A Dark Night
A Dark Night https://www.roleplayer.me/Kimmy_Hart "Kim, meet us at 6:30 down at Mark's Pizza, okay?" Zack chuckled watching the former Queen Bee take her books out of Trini's locker. Kim rolled her eyes and faced him with a smirk. "Okay, and if I don't?" She chuckled as Trini came up behind her. "You have to! We are all going, plus it's Friday. We ALWAYS do pizza together!" She pouted cutely as Kim blushed at how adorable her girlfriend was. "I'll be there. I was just joking. We can all go to my place after, my parents are gone for the weekend. Again." She let out a soft sigh and looked at her four friends. Trini gave her a gentle hug before heading to her own home to get her overnight bag. She always stayed the night with Kim on Fridays. The boys headed off as well and Kimberly drove home.
Kimberly pulled in the driveway of her parents' home and shook her head. They didn't even wait for her to get home before leaving. Shaking her head she got out of her car and walked inside locking the door behind her. She was a bit paranoid when it came to being home alone, which is why Trini always stayed with Kim on the weekends. Kim went upstairs to her room to shower and change into something a bit more comfortable than what she had worn to school. Once she had changed she headed back downstairs to do her homework. She hated school, but she did like learning and she liked getting the homework out of the way to just be with Trini and the boys on the weekend.
It was now 5:30 and Kim was about to leave, she lived on the other side of town so it would take her 30 minutes to get to the pizza parlor anyway. Just as she grabbed her keys she heard a window break followed by the front door opening. Getting on high alert, Kimberly walked cautiously toward the front of the house. "Hello..." As soon as she said that she regretted it. Kimberly had always made fun of the 'dumb girls in horror movies who call out hello' now she understood it. Kimberly didn't get an answer, instead, she was thrown backward against a wall. Kimberly groaned as her back slammed against the plaster cracking the wall beneath her. Kim fell to her knees after making an impact and winced slightly as she slowly got to her feet. "Hello Pink Ranger." A deep voice spoke causing Kimberly's stomach to turn and her heart to race. "Who...who are you?" She stuttered in fear. The masked man didn't respond as he grabbed her by the throat. She gasped in fear causing him to tighten his grip. He leaned in close whispering in her ear. "Where are you precious friends, Kimberly Hart." His voice caused her body to go cold with fear as tears-filled her eyes while she struggled to breathe.
*With the other Rangers*
"Hey Crazy Girl, where the Hell is Kimberly, she is 15 minutes late!" Trini rolled her eyes at Zack. "Are you EVER going to stop calling me that?" She laughed softly but her smile faded. It wasn't like Kim to be late, especially not for their Friday hangouts. She always teased about not wanting to go but she loved their nights hanging out. "Come on Kimmy, where are you..." Trini sounded worried as she looked at the boys. "We should go check on her, it's not like her to be late." The boys agreed and they all go into Jason's truck to head over to Kimberly's home. Trini could barely sit still in the truck as they drove up the mountain road. "Jason drive faster!" She begged as she started to panic because Kim wasn't answering her house phone or cell phone.
Kim was struggling to fight back but she was growing weaker. This man was much stronger than her. He had to have been more than human or at least like her, he had some sort of super-strength. "Who are you?" She spoke again in a much weaker tone now as she charged him. He stopped her with a knife as the blade stuck into her. Kim cried out in pain falling to her knees. ?"Stop. Please." She begged to hold her stomach which was now bleeding. Kim closed her eyes crying as the pain started to become too much for her. The man walked toward her pulling up as she screamed in pain again. Little did Kimberly know that her friends were right outside now.
The four rangers jumped out of the truck just in time to here Kimberly scream followed by what sounded like glass shattering. Trini felt her heart shatter as she rushed toward the house but the boys held her back. "Let go! Kim needs me!" She fought against the two boys holding her back as Billy started to worry, he hated when any of his friends were in trouble. "LET GO OF ME!" Trini screamed as glass shattered again and a shadowy figure ran from the house. The boys were distracted and Trini broke free running inside. Seeing her girlfriend on the ground her heart shattered. "GUYS HELP!" She cried out bending down next to Kimberly who was curled up in the fetal position crying in pain. "Trin...It's not safe...you have to go." She breathed out as the boys rushed in. Trini shook her head as tears rolled down her cheeks. "I'm not leaving you!" The shorter brunette looked at her friends. "An ambulance will take to long. We have to get her to the hospital!" Trini was desperately holding Kim's head on her lap crying through her words."No hospital." Kim groaned as tears poured down her cheeks her hand still holding her stomach. Trini carefully took her hand away seeing that Kim's hand was soaked in blood. "Kim you'll die!" Trini looked into her eyes, her own eyes filled with fear and sadness. Kimberly wanted to resist but she was too weak and she knew Trini was right.
Once at the hospital Jason spoke to the police officer who had been following them for speeding. Jason explained the situation and the officer helped carry Kim inside. They got her on a stretcher and brought her to the back but they would not let Trini go back with her. Jason pulled Trini into a hug because now the young woman was crying harder. "She'll be okay Trini." He tried to convince himself at the same time. "She's tough, we got hit by a train and survived. She'll be okay." He rubbed Trini's back as he spoke but it didn't help. Her girlfriend was in the hospital alone and probably scared. She hated knowing Kim was in pain and she couldn't help. After almost an hour that felt more like five, the doctor walked out to speak with the group. "She lost a lot of blood, but she'll be fine...sore but fine. You guys got her here just in time. She's lucky you knew something was wrong." The doctor seemed like he was questioning them. "She was supposed to meet us for our pizza date and she didn't show up, it's not like her to be late." Trini was still sobbing as the officer walked over to speak with them and question them.
After the boys and Trini, each separately explained seeing a shadowy figure leave a window the four were free to go see Kim. Though the officer would be questioning her first. "Can you tell me what happened?" The officer asked Kim gently. "I was getting ready to go to Mark's Pizza to meet up with my friends Jason, Zack, and Billy. Also my girlfriend Trini." She smiled thinking about how she still got to call Trini her girlfriend. "I heard glass shatter and the front door unlock then open. My parents aren't home so I went to see who it might be, this man attacked me. I couldn't see his face he had a mask on." Her voice was weak and it was clear she was in pain. The officer decided to let her rest, he could always question her for more details later. "I have security cameras at my house. I can get you the footage when I get out of here." She spoke as the officer left the room nodding. "Thank you, Miss. Hart." Her friends rushed in once they were allowed and Trini was still in tears as she crawled up next to Kim. "I was so scared I was going to lose you!" She sobbed, Kimberly weakly pulled her into a hug and cuddled her. "You saved me." She whispered holding her close and closing her eyes. "My parents are going to kill me for the mess at home." Kim whispered through her pain as she fell asleep. Between the blood loss and pain meds, she had been fighting to stay awake.
Jason knew how much Kim hated disappointing her parents. She felt like they didn't love her all because of what happened last year. The truth was she felt worthless and now she had made a mess of the house. Jason didn't want her to feel this way so he decided to call her mother. "Mrs. Hart, it's Jason Scott. Kimberly's friend. There's been an accident. A man broke into your home tonight and attacked Kimberly. She's in the hospital. The house is a bit of a mess and Kim's afraid you're going to get mad at her." He spoke calmly not wanting to step on any toes. "I don't care about the house. Is she okay?" Kim's mother sounded horrified that her only child had been attacked. "She lost a lot of blood, the man who attacked her stabbed her and beat her up pretty good. We were all going to meet for pizza. When she didn't show up... we got worried and went to check on her." Jason explained as he heard Kim's mother gasp. "Tell her we are on our way." She spoke trying to sound calm and she hung up. Explaining the situation to her husband.
