Key: "Talking"Thoughts/Talking to Bit-Beasts Bit-Beast Talking 'Russian':Different scene:
Cold Shadows Chapter 3-Training Under BorisOnce again Kai opened his eyes slowly, feeling pain and nausea through his small body. He felt that he wasn't in a bed but in a new cell, not chained in anyway, and even if he was, Kai couldn't move with the pain. The cell was much smaller, just big enough to be a closet with bars on the opposite side of him. Ignoring the pain, multiple bruises, and cuts around his body, Kai forced himself to his knees and palms. He looked up, allowing his slightly damp bangs to hide the rest of his face as his crimson eyes looked out of the cell. Kai could see some people roaming around on the far side of the room, all in white coats. Kai stared blankly as they rushed around the testing room. Small crying caught Kai's ears, coming from right next to him. Kai stuck his head out a bit from the cage and looked over to side and saw Elizabeth in the cage next to his (A/N: The cages are about 3 by 3 feet on the floor and about 4 feet high).
"Liz, why are you crying?" Kai asked gently, seeing her eyes climb from the floor to his. It seemed to make her excited to see her brother there and her eyes dried.
"Kai I hurt all over…and I feel like I'm going to throw up," Elizabeth wined, holding her stomach with her arms tightly.
"Liz you have stay calm…I'm right here so don't worry about anything," Kai gave a small smile towards her which she returned softly.
"What are we going to do here…Kai I want to leave," Kai saw her body tremble with fear of the place and Kai reached over as best as he could and without pain to her cage and she grabbed onto his hand.
"We will Liz…you just have to wait" Kai gave a fake smile back to Elizabeth, hoping to himself that this nightmare would end soon.
"Touching…" Kai snapped his head away from Elizabeth and turned towards Boris smiling evilly down at them. In a sharp instant Kai pulled his arm back to his body, holding it tightly as it turned red and blood seeped through the fresh cut. Kai glared up to the man as Boris rolled the whip in his hands. Elizabeth coward back to the corner of her cage with fear as Boris snapped the whip on her cage bars.
"Back off Boris," Kai sneered angrily towards the man, his eyes burning. Boris gave a snicker at Kai. Reaching over, he unlatched Kai's cage and reached a hand into it to grab Kai around the neck. Kai gasped, instantly clawing at the man's arm as his airway got smaller and smaller. Boris held him to his height and looked into his eyes. Kai's feet could no longer feel the floor under him as he was at the mercy of Boris.
"You should watch your tongue Kai, I think I'll start seeing your training first" Something in Boris' eyes made Kai wish he hadn't talked as he tossed lifelessly to a guard standing in the hallway waiting. Kai started to cough and intake fresh air. Kai was tightly held in the guard's arms but Kai had no energy to fight against him.
"KAI!" Kai turned his half open eyes towards his sibling giving a small smile before he was taken out of the room and out of Elizabeth's view. Elizabeth curled her legs up to her chest and hid her head in her legs. She didn't know what to do as she was stuck alone in her cage.
:Kai:
Now where am I going? Kai thought as his eyes were starting to close, making himself to force them open to keep from going into the dark abyss. He gave up on the struggling as he was carried in his captor's arms right behind Boris. Kai scanned his eyes around, trying to remember anything in particular that he saw when he first arrived. Seeing nothing, he sighed and turned his attention back to his situation. Kai blinked. Buzzing caught Kai's ears, but this buzzing wasn't like a bumblebee buzz but something different. The noise got stronger and stronger as they continued down the hall. Kai and company entered a room, which made Kai's jaw dropped slightly. Tons of kids, mostly boys were inside of the room. The buzzing noise was it's strongest as Kai could also her clinging, cheers, and plenty of noises to keep his ears full. The kids were paired together over, what to Kai that is, a giant fruit bowl. But something there were something inside the bowl that made Kai eyes widen.
He's more memorized by the beyblades than I thought, Boris thought to himself, nodding to the guard to release the older Hiwatari to the ground. Kai continued to stare in aw at the blades, admiring them so much that he forgot where he was.
"Kai…do you like what you see?" Boris asked, with the older Hiwatari noticing his whereabouts finally, taking a defensive stance against the purple haired man. Boris gave a sarcastic chuckle and grabbed a fist full of blue hair. Kai hissed, immediately tried to pull away at the grip on his hair.
"No…I don't Boris," Kai stumbled out painfully. Boris brought down his goggled face to Kai's, while grinning largely. Kai painfully had on eye opened looking at the man while the other one was tightly closed in pain.
"Too bad Kai…you better learn to like it, because this will be your new life" Boris' goggles flashed dangerously, while his grin grew to cover his whole face with a evil expression. Kai's hair was released sharply, while the guard pushed him forcefully over to the group of training boys. Shoved in front of Kai's face was a launcher, ripcord, and a weak practice beyblade. Kai stared at it for a second before taking it into his hands.
"Follow the rest of the boys, any mistakes, attitude, or foolishness will be punished…Get to work Hiwatari." Kai watched the guard make his way back over to Boris and exited out with him. Kai looked around quickly, understanding the way of the machine and followed. Making a few errors around the way, but Kai quickly fixed them, being afraid of why guards around the group had whips for (Droopy: D Evil aren't I?). Hoping everything was all right with Elizabeth, Kai continued to do what will become his life, like Boris said.
:Elizabeth:
Staring out of her cell started to get boring to her as she watched people once and awhile walk out and in to the room. Sighing, Elizabeth looked down at her feet sadly. She wished she had any clue regarding the whereabouts of her brother. Wrapping her arms around her, she rubbed her arms for warmth until he cage was quickly opened and red eyes glared down at her. Elizabeth gave a loud screech and crawled into the corner of her small cage. Boris grabbed her by her hair and dragged her out, not caring about her screams. He threw her out, letting her give a loud thump on the wall when her head hit. Elizabeth grabbed her head tightly, giving off a cry of pain as her vision swirled, swayed, and blurred.
"Get up you weakling." Boris spat, as Elizabeth slowly crawled her way up the wall and into a wobbling stance. As much as her head hurt, Elizabeth feared the man and what he would do. Boris grabbed her roughly on the shoulder and pushed her forward from the wall and through the door. Elizabeth lost her balance for a quick second but regained it as soon as Boris came out.
"Follow me," Elizabeth waited until the man was a bit in front of her and followed him. She looked at his feet, as she only was only a few inches above his knee and looking at him face to face made her neck hurt.
Why am I alone? Elizabeth thought, looking around. There's usually guards or something near me whenever I'm in here…but this time there's no one…just him. Elizabeth looked up a bit, and looked at the man. He seems…dazed. Elizabeth didn't understand his ideas about them walking together but it started to freak her out. Boris' face had on a large grin; his eyes glanced down at the younger Hiwatari as she looked side to side, taking in her surroundings. She was lead around the area, passing more and more doors than what she had seen in the first time she looked around. Boris turned into a room leaving Elizabeth frightened to enter. She knew if she ran they would catch her and if she entered…who knows what would happen. She had to enter otherwise it would just prolong her misery. Elizabeth stiffly entered, taking her in her environment with great caution. To her surprise, the whole room was just stone, nothing in it besides a cupboard.
"Enter young Hiwatari," Boris slurred to her. She moved in past the door, which slid shut behind her with a strong breeze and a slam. She gasped and began to panic. The evil grin on his face grew as his hand sunk into the cupboard drawer and out came a whip. Elizabeth gave a screeched and dashed around the room with her blue eyes. There was no area to hide, run, or even escape from. The snap from the whip echoed around the room like a broken stick. Boris rubbed a hand on the handle of the whip, his eyes full of darkness and evilness. Elizabeth backed the farthest away from him, her body glued to the wall with fear. He walked forward in a rather slow pace, allowing the suspense to grow and her heart pound faster. Elizabeth was afraid to move. She wished her brother or someone that could get this man away from her was present. Elizabeth watched in slow motion as he brought the whip above his head and struck her across the stomach. Her eyes widen and let out a shriek. Time caught up to her as the whipping continued, each one after the one before was worse. Her screams and shrieks erupted through the whole area. The flaming pain soon covered her body from head to toe and it seemed that there was not time when he would quit. She felt like her body had gone numb, with the burning pain causing her body to shoot out with red marks and some even starting to bleed. The blood against her back felt like hot magma dripping out of the cavity of a crater. Elizabeth had lost count of the whips; her screams had disappeared as her eyes drooped. She could no longer scream as the pain muted her voice. Though, suddenly the burning stopped, and she could finally feel a slight breeze on her back.
"You lasted longer then I thought…," Elizabeth tilted up her head as much as she could until she stared Boris in the eyes. Something had changed in her eyes, the deep blue eyes that she had normally had had turned a bit more black in the center. Elizabeth couldn't last any longer, her body exhausted and in pain, shivering from the cold, and the thought of dying slowly came to her mind. She fell forward, her eyes closing and lie flat on the floor, unconscious.
:Kai:
Kai had progressed to the physical part of the training, though he seemed slightly enjoyed about it. Kai didn't understand why or for any reason did a idea popped in his head. Voltaire watched from a nearby one-way glass window from the side, his eyes focused mainly on Kai.
He has the sprit of a phoenix…His father had seen it as well. His sprit is free, soft, and even at times vulnerable. Kai cannot show any of those emotions. He is the only one that can truly take on the task of mastering the dark beast and helping my plans in taking over the world. No one else has that potential to do this. Not even the top trainees or even his sister. Only him……Voltaire thought to him self. His eyes were scanning the boy's progress as he continued to complete the tasks with ease. He knew that his son knew that he would be perfect to be the next heir to the phoenix but Voltaire had other plans. He will be mine…and he'll only be controlled by me and use the dark phoenix to take over the world. Just you wait Kai, you will be mine and you have no one to help you. Voltaire turned around and looked as the door opened. Boris walked in with his cape floating behind him and gave a respectful bow to Voltaire.
"My lord, she had passed the training," Voltaire seemed to narrow at his eyes towards Boris and his face scrunched.
"She did? I thought you said she wont be able to get though that and our problems would be released," Voltaire hissed making Boris to back off a bit.
"I'm sorry sir…but…she passed it. I do have to say that it did change her," Boris said rather quickly hoping to pursue the older Hiwatari's mind. He made some 'hmm' noises in his throat before turning around at Kai once more.
"Keep them both apart for the time being, maybe if this 'change' continues…we could use her. Put her with the wolf," Voltaire said and turned his back on to Boris and back to his grandson. Boris nodded and turned away sighing in relief. Voltaire continued to narrow his eyes on Kai. He had become a professional to the training already and he seemed oblivious to the whole point his parents are dead, his sister is away from him, and he's just doing what he's told, in a way he doesn't care. He is defiantly the one.
:Elizabeth:
She woke up groggy and in pain. Her eyes were still tired and begging to droop shut but she resisted. Her whole environment was different as she looked up onto a bottom of a bunk bed. She gazed around and noticed that there were tons of bunk beds around on each side of her. She sat up with immense pain and burning sensation but she bit her lip and shrugged it off. Besides the long rows of beds, which were covered in green wool blankets, there were only a few windows. The windows had bars over them, dimming out the light that entered the room (and other reasons Elizabeth thought). It was dead empty and no in sight. The dark rock walls were lame as any of the other walls around this area and Elizabeth continued to wonder where this was still. Suddenly there was a movement from the bed above her and shuffling of sheets. Elizabeth began to panic thinking the worse.
What if its someone bad…or…or this is all a dream…or…Elizabeth thought was cut short when a blob of red hair and blue eyes looked down at her. She blinked and blinked again, He doesn't look mean…she thought, coking her head at him. He was one of the only boys she had seen here that looked friendly as well as innocent like her. Elizabeth struggled to have her voice be heard but she managed a few words.
"Who...who…are you…?" He looked at her and smiled and began talking in Russian, confusing Elizabeth.
"I'm sorry…I don't know Russian that much, I'm still learning it" He seemed to get the meaning of her sentence and jumped down, throwing out a hand. Elizabeth blinked and looked at the boy. He was about Kai's size, a bit on the muscular side, as well as pale skin like a ghost. She didn't know what to expect of him…except he was brought here by force too. His pointy fire hair was covered in dirt along with his whole body. He had a few scrapes here and there with just a large one on his hairline that seemed like it healed a while ago (A/N:winks: Guess who?). He dressed in an orange and white jumpsuit-Elizabeth wanted it seeming as he was warm in it and she was freezing in her clothes-and some white boats. He seemed friendly enough, but Elizabeth didn't want to make any chances with him yet. Elizabeth almost dropped her jaw as he began talking to her in fluent English with just a small accent.
"Your probably still wondering who I am and am I part of this scary place aren't you?" He said cautiously. Elizabeth still had her jaw open and gave a slight nod. He laughed at her. "You seem like you have some pain in you, I suggest you lie down for awhile before anyone comes in here and does anything else" He said, sitting on the end of the bed. Elizabeth looked at him again, confusing herself more then she could ever do in a normal day.
"Um…why are you here?" She questioned to the boy, slightly confused about this niceness as she had only meet one person nice to her in this whole place.
"I'm here because I have no where else to go," He began, slightly bowing his head, "My parents died in a fire awhile ago and I was left on my own. I refused to go to the orphanage so I ran away from everyone. Though it was stupid on my part since I soon began hungry and the snow kept coming down. I was lucky to come across this place and they took me in. I don't know what they're doing in here…even if it's bad, I have a home now," He said making Elizabeth more curious.
"Do you know where here is?"
"We're probably in the middle of Siberia in Russia. Why do you ask," He questioned.
"My brother and I were taken away from our parents by that man…Boris…and I want to leave," Elizabeth slightly realized something. "Have you seen my brother…he's taller than me, blue hair, crimson eyes, and kinda stubborn?"
"No…sorry, I haven't seen anyone like that in here," Elizabeth sighed. "Now, can you tell me about your story besides that you were taken here by Boris?" He added to Elizabeth.
"Well…our grandfather came over to our house with all these men and so Kai and me ran upstairs to hide. But then we were founded and so we tried to run again. When we got downstairs and to the door, we were taken here and to find that our mommy and daddy were killed," (Note: Little Kid talking…need little kid talk XD). Elizabeth looked up as his hand patted her hand.
"Yea…it seems you've had a bad time too," Elizabeth nodded mumbling out a few words.
"I bet Kai is worse…," He looked at her slightly and blinked.
"Why do you say that?"
"He's probably alone…" He gave her a pat on the hand again and smiling.
"The names Tala," Elizabeth looked out and cocked her head.
"Ohh…," She stumbled on what he was saying but then remembered that he was saying his name, "My names Elizabeth, but you can call me Liz or Lizzy because my name is way to long to say," she laughed, giving off a smile. He smiled after her.
"Ok, I'll stick with Liz alright? I don't really have that many names in Tala except Tal," He chuckled to her and they laughed together despite the cold, unwanted, abbey they were in.
:Kai:
Kai wiped more of the sweat that was on his face, still memorized by the action that he had all day. He didn't seem tired while he was thinking about the beyblades but somewhere inside of him was telling him to stop thinking about them. He ignored that feeling and walked out with the other trainees before being pulled back by a large, gloved hand.
"How was training young Kai," Boris sneered down at him, large grin present on his face. Kai was clueless on what his real objective with him but he simply nodded in a confused manor. "Good, good… I'm sure you'll love beyblading."
"Bey…blading?" Kai mouthed out. He seemed thrilled that it had a name and also liked the whole sport of spinning the blades and knocking your opponent out. He loved the feeling of winning; it was like a new passion to him. Boris looked down at the young boys face with a pleased smile. He had done it. Kai was now fixed onto the sport and became into Boris' hands.
