Chapter 4- Lanara's news
"Let me get this straight," Tyson said an hour of explaining later. "You both escaped from the abby where Tala and his 'team' were trained." Kathern and Lanara nodded. "You both escaped at almost the same time." Tyson continued. "But Kathern went first." Kathern nodded again. "Kathern was outside and Lanara was hidden behind some stairs in a hallway just inside the door when Voltaire and a man from the lab appeared and caused a long delay for her. While Kathern was hidden outside, Tala and Ian came into the courtyard. She had to run or risk being caught and brought back into the abby." Lanara nodded. "When Voltaire and the man were finally done talking and moved off, Kathern was gone." Tyson finished. "You have it all, I think." Kathern said. Lanara nodded. "Thats it. But you make it sound so short after an hour of explaining to make you understand!" Tyson smiled sheepishly.Lanara turned to Kathern. "But I have more news for you. Tala and his team are in this town. You have to be careful, and whatever you do, don't draw attention to yourself!" Kathern was shocked. "They're in this town? So close to home? Do they know that I'm here? Or you?" Lanara shook her head. "They only know that your brother, Kai is here. They have no idea about you or me." Kenny held up his hand. "Is it just me or did you just say that Kai is her brother?" He asked Lanara. Lanara looked at Kathern who had gone white. "You mean you never told them?" She asked. Kathern shook her head. "Oh my god, I am so sorry Kathern! I didn't know you never told them!" Kathern shook her head again. "It's okay Lanara." She said. "It's time I told them anyway." She looked up at the Blade Breakers. They watched her expectantly. "Kai and I are twins. Our grandfather wanted our parents fortune. He killed them for it." Kathern looked away, her eyes filling up. When she looked back they were filled with hate and victory. "But my family knew what he was up to. So, when he killed them all the money went to our aunts and uncles. He killed them off one by one, and they added their fortunes to our parents and it got bigger and bigger. But he never got it. It went through every aunt, uncle, cousin, nephew and relative we had. Now it's just me and Kai. We own it. It's ours." She paused. "And he won't get it!" She hissed.
The Next Day
"Kathern!" Mr. Diamond called. "You've got company!" Kathern groaned and sat up. "Kathern!" Mr. Diamond called again. "I'm up!" She yelled. She stood up and looked around her lime green colored room. The curtains were the color of grass and the carpet was so dark it was almost black. Her bed had deep green sheets and her pillow was so light that you could barely tell it was green. Beside her bed was a nightstand, painted the color of the carpet. On the stand was golden framed picture. Kathern's eyes filled as she stared at it. It showed a handsome man with black hair and brown eyes and a woman with red hair and green eyes. In front of them stood two smiling ten year olds, a boy and a girl. Both had small markings painted on their faces. Kathern stared at the boy. 'He looks so young in this.' She thought to Flamer. 'So do you.' Flamer answered. "Kathern!" Mr. Diamond yelled. Kathern jumped. "Come on! You have company." Kathern pulled on a lime green tank top with a neon pink rose and a pair of green capris. She pulled a jean jacket over her tank top and a pair of sandals on her feet. She crossed her room to her door and pulled it open. She walked across the hall and walked serenely down the stairs. Looking down she saw the Blade Breakers (including Kai) and stopped in her tracks. "What is he doing here?" She asked, her voice echoing around the hall. The Blade Breakers stopped talking and looked up at her. Tyson stepped forward and said tentatively, "Well, after yesterday, we figured you and Kai need to talk." Kathern gave him a peircing look. "Why should I talk to a family traitor like him?" She asked. "Why should I talk to someone who left me to die in burned down house?" Kenny stepped forward. "Kathern, will you just give him a chance?" He asked. Kathern glared. "Answer my question first." She said, her voice dangerously low. "Because he's your brother." Tyson said lamely. Kathern stiffened. "He's no brother of mine." She said. "But Kathern-" Tyson started. "He no brother of mine!" Kathern shouted. "My brother died when he left for the abbey! Now get him out of here! Get him out!" With that she turned to and ran back up the stairs and into her room, slaming the door behind her. She could here the boys talking down in the hall. Then it went quiet. There was a knock on her door. "Kathern?" Tyson asked. "Can we come in?" He sounded uncertain. Kathern's first intention was to say no. But then came a voice in her head. 'Kathern, maybe it's time.' Flamer said. The flaming tiger appeared beside her. "Yes." She said, and sighed. The door opened and the Blade Breakers came in. "Will you talk to him?" Ray asked. Kathern sighed again and nodded. "Tomorrow go to the Black Diamond at 6:00. I'll be there. And I'll pay for dinner." The boys nodded. "Now leave me in peace. And remember at the Black Diamond you have to be dressed formally to get in!"
