Hi again. I'm sorry for the delay, I haven't really had much time to update this. But anyways here's the chapter so enjoy.

18 Kai's Mistake

Kai's eyes suddenly flew open, he had awoken from a nightmare and it was now 2 in the morning.

He looked around and saw his mother and she said in her calm soothing voice, "Hello Kai did you have a good sleep?"

"Not really Mom I kept having nightmares."

"You're worried about your sister aren't you?"

"Yes."

"I know where she is I can help you rescue her my son."

"I know too Voltaire has her."

"Yes I'll help you save her."

I know what Andy said last night was true but Mom is here to help me and the longer we wait the more Kayla will suffer, Kai thought trying to decide what to do and then said, "Alright Mother I'll follow you."

With everyone else asleep he quietly got out of bed and followed his mother out of the house. It was a cool peaceful night with a full moon shining in the dark starry sky. Kai and his mother ran through the streets as not to waste any time only stopping in front of Voltaire's mansion.

They sneaked inside not wanting to be seen and his mother led him to the lab room where his sister was being held. Adella opened the door and Kai saw his sister lying in the centre of the room on her stomach with her back bloodied from whip marks.

Her eyes were closed and he ran over to her and said, "Sis wake up I've come to get you out of here."

Kai heard something at the door and turned around to look back at where he had left his mother.

She then entered the room and said to her son, "Come here Kai."

"What about Kayla?"

"She'll be alright nothing is going to happen to her."

He did as he was told and went over to where his mother was. She embraced him and he calmed down a little feeling the cool touch of his mother's arms. Voltaire stepped out of the shadows holding the same long needle that he used on Kayla the day before.

"I've been waiting for you Kai I knew that you couldn't leave your sister here to suffer but her misery will be over soon," Voltaire said with an evil smile plastered on his face.

"Leave me alone," Kai yelled at his grandfather.

"Adella hold him, make sure the boy doesn't run off."

"Yes," she said to Voltaire.

"Mother why are you helping him?"

"Shh Kai everything will be alright. Just calm down there's nothing to fear."

"But Mom I don't want that needle it frightens me."

"Everything will be alright this will all be over soon."

Kai had quieted at his mother's words but he was very scared and now Voltaire was right in front of him with the sharp point of the deadly needle by his arm. The cold dark liquid was injected through his left arm and Kai could feel a surging pain throughout his entire body. Adella let go of her son and he just stood there from the effects of the drug.

Why can't I move? Damn it this must be what Andy warned me about, Kai thought in anger.

Kayla slowly opened her eyes and got up off the floor seeing her brother standing there she said, "You put that drug into him didn't you Voltaire?"

"Yes I did and now you're brother will be the obedient little boy he's supposed to be."

"What are you going to do to him?"

"Well seeing how your life is almost over I'll tell you. I'm going to erase his memories so he will forget all of you. Then he will be the warrior he was trained to be and he'll help me take over the world."

I don't want to forget my friends, I wouldn't forget them even if he is able to erase my memories, Kai thought.

"Now my grandson kill your sister."

He didn't want to but he was in Voltaire's power now and didn't have a choice. He took a small gun that Voltaire held out for him and aimed for the gut. Kayla had been standing for a little while now but the force of the bullet caused her to fall down on her back and black blood oozed from the hole in her stomach.

The effects of the drug left Kai's body from the shock of what he had done. Even though he knew what his grandfather planned to do to him he didn't care anymore now that he had killed his sister.

"Come boy," Voltaire ordered him.

He looked at his mother with tears in his eyes and a confused look on his face.

"The pain will be gone soon. Go with your grandfather Kai," she told her son.

Obediently he listened not really caring and thinking about what had happened, It's my fault she's dead. If I had listened to what my friends said then none of this would have happened and she would still be here. Even if it was that stupid drug that made me do it it was still my hands that pulled the trigger of the gun.

When he had come back to reality Kai was now in a room near Voltaire's office with lots of wires and a big computer in the middle. Voltaire had Kai hooked up to the wires but the boy didn't care what his grandfather did to him now, he was disgusted with himself for what he did. The old man pushed a button on the computer and Kai felt a surge of electrical energy course through his body and he went unconscious. Numbers appeared on the screen to show how much memory had been taken from Kai. The numbers quickly rose as Kai's memory dropped and Voltaire sat down to watch his grandson's progress and wait.

Well there ya go I'll update more soon if I can. Seeing how I know this was a bad spot to end but it finishes the chapter well. Anyways please review and tell me what you think.
