19 Saving and Losing A Friend
Ray awoke and saw his sister sleeping then he looked over at Kai's bed and saw that it was empty.
Kai must have gotten up pretty early to be out of bed it's 6 am, he thought as he went down the stairs.
"Mornin Tom. You know where Kai is?"
"Still sleeping I suppose the boy did have a rough night."
"No he isn't his bed's empty,"
"Are you sure Ray?"
"I'm positive," Ray said and ran back up the stairs into the bedroom and said, "Sis wake up?"
"Dad let me sleep a bit longer."
"Andy now's not the time for fooling around. Kai's missing I think he went to save his sister."
"What? That idiot I can't believe that he would do such a stupid thing as to go off on his own."
"So Andy are we going to go get Kai and his sister?"
"Of course we are do you have to ask such a stupid question?"
"Umm-"
"Oh come on Ray, let's go already," Andy told her brother and they left the house.
Kai awoke feeling the pounding throb of a nasty headache and asked, "What happened grandfather?"
Voltaire lied, "You bumped your head so I brought you to your room. Do you remember anything Kai?"
"No."
Perfect, my little experiment worked and now he's mine again, Voltaire thought
Walking through the mansion Andy asked, "Hey Ray don't you think that it's too quiet here?"
"Yeah we should have seen someone by now. This mansion is huge how are we supposed to find them in this place?"
"I don't know but let's see if we have any luck with this room," Andy said as she opened the door to the lab and found Kayla's body covered in blood.
Andy went over to where the girl lay and checking her pulse she said, "Don't look so sad Ray she's alive but just barely. Do you still have those bandages with you?"
"Yeah here, the bleeding has to be stopped if she is to survive. I wonder why some is red and some is black though," he said as he handed Andy some bandages.
Together the two of them bandaged the bleeding cuts up as best they could and picked her up.
"We'll get her home I just wish I knew where Kai is," Andy said as they ran through the halls to the exit but they were stopped by Voltaire.
"Little pests like you must be stopped. Now hand over the girl so I can kill her properly," he said.
"We don't have to listen to you old man and we aren't going to give up Kayla without a fight," Ray and Andy said to the man in defiance.
"If you want a fight then a fight is what you'll get. I know you would hurt me but I doubt very much that you two would want to hurt your friend."
Ray asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Kai take care of these intruders," ordered Voltaire.
"You don't want to hurt us Kai we're your friend," Andy said to him.
"I don't have any friends. How do you people know my name I've never met you before?"
"This isn't funny Kai," Ray added.
Andy asked "Yeah Kai you've always hated Voltaire so why are you listening to him?"
"Because he is the only person that I know. Now will you people just leave me alone."
"He doesn't remember us how can Kai not know us," Andy asked feeling hurt.
"Now Kai kill them," Voltaire ordered him getting angry.
Kai held a gun ready to fire but then threw it to the ground and said, "I'm sorry grandfather I can't do it."
While Voltaire was shocked and angered at his grandson's disobedience Andy and Ray took their chance and made for the door. They got outside into the cool morning breeze and ran all the way to Tom's house still carrying Kayla's motionless but alive body.
When they reached his house Tom asked, "Are you kids alright, where is Kai?"
"Kai's gone," Andy said through tears.
"But sis we'll get him back," Ray said trying to comfort her.
"No we won't I saw his eyes. They were cold and distant, lost of all emotion except confusion, not filled with the fire of anger and hatred nor warm with love and happiness."
"Whatever Voltaire did to him Kayla can tell us when she wakes up. Can you help her Tom?"
"I'll do what I can but it will take some time for her to recover."
"Tom why do Kayla and her brother bleed black?" Ray asked wanting to know the answer.
"That happens when a wound is serious enough for them to lose magic. The magic is in their blood turning it black and if they lose all of it then they will perish. Kayla still has some strength in her but she is very weak and close to death."
With that said Tom took Kayla to his room so he could begin healing her leaving Andy and Ray alone.
There you go and I hope that you enjoyed it. Thanks for being patient and I wish that you'll be patient with me in the future seeing how I've got a lot of homework to do this week with crashed computers at home. Please review I always love the feedback.
