Hey guys its me, back with a new chapter. Today I went to one of the school fairs with my nine-year-old friend. I got a bit pissed off and I told these girls to fuck off because they were poking us in the backs, I wanted to punch them so bad, but that would be causing a scene. It wasn't my school fair it was some primary school fair that is sort of a few roads away. Most of the people from the school were there and some annoying girls from my class so punching the girls would be bad especially as I'm the innocent quiet girl in the class. Any way to the story.

Chapter sixteen: memories

Kai and Jade woke up at the same time, as each other with the exception that Jade didn't fall of the bed. It was now the fifth night of camp, two days after the night at the beach. It became a usual routine to get up, get ready, wake up the kids with the horn and wake up the other cabin and because they did it so often Tala didn't get angry and sort of got used to it. Over the past few days Jade had figured out that Tala had asked Celeste out and that she accepted, how she found out was a little interrogating.

When Jade made no move to get off the bed after waking Tala and the rest, Kai asked, "what's wrong with you? You look a bit pale," he knelt down beside Jade where she was hunched over holding her head in her hands.

"Nothing," she mumbled then she sat bolt up right and ran to the bathroom.

"Jade!" Kai called running after her and calling through the door to the bathroom, "Jade, come out, tell me what's wrong," he was calling through the door until it opened and a red haired girl glared at him.

"She can't come out Kai, she's practically chucking up in there," snapped the girl, she walked past him and headed to the girl's room. Kai sighed and slide down the wall waiting for Jade to come out.

Girls came in and out and Kai kept asking how she was, the boys were all in the lounge room, some asking what was wrong with Jade and others just staying to themselves.

Jade staggered out ten minutes later and nearly tripped over her feet when someone caught her before she hit the ground, "Jade, how you feeling?" asked Kai lifting her up and taking her to one of the couches.

Jade smiled he was worrying about her, his voice was dripping in concern, "just a migraine, my migraines do that to me make me throw up, but now I just need to take a Panadol and I'll be alright." (that's what happens to me and I hate it, once I had a migraine two weeks in a row, on the same day, it was great for skipping school though.)

"Why don't you just stay here, I can look after them," said Kai kneeling beside her and staring into her green eyes.

"Because if I do that, you'll murder them alive and like I said I'm feeling better now, I just have to take a Panadol and have something to eat and I'll be like my old self," Jade smiled and feeling most of her energy back she stood up and walked to the counsellor room. She searched through her make up bag (no make up in there) and found her Panadol, she walked to the bathroom and swallowed the tablet, she walked back to Kai and asked, "lets go I'm hungry, after all I was sick," she smiled and headed out the door followed by the rest of the cabin. Kai sighed and walked after Jade.

"How you feeling now?" asked Kai after breakfast, he was walking next to her with his hands stuffed in his pockets.

"I'm fine, its sweet you care so much but to much caring can drive someone up the wall," Jade walked to the front and said, "this is the paint challenge just like laser challenge just with paint, you all get a gun like this see, now all you have to do is pull the trigger, watch," Jade turned to Kai and as if he knew what was coming he raised the gun and pointed it to Jade. At the same time they pulled the trigger, both of them having quick reflexes dodge the paint balls. Jade did her normal back flip and Kai just took two steps to the left, all the twelve year olds and thirteen year olds were cheering, clapping or were just stunned.

"Now go into groups of four and pick up four of the same matching colour bands for the team, aim of the game be the last team standing if you get shot five times you're out," Kai laid down the rules, he walked to a tree and leaned against it, Jade followed Kai after she had set the teams off to play. Jade climbed up the tree and took a seat on a low branch.

"So Kai can you tell about this dinner party thing, like where it's being held, why their having it, stuff like that?" asked Jade. Jade slid her hand behind her back and grabbed a paint gun from one of the kids standing behind her.

"It's being held at my place, because of my grandfathers business," said Kai watching as people were shooting each other.

"What is your grandfathers business?" asked Jade smiling, she pointed the gun at Kai, and she squinted and aimed her shot.

"Why do you care?" asked Kai.

"Don't really," she replied, she pulled the trigger and two paint balls hit Kai in the back.

Kai stayed silent for a minute and soon a little paint war started between the two counsellors.

When the time was up Jade and Kai were the most colourful people out of the kids, "what happened to you guys?" choked Tala as the group walked into the dinning hall.

"Paint war," mumbled Jade grabbing a hamburger.

"How'd that start?" asked Mariam taking a bite out of her lunch.

"Jade," grumbled Kai, taking a seat at the table.

"When you have the activity paint challenge, beware, some of the kids are brutal with the guns, Kai and I had to run, they all ganged up it was terrible," shuddered Jade.

"But I thought Jade started it?" asked Celeste confused, she was sitting with Tala's arm wrapped around her waist.

"I did, but then some kid shouted 'get them' and then they all ganged up," Jade said; Kai nodded his head in agreement.

"We whomped you," said one of the thirteen year olds, they all laughed including Tala and the others.

Jade and Kai groaned and Jade banged her head on the table, "they're going to hold it against us, as blackmail," Jade mumbled into the table, Kai groaned again.

The day had finished and Kai and Jade had fallen asleep being dead tired. It was around one in the morning and couldn't fall asleep mainly because Jade kept whimpering in her sleep. He looked at her and wondered if he should wake her up.

"Leave me alone!" Jade cried slowly backing into the wall of an old building. Jade put her hand to her arm as there was a long gash where the blade had slashed her, her eyes held tears but she didn't let them escape, her green eyes were a darker green than usual, they held hatred and fear. Her back hit the wall and the person advanced nearer, he had short white blond hair and blue eyes, and he would've been attractive if wasn't going to hurt her.

"Jade, don't run, this won't hurt," he went in for a punch but Jade dodged it, she punched back and did a swipe kick making him fall on his back. As the man fell to the ground, he quickly grabbed at her ankle and grabbed the knife and stabbed her in the shoulder. The fifteen-year-old Jade was plunged into darkness and only remembered her brothers fighting.

Jade sat blot up right, breathing heavily, Jade wiped her eyes as tears started to form, "Jade are you okay?" asked Kai concerned.

Jade got out of bed and pulled the door open, "I-I need a d-drink," stuttered Jade she walked out of the room, she walked outside into the forest.

"Jade," Kai got out of bed and followed Jade, "Jade, what's wrong?" Kai grabbed her wrists and turned her around, "tell me?" he pleaded.

Jade's eyes were watering and she was finding it difficult to hold them in, she put a hand to her right shoulder and looked down where a faint white scar was, she burst out crying and Kai pulled her towards him. Jade cried into his shoulder, while Kai was saying calming, soothing words.

Kai wiped her tears and Jade started talking not looking into his eyes, "I w-was fifteen a-and I r-refused a-a ride f-from my brother. I-I was a-attacked b-by s-some guy t-that knew m-me," Jade started, "he w-was c-crazy and s-started to fight me, I-I couldn't t-take him on, h-he was t-to strong, h-he lashed at me w-with his k-knife, h-he stabbed m-me in the s-shoulder a-and," Jade stopped and the tears formed in her eyes again, "m-my b-brothers came, they f-fought him and he s-stabbed my e-eldest brother Adam, he died," Jade choked out the last part and dropped to the ground, crying.

Kai didn't know what to do, he was a little stunned that Jade had another brother, he kneeled beside her and picked her up, "Jade I've been through many deaths, I know what it feels like, my father died when I was young including half my family, then my grandfather decided to send me to some military school," Jade looked into his eyes as Kai carried her back to the cabin, Kai's eyes were full of grief and anger, "it's the love you hold for the person that causes the pain. Everything dies, that's a fact, but maybe everything that dies someday comes back," said Kai, he put her on her bed and put a hand to her face as Jade did the same.

"Kai, you poet," she smiled, "thank you so much, you'll always be my friend," Jade hugged Kai. Kai hugged her back, when they pulled away they both smiled, "better get some sleep," yawned Jade.

Jade couldn't help but think 'just great another trait of yours to put on my list on why I like you so much' Jade sighed and slowly fell asleep.

Kai put a hand over his face and sighed, soon he fell asleep

I hope you like this chapter you just found that Jade had another brother and that she got attacked by a stranger, you have also witnessed how caring Kai really is and a bit more about his family. Please review.

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge, that myth is more potent that history. I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts, that hope always triumphs over experience, that laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.
