Chapter Four - Dressed As Service
The musty air of the Abby filled his nostrils, darkness flickering and playing with the dim lights that washed a small amount of light through the long yet wide hallway. It was so real feeling as Kai stood there back in the place he never wanted to be in again. He could feel Black Dranzer calling out to him, it's call strong and only growing more so. To Kai this couldn't be happening, he couldn't be here back at the Abby or back in Russia at that, it just wasn't physically possible, was it?
Then he turned, as if a dead end had made him stop even though the hallways just kept on going and going as far as the eye could see. Before him a pair of doors rested, thick wood making their forms as a light peeked out from under the doors. The feeling that came from behind the door was indescribable, but it sent chills of sullen fear down Kai's spine. Then he saw it; the symbol on the doors. He knew that symbol, remembered it somehow as if he had seen it before. It was a wolfish-looking creature with white fur, pure white fur and deadly black looking claws; blue fire crept over the whole animal that reared its head up to reveal deadly fangs.
Reaching his hands out to push the dark doors open Kai could feel his limbs start to shake. Something was wrong, and he knew it, but he wanted to know what was behind these bold doors before him. Stepping forward he put pressure onto the heavy wood. Slowly the forms parted, first revealing a sliver of light that blinded him until he pushed the doors all the way open with a single heave. Before Kai's crimson orbs clearly saw what was before him darkness once more took over, as if being hit in the back of the head and falling unconscious.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Kai shot up from bed, breathing heavily as beads of sweat trickled down his forehead and temples. He could feel single beads of sweat slowly trail down his neck and spine, slightly shivering at the feeling. Huddled at his legs was a white sheet, yet as his crimson orbs looked around all he saw was white; a white mattress, white walls, and a white ceiling. But he didn't fall asleep in the bed; rather he had fallen asleep in the chair. 'How did I get in this bed…What was that dream…Where is the girl!?' Quickly his thoughts raced, jerking back to reality from the rudely awakening dream and searching franticly around the medical room for Snowflake.
There she sat though, cleanly attired in a neatly fitting sleeveless shirt the color of sky blue that reached about an inch above the navel along with a loose pair of slate blue cargo pants. No socks were situated on her feet and no hair tie or clip holding her stark white hair out of her darkly skinned face. Snowflake was awake, sitting at the bay window seat in the medical room with her knees pulled up lightly and her arms bound loosely around them. Steel blue eyes gazed out of the pane of glass, seeming lost in thought until the sudden disturbance of Kai brought her to look at him blankly.
For a long time they both sat there, staring at each other in complete and utter silence. Crimson eyes were lost in the pools of steel blue; steel blue eyes lost in the globes of crimson. It was a trance, held by both but unable to be broken by both. What went through their minds was questionable, unable to be guessed as nothing registered upon their faces. Nothing was said, no other movements made leaving only breathing to show that they still lived and gave their hearts oxygen to survive.
Snowflake shifted her body, slipping her arms from around her legs and moving to stand on the cold white tiled floor of the medical room. The cold didn't seem to bother her, walking as if nothing in the world could stop her from doing what she had her mind set on. Kai's dark red eyes watched every movement she made, smacking himself mentally for memorizing every curve and ripple of muscle as the slightly younger teen approached him. Upon reaching the edge of the bed Snowflake drew out the rag, which had been placed upon her forehead from the now warm bowl of water. As if in complete understanding of what Kai was going through she smiled, a reserved smile that was as friendly as it was soothing. The rag was swept across Kai's face and neck lightly, wiping away the cold sweat that had been caused by his nightmare.
The look on Kai's face was as stern as ever, cold hearted and icy yet as he looked into Snowflake's eyes he could see the fight that was going on between the two torn personalities that were once together as whole before whatever Biovolt had done to her. The weaker side was winning, a confused and bewildered look over taking the once bold and stubborn understanding of what was about her. To Kai he could just see her collapse from the inside out, growing frightened and lost as the world before her became just another everyday puzzle to figure out.
The rag slipped from Snowflake's dark skinned hand, fingers trembling lightly as slow steps brought her away from the now standing up form of Kai. Soon she found her back pressed against one of the room's four white walls, whimpering a plea as if the older teen was going to hurt her. Steel blue eyes slid shut tightly, no tears coming but fear wracking her composure to a mess as her head turned to the side, memories over playing in her mind over and over. She remembered their voices, their wandering touches that shouldn't have been, and their husky voices as they forced her to be submissive to their wants. Right now that's the only thing that went thought her mind, 'It's going to happen again.'
'Biovolt really went all out on this… Those sick men that work for my grandfather. When the file said she was physically, emotionally, and mentally abused I didn't ever think that they'd do such a thing as to…force them selves upon her. It's sickening and down right wrong! No wonder why she's in such a fragile state and doesn't like when people advance on her or touch her.' Kai reached out, brushing away the strands of loose white hair that hung into Snowflake's face just as he had done earlier that day. He could see her flinch even when he didn't make contact with her skin against skin.
"Snowflake. Look at me. Snowflake look at me, now." To Kai's ears his words sounded harsher than he meant them, but the bewildered teen turned her head to face him with two steel blue eyes full of fear staring into his crimson globes. He dared to touch her, to caress her soft and dark skinned cheek with the back of his hand in a comforting manner. Being caring wasn't easy for him because he didn't know what exactly to do, but with all his might he tried to pull this frightened teen before him together.
"Listen to me, OK? I'm not going to hurt you, and that I swear on the honor as a beyblader. Do you understand me, Snowflake? I am not going to hurt you like Biovolt did." Kai saw the hurting look in the girl's eyes, knowing the realization of what he said stung her more than anything, but she needed to know the truth for herself. "Now look," he continued, "I am going to take you to your room. Your room and no one else's, alright? That means you can lock everyone out, just as long as you eat and don't hurt yourself. Do you understand? Snowflake, do you understand this and do you understand me?"
There was a pause, a gap in time almost before a soft and almost inaudible whimper came from Snowflake's throat only to be followed by a brief nod to show she understood. Still Kai hadn't heard the girl say a word since Mr. Dickenson had introduced her to the team, but a nod was better than nothing as he ushered the shaking girl towards the door and away from the wall she had been huddled against. As Kai stepped out the door he glanced back at Snowflake, watching her follow ever so timidly behind him. 'God she's so frightened that something is going to happen her, but with Biovolt after her I can understand..'
"You can hide behind me if you want if you want to be sure that you'll be safe and no one will hurt you. Kenny is probably busy with Tyson's father and Ray is more than likely doing who knows what. Come on…" Finally Snowflake followed behind, half burying her face into Kai's shoulder as they made their way down the hallway with Kai walking in the lead. The change from the white room to the colored hallway was pleasing; not too swift yet not too slow in its blending of pastel colors. The mansion was comfortable, even enough so to calm the stark white haired girl down as the two walked to her room; blues, blacks, and white coloring the large area she chose to be her room.
While the two walked down the hallway they passed the dinning room, one of the men who cleaned that room and a few others watching them walk by with well-hidden interest. Even Kai didn't notice him staring, simply walking past like any other day that he would be walking around the hallways of the mansion while trying to get his frustration off. Once the two were out of sight the tall and lanky man with dirty blonde hair and sky blue eyes shook his head, as if knowing something that the others didn't. Soon after he went back to work; sweeping the lush carpet of the dinning room.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
It had been around three in the afternoon when Kai had escorted Snowflake back to her room, but now it was well around seven and dinner was ready to be served. Every other night everyone would get together at the mansion and put their things aside to have dinner with each other. Tonight was pasta night, and the cook had readily prepared enough for the next few days if not more. There were rolls, vegetables, deserts, soups, rice, and several other small dishes that would've all put together fed a small army.
The table in the dinning room was rectangle based; yet no one sat at the heads of the table. On the right side sat Ray, Kenny and Tyson's father; on the left Kai and Snowflake who pulled herself together enough to sit at a regular dinner with everyone. No one was dressed fancy, just wearing his or her everyday normal clothes. To them the dinner together was just a normal thing, an excuse to catch up on things and inform each other on what was going on around the mansion and not. Here Ray would tell everyone about Max and Tyson who call frequently to find out what was going on while they were gone.
Time slowly passed yet soon one by one everyone started to excuse themselves from the table and head to bed. Soon only Kai and Snowflake were left along with a man who started cleaning up the plates and dishes. Back and forth he went, picking up plates of uneaten food and carrying then into the kitchen only to come back several times to pick up the dirty dishes. It didn't take long before the table was clean, freshly wiped down with a lemon scented wash.
Kai had said little all night, paying more attention to the girl who sat to silently beside him who also ate sparingly and just pushed her food around on her plate to make it seem like she had eaten more than she actually should have. He didn't really blame her though, seeing as she had gotten sick and vomited everything up earlier this morning. It was amazing really how quickly she had recovered from the coughing spasms that made her cough up blood from her lungs, yet when Kai listened to Snowflake's breathing it was as flawless as his own, calm and slow.
Slowly Kai stood from his chair, crimson eyes looking out the window that belonged to the dinning room as his feet carried him over to the sill. He couldn't take his mind off of the dark skinned girl who was suffering so much because of his grandfather; because of Biovolt. 'Whatever is causing her to be like this is wearing off because you can see the two sides fighting to become one rather than against each other to gain dominance. I feel responsible somehow…as if I could've prevented it. I just wish this was all over and I could go away to be on my own to think things out.'
The older teen was lost in thought leaving Snowflake to sit at the table bewildered, steel blue eyes gazing down at the clean table in front of her. Everything was a mess in her mind and inside her period, yet even as she slowly put things together she knew something was off and that something was wrong. What it was she couldn't quite say. A splitting headache started at her temples and traveled along her forehead then sinuses. Before she knew what was going on it was too late to fight back and resist. There was a clatter of a vase sliding off the table and shattering into a million pieces on the floor, yet as Kai whirled around to see what happened he saw no one. Snowflake was gone, an empty syringe resting next to her toppled over chair on the floor…Gone…
