Chapter 3: A Way Out
They had found me. They took me away from my family. It wasn't fair. I hate them. They destroyed my life. It was bad before, but back then I didn't have a life for them to destroy. And I never thought that…that my brother would become one of them. It wasn't like it was before. I was under constant supervision. If I did one thing wrong…well lets just say they made you truly regret it. I would have done almost anything to get out. I wanted to be with my family again. And I wasn't going to get to be with them in there. All the taunting. Everything I was called. I didn't even know why…why was I different?
"KATA!!!!"
"Oh god. He found me." Kata whispered under her breath.
"You're it." Tala said.
"That's so not fair! You found Brian first!" Kata yelled as she stood from her hiding place.
"Well you haven't ever been it. So it's your turn." Brian pointed out.
"Oh fine. But you better hide good." Kata turned around and began to count, but stopped when she heard someone from behind her speak.
"You shouldn't socialize with something like her." Kata turned around and saw her brother and Matt.
"Kata, Voltaire wishes to speak to you." Matt said, stepping in front of Damon. "It's important." He added when Tala stepped in front of her.
Kata put her hand on Tala's shoulder and said, "It's okay. What does he want?"
"I'm not sure. Don't keep him waiting, let's go." Matt grabbed her roughly by the arm and started pulling her toward Voltaire's office.
I was in for the shock of my life. So many things that I didn't know about. Things that would have made life a bit easier if I had never been told. So much easier.
"Kata, my daughter (She isn't really his daughter or anything people, he just calls her that when he wants something.) , you and your brother are very special." Voltaire said, pulling Kata into his lap. "Have you ever wondered why, even though you to are twins, don't look much alike at all?"
"Well, I suppose so. I guess I'm so used to it that I don't even notice. I've really only seen a few twins, but they all were the same gender so they look exactly alike, no difference at all."
"You two are different because you were born special."
"What do you mean?" Kata asked. 'What is he talking about? This doesn't make any sense.'
"You have special powers." Voltaire responded.
"Why doesn't Damon have these powers also? I don't understand."
"There can only one person with your power alive at a time."
"Why did I get it?" Kata was reeeeeeeeeeealy confused.
"I'm not sure." All of a sudden, Voltaire pulled a needle from put of nowhere and injected something into Kata. "But we plan on finding that out."
Kata put up a great struggle, but the sedative soon began to work and she quickly fell into darkness.
Kata's eye's began to open.
"She's waking up."
"ugh. My head." Kata slowly sat up and looked at her surroundings.
"Kata. Step out here." One of the doctors she knew beckoned her toward the door.
She stood up and walked toward the doctor. She saw Voltaire, Matt, and her brother standing outside the door.
"What the hell did you do?!" Kata yelled as she walked up to Voltaire, staring him down.
"Unlocked your powers. You should notice a difference. More power." Voltaire responded.
"I don't want these powers damn it!! I want a life! I hate you!!!" Then she stormed back to her room.
Later that night, Kata awoke from the strangest dream she had had in a long while. It made no sense at all. Kata stood up and walked toward the door. Kata had been noticing that her hearing had improved and her sense of her surroundings had also improved dramatically.
'Something's wrong. Why aren't the regular guards guarding my door? The dudes out there now are total weaklings. What does Voltaire think he's doing? Wait…how the hell did I know about the guards? May be this is my chance to escape.'
Kata quickly slipped into her blue bellbottoms and a dark green tanktop. She grabbed her black jacket and just as she was about to stepped out of the door, she realized that the cameras were still on.
'No. No. Damn it. Even if I do get out, they'll track me down before I can actually go anywhere.'
As Kata was trying to figure a different way out and cursing those damn cameras to hell, the little red light on the camera went out.
'It turned off. How is that possible. Oh well, it doesn't really matter as long as I get out of here before they come back on.'
Kata quickly dashed out of her room after taking out the guards. When she was mere steps from her freedom, Kata realized something… those bastards had her blade. She turned around and began the long run to where her blade was kept. Sadly, it just had to be on the other side of the conference room were Voltaire and the rest of the bastards were having a meeting in. Basically, Kata was one side, her blade on the other, and the damned conference room right in between them.
'How am I supposed to get over there. I don't know what to do.'
"Her power has increased drastically. Her catlike features have become much more distinguished." Kata was pulled out of her agitation and began to listen to the meeting that was going on in the other room.
Just then, the alarm began to go off.
"THE GEDE SNUGI HAS ESCAPED FROM HER ROOM. ALL PERSONEL, BE ON GUARD. SHE MUST BE FOUND IMMEDIATELY."
"Damn it, Kata." She heard Voltaire say.
'Shit.'
Kata through herself across the door and dashed for the room that held her blade. She came to a quick stop when she saw her brother standing in front of the door that had the blade.
'Fuck'
"Now where are you headed to?" Damon said.
"Get out of the way." Kata said as she struck out. Damon caught her fist in his hand.
"Why are you on their side? Don't you care at all that what they are doing to us, and many others here, is wrong?" Her strong, confident demeanor was gone and she almost looked helpless. Knowing that your other half wasn't on your side was a real sting in the heart.
"How can I not. This is all I've ever known. You got away, not me. Takou may have said that he cared for you and your well being but he was just looking out for himself."
Using her other hand, Kata slapped Damon across the face with such force that he staggered back a few paces. "Watch what you say! What would you know?! You were always against me. I've always looked for a new life. I had that! I had it and YOU tuck it away!!!"
"Aww, sibling rivalry." Matt stepped around the corner. "You're in a lot of trouble missy." He reached out to grab her but she was pulled away by Damon. Kata felt something being slipped into her hand.
"The window around the corner is the only safe exit. Use it." Damon pushed her back behind him. She took a quick glance at her brother and dashed for the window.
"KATA!! GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!!!"
She heard a scream of pain and turned around to see Matt holding the handle of a knife that had gone all the way through Damon's stomach, poking out of his back.
"NO!!!" Kata screamed, running back toward her brother.
"Get to the window. Live that life you wanted." He crumpled to the floor.
"Come here, babe." Matt held his arms out wide.
Kata looked at him in disgust and dashed toward the window. But to late she realized that she was running the wrong way. She was going deeper into that abbey and further away from her goal.
She could sense him catching up to her. All she could do was run. He wasn't one of the men in the abbey that she could take down. There weren't many that could last long against her. No matter how much she hated him, she still had to respect him for his abilities…and he knew it. He knew that she was afraid of him…and he loved it.
"Look at this mess." Voltaire looked down at Damon with disappointment and disgust.
"He's still alive, sir. What should we do?" A doctor asked.
"Get him fixed up, we'll use him for the experiment."
"Are you sure that is wise, sir?"
"Do not question my authority."
"Yes, sir."
'Shit. Dead end.'
She took a sharp left and ran into one of the classrooms that were used to teach some of the people. She dashed to end of the room and hid inside the cabinet near the teachers desk. As soon as she had closed the cabinet doors, the door to the room slammed open and she began to hear his heavy breathing. By the way it sounded, he wasn't breathing heavy because of the run but because he was excited.
"Come out, Kata. I know you're in here. But don't come out just yet. I'm having a lot of fun play hide-and-go-seek."
Kata worked hard to keep her breathing under control. Some thing banged against the cabinet doors and she feared he had already found her.
"I remember when you were ten and everyone was playing this game. I thought it was stupid. But it can be allot of fun when it's more a game of cat and mouse. I'm the cat and you're the mouse. Isn't this fun?"
'No.'
She could hear his footsteps stop and she knew exactly were he was located in the room…right in front of the cabinets.
'Don't panic. Just be calm and relaxed and you'll think of a way out. Don't call attention to yourself. Don't make any noises.'
The cabinet doors swung open and Matt stared down at her with a smug smirk on his face.
The cabinet doors swung open and Matt stared down at her with a smug smirk on his face.
She couldn't help it…
…
…
…
…
She screamed.
As he reached out to grab her, he heard a bang behind him. He quickly turned to see Damon standing by the door that had been thrown open. Kata, taking her chance to get away, kicked out the back of his knees, and hit him over the back of the head. Before Matt even hit the floor, she was at Damon's side. The knife was still impaling his stomach. Blood was beginning to pool at his feet as his legs gave out, and crumbled to the ground.
"Are you ok?" Kata asked.
Damon gave her a funny look, and said "I think I'll be fine once I get unskewered", Damon laughed.
Kata said, "You have a sick sense of humor".
Kata was about to pull out the knife, but then medical knowledge came to mind, and pulling out the knife could cause more internal bleeding. 'Shit. I don't know what to do.'
Damon turns and looks at her, and says leave.
"I can't leave you here"
"You have to. You'll never make it out if you try and drag me with you!"
She puts her hand on his shoulder and says "Thank you, Damon." She stands up and walks out the door.
'Don't look back. Whatever you do, don't look back.'
I never did look back, but I will always remember the pain I was feeling when I thought of how I left my brother there to die.
I wasn't sure where to go. America was the first place that popped in my head, but for some reason, I had a feeling that I shouldn't go there. They knew that my family was there. It was no longer a safe place for anyone. I thought about going back and living with them again, but that would put them in danger. Then I knew that I had to get them away to a place I thought they would be safe at, but I know that Aaron would never move somewhere else. So I just didn't go there. But that only eliminated one place. I needed a plan. I couldn't just keep running forever. I saw the advertisements for the Beyblade World Tournament and my plan quickly formed after that.
