Skye Prower

Skye managed to smile. "Thank's Tikal. You're right. He's come back from worse." -------------- "He... he wouldn't...?" asked Anna

Skye broke off the hug, but still kept ahold of Tikal. He glanced towards Locke. "It's Dad. I dunno if he's gonna be okay." "But I pushed him over. I was arguing with him..." said Anna

"If they're not at the hotel they might still be at the cafe," said Melody.

Skye spun around and, seeing Tikal, hugged her tightly, not yet bringing himself to answer the question. "It might make more sense if you go then Dylan. You can bring some of them back, as could Shadow and Crowley, if they wanted to come," said Melody. "Dad wasn't sick until I showed up," Anna whispered.

"Thank's Tikal," replied Skye. Anna didn't reply to Red, she just bowed her head. "I could run back and ask them to gather here," suggested Melody.

Skye managed to smile when he heard the comfort of Tikal's voice. "It's... it's Dad. Somethings happened with him and.... And I'd like you here... if that's alight..." "We.. maybe we should tell the others... I dunno," fretted Melody, glancing at Red. "I can't help but feel it's my fault," said Anna. "That I've made things worse since I came."

Skye stepped away from the bed and sat down on a nearby chair. He took out the leaf Tikal had gave him a held it carefully. "Tikal? Can you hear me?" he said quietly. "Knuckles need's to know... The other's.... I dunno," said Melody. "I made this worse. I drove Dad too this," said Anna quietly. "If I hadn't been pushing so hard at the cafe.." Melody glanced over at her sister with a look that clearly said 'Don't say things likes that.'

"If he did," said Skye looking up, "we need to get him to stop. He did it because he cared for us. But we'll need to make him understand doing so is only gonna hurt us too if this keeps happening." Melody glanced over to Dylan. "Dylan, what's up?" she asked, seeing his thoughtful look, Anna still clung tightly to Red. "I'm sorry Mom," she whispered.

Anna went straight over to Red and clung onto her. "Dad... Dad's been pushing himself to hard," Melody explained as she walked over to Red. "Stress... and he's not been sleeping...."

"I knew he cared deeply for us but..." Skye was unable to finish. "When he wakes up, we're gonna put a stop to it. He's not gonna scare us like this again," said Melody. She looked around. "Where's Mom?" she asked.

"Dad wasn't sleeping? No wonder he collapsed," said Skye, walking back over to Locke's side.

The two girls stood next to Locke as Skye continued talking. "This is my fault. I pushed Dad too far. I just destroy everything for you and Skye," said Anna. She gave a yelp of pain as Melody slapped the back of his head. "What have I told you. Don't ever say things like that. This isn't your fault." Skye took a deep breath as he finished his story. "Yeah. It's been a helluva week,"

"You might want to sit down," said Skye, as he began to retell everything that had happened.

"Stress? A stroke. But he's... He's gonna be alright isn't he?" asked Skye

"Then... then what's causing this?" asked Skye

"There was a battle this morning. Some kind of invading army... Should we check the Master Emerald?" asked Skye.

"No. We didn't notice anything," said Melody.

The children glanced at each other. "We... we were... Dad was trying to talk Anna out of a ritual to remove some of her powers," said Skye, as Anna studied her feet.

"Five, maybe ten minutes" answered Skye, as the infirmary door burst open as Melody and Anna arrived.

"They.. there should be," said Skye. "There's quite a few of them." He headed to the intercom and activated it. "Hello? Anyone there? Dad's... Dad's sick and needs help."

"Here we go Dylan. In here," said Skye as he entered the infirmary. ------- "Okay Anna, follow me," said Melody. "I'll show you the way," she called. 'Sorry Hope, but I gotta look after Dad', she thought as she started to run.

"The infirmary is just over here," said Skye, showing the way.

(ooc: Don't worry, I got confused too!) Skye took ahold of Dylan again. "Ready."

"I.. I thought we were going to Haven?" said Skye, looking around. (ooc: But both Haven and the hotel have been mentioned so confusion here is understandable.)

Skye did as Dylan asked. "I'll see you there," he said to his sisters.
