Hey everyone!
Thanks for the reviews! Sorry to leave you all with such a boring chapter last time, but it was needed to make the story more clear...I guess.
I've been drawing more than anything else recently, and decided I really needed to start writing again, so sorry for the wait.
Anyway, I put some action in this chapter, with the appearance of the enemy! I'm sure you can all guess who it is...if you haven't already. I also put a Kai/Hil moment in here :-D Hope you enjoy!
"Hilary...." A deep, masculine voice said softly.
The brunette's ruby eyes flickered open slowly to be greeted with a pair of crimson orbs, staring down at her.
Locks of blue hair lightly touched her forehead, tickling her skin slightly.
"Hilary...." He said again.
"Kai!" She exclaimed, blushing slightly. A large grin grew on her face as the handsome teen gazed down on her.
The brunette raised up slightly, they're faces drawing closer and closer with each passing second.
"Hilary....." His voice came again, this time, his image began to distort slightly.
"Oh Kai...." She mumbled in her sleep.
"Hilary...snap out of it!" Kai said, slapping her cheek gently.
The brunette gasped, fully awake now. She sat up straight and looked around her room, somewhat confused.
"Kai? Wha..."
The blue haired teen covered her mouth with his hand, placing a finger on his lips. "Shh....stay quiet."
Hilary nodded and he removed his hand. "What's going on?" She whispered.
"We have company...." He replied. "Where's Lena? We have to get out of here."
"She's spending the night at a friend's house....why? What's wrong?"
Kai sighed. "Good...she'll be safe." He threw some clothes on the bed in front of Hilary. "Get dressed quickly."
Hilary nodded and slid out of her warm bed, signaling Kai to turn away. "Kai...you better tell me what's going on!"
"Shhh! They've come for me...I knew I shouldn't have stayed here..." There was a small crash outside and some cursing, drawing both teen's gaze to the window. "Hurry! They're getting closer!"
Hilary threw on the rest of her clothes and walked over to Kai, who was poking his head out into the hallway.
"Ok....stay close to me." He grabbed her arm and swiftly moved through the hallway and down the stairs.
Hilary gasped as they stepped over an unconscious body, blood trickling down the side of his mouth. A bloody knife lay beside him, and the brunette looked up toward Kai, seeing that a large cut had appeared on his cheek.
"Kai...."
"Shh....stay silent." He quickly replied.
Suddenly, he growled and pulled Hilary down behind the couch.
"What happened here?" A voice said in a foreign language.
"He's here...that's for sure...have you found him yet?" Another voice asked.
"No sir...Kai couldn't have gotten far."
Hilary gasped as she heard Kai's name in the mix of foreign words.
The men heard it, and they're attention was immediately drawn to the couch.
Kai cursed and jumped up, snatching Hilary in his arms and darting for the back door.
"There he is! Quick! Shoot him! Shoot him!"
Bullets shot past the teen's head and around his bare feet as he neared the door. Suddenly, a man dressed in black appeared in front of the exit, preparing to tackle the escaping teens.
"Oh no!" Hilary screamed, but Kai didn't slow down.
The man shouted something as Kai's foot contacted with his chest, sending him backward against the door and knocking it clear off it's hinges.
The blue haired teen jumped off the unconscious man and ran off into the night air. The streets were barren of any life, and only a small amount of light flickered from an old street lamp. Kai sat Hilary down on a bench and collapsed down beside her, wincing as pain shot up through his leg.
"Kai....who were those people?"
"I think....they were the ones....who brought my plane down...." The blue haired teen replied after a moment.
Hilary gasped. "Oh no! Your leg!"
Blood was dripping down onto the sidewalk slowly and a large stain had once again formed on the material of his pants.
Kai cursed...the blood was going to leave a trail and lead those men right to them.
Before he could do anything, Hilary had ripped off the end of her shirt and was securing it tightly around his thigh. "We really should get you to a hospital. This wound is never going to heal." She said.
Kai started to reply, but smirked at the brunette instead. "Hey..." He started as she began to sniffle. He grabbed her chin and lifted her head so they could look eye to eye. "Why are you crying?"
She looked up at him, tears running freely down her face. She wanted to tell him how she really felt, right then and there, but the words weren't coming out.
Suddenly, he cupped her face, wiping away the streams of water with his thumbs. The two inched closer together until their noses almost touched.
"Kai..." Hilary murmured, closing her eyes and blushing. This was just like her dreams.
Suddenly, the blue haired teen pressed his lips against hers in a passionate embrace.
After a few moments, the two parted, much to Hilary's disappointment, as yelling was heard close by.
Kai was on his feet in the blink of an eye, his eyes narrowing at the figures in the distance.
"They've caught up...can you run?" Hilary nodded, jumped off the bench and started to run as fast as she could.
The two came to an intersection and were about to dart across when suddenly, a black van appeared in front of them, cutting them off. The side door opened, revealing a man with a shot gun, aimed directly at Kai.
The blue haired teen cursed and jumped onto the top of the van's roof, carrying Hilary behind him. He swung her off her feet and leap through the air once again, this time landing on a nearby fire escape. "Climb!" Kai commanded, pushing her up the latter.
"How did you...." Hilary started, noticing the length and height the teen had just jumped. "Less talk, more climbing!" Kai shouted as the man fired his shot gun at them, the bullets narrowly missing.
As the two climbed onto the roof, their pursuers were close on their heals. Hilary skidded to a stop as she reached the edge of the building. She felt dizzy just looking down at the ground below them. Suddenly, she felt two arms pull her off the ground and whisk her away to the left, toward the back of the building.
"Kai! You can't be serious! We'll die!" She shouted as the blue haired teen ran toward the end of the roof, showing no sign of slowing down.
"Trust me...okay?"
Hilary gasped, but nodded after a few moments.
Kai came to the end of the roof and leapt off just before the men reached the top. Hilary screamed as they fell through the air, closing in on the ground faster and faster. A hollow crunch was heard as Kai landed upright on the ground. He swiftly moved behind a nearby dumpster and squatted on his haunches, Hilary in his lap.
The brunette snuggled closer to him, trembling in fear. Kai kept his gaze to the side of the dumpster, watching for their pursuers.
"Where did he go!" Someone demanded.
"He just disappeared!" A man replied.
"What do you mean?!" The voice yelled loudly.
"We...we can't find him!"
"Boris will have our heads for this one...."
Hilary felt Kai tense at that name. She looked up at him, but his face held no emotion.
Suddenly, a black van pulled up to the sidewalk, it's doors sliding open as a single man stepped out.
"Well?" His dark voice started.
"Sir....he...uh.....he escaped."
The man chuckled, walking into the alley.
Both of the teens tensed up as his footsteps got closer. Kai pulled Hilary closer to his body, trying to reassure her that everything would be alright.
Suddenly, he stopped, inches from the dumpster. He looked around for a moment before turning and walking back to the van.
"I want him found! Search the entire city! He must not warn the others!" With that, the door slammed shut and the van took off, squealing as the tires burned into the asphalt.
After a few moments, Kai heard the remainder of the men take off running in all directions, and let out a long sigh, signaling Hilary to relax.
"They were looking for you!" She said.
"We have to get to Tyson and the others....I remember what I came here for..."Don't forget to review!
