Boo, hi again! This is the last chapter of Betrayed. -drum rolls- D
This chapter's about Tala's funeral and will Kai die? Read the story to find out. xD
Ok, enough crap from me, let's get on with the story!
Normal POV
The wind blew eerily pass the crowd of people dressed in black. They were standing and looking at the coffin solemnly, some people were even crying.
'Tala still doesn't deserve to die,' Ian thought harshly, sending a cold glare at a certain phoenix and tiger, with tears still coming down his face.
They were standing together and had the nerves to hold hands. Both had a look of guilt upon their faces, and Rei was sobbing quietly.
Bryan closed his eyes as tears slid down his cheeks. He clenched his fists angrily. Spencer was no better, though he was not angry like Bryan, he was still crying.
There were also kids from the Abbey. Every single one of them were crying, some more obvious than the others but all were definitely crying, for the captain that they had respected and loved.
Soon, it was almost time to hold their speech. Some Abbey kids went up first, all saying how Tala had helped them in the Abbey and the uncountable time he saved them from punishment and took it himself.
"… He didn't deserve to die." was the last sentence spoke by everyone of them.
Now, it was Bryan's turn.
"I loved him. He was my team captain, my companion and most importantly, my friend. I treated him like a younger brother and I would do anything for him at the risk of my own life. He was a good captain and a good friend." More people were crying now.
He would always be there to cheer you up if you were down. But yet, when he was down, none of us were there for him! We don't deserve to be called his friends! He did so much for us and what did we ever do to help him? Nothing. He didn't deserve to die."
As Bryan got down the stage and went to take his seat, he saw that more people were crying now. Some even had guilty faces on now. He smiled sadly; they deserve to be sad and guilty.
"Like with Bryan, I loved him. He was a very good captain and a very good friend. He saved me from punishments loads of times I lost count! He would rather be beaten, punished, rape than see any of us in trouble." Some people winced at the word 'rape'; they did not know. He seemed so tough and strong all the time.
"He did everything in his power to save us and took the blame all by himself. I regret… I regret ever letting him date Kai Hiwatari," Spencer spat out, "He did not deserve to die because of him!"
Kai sighed sadly. He knew he had done wrong and everyone who was in the Abbey would hate him forever, but the damage was done and it could not be undone; not even if he wanted to.
"I loved him with all my heart as a younger brother. He always protected me, sure he failed sometimes but I don't blame him. Without him, I would have gotten punished more times and would probably be dead." Kevin cried softly. He did not know Tala personally but from what Ian told him; Tala was a great guy.
"Tala was a great guy. Even if you hated him, he would help you if you need help, wouldn't he?" a few people grunted in response.
"He really didn't deserve to die now."
Suddenly, the whole place was filled with a bright light and people shunned their eyes from the light; it was too great.
When they re-opened their eyes, they were shocked to find Tala standing there.
"Oh my god, it can't be!" Hillary shrieked as Tala scoffed.
"Oh please, don't be so surprised. Yes, I'm a damned ghost but stop freaking, will you?"
"Tala… Is that you?" Ian breathed out.
Tala looked at Ian and his eyes softened, "Yes, Ian. It's me."
"How… how is this possible?" Tyson asked in disbelief.
"Wolborg…" Tala replied, turning to look a white wolf and smiling at it.
"We missed you, cap," someone spoke.
Tala turned away from the white wolf and his smile widened, "I missed you guys too, Richard!"
Richard smiled back, "You didn't have to die."
"Hey, I chose that road myself, no one's to blame, right?" he asked, eyes scanning the crowd before it landed on Kai and Rei.
"It was my fault. I should have told you…"
"Shussh, no more words. It's ok. I've gotten over it and it's not your fault," Tala interrupted, waving it away.
"Rei, take care of Kai for me. He can't take care of himself," Tala smirked cheekily as Rei smiled back.
"Thanks Tala. Thank you so much," Rei said, before bursting out in tears.
"Now, now, don't ge tall drama on me! Spencer, study hard to become what you want to be. Don't grieve over my death too long. One month, that's all I give you."
"I will, Tala. I won't let you down," Spencer said, determination covering every inch of his voice. Tala smiled at him happily.
"Bryan, please don't go take revenge! They have a life to live; unlike me. Oh, and tell Oliver you like him already! Don't keep the poor kid waiting!" Tala said, innocently as both Bryan and Oliver blushed red.
"Tala! Fine, I won't. I really hate it when you know me so well," Bryan replied, having recovered form his little 'embarrassment'.
"Ian, Ian. You're a big boy now, ne? Take care of Kelvin and no cheating," Tala said to Ian, winking.
"I will, Tala."
"And Kevin, help me take care of Ian too. I still can't stop worrying about the baby of the team," Tala requested as Ian made a face at him.
Kevin laughed, "Of course, Tala; of course."
"Well, I got to go now guys. See you around and take care," Tala said as he started to walk away.
"See us around?" Kai questioned, with an amused eyebrow raised.
"Let's put it this way; you don't see me but I see you," Tala said, turning around to wink.
As Tala started to disappear, he turned to Tyson and said in a serious tone, "Don't eat so much," before laughing heartily and disappearing.
Some people laughed as Tyson turned beet red.
Bryan edged over to Oliver, "you heard what Mr. Almighty said."
Oliver laughed lightly, "He's still here, ne Tala?"
A wind blew past them in response.
Oliver smiled, "So Bryan, what are we going to do after one month?"
"Get married," Bryan suggested cheekily.
"Nah, we still haven't started."
"Wasn't that a 'yes'?"
"Nope."
"Oh really?"
"Yea."
"Well…" Bryan trailed off as he kissed Oliver and Oliver kissed back.
After they stopped Bryan asked, "Was that a yes?"
"Yea, definitely."
After one month, everyone stopped mourning as Tala had told them to.
After all, who wouldn't listen? He was still here and would murder them if they continued, wouldn't he?
THE END
Ah, I'm so happy that this is completed but I'm sad too!
Frankly, I wanted to kill Kai. OO But I didn't in the end. Well, halfway through the story, I just thought that Tala wouldn't kill Kai if he really loved him.
