Kais pov

It was late at night, and I just couldn't sleep. Everyone was sound asleep at the bounty while I was out in the forest walking. What was so strange was that every once and a while I would hear a sound, as if someone or something was following me.

"Hello, I've been wondering when you would show up." said a deep and scratchy voice.

I turned around to see a tall shadowy like serpentine standing over me.

"What do you mean, were you waiting for me?" I questioned it calmly trying to hide any signs of fear, but of what I could see he could still tell I was afraid.

"Dont be afraid Kai, I'm a friend." it said trying to seem less frightening, "but where are my manners, my name is Professor Zycon and I'm pleased to accompany you this fine evening Kai." He smiled and then looked at the stars, his scales seemed to be stained with a slight hint of red which worried me.

"Um... Zycon, I would love to talk some more but," I said trying to sound tired *Fake Yawn* "but I must be heading back," I quickly tried to dash off but he grabbed me with his tail, he was stronger than the other serpentine I just couldn't mannage to slip free.

He looked at me with a devilish smile with his sharp white teeth, "No, no, no, we can't have you running off now can we." He squeezed me till I could hardly breeth. "Lest leave a little surprise for your friends now hmmm," he chuckled then bit me with his sharp fangs, then he swiftly slithered off. I started to feel nauseous to the point I couldnt even stand up, I finaly passed out at the edge of the forest.

Normal pov

When the sun rose it was time for sunrise exercise, "Wake up everyone, time for sunrise..." Wu sais baging his handheld gong to wake everyone up, but he stoped at the sight that Kai wasn't there, "Has anyone seen Kai?"

Zane had woken early and so he was ready to start the day, "No, we havent seen him sensei. Perhaps he went out to walk in the forest again, shall we go look while the others get ready?" Zane suggested, Wu nodded

Wu and Zane headed of the the forest in search of Kai, Zane quickly spotted him. "Sensei, I see Kai!" Zane shouted running over to Kai, "Sensei, cone quick!" Wu ran over to Zane and Kai, "What happened to him?" Wu had asked, "I dont understand." Kais clothing was torn by his arm and on his back. There was blood on his face from where he passed out onto the ground. Zane lifted him up and conjured his elemental dragon and brought Kai back to the bounty where he started to wake up.

Zanes pov

"Kai, are you there? Wake up Kai," I said to Kai camly. Kai started to wake up and I saw quick flash of red in his eyes, I scaned him for any injuries besides the ones that were visible, but nothing showed.

Kais pov

My head ached and my vision was blured but I could hear Zane calling my name with the others standing over my, I slowly started to stand up when I got a head rush. My hair swiftly turned to black and lit with fire as my right eye turned red, I jumped at Zane and held him to the wall.

Ooooh... cliff hanger!!! Sorry but its really late at night and I have school exsams for this last week off school... Till next time, now for a little R R everyone ;)
