A/N I decided to do a backstory for our favorite Racer, Kyrosis Jones. I finally came up with a name for Kya's "condition". This story is going to go through DarkraixCresselia's stories called "It's a Viral Life" and "Almira's Story"

neomoon585: Yes... It's very easy to break a friendship, especially if there's no communication... trust me, I have experience. And thanks for the wishes! (sorry for not responding...)

Nine: A New Enemy

Kyrosis woke up to message alert, making her groan while reaching for it. She accidentally threw it off as she touched down on the phone. A growl escaped her lips when she sat up and took it from the ground. She unlocked it and saw,

Thrax
1 message

She opened the chatroom and sighed as she read his text;

Hey Kya can I get a ride? At Riley's place 07:02

Kyrosis groaned again but she replied nonetheless, ignoring the fact that he was at Riley.

Sure give me 5 minutes 07:02

She hopped out of bed and started to get ready for school. A lilac crop top with a violet tank top underneath and grey shorts. She put her hair in a plat and packed in extra clothes in case she lost her cool again, while pulling on black high tops. She grabbed her car keys that was resting on her desk, took her phone and exited her room. She looked at her watch, reading: 07:04.

She grabbed an apple and headed for the door, yelling a goodbye before she closed it. She got into her car and started the engine. After winning the Amateur Race, they let her keep the car and allowed her to get a custom paintjob. She reversed her car onto the road and made her way to Riley's house. When she got there, she honked once for Thrax to come out. She saw him struggling with his trench coat as he staggered towards her car. Unlocking the car and waiting for Thrax to get in, she gave him a sly smirk.

"So… you enjoyed banging Riley?" Kyrosis asked rhetorically

"Whatever…" Thrax growled as he closed the door.

"There's water in the door for your hangover" She laughed as she pointed at the door.

He took it out and took a sip. He closed the bottle again and groaned, while sinking into the seat.

"What? She doesn't have big boobs? Or is your headache so bad?" Kyrosis questioned as she stared at her best friend in concern.

"Headache…" Thrax moaned

"Well, I'm dropping you off at your place so that you can get your stuff for school" Kyrosis explained while rolling her eyes.

"Ugh… Thanks Kya" Thrax droned

She stopped at Thrax's house, parking on the side of the road. She jumped out the car and waited for Thrax to get out. The door was ripped from its hinges, a strange sight to see if you're used to your friend's mother being a neat freak. Kyrosis glanced back at Thrax before following him in.

"Hamilton must've been drunk…" Thrax suggested, trying to keep calm. But Kyrosis saw through those eyes of his; he had a sinking feeling.

As the duo entered they immediately smelled something horrible: virus blood. Thrax took the lead, following the smell as best as he could, but what he saw made him jump. Kyrosis didn't understand what he was jumping for so she wiggled through him, but she instantly regretted that decision. She actually squeaked and jumped back into Thrax. The chairs were scattered about; some had broken-off legs. The table was upside down and had scratches carved into it. Broken glass bottles were strewed around, with Hamilton lying among the mess. He certainly wasn't sleeping; his throat was slit and bleeding heavily. He was covered in large bruises and scratches. He was dead.

Thrax stared into Hamilton's dead, glassy eyes. A satisfied smirk slowly spread on the young virus's lips,

"Got what ya deserved, ol' man"

Thrax then turned and passed Kyrosis. He went to the living room and left Kyrosis to examine Hamilton's lifeless corpse. She kneeled next to his chest and investigated the slash on his throat. It was black and shrivelled, almost as if the liquid was drained from the wound. A sickening thought crossed Kyrosis's mind, only Ed could do this. She heard Thrax's cry for his mother, to which she responded by jumping up and rushing to his aid. The scene was similar to the kitchen, turned over furniture with broken off legs.

Elaine was lying across the coffee table. Her eyes and mouth were wide, as if she had been screaming when it happened. She had bleeding scratches and bruises across her body, and her throat had been slit as well. His mother was killed too. Kyrosis covered her mouth to prevent a cry from escaping, her vision blurred due to the developing tears. Kyrosis could see Thrax shaking, so she tried to blink away the tears and comfort him. But before she could, she saw partly-bloody footprints going down the hall. Thrax saw the same thing and before Kyrosis could respond, Thrax ran in the direction of where the footprints were leading. She followed him and helped him to look for his sister. They reached the last room; her bedroom. The furniture had been turned over, except for her bed. Thrax's sister was lying in her bed; her expression matched Elaine's. She too had scratches and bruises across her body, but her throat wasn't slit. The unnatural angle of her neck indicated that it had been broken.

Thrax collapsed onto his knees and whispered,

"… Amy…"

Kyrosis saw the tears rolling down Thrax's cheeks, but she noticed something on the wall. It was a message written in blood; Red Death blood. It read,

"Red Death is a common cold compared to Ebola"

That made Kyrosis realize who did it, her own boyfriend killed their best friend's family all because of a killing test Thrax won.

"Thrax…" Kyrosis whimpered, her legs almost failing to keep her up right.

Thrax put his sister down on the floor and stared at the message. He growled something and roared. He punched the wall until it fell apart. Kyrosis sank to her knees and allowed the tears flow.

"My… boyfriend killed… your family…" Kyrosis whimpered, shaking like a leaf. Her sobs rattled her shoulders and her heart shattered. Ed did all of this because of his jealousy… no one with the right mind would do this. Her heart suddenly hardened; her sadness crystalizing into rage. That virus no longer deserved her love; not even her mercy.

Kyrosis stood up shakily, but she looked up at Thrax.

"Let's get Ed, before he runs away" Kyrosis fumed

A/N Hey y'all! Long time no see! It's been waaay too long since I last posted on this story, but... I... had... writer's... block. Yeah not a good excuse, I know. But I really hope you like this one... I couldn't exactly decide what I wanted in it, but I know I wanted the part where Kya sees what Ed's done.

I need help as well, I think I need to delete my story called The Scarred Racer, because I think it'll throw other readers off. If you compare that story to this one, then the plot lines don't exactly line up... but tell me what ya think. I might just do a time skip... Anyway!

See you in the next chapter ;3
