Okay, so now that school started (ugh, shop one week, normal school the next), I'll probably only update on the weekends. I'm sorry, but I'm swamped with homework every night! So there might be the rare occasions in the winter when I have a snow day and update during the week, but other then that it's weekends and vacations. Sorry guys.
Don and Cole were sent looking for Kai, along with Ryan, Skylor and Nya. The five of them quickly headed to the village, hoping that Kai wasn't too far. Cole was honestly worried for him, because the last person who left on their own was kicked out, and the lesson was taught to each of the kids in the village at a young age. Cole looked over at Nya, who was shaking, Skylor trying to calm her down. Ryan seemed a little lost, not entirely sure how to lead the group, while Don was explaining a few things to him since he was a cabin leader.
"Come on Kai." Cole muttered. "Where the heck are you?"
Meanwhile, Kai was sitting on the ground with a boy a year younger then him that had a wide stripe of black in the middle of his white hair. His eyes were a pale violet, and he was nervously looking around.
"Kai, are you sure I'll be safe with you in this... village?" He asked.
"Yeah Neuro, you'll be fine." Kai assured. "I'm okay, right?" Neuro nodded, uncertain.
"Yeah..."
"See? But I'm sorry for taking so long. My cabin wasn't going out here for a while, so I had to leave on my own."
"I understand. From the way you talk, you seem to be rather to close to some of the people there..."
"Well, yeah, my sister's there. So I'm close to her of course."
"Understandable." Neuro said, nodding. "If I had a sibling, I would be close to them as well."
"Well, you'll grow close to people in the village."
"Yeah, I get it. Shall we go?"
"Yeah." Kai stood up, then helping Neuro to his feet.
"Kai?!"
The search party hadn't been having any luck when Ryan decided they should split up.
"Okay, Nya, Skylor and Cole, you three stay together, and Don, you're with me." Ryan said, starting off with Don.
"We could try the edge of the woods." Nya suggested.
"Good idea." Cole said as the three started out of tow, walking along the edge of the woods. They walked for about five minutes before Nya let out a cry.
"Kai?!" Cole and Skylor whipped their heads around, seeing Nya run into the trees. Skylor was the first to run after Nya, Cole hesitating before running after the girls.
"N-Nya?! What the heck are you doing here?!" Kai asked, shielding Neuro, who was shaking.
"Why did you leave?!"
"I promised Neuro I'd help him!" Kai snapped. Cole glanced over at Skylor.
"Go find Ryan and Don." Cole said to her, and she nodded, running off. Cole placed a hand on Nya's shoulder. "Tone it down." The girl huffed, looking away.
"I'm only trying to help someone!" Kai yelled.
"We get it, Kai!" Cole snapped. "Just shut up already!"
"What were you thinking?!" Don yelled at Kai, grabbing the back of his shirt. "You could've- who's this?"
"He's Neuro, and I promised that I'd help him." Kai growled.
"...Fine, if he wants, he can come with us." Ryan said, grabbing Kai's arm. He looked over at Neuro. "Don't worry, we won't hurt you."
"Okay..." Neuro said, following the small group.
"When are they gonna be back here?" Lloyd asked Jay, who was reading the names on his and Cole's bed.
"What was the name of the kid that Cole was partnered with?" Jay asked, ignoring Lloyd's question.
"Uh, I think his name was Zane. Why?"
"Well, I found his name."
"Jay, that doesn't answer my question." Lloyd said.
"Uh, right," Jay said. "What'd you want again?"
"When do you think everyone's going to be back?" Lloyd asked again.
"I'm not sure." Jay admitted.
"I hope they find Kai."
"Yeah, me-" Jay said, cut off by Nya opening the door.
"You two, lunch hall, now." She ordered.
"S-sure, Nya." Jay said, taking Lloyd's hand and getting up.
"Well, hurry up you two!"
"Alright, calm down!" Lloyd said.
Le gasp! What happens to Kai? And yes, I added Neuro per a request from StoryWriter2003 (though I was probably gonna add him anyway). I'll update as much as I can this weekend.
