My undivided attention
I keep running, crimson flashes clouding my vision as tears roll freely down my cheeks. At this point I don't care if my reputation is ruined, all I care about is saving Tyson from the malevolent grasp of that lavender haired Demolition Boy.
I pray that he will be ok when I turn the corner to get into the lift. I wait for a small amount of time outside the lift doors, before I take the stairs impatiently. Various people ask me if I'm ok on the way there, but I don't listen and I keep running.
I don't stop, time is the factor and Tyson doesn't have a lot of it......
'Please, be ok Tyson.....just be ok......' I cry silently, darting up the last flight of stairs. I sprint down the hallway at the speed of light and when I reach mine and Tyson's door, I break it through with the force of my body.
"TYSON!" I scream frantically, my eyes darting around the room wildly, hoping for a glimpse of the midnight haired teen. The window is wide open as a gust blows in, and I realise what's already happened when there is no noise around me.
I fall to my knees, my crimson eyes frozen open and my face tear stricken. I collapse onto the floor, weeping my cold heart out.
I have to be cold, to let all this happen.....
"Kai? Hey, what's wrong Kai!" I hear a familiar voice behind me. A raven haired boy lifts me off the floor and his golden orbs stare at me with compassion, it's Ray who is closely followed by the blonde happy-go-lucky teen.
"No......he....." I murmur, salt droplets trickling down my face.
"What is it Kai, where's Tyson?" Max asks me, kneeling down next to me along with Ray.
I stare at the floor, my mind clouded with terrifying images and sounds.
I see Tyson laying in a dirt filled room, everywhere is darkness until a crimson haired blader emerges from the bleak mist. Tala. The red head laughs, pulling out a knife from his pocket as the midnight haired boy can barely keep his eyes open. He's terrified, but he can't show it because he's too exhausted. He tries to back away as the blader approaches him, grasping the dagger firmly in his malicious hand.
"No....no, please....." he gasps, fighting for breath amongst the murky area he's surrounded by.
"Don't worry, red is a nice colour....don't you think?" Tala laughs aloud, his snigger echoing around the dank chamber malevolently. He flicks his scarlet bangs back, almost straight above the trapped boy.
He raises the dagger above him, grinning maliciously. He brings it down.....
"Kai, Kai! Where's Tyson?" Max repeats, shaking me gently.
I hesitate, before replying;
"They took him...."I whisper softly, my face tear stained as I reply, emotionless.
"Who? Who took him, Kai?" Ray questions, trying to be as gentle as possible.
"T...Tala....." I manage to say, my eyes staring at the floor still.
"Look, there's a note!" Max tells us, although I am still partly out of this world, replaying the images over and over again in my mind.
This is all my fault.....
The blonde picks up a slightly torn piece of paper pinned to the bed, and begins to read it out loud.
"It says: 'Kai, we've taken Tyson and we know that you want him. So because we're the caring people that we are...'"
This part infuriates me more than any other.
Max continues, "'We will give you a chance to get him back.....'"
My ears perk up at this, I turn to Max and plead with my eyes for him to carry on. He sees me and continues reading the letter aloud.
"'This is what we want you to do, Kai....you have three chances to find where we are. If, on the third chance, you fail....'"
I stare at Max as Ray holds me by the shoulders, gazing with me.
"'If you fail, then Tyson dies....'"
The room falls deadly silent, I hang my head slowly as one more single tear escapes my eye. I swiftly stand up though, startling Ray as he falls back and Max looks closer at the note.
"K...Kai....tell us, what's happened? Why do they want to kill Tyson? I don't understand this at all....." Ray confesses softly.
"They're mad at me, for leaving the team....they know that....."
Oh crap.
They don't know about my feelings for Tyson yet.
"They know what, Kai?" asks Ray, looking closer at me as my back is turned from him.
"They know that I'm in love with Tyson....." I whisper gently.
Max suddenly looks up from the note at this, Ray has his mouth gaped open and I can feel their eyes baring into me, judging me.
"Look, I have to go and find him. And I have to do it now...." I say, before heading for the door.
"Wait, Kai! There's more...." Max tells me, which makes me turn back round almost immediately.
"What? What is it?" I question frantically.
"It says they will send you three clues, one every day to where their location is. But apparently they won't be simple and you will have to be patient....."
"Well.....what kind of clues? When will they arrive?" I exclaim, petrified and hysterical.
"It doesn't say anymore, Kai. But just relax, okay?" Max whispers to me, he must be a little afraid as well. In fact, he's probably as horrified as I am.
But he hides it well.
"I'm sorry, okay? But I can't relax! I have to do something, I can't bear to think what's happening to him right now.....I...." I cut myself off, I'm acting so selfishly.
"C'mon now, guys. We know that Tala won't do anything now, so can we all just calm down and think this through logically?" asks Ray. He's taking it all in so calmly, but how can he?
How CAN he?
Max throws the note onto the floor and sits on the bed, Ray stands up from the floor and then sits beside him. A brisk wind passes through the window once again and the room is dead silent; Ray stares at the floor, furrowing his brows as if trying to solve a puzzle. Max looks horrified, his eyes are fixed open like mine were when I stumbled into the empty room.
Now I have to be strong.
Tyson will need me to be strong.
Meanwhile......
"Hey, wake up sleepy head......" a red head whispers softly, gently tugging on the arm of the sleepy boy.
The boy furrows his brows and shifts onto his side, moaning quietly as his eyes open slowly. A few strands of his midnight blue bangs fall over his face and his chocolate brown eyes gaze upon a familiar face above him, smiling tenderly.
"T.....Tala?" the blue haired boy questions delicately, focusing his vision.
"Yes, it's me Tyson. Don't worry, you're perfectly safe....." the scarlet haired teen replies, running his pale fingers through his long, silky tresses sensitively.
"But....where am I? Why am I here, and where are my friends?" he asks sweetly, so purely and innocently. His naivety shimmers in his eyes as he awaits a response from the older boy.
"Shhhh.....you're here, with me. We saved you from those nasty people who used you and treated you badly, we're your friends, Tyson...." He replies, lying through gritted teeth.
"We?" he enquires, not fully understanding the situation.
Three other boys then emerge from the shadows, smiling as gently as purely possible. Bryan, Spencer and Ian. They walk up to Tala and kneel down with him, in front of Tyson.
"Remember? We're all your friends now, and we're going to take good care of you. You can't trust anyone else....." Bryan whispers into the juvenile's ear.
Spencer and Ian nod at this statement, as does Tala as they stare at the midnight haired boy. Slowly but surely, Tyson nods with them and becomes their so called 'friend' instantly.
"Good boy...." Tala speaks, taking the younger boy into his arms. Tyson doesn't struggle, but actually nuzzles into his shirt feeling his warmth.
"We should get him to his room, Tala......" Spencer says, standing from the floor.
"Yes, he's right, I've made it up the way you asked me to, Tala," Ian adds, getting up from the floor with Spencer. His blue hair shimmers slightly under the faint light of the room as he awaits Tala's response.
"Yes, good idea," the crimson haired teen replies, tugging Tyson to his feet. "Come on now, friend.... we've got a lovely room for you, you're going to love it with us..."
"Yeah, I'm going to love it with you...." Tyson replies almost robotically, his normal, lively voice stolen by a new emotionless one.
Tala holds onto Tyson's hand as they walk down a long corridor, dim lights trying desperately to brighten the dull hallway as they approach a particular chamber. On the door there is a plaque, which reads: 'Guest'.
Bryan opens the door and switches on a light on the left wall, a dusky radiance flickers and then turns on completely, although the light is not too bright. In the room is a small grey mattress, a single sheet covering it pathetically. Apart from that, there are hardly any other objects in the room except for a little mirror hung loosely on the wall.
This is what they call being a friend?
"Here you go, Tyson.....it's your very own room!" Tala told him happily, brainwashing him into thinking that this was luxury.
"Wow.....all this for me?" Tyson asks sweetly, his russet orbs dancing excitedly as he scanned the contents of the room.
"Yes, all for you," Tala answers, stealing a glance at his fellow team mates who smirk malevolently.
"Thank you!" the blue haired boy exclaims, but not too loudly. He hugs Tala lightly and walks into his new room, admiring what he believes to be beauty.
"My pleasure, friend....." Tala whispers, before closing the door and locking it.
The ruby haired teen then leads his team away from the room, sniggering softly as they advance to a different chamber. Tala opens the small wooden framed door and walks into a luxurious room; there are four large four poster beds with hanging drapes and thick mattresses, a wide screen t.v and even a drinks cabinet.
This was what Tyson was missing out on.
But he doesn't know it, he doesn't know anything anymore......
Bryan walks over to the drinks cabinet and pours himself a large vodka, swigging it hurriedly as Spencer and Ian slump onto a large sofa. Tala hums to himself as he fetches something from the kitchen, stepping back into the living room and taking a seat on a large wooden chair.
"What have you got there, Tala?" asks Bryan, pouring another vodka.
"Hn," he sniggers, revealing a small but sharp knife. "Just a little present I got for our new friend......"
Spencer and Ian turn to look at him, smirking maliciously. Spencer runs his hand through his blonde bangs and sighs, leaning into the comfort of the sofa. Ian continues to watch Tala examine the blade.
"So what are you planning to do with that?" Ian speaks up, intrigued by the behaviour of his team captain.
"Oh, not a lot really..... he'll be doing the damage himself....." Tala replies calmly, turning the knife to the side and back again, examining it carefully.
"Like self harm, you mean?" questions Bryan, after taking another glass of vodka down his throat.
"Precisely....." Tala smirks, his cerulean orbs dancing and shimmering with amusement.
"So does Tyson actually remember anything about the kidnapping?" Spencer asks from where he sits, eyes closed, on the couch.
"Well, the incense I used was quite strong......he will probably remember more now, but over the next few days he'll lose more and more of his memory....." Tala replies, smirking.
"And say if Kai finds out where we are......? Will we give Tyson back?" asks Ian.
Tala flicks his scarlet tresses back, placing the knife on a nearby table and he stands up, laughing.
"That's the beautiful part....." he begins. Spencer opens his eyes and looks up at his team captain, Bryan and Ian also wait to hear his response eagerly. "With Tyson's memory slowly fading, and his loyalty to us growing.....even if Kai DID find us...."
"Oh!" Bryan exclaims, clicking his fingers, "He won't want to go back!"
Tala smiles triumphantly, "Exactly. And this will destroy Kai more than a dagger or a gun ever could.....knowing that Tyson doesn't want to be with him......"
"I have to say, Tala.....you really have outdone yourself this time!" Spencer compliments him, smiling.
"And, even better....." Tala continues.
The room goes silent, as the other Demolition Boys members wait for Tala to speak.
"It will destroy Kai even more.... if Tyson is in love with somebody else....."
