Chapter 10

Once they had all gotten over the shock of the news they had been given, and Hilary had calmed down they decided to head back to the hotel.

"You guys I know that these maps could either lead us to Kai, or they won't, but we're going to try following them right?" asked Tyson causing them all to stop.

"Of course we are, it's just we have to be careful because of the risks involved," replied Ray.

"It would be a better idea if we were to attempt this at night, as then it'd be harder to detect us," suggested Kenny.

"But wouldn't it also be harder for us to actually get there, since it's dark?"

"I guess, but if we start out at dusk then by the time we reach our destination it will be dark," put forward Kenny.

"Yea that sounds good, I say we do that," agreed Ray and earned nods from the rest of the group.

With Kai

The small bluenette slowly opens his eyes, only to find everything blurry. As his vision began to clear, he saw where he was; in a dark, damp cell, a cold wind blowing through every now and again, and the only light coming from between the cell door bars. It was then Kai remembered what transpired hours ago. A moan escapes his lips and he shakily gets to his feet.

Every muscle in his body tensed when he heard footsteps, his gaze was then focused on the cold grey ground, not wanting to look up. Not even when the creaking of the cell door opening reached his ears.

Kai tries not to show his fear as the man walks towards him, but soon forgets all about that when he is suddenly pushed to the floor. The frightened boy quickly scrambles to his feet but is again pushed down.

"I pushed you to the floor for a reason; now take off your top."

"But sir I haven't done anything," said Kai quickly as to try and get out of being punished.

"Oh yes you have. You managed to get away from us. Your grandfather and I couldn't find you, he was ever so upset," sneered Boris as he revealed the whip from behind his back.

"I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean to…I don't remember doing that at all," Kai told him hoping that would save him, even though he knew it would do nothing.

"Your sorry means nothing, now take off your top," ordered Boris. Kai nodded and did what he was told before leaning on all fours.

The first hit caused Kai to yelp slightly as he hadn't been ready for it. For the next ten minutes Kai tried his best not to scream by biting down on his lip. Kai could feel the blood running down his chin at having bitten so hard.

When Boris had finished Kai's back was now red raw. He then ordered Kai to put his top back on, which Kai did with the last bit of strength he had. Boris then smoothed the top over Kai's back, earning a few hisses from the boy.

The closing of the cell door signalled that Kai could now collapse on the floor, and let the tears he had been holding back fall. He sniffed every now and again and closed his eyes as he felt exhaustion take over him.

The Bladebreakers were still in their hotel room, trying to figure out which way they should be going.

"I can't work out these stupid maps," shouted Tyson as he threw them to the ground.

"Tyson don't, we need that. Why don't you let Ray or Max read them, maybe they can make more sense of them," said Hilary as she bent down to get the maps.

So Ray took all four maps and laid them out on the floor and studied each one of them; finding that on each map the hotel they were staying at was circled, and so was their destination. After about ten minutes, he found out which map was closest to where they were staying and which was the furthest.

So the five teens took the maps and set out, wanting to leave before it got too dark.

About ten minutes away was their first destination; but there was nothing there but a half demolished building. They even searched inside it for a secret way in, but found nothing. They sighed, before making their way to the next one. Once again there was nothing, this time a completely collapsed building; and this just made their hearts feel heavier.

They also found out that this was the same with the last two buildings they went to. By now they were exhausted from having to go all over town, not surprised that Boris had lied to them, and to top it all if it was pitch black.

They all sought rest in a nearby park, glad that there were a few lampposts here and there. Tyson and Max lay down on the grass, while Hilary, Ray and Kenny sat on the benches provided.

"I can't believe we thought that Boris would give us the actual map to where Kai was, I should have known it was a lie right from the start," sighed Ray.

"Yea, this was nothing but a waste of time and energy," said Tyson taking the maps off of Ray.

Just as Tyson was about to screw the maps up Hilary grabbed them out of his hands and set them down on the grass beside him.

"Hil what are you doing? You know that they don't lead us anywhere, so let me get rid of them," said Tyson kneeling down beside her.

"Yea Hil, they're of no use to us now," added Max. But Hilary wasn't listening she was rearranging the maps. While they had been walking she had kept on noticing a dark square on one side of each map. Now she just wanted to know if what she thought were true.

Once she had finished, the boys all gasped at what she had found. As you put all of the maps together, there was a building in the middle.

"That is where we have to go, come on boys," smiled Hilary grabbing the maps and standing up, as the boys just looked at one another before following her.

I hope you enjoyed.
