I do NOT OWN From Dusk Till Dawn. I only OWN Makayla 'Kai' Boatman AND Sinbad Calder.
Makayla/Kai's POV
"Sinbad! No!"
What happened next was a blur. After what happened, I was pulled into a car and then we drove away quickly. I just seemed to black out. I couldn't move. I couldn't hardly even breathe. The man that was like my brother...taken from me in the most horrible way.
It was supposed to be me. He's dead because of me.
"He came out of nowhere." The girl, I now knew as Kate, finally said. She was the one that pulled me into the backseat, who now sat beside me. It's been awhile since anyone talked really. Probably an hour or two. Who knows? "I had no way of knowing that he was going-"
"I knew it. I knew this was going to happen." He cut in, making my eyebrows furrowed a bit.
"How could you possibly know?" Kate asked in disbelief.
"Because I'm a professional crook and I've lived long enough to know anything is shit." He answered, looking through the mirror to look at me. I just shook my head, turning to look away from him. Did I turn him into this? Did my leaving turn him into a criminal? Was everything my fault? "I smelled it al over your little street rat, too."
"Rafa was my friend and he tried to help us. Just as Makayla tried to as well before he shot at us." She argued, glancing towards me. She gave me a small smile, telling me that she wasn't saying it, gaining a small fake one in return. I didn't regret helping them. I just regretted that Sinbad got killed in the process of saving me. Everything was supposed to be fine. Now, everything is not fine.
"No, he was one of 'em and you knew it." He argued back, ignoring what she said about me.
"Yes, I did know, and I trusted him." She admitted softly. "He was going to help me with my brother."
"You want help? Let me help you." He questioned strongly. "And listen real close because this one's gold. Everybody that you have ever loved is dead. Including your brother."
"Seth, that's enough." I told him angrily, grabbing Kate's hand. She looked empty and sad. Seth had no right to say that to her. I may not know what all happened with her, but she seems to just want to find her brother.
"Oh, now you want to talk?" He snapped making my eyes widen. "I thought you would've been quiet ever since what happened with-"
"I swear, if you say his name right or wrong, I'm going to kick your ass." I told him angrily. "I don't know why you're acting like this, but the Seth I knew wouldn't be like this."
"Well, that's your fault for leaving. Do you know that your family blamed me for your disappearance? Do you know how much I blamed myself for you leaving? Now, what? Ten years or so years have passed and I find you here with a guy? What am I supposed to think?" He questioned left and right.
"If you just listened to me from before, you would know-"
"Stop the car." Kate cut me off, causing both Seth and I to stop arguing.
""Stop the car" What are you talking about?" He questioned in shock.
"Stop the car."
"What?"
"Stop the goddamn car!" She screamed, tired of his questions and actions. I shut my eyes tightly, her scream hurting my heightened hearing. Seth pulled over to the side of the road harshly, making the both of us jerk forward a bit. He turned to look at her, a peeved look on his face.
"You want out? Get out. You want to go play out into the darkness, little miss sunshine? You be my guest. I don't need this shit." He spat, turning back to look at the front.
"Seth."
"Why don't you get out too? Leave again. Just like you did before." He stated, turning back to stare at me with harsh eyes. "That is what you do best, right? Now you'll underhand how it feels to be alone." He told me. I snapped and before I knew it, I slapped him in the face.
Hard.
"You can go to hell, Seth. You know what, I'm sorry that I turned you into this person. You want the truth in why I left? Well, here it is. After work and after I got off the phone with you, I was murdered and turned into something. I killed someone when I came back to life. That's why I left. I left to protect you, my family, my friends, everybody!" I yelled, not caring that Kate was still in the car. "I found help and it was Sinbad. He was what I was and much older. He helped me learn control so that I could come back home to you. After three or four years later, I did come back, but you had someone else. So, I left and thought that you didn't need me anymore. I wanted you to be happy.
"But, now that I see you like this, I'm shocked to not see my Seth. My mentor, my friend, my family, died for me and you can't give him respect. I'm disappointed in you. You want me gone. Fine. You won't have to see me again." I finished angrily and let go of Kate's hand. She gave me a sad look as Seth had many emotions on his face. I turned my gaze onto her and said, "If you want help finding your brother, I'll help you. It's the least I can do since you pulled me into the car. Plus, us girls have to stick together."
And, after that, I got out of the car and started to walk away, standing away at a distance, waiting for Kate. After a moment, she got out of the car with a bag in hand along with what looked like a passport. Seth took off when she began to walk towards me, her face showing sadness and emptiness.
"I think I might take you up on that offer." She said, giving me a small smile. I gave her one back, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"I would be happy to." I said when we heard the sound of breaks. The two of us looked up to see that the car stopped and started to reverse. I stood in front of her as it stopped, the breaks squealing loudly. Seth got out of the car and slammed it shut with a bag in his hand.
"Take it." He ordered Kate, pushing it towards her. She grabbed it and the two of us stared at Seth in shock. He grabbed a roll of money before he walked away from us. But, he stopped and stared at me before nodding off to the side so that she wouldn't hear. I sighed before following after him. "What are you? A culebra?"
"Psionic vampire. I won't hurt Kate. I know how to control it now." I answered immediately. His eyes narrowed a bit before softening. "So, you believe me?"
"I don't know what to believe anymore." He stated, causing me to look down at my feet. "But I would like to know all that happened."
"I-" I stuttered, not believing how he was acting now. He was just a complete dick to me in the car and now he is acting like this? "-I'd like that. But, after I help Kate."
"Understandable." He nodded, staring at the girl behind me for a second. "Take care of her. I promised her that I wouldn't let her get hurt."
"She won't. I promise. She'll be safe with me." I promised, looking up at him. He looked back down at me and I could see that he looked like he was hurting. "I am sorry. For leaving. I didn't mean to hurt you. You know that I would never have done it intentionally. Not after all that we went through. And, I promise you that I will come back and tell you everything that you need to know."
"I know." He said before walking off. I stared after him in longing, but sighed, knowing that I couldn't leave Kate.
"Are you sure that you don't want to go with him?" Kate asked as we got into the car, me in the driver seat and her in the passenger seat. "I would understand. I can find my brother on my own."
"Seth knows that I'll come back now." I answered softly, turning to give her a smile. "Plus, I promised you that I'd help you find your brother. I can't go back on that promise."
"Thank you. You just met me and you're helping me. I don't know how I could ever repay you." She said with a small smile. I gave her one back and started the car.
"You can repay me by getting your brother back. You don't know how lucky you are to have yours." I sighed, putting the car in drive and started on our journey.
"I'm sorry about Sinbad."
"Me too, Kate. Me too."
