Chapter 1

Sighing he pulled himself out of his midnight blue Mercedes-benzclk-gtr (A.N. This is a cool looking car. Go to yahoo images and look it up, it looks awesome) shutting the door, he looked at the majestic, yet intimidating mansion. The mansion stood at least 2 yards from the Iron Gate that he had just passed. The windows were half covered by shutters and peered down at him like half open eyes. The manor was colored black, and a dark mahogany red. A small garden surrounded the whole place, well what he could see anyway. He turned his head and saw a Crimson red 93 Toyota Supra Turbo (A.N. you must see this car too! It is so awesome!) pulled in right behind his car. Smirking Tala walked up to the car, pulling off his sunglasses.

"Well, well, well. It seems you're doing fine. What is that? A 93 Toyota Supra Turbo? "

"Aren't you perceptive Ivanov."

"And sarcastic as always…you never let me down do you Kai?"

"Hn."

" And a spirited talked too, wow you are just raking in the trophies aren't you?"

" You're not funny Ivanov."

"I couldn't tell." Tala replied sarcastically. Kai just rolled his eyes and pulled his stuff out of the trunk. Tala peeked over his shoulder and whistled. "Damn…you think you have enough stuff?"

Kai just sent him a 'leave me alone' glare. Tala put his hands up in an 'I surrender' fashion, and backed off. Tala headed to his own car and pulled out his satchel and slung it over his shoulder.

"I'm heading into the manor."

"Whatever."

Tala walked into the huge manor, A grand staircase stood about 15 feet from where he stood and two big doors stood on either side of the stairs and a small closet under the staircase. Adjusting his satchel on his should her he walked up the stairs and at the top of the stairs was long hallway with a whole lot of doors on both sides of the hallway. Shrugging he walked about two doors down and opened it. Inside was a beautiful room. The walls were mahogany and the windows had a dark midnight blue shade for the shutters.

Smiling he set his stuff down on the floor by the huge king-size bed. The bed had a cerulean blue on the covers and there was golden trimming at the end of them, the pillows were golden with a cerulean blue trimming. Sitting on the bed, he sank into the bed. God it was comfortable. He lay back and closed his eyes. Eventually Tala dozed off, apparently unaware of his visitor watching him.

Kai sighed as he reached his room. His room was a dark red and had dark blue for the wooden trimming that went around the whole room. The shutters were silver that covered the window that overlooked the garden and the pool in the backyard. Close to the pool stood a majestic weeping willow. There was a fireplace by another door which he assumed lead to the bathroom. Closing his eyes he put his stuff down and flopped on his bed.

"Finally a decent bed. That's actually soft for once." With those words he fell into a deep sleep. He too was unaware of the visitors. A soft voice whispered evilly, " I will have my revenge. I…will…kill."

Softly moaning Tala slowly shifted. Opening his eyes he looked around at his surroundings. Pushing himself off of the bed he looked around. Getting a better view of the room he noticed a picture. It was a picture of a man. He had muddy river hair and cerulean blue eyes. He wore a black tuxedo with a tie and held a top hat on top of his head majestically. He had a square jaw and high cheekbones.

Tala tilted his head to one side his eyes gazed in wonderment. He searched for a name, but there wasn't one. Sighing he looked back at the picture, he almost jumped out of his skin. The picture was looking at him with a murderous look in his eyes and was pointing at him with one hand and in the other held a bloody knife.

Blinking the picture had turned back to normal, it's a sham his heart beat didn't. Placing his hands on his chest he forced himself to calm down. Looking back up at the picture he saw that it was still normal, but there was something that took his breath away. On the bottom of the picture was written, òû ÿ áûòü øàõòà! "û ÿ ÿ êîñòü Ivanov!" (A.N. Translation will be at the bottom of the page.)

Startled he stumbled backwards and tripped on his satchel. Looking towards the picture. The words were gone. This time he couldn't catch his breath, his heart raced about 95 miles an hour. He was so frightened that he was shaking.

"What the hell was that?" He asked himself in a shaky voice. A voice came from behind him that caused him to jump.

"Hey Tala! You all right?"

Taking in a few deep calming breaths and replied, "Yes I'm fine Bryan…Bryan! When did you get here?"

"A hello to you too. Are you sure you're all right?"

"Yes!" Tala snapped. Putting his hands up in a defensive position.

"All right, all right fine. If you say so."

"Is anyone else here?"

"Nope just me, you and Kai."

"Does Kai know you're here?"

"Yes, he was the first one I went to. I'm going to go exploring some more…want to come?"

"Nah, I'll do that later." 'After I catch my breath and figure out if I'm going insane or not.' Tala thought to himself. He closed his eyes and looked over at the door. Bryan had disappeared. Shaking his head he stood himself up onto shaky legs. ' I have to stop watching thriller movies, I swear. They are getting to me.' Finally gaining his strength he walked out of the room. With on last glance at the picture he walked out, the click of the door signaled his exit.

" In time Ivanov…In time you will be mine. You won't leave this house alive…"

Kai walked in the kitchen and spotted his flaming red haired friend sitting at a long counter sitting on a stool and had a bottle of vodka in his right hand. Raising his eyebrow he went over and sat beside him. Looking at Tala in the face Kai noticed that he held a look, that he couldn't read, was on his face.

"This place really that bad?"

"No."

"What's with the Vodka?"

"I needed a drink."

"And Vodka was the only thing to drink around here?"

"Nope there's Whiskey, Wine, Booze, and you can also make your self a Margarita."

"You noted all the alcoholic drinks?"

"Oh, And there's water and tea and soda."

"Is that all?"

Tala looked like he was think, then nodded confirming that that was all the beverages in the house. Kai looked over at his friend, he reached over and grabbed the vodka from Tala. Growling Tala reached for the bottle, but being taller that Tala that gave Kai an advantage. Glancing at the contents of the bottle, it was half gone.

"Damn it Tala! I thought I told you not to drink so much!"

"You can't tell me what to do, Hiwatari! You're not my guardian!"

"I am you're friend and I am telling you to stop!"

"No, no give it!" Tala would have tackled Kai if Bryan hadn't come out of nowhere and grabbed Tala by the arms and held him in place. Tala started cursing in Russian as Kai put the cap back on and placed it in the fridge. Bryan held Tala until he decided that it was futile and stopped struggling.

" Okay, okay you can let me go now."

"Can I trust you not to tackle Kai?"

"Yes."

"Can I trust you not to get the bottle back out?"

"Yes!" Tala snapped, "Now let me go!"

Bryan released Tala, who shrugged his jacket on his shoulders and glared at the two men in front of him. Grumbling Tala walked off, or stumbled off, and disappeared from sight as he turned the corner. Bryan and Kai watched him before he disappeared from sight.

Sighing Bryan took a seat in a chair at the bar and leaned back in it. He then looked at Kai, who was gazing out the window. Standing up Bryan walked over to Kai and leaned on the counter beside him.

"I swear. He's going to end drinking himself blind on day…If he doesn't stop."

"I know what you mean Kai. He's been like this ever since he had turned 18."

"Well he needs to stop. It's getting on my nerves. Being his conscious. Telling him when enough is enough! I've had it!"

Bryan only looked out the window. 'If only you knew why Kai…If only you knew.' He watched as Tala appeared from the entrance and walked into the garden. He wasn't going to drive that was good. That means that he wasn't going to drink and drive. He watched Tala disappear in the hedges and dive underneath the weeping willow.

The click of a door brought Bryan to the fact that Kai had left. ' Alone again. Oh well.' Bryan grabbed the half-finished bottle of vodka and downed it in a second. He had a higher tolerance to alcohol. Throwing the bottle in the trash he to left the kitchen.

Translation- "òû ÿ áûòü øàõòà! "û ÿ ÿ êîñòü Ivanov!" Means, "You will be mine. You will die Ivanov!"
