Hi everyone. Thanks for the great reviews. This chapter has a little bit from Harry Potter in it which does not belong to me. It belongs to JK Rowling. It fit the story so I decided to use it. Enjoy the chapter.
8 Needles
A dartlike needle whizzed by from the bushes and hit Kai in the forehead injecting a dark liquid into his body. Kai had been frightened of these as a child because they had made him do things that he didn't want to do. Why was I so careless? I should have know that Voltaire's spies were watching me, Kai thought as he went unconscious trying to fight the substance that was now coursing throughout his body. Then a man popped out of the air and Ray asked him, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" "My name is Tom and Kai is my nephew. As for what I am doing here Kayla called me saying that you could use some help." Tom picked up his nephew and drew a gun from his pocket saying the spell to activate the portkey. Then he said, "I'm not going to hurt you. All you children have to do is touch it and you will end up in my house." Andy and Ray were a bit nervous and didn't know if they could trust this man but Kayla noticed this and said, "Come on guys you can trust him. My uncle wouldn't hurt us." One by one they all touched the gun and as Tom had said they ended up in his house.
They were in a nicely furnished living room and Tom placed his nephew on the couch. "So this is where you live huh Kayla," Ray said. "Yeah, it beats living with Voltaire and Tom's pretty nice." "Tom what are those darts?" Andy asked concerned for Kai's well being. "They contain a drug which is very dangerous," He pulled out the dart from Kai's head so that the substance couldn't flow through his body anymore and carefully held it at the end making sure not to touch the point, "You children don't know the reason why they are dangerous but you shall, make sure that you don't touch the point or you will suffer the same fate as Kai. Remember that these belong to Voltaire, he had scientists craft them for his evil purposes. I have stolen some from my father that I have studied, knowing that he has used this trick on my nephew many times in the past. The drug that is contained in them can bend the will of a person's mind to make them do his bidding." "So what you're saying is that these things are a way for Voltaire to control the mind and now he has Kai under his control," Andy said to clear the question from her mind. "That is exactly what I'm saying. Though I'm not quite certain to how long the effects last since I have never actually seen my father use these before but Kai has a strong will and may last longer than our enemy thinks." "Kai looked kind of freaked from the dart. Why was that?" Ray asked worried about his friend. "Well Ray that would be because when we were kids Voltaire had a bunch of experiments done on us. I wasn't able to see my brother but I still knew what was happening to him and most of the experiments done on Kai had something to do with drugs and needles that inflicted pain and my brother has developed a fear of them." While they were talking Kai had left and noticing this Tom said, "The time for talk is later. What does Voltaire want Kai to do?" "He wants him to kill my Mom," Andy said also noticing the empty couch. "Then go and bring back my nephew before it is too late.
Andy and Ray barged through the door to their house with Kayla and Ray called, "Mom we're home and Kayla's with us." "Yes come on in I could use your help with this little brat in the kitchen," she called back to them. Kayla was about to ask a question when Andy said, "Kayla keep your brother busy as long as you can. You're his little sister and he would never hurt you. While he's distracted Ray and I will explain what's going on to our mother." "You know Andy you sounded a bit like Kai just now the way you took charge of the situation like that," Kayla said and Andy gave a quick blush at the comment. Then the three of them set out to do the task at hand. "Hey bro how about a battle?" "I don't have time for games. Leave me alone Kayla." "Hey guys no good. My stupid brother is just way too stubborn and he won't listen to a word I say with that drug in him. Protect your Mom there's nothing more I can do." Kai began to hack at Andy and Ray's mother once again with a sword that his grandfather had given him for the job. The effects of the drug had already worn off but there was a side-effect that they did not know about and something within Kai was enjoying itself far too much to quit fighting. The three of them looked into Kai's eyes and saw an evil gleam to his mahogany gaze. Kayla had seen this look on his face before and she didn't like it one bit. I remember that look from when we discovered our magic and Kai had tried to kill our father. He lost control of the evil dwelling deep within him and now it happened again, she remembered and said, "Andy, Ray look out, Kai wants to kill and he won't stop until your Mom is dead." They got out of the way just in the nick of time as Kai brutally sliced off the head of their mother and it rolled to the floor. Then Kai turned around and jabbed Andy in the shoulder with his weapon. Bright scarlet blood poured out of the wound and stained the tile floor as Andy fell into her brother's arms too weak to stand. Then Kai fell into his sister's outstretched arms having been released from the demonic power inside him.
Kai sat up looking around the dark, quiet room in his uncle's house taking in his surroundings. He was in bed, it was late in the night and everyone was asleep. Kayla was peacefully sleeping in the bed beside him while his two friends lay curled up in balls on the floor. Tom sat in a chair beside the bed and Kai asked him, "What're you doing still up?" "Someone had to be up to explain what happened. I doubt you remember much of it." "You're right I don't, so tell me what happened then." "For one thing my crazy father had a drug injected into your body, putting your mind under that lunatics control. Afterwards that demon inside of you took over and you killed the mother of your friends as well as giving Andy a nasty cut in the shoulder. Now get some sleep Kai." Kai couldn't sleep for a while because he was worried about Andy and thinking that they probably hated him now. At last he closed his eyes and fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.
I hope you all liked the chapter. You guys keep the reviews coming and I'll keep posting chapters. Thanks to all the support and please review.
