Chapter 6

"Ken, you hold her now. If she screams, just throw her on the ground"

They were by the stream now. It wasn't deep at all, only about a foot deep. However it would be

more then enough to drown her. All she had to do was hold Kari's head underwater. Kari was trembiling,

tears running down her face.

Sakura smiled, Kari's fear was so intense you could feel it as though it were a solid object.

"Aw, what's the matter? Pretty little bitch didn't get things her way? Well is suits you right!You took my friends away from me!

You turned Moninoke and Jun against me!"

"No, I never even wanted to be in your gang"cried Kari"You forced-

Sakura slugged Kari hard in the gut. Kari's head fell low, catching her breath.

Sakura held Kari's face to hers.

"Feeling so good about yourself now bitch?"

Sakura slapped her harshly and kneed her in the gut. She laughed as Kari

spat blood out. Ken turned his head the other way. Just because he was helping

Sakura with her revenge didn't mean he had to watch it.

"Ken, you can't hold me anymore!"

Ken held the growl under his breath. Sakura slapped Kari viscously again.

"Feel the pain, I want you to suffer like never before so your death will be that

much better"said Sakura.

Kari wanted to wake up, this was a dream. But it wasn't, she was at Sakura's mercy.

Sakura clamped a hand over Kari's mouth as she pulled some of her hair hard. Kari's screams

were muffled.

"I'm coming out!"

Ken couldn't hold him back. Kaiser came out. He dropped Kari and slapped Sakura down

hard.

"What the hell you doing Ken!"

"No little bitch, Kaiser's in control now. I'm running the show now little girl"said

Kaiser taking something from his pocket.

"She's what!"gasped Tai.

"She's gone, she must've escaped somehow!"said Cody's mother.

"We have to find her now!"said Tai running off.

"Tai, wait!"

However Tai had run off too quickly.

*****************************************************************************************************

With one slash of the throat, Sakura fell into the stream. The blood flooded from

her neck. She was dead, no question.

Kari managed to to turn forward and get her feet flat on the ground. Then she pushed her weight up,

even without the use of her bound arms.

She tried to run off, her leg mostly healed, however Ken, or rather Kaiser, tripped her to the ground.

He rolled Kari over onto her back and sat ontop of her.

Kari closed her eyes, waiting for it to come.

"This is it. There's no escape. I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die! I'm sorry Tai,

T.K, Davis, everyone. I'll never see you again"she thought, her face practicly drowned

in tears.

"Aw don't cry, you're ruining the good mood. I even have

an erection coming on. This is the perfect moment"

Kari knew death was iminent, however she wass gonna die fighting.

She threw all her weight to help her roll over, knocking Ken to the ground. Kari barely managed to get up.

She got away this time, Kaiser unable to trip her in time.

"You get back here!"

Kari ran with all her might, running with every ounce of God given speed.

"Maybe I can make it. I have to"she thought.

Kari was lost and she knew it. She took a left. Her main priority was to get away from Ken.

She needed to find a hiding spot. However Kaiser was catching up on her. He was just a few feet behind now.

"Give up Kari, otherwise I'll have to discipline you!"

Kari ignored his words and continued to run.

She was losing focus, everything was becoming a blur. NO! If she passed out she may never wake up.

Those drugs were kicking in again, she's taken so many of them. She was gonna die. There was no escape.

She was as good as dead.

Kaiser was too focused on Kari to notice the stone before his path. His toes hit it, causing him to

trip over it.

Kari was abruptly grabbed, a hand over her mouth.

"Sssh, it's okay"

Kari looked up, it was Yolie!

Kari tried to gasp but Yolie kept the hand over her mouth.

"You'll get us caught"

They were in some bushes, mostly clear of branches and such annoying things.

"Whatever you do, don't say a word"whispered Yolie taking her hand off.

Kari nodded and peeked out of the bushes for Ken. Yolie did so as well, there was no sign of him.

"You stay here Kari, I'll go out and look"

Yolie stepped out of the bushes and looked around. No one seemed to be around for miles. She kept looking

over the same areas again and again, she wanted to be positive he wasn't around. He must've been gone.

The trees were too slim, if he tried to hide behind one she would see him easily.

When she saw he wasn't within distance she told Kari to come out. The bushes fourtanately were about their size,

it was more of a fort when you looked at it.

"Thanks Yolie"said Kari stepping out.

"No prob"

She hadn't noticed until now that Kari's hands were tied behind her.

"Turn around Kari, I'll untie ya"

This wouldn't be easy. The knots were tight, and her fingernails were getting

dull.

Kari stared out nervously, hoping to God Ken wasn't coming back. It felt like hours until

Yolie comepletly untied her, even though it was fifteen minutes.

"Thanks Yolie, I owe my life"said Kari hugging her, tears falling out.

Yolie felt shocked at first, but it was natural of Kari or anybody.

"It's okay, I know you would've done the same for me. Besides, I'm the one

who made you an outcast in the first place so I owed you"

"I guess. What are you doing out here anyway Yolie?"asked Kari.

"I'm hiding. Two girls named Moninoke and Jun are after me. They wanted

to make an example of me they said. They were gonna strip me naked and

nail me to a tree. I managed to get away thank goodne-

"Moninoke and Jun!"gasped Kari.

"You know them?"asked Yolie.

"Yeah! When I first moved here they forced me to join their

gang. They're the ones who knocked you out and robbed you that day"said Kari.

"Why those little tramps! At least I got away, by the way, how did Ken get out?

How did he hold you hostage for so long? Now at least we don't have to pay the ransom"

"No, I was taken from my abductors by a girl named Sakura, former part of Moninoke's

gang. Ken was with her, they were gonna kill me"said Kari.

"Let's get you out of here"

****************************************************************************************************

It was a long walk.The walk took days in fact,

with nothing but Berries off of branches to eat and

water when they came by streams. Nothing exciting happened though. On the way Kari told Yolie everything she went

through. From where she was grabbed and stuffed into a truck, up to where Sakura and Ken had brought her

out in the woods and were gonna kill her.

Yolie knew the way luckily, so they weren't last.

"Man, and I thought I went through crap. I would've gone home and to the police

except I was too far away, the woods were pretty close by. It's a good thing.

To be honest, Ken would've caught you"said Yolie.

"I know"said Kari.

Another turn or so and they were out of the woods(no pun intended)

All there was now was a dirt trail to follow to the city. They kep silent, Ken might've been around.

He wasn't. No one was around though, no branch breaking, no crunching, silent.

"Oh boy, I'm gonna be a walking media circus again when I get back"said Kari groaningly.

"Well I wish I could tell ya otherwise but-

"Then you'd be fooling no one"finished Kari.

"Yeah pretty much, but I sometimes wonder if even I can fool me"

They both laughed at this.

"Yolie, by the way, how ya doing after that attempted rape?"asked Kari.

"Thanks for asking but it's not that bad. I'll let you in on a secret, I'm not a virgin"

"WHAT!"gasped Kari loudly.

"Please, keep it a secret, okay? I'd tell you who I did it with but you wouldn't know her"

"Her? Oh my God Yolie, you're a lesbian"gasped Kari barely above a whisper.

"I know, it's nothing I'm proud of either. You're probaly worried that-

"No Yolie. I should know better then anybody you can't judge someone by race, sexuality, gender,

or rumors. You have to know the person yourself before you can make asssumpsions"

"So, you don't, care that I'm a lesbian?"asked Yolie.

"No, it dosen't matter. It dosen't change a thing"

"Thanks Kari"said Yolie.

"We're here!"gasped Kari.

They ran up, they were out of the dirt path and into a park. The beautiful fountain

sparkled during the day, however glittered at night. The moon's rays added to the spectacle.

"Finaly, we're back home"said Kari.

"Good to be home"said Yolie.

They both high fived eachother, and giggled with joy. They hugged eachother close.

"We made it Yolie"said Kari.

"Yes we did, now we can go home and forget this"said Yolie.

They seperated with a sigh.

"Kari, look over there"

It was Moninoke and Jun. Their hands were cuffed, and they were being stuffed in a police

vehicle.

The police never even looked their way so they leaft Kari and Yolie unnoticed.

"Kari!"

The taxi they were riding had now stopped. T.K and Davis unbuckled quickly, T.K dropping

the money off, and they ran after her.

"Are you allright? How did you get here?"asked Davis.

"I'm fine. Yolie and I walked here. She saved my life"

"Yolie!"gasped Davis and T.K in usion.

The two boys looked at eachother.

Kari grabbed her arm, it stung.

"What's wrong?"asked T.K.

"Let's see"said Yolie taking Kari's glove off.

They all gasped, it was bandaged pretty well. Yolie took Kari's other

glove off, the other arm was in bad shape as well.

"What happened!"said Davis.

"I'll tell ya later"said Kari.

Many people had now noticed her and were pointing and running over.

Kari ran of quickly without thinking.

"Kari wait!"gasped Yolie.

However Kari kept running without thought. She was NOT gonna be part of

another media circus!

All sense of time had been lost by the time Kari was practicly kicking herself.

What were you thinking!

Before she had time to think, she collapsed out of pure exhaustion.

**************************************************************************************************

Few Days later

It was actualy snowing now! Never had a snowstorm come so early, november had just started! It was

November 1st, twenty days from when snow was expected.

An old lady was wiping the dirt that splattered in her car when she noticed something.

A body.

"Oh my God!"

Only an arm was seen, the rest was covered in snow. She pulled the body out to find

a young girl. With the clothes she was wearing, it was a wonder she hadn't frozen to death!

She was just barely, BARELY alive. It was indeed who one would expect, Kari. Of course the old lady didn't

know it.

"Oh poor dear, I'll get you somewhere warm"

Luckily this old lady was an owner of an orphanage, where she could take care of Kari as

well as the orphans in the home.

Once again, Kari had a large obstacle ahead of her. This one, she would soon find out,

would prove the most difficult yet.

The End

I know, this part was a little short but the next one will be longer. It will be enititled:
