CHAPTER 2 - Prophetical Dreaming

Kai woke up at 6:00. As usual.

The drew himself from his bed almost reluctantly, and rubbed his face tiredly. Kai grabbed his clothes from the bedside, and went to the bathroom to get changed.

A few minutes later he immerged, dressed and ready to go. He poked Tyson's sleeping figure one last time with his toe, before giving up and going outside, preferably to train. If Tala and Bryan were up yet. If.

Tiptoeing past Ray, Max and Kenny, Kai finally reached the door. He slipped round it carefully yet effortlessly. He had, after all, escaped like this many times before, especially from Tyson and the others, although he had done so with Tala, Bryan, Spencer and Ian too. Kai sighed, and walked away, Dranzer safely tucked in his pocket.

Kai walked along to the hotel room to which belonged The Demolition Boyz. Kai rapped sharply on the door, praying it wasn't Spencer or Ian who answered. Ian especially if he had his riffle with him.

But instead it was Tala, also ready, and waiting with Bryan, who was sat impatiently on his bed, scowling at just about everything.

'Did you dream that too or was that just coincidence?' Bryan asked Tala moodily as they exited together as quietly as possible, a note of explanation on the dresser.

'What is he talking about now Tala?' Kai asked angrily. He really wasn't in the mood for Bryan's sulking. Tala smacked Bryan on the back of the head, and smirked.

'Last night I had a weird dream. I went through my day, which included when I woke up, who said what, etc. Bryan's having a hissy-fit about it all.' Tala said smirking still. Bryan went red in anger, and soon it was Tala's turn to rub the back of his head, if you get my drift.

'Anything good?' Kai asked as they entered the reception area. Bryan went over and started examining the intercom, leaving the two to talk.

Tala scratched the back of his head. 'There was this last bit before I woke up. We're going to meet a girl today. At the dump. And...' Tala stopped and looked at his feet. Kai raised an eyebrow.

'And...?'

'You know Tara and her friends?'

'Yeah, what about them?'

'Well, this girl looked just like Tara, only older. She was our age.' Tala confessed. Bryan swore quite loudly and dropped the piece of intercom he had been inspecting.

'But she disappeared years ago!' Bryan pointed out. Kai nodded and both boys turned to the redhead in search of answers.

'It still looked like her.' Tala said defensively.

'Hey Tala?' Kai said thoughtfully. Tala looked up at him, a look of dread on his face. He probably knew what he would say.

'Yeah, she was. Shut it, ok Kai?' Tala said, pushing past the slate-haired teen and going out the doors. Bryan and Kai were about to follow, but were stopped.

'Where are you two going?' Kai and Bryan groaned as Mariah and Lee stepped in front of them.

'To get Tala. Bugger off.' Bryan told them shortly. He tried to dodge round Mariah but she stepped to the side with him. Bryan's hands quickly became fists.

Kai eyed Bryan wareily, and, following his gaze, so did Lee. Mariah ignored his fists, and continued to piss the lavender-haired teen off.

'We'd better go get Tala.' Kai reminded Bryan as his eyes narrowed also. Lee nodded to them both and let them pass. Bryan smirked at Mariah briefly, before following Kai and Lee out of the building.

'Hey wait up!' Kai heard Ray call as they ran round a corner.

'Yeah us too!' Max added. Kai and Bryan both groaned, but didn't stop. Soon they saw Tala, and went faster. Kai knew that Kenny and Tyson were after then too, and a quick glance confirmed his suspicions.

Darn.

'Tala wait up!' Kai yelled. Tala slowled slightly, but didn't stop for them.

'This way!' He yelled back to them. Everyone sped up, but Tala, Kai and Bryan were still in front. Tala led them to the dump within a few minutes.

'What the...?' Kai wondered as they all stopped dead short at the sight before them.

Kai, Bryan and Tala all recognised and realised at the same time. They all found themselves shaking, and somehow found their voices throught their fear.

'TARA!'
