talk to the kids about something." "Go on in."

"Hey Raven I got the kids." "Mom. Are you ok?" Said Keeva. "Yes baby I'm ok." Then one of the toddler boys climbed up to Raven then the other one followed. "Woah Frost and Fox easy." They snuggled up to me. "Oh my babies." "Ok Koa you want to explain what might happen?" "Yes I will." Koa explained to the kids how they explained it to each other. "So we are just going to stay with a clan for awhile?" "Well we hope so. If the danger goes over there we will have to take you somewhere else. Don't worry they are cool people. Uncle Akela Is the boss there. You will be staying in the house. The 3 boys will share a room and Keeva you get your own room. We are just hoping your mom gets her strength back by then. So we can see you all off. You don't have to pack anything since its close to the palace. They should have clothes and everything you guys need over there. Trust me you will like what they have over there." "I've been training with Zeno dad. I can protect Keeva and the boys." "Haha I'm sure you can Ciel. We still need someone to watch you. Your still young and have room to grow. OK Ciel. Take the boys and get ready for dinner then head down ok? You too Keeva." "Ok dad." So they were off to get ready for dinner.

(sigh.) "That was a pretty big sigh Raven. You ok?" "Sorry yeah. I just hope no one comes after him over there. If that doesn't work we only have one more option." "Don't we have two? What about the safe house you were going to before your accident long ago?" "I don't know much about that unless I talk to Jason. He was older than me. Well we can talk to him tomorrow before we leave about that ok?" "Yeah." "Lets talk about something else. Something happy. Oh I know. Remember when we went to the beach and Keeva buried Ciel in the sand and only his head popped out. The twins started freaking out." "Haha Yeah that was pretty funny." "I know right. Frost and Fox tried to dig him up it was hilarious." "Well the kids are probably down to dinner right now. Want me to bring you some up?" "No you can have one of the maids do it. You stay with the kids now." "Ok then I will stay with the kids until they go to bed. Then I will sleep on the couch again unless you feel well enough for me to lay with you?" "Oh of course you can lay with me Koa." "OK then I will. See you soon Raven." "Ok Koa. I love you." "I love you too." Then we kissed on the lips for a few seconds then he left to the dinning room.

Hours went by and it was the kids bedtime. "Ok kids. Bedtime. I will take your little brothers. I will be in, in a bit after I put them down ok?" "OK dad." Said Ciel. They kids went to their rooms and Koa put the younger ones down.

"Ok boys. Godnight. Sweet dreams." He covered each boy up and kissed their heads. "Ok I'm going to see big brother and sister now."

Right next door, he went to Ciel first. "Ciel? Its dad." "Come in dad." Koa walked in and said, "You all ready for bed?" "Yeah I am. Dad? When we go over there tomorrow, how long will we have to stay?" "I don't know Ciel hopefully not too long. Your mom and I will go over there once we know you are safe to find out what's going on ok? Protect your sister and brothers ok?" "Yeah dad. I will." "OK I'm going to see your sister now. I just wanted to make sure your ok with everything that happened lately." "Yeah dad I'm good." Koa went over and ruffled Ciels head. "Dad!" "Haha. You definitely take after your mother." "Is that a compliment or an insult?" "Haha Aren't we using big words. It can be used however you want. It was meant as a complement. I'm going to check on your sister now." "Night dad. I love you." "Love you too Ciel good night." He left Ciel's room and went next door to Keeva's room.

"Keeva its dad." "Come in dad." "Hey there. You all ready for bed?" "Yeah I am. Is mom going to be ok?" "Yes your mother will be fine. Haha you take after me and Ciel takes after mom." "Oh dad." "Are Fox and Frost doing ok dad?" "Yes they are fine. So is Ciel." "I know dad. I can always tell he is ok and the other way around." "Oh yeah the twin thing. I wonder if Fox and Frost have it? Anyway how do you feel about what's going on? Are you doing ok?" (Sigh) "I'm doing as well as I can in these situations." "Haha you and your brother acting all mature now. My babies are getting so big. Tear." "Hehe Oh dad your funny." "haha ok bedtime." Koa tucked Keeva in and kissed her head. "Night dad I love you." "Night Keeva I love you too." He walked out and sighed. (sigh) "Anyone up there. Please protect my kids. They don't need anymore danger in their young lives." He said to looking to the sky. Then not far from them was his and Raven's room.

Koa walked in the room and saw Raven was already asleep. He went in next to her and hugged her. She felt his presence and woke up. "How are the kids?" "Oh they are fine. Ciel takes after you and Keeva after me." "Hehe oh really? That's cute. I wonder who Fox and Frost will take after." "Haha I'm afraid to know."

"Hehe ok lets go back to sleep."

The next morning Raven was getting looked at by the doctor. "Ok well you look ok now. Just be careful of that shoulder. I thought it would be better in a day but we will have to look at it again tonight and tomorrow morning." "Yes sir. I will try." The doctor went back to another room and Koa helped me up. "Oh yeah I wanted to talk to Jason before we headed out." "Ok little bit at a time Raven." "I know stop being such a worry wart. I'm fine."

Just as we were walking down the hall, we saw Jason. "Oh Jason. Good timing. We need to talk to you about something alone." "Ok uh where do you want to talk?" "Lets go to our room its not far." "Ok but hurry I was on my way for some businsess." "Oh OK sorry about that." So we went back to our room and sat on the couch and Jason on a chair. "Its about the safe house we were on our way to when It got destroyed. If it didn't work at the clan I was thinking it would be ok to head over there. Koa would be going of course." "Raven are you being serious right now? You know what happened to mom and dad. Do you want that to happen to Koa and the kids? That will be the first place they would think to look." "OK fine what if we all go and I head back myself. I haven't told Koa this yet I know he won't agree. Koa I'm sorry for saying this, but I made a deal with them. If I came along with them and see what they wanted Ciel and the kids would be safe. So it might not come to that. If it does though what about what I just said Jason?" (Sigh) "I would say it still isn't safe. I know your going to do it anyway. Dad did the same thing. Just be careful and don't get anyone killed ok?" "Sorry to bring it up again Jason. It's a serious issue. Ciel is in danger." "Yeah I know. You heard what I said. Well I'm already late see you guys later." "Bye Jason." "Bye Raven." Raven plopped on her bed then her should hurt. "Damn! I forgot about my shoulder that hurt. Koa I'm sorry honey." "I know. You know them well enough. Lets get the kids ready to go."
