Friends Care
Part 3
The
sheets had become a tangled mess as a result of his constant struggling, and he
now whimpered painfully as he sub-concisely continued to try to remove himself
from the entrapment. *Poor thing.* The Red Rangers protectors watched sadly as
Tommy once again howled in distress. “It’s better to just let him sleep for
now…… Once he wakes up we can help him.” Kat gave him that, *Yeah just keep
tellen yourself that* look. Deeply
upset, Jason and Kat went into the living room to watch TV and wait. It had
been one month since they had saved him and brought him back to their world.
One month since he had moved in to Kats house. One month of trying to help him
adjust. One month of trying to help him through his nightmares and memories of
everything that had happened to him. One, very, long, month. Settling on the
couch they impatiently flipped through the channels and waited.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*No! Please no more.* “No!”
Tommy was jerked painfully back into conciseness as the images of his nightmare
still hung vividly in his mind… Hurt and frightened he as quickly as possible
pulled himself out of bed and went to find his protectors.
Cautiously entering the living
room of the spacious house he found whom he needed. His companions perhaps
sensing him quickly rose from the couch and turned to face him. “Tommy it’s one
in the morning. You should be sleeping.” Tommy looked at Kat clearly upset by
the hard tone in her voice. “I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay, let’s just get you
back to bed.” Taking his hand she started to lead him out of the room but was
immediately stopped when he gave her a pleading look and began to whimper.
“What? What’s wrong?” Jason gave her a knowing look. And she immediately got
it. *He’s afraid to go back to sleep, the nightmares are just to much for him.*
Not wanting to further upset him Kat gave in, and with a sigh of defeat gently
lead her guest to the oversized couch in front of the TV. Sitting Tommy down
she and Jason suddenly noticed how badly he was trembling, then realizing that
he was only clad in a pair of boxers, got why. “Sigh, okay, just stay put while
I go get something to cover you up with.” The frightened Ranger nodded in
response. A minute later Jason returned with a warm blanket only to find that
Tommy had curled up and fallen back
asleep at the end of the couch, his head laying in Kats lap as she stroked him.
“Hhhh. At least he’s sleepn.” He gently wrapped the exhausted boy in the quilt
and went back to the movie.
Goldar slammed him down, face first onto the icy
concrete floor, Ritas laughing overriding his groans of pain. *Gods no, please
no. Not again.* Zedd watched intently as his Tangas and Goldar had their fun
with their pet. Ordering the Tangas to hold him Rita moved to sit on his
stomach her weight breaking his already cracked ribs. He tried desperately to
push her off him, as she promptly dug her claws into his hips and thighs
ripping and tearing his flesh to pieces. “Stop! Please no more!” Delighting in
his fear and pain, Rita and Zedd began to strike him harder. Tommys fruitless
struggling was rapidly replaced by loud pained cries and whimpers.
Jason quickly ran back to his
friends as Tommy let out another scream. *How much longer are these nightmares
going to last. Well I’m not going to listen to the poor thing whimper and
scream for another hour.* Making up their minds, Kat and Jason gently started
to shack him awake. Not quit reaching full conciseness he howled in distress
and shied away from the concerned Rangers.
“Tom. Tommy, it’s Kat. Look at
me baby.” Cautiously he opened his eyes and tried to push the last bit of his
nightmare away. Unable to do so though he trembled slightly and closed his eyes
again. Jason looked at him in concern. “You okay?" Taking a deep breath
Tommy slowly reopened his eyes. "I'm never going to be okay," He
whispered, trying to shake away the horrid memories.
Kat took his hand, trying to offer some kind of support and
comfort. “Sure you are. You just need a little more time.” “No. It’s never
going to stop.” She could see by the look in his eyes that he was serious. He
truly believed that he was never going to be better after what had happened.
“Let us help bro. We both care about you. Why won’t you let us help you?”
“Because…… I’m afraid.” “Of us?” He shook his head no. “Of being hurt again?”
Again no. “Of Bulk and Skull getting their own movie deal?!” That got at least
a small smile out of him. “I think everyone with any sanity is afraid of that.”
“Then what Beloved? Tell me and Jason so we can help.” She saw the tears start
to sparkle in his eyes. “I can’t.” He threw himself into her arms and cried
desperately, Kat held and lovingly stoked his back as he shivered and sobbed.
"It's okay. Everything will be all right. I promise. Nothing is going to
hurt you.” He was so scared and pathetic, just like he had been the night they
had saved him. Jason moved to hold them. "You’re safe Tom, every things
okay. Let us help.” He whimpered and clutched onto them both tighter in
response. “It’s gonna be all right honey. Please tell us what’s wrong.” “I…
can’t.” He gasped out between sobs.
After he had calmed down
somewhat Kat gently wiped the tears from his face as he stared up at her, a
confused and frightened look in his eyes. “I don’t know what to do.” He had
stopped crying now, but still whimpered softly. “Why can’t you tell us what’s
wrong, what happened to you?” “Because….. Ilvyo..” Kat was sure she had miss
heard him. “What?” He looked at her longingly. “I love you…. I.. I just…” She
gently lifted his head so that their eyes meet. “If you love me tell me what’s
wrong.” “I can’t.” “Why?’ “Because.. you’ll send me back.” “Baby I’d never send
you back. And neither would Jason.” They both gave him soft reassuring smiles.
He hung his head in pure shame and sighed in defeat.
He curled up against them and
began in a trembling voice. “It was so cold. I was in this dark cell…… they
held me to the ground and ripped my clothes off. I tried to get away… but they
were to strong…” He choked back a sob. “They beat and clawed at me for hours at
a time, some times my bones broke or they’d cut me with daggers.” He stopped
for a minute trying to keep from bursting into tears again “But then they got
bored so they started to just torture me. Goldar would hold me down and Zedd
would take these torches and burn me. It hurt so much, and I couldn’t do any
thing but scream and cry.” Tommy rested his head on Jasons shoulder and allowed
the tears to come. “I’m so sorry we didn’t get there sooner.” He sniffled. “I
know.”
But he didn’t know. He had been certain that once they had
found out how weak and pathetic he had acted that they would surely decide he
wasn’t worth the trouble and send him away.
But instead Kat had brushed the tears off his face and was
now rocking him in her arms and trying to comfort him. He had no clue what to
do. So he again said the first thing that came to mind. “I’m tired.” Kat gave
him a soft kiss. "I know baby."
Jason
shifted him slightly to get a look at his watch, one forty-five. “How bout we take
you back to bed and you can get some sleep.” He nodded against his shoulder.
“Okay. Come on.” Jason and Kat easily helped him up and lead him back to his
room.
“I
love you.” He whispered before tiredly cuddling back down under the covers and
closing his eyes. “We love you too.” Kat and Jason both kissed him and quietly
slipped out of the room. He would be okay.
