Chapter 16: Reflections
I went back down to my room to stare at the drawings. They all had me or Dranzer or both of us. I simply stared at them, then picked up a pen and started signing them. I banged my head on the wall, trying to knock some sense into myself. I actually cares enough to sign the paper, how could I have started caring? After 17 years i start CARING? Two pieces of paper had been stuck together. Prying them apart gently I saw what I was perhaps looking for the whole time. No picture. No 'Your the best Kai', just a black dot. A threat to my life. I took the pictures and went down to the childrens ward.
Opening the door, all motion stopped. No talking. No movement. Everyone stared.
"Give these back to the kids who drew them." I said to the nurse and some talk resumed as kida clamoured for their pictures. I turned to one of the kids and asked them who drew the one left in my hand, the threat. He pointed to someone at the end. I walked up to him but he didnt move, or even acknowledge my prescence in any way. I looked at the pater, and thought for a minute. I wrote 'you'll never get me' on it, then put it in front of him. The kid turned around and looked me full in the eyes. I looked at him and he spoke.
"It's a promise." He said. I searched his eyes, and started to reach out, but stopped myself. This wasnt Kylai. It was like looking at myself in the mirror. That cold glare, was all too familiar. "Stay Away." He warned. A genuine hate for me. What had they done to him? Or more or less, what they taught him to do, programmed him to do. But in an instant that all melted away and i saw a scared kid. He looked to be only 13 when that cover came away. But then he seemed to remember what he was supposed to feel and put away his own feelings. I nodded towards the picture.
"I'd like to see you try." I said making him fuious. I walked out of the hospital, to find myself back in Russia. They must have moved me here for some sort of treatment. I couldnt figure out how I hadnt noticed it before. I shook my head trying to make it all go away. First, I lost Derik, was it too late for Kylai too? I walked past the abbey, on the way to the air-port. The temptation to go in and make them pay for what they had done. But something nagged at me, telling me to wait for the opportune moment. And right now, I had a competition, of sorts to get ready for.
I stepped off the plan, kind of glad to be back in America. The warm sun shining down on my face. It was a definate change since shivering in Russia. I set out about finding Sorrai, Ty, or Lyl. We technically werent supposed to meet till tomorrow, but i needed to talk to them. I found Ty first, but he told me to go away.
"I need to talk to you." I said.
"You left a note and just took off," He replied. "I thought we were friends Matt." He said.
"Yaaaah... that what I needed to talk to you about...," I said then glanced at the mirror. The brown was fading back to blue, other then that i looked like a drowned rat. "My name isnt really Matt.." He cut me off.
"Yah right, you lied to us before, what are you gonna say now? That your Kai Hiwatari?"
