Chapter 14: my salvation

(Rei)

I pace the floor as I watch the window, waiting for the bright yellow Taxi to show up.

My old comrades are supposed to be here today, it only took them one day to get

here, and now I'm waiting for them to arrive from the airport. Mr. Dickinson sits on

the couch beside Kai's mother, helping her fill out some form of legal forms, and my

ears prick up at the question.

" Now, this section keeps myself and anyone I say away from Kai right?" I turn

quickly my eyes narrowing.

" Your giving your son up!? How could you!" I ask, ignoring the door bell as I gaze at

the woman in front of me, clearly distressed. Serenity closes her eyes and nods,

tears slipping from under the closed lids.

" How, how could you!? He's in need of your guidance! Now more than ever! He will

need you beside him as he recovers!" I yell and try to move closer to the woman but

I feel hands hold me around the waist and stop as the growl reaches my ears.

" Rei, don't worry, if she doesn't want Kai, we will help him through this." I turn to

see Lee's smirking face and know everything was going to be fine.

" Where is he?" Lee asks, his own eyes hard and uncaring. Serenity looks at them

and laughs bitterly.

" What are a bunch of teenagers going to do about a drug attic man and a damaged

child?" I tense at the latter and snarl, stopping as Mr. Dickinson stands up, raising

his hands.

" Now, now, now, Serenity these boys, and girls are willing to help you find your son.

I know Kai is strong but even he can be broken and right now these kids are his only

hope." I nod, moving to the door, a snarl on my lips, aiming it at Serenity.

"Let's go, the longer we take the worse off Kai is. Let's go." I walk out the door and

stalk down the street, going in the direction of the mill, my eyes hard and

determined. The others are following me, and I know we will prevail.

(Kai)

I'm pulled into consciousness by a hard punch into my gut, my eyes snap open

showing the face of my assailant. Without thinking I snarl and kick at the man,

hitting him right in his exposed crotch. His eyes seem to bulge for a second and a

smile creeps over his features. I know my mistake. Serge's smile broadens as he

reaches down and gropes me, I hear myself whimper and grasp the Bit in my hand

tighter, silently asking for the courage to get through this.

" Good morning lover." Serge smiles and runs his hands over my abused body.

Hands hitting bruised and scarred areas, making me gasp as he put pressure on

certain areas.

" Not to talkative today are we?" I didn't respond.

" Come with me bitch, we're going to play." He grabs me by the scruff of my neck

and throws me into the corner near the animal cages. My face is pressed against a

cage containing a black puppy, his tongue lashes out and licks my face. I look at the

pup and sadness sweeps over me as I see how thin he is. The black coat is a dull and

wiry, eye without a shine. I feel very sorry and silently apologize to it.

" Now, what should we give you today?" Serge asks no one in particular, knowing I

wouldn't respond. He picks up a syringe and looks at it, his eyes glowing strangely.

He then looks at me and walks over to an empty cage, beside the puppy, and opens

it.

" Get in there, now mongrel." He kicks at me, and hits my fingers, making them

constrict in pain. I howl as he grabs my foot and yanks me to the cage and shoves

me in, the wire scraping areas that wouldn't normally be exposed. He slams the door

and I hold back a whimper. Smiling he reaches into the cage and pushes the needle

into my flesh, making me squirm as he injects the drug into my blood stream. I feel

it take affect, my limbs growing numb, along with my head. I can't see anything but

a hue of blue and reds, mixing to make purple. I blink, trying to keep my wits about

me, but I can't the fog is too heavy. I lay my face on the wire bottom, feeling the

moisture of my own skin. I look at my hand, yet it doesn't look like a hand, more like

bones and stripped flesh. I scream, horror overtaking the fog in my mind. I rub my

bone like hand against the wire wall, sobbing, as all it does is make the bone whiter.

(A/n: If you don't understand, Serge injected Kai with a hallucinogenic drug, and

he's seeing his own hand as bones, and he's trying to scrap it off.)

" Interesting results." Serge says as I yelp as I get a sight of my torso, that is

covered in large wolf spiders, their eight legs crawling all over my body. I claw at

them, and yank at my skin. I'm terrified of spiders, and having them on me only

makes it worse. Somewhere in the distance I hear a door slam open, but I'm too

concerned with the moving spiders, which are slowly making their way to my face

and neck. I scream again as they reach my eyes, my hands clawing at them, trying

to throw them off me.

(Rei)

I find the mill and indicate to the other's to look for an entrance to the basement.

Kevin calls me over and points at a ground level trap door. Smiling I get Lee and

Gary to help me shove the wooden door open. Looking down into the stair well I

shudder not knowing what's happening.

" Did you hear that?" Lee asks as we walk down the stairs, I shake my head. I

couldn't hear anything other than my won breathing, and that was getting harder. I

reach the door and press my ear against the wooden surface and close my eyes at

the agonized scream that comes through the door.

" That's what I heard." Lee mutters and I turn to look at them. Their faces are filled

with worry, Mariah's etched with tears.

" Mariah stay here, I don't know what's going on in there." She nods and I hand her

the bag that contains the medical kit, and blankets. She goes back up the stairs and

out into the daylight.

" Kai once said that he was sexually abused by Serge, that's what might be going on

in there. Just keep you eyes set to finding Kai and we will find him." The boys nod,

and I shake my head at Gary, and the large boy yanks the door off the hinges and I

run into the room, holding back a cry as I do so.

Serge stands in the right area, near caged animals. A bed is on the other side,

rumpled sheets indicate what went on and I shudder at the thought. Running my

eyes over the cages I am shocked to see the puppies and kittens inside each wire

cage, but even more horrified to see Kai, huddled in the one next to a puppy. Blood

ran from Kai's pale skin, making him seem smaller than before.

" What the fuck have you done to him?!" Tyson yells, aiming his Sling shot at the

man. He lets it go, along with Max and Kenny, and I smile at the entourage of rocks

and pointy projectiles go flying at the man. Serge gets some pointy things lodged

into his face and hands, but still smiles. Lee looks at me and I nod, he and Gary go

after Serge with crowbars both snarling battle cries. I race over tot he cage where

Kai is, huddled in the corner, breathing hard. Opening the cage I whisper

" Kai, it's okay it's me Rei!" Kai's eyes seems to focus on my, but suddenly roll into

his head, and he slumps foreword. I reach in ad grasp the slick skin, and pull my

friend out. My eyes widen in horror at the nude and bloody boy, his skin pale and

stained with blood. I hug the shivering body close to me and then heft him into my

arms, turning I stop. My eyes look at the small puppy, barking and trying to lick at

Kai in my arms. Something is telling me to release the puppy, so I reach over with

my foot and hit the latch. The dog pushes the door open with his nose and races

outside ahead of me. Mariah waits with the blankets and I take one from her, and

drape it over Kai's exposed body. His shivering increases but seems to be out of

exhaustion than fear. Inside I hear the agonized yells of Serge, and then see Gary's

head come out from the doorway.

" All done Rei." He drawls and I smile. The others come out, and Tyson dials the

police's number, calling in an anonymous tip to a drug dealer's hide out.

" Let's get Kai home." I tell them and heft Kai again and walk back to Tyson's house,

the small black puppy following behind me.
