The Fallen Son

Keith chugged down another beer with the three boys by his side.  Keith had regularly bought the minors their beers and drank with them in the alleyway late at night. He crushed the can with his hand and let out a disgusting wet belch. 

He threw the can to the ground and looked at his watch with a groan. "My little bitch is coming over. She said she wants to chat."

Eric groaned. "Chicks just like to nag.  They should just spread 'em and shut the fuck up."

Jason laughed. "Chicks are just here to weaken us, man.  Who needs 'em?"

Keith grinned. "Oh, my little chick is a dirty girl.  She does everything I say."

Andrew wiped his mouth clean of the beer. "Sounds sweet. Who is the broad? Anyone we know?"

"Aria Itemri."

Eric spit out his beer. "ARIA!  YOU KNOW HER?"

"Know her?  Oh, I know her, alright," Keith said licking his lips.  "I've known her a few times already….and she can't get enough of her sugar daddy."

Eric crossed his arms.  "You say she's coming over today?"

"Yeah, I gotta get back to my apartment."

Eric narrowed his eyes. "I'll tell you what, Keith.  You've been so good buying us beer and all that, what do you say we come over and pay you a visit?"

"You boys want a piece of her, too?"

Eric shrugged. "If you're offering, Bandit, how can we say no?"

*******************************

Aria stood in front of Keith's door, wringing her hands nervously.  She stared at the doorknob fidgeting. 

'I have to do this. I can't do this to my family anymore.'

Aria took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Come in, Sugar Tits."

The girl rolled her eyes. 'What did I ever see in him, anyway?'

She entered and shut the door behind her.  "Keith, umm….I have to talk to you for a moment."

Keith pat his lap. "Get over here, dirty girl."

"I prefer to stand."

Keith pat his lap harder. "Get over here."

Aria groaned and sat on his lap reluctantly.  "Keith, I can't stay long."

Keith's hand ran up her thigh.  "You must be hot in those clothes, Angel Drawers.  Why don't you take them off?"

"No, Keith. I have to tell you something."

Keith slowly started to unbutton her top, but she quickly buttoned them up again.  "You talk too much.  Just sit here and let Daddy Keith do his thing."

Aria watched as Keith's hand slipped under her dress and started touching her womanhood. "Keith, stop."

"You don't want me to stop, babe….you want me to keep going."

Keith used her other hand to pull her down into a deep kiss as he touched her.  Her hands pushed against Keith to push herself away, but the strong man was no match for her.

The strong man's digits teased her, making her moan into the kiss. Her attempts at retaliation continued, despite the sensations flowing through her body.

Aria pulled back. "Keith, stop. I don't want to do this."

Keith cradled her in his arms and carried her into the bedroom. "When a woman says no, she really means yes."

Aria punched Keith. "PUT ME DOWN!"

"With pleasure, Angel Tits!" 

Keith tossed her on her back.  Her back hit the mattress and she was suddenly pinned under his weight.  "Like I said, dirty girl, you must be hot with all of those clothes.  Let me take care of that for you."

Keith tore open her shirt and she was suddenly frozen with fear.   Keith grabbed the pocket knife by his bedside and cut her bra off of her.

"There we go….Almost there."

"Keith! Stop this!  I don't want you to do this to me!"

Keith held a hand on her as he pulled down her skirt and panties. She grabbed his arm and tried to scratch him away, but all he did was laugh at her.

"My dirty little girl wants her Sugar Daddy that bad, huh?"

Aria swallowed hard as Keith pulled down his jeans. "Keith, stop!  No!"

"Why say no when your body says yes?"

Keith covered her with his body and held her down, despite her best attempts at bucking him off.  "That's it, my dirty girl….Give your daddy what he likes!"

//ATEN!//

/……………../

//ATEN! HELP!//

/……Fear……………..Gods… 230;/

//ATEN, PLEASE!//

Aria suddenly became aware of a pressure on her chest and something being pressed past her lips as she tried to communicate to her brother through the mindlink.

//ATEN!//

/…….I'm going to be sick………..sweet Isis……/

Keith threw his head back as he rhythmically moved his length past Aria's lips.  "Oh yeah….you're such a dirty little girl……Just the way daddy likes it."

/Gods………………sick./

Aria bit down, making Keith yelp in pain.  Keith rolled off of her and she jumped off of the bed.  She rattled the door. It was locked.

She tried accessing her Shadow Powers, but she was too frazzled….too afraid….she couldn't focus any of her energy.

Keith grabbed her as she struggled off the bed. He threw her down on it and made her swallow around him.

//ATEN!//

Aria watched the door fly open and saw Eric, Jason, and Andrew walk in.

//ATEN! ERIC'S HERE!//

Keith turned back. "You little bastards don't have any patience, do you?"

Eric pulled off his shirt.  "I told you that you'd be mine some day, Aria."

/Where is Keith's apartment?/

Jason and Andrew went to Aria's wrists and held her down. They kissed her pale white skin.

"You creeps, let me go!"

Eric laughed. "You talk too much!  Let's put your tongue to better use!"

Eric pressed his lips against her roughly.  He hungrily kissed her, grabbing her white spikes.

//He lives on Cherry Blossom...AH!//

Keith plowed into her roughly with a laugh. "Who's my dirty little girl?"

/GODS! SWEET ISIS! PAIN!/

//Aten, block me!//

/No....I can't find you then....I can't find you if you block yourself from me!/

//Aten, don't! Please! I can handle this!//

Eric kissed down Aria's breast, suckling on a nipple. "I get to take her next!"

Jason looked up. "I get to take her next! No fair!"

Andrew brought Aria into a deep kiss and was too busy to demand his turn. 

Keith plowed into her, his older body slipping through her now-crimson passage. 

Eric continued to lick her nipple, grinning at the teardrop falling down her cheek.  "Aww...Baby Aria is crying! Cry! Cry! Cry!"

Aria couold feel Aten's fear and anger throught he link.  Aten was feeling everything she was...why wasn't he staying away after all she had said to him?

Keith grabbed her hips and moaned.  "Come for me, you dirty little girl!"

Aria tried to hold back to deprive them of what they wanted to see.

"You have to come sometime, Aria," Eric said with a devilish grin.  He straddled her  chest and roughly pushed his member into her mouth with a pleasured sigh.  "Oh, yeah, baby…."

Aria felt Keith pound into her harder. With a muffled scream, she climaxed around Keith.

The man grabbed her hips tight. "That's my dirty girl…here comes….daddy!"

Keith tensed, sending his warm release into Aria's body.

Keith laughed. "That was a good fuck.  Thanks, babe."

Jason left Aria's chest and moved between her legs.  He used his tongue to clean up her bitter juices.

Andrew held her wrists down, watching Eric move rhythmically out of Aria's mouth. The girl frozen, felt something else enter her and she whimpered.

Jason's pleasurable moan filled the room as he invaded Aria. The girl gave a cry as a similar scream resonated through the mindlink to her brother.

//Aten! Don't!//

/Grandfather…..no…I can't…..let…..Aria…..down!/  A child's cry sounded through the mindlink.

Aria felt repetitious slams into her body as Eric removed his hard flesh from her mouth.  "If you want more, wait until I get a slice of your pie."

Jason screamed his release into Aria and moaned as she climaxed for him.

"She certainly is a dirty little slut, Keith," Jason said as he and Eric exchanged places.

Jason straddled her chest. "Clean me up!"

Aria's body tensed as she felt Eric invade her again.  With no opportunity to recover from her last climax, she let out a cry of pain.

/ARIA!....Where….on….Cherry….gods…pain…B lossom…Road?/

//Aten……//

/Sister….tell…me…/

//Apartment…..2….0….6//

Aria's head flew to the side as Jason slapped her.

"Keep your eyes on me, you slut!"

"Jason…let me see…Aria," Eric grunted.

Jason slid off of Aria and Eric pounded hard into her, making her body ache with each penetration.

"I want to see the fear in your eyes," Eric grabbed her throat and squeezed it roughly.

Keith watched Aria as she gagged. "Be a good girl, Aria."

The door to the room swung open as Aten ran in.

Eric climaxed, sending his release into Aria.

Aten gasped. "ARIA!"

Jason grabbed Aten and threw him against the wall. "get out of here, fag!  This is no place for you!"

Aten watched Eric slam into Aria harshly.  Aria arched her back with a strangled cry.

Tears came down Aten's eyes. "Sister...."

Before Aten could react, he found himself laying beside Aria on his back.Andrew crawled on top of Aten. "Let's see if the brother is as pleasantly fuckable as his sister."

Andrew leaned down and captured Aten's lips.  The Egyptian teen froze.  Keith pushed Eric aside

and hovered over Aria again.

Aten turned his head to face Aria and saw his sister watching him.

Andrew grabbed Aten's shirt and tried to pull it over Aten's head.

"Stop!" Aten cried in protest.

Eric walked around to Aten and slapped his face. "You stop it, you faggot!"

Aria narrowed her eyes as she watched Aten's assault.  Her canines grew and she growled.

Aten turned his head and faced her.

///Let me take over, Aten…..you're too scared….Remember your grandfather….avenge yourself now….Let your anger fuel your fury.  Remember your helplessness…..Let your hatred for your grandfather make these mortals piles of dust!"

Aten looked up at Andrew. His eyes grew black as coal. His white and blond hair spiked. His nails sharpened and his canines grew.  "I'm your worse nightmare…Yami Aten!"

Yami Aten ripped a hand free from Andrew's grasp and grabbed the other teens neck.  He sunk his claws into Andrew's neck and pulled the boy's head down.

Yami Aten bit into the side of Andrew's neck, biting a chunk out of the flesh. Yami Aria growled and  punched Keith in the jaw.  She stood up, the smell of the blood between her legs igniting her bloodlust. Keith fell unconscious on the floor from the force of Yami Aria's strong blow.

Yami Aten threw Andrew back and stood up, glaring daggers towards Eric's direction. A deep growl emanated from both yami teens.

Eric jumped back as he saw the two yami siblings. "HOLY SHIT!"

Jason watched in shock as Andrew's body slowly stopped twitching.  He tried to run past Aten, but Aten caught him by the scruff of the neck. 

"Do you enjoy rape, Jason?  Did you enjoy yourself with my sister?  I hope you did!"

Eric trembled as he faced Yami Aria. "Get…Get away from me!" Eric grabbed a pocket knife and held it in front of himself.

Yami Aria lunged for him and he swung the pocket knife. He leaped onto the bed and ran out of the door, dropping the knife.

Yami Aten watched Eric leave furiously.  "Aria, bring me the knife."

Yami Aria staggered over to her brother and offered him the blade.

The white-and-blond haired yami held the blade to Jason's chin.  "You are the only one left….the question remains…what to do with you?  I certainly can't let you go unpunished for what you have done to my sister.  What shall I cut on you first?"

Yami Aria wavered behind her brother and sat on the bed, her body emotionally and physically drained.

Aten dragged the blade over Jason's skin lightly.  "I don't think you will need this anymore."

Yami Aten sliced Jason's penis with the blade, allowing half of it to hang detached from the rest of his body.

Jason let out a scream of pain as blood poured from the limp, half-severed member.

"Think of this before you ever think of putting your fucking hands on my sister again!  Come near her again and I will hang you by your own intestines!"

Aria fell backwards on the bed, her hair less spiky and her body panting heavily. "Aten….."

Yami Aten dropped Jason and watched the boy hold himself with pain. "Sister?"  The yami sat beside his sister. "You're going to be okay, sister.  Let me take you home."

"Aten…..I…I don't know if I can walk."

Yami Aten let out a cry of pain and hunched forward, grabbing his chest.

///I can't keep this up……it's…too much on the heart….///

/Gods….let me back in control…./

Aten opened his eyes and looked around at the destruction.  "Sister!  Oh no!" Aten grabbed one of Keith's shirts and put it over his sister.  He grabbed a pair of shorts.  All he needed to do was clothe his sister enough to get her home.

"Aria, I know it hurts to walk, but you have to get up."

Aria sobbed.  "I thought Keith loved me!"

"No, Aria….he didn't."

Aten helped his sister stand up.  With every step she winced and whimpered in pain.  "Aria, I know….you're doing well."

Aten could feel the pressure in his heart building as he practically carried her.  The night air was cool. He was hoping that his mother was not awake to watch them come in. The last thing Aria needed right now was an assault of questions.

He helped her inside. The house was dark.  His mother and the adults were asleep.  Ryou was exhausted and was catching up on some much-needed sleep.

Aten helped her up the steps.  He took Aria to the bathroom and ran a bath for her.

"Get undressed. I'll be back in a second," the teenage boy said.

Aria undressed and settled in the water.  She winced as the water stung her abused skin.  She added some bubble bath to it and she sighed.  The gentle bubbles helped her relax.

Aten entered and he brought her some Tylenol. "These helped me after my incidents, sister.  Here's some water."

Aten sat by the bathtub, wringing his hands nervously.  "I have a towel and washcloth ready," he said handing them to her.

"Aten…..why did you come for me?  You knew what was happening."

Aten bit his lip nervously. "Because you are my sister.  And I love you.  That's why."

She lowered her head. "How did you manage to get to the apartment with you feeling everything?"

"It was not easy.  I fell to my knees a few times, but I had to come and help you.  At least I came to help you…..nobody came to help me," Aten added sadly.  "Do you still think that you don't need me?"

Aria's eyes watered with tears. "I am so sorry, Aten….I do need you.  You're my brother….and….I'm sorry you had to go through this just for me."

"You're safe, Aria. That's all that matters to me right now," Aten said rubbing his chest.

When Aria was done in the tub, Aten handed her another towel.

"Aten…..this is going to sound childish…but….can you sleep in my bed tonight?"

Aten smiled and hugged her. "I can do anything you want, sister."

Aria dressed in satin pajamas and slipped into bed. Her brother slipped beside her.

Aria cuddled against Aten's chest and listened to the uneven heart beat.  "Are you okay, Aten?"

Aten winced as a terrible pain shot through his chest. "Yeah….I'm..okay. Tonight was a strain on the heart, but that's okay."

Aten wrapped his arms around Aria and closed his eyes.

Aria held onto her brother. "I thought Keith cared for me…..Why would he do this?.....I want Umi back."

*******************************

Aten opened his eyes from the chest pains.  His angina had returned.  He couldn't think of taking more time off from school.  His heart problems had interfered too many times in his academics.  Besides, he had to submit an essay to his English teacher.   He saw Aria lying on her bed with her knees drawn up to her chest.  She was cuddling her pink bunny plushie she had since she was born.

"Sis?  Aria? You ok?"

Aria looked up at her brother.  "I was a fool, Aten.  I was a fool to trust Keith!"

Aten caressed her hair. "Everyone makes mistakes, sis.  I wish I had known what he was doing to you earlier."

"That was the first time he ever….did anything like that to me.  I thought…..I thought he loved me, Aten."

Aten wrapped his arms around his sobbing sister.  "That wasn't love, sis.  I never would think of treating Robbie like that."

Aria whimpered as she clutched onto her stomach.  It was in pain. 

"Have you stopped bleeding?"

Aria nodded. "Yes, but…..it hurts, Aten."

Aten kissed her ear. "I know it does, sis. Do you want me to tell mother you are staying home from school today?"

"NO!  I can't let mom think something is wrong with me!"

"Aria, you have to tell them what happened.  You need to see Zira!  You just lost a child and you went through this.  Sister, I think you should see Zira."

Aria gripped onto her pink bunny plushie. "No, Aten! He can't find out about this either!"

"Aria, what if you are hurt?  I don't want to see you in pain!"

Aria sat up and gripped her stomach tightly.  She almost fell forward as pain wracked through her hips and abdomen.  "I can't…stay home…I have to go to school."

Aria stood up and staggered to the bathroom where Aten could hear her throwing up. 

Aten leaned over and gripped his chest as his own familiar discomfort returned.  He had to go to school….there was no way out of it.

Aria left the bathroom and saw him panting heavily against the wall. "Aten? You Ok?"

Aten nodded. "Yeah….fine….gotta shower before school."

He stripped and showered, feeling parts of his body go numb and then returning to normal.  Aten dressed in his jeans and a purple sweater.  Aria showered and dressed in black jeans and black t-shirt.  She put her hair up in a ponytail and made sure the bruise on her chest was covered and invisible. 

She ran downstairs for breakfast and saw her mother rubbing Aten's back gently.

"Son, tell me what happened. Why do you have that bruise on your face?"

Aten shook his head and leaned over squinting his eyes.

"Your heart is acting up again, isn't it? Baby, I don't think you should go to school today."

Aten shook his head. "I have to go, mother.  I have to hand in an essay to the teacher and I can't miss another day in English.  If I do, the teacher will fail me!"

Ryou wrapped his arms around Aten. "Please, Aten!  The teacher will understand if I speak to him."

Aten opened  his pill bottle and took a pill into his mouth. He gulped a glass of water and gripped onto the countertop tightly.  "I have to go," he said with a deep breath.

Ryou released Aten sadly. "Ok, but if you need me, please have the office call me. Promise?"

Aten hugged his mother. "I will, mother."

***********************

Aten and Aria's lockers were side by side.   Aten grabbed his textbooks and felt a pair of hands on each of his shoulders.

"Hello, Robbie," Aten said without turning around.

"How'd you know it was me?"

Aten turned his head smiling. "Call it instinct."

Aria sighed and Aten closed his locker. Aria wrapped her arms around Aten. "I love you, Aten."

Aten gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I love you, too, Aria.  I'll see you in a little bit."

Aria left to talk to Gabby at her locker down the hall.  Robbie's eyes widened at the bruise on Aten's cheek. His hand brushed lightly over it.

"Aten, what happened to your cheek?"

Aten shook his head. "It's nothing."

"You look very pale today. Heart problems again?"

Aten shook his head. "It's nothing."

Robbie tilted Aten's chin up to look at him in the eyes. "Look me in the eyes and tell me that it's nothing."

Aten's eyes drifted over to the lockers avoiding his gaze. "Sorry, Robbie, I'm just not feeling very well today. I had a late night last night. I was up with Aria."

Robbie turned his head to see Aria hugging Gabby. "Is she sick?"

Aten pulled Robbie into the boys' bathroom.  "I was right about Keith, Robbie. I was right."

"About him being a complete and total asshole?  I could have told you that one. It doesn't take a genius to figure that one out."

Aten hugged Robbie. "I saw him…..and not only him…with Aria last night.  Robbie, that bastard raped my sister."

Robbie gasped and held Aten at arm's length. "Are you sure?"

Aten nodded. "I caught Eric, Jason, Andrew, and Keith….raping her. Andrew tried to rape me, too."

Robbie pulled Aten close to him. "Aten, are you ok? He didn't hurt you, did he?" Robbie caressed Aten's hair.

"No. But…I killed Andrew."

Robbie rocked Aten in his arms. "He deserved it, Aten."

"I would have done worse to those bastards, but Aria was bleeding so bad, I had to get her home and cleaned."

Robbie tilted Aten's head up. "So, who hit you?"

"Eric slapped me across the face. Andrew forced me to kiss him."

Robbie kissed Aten's forehead as the bell rang for Homeroom. "My poor Aten…I better get to homeroom, Aten. I'll see you in English class."

Aten nodded and gave Robbie a kiss on the collarbone. "See you in class, Robbie."

***************************

Aria sat in front of Aten. When she saw him enter, he looked pale and tired.  She watched him sit behind her and put his head on the desk.

"Aten? You feeling ok?"

Aten shook his head. "I just have to make it to Physical Science. Then I can go home."

Aria brushed back the hair from his face. "Aten, please go home."

Aten shook his head. "I can't, sis. I have to stay."  Aten's arm trembled and his body shivered. Aria could feel pain coming from his chest, but he was denying how much it hurt.  "I'm ok…really."

The teacher took roll call and made the announcements for the day.  Aten closed his eyes and woke up when the bell rang for the  end of Homeroom. 

Aria turned to Aten. "Have a good day, Aten. See you at lunch. Take care of yourself."

Aten smiled. "I will, sister."

Aten went to his first class, English.  Robbie met him at the staircase they used to get to the next floor. 

"Did you finish the reading for today?" Robbie asked him as he opened the door.  They climbed the steps slowly.  Robbie watched Aten pant as he climbed the steps.  They arrived to class just after the bell rang for the beginning of the period.  Robbie sat in the front row. Aten in the back of the row. 

Aten used the desks to help him get to the teacher. He handed Mr. Jensen his essay and sat back down in his chair.

Robbie looked back at Aten and saw him rubbing the back of his neck.  Aten's eyes looked at the clock….9:30.  Aten shook his head. He had to stay until 2:00.  That was only……four and a half hours to go.

Aten's hand moved to his right arms gripping it. The feeling had disappeared from his arm again.  He rubbed it and gripped it, figuring it would return a level of sensation to his arm. 

The room began to spin as the teacher stood at the board putting vocabulary words on the board.

"Aten Ishtar?"

Aten's eyes saw three of Mr. Jensen at the blackboard. "Aten Ishtar, read the next paragraph."

Aten looked at the words….none of the letters made sense. /I can't read this!  Why? I was able to read it yesterday!/ "Umm……I…which one are we on, sir?"

Jensen turned to Robbie. "Mr. Morgan, can you please read the paragraph for Mr. Ishtar, since it is obvious he is not paying attention?"

Robbie narrowed his eyes at the book in front of him and began to read.

Aten looked up at the clock…9:45.  Aten's eyes squinted as he rested his head down on the desk.  Searing pain shot from his chest to the rest of his body. /Too much….pain./

///You're dying…….I can feel it….///

"Mr. Ishtar, I will not have you sleeping during my class."

Aten lifted his head and his breathing became uneven.  Aten struggled to raise his hand.  /Please…….help me./

"Mr Ishtar, you will have to wait until Mr. Morgan finishes the paragraph that you were supposed to be reading. Continue, Robbie."

/Robbie………/

Robbie turned around to look at Aten. "Mr. Morgan, turn around and continue reading."

/Robbie…/ Aten looked up at the clock……..9:55.

///Last night was too hard…..///

/Robbie……I love you………/ Aten felt his heart skip and he gripped his chest gasping for breath. 

Aten looked up at the clock…….9:56.

/This……is it….I…have to tell him……..before…..I../

Aten dropped his pencil and slowly slid himself out of his desk.

"Mr. Ishtar, get back in your seat!"

/Can't….must tell Robbie…..I love him…../

///So this is it….you die in school….how sad.///

Robbie turned around and saw Aten using the desks to help him stand up. 

"Aten?"

/I'm going to die…………../

Aten looked up at the clock…… 9:59.

/Goodbye……….Robbie…….love you with all my heart./

///Death.///

"Robbie…….," Aten whimpered as he knees buckled under him. "I…..love………you."

Robbie jumped out of his seat as Aten gripped his chest and looked up into the ceiling.  He caught Aten as he fell into his arms. Robbie started to shake and checked his friend's pulse. 

Aten wasn't breathing and his pulse was absent. Robbie looked up at the clock…….. 10:00. 

Aten had died before he hit Robbie's arms.

Robbie rocked Aten in his arms and sobbed. "ATEN!  PLEASE! DON'T LEAVE ME!"

Jensen  ran to the phone in the class and called the nurse and told her Aten had collapsed. 

"Aten, please! You can't die on me!" The class rose out of their chairs as Robbie motioned them away. "Aten! Please breathe!"

 Robbie wailed into Aten's motionless chest.  "You can't leave me, Aten! GOOD GOD, DON'T TAKE HIM FROM ME!  I never told him how I felt!"

The nurse ran in and gave CPR.  "I called the ambulance!"

Robbie rubbed Aten's hand and gripped it tightly.  "Don't leave…Aten, I'm here…," he whispered.

The ambulance came and they injected Aten's arm with a medicine to help stimulate his heart.  They were wheeling Aten out of the room and Robbie followed them. 

Mr. Jensen grabbed Robbie's arm. "Mr. Morgan, return to your---."

Robbie pulled his arm away violently and ran out of the room.

The principal heard the medics and saw Robbie follow the medics, sobbing wildly. Robbie tried to pull away from the principal. 

"I have to go with Aten!  Don't let me leave him,  Mrs. Gansey!  Please!"

The woman took the hysterical Robbie's hand.  "Robbie,  you can't go with them."

"Please! Please! Aten needs me!" Tears were spilling over Robbie's face.

"Let the doctors handle it, Robbie."

People came out of the offices and watched Aten being wheeled down the steps and out the door.  Robbie tugged desperately on Gansey.

"I have to go with him! Don't let me leave him! ATEN! I love you….."

Gansey pulled him to her chest and hugged him.  Robbie's knees grew weak and he fell to his knees as the piercing siren died into the distance.

Robbie let out a long wail of pain as Gansey hugged him tightly.

Gansey's secretary came out of the office. "Call Aten Ishtar's parents and tell them what happened. Pull his sister out of class and bring her to my office."

Gansey cradled Robbie in her arms. She knew the two boys were close. 

Gansey lifted her head up to see Aria standing in the hallway looking at Robbie cuddled up against her.  Aria's teacher ran down the hallway ordering Aria back into class.

She heard the ambulance outside of her class.  "Brother…..Dear Ra, no," she whispered as she buried her face in her hands. 

Robbie buried his face against her.  "He died in my arms, Julia." A sob escaped his throat. "I cannot live without him…….I love him."

Mrs. Gansey saw Aria standing there. "Oh! Aria, I'm sorry, but your brother was just taken to the hospital."

Aria leaned against the lockers as she felt a sharp stab of pain in her chest.  "Aten….this is all my fault…."

 "He died in my arms and I couldn't tell him how I felt!  I was a coward!"  Robbie's eyes squinted as he sobbed. "I have to be with Aten! I have to go with him! Please! Let me go, Mrs. Gansey!"

Robbie struggled with the principal.  The hysterical boy trembled and wailed loudly.  Mrs. Gansey turned to her secretary. "Help me get Mr. Morgan to the Infirmary. Ms. Itemri, follow me."

Robbie could barely stand as he was supported by the man and woman to the Infirmary.  Aria followed behind the trio, desperately trying to reach her brother through the mindlink, and failing.

Robbie collapsed again, sobbing pitifully in the Infirmary.  Aria sat in a chair and sobbed into her hands.

Mrs. Gansey dialed Miranda's number as the nurse comforted the sobbing girl and boy.

"Mrs. Morgan?"

[Yes?  Mrs. Gansey?]

"We need you to come take your son to the hospital.]

Miranda gasped. [Oh no!  Oh my God, is he okay?]

"His friend, Aten Ishtar, was just rushed to the hospital."

[Oh gods…..what happened?]

"I'm not sure. Your son was making quite a commotion in the hallway and well…..you can hear how bad he is."

[Yes, I can….I'll be right there.]

Mrs. Gansey sat in front of Robbie. "Robbie, I need you to take a deep breath slowly.  Dave, Mrs. Morgan will arrive shortly to take Robbie to the hospital. Let me know when she arrives."

The tall man left and Mrs. Gansey watched as Robbie looked up at her with his blue eyes full of tears.

"Robbie, can you tell me what happened?"

Robbie sniffled and Aria moved beside the boy.  Aria held onto Robbie's hand reassuringly.

"Mr. Jensen asked Aten to read and he couldn't find his place.  Then….then…he..he…..he stood up and said that he loved me.  He fell and I caught him.  He didn't have a pulse when…." Robbie covered his face with his hands again. "Aten…."

"What happened, Robert?"

Robbie wiped his eyes. "He didn't have a pulse when he hit my arms."

Aria held onto Robbie tighter.  "Aten just said my name through our mindlink. Then he was gone."

Robbie turned and buried his face in Aria's shoulder.  When Miranda came in, Robbie tried to stand up, but he fell to his knees.

"Mom….Aten……"

"It's okay, Robbie…Mrs. Gansey, can I take Aria with me? She should be there for her brother."

Gansey nodded. "Go on."

Robbie gripped onto his mother.  "Aten…..I love you."

Next Chappie: Robbie tells Aten that he loves him. No I did not kill him off!!!!!!
