Chapter Nine: "I Knew It We Couldn't Trust Him!"

After the incident with Zil and his stupid friends, Peter and Sinder agreed to head back to the house and keep Caine inside again, for his own safty as well as theres. But then, halfway back to the home, Brianna appeared again. She stopped them from going any further and told them that Sam was on his way. She had ran off as soon as Hank appeared and started to cause trouble, to warn Sam.

"What happened?" Sam demanded, running up towards them so fast he was almost out of breath.

"Hank." Peter said shortly before he continued "He showed up" Peter licked his lips as if he was thinking hard "Grabbed Penny by the uh" he blushed and dropped his voice into a whisper "Chest area" like it was a naughty word "She freaked and..." he shrugged, Sam would know the rest hopefully.

"You didn't do anything, did you?" Sam demanded, glaring at Penny with furious eyes. If anything went wrong while keeping this lot here then it would all be on Sam's shoulders.

"No!" Penny snappped back angrily, stepping up but she did not make much of an impression since she was half his size "But I wanted to! You have a pretty shitty place here!"

Sinder filled him in on the rest from there when Peter stalled for too long. After a while Sam noticed a few people had began to pass, chances are Zil had told his friends and so people would come by at any moment and they did not need to attention! So he got everyone to walk and they spoke while leading Caine and his friends back to the house. No one complained though Panda did sulk and kick stones for the whole walk.

"OK, everyone back inside" Sam sighed, his heart just was not in it anymore. Brianna had come and got him just as he was about to have a nap so he was tired and just wanted to go back home again. He might have left it to the "council" but they were really no good for stuff like this. Plus Astrid made it clear that it was Sam's responsibity because he was the one that had brought them all here in the first place. He would have to admit he was wrong if he wanted help from her.

Penny let out a loud scream, she was not screaming anything really, it was just a plain scream, before running inside and throwing things around the already destoryed room, not that there was much to throw in the first place. Panda hesitaited, not wanting to be inside with a rage filled Moof when Peter shoved him forward with the gun, he rushed inside as if he would be hit otherwise. Seera, Caine and Diana all followed without a fuss, though Seera looked sad when the door was shut and they were knocked back into the darkness.

Caine waited in the door way for a moment, listening to the door before smirking at the others when he heard Sam and that bitch Brianna leaving. Sinder and Peter would be replaced soon, they were already tired so they would not be paying as much attention as they really should be "Well... That was fun"

"What was so fun about that?" Diana shouted angrily, she was getting sick of his attitude towards everything.

"I think we found out who has been throwing stuff at us" Caine mumbled, ignoring her.

"You think it was Hank?" Seera blinked at him, sitting down on the floor while Penny finally calmed down enough to pay attention.

"Most likely. Him or that twit, Zil" Caine nodded and smirked "When we get out of here. What do you say those are the first we go for?" his voice was quiet again

Penny grinned a blood thirsty smile that somehow seemed to match Drake's. It caused Seera to cringe and Panda to back away from her while Diana rolled her eyes at Caine. Caine was so god damn dramatic all of the time and he hardly ever got any real decent resolts. Well not since the FAYZ started.

That night, as everyone curled up to sleep, Penny tucked herself in between Panda and Seera on the sofa after Caine had demanded privacy in his room. Meanwhile, Diana never did as told so she strode in anyway.

"What do you want?" Caine asked softly, he was sitting on the bed, staring down at his empty lap as though deep in thought, he did not look up.

"To act like a normal teenage girl for once!" Diana scowled, she shut the door and Caine looked up, frowning.

"What are you talking about?" Caine asked

Diana walked over and climbed onto the bed. She climbed up and pulled the blanket so it covered both her and Caine before lying down. After a moment of hesitaition, Caine lay down beside of her, even risking to reach over and comb the back of his fingers over her cheek gently. They moved so there noses were just touching before Caine slowly moved forward, there lips just touched when a sharp pain made Caine rell back and clutch his head, gasping.

"What's wrong?" Diana whisped, sitting up and staring at him

"My head! It's burning!" he gasped

"Why?" Diana's face was stone, she was slightly nervous but unsure at the same time

"I don't know it..." he froze and his eyes widened "No... No not again! Darkness"

Diana's own eyes widened and she stared at him. She reached over but he slapped her hand away and fell back against the wall, shaking in pain.

"Caine... Caine..." Diana did not know what to do "What does he want?" ever since the incident when they had tried to feed the Darkness, Diana had taken it very seriously

"I... I dunno" Caine whimpered "But it hurts"

Diana frowned, she bit her lip, debating whether to stay with Caine or leave and let him work it out. In the end she sat there and watched him as he clutched his head and moaned in pain. Diana may say sarcastic things to him but deep down she was worried.

Suddenly, Caine stopped moaning and clutching his head, he looked up, his expression completely blank. He stood up on the bed.

"You feeling better?" Diana asked

Caine ignored her and walked, off of the bed and towards the door, he nearly kicked her in the proccess.

"Hay!" Diana scowled at him

Once again he ignored her and reached for the door. When he pulled it open he found the others were all fast asleep. None of them so much as stirred as Caine walked passed, Diana jumped up and followed him closely and suspiciously, she tried to tread lightly, not wanting the others to wake up and see Caine like this. She said nothing for a while before she noticed he was making his way to the front door, with his palms held up.

"What are you doing?" Diana hissed, when he did not respond she grabbed his shoulder "Don't ignore me!"

Caine grabbed her arm and threw her backwards so she collided with the wall hard, waking Penny and the others.

"What's going on?" Panda yawned sleepily, blinking several times before she saw Diana.

"Diana? Are you OK!" Seera yelped straight away, jumping over to help the other girl to her feet as quickly as she could.

"Something's wrong with Caine" Diana gasped, clutching her side

Caine grabbed the door by its handle and pulled but it was locked. When he failed to open the door he stepped away from it, ignoring the calls from outside asking what he wanted. He rose his hands, palms out and threw the door away from the house, right off of its hindges, hitting one of the guards arms hard and sending him down to the ground, shrieking in pain.

"What are you doing?" one of the guards yelped, raising a gun, fear filling his features

"Caine!" Penny gasped "Stop!"

He ignored all of them and began to walk down the street, palm up as he threw the second guard away from him like he was trash, the guard landed in the middle of the road, he scampered to his feet and ran away desperately. Then Caine turned the other way and marched down the street in silence.

"What do we do now?" Panda whimpered, he was crying with fear, though he was not actually sure what he was more scared of at the moment. Sam or Caine.

"... We have to tell Sam" Diana whispered so quietly only Penny and Seera heard her.

"You want to turn Caine over to Sam?" Penny shouted, stepping up to Diana.

"Whoever is doing this, that is not Caine!" Diana snapped "Something is wrong. It as if he is sleep walker, except I was with him. He didn't fall asleep" Diana was hesitant to tell them about the Darkness "Either way we have to warn Sam." she paused "If we tell Sam maybe he can help Caine before anything bad happens..."

Meanwhile...

Lana was fast asleep when she began to hear Patrick barking. He was yapping so loudly that she practically jumped out of the dream she was having, it was a fun dream but she could not remember it. She blinked and looked around, expecting some kind of intruder, that was the only real reason why Patrick would be so furious, but there was no one there.

"What is it, boy?" Lana asked him, getting down on one knee

Patrick continued to bark towards the window. He jumped up at it and began to smack it with his little paw. He continued to bark repeatedly.

Lana looked out the window but she could not see anything. After a while she just assumed he was barking at birds or some silly kids.

Now she was up she might as well go for her walk. Grabbing the Ipod she put the head phones in and then changed her shoes. Her trainers were falling apart so she had to change them when she wanted to go out side from when she wanted to lay around and not do much.

"Coming, boy?" Lana asked

He barked but then Patrick followed her out of the large building. Soon she was marching, careful to avoid the town so as not to run into anymore needy little kids.

She had barely been walking for ten minutes when Patrick jumped in front of her, barking and growling like crazy. Only it seemed as if it was urgent as if someone or something was out there watching them. He jumped around and got down low, ready to attack anything that might come out. Lana's mind was flashing with things it could be. Coyotes were the first thing that came to her mind.

"Who's there?" Lana snapped, pulling her head phones out and tensing "Come out!"

Before she could react, a hand appeared and Lana froze as if being held there. She wanted to shout but she was thrown to the ground, her head hitting it hard.

Then everything went dark, and Patrick was left barking and standing protectively in front of her even though it was pointless.

Meanwhile, Caine stumbled out of the bush. He stumbled so much that he fell down onto his hands and knees and gasping in pain, clutching his head. It was burning like someone had just set it on fire but at the same time it was sort of aching like someone had kicked him. He wanted to rest but something was controlling his body, it forced him to crawl on his hands and knees towards Lana and her dog.

Take her back to Drake

"No" Caine whimpered aloud

Do as I say!

It thundered inside, bouncing around his skull painfully. It began to shout wordlessly into his mind, causing painful shivers to rocket down Caine's spine.

"Leave me alone" he sobbed, openly crying and covering his ears as if that would keep the beast quiet.

Do as I say! Now! Or else!

"Or else what?" Caine snarled, daring the voice

He wished he had not dared it. The voice let off a roar so loud that Caine couldn't even breath. His hands began to shake and he couldn't get a decent grip on his skull. It hurt so much!

"Please stop!" Caine begged, the pain incredable "STOP IT!"

"Hay. What's going on?" came a voice he recognised, that bitch, Taylor.

Caine stood up quickly, the voice, the darkness was telling him what to do. He didn't want to, but at the same time he didn't care about Taylor so he didn't mind.

She appeared seconds later, walking with Brianna, they appeared to be coming for the healer. They barely had time to say a thing before they both crashed into one another and were thrown down to the ground. They didn't even have a chance to shout in pain before they were both thrown into the air and thrown into the hotel where Lana had been staying. They would have both been killed for sure if luck had not veen on there side, they were throwing and went through the doors of the balcony hitting the bed and sofa to cushion there fall. It still hurt but at least they were alive.

"What was that?" Brianna coughed, slowly sitting up and rubbing her twisted shoulder.

"It couldn't be..." Taylor bounced to the balcony, she looked out and winced when she landed on her leg, it hurt but she would be OK. She looked out and froze "Caine!"

"What?" Brianna ran over and stopped, staring out as she watched Caine make his way over to an unconious Lana.

"Oh no! I knew it we couldn't trust him!" Taylor shouted "That prick!"

"Taylor! Go get Sam! I'll try and keep him busy!" Brianna said quickly

Taylor nodded and disapeared as she bounced. It would take her a few bounces before she made it all the way to Sam, and then they would both have to run or ride back here. Brianna would have to keep Caine busy for a bit.

Taking a breath Brianna ran. She ran all the way down the stairs and out the door, back down to where Caine was kneeling beside of Lana.

"CAINE!" Brianna screamed

At first he did not move, then he lowly looked up. Then when he finally did look up she was shocked to see that his face was full of pain. At first Brianna considered asking what was wrong. Then she shook her head and began to approach him, trying to distract him so he would stall but Caine looked back and completely ignored her.

"CAINE YOU DICK!" she tried

Again he ignored.

Brianna ran over and tried to hit him but Caine rose his hand and pushed her away without touching her. She fell back to the ground and jumped back up, she ran at him but just hit an inivisible wall and was sent back again.

"Damnit" Brianna knew something was wrong, why was Caine just throwing her back, why was he not just killing her.

And then, without warning, someone smacked the back of her head. Brianna was thrown forward so fast and hard that she skid across the Earth and dirty and grass clung to her body. She didn't even have a chance to so much as take in some breath before something, a foot she assumed, was smacking her head. Knocking her unconsious. They had stunned her, not given her the chance to use her speed.

Caine's eyes widened, he looked up and his whole body froze. Drake was standing there, he had a few people behind him but they all ignored Caine, like he was not even there.

Caine wanted to stand and fight but the darkness was holding him in place. It was telling him things but he could not make them out, he was too busy focussing purely on Drake as he slowly approached him. Then there was another shout and he winced, head feeling like it was going to split into two at any moment.

"Miss me, babe?" Drake whispered, kneeling in front of him, he placed a hand on Caine's cheek and leaned in, kissing him on the lips. The kiss was so gently, so un-Drake, that Caine almost didn't want mind it.

No! That was the darkness! Caine did not know why but it was controlling him and letting Drake do whatever he wanted! Maybe Drake promised to give him the Healer or maybe just because Drake was loyal but it was not Caine! Caine was not gay! He was in love with Diana for gods sake.

Caine fought and tried to pull back. He didn't move but the darkness did not like he fighting back. It screamed in his skull and burned him so much that tears began to stream down his cheeks, he wanted to scream but the darkness would not let him, he planned to make Caine suffer in silence. He was not sure he could stand much longer, he was sure he would go insane, go crazy if he did not find some way to make the pain stop or at least get some of the tension out.

But instead he just kneeled there, tears falling gently down his cheeks, glaring at Drake as he pulled back and smirked, wiping away his tears. Then he leaned over and whispered into his ear.

"Time to go home, pet" Drake whispered

Then a sharp pain, as if someone stabbed him in his stomach and twisted so quickly the breath disapeared from his throat and he stayed there for a moment. Then he fell forward.

Drake smirked and caught him, wrapping his tentacle arm around him and picking him up off the ground and his eyes slid closed. He looked at the others, one person had Lana over her shoulder, the other had kicked the dog, Patrick and thrown it by the scruff of its neck down the hill. They were ready to head back.

"Let's get out of here before Sam get's back"
