Chapter 5: Unwanted Feelings: Part 1
The sun rose, and with it, Kai forced himself to find new hope. He would be unlikely to see Bryony today, unless she knew about his second favourite place. It was unlikely, besides, she probably wouldn't want to see him - good riddance! He thought of his second favourite place, and his face lost some of its hardness. His favourite place was a cave on the coastline. He loved it most in stormy weather, when the ocean roared and threw itself against the shore, throwing up spray. In stormy weather, if he could get to his place in time, he was unreachable. The water flowed up the tunnel entrance and into the main chamber of the cave. In the middle of this chamber was a high tower of rock, which, when the oceans tide filled the cave, became an island in the middle of a lake. In calmer weather, he would sit at the mouth of the cave and watch the ocean. He loved the storms, they released the anger and pain he could not. The smooth, sandy surface at the entrance to the cave was also a good place for practicing his blading.
Kai checked that the black jewel was still on its chain around his throat, picked up his blade and left the house silently. It was about six o'clock in the morning and the dew still clung to the grass and plants, shimmering like diamonds. He picked his way slowly along the shingle beach towards his cave. He needed to be alone, to think. He sat at the tunnel mouth, watching the gulls swoop and dive over the gently rippling ocean. A cool salty sea breeze blew in his face, cooling him, calming him. He began to think about his parents. They'd loved the sea too, he'd always been around the sea as a young child. Until the accident of course, after which he had had to go and live with Voltaire.
He ran down the tunnel into the huge chamber in the heart of the cliff. Outside, the sky was dark and overcast. Thunder rolled, and Kai saw the first fat raindrops fall from the sky heralding the coming of a storm, as he looked over his shoulder. He reached the towering pinnacle of rock, and swiftly climbed to the top. He watched the rain get heavier, and heard the thunder rolling in. The wind howled, the rain lashed and the ocean crashed against the shore and cliffs. Soon Kai was sat on a solitary island in the middle of a lake. The wind rushed down the tunnel, carrying more rain, and whipped across his face and through his hair. His thoughts turned involuntarily towards Bryony. In spite of himself, Kai was getting to like her. Ok, so she was strikingly beautiful, but he was more attracted to her personality. She may be his enemy, and very devious, but she was also very like him. She kept her personal details to herself, and was rarely to be seen around other people. Except for Kai of course, not surprising really, considering she was meant to be digging the proverbial dirt on him. But there seemed to be a half-hearted approach to her enquiries now, and she wasn't bothered by the fact that she hadn't got any fresh information on him in a while. But he was the same. Her company was almost pleasant. Being around her wasn't as much of a strain as with other people.
'Pull yourself together Kai!' he told himself reproachfully. 'She's your enemy. Nothing more, nothing less. Treat her as one! You're here to kill her and annihilate her family. Get a grip!'
But he just couldn't shake off his sense of liking for her. He heard the wind howling and felt it whipping through his hair, but all he could think about was Bryony. Her waist length black hair. The sparkle on the water reminded him of her cool green eyes. He forced himself to think about something else.
A couple of hours later, he watched the water level fall until finally, only puddles were left. Seeing the sun setting blood red over the sea, Kai headed for home, unaware that he was being watched.

"Hey Kai, what's wrong?" Bryony looked, puzzled, at Kai's grim face. "Kai?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong with me or what's wrong with you?"
"Hey?"
"There's nothing wrong with me." He took a menacing step forward. "But you? Yeah, you have a problem. This give you a clue?" A dagger hissed out of its sheath. Bryony backed off. What was going on? Had he gone nuts? Why was he suddenly turning on her with a dagger? He was supposed to trust her, not kill her! She turned and ran. Kai kept up easily. She stumbled and hit the ground. "Bye, bye Bryony, see you in hell." He said, driving the dagger between her ribs and through her heart. The shock and pain registered on her face as she crumpled, bleeding, to the ground.
"NO!" Kai sat bolt upright with a start, gasping for breath. It was just a dream, he knew that, so why did he feel so guilty?
