Monday morning. The sky way greyed by the heavy cloud cover, and the warmth of the sticky air was clingy and irritating. The teachers droned on like bees, constantly buzzing on about something, Kai merely sat, gazing absently out of the window. He had informed Tala of his plans, his red headed friend was delighted, delighted that their 'prank' was finally becoming a reality.
However, Kai no longer saw it such. It wasn't a 'prank', not anymore. It was far more serious than that to him. It was his way of proving that the storm of emotions that thundered within him, were wrong, and that his affection was mere pity. If he could do this, it meant that his pride would remain intact and that his one 'weakness' would no longer be considered as such.
But, despite that, he had avoided her like the plague, he didn't want to see her, for fear that if he did his conscience would kick in, which would be disastrous.
To his surprise, she seemed to be doing the same, he was unsure to why this was, in one of his classes, when she usually sat directly in front of him, she sat over the other side of the room with Ray, another surprise was, that neither Mariah or Emily had spoken a word to him about the kiss.
Hael of course, had been planning on telling her friends, a girl's first kiss was information that should be shared, but, she had not even told her family. She was unsure why, but it didn't seem like just a kiss to her. It was too private, too personal for her to share, she truly cherished that moment, and she wanted to keep it to herself.
She knew Kai's pride to be his strongest virtue, no one ever questioned it, his pride came before everything else, and she knew that he would not thank her for making it common knowledge that he had kissed her, also she did not want to do anything rash or foolish in his presence that may damage his reputation, so she decided to steer clear of him that day, for she would see him later that night anyway.
There was something about the way he had spoken last night:
"I have something really important to show you tomorrow night."
Her body tingled with excitement and anticipation, wondering what it could be to make him speak so seriously. She had had a few crude thoughts, after all those words were quite open ended, leaving what he could be talking about up to her imagination, and the way he had said them could be interpreted as anything. But she quickly shook them off, knowing Kai was not the type to do that kind of thing so soon, after all, she was sure that his actions the night before had taken him as much by surprise as it had her.
She was lost in her own world, and didn't even seem to realise that the bell had rung, Ray had to poke her a few times before she snapped out of her trance and packed her things away.
The day had gone exceedingly slowly for her, she wanted it to end so she could be ready for Kai. She had decided that she was going to go all out to look her best him. She had arranged with Mariah to go to the beauty salon after school, and she planned on looking drop dead gorgeous.
She was dumping her things in her locker, when that familiar step could be heard; her body seemed to tense as she heard his deep voice, so rich with its growling quality grate harshly in her ear.
"9 o'clock, be ready." It said swiftly, before departing.
Hael sighed.
"You have it really bad." Mariah said next to her.
"Shut up!" She said, feeling her cheeks flush crimson.
Her pink haired friend laughed.
"Cummon Hae, lets go." She said, grabbing her arm and dragging Hael away.
!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!
Hael vowed that she would never, NEVER again go to a salon, her scalp ached from the amount of times a comb had been raked against it, and her hair had been pulled, ever so tightly, into so many different styles that she felt like it would fall out. Mariah had been deaf to her complaints as she scrupulously examined each style the dresser had done, and refused each of them until she settled on the one she liked the most.
She saw worried about smiling, or being patted on the back in case her face fell off, so when Mariah was picking out her outfit she swiftly washed her face. Of course, this sent her friend into a rage, but not such a serious enough one for her not to re-make her friend's face, but with a less layers.
Eventually, when her pink haired friend was satisfied, Hael had to admit, that she liked the way she felt, despite the fact she could not see.
Her hair had been curled and hung in perfect ringlets which framed her face and tumbled down to her shoulder blades, and her light makeup was subtle and accentuated her face perfectly.
Mariah had selected a dress for her to wear, seeing as she had only ever worn a dress once with Kai, on their first 'date', and felt it was time for another. It was a beautiful, rice, peacock blue. It hugged her hips and breasts and reached the floor, supported by two think straps, her shoes were elegant sandals of the same colour. To complete the image, there was a small jacket of light material to cover her shoulders.
"You have never looked better!" Mariah squealed happily as her friend twirled for her.
"I feel great!" She sighed happily, wondering silently what Kai would think of her appearance.
"Cummon, I bet your mum wants to see you." Mariah said, grabbing her friend and dragging her out. Of course, her mother was delighted, and insisted on taking photographs, but Hael could almost feel her brother's disapproval.
"Don't you like it Dane?" She asked, she wanted her brother's support.
He frowned.
"Yes, I do, but I don't see why your dressing up for that low life." He said, clearly less than happy with the situation. Hael frowned and placed her hands on her hips.
"Kai isn't a low life, Dane, he's a nice guy, you're just not giving him a chance!" she snapped.
"Damned right I'm not." He growled.
He could tell his sister was about to reply, but the door bell halted the stream of insults she was about to throw at him. Dane stalked over to the door and threw it open, narrowing his eyes at the expected teen.
"I swear if you hurt her in any way, you're going to regret it." He hissed, so even Hael couldn't pick up what was said.
Kai didn't reply he just narrowed his eyes and grunted in response, he couldn't reply, for the accusation Dane was threatening him with was the exact one he had come here to fulfil. However, when his eyes fell on her, she literally took his breath away. Her flawless body flaunted beautifully, yet subtly in the exquisite dress.
Dane glared at Kai in heavy disapproval as he saw his crimson eyes rake in the image of his little sister. He growled before turning and stalking away. Hael sighed as she felt her brother's anger; she wanted him to be happy for her. She could sense something big was going to happen tonight, and her heart was racing, she didn't know what it was, but she was greatly looking forward to it with a tingling nervousness.
After Kai had shaken himself out of the slight daze she had put him in, he grew angry at himself for allowing her to affect him like that.
"Ok, lets go." He said bluntly, leading the way to the car. Hael happily followed him and slid into the seat beside him.
Kai didn't look at her, her light mood and seemingly innocent nature tonight was very badly timed, how could he leave such a delicate and vulnerable creature to herself down those mines....No! He had to, to prove to himself, to prove that he wasn't weak...
There was no point delaying, he decided the longer he stayed in her presence, the harder it was going to be, so he roared away at a frightening speed, heading to the outskirts of the town.
"Kai, what's this really important thing you have to show me?" She asked.
""You'll find out." Was all her said in response.
Hael fell into silence, it was clear from his voice he was not going to tell her, and the suspense was killing her. She settled with twirling her fingers idly in her lap, feeling the car's engine press her back into her seat.
It was no more than a ten minuet journey, she felt the car slow and finally shut down.
"Get out." Her host said shortly. Hael sighed, wondering how she could fall for such a guy, but obeyed him.
She frowned, she didn't recognise any of the sounds or smells of this place, she could pick up the faint scent of oil, and a musty scent, possibly carbon.....or coal.
"Where are we?" She asked.
"I can't tell you that yet," he said awkwardly, "It's a ....a surprise."
Kai looked at the strip of cloth Tala had insisted on him covering their subject's eyes with.....but there was no point, it would make no difference. However, how could he stand to have those eyes.... Unseeing and unknowing, boring into his own? He sighed.
"Hold still." He grunted at her.
Hael felt him tie something around her eyes. She laughed.
"Kai, I really don't think I need a blindfold." She said, but made no move to remove it.
"Yeah well...." He said, trailing off, unable to voice a reason to go with his actions, however she made no move to remove it.
"Alright then, lead on Kai." She said, stretching out her hands for him to guide her.
Gingerly he took them, and tugged her gently towards the entrance to the mine shaft; a metal cage-like elevator that ran down into what seemed to be the very bowels of the earth.
As they neared the edge of the chasm, Hael felt her chest involuntarily tightened, and she felt the updraft of cold air, she paused for a moment, but only for a moment, as Kai's reassuring presence urged her on.
He felt her grip constrict marginally around his palm, but pulled her on, he couldn't afford to pause even for a second, if he did, then he knew he would back out.
He led her into the elevator, and released her to get it working, it took him a moment since it was old and disused, but eventually it creaked unsteadily and started to descend into the blackness below them. Kai almost felt like he was slowly being swallowed by some titanic creature, and that he was falling down it's throat, perhaps it was a mercy that she was blind at this moment.
By the time they reached the bottom, it was very cold, it was deeper than Kai had thought, and he lit a flashlight he had brought with him so he could see, and then began to lead her again.
Hael, despite her optimistic outlook, and confidence in Kai, was starting to get a little nervous, only his warm hand smothering hers kept her going, the chill had brought her out in goose pimples.
"Where are we Kai?" She said in a whisper.
"It's a surprise." He replied.
Hael didn't know what kind of surprise could be hidden down in a place like this, for it was obvious they had been lowered a very long way..... perhaps it was some kind of underground club...
After a few minuets of guiding her through the maze of tunnels Kai stopped, if he went any further he may not even be able to find his way out. This was it. He turned to her.
"Do you trust me?" He asked her, hating himself for asking such a question prior to what he was about to do.
She nodded without hesitation.
"Yes Kai."
"Good.....I'll be right back." He said, although he could barely conceal the lying quality in his voice. He gazed at her for a second, then, leaned forward and quickly pressed his lips to hers, shame flooding him. Then, he pulled away from her, turned and ran. He ran back up the tunnel and towards the elevator.
Hael frowned in confusion, why would he run off like that? She waited for a moment, hearing his footsteps fade.
"Kai?" She called out, expecting an answer......the was none.
"Kai?!" She called again, her voice a little higher.
Kai reached the shaft, and climbed into the mesh cage which would carry him out of this place. He winced as, faintly, he heard her voice calling him, in confusion.
Far off in the distance she head the unmistakable sound of the lift being operated, and knew Kai was on it, and she also knew that he wasn't coming back.
"KAI !" She screamed. She reached up, tearing the cloth from around her eyes, it made no difference of course. She threw her hands out blindly, and reached out, touching the cold side of the wall. Tears streamed from her sightless eyes, her voice echoing in the small tunnel, bewildering her.
Where was she?
Which way should she go?
Why had he done this?
She could still feel the warmth of his lips against hers.
She felt panic rising in her chest, her arms flailed around uselessly, trying, searching for a way out. The coldness down here was getting to her, she felt sick and terrified.
Kai breathed in the clean, fresh night air. Being out of that hole was wonderful, he turned and walked to his car.
"KAI !" It was very, very faint, but he heard it, and he stopped. He didn't look back, but he clenched his fists and closed his eyes. It wasn't too late, he could go back, he could take her out of there, save her...... No! Not now, not after taking her down there, not after the battle of emotions he had waged to be able to leave her there....no!
He scowled and got into his car, the engine drowning out any more of her cries which may have reached him. He hung his head in total shame for a second, before squaring his shoulders, and driving away.
"Kai! Help me!" She screamed out loudly.... Too loudly, her sensitive ears picked up the faintest of rumbles. She sobbed, he was gone, she didn't know how to get out...... she was going to die down here.
She was such a fool, how could she be so.... So blind?! How could she not see his true intensions. But the kiss...... it was so passionate, and sad somehow, and so truthful. How could she fall for such a lie?
She slumped forwards onto her knees, defeat flooding her, perhaps she wouldn't have given up if she had known how close to the exit she was....but in her state of hysteria and terror, she had no idea.
"KAI!" She called again, willing him to come back....but he didn't.
She cried, alone, and cold in the dark.
