Chapter 13

(Flashback)

Khaymen was standing on the balcony watching the attack as blood stained hands killed even more.

"Khaymen, we have new news on the - " a soldier fell to the ground with a heavy thud.

"I thought you were going to be fighting Kon for me… Tala."

Sapphire eyes glared intensely at Khaymen as Tala walked towards the opposing wolf.

"I apologize, but I could've sworn that Marcus relieved me of that task."

"Marcus was suppose to be dead."

"And you will be joining him soon Alex." Tala lunged forward and attacked Khaymen dragging his claws across his chest giving him 4 deep gashes.

"Why? Tala you - "

" You raped my sister you bastard!" Tala curled his fingers around Khaymen's throat and froze his veins to his head, then froze the rest of Khaymen's body. " I want you to live Khaymen. Just so you can watch Korimi live on without you. Instead of being with you, she'll be with Kon, excuse me… Rei will have her with him to protect. I never really liked how much you changed after you gained control of the clan." Tala turned and left Khaymen frozen on the ground.

(End Flashback)

Khaymen traced one of his scars and stared at Korimi.

"Because you ratted on me, your brother BETRAYED me and froze me in a solid piece of ice."

"Well you shouldn't have forced yourself on me!" Korimi screamed as she clenched her fists, black flames licking her knuckles. Korimi sprinted towards Khaymen and opened her fist as the black flames spread across the room and hit Khaymen.

Khaymen grinned even more as Korimi continued to beat the crap outta him.

" I know how to make you fall…"

"Huh?!"

Khaymen dodged Korimi's attack and retreated from the battle.

" HEY! Come back here you coward!!" Korimi screamed as she chased after Khaymen, when a sudden smoke screen blocked and clouded her vision.

" That damn bastard. " Korimi slammed her fist into the wall causing a hole to form and ripple in the structure of the wall.

'Catty, we're at the tower now.' Dranzer said to Catty as he circled the tower.

" Thanks Dranzer " Catty said as she stood up and jumped off Dranzer's back and slid down the side of the tower. Kai looked at Rei questionably.

"Does she always do that?"

"How should I know?"

Rei and Kai blinked and watched Catty descend the tower and reached the bottom. Dranzer landed on the ground and let Rei and Kai off.

" So, the calvery has come to save poor old Tala? "

" B-Boris?! "

Kai, Catty, and Rei growled and Dranzer hissed venomously.

Chesa sat on her bed as she recalled what had happened. 'He kissed me…' Chesa looked towards the door and sighed.

" Why can't he stop teasing me!!!! " Chesa glared at the door making the air chip parts of the door. 'crap'

" Who are you ticked off at? "

" YOU! "

"…ok…" Spike left Chesa's room before she had the chance to engrave scars into his body.

" I need to figure out if he really loves me, or if he's just playing with me. But, do I really want to face the answer he might give me. What if he rejects me?" Chesa sat down on her bed and thought about the possible answers she could receive from the emotionless blader.

Bryan stood on the roof and gazed at the stars. 'Why won't she get out of my mind! Why is Chesa suddenly so important to me?' Bryan thought as he felt a sudden chill in the air. Looking out to the horizon Bryan noticed the tiny little flakes of ice crystals falling from the sky.

"Great… Now we're getting snow… like the water wasn't bad enough already…" Bryan sighed and pulled his jacket closer to his body. " What's taking Tala so long." Bryan walked over to the ledge and stared at the falling crystals. Watching how his breath was turning into a fog as he exhaled Bryan shook his head and concluded that he would have to sort out his emotions later.

Falborg emerged from his blade and stood behind Bryan, grinning at his master.

'Is something bothering you master?' Falborg leaned his head down and nuzzled his head on Bryan's shoulder. Bryan looked over his should and turned to face the great falcon.

" Why can't she leave me alone?"

'Maybe she's not even trying to pester you… or maybe she's just as confused as you.'

Bryan thought long and hard as he tried to figure out how the hell he would explain to Chesa that there was nothing there, but nothing came to mind.

" Oh, god… I can't be falling for her…" Bryan hugged Falborg as it slowly dawned on him.

He did fall for her.

' I would go and tell her Master, but that's just my idea…'

" You were planning this to happen weren't you?"

Falborg remained silent and returned to his blade.

" Just peachy, now my falcon is setting me up. " Bryan sighed once more for the millionth time and made his way down the stairs and to Chesa's room.

Korimi left Khaymen's room and headed towards an exit. ' I have to get back to the others, god only knows what the hell Khaymen could be planning in his sick twisted mind.' Korimi sprinted down the bricked hallway evading security cameras that didn't work too well.

'I pray that Rei's ok… last thing I need is Khaymen destroying one of my only reasons for fighting.'

Stopping at a window, Korimi gazed out at the sky and noticed the snow that had started to fall. Keizer appeared next to Korimi and nudged Korimi with his head. Korimi held on her pendant as she scratched behind Keizers ear.

' I'm coming back Rei, just please, be there when I return.'

'Shall we get going?'

"Sure, besides, I want to make sure my brother hasn't been torturing Rei while I was gone. " Korimi grinned and jumped onto Keizers back as Keizer broke through the window and flew through the night sky. 'I'm coming guys.'

The moon shined brightly as the snow continued to fall around the earth as the temperature dropped DRASTICALLY. Anyone out on the streets or homeless flooded the hospitals due to frostbite and high fevers. The human race was slowly dying out.

Little by little, the livestock thins out and eventually depletes. The world is facing a great depression in food and the younger humans, the less fortunate, and the non-wealthy are freezing to death. The population has been cut in half, and a war has broken out over livestock.

Nations falling apart. The ones that were once standing tall have been knocked off their feet and have fallen on their faces. The battle against time had started… and it's not looking to brightly at the other living beings on Earth.

Catty: Well I believe I shall get started on typing chapter 14 and finish writing it lol

Rei: REVIEW!!
