S-E: Whoa...am on a roll!
Raven: Indeed...
S-E: This chapter may be confusing but I shall make it as simple as I can.
Yushi: On with the fic!
They dragged Tala through the corridors. But when they got to the corridor where their dorms were, they were surprised.
"What the hell?!" Johnny said loudly, for in it's place the corridor was lined with many different coloured doors.
"One for every person" Oliver mused quietly. "If I'm right, this one should be Tala's room" he pointed to a white door on the right hand side of the corridor. The door opposite it was jet black. Hannah's room.
They went through the white door into a light filled room, the satin covers on the bed were white and the walls. But it was decorated just like his part of his dorm. All of his posters tacked onto the walls, clothes scattered everywhere. They laid the teen on the bed and the boys were ushered out by Hilary, Emily and Yushi. Mariah and Raven went out with the boys and left the other three to see to Tala's wounds.
They all stood in silence outside the room, waiting for the girls to finish, so they could question Tala some more. Until Raven broke the silence.
"Who knew she was with Tala?" she frowned at the lack of answers. "Why didn't she tell anyone?"
"She's never been a very open person" Michael mused.
"She should have told us about this!" Mariah thundered.
"I think she was afraid we would hate her for her decision" Oliver said softly.
"No we wouldn't! We would've stood by her whatever her choice" Riah screeched.
Kai had been silent throughout this. He looked up when raven spoke.
"Hannah's powers have fully awoken" she said softly.
"How do you know this?" Kai asked quietly, lifting his head to gaze at her with those crimson eyes.
"Didn't you see her eyes?" she asked, looking at Kai as though he'd sprouted an extra head.
Kai thought back to that time in the clearing, when Hannah had touched his hand for a brief moment, he'd felt something, something different about her. "Her eyes looked dull and lifeless" he said dumbly, "But I felt something different"
"No behind her eyes, didn't you see the energy gathering there? Didn't you see the darkness?" she cried, "She's in danger at this time, she doesn't know how to control her power. If she's tries to use it, she could harm herself greatly!"
Kai pushed himself off the wall and had seized her by the shoulders, "What do you mean?! What have you remembered?!" he asked desperately.
"I-I had a dream last night" she stuttered, "I know how to train you to use your powers. I have remembered much since I came here"
They were interrupted by Robert, "Remembered? What haven't you told us Raven" he asked angrily.
Raven looked at Kai and then back to Robert. "I guess it had to come out sooner or later" she said with a sigh. "I wasn't just a new student here, I woke up in the forest a few months ago, with no memory at all. Kai found me and brought me here, I'm sorry to have lied to you all, but how could I tell you something I didn't know myself"
She relayed her story to her friends, who listened with awe and shock, even anger.
"Why didn't you tell us Raven?" Mariah asked sadly.
"I-I don't know"
"Is Raven even your real name?" This came from Tyson, he sounded angry at being left in the dark for so long.
"I don't know, it's just a name that Kai gave me"
Before they could continue any longer Yushi burst through the door. "You gotta see this!" she panted and rushed back inside, closely followed by the 17 other bladers. There was a huge intake of breathy as they saw what was happening in the room.
Tala was thrashing around in the bed, his eyes were open and two soft beams of light were pouring out of them. He opened his mouth and light poured out of there too, it looked like he was exploding with power.
"This is not good!" Raven said, wide eyed with fear, "This means that Hannah's going through the same thing, and we need the opposite of his power to stop this!" fear sounded in her voice.
"That would be Hannah wouldn't it?" Rei asked stupidly
"Uh guys!" Mariah's voice broke through with urgency, she was looking at Lee with wide eyes. His hands had suddenly become surround by a pulsing dark shadow.
"Or me" Lee's voice said shakily, he walked over to Raven and placed his hands upon her shoulders. "tell me what to do" he said solemnly. She nodded and led his to the foot of Tala's bed.
"Somebody hold him down" she said, smiling as Gary took hold of the red heads ankles and Steve and Eddy pinned each of his arms down.
"Hold your hands above him and concentrate. Focus all of your energy and imagine pouring it into him"
He complied and did as she asked, he closed his eyes and the pulsing grew stronger, but he could not force it any further. A loud noise filled the room and a wind picked up from nowhere, blowing papers off the desk and pushing against everyone.
"Concentrate Lee!" Raven yelled over the roaring noise, "You must!"
Letting out a yell, he forced the orb of dark energy from his hands and it sped away from him, slamming into Tala's chest. A few moments passed and Tala's seizure died away and he appeared to be asleep once more. But what was more, every one of his wounds had sealed. This was definitely getting weird.
"Whoa" said Lee in awe as he looked at his hands, before falling backwards against Gary, collapsed from exhaustion.
Elsewhere
"What's happening to her?!" Bryan's voice came out in a panic as he watched the tiny girl thrash around on the huge black satin covered bed. She had been sleeping soundly moments ago and now she was having a fit, her back arched and her mouth open, halfway through a cry.
"She's experiencing a surge of power, Bryan, it's nothing to worry about" a low, evil sounding voice said. "I suspected this would happen as she has been taken away from her friends, I am pleased that you did it so quickly anyway"
"Thank you, Sir" Bryan bowed to the shadow wreathed man.
He turned back to Hannah, after a few moments she slowed and her body fell back against the soft covers. The strange man had lied, it was not just a surge of power, but little did Bryan know this. Neither did he know that Lee had just saved her life.
Smiling to himself, he slid into the bed next to the girl and wrapped his arms around her unknowing body, drawing her close to him. Life was sweet, he thought to himself as he submitted himself to sleep.
In The Morning
Bryan awoke the next day to find his arms empty. Sitting up quickly he cast desperate looks around him, letting out a sigh of relief when he discovered that she had not gone far.
She was sat curled up in a big soft armchair in front of the open fire in his new room. Her cheeks showed signs of recent tears as she stared unto the heart of the fire. Her skin looked paler than usual and her posture drooped terribly. The bite mark on her neck, which he had placed there himself, stood out against her skin like a smear of purple paint.
"Good morning love" he smiled as he wrapped his arms around her small frame, frowning when she just stood up and walked away from him. "What's good about it?" she said forlornly, she was suffering a major headache, as well as great heartache.
"You're not still sore about last night are you?" he asked dumbly
"What do you think?!" she snapped, "it's your fault I'm here!"
"Hey you came to me willingly" he raised his hands above his head defensively.
"It was either that or let him die!" she nearly shouted, speaking of him brought fresh tears to her eyes. 'No!' she thought furiously, 'He will not see me cry!' But it did no good as the fat salty droplets coursed down her face.
"Don't cry love, you have me now" his voice whispered in her ear.
"I don't want you!" she cried angrily, "I don't want to be here!"
He merely smirked at her, "Well, I'm afraid you don't have much choice in the matter, seeing as you can't leave this room"
"We'll see!" she spat and marched over to the door, flinging it open. She was about to walk through it when a force pushed against her. She slammed her hand against the space in front of her. She watched as the impact rippled across the surface of it, distorting the view through the door.
"Don't say I didn't warn you" Bryan chuckled from behind her, he was lounging in the armchair, one leg dangling lazily over the arm.
"Come here" he commanded, patting his lap, gesturing for her to sit. She shook her head furiously, earning a scowl from the lavender haired teen.
"I said come here!" he said firmly. He lifted his arm into the air and yanked it backwards. Almost as though an invisible rope attached her to his hand, she stumbled forwards. When she was close enough, he reached forward and pulled her into his lap.
"There, much more comfortable isn't it" he grinned in her face, she squirmed to get away, but he only held her tighter. He wagged a finger annoyingly in front of her face. "Nu-uh"
"I hate you!" she said darkly, "I hate you with all my soul!"
"Aww, I'm hurt, darkling, how could you, I think I deserve a kiss as an apology" without waiting for an answer, he crushed his mouth against hers. He forced his tongue past her lips and roughly plundered her mouth. He let out a moan as he kissed her roughly.
She let out a yelp of pain as his grip suddenly tightened on her waist as he lifted her into the air and carried her over to the bed. Lying on top of her, he pinned her down as he tried to force her top over her head.
"No!" she cried, pulling her top back down, only to have him attack her again, this time with her shorts (she's still only dressed in her pyjamas).
"NO!" she yelled and a surge of energy welled up inside her, it threw Bryan off her, slamming him backwards against the wall. Choking back tears, she pulled her clothes more firmly onto her and hugged her body, rocking back and forth on the bed.
He stood up groggily and rubbed the side of his head. "That wasn't nice!" he said softly, "I'll deal with you later!" he growled and stalked out of the door, leaving it open.
She shakily got to her feet and walked into the bathroom. She needed a shower to wash herself clean of him. Once she stepped under the scorching flow of water she scrubbed her skin so hard it was painful, the tears still ran freely down her face as she ceased scrubbing and slammed her fists against the tiled wall of the shower. "Dammit!" she screamed, pounding the wall with her hands, until they were bruised and bleeding. She sank to the floor of the shower and let the water wash the blood away.
She had to get out of there, get away from him. She let her mind wander to the subject of Tala, and she smiled as she pictured him in her mind. 'Oh Tala, are you thinking of me too?' she mused silently.
Back in the multi-coloured corridor
"I see you're awake Tala" A voice sounded from the doorway. Lying in his bed, he rolled his head to one side to see Kai leaning against the door frame.
"So it would seem" he said half heartedly, "what brings you to my bedside?"
"I want answers" the blue haired boy said simple.
"I thought as much" Tala said quietly.
"How long?"
"Two and a half months" Tala answered.
"You have to thank Lee, you know?"
"Huh?" Tala asked confused.
"He saved your life last night"
"Oh"
Kai relayed the rest of last night's events to Tala. At the mention of Bryan vanishing with Hannah, Tala's expression darkened and he turned his gaze angrily to one side.
"I'm going to kill him" he said softly.
"Don't you think the rest of us want that chance too Tala, me especially, I've known her since we were children. She's my best friend Tala, what is she to you?!" Kai cried angrily.
"I-I love her" Tala replied quietly, "I love her Kai"
Kai was at a loss for words for a moment, until he laid a hand upon Tala's shoulder. "You love her?"
"Yes, more than anything"
"I never knew"
"That's because no one told you! No one else knew!"
"Why didn't you tell anyone?"
"Because we didn't, we kept it between us and us alone!"
The two fell silent for a moment until Kai broke it once more
"We'll find her Tala"
"Oh yes we shall!" Tala said determinedly.
Before they could continue their conversation, someone yelled outside the room, yelled for everyone to come. Kai got up and walked away from the bed.
"Uh Kai?"
"Hn?" he called over his shoulder
"Little help?" Sighing he helped the red head out of the bed and supported him out of the door and down the corridor. Only to find Kevin stood next to a girl that none of them had ever seen before.
S-E: Ooh cliffie! Please review! I shall love you forever and ever!

"I-I had a dream last night" she stuttered, "I know how to train you to use your powers. I have remembered much since I came here"
They were interrupted by Robert, "Remembered? What haven't you told us Raven" he asked angrily.
