Chapter 2
"This is all so confusing"said Kari hopelessly.
"Just calm down Chrissy, we just have to keep going over this"said Mimi.
"This is harder then I thought"said Kari.
Teaching Kari the basics of human socialism had been a field day. She just couldn't
seem to "get with it" All these things to remember, all these slang words and phrases,
it overwheled her. Why did life have to be so complicated?
Rei sighed, he didn't do much better at teaching Kari, in fact he was worse then Mimi.
"I'm sorry, maybe I should just, stay in my room"
"C'mon Chrissy, you can do this, it's almost time for dinner now, so you should
keep quiet, otherwise you could end up getting yourself into some serious shit"
"Shit?"asked Kari.
"Don't repeat that word to anyone else"said Mimi.
"How come?"
"This is gonna take awhile"said Rei walking out.
Mimi's room was more or less a duplicate of hers. All of the rooms she saw walking
by were pretty much the same. Kari just figured this was normal custom and not to speak
of it. She was led down by Rei, with Mimi in front. Kari gulped when she saw all the kids
at the table.
"Don't worry, they usualy ignore the new kids for awhile"said Rei.
Kari was led to an empty seat, where she promptly sat down. Tomato soup was passed out to
all of them. Kari stared at it, then watched everyone else eat. She studied them carefuly,
most of them were using spoons to sip the soup little by little, while others played around with it.
Kari stared at her soup once again, then wearily picked up her spoon. She dipped it in, her hand
trembling from fear. She looked at the other kids as she stuck the spoon in her mouth. Now what?
The soup went down her throat quickly, clogging in her throat. Kari coughed violently, gathering much
attention.
"Are you allright Chrissy?"asked Mimi.
Kari instinctively smashed her chest, feeling the source of it from there. Suprisingly, at
least for her, it worked. She wiped what little bit fell on her lip, not to look good but because
it wasn't comfortable for her chin.
"Oh no, we never taught Chrissy how to eat"thought Mimi.
"Are you okay?"asked Mrs Manerts.
"Yes"said Kari sitting back down.
After the attention died down Kari watched closely as they ate. She saw a gulp going
down one kid's throat. Is that how you did it? Nervously Kari picked the spoon back up,
took a sip, and gulped. She sighed, it worked.
She was able to go through the rest of the dinner without attracting attention. Kari was led
back up to Mimi's room along with Rei. They went over it again and again. It seemed to be coming
a little easier to Kari, like learning a foreign language.
After a little more practice, Kari seemed to be getting it. It was time for bed, so Mrs Manerts
led Kari back to her bedroom.
"I see you've made some new friends"said Mrs Manerts.
"Friends? Oh, you mean Mimi and Rei"
"Those two were always good friends, looks like they have a trio now. Did you enjoy your
first day?"
"Yeah, but this is kinda hard for me"
"Yes, it will take time to adjust. Whether you ever gain back your memory
or not I don't know, but know you'll always be welcome here"said Mrs Manerts.
Kari tried to remember what to say, thinking hard.
"Your welcome"
"Huh?"
"Did I say it wrong?"
Mrs Manerts laughed.
"It's Thank you. But it's a start. Goodnight"
The light was turned off, and the door closed. Kari soon drifted off into
a deep sleep. She slept peacefuly for a few hours until she awoke to a hand
wrapping around her face. She was pulled into a thick Brown bag and carried
off.
"What's going on out there?"asked Kari in a voice that felt muffled.
She felt the lack of air begin to take over, trying to kick through the bag did no good.
Kari hit the ground painfuly a few times though she felt no blood come out of her. After
what seemed like hours to Kari, she was dumped out of the bag. Since it was dark out,
she didn't have to adjust her eyes.
Standing around her were all the children from the orphanage. She gasped, was this a normal
thing? Or did she do something wrong? Her panick rose when she couldn't find either Mimi or Rei.
All of them stared down at her, and she couldn't find the courage to speak.
To help break the tension a little, one of them(a boy) finally spoke:
"Calm down kid, we're not gonna hurt ya, not if you make it"
"Huh?"thought Kari.
"Your name's Chrissy, right?"asked a girl.
Kari nodded, now more curious then frightened.
The boy continued.
"This is Initiation"
"Initia,tion?"
"Yeah, if you want to be accepted as one of us you gotta go through it. We
like to mix it up with every kid, though sometimes there's a repeat performance.
You stay here while we discuss what your initiation is"
The boy walked over with the others and they all talked, some yelling out ideas,
others putting them down. Kari didn't pay attention, rather she admired the outside.
The sky, the buildings, the clouds, although she didn't know what they were, she still
admired it.
She was snapped out of it by a tap on the shoulder. She turned around to face the kids.
The boy from before walked up to her.
"For your initiation, the first thing you have to do is strip naked"
"N,naked?"asked Kari.
"Yeah, you know, no clothes, not even your underwear"
Kari didn't know why, but she felt scared about having to expose her body to them.
It was more subconcious, though she felt the butterflies in her stomach, Kari had
no idea why she had them. Was this normal practice? She gulped, she didn't want enemies.
She stripped as asked, feeling more nervous with every bit of clothing she took off. The kids pointed
and laughed at first. Kari remembered that meant she either did something funny or had been embaresed.
She began to blush, and once again didn't know what it was or why.
So deep in thought, it was of no suprise she was unable to react in time as four girls tackled
her to the ground and held her arms and legs down. She instinctively tried to pull her arms free
however the grip was too tight.
"T.K, are you out of your fucking mind!"said Davis.
They were in the hallway next to T.K's locker. The hallways were so noisy no one
really heared him.
"You actualy broke Cody out of Juvy AND want him to help you find Kari? Kari must be
driving you insane"said Davis.
"What else is there to do? The cops are trying but they can't find her and are ready to
declare her dead soon enough. Cody's an expert in kidnapping, he has a chance"
"What makes you think she was kidnapped? We saw her runaway"
"Yeah and she might've been caught on the way"said T.K.
"What makes you think Cody won't just kidnap her again?"
"He wouldn't risk it, he would get caught by the cops"
The bell ring for homeroom classes. The two walked away without another
word. Yolie saw T.K walking by and waved hi, however T.K wasn't paying attention
and gave her no response at all.
"Rude much"said Yolie with a hmph walking away as well.
As he went into homeroom, he couldn't help but keep thinking about his dreams.
He couldn't get himself to stop dreaming about her, and the dreams were usualy
very dirty, S&M and such. Was he a dirty son of a bitch? That's what he called himself
after awakening.
T.K was much more of a nervous wreck. Would Kari ever come back? Why must he and Davis fight
like this? Would he end up screwing up in the next game which was but a few weeks away?
More importantly, why did he have to have all this pressure on him?
The only good thing that came out of it is that Tai and his aunt and uncle got their things
back since the ransom backfired. But that didn't ease the pressure much for him.
Yolie was swept away with guilt. All of this happened because of her. If she hadn't instantly
blamed Kari for the day her jewlery was stolen without a second thought, none of this would
have ever happened. Kari would be living a normal life. Sure, she saved her from that psychopath
Ken but she was fooling herself if that made up for what she did. Besides, Ken may not have killed
her.
Yolie was also worried about the fact that Ken had still not been seen by anyone. No news report
of him being captured had turned up on the news or any newspaper. What if he got to Kari? What if he
was coming after her? Did he happen to see her?
Everyone else had for the most part forgotten about Kari comepletely. Sure, she may have been
brought up once or twice, but they never talked much about it.
Tai was pretty much twice as broken up as T.K about Kari's dissapearance. He couldn't
even sleep and it was noticeable.
What was goign on? Kari awoke to someone yelling. She was too groggy to make out what was
being said, however she reconized the voice as Mimi's. She heared footsteps coming her way.
The door swung wide open, with Mimi dashing and kneeling to Kari's side.
Kari then remembered what had happened the night before, and shuddered. She noticed her clothes were
back on, her clothes being dirty and wrinkled, bruises all over her body.
"Oh no"she thought throwing her head back.
"Chrissy, are you okay? What did they do to you?"asked Mimi.
Kari didn't awnser at first, rather she let the tears of fear building up behind her eyes come out.
Mimi kept shaking her and asking her what had happened.
"Well?"asked Mimi.
"I-I-I don't know"said Kari.
"Explain what happened to me in detail then"said Mimi.
Kari gulped, instinctively wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Well, they, they asked to to take all my clothes off-
"You did!"gasped Mimi.
Kari nodded.
"Okay, go on"
"After I did it, they got me on the ground and held me down. One of them
sat on me and did something, some stiff thing from his body stuck into this
area"said Kari pointing to her vagina.
"Oh good God!"gasped Mimi, hands covering her mouth.
She too noticed the bruises on her body.
"Then they beat you?"
Kari nodded.
"I started to have water come out of my eyes and make
noises, so they started hitting and kicking me really
hard. They were laughing, then they stuffed something in my
mouth and I couldn't talk. I, it was-
Mimi hugged Kari closely and sshed her. Kari let more tears come out.
"It's okay Chrissy, I'll tell Mrs Manerts what they did, they'll
never try anything like that again"
"It was the older kids, I know it"thought Mimi.
There was laughter heared at the doorway, it was the same kids who put
Kari through initiation. Kari wasn't able to tell at night, but she could
tell they were older and reconized the voices easily.
"You scumbags!"yelled Mimi standing up.
"What, she wanted to fit in"said the boy from before.
He was apprently the leader of the bunch.
"Haven't you done enough damage? It's because of you Sora ran away"
"Who?"asked Kari.
"What you did to Chrissy is the most vile thing I've ever heared in my life.
I've kept my mouth shut for long enough, I was stupid enough to let Sora slide by,
but not Chrissy, I'm telling Mrs Manerts as soon as she comes back"said Mimi.
The boy just laughed.
"Not if we keep you quiet. We're taking you outta here"
"Try it"said Mimi.
"It'll be easy, we'll just say you kidnapped Chrissy and ran away"
"You would go as far as to murder us?"asked Mimi.
"Nah, you ain't worth killing, we'll just take you somewhere where you won't
be coming back. Let's hurry it up, we're taking them for a ride"
The kids all closed in on the two. THere were about six girls and five boys, excluding
the leader who just stood and watched. They were all close to Mimi's age. Mimi stepped
back, there was no way out.
