True Bonds of Friendship

Tala POV

The world of lights and colours flicker between the world of the dead and the living the world of the dreaming and awake.

The world of being in between washed itself in front of my eyes, the land of the living was where I was, but for some reason I never wanted to leave.

Toni and I both sat in some very comfortable chairs with blankets wrapped around us our drips still there.

She was smiling and laughing, like the old Toni, she was the way I wanted her to be my Toni.

I listened to what she had to say, her dream with the sunflowers me and Kai both being there, our BitBeasts saving her from Death.

How Kai and I acted as if we'd been friends all our life and never had any differences, how happy she felt seeing us laugh together.

She didn't stop speaking it was if she was telling me her life story, she said how Voltaire and Boris are dead how the abbey is closed and the police are still looking through it finding more labs and children dead then alive.

How the Biovolt Corporation has been showing on the television as it's been the headlines of a century here in Russia and the world.

How the BBA have decided to demolish the abbey once everything's been cleared and how I'll always be Toni's true friend.

I start to think on how she thinks of me and Kai being enemies, how her best friend is an enemy of her own living brother.

How her loyalty must have been ripped to shreds, how she must have felt that life was never meant to be lived as two people.

I watch her face, it lights up as she smiles, as her eyes move and her hands wave around expressing what ever she's saying.

I look down at the navy blanket that is on my lap and notice she's stopped speaking, she looking at me with worried eyes.

"Tala what's wrong?"

I want to say, "Nothings wrong", but I can't I can't lie to her anymore; I can't bring myself to bring her hopes and dreams crashing to reality again.

She notices something troubling me, well there is Toni, it's me, and I'm troubling over myself, over the things I wish could be.

She moves closer wincing at the pain as she moves closer to me, her hand on my cupped ones, "Tala?"

I look up to stare back at the face that looks so much like my rivals; I stare into her worried anxious eyes, shaking my head I whisper.

"I can never be friends with him Toni", she knows who I'm talking about, she gives me a frightened look, she wants us o be friends so badly with all her heart.

"You can Tala, I know you can, just talk to him, please", she getting uneasy, fear is running through her veins, her eyes searching my face for some hope.

I look down, "No", she whispers denial is seeping its way to her heart, and she's shaking now, her hand off my own, she still searching for something that isn't there for something that never existed.

"Toni I'm-" but I never say it, I haven't got the guts to tell her the truth, she moving away, she getting up trying to make her way out of my room and into the hallway, she's at the door she stops.

Turns and looks at me, her eyes full of tears, "I wished so hard Tala, I even prayed that it wouldn't end like that and now…now you had to break you broke me Tala in the worst way you've ever had, and Tala, I hope you come to your senses soon…I really do", and she closed the door.

Leaving me and my pain alone, she left me alone, alone to rot in hell, to die in my own misery…to think of way she even saved me.

Kai's POV

Thinking of the best way to forget is harder them remembering what you have forgotten.

I was in a wheelchair, just till I can use the crutches I wheeled my way to the hospital gardens were I like to think.

I saw a slight figure by the pond, on her knees I wheeled up to her, it was Toni.

She had been crying her eyes red her face disoriented with pain and misery.

She doesn't notice I'm even there, she sees my reflection in the still water and turns to face me, a face of fear.

"Toni, what's wrong", I ask her, she looks down at the ground, not answering me, her eyes rested on my blank cast.

"Tala say's…he say's you and him can never be friends", she chokes, she doesn't look at me in the eye, and I'm not even surprised either.

"Toni, I hate to say it but…Tala's right", she makes a choking sound in her throat, and she hugs herself, wanting to comfort herself as much as possible.

"No, you can be friends, all it needs is time", what I hope was herself talking to herself but she looked at me, her eyes so desperate to make things right so make the wrong the right so much like my mothers.

"Oh Toni-" I whisper unable to comfort her as a brother should unable to look and speak to her as if a friend.

I lean to stroke her hair but she moves away, sniffing, whimpering on how life isn't fair and everything has to be wrong for those she loves.

I want to hug her touch her face, to wipe the tears of pain and misery away.

"Toni, I'll promise you something" she looks up at me and I see how much she looks like me for the first time.

"I promise", her eyes are burning into me, "that I'll do anything to make you happy, and only if your happy, I'll be happy…Toni, what can I do to make you happy".

She smiles and says "Befriend your enemy and never dwell on the past again", she stands, and looks at me, her eyes had stopped searching for whatever she was seeking, she takes my hands and I pull her into a warm hug.

"Oh Toni, I'll do my best", I whisper and she leaves me alone, trying to figure out how I can befriend Tala.

Later that Day with everyone, normal POV

This is how the room was set up, the wreck room lived by its name, Max and Tyson playing Final Fantasy (AN: I luv that game) while Kenny upgraded Dizzi, Ray played solitaire or patience which ever you want to call it, Kai stared into space as he looked out the wide window, Tala tried to sleep and Toni was drawing in a pad she had found.

Tala opening his eyes and stared into Kai's back seeing the boy tense at his gaze, knowing he was staring at him.

Tala got up and walked to Kai, stood in front of him, not a grin not even an emotion in sight on his face.

"Kai I have something to say", Kai looked up puzzled by this but let him carry on, the room want dead silent.

"I…I've been thinking about…about Lillian".

There he said it; Kai didn't glare but didn't seem to know where this was going.

"Kai, Lillian came to me in my dream at the hospital and she shows me…you and me, we aren't that different".

Everyone was watching the two closely, Tala took deep breathes and said, "She said that we have been through the same torment and I now understand why I loved her the way I did, she was always so understanding and Kai I think no scratch that I know, that we can be friends, no matter what differences came between us".

Kai suddenly stood up, leaning his entire weight on his castled leg; he looked into the depths of Tala's eyes and said.

"Tala, I made a promise and I always keep my promises even if in the past I didn't I will start now, Tala I made a promise that I'd do anything to keep someone very special very happy and I intend to keep that promise".

Tala listened and saw Kai's eyes flicker onto Toni's nervous face, he smiled, and he understood how he felt.

He took out his hand to shake, the room's occupants held their breathe waiting for Kai to decline or shake.

Kai stared at the hand and looked into the distance behind Tala and saw the figure of Lillian nodding her head.

He smiled a true smile and took the hand with a mighty grip, everyone leapt into the air.

"Friendship Tala is the only key to true happiness", whispered Kai as Tala and him gave a gentle yet mighty hug.

"I know that Kai, I know that now", he answered.

Next Day Kai's POV

Tala may be my friend but that doesn't mean I don't forgive him for the things he thought of me, the only real thing I'm glad about him is that he's friends with Toni.

I stare out into the Russian world that was my own, how the light of something seems to change so quickly you barely know it's happened.

Mr Dickinson came to me just a few hours ago to ask about the chip, they don't think it's a good call to remove it but, it hasn't done much damage now it could have been switched off?

But then, if it was switched off, there would be someone who did that, from the main computers of the abbey?

Who would do that?

And would the switch it on again in the near future?

Mr Dickinson said I had three hours to decide and soon those hours will be up, I have ten minutes to go and I still haven't made up my mind.

I stare at the door that the doctors and Mr Dickinson are to walk through to hear my undecided answer.

There's a knock on my door and it opens I don't look at it; I stare at the window, out into the cold air that is my home.

"Kai, what's your decision" asks Mr Dickinson I don't look at him but raise my hand to the chip behind my neck; I feel a tingle run through my body.

What is my decision?

"Yes, remove it" I say in a clear emotionless tone of voice.

I hear them start to talk to me about the difficulties I will have to face the consequences that may happen in this act.

But I don't listen for I will survive because of one thing.

My friends are right behind me.
