Tears of a Tortured Soul
Chapter 11
Kai's eyes widened as he saw Tala defend his team. Going against Boris was never something anyone at the abbey dared to do. It only brought more punishment. But here was Tala, defying the one man that scared Kai the most besides his grandfather. Kai gave a weak smile. Tala had once said to him that they'd be friends forever but when Kai left Russian for Japan, he was certain that Tala would of forgotten it. But the look in Tala's eyes said it all...he had not forgotten and for that Kai was glad.
"Tala you're attitude is most displeasing. I expected more from you." Said Boris.
The other Demolition Boys stared in shock at their captain. Was it possible they were all brainwashed? For many years the Demolition Boys lived in the darkness of the abbey, being trained to become the best bladders in the world. Pain would come to them if they made a mistake and losing to them was the worst discrimination ever. That was the life they knew. That was the life they'd come accustomed to. This was the life they thought was right.
"Tala!" Ian suddenly shouted. The red-haired boy looked up from where he lay on the ground.
"How can you say we were brainwashed? What do you know! This is the life we live."
"No it's not. We weren't ment to live like this!"
"Silence Tala!" Boris backhanded the boy to the ground once again.
"Tala's right. You don't have to live like this!" said Ray trying to defend the fallen boy. Despite what the Demolition Boys had done to them, all of the Bladebreakers knew no one should live with the pain that each one of them has suffered. After all...Kai was once a member of their team and in his life has gone through so much pain that no boy his age should have to experience.
"Yeah! C'mon I'm sure you guys have to have some happy memories!" Tyson said.
"What makes you so sure?" asked Bryan.
"Who says our lives are fine and dandy like yours?"
"They're not...." Said a weak voice. They all turned to see Kai with his head slightly raised and his eyes struggling to stay open.
"You have to live you're lives in fear...fear that each day one of you might be gone. Fear that pain will come if you make the slightest mistake. You never had the chance to expreiance happiness because all the memories you ever knew were dark. That's the life you live...that's the life I used to live...but I escaped...and found happiness." Kai's eyes diverted to Ray.
"You can find it to...escape this pain."
"Shut up!" Boris shouted, turning around he kicked Kai hard in the ribs.
"Kai!" everyone shouted. He fell lifelessly to the ground clutching his stomach. His eyes slid shut and darkness engulfed his mind. Ray's eyes widened in a panic.
'Kai no.' He realized that Kai was more injured than any of them thought.
'We have to get him out of here.' He thought.
"Remember our past...how we used to play together when were young. Remember when you first came to the abbey...after Kai and I were already there..." Tala said desperately trying to get his teammates to remember....
Flashback
Two months...that's how long it had been since Tala had joined Kai in the abbey. They had become best friends. They were the only company that each other had. Until one day...their tired eyes shot open as the door to their prison was opened and three young boys were thrown in. The door slammed shut and the guards walked away.
"Darn guards..." one them muttered. He had purple hair and a nose that looked bigger than his face.
"Who are you guys?" Tala asked. The new one's jumped in fright, not realizing that there were other's in the cell with them. The one with the big nose looked at him.
"I'm Ian." He said. The one with the blond hair looked up.
"I am Spencer."
"Bryan." Said the last one who had silvery purple hair.
"I'm Tala." He said. Kai looked from where he sat.
"I'm Kai."
The thee boys gave a small smile.
"Nice to meet you...but what are you doing here?" Ian asked.
"We've been here for a while..." said Tala grimly.
"How long?" asked Spencer.
"Me about two months...but Kai..." the red head paused to look at the crimson eyed boy. He only shrugged.
"A few years." He said. The other's eyes widened in shock.
"Years? You mean...we could be here that long too?" Ian said shocked.
"Yeah..." Kai replied.
"What about my family? What do you think happened to them?" asked Ian. It seemed that Ian was the most talkative one of the bunch. Spencer and Bryan had barley said a word since they're arrivel.
"How did they capture you?" asked Kai.
"I was walking with my mother...and then I was taken away...." he repliled. Kai looked over at the other two.
"Is that how it happened with you guys too?" They nodded.
"It's likely...that you're family's been killed." All eyes were wide once again.
"Killed...." Ian muttered sinking to the ground. The other's head's dropped as well in fear of the fate of their families. After many years the answers of their questions have yet to be answered.
End Flashback
"Back then you cared...you had feelings like normal human beings. Look what's become of you now." Tala's voice was almost cold but his eyes showed a slight worry for his team.
"Tala..." Ian muttered. Tala rose to his feet only to get knocked down again by Boris.
"Silence all of you! You will all do as I say! No questions asked! Or you will be punished!" Boris bent down and pulled Tala up by his shirt collar.
"Get you're hands off me you bastard!" he shouted kicking the elder man's legs. Startled Boris dropped him to the ground. Tala stood quickly and took a few steps away from the man he'd now come to hate.
"Tala's right! All you did was torture us!" said Ian.
"He's right..." Spencer muttered. Bryan's eyes just diverted to the ground but they never lost the cold stare he'd grown to use.
'They're finally coming to their senses...' Ray thought. He looked at Kai who lay uncocious on the floor behind Boris. He wanted to badly to run to him and take him in his arms and tell him it would all be alright but he knew he couldn't. He would only put Kai in more danger than he was already in.
"You shit! Tala don't you dare try to turn this team agaisnt me! You're betrayl will already cause you a severe punishment!" Boris raised his hand to strike Tala once again but the door swung open and an all too familiar voice ran through the room.
"What is going on in here!"
A.N: I know I'm evil! LoL I had to leave it there for now! But I'm sure you all can guess who it is. Anyway let me know what you think and if you want it continued! Ja ne!
