Aisling and Yona head to the back porch to see why Remi has come. When they see her in the light she has blood everywhere. Her eyes are cut and bleeding ,her mouth is busted. She collapsed almost as soon as she arrived. Yona picks her up and carries her inside . Looking at Astila he yells call an ambulance now! His face is livid with rage but his voice is quivering with fear. Telling Aisling to bring a camera they need evidence before they can clean her wounds. He sees bruising around her neck. Onacona comes down stairs with Maureen they look at each other as if they know who may have done this. Yona looks at them with a puzzled look on his face.
"Spill it why do you look like that?" Yona yells at the two of them.
Maureen jumps startled at his anger.
"It's just it's the same way Aisling looked when she was beaten in high school. Almost like it could be the same person. " Onacona told him.
Astila gets Terry on the line and tells him to meet them at the hospital that Remi has been beaten nearly to death. While Aisling is snapping pictures Astila is treating her he notices she has been stabbed as well. Calling the hospital he gets through to the emergency room Doctor. Telling him to get him an operating room ready and why. Looking at Aisling he sees she is pale and scared. Over his shoulder he tells Salali to call Aunt Charlie and John . Get them and Audis to the hospital immediately. Maureen and Onacona starts to pray for Remi as they go outside to show the EMT's into the house . Astila rides with Remi everyone else follows.
Aisling is playing with her Uktena crystal nervously while constantly praying. When they arrive they move Remi straight into the operating room. Now they wait for Astila to do what he does best. The nurse comes out to let them know that luckily when Debra has surgery they were able to stock enough blood to help Remi. She asks that she call those on the list that match just in case. When everyone arrives at the hospital Crystal is with them. She hugs Yona immediately and begins to cry. When wiping her tears with his sleeve a small patch with her mommy's blood touched her face. She begins to scream uncontrollably as if she is being attacked. Crystal is seeing her mommy being attacked and feeling everything that happened.
Terry walks in to hear her screaming he looks at Aisling wondering if possibly Remi has died. Aisling shakes her head no that Crystal is like her and she touched something Remi did and is seeing the images of her mother's attack .
Terry just nods as if it normal ,he has known Aisling nearly his entire life and knows she is gifted . So for him nothing is impossible. He listens closely to Crystal and takes notes so he can ask Remi when she wakes up.
He looks at Charlie and takes her hand.
"Ms.Charlie I'm sorry but I need to ask you a few things. Do you know of anyone that would want to hurt Remi?"
Charlie shoots him an angry look.
"Terry you have known Remi her entire life. Who could hurt her. She doesn't speak to anyone . She doesn't cause trouble so you tell me who could possibly want to hurt her?" She breaks down and begins to cry. Aisling hands Terry her phone so he can see the pictures of her while Astila was treating her.
"That's not all she was stabbed in the side near her liver. That is why Astila is operating on her . " Terry looks at the pictures you can see the horror on his face. He can barely recognize Remi from the pictures.
"Astila says they will clean her up and are hoping that there won't be any broken bones in her face that the priority is to repair the liver and stop the bleeding. Terry nods and calls the station to give an update. Aisling's crystal begins to feel warm she looks at the family.
"I think we are about to have some very special visitors so please don't freak out on me." Within a couple of moments the family see who she is referring to. At the end of the hall come Morrigan and Uktena walking towards them. They are not dressed as they normally are. They are dressed in current clothes but the aura around them is unmistakable.
"You called for us child?" Morrigan nods to all . Aisling bows towards them
"I'm sorry I was so anxious that I was rubbing my crystal. Remi is in surgery we do not know if she will live or not. She was beaten but we do not know exactly by who." Morrigan wraps Aisling in her arms. Aisling begins to cry uncontrollably.
"Calm yourself you can not see the path if it is clouded by fear and negativity. We are here she is protected . She will be fine I promise. " looking at Crystal Morrigan reaches her hand to her.
Crystal takes her hand and Uktena's they from a circle of the three of them.
"Our darling child we are going to take something from you . It will only be for a short time. You are too young for this power right now. Do you agree to let us hold it safe for you till you are older?" Crystal nods in agreement. They both lay their hands on her head and a bright light fills the room. When the light fades only Crystal is standing there holding a butterfly necklace. Aisling walks over and places it around her neck. Crystal looks at her with a tear streaked face.
"Does this mean I won't be able to see things that others don't anymore?" Aisling kneels beside her and cups her face.
"Only for now , they took it so that you can't see bad things till you are older. When it's time they will give you back your gift." Crystal looks at Yona
"Will you still love me even if I'm not special anymore?" Yona grabs her up in his arms and hugs her as if his life depended on it.
"I will always love you and you are always special. " kissing her cheek he holds her close while waiting for the surgery to be over.
Inside the operating room Astila is having a hard time stopping the bleeding. Remi's vitals are bottoming out. He is on the verge of losing her. A warm glow fills the room he looks up and sees Uktena and Morrigan. He heart almost stops tears begin to fill his eyes . Oh please you cannot take her. He silently tells them. Uktena raises his hand and shakes his head. Inside of Astila's mind he hears.
"Do not be afraid calm yourself my son. It is not her time the father is not ready for her yet. She will live a long happy life . With that they were gone . Remi's vitals were climbing back up to normal and the bleeder was found and stitched. Closing her up Astila sighs with relief. Thankfully God intervened to save her. Thanking everyone on the emergency surgical team he goes out to tell the family. By the time he gets to the waiting room people are overflowing into the halls waiting for news. He goes straight to Aunt Charlie taking her hands.
"She is going to be ok. She is stable ,we will do a cat scan tomorrow to asses the damage to her face . " taking aunt Charlie into his arms her lets her cry , looking at his wife he sees her tears threatening to spill.
Astila puts his Doctor's face on as Aisling calls it to address everyone.
"She cannot be disturbed she is sedated to help with the healing so only one person at a time may go in. Except for Crystal she can take whom ever she wants with her to see her mommy. "He takes Crystal from his brothers lap and sits with her on his. Looking at her his heart is breaking for her
"Hey , my little imp. When you go in to see mommy she is going to be sleeping. She is going to be hooked up to a few machines and have some tubes. She is ok don't be scared. The machines are just monitoring her heartbeat and such so we don't have to keep disturbing her to check it. The tubes are to keep her hydrated and so I can give her medicine without disturbing her as well. You can take anyone you want when you go into to see her but you won't be able to wake her up. You can talk to her if you want she just won't be able to respond understand?" Crystal nods her head and hugs Astila tightly. Kissing him on the cheek.
"Thank you for saving my mommy ,I love you " squeezing him tightly she hugs him for a few extra minutes. Looking up at Yona she holds her arms up to him. He without question takes her back from his brother .
"Are you ready to go see mommy?" Yona asks her she nods ok. He carries her into the room not wanting her to run or possibly collapse when she sees Remi. When they go inside Crystal gasps are her mommy. Remi even cleaned up is barely recognizable. Holding the little one tightly his heart breaks at her cries.
"Mommy , I'm here with Yona. Astila made you better so you will be ok soon. Mommy when you wake up please you have to tell me who hurt you. That way we can find them. Please sleep well I love you. Mommy is it ok if I stay with Yona till you come home to me. " kissing her mommy's hand she tells him she wants to go. He takes her back out to the hallway .
"I am taking her to Aisling's she will be staying with me till her mommy comes home. " his tone left no room for anyone to dare argue with him. For now anything Crystal wants of him he is willing to do. He sees Terry on his way out.
"I take it you are the Sheriff? I am Remi's attorney and friend. You will keep me informed of your investigations. Also I want the case of her incident in High School reopened. Please send me all the information on the case to Aisling's house. The people who are responsible for both incidents will go to jail. I promise you that. " he walks away leaving the sheriff wondering who he is.
