Cole open his eyes slowly to the bright morning sun. He sat up and looked around. Memories from the day before rushed back into his head. But one thing wasn't quite right… Kai was gone!
Cole got up and grabbed the box and lowered himself back into Kai's bedroom. He carefully placed the box in the closet as if were something so fragile that you could break it if you handled it too rough… and then Cole realized that Kai was like that too. His soul was already burned and scarred. It was cracked in many places. And if you handled too rough even once.. Then everything would shatter into a million pieces
Cole shook his head and cleared his head of thoughts. He closed the closet door and walked out of the spotless room and began looking for Kai. He checked every room but still couldn't manage to find him. So at last, he resorted to looking outside. He opened the door and stepped out into the cool morning air "Kai!" Cole called loudly. Cole looked up at the sky… It was cloudless…. It seemed as if the sky was a vast, blue ocean that stretched across the horizon as far as the eye could see.
He looked across the horizon and noticed a speck of red at the bottom of the steps leading to the deck.. But he also noticed another speck….. He ran swiftly down the steps and hid behind the mast so that he could hear or see him. "Kai…. why did you run from me?" A dark voice said… Cole recognized the voice from the recording that the ''masked figure'' had sent to them the morning after Kai was kidnapped, but he couldn't see this person for he (or she) had their back turned to Cole.
"You know exactly why I ran from you…" Kai said in a low voice. "Kai look at me when I'm speaking to you and stop mumbling!" The other man (or woman) said. A hand shot out and grabbed Kai by the hair forcing him to look the person in the eyes. "Stop it!" Kai yelled grabbing the hand that held fistfuls of hair. "You are a sorry excuse for a man! To think you are the son of Ray!"
Kai's eyes turned blood red and he grab the man by his shirt "NO, YOU ARE A SORRY EXCUSE FOR AN UNCLE!" Tears ran down Kai's cheeks "YOU WILL NEVER BE A PART OF THIS FAMILY!" Kai threw the man into the dirt. Kai was now breathing hard as he tried to calm himself.. His hands ignited in flames and he walked towards his uncle. "K-Kai, please stop t-this now!" His uncle said in a terrified voice as he scooted away from his nephew.. "What would Nya say if you killed your own uncle?!" "I told you to stop… back in Oroborus didn't I? And did you stop?! DID YOU UNCLE!"
Cole saw a flash of metal and before he knew it the guy known as Kai's uncle was holding Kai at gunpoint. "Back away from me Kai… Now" This only made Kai madder and his fists burst with blue flames. "We don't want your friend to get hurt do we?" Before Cole know it the gun was pointing in his direction.. "Get up! I know you're there!'' The man yelled. Cole stood up without protest and walked slowly over to the man. Kai's wild eyes trained onto Cole's and they instantly became the color Cole had come to know.. Not the blood red color they were moments before.. "Cole.." Kai said in a small voice The man turned towards Cole. Cole's midnight colored eyes widened a little as he took in the image of the man before him. The man looked like an almost exact copy of Kai.. The same Brown, spiky hair Same tan skin The only difference was this man had breathtakingly beautiful blue eyes…
The man smiled "Nice of you to join us Brookstone" 'How does he know my name?' Cole thought to himself. "Cole don't move" Kai said in a sharp voice. The man smiled insanely and pointed the gun towards Cole "Now Kai what do you say about coming back?" The man said in a calm tone Kai looked down and nodded. "Good.." he smiled "Kai don't!" Cole said in a desperate tone. Kai looked up at Cole with a sad smile "It'll be okay" Kai said in a sad voice
All of a sudden something burst from the trees and Kai's uncle hits the ground with a thud.. But not before he lets a bullet fly. Cole looks up when a cry is heard. He is met with the sight of a girl. Kai runs over and helps the girl up as she grasps him for support. The girl looks up and her eyes meet Cole's. They are Blue and have red flecks.. Kind of like the ones in Kai's green ones. Kai grasps on the girl tightly and that's when Cole noticed the blood.. "Oh shit" Cole muttered under his breath "set her down Kai''... Kai nods keeping a close eye on his uncle. The girl sits holding her arm tightly.. Kai automatically takes off his shirt and wraps his shirt around her arm. Cole stares at the girl taking in her features.. Other than her eyes that is.. She has fair skin, and has an athletic build… brown hair and fair skin.. The same sharp featured to her face as Kai.. "Kai… who is this?" he mumbles
Kai looks up his eyes meeting Cole's "Cole this is my cousin Seika… and she just saved your life."
