Emotions Vs Power
ch 11
Kaye tossed and turned in her bed. For some reason she couldn't sleep. Then finally, she opened her eyes, gave a sigh of frustration as she laid there and frowned at the ceiling. Kaye just kept staring annoyingly at the ceiling for a few more minutes, and then she threw her covers off and started to get out of bed. Grumbling to herself, Kaye slowly started to walk towards her window. When she got there, Kaye opened it and leaned out, letting the cool night air cool her. As she continued to stare at the night sky, "Katie, I'll get you back my friend, I promise." Kaye vowed.

"I see that you were successful in bringing Wildfire and Halo." Maguyser said as Reann and Katie entered the throne room.
"Of course master, did you have any doubts that I wouldn't?" Reann asked as she bowed.
"No Reann, I had no doubts. Now Katie, I understand that you were not successful on convincing them to join us. Am I correct?" Maguyser asked as he raised an eyebrow at her.
"I'm sorry, master, I..." Katie started to say.
"Silence! I don't want to hear any excuses!" Maguyser yelled angrily.
"Yes master." Katie replied as she quickly bowed.
"You're in luck, my assassin that I have another way to convinces them to join our side." Maguyser said with a smirk as he suddenly made Sage and Ryo appear before them.
"Ryo, are you ok?" Sage asked as he looked over toward him.
"Sage?" Ryo asked in slight confusion. "Yea, I guess so, what about you?"
"If you call this ok, I guess." Sage replied as he motioned to Ryo that their arms were chained to the floor in front of them.
"Wonderful." Ryo said sarcastically.
"Enough!" Maguyser bellowed as he made Sage and Ryo snap their attention forward. "Now, I'm going to give you two an offer, and I believe that it would be in the best interest if you two took it."
"If it's an offer to join you, then you can just forget it!" Ryo shot back.
"Humph, I thought as much. What about you, Halo? What is your answer?" Maguyser asked curiously.
"Forget it! I'm with Ryo, there's nothing that you can say or do to change that!" Sage replied angrily.
"Both of you are rather stubborn, and that's just too bad. It's really too bad that this had to happen for your refusals." Maguyser said as he made an image of the inside of the Koji mansion to appear.
"What are you talking about?" Ryo asked, "what had to happen?"
"Just watch and you'll see for yourself." Maguyser replied as he made the image change to when Kaye was starting to walk in the upstairs hallway.
"What's he going to do?" Sage wondered as he and Ryo continued to watch.
"Dream Walker!" Maguyser said as his eyes glowed.
"Who's there!?" Kaye asked as she quickly looked around.
"Aw, Dream Walker, I'm hurt that you don't remember me." Maguyser taunted with a smirk.
"Where are you!?" Kaye asked as she was starting to definitely not liking this.
"Why, I'm inside of your head." Maguyser replied. "Do you remember when I told you to dream of me?"
Kaye's eyes went wide and then with another quick flash of his eyes, Maguyser flooded Kaye's mind with images and voices of the people that he use to torture. "No, not again!" Kaye exclaimed as she clutched her head and closed her eyes tightly shut as she stumbled around the hallway.
"Stop it, Maguyser! Leave her alone!" Ryo yelled to him.
"R..Ryo?" Kaye asked in slight confusion as she fell back against a wall.
"She heard me?" Ryo asked, "how?"
"Simple, Wildfire, she heard you because of the link that I share telepathically with my little "gift" that I gave her just as your friends got her. You see, I wanted them to find the Dream Walker. Now do you understand?" Maguyser asked with amusement.
"You animal!" Sage yelled at him angrily. "So you're using the fact that you can hurt her to persuade us to join you? Is that it?"
"Not only can I hurt her, Halo, but I can control her anytime that I want." Maguyser replied with a smirk. "Dream Walker, on the back of your head where I struck you, you should feel something embedded. Do you?"
Kaye slowly raised her hand and felt behind her head and touched something with her fingers. Her eyes went wide when she found it. "Yes." Kaye replied quietly.
"Kaye, pull it out!" Sage called to her.
Kaye was about to do what he said, but then, "ah, I wouldn't if I were you, Dream Walker. If you or anyone else tried to
pull it out, then I'm sorry to say that you'll die." Maguyser replied as he stopped her from doing so. "And I wouldn't want that to happen. Well, not until after my plans for you are finished, anyway."
"No." Kaye whispered as she fell to the ground on her knees in defeat, as she covered her face with her hands and started to cry.
Maguyser started to laugh as he made the image disappear. "Now I suggest that you two rethink your answers about my offer." Maguyser said as he made them disappear from his sight.
"Master, do you think that they will join us now?" Reann asked curiously.
"They'll see it my way, but if they don't, then, well, the Dream Walker's blood will be on their hands." Maguyser replied with a smirk.
"No, he can't be serious. I didn't think that he would take it that far. I do want to be with them, but not this way." Katie thought in disbelief.

"Damn it!" Ryo swore angrily as he pulled at the chains, knowing that it was useless.
"Ryo, calm down." Sage replied sternly.
"Sage, how can you be so calm? Especially after what you saw!" Ryo asked as he glared at him.
"Hey, I'm just as furious as you are ok! But this isn't the way." Sage replied as he sat down.
"Yea I know." Ryo said as he too finally sat down.
"So now what?" Sage asked as he glanced over at him.
"I don't know, Sage." Ryo replied as he looked down onto the ground.

Kaye slowly stood up, leaning against the wall as she used it to try and stabilize herself. As soon as she felt stable, she started to walk towards one of the tables that were nearby as tears were still streaming down. Kaye picked up a vase and chucked it hard and fast against the wall, making a very loud crash. The noise of the crashing vase made everyone bolt out of their rooms and into the hallway. "Kaye what's wrong?" Mia asked as she and the others looked towards her in concern.
"Hey, where are Sage and Ryo? I thought that they would run out here too when they heard the crash." Cye asked as he noticed that they weren't there.
"You're right Cye, I would have ran into Sage on the way out, but I didn't." Rowen replied in slight confusion.
"Ryo? Are you in there?" Mia asked as she opened the door. "Guys, Ryo's gone too!"
"Maguyser..." Kaye whispered quietly.
"Kaye, what about Maguyser?" Kento asked in concern.
"He..He has them." Kaye replied.
"Are you sure," Cye asked as he looked towards her. "How do you know?"
"I...I heard them." Kaye replied in a shaky voice.
"You heard them," Rowen asked, "are they all right?"
"I think so." Kaye replied as she was trying to get her composure. "There's something else that you all should know."
"Kaye, what is it?" Mia asked in concern. Kaye gave no verbal reply, instead she pulled back her hair and revealed the thing that was embedded into the back of her head, and then lowered her hair down.
"What is that?" Kento asked.
"It's Maguyser's way of controlling me." Kaye replied as she clutched her hands into fists.
"What!?" they all said at the same time.
"How or when did this happen?" Cye asked with a slight frown.
"When you guys came for me, he plunged some kind of glowing weapon into the back of my head." Kaye explained as she wrapped her arms around herself.
"I'm going to pull it out." Kento said as he reached for it.
"No!" Kaye exclaimed as she quickly backed away from him.
"Kaye, what? Why?" Kento asked confused. "Do you want Maguyser to control you?"
"No, I don't." Kaye replied.
"Then let me pull it out." Kento said.
"Kento, if you, me or anyone else pull this, whatever it is out, then I'll die." Kaye replied as Kento stopped.
"No, he's lying!" Kento said in disbelief.
"Kento, what if he wasn't lying? What if whatever that thing is does get pulled out, then Kaye could die. Do you honestly want to risk it?" Cye asked as he looked over to him.
"No." Kento replied in a defeated tone.
"There's something else." Kaye said.
"You've got to be kidding." Rowen replied as he saw the look in her eyes that she wasn't.
"It looks like for whatever reason, Maguyser wants Ryo and Sage to join him." Kaye said as she lowered her eyes.
"But why?" Mia asked confused.
"Not sure, he didn't exactly say why as he was toying with my mind, as well as my life. I didn't get a chance to ask." Kaye
shot back. Mia back away for a second, Kaye saw this and then she felt guilty because of the way that she yelled at her friend. "I'm sorry, Mia. I didn't mean..."
"It's alright, Kaye." Mia replied with a small smile. Kaye nodded and then sighed.
"There's one more thing , am I right?" Cye asked as he laid a comforting hand onto her shoulder.
"Yea," Kaye replied, "he said that he has plans for me, but he didn't say what they were. God, why did this have to happen? Why?" she whispered as Kaye was starting to cry again. Kento went up to her and brought Kaye into his embrace to try and comfort her the best that he could.
