Fall in the Fires,Rise from the Ashes.
Chapter 1: Spark.
"Help me Dranzer...I'm so cold..." A young boy about the age of five was shivering uncontrollably in a dark cell. The surroundings were shabby and held a strange tingling sensation...a mysterious feeling...
The boy looked up with tear stained face as he fearfully glanced at the drops of blood around him...his blood... "Why grandfather...I...I didn't do anything wrong...I..." He began to sob again...as his mind was haunted with memories...
FLASHBACK
"WELL..." Thundered a gray haired man, "How pathetic you are...you even killed your parents and here you are...daring to look me in the eyes..."
The sentence had set the boy off...the young figure had tried to fight back the blows he had gotten as a reward for holding the hand of his grandfather and look up at him with pleading eyes,silently asking him not to leave him alone...
"I didn't...I didn't...I'd never...I loved them..." The boys breath hitched at the mention of word 'kill'.
"Don't forget that I have the evidence,boy...are you denying me...?" The elder smirked as the child choked on a sob. Blackmailing his grandson was so easy in this age.
"I dare..." The boy had said this more to himself than to the other person present in the room but unfortunately,his voice was heard by the other.
END FLASHBACK
And now here he was...hugging his knees and crying quietly at his fate. He hadn't killed anyone...he was innocent...so why was every one he met blaming him...?
He had seen his grandfather killing his father...He had seen his mother smiling at him as she quickly took off her white scarf to wrap it around the boy's shaking frame as she was stabbed right through her heart by that evil man...He had seen the gun pointed at him and a gruff voice,telling him..no...commanding him to move...He had seen he arrogance in those steel eyes as he had tried to snatch the gun and run away...He had seen so much that day...He had seen storms...shaking him to the core...he had seen darkness swallowing him...
A guard strode towards the lone cell before growling, "Move...you're going to stay in another room...Master Boris's orders." He proceeded to open the barred door of the small space and the boy struggled to get up without limping. His grandfather had pushed him in the car after a purple-haired man and he had hit his ankle pretty hard against the door stand. Aside from that...his breathing was still out of control due to crying so much as he rubbed his crimson eyes to clear the translucent wall of tears which blurred his vision every now and then.
Stumbling due to the sharp,fiery pain in his ankle,he tried to follow the guard forcing himself not to lash out on him...He was like that...putting up a fight against anyone he didn't like...not caring about the outcome...but in this place...the result was much more worse...the punishments were horrid and the boy shuddered. He hadn't encountered any punishment yet...maybe because of the fact that he had gotten here two days before and no one had met him or spoken to him.
The guard pushed the small child into another room and he stumbled before hitting the frame of a single bed in front of him. A whimper of pain escaped the boy as the sharp edge of a broken post cut his arm before the guard slammed the door shut,locking it in the process.
The dual-haired boy looked around at his new surroundings with wide crimson eyes. There were four single beds made,present in a row. There was no window in the room and in one corner of the room was a cupboard with drawers.
Nervous to do anything,the boy pulled himself up and dragged his feet reaching the farthest corner,away from the door. Sitting on the floor and hugging his knees,he buried his head as sobs racked his frame once more.

"We'll have to babysit a new-comer." A lilac haired boy exclaimed,grumbling.
"Don't say that Bryan. Who knows,who's gonna be our new room-mate." A taller blond replied.
"But Spencer,what if that new kid tries to..."
"Don't start Tala..." Spencer stopped the red haired shorter boy with a bemused expression.
"Hmph...fine..." Tala groaned, "But I still wonder what would he be like."
"Like you would have never seen before!" Bryan told the red head.
The three boys were heading back to their room after a long day of training. As the guard opened the door,all three entered and the door was locked behind them.
"Um..." Tala looked at the small stains of blood on the floor awkwardly.
Bryan was looking at the shaking and sobbing figure in the far corner...well as much far as they could get with the small area of their room, "Look..." He pointed.
Before anyone could say or do anything,Tala went to the small frame and sat beside him,watching him with his intense ice blue eyes, "Hey new boy..." The red head tried to get the attention of the boy who looked like he was of the same age as the red head.
Bryan shook his head, "Is that your way of addressing some one Tals?"
Tala glared at the lilac haired boy, "Shut it Bry...how else am I supposed to know his name?"
"You could just ask..." Spencer told him.
The blue haired boy still didn't stop. Tala stared at him for a moment,then finally got an idea. The boy was sad...and Tala knew what to do when some one was sad...so he did it. Reaching forward,the red head grabbed the boys shoulders before pulling him into a tight hug. The young boy was startled by the sudden act but reacted nonetheless by trying to get out of the grip with tightened as much as he struggled,making it hard for him to even breathe.
"Leave me alone." The boy's words were muffled as he tried his hardest to get out of this new action with had caught him off guard.
"Why are you crying?" Tala countered,still not letting go. Either the boy was exhausted or Tala had found a new strength because he was still embracing the new boy tightly.
"Let go..." The answer was followed by sobs as the young boy still struggled to push the red head away.
"Keep it down,will ya...or do you want to be punished...?" Bryan glanced at the door before looking at the new kid.
"I wont let you go unless you tell me what's wrong." Tala told the boy in his arms defiantly whose struggles were getting less and less noticeable by every passing minute.
Bryan and Spencer took a step forward too,coming to kneel in front of the two young boys. In a sense,they had cornered the new boy with their formation.
"Okay Tala...loose up a bit...he can't breathe." Spencer looked at the red head who loosened his grip reluctantly. Bryan peered at the boys face. He had so unusual features. Four cobalt blue triangles were present on his cheeks...crimson eyes were filled with pain and his dual-colored hair were messy due to struggling so much.
"So...what's your name?" Tala asked again.
"Kai." The boy's voice was hoarse.
"So Kai...why are you crying?" Tala questioned again. His arm was still present around the boy's shoulders comfortingly.
"Nothing." Kai replied before rubbing his eyes to get rid of tears, "I'm fine."
"Yeah right." Bryan rolled his eyes.
Spencer looked at him with concern, "Is that your blood on the floor?"
Kai looked at the crimson stains fearfully. Blood...he was scared of blood now...just because because of that day...the day which caused him to end up in this abbey for endless pain and traumatized him to no extent. The three boys caught his look and looked at him with sympathy.
"Are you okay?" This time,it was Bryan. He hated to see some one in pain. Kai shook his head but it was clear that he was not telling the truth. The blood stains on his shirt betrayed him.
Tala looked at the blood on his sleeve. It must have appeared when he hugged the boy. The crimson-eyed boy held his arm firmly,not letting anyone see it but they had caught a glimpse of red appearing under his hand.
"Come on...let us have a look...we're only trying to help you." Spencer tried to reason with the boy who was inching back until his back met the wall. They had cornered him completely.
Kai tried his best to get out of the grip as Tala held him firmly. Spencer tried to pull back his arm which he was covering ad Bryan attempted to pry his hand away. They were forcing him to open up...how could he...? How could he trust them so easily...?
"We're not gonna hurt you. Hold still,will you..." Bryan gritted his teeth as the boy tried to push him away.
At last,they finally managed to over power the boy with Tala and Bryan restraining him,making him unable to resist. He had kicked and flailed with all his might but his exhausted body was not keeping up with his racing mind.
Spencer took off Kai's arm-guard which went up to the elbow to have a look at the deep cut which was covered with blood. The boy looked at him with wide eyes filled with fear and panic.
"Don't worry. You'll be fine." Tala told him as Spencer got up to get some water and clean the cut.
"Yeah,Spence knows how to do it. He does ours too." Bryan added,looking into the mesmerizing crimson depths.
"I'm just gonna clean up the blood,okay..." Spencer returned to his spot with a container of water and a small cloth. He knew it wasn't enough,but right now,they couldn't offer more than that, "It might hurt a bit...but here goes..."
The boy whimpered in pain and tried to get out of the steel grip of his two room mates as Spencer gently dabbed the wet cloth on the cut. The burning pain was enough to make the young child start crying again.
"Hey come on now. Just a little more. Almost done." Tala wiped away his tears with a soft hand,still not letting him go.
"Yeah,the pain will go away soon." Bryan told him.
"We don't cry when Spencer does ours. Be brave." Tala's voice was soothing for the young boy.
"Liar...you cry at least three times." Bryan smirked.
"I do not!" The red head frowned with a pink taint appearing on his cheeks.
"Of course you do!" Bryan answered with an amused expression.
"Do not!" Tala scowled.
"Oh don't even start that,Red...we all know you do!" Spencer looked at the red head.
Kai was looking at the strange argument. These boys were...weird. They were treating him like a family...or even a friend...
"There...all done. Now wait a moment and I'll bandage it up." Spencer's voice brought Kai back into reality.
Spencer went to dispose off the articles and retrieve the bandage as Kai looked at the two boys,still holding him down, "Let go." His voice was hoarse and weak.
"How do we know you wont run away or hit us?" Bryan questioned suspiciously.
"I wont." Kai reluctantly looked at him in the eyes.
With a nod,both let his go. Kai just sat there,staring into space as Spencer bandaged his arm carefully. Tala patted him on the shoulder, "You don't have to be afraid here Kai. Me and Bry and Spence are gonna help you whenever you'll need it."
"Yeah,you wont be alone." Bryan agreed.
"Because you're our brother now." Tala continued.
Kai took a deep breathe. His arm felt better now. It was a surprise.
"Let's go to bed now." Spencer announced and they all stood up. As soon as he put his weight on his injured ankle,a sharp pain made its presence known and with a hiss,he fell back. Tala quickly supported him before looking at him with concern, "Kai...are you okay?"
In a barely audible whisper,he told about his ankle,struggling to get up again with Tala supporting him.
"I think it's sprained." Spencer stated as he examined the ankle.
"Well,fix it." The red head replied.
Spencer was bandaging it up gently as Kai's eyes began to close. Without anyone noticing,he slowly welcomed the darkness which came to swallow him. Tala gaped as the blue haired head fell on his shoulder. He looked down only to find Kai sleeping. He had passed out while the soft touch soothed his pain.
"Huh...Kai?" When he got no reply,the red head smiled at his new sleeping brother, "I hope this abbey doesn't change you."
And so,in that room,four brothers slept. Each one in his own valley of dreams,more like nightmares for Kai. This new life was going to be painful but he knew that whenever he'll fall,some one would always catch him.
