Chapter 10 – Flashback

After moments of struggling with Kai's unconscious form, the red head managed to lay Kai on his soft bed.

He sat beside him and looked at Kai's face. His palm went to touch Kai's forehead. He frowned, Kai felt a little warm. He hoped Kai wasn't feeling ill again.

As he kept staring into Kai's face, he smiled. Kai looked so innocent and peaceful and…very…cute…

Wait? Did he just think Kai looked cute? Well…he had to admit Kai did look cute asleep. He sighed as his knuckles went to caress Kai's cheek softly. He moved closer to Kai to take a better look at him. He smiled as he continued to run his knuckles across Kai's face.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~~*~

Kai unaware of his surroundings, was having a dream….

"I um…have to get going." Kai pushed Andrew away. Andrew's blue eyes' stared into Kai's crimson ones for a few seconds then nodded in understanding, His arms leaving Kai's neck.

Kai turned to leave and walked towards the huge front gates of his mansion. "KAI!" he heard someone call him. He turned to look behind him, Andrew was still standing were Kai had been a few seconds ago.

"I love you."Andrew shouted as he smiled.

Kai said nothing. He didn't want to hurt Andrews's feelings, so he just simply smiled and turned walk again towards the gates.

His hand went to touch his lips. He has never been kissed before. And especially by a guy!. He just hoped Andrew didn't get the wrong Idea and got his hopes high.

He clicked a few numbers on a little device next the right gate. With a light beep sound the gates opened, and Kai went to enter.

Once he entered the mansion he walked towards the huge stairs that led to his room. He stopped when he sensed someone to his right. His grandfather, Voltaire, was glaring at him.

Kai glared at him back, as Voltaire started to walk towards Kai. Before he knew what hit him, Kai's head went flying to his right. Kai quickly turned to glare at his grandfather as he realized he had just slapped him.

"What the hell was that for?!" he growled.

"Never have I thought for my own grandson to be…homosexual!!!" Voltaire roared, as he took a step closer to Kai.

"Do not question that which, you know nothing of !!" Kai shouted as he took a step back. He looked into Voltaire's eyes and knew what the old man was thinking off.

"I know what I saw !!" Voltaire shouted back.

Kai wasn't going to argue with him, he knew what he would get in return if he did. He quickly turned to walk up the stairs, without saying anything to Voltaire.

"Don't you turn your back on me Kai!!" Voltaire shouted.

Kai kept walking up the stairs. He stopped when he saw one of Voltaire's men. 'Great…' Kai thought. In an instant he switched directions. He jumped to one side of the stairs, to land softly on the ground.

He started to run. He was heading towards the front doors, when he suddenly stopped. Two other men were blocking the entrance. Kai growled in annoyance. He turned again to see one of Voltaire's men coming towards him.

Kai quickly ran towards him and jumped to give a high kick in the man's stomach. He sended him to the floor hard. Kai smiled as he landed on the floor pleased of what he just did.

He was suddenly grabbed by his torso. He knew it was another of Voltaire's men. He struggled and gave his adversary a hit with his elbow, which it released him from the grip.

A sudden fist hit his head sending Kai to the ground quickly. It dizzied him and before he could get up two strong men grabbed him by his arms to stand him up. His vision was blurry, he saw Voltaire coming towards him. He was holding a whip, with his other hand he motioned his men something.

Kai was pushed down to kneel forcefully. One guy took hold of his arms while the other men ripped open Kai's shirt from the back.

"This lesson will teach you to make better decisions, and to never turn your back on me." Voltaire stepped behind Kai, and raised the whip ready to hit Kai. Kai struggled to get free, but he knew what was coming for him. He closed his eye's tightly, and prepared for the pain he was about to endure.

He went to school the next day like nothing had happened. Despite the pain he would feel at any movement his body made, he had to focus on school. Any bad grade he got on his classes would mean more punishment.

As he walked through the halls slowly, he would try to not talk or meet the few friends he had. Especially Andrew, after he kissed him last night.

"Kai! Hey!"

Speaking of which. 'Great' he thought as he kept walking. He knew Andrew would catch up to him. As he predicted, said person ran to catch up to him and walked beside him.

"Hi." Andrew greeted cheerfully.

"..Hey.." Kai replied as he kept walking.

They both kept walking and stayed silent for a few seconds, when Kai suddenly stopped. Andrew stopped too confused as why Kai suddenly had stopped. Kai tried to hide his expression of pain but his body gave up on him.

His shoulder slowly leaned to the nearest wall, and closed his eyes tightly. Andrew noticed his Kai's expression and quickly stood next to him.

"What's wrong?" He quickly asked.

"…..Nothing…" Kai said slowly as he sat down on the floor.

Andrew wasn't convinced. He went to sit next to Kai. "Tell me." He looked at him worriedly. He placed his hand on Kai's back. Kai winced at the touch. "What?" Andrew asked. He felt his palm sweaty. He retrieved his hand to look at it.

His hand was covered with blood. He turned to look at Kai, he was breathing rapidly. "Kai…you're hurt." Andrew quickly helped Kai to stand "Come." He led Kai to the nearest restrooms.

Checking no one else was in the bathrooms with them, Andrew locked the door and told Kai to take off his shirt. Kai slowly took off his black medium sleeve shirt. Andrew approached Kai to look at his back. There were several long marks, fresh blood was slowly running down Kai's back.

"Who did this to you?" Andrew's voice was serious and deep.

"I'm ….fine.." Kai replied slowly.

"Kai…Who did this to you??" Andrew said a little louder. When Kai didn't respond, Andrew sighed and went to face Kai. "It was your grandfather, wasn't it." Kai kept looking away. Andrew placed his hand on Kai's cheek and looked at him.

"Please…don't tell anyone." Kai whispered.

"Why?"

"He'll give me worse punishment…" Kai kept looking down.

"But-"

"Please…just don't do it." Too consumed by the pain, Kai rested his head on Andrew's shoulder.

Days went by and Kai and Andrew would talk more often to one another. But they were days were Kai would show to school with minor bruises or injuries. Andrew couldn't stand to watch Kai suffer and endure pain.

One night Kai got home late. When he entered his mansion there was an awkward silence. His grandfather would usually greet him at certain times but Kai could feel a eerie presence. He walked to the kitchen and saw no one. Then he walked to the living room. There was a strong scent of something. When he entered the living room, he froze at what he saw. Voltaire was lying on the ground, covered in blood.

His men were all scattered around the living room. Stains of blood were on the living room wall, as well as in furniture and the floor. Kai's heart started to beat quickly. What the hell had just happened??!!

"Kai." a voice came from his right.

Kai gasped and quickly turned to see Andrew walking towards him. His clothes were covered in blood. He was holding a knife in his right hand. Half of his face was covered in blood to. But the look Andrew's eyes expressed…something Kai had never seen before.

Andrew stepped closer to Kai and smiled at him evilly. "My dear Kai…I have freed you…" he whispered as he placed his bloody hand on Kai's cheek.

~*~~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*

Tala looked at Kai closely. Kai's face looked like it was in pain. Before Tala knew it, Kai suddenly waked up with a gasp, and sat up quickly. Tala was so close to him, that Kai unconsciously hugged him.

Tala stayed surprised. Kai was breathing quickly. Tala placed his hands on Kai's back. "it's ok. It was just a dream." He whispered.

"He…continues to haunt …me." Kai whispered as he hid his face in Tala's neck. Tala sighed and let go of Kai and looked at his face, he knew he was referring to his stalker. "Help me. Help me capture him." Tala said.

"You can't…he'll-"

"I can help you Kai. Just tell me how can I find him." Kai stared and stayed silent and nodded slowly.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~

Outside Kai's new apartment, between the tall tress and in the darkness of the night, a figure hid under the woods of a tree. He was looking through a window from far away.

He could see Kai and Tala talking. He had just seen them hug a few seconds ago. And he did not like that at all…..
