Chapter 2: New Life

~ Things only get worse. My training got harder, to a point were it was seemingly impossible. I had to be perfect. I was eight-years-old when someone new came to the abbey. He cared. He gave me feeling. He set me free….and died in the process. ~

"Kata. You have to leave this place. I'll get you out." Said the twenty year-old man that was eating lunch with Kata.

"Will you come with me, Takou?"

"Yes. We'll be free."

BEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!!

BEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!!

"All personnel, search and destroy Takou Harrad. Take Kata Windser to Voltaire." Someone said over a loud speaker.

"We have to hurry." Takou grabbed Kata's hand and began running towards a secret exit that he had found.

"Wait. What about my brother? We can't leave him here." Kata began to run in the other direction but Takou stopped her.

"Your brother doesn't want to come with us."

"Are you sure?" Kata didn't know what to do. She couldn't just leave her brother behind.

"Yes. Now lets go." Takou began running again but men in black suits stepped in front of him.

"Where were you going with Miss Windser?" The man in the front said, pointing a gun at Takou's head.

"For a walk." He seethed through his teeth.

"You have always been a bad liar, Takou."

BANG

THUD

"NO!!! Takou!!!" Kata yelled, running up to his body.

"Come with me, Kata. Voltaire would like to see you."

"No. You bastard. Matt, how could you do that to your own brother?"

"He wasn't worth the time. Now lets go before Voltaire looses his patience."

"I'm not going anywhere…except away from HERE!!!" Kata kicked out and knocked Matt's feet out from under him. Then she proceeded to get rid of the rest of the guards.

Kata looked back to see her lifetime friends…the Demolition Boys.

"Bye. We'll meet again, I promise." Then Kata stepped into the sun outside. She'd never been in the sun before. Since she had been born in the abbey where it is always gloomy, the sun terrified her. It burnt her skin and eyes. But she got used to it and began running once again.

*** ** *** ** ***

~ I had escaped. Into the open and cruel world. Takou had given me feeling….and the curve balls were hitting at full force. I found a chance to belong somewhere. I took it. I took the plane to America. I had always heard that in America people could start a new life. I didn't need anything more. But my connection with the abbey was always there….my brother. ~

"Little girl. You should go home now, it's getting dark." Said the kind man that was always at the park with his two daughters.

"I can't." Kata said.

"Why not?"

"Because I don't have one." Kata looked up at the man pleadingly.

"Oh, you poor child. Come with me. My name is Aaron. You know my daughters, Christina and Tiffany."

"Yeah, daddy. We play all the time. Come on Kata." Tiffany and Christina grabbed Kata and began running in, what Kata assumed, the direction towards their house.

~ I had a new life. I had a father and sisters that were my best friends. It seemed that I was in a safety zone were those damn curve balls couldn't get me. I was a straight A student, I had a love for playing the clarinet and any other instrument that I could find, I had many friends and everyone liked me. I had a life that most people would give anything for. But…that link was still there. It would never go away. The link between my brother and I and my brother with Biovolt. My past began to surface, rearing it's ugly head, when I was thirteen-years-old. ~

"How is it that you aced that test and I failed?" A boy that was standing next to Kata asked.

"It's not my fault that you don't study or even try, Zach. I have an idea, why don't you actually try doing good at something other than skateboarding. May be you would do as well as I have." Kata said. She's obviously had this talk before.

"Why the hell would I want to do that?"

"May be so I don't have to hurt you for being so annoying, or may be keep me from committing suicide or cutting off my own ears."

"I don't know why you try. That idiot is to dense to even understand the concept of being intelligent." Said a boy that looked a lot like Zach.

"Oh yeah, you work so hard that you have a vein that is preeminently sticking out of your head!"

"Would you to stop. I swear, you to act nothing like brothers." Christina said from behind Kata.

"And twins no less." Tiffany said next.

"Whatever. You don't have any idea what it is like to have a twin." They said at the same time.

Kata stopped dead in her tracks and Christina walked into her.

"What's wrong Kata?"

"Nothing. I just…..it's nothing." Then she kept walking. 'I could have sworn I felt him. I know I did. Where are you hiding Damon?'

"Hey. Can you guys go ahead of me? I'll catch up to you latter."

"Okay, Kata. What ever you say."

*** ** *** ** ***

After looking around for half an hour, Kata decided that she should go home so that her dad wouldn't worry about her. But she stopped dead again when she heard, "Hello sister" and felt someone grab her from behind, putting their hand over her mouth. She felt something wet against her mouth and began to fight, but the person was to strong and she was feeling very light-headed and sleepy. Her eyelids began to drop and she soon past out.

"Good work, Damon."

"Thank you, Matt."
