Chapter Six- Answers To Questions
Once within the middle tent, the larger one of the three, Tala settled Snowflake down onto an already made bed with several comfortably blankets laid down. Her breathing was troubling, ragged yet still calm as she slept deeply. At the corner of her mouth was a spot of dark blood; nearly black in color which showed it came from the lungs. Tala knew these signs and was already quickly getting out a series of syringes from a black pouch made exactly for this kind of travel, keeping the delicate needles from being ruined. He could feel Kai's cold eyes watching his every move, but he couldn't help but to notice the concern that washed over his face. 'He is finally growing… Though he thinks feelings weak he has yet still to learn the truth.'
The tent was lit with a lantern in each corner, shadows playing along the gray material walls in a wicked illusion. In one corner where a lantern hung was a black suitcase-like book bag along with a good supply of food and water. Next to the bags of food and the suitcase was another case, smaller yet seeming valuable as it was securely shut; a laptop case. There were extra pillows and blankets in the other back corner, folded up and placed in a neat pile as if just waiting for someone to pull them out and use them.
With a curt nod Razor left the tent, as it was already deep into the night and everyone needed their rest. He commented about making a fire and cooking some stew before heading to bed, and Tala only nodded back with a slight smile. Kai was taken back by Tala's attitude, not really thinking Tala to be so nice or understanding about things of the such. But here he was, being as gentle as can be as he rolled Snowflake over onto her side and carefully pushed her lean body into a huddled position. Tala's delicate fingers moved down her spine, moving the shirt out of the way as a blue, green, and clear shot was injected in the same spot Kai had saw Tyson's father do. From there he let her sleep in her bloody clothes and blood tainted tan skin.
Noticing the look Kai was giving him and the stern glare he was receiving Tala made himself comfortable next to Snowflake's side, motioning for Kai to do the same on the other side. He planned to explain to Kai what he could, hoping the crimson eyed teen didn't go off on him and start a fight right here and now. "Kai… I know things haven't been the greatest between me, you, and the rest of your team. You see, I wasn't always like that; like the way I was at the tournament. After Tyson beat me I realized I had to change back to whom I really was, what this girl before us taught me to be like. That's why she reached out to me when you were holding her, she knows me. When you returned to Biovolt, Kai, they dismissed her from their studies because she was no longer valuable, or at least that is what they thought. Biovolt was testing a drug on her, which is why she is like she is now. The clear liquid I injected into her spine was the cure that they finally came up with. She should be back to herself soon, though she might still have an attack every now and then from the after effects of the drug Biovolt gave her. Do you understand this so far Kai?"
For a moment the deep red eyes boy didn't answer, staring at Tala slowly yet still bitterly. It took awhile for everything to sink in, yet he wanted to know more about what was going on. "Why did they choose Snowflake anyways? What's so special about her that Biovolt chose her to be one of their…students; experiment? And who the hell is Cynewolf and that man that the orange haired kid killed? I know Snowflake isn't her real name, and since you said you knew her while at Biovolt you should know it. Spill. I want to know everything after I was dragged all the way out here with you and your blue haired friend."
Tala made a quick glance towards the white haired girl, making sure the talking wasn't bothering her well-needed rest. With a slow sigh he turned his attention back to Kai, ready to answer some or at least most of his questions. "You'll have to get some of these answers from her when she wakes, like her real name and who Cynewolf is. As for choosing Snowflake from everyone else that Biovolt could've chosen from I can only say that she had something that they wanted so badly that they trained her, broke her, and pushed her harder than even you or me. The file that you were given says something about being pushed mentally, physically, and emotionally but that was only speaking lightly. I know she won't tell you this, despite how blunt she is, because it hurts so much. She was raped while with Biovolt, and that orange haired boy was one of the ones to do it more often than others. His name was Vulcan, I believe. As for the man that was killed his name was Sam, and he worked for Razor and me. Vulcan killed Sam and injected some kind of drug into Snowflake's system. She was set up for you to believe that she killed Sam, but everything didn't go to Vulcan's plan as Sam wasn't dead yet and told you the truth. From there you know the rest. If you want to know anything else you'll have to ask her when she wakes. Oh…I almost forgot… She doesn't like to talk, or rather since Biovolt made her take the experimental drug she won't say anything. It has been years since she has actually last spoken and I'm afraid that the drug, when it split her personality into two parts, gave her a shake that will be hard to calm down from."
Tala rose from his comfortable sitting place, stretching out slowly before his metallic blue eyes looked at the silent and stone-faced Kai. He know that Kai didn't want to have to deal with Biovolt all over again, but this time he wasn't alone, they all had to go through it. "Look I'm going to some food and I suggest you do the same, ok? From there I'm heading to get some sleep. Razor is on first watch, and you can bed in this tent to watch over Snowflake. Those blankets in the corner are for you. And no, you don't have to do any watch just yet. I'll give you a few days or so, but in about a week or until Snowflake recovers enough we're going to move again to a safer spot over on a deserted and unmarked island in the Pacific." With that Tala waved and headed out of the tent's opening, leaving Kai to think things out for himself and choose whether or not to stay. 'I hope he knows what he's doing…. Snowflake needs someone she can open up to and someone who can get her to speak again.. Kai is just the guy for the job; stubborn yet patient.'
Razor looked up through his blue bangs as Tala exited the Middle tent. Always he smiled, even if he was tired himself. A fire was started and burning in a makeshift fire pit, a pan of stew being held above the flames and welcome smells came from under its lid. "So what do you think about…what's his name…Kai? Can we trust him as well as you say we can around the girl? I mean she seemed pretty fragile when I saw her, but then again I don't know her like you do." Lifting the lid Razor stirred the stew; tender meat, potatoes, carrots, other vegetables, and a slightly spicy broth to go along with it.
With a shrug of his shoulders Tala settled down next to Razor at the fire, smiling back to his blue-eyed friend as he sat down on a large flat stone. The stew wasn't done yet so eh could wait to go to bed, the smells keeping him awake as his mouth watered. "He's trustable, and if I might add very concerned for someone I know he will deny that he doesn't care about. I saw the look on his face as clear as day, even if he tried to hide it. As for the girl being fragile she'll prove you wrong once she's back to herself. That drug that was put into her system didn't do any good for her. Maybe you will even get to see her bit beast Razor…Just maybe."
Inside the tent Kai heard the muffled words, but paid them no heed and didn't even bother to try to figure out what they were saying. His only concern right now was Snowflake and all the questions that went unanswered by Tala. He found himself reaching out to touch her face, smudged with blood yet still soft as before. Her skin was warm to the touch, yet not feverish as he pressed his palm to her forehead lightly while pushing away the strands of messy stark white hair. Even to Kai's touch the teenage girl didn't stir the slightest, looking to be quite content as she slept on. 'I don't know why I feel like I just have to protect her, to watch over her. I don't care about her, and feelings are weak….. Aren't they? What am I talking about, of course they are weak. I hate her. I hate everyone. They are no good for me….No good.'
With a barely heard sigh the older teen rose to his feet, gingerly stepping over the sleeping form of Snowflake and walking over to the corner full of folded blankets and pillows. Kai could feel the hot tears at the corner of his eyes, but he refused to shed them. To him it was just weakness to cry at all. Taking a few of the blankets he set them out so that they were resting folded long ways so that his back would be against the side of the tent and his feet pointing towards Snowflake. He had no intention of sleeping, only to watch over Snowflake and make sure Tala or Razor didn't harm her or himself. Placing a pillow up against the side of the tent Kai sat down, clothes still bloody and his mind lost to everything around his allowing salty tears to course down his face.
Kai was too lost in his swarming and confused mind to realize that Snowflake had awoken and was on her knees in front of him. He sat with his knees bent up lightly, head down and crimson eyes shut, but that didn't stop the tan skinned girl from moving closer. A light hand was reached out, less covered in blood than the other as she passed a gentle thumb under Kai's closed eyes to wipe away his tears before they hit his painted blue shark fins on his cheeks. As he jerked his head up he was met by the slow steel blue gaze of Snowflake, their globes only slightly hiding the worry that was obviously directed towards him. No longer were her eyes confused or bewildered, but clearly aware of everything around her and searching for answer to what made Kai shed tears.
It was too much for the teenage boy, pushing the girl's hand away rather viciously as a cold stare crossed his crimson eyes. There was a look of understanding from Snowflake as she backed away from Kai, not looking hurt from his rude attitude when she was only trying to find out what was bothering him. Turning towards the bags in the corner she started to go threw them, picking out a black tank top along with baggy red pants with an odd looking bit beast stitched in black on the lower right leg. Soon a bowel was pulled out along with a rag before Snowflake poured some water into it. Now standing on unsure legs she walked back over to Kai only to set the clothed in front of him along with the rag and water. With an easing look of calmness Kai watched as she turned around with her back to him, settling back down on her bad while pulling the laptop out of its case and to her.
"Is this for me to wash up with and change into?" Kai made sure to speak at least half way gently, not wanting to seem too harsh at this kind offer. He really didn't want to stay in bloody clothes from when he was shoved to the kitchen floor, and gratefully he was rewarded with a slow nod from Snowflake as she switched on the laptop and opened its top, everything starting to load quickly as she waited patiently. Without saying anything else, not even a thanks, Kai pulled off his dirty tank top, his scarf still gone, and threw it into an empty corner where he could pick it up later. From there he went to scrubbing his body clean of any blood that matted his skin of the upper body. Once sure each drop and smudge was gone the new black tank top was pulled on over his head only to follow the same suit of actions with his pants and throwing them in the corner wit his boots.
As if on cue Snowflake turned her head to meet Kai's gaze. After a moment she made a slight face, shifting herself so the laptop rested next to Kai and she was crawling over to be in front of him again. The rag was taken from the bowl, rung out, and passed across his brow hard enough to scrub away the bit of blood he couldn't see. With a satisfied look, but no smile along with it, Snowflake put the rag back into the bowl and pushed it away so they both wouldn't have to worry about knocking it over and having a mess to clean up inside of the tent.
"Snowflake… What's your real name?" Kai was perturbed to ask the stark white haired girl who only moved to grab the laptop at his question. Verbally the answer wasn't given, but he was guessing that all the answers he wanted was on a profile that no one had but herself and Biovolt directly. When Snowflake moved to sit in-between his bent legs and up against his chest he glared sharply. However she didn't cower away like others would, only settle herself there anyways as the screen of the portable computer was tilted so they both could see it. Though Kai didn't smile Snowflake knew better than to believe a mask that was commonly put on by people, and she knew him better than he thought.
With the laptop ready to go and awaiting to be used Snowflake typed away her commands, a coded screen coming up as she opened one file which was buried in about fifteen other files. Easily Kai could see what she was doing, the was she sat making it easy for him to see over her head and shoulders as she typed several things into the keyboard as the coded screen soon started to change. Sooner than later a normal reading document appeared, an obvious profile as Snowflake's picture flashed onto the screen along with all the information that one could wish to know about one person.
Kai squirmed lightly, a little uncomfortable but growing used to it as time passed. As the information appeared on the screen his attention was turned there, watching closely as Snowflake scrolled down past all the reports made by scientists and other people of the such. As the normal information like the name, height, weight, and such appeared she stopped scrolling down and took her hand from the button mouse, waiting for Kai to read what was on the page and allowing him to move on with more information or not. That's when he saw it, her full and real name and he couldn't help but to say it aloud so he knew what it sounded like on his own tongue. "Maximus, Alexis… The meaning in Greek means -Greatest Protector Of Man Kind-."
Further Kai read on, reading it aloud so that the information presented was more easily pressed into his mind. "Height: 5' Weight: 107 pounds Birthplace: Mountains of Western South America Bit Date: 5/23/???? They don't even know how old she really is, but I guess that doesn't matter to Biovolt. Both parents are alive but in cryogenic sleep at an unknown place. Parents were once workers for Biovolt until they quite and vanished, yet when found they took their child as well when they found out what was hiding inside her. Born with a bit beast's spirit inside of her Biovolt was determined to either use her or get it out of her to use for their own liking. Bit beast type is wolf… and its name is… Cynewolf." Kai was taken back by that. Cynewolf was her bit beast? Its spirit was inside of her and not the beyblade? He didn't understand what was going on, but he did understand why Biovolt wanted her now and why she had fangs like an animal.
Scrolling further downwards himself Kai caught his breath at the picture he saw of the bit beast Cynewolf. He knew that picture, it was in his dream. That room with the large doors and the white wolf on it, that was where Biovolt had kept her the whole time, secluded in that room while the scientists experimented on her and put her through hell. Now he saw clearly how much worse she had been put through, and he felt his stomach churn with disgust about what she had gone through and what had happened to her. Kai could feel himself about ready to get sick everywhere, lowering his head slowly only to find Alexis' shoulder there to seemingly comfort him. He felt the tears come, coursing freely down his cheeks as the painted blue shark fins smeared lightly with each salty tear. His strong arms wrapped loosely around her waist, uttering two soft words to her between his silenced sobs. "I'm sorry…"
The laptop was closed with a lick -click-, power being turned off as Alexis pushed the machine away to the floor next to them. It was better to cry and let it all go, and she knew that but she still comforted him anyways. He had understood her silence so much better than anyone else, as if unsaid words passed between them as their eyes met. With Kai resting his head on her right shoulder she lifted her right hand, running her slender fingers through his thick yet smooth hair as her fingertips massaged his skull and neck gently. He hugged her tightly, yet not tight enough to hurt or cause any discomfort. He was wanted it all to go away, for his grandfather and Biovolt to just vanish and the abbey be gone forever. Maybe now he could do that, with her help, with the loyalty of a born wolf.
Tala had stopped mid-way with a spoon of stew to his mouth, hearing soft sobs coming from the tent. He knew Snowflake didn't cry, but nether did Kai. 'Maybe I'm wrong…It has to be one of the two, I saw them both up and I heard Kai talking, but who is crying. It sounds more like Kai. This must be too much for him.' Razor was also glancing towards the tent along with Tala, turning their heads to look at the shadows in the tent at the same time before looking back at each other with an uneasy look. Tala only shrugged and went back to eating. 'Let them figure things out for themselves. I'm sure they don't was either Razor or me butting into their business.'
As Kai calmed and tears stopped falling he only sat there in silence, not moving his arms from Alexis' waist or picking his head up from her shoulder. Without words she had told him that she understood and accepted what happened to her. Her touch had soothed him, only to lull him into a light sleep. Before he fell asleep he did hear words, her words as she spoke to him while leaning back into his chest. The words she said were soft, the tone of her voice clearly female but carrying a light accent that made her sound unique. "Don't be sorry…"

What are Biovolt's plans for this girl and what happens when they get a hold of her because she risked herself by saving one of the Blade Breakers that has grown fond of her.

As the normal information like the name, height, weight, and such appeared she stopped scrolling down and took her hand from the button mouse, waiting for Kai to read what was on the page and allowing him to move on with more information or not. That's when he saw it, her full and real name and he couldn't help but to say it aloud so he knew what it sounded like on his own tongue. "Maximus, Alexis… The meaning in Greek means -Greatest Protector Of Man Kind-."
Further Kai read on, reading it aloud so that the information presented was more easily pressed into his mind. "Height: 5' Weight: 107 pounds Birthplace: Mountains of Western South America Bit Date: 5/23/???? They don't even know how old she really is, but I guess that doesn't matter to Biovolt. Both parents are alive but in cryogenic sleep at an unknown place.

He didn't understand what was going on, but he did understand why Biovolt wanted her now and why she had fangs like an animal.
Scrolling further downwards himself Kai caught his breath at the picture he saw of the bit beast Cynewolf. He knew that picture, it was in his dream. That room with the large doors and the white wolf on it, that was where Biovolt had kept her the whole time, secluded in that room while the scientists experimented on her and put her through hell. Now he saw clearly how much worse she had been put through, and he felt his stomach churn with disgust about what she had gone through and what had happened to her. Kai could feel himself about ready to get sick everywhere, lowering his head slowly only to find Alexis' shoulder there to seemingly comfort him. He felt the tears come, coursing freely down his cheeks as the painted blue shark fins smeared lightly with each salty tear. His strong arms wrapped loosely around her waist, uttering two soft words to her between his silenced sobs. "I'm sorry…"
The laptop was closed with a lick -click-, power being turned off as Alexis pushed the machine away to the floor next to them. It was better to cry and let it all go, and she knew that but she still comforted him anyways. He had understood her silence so much better than anyone else, as if unsaid words passed between them as their eyes met. With Kai resting his head on her right shoulder she lifted her right hand, running her slender fingers through his thick yet smooth hair as her fingertips massaged his skull and neck gently. He hugged her tightly, yet not tight enough to hurt or cause any discomfort. He was wanted it all to go away, for his grandfather and Biovolt to just vanish and the abbey be gone forever. Maybe now he could do that, with her help, with the loyalty of a born wolf.
Tala had stopped mid-way with a spoon of stew to his mouth, hearing soft sobs coming from the tent. He knew Snowflake didn't cry, but nether did Kai. 'Maybe I'm wrong…It has to be one of the two, I saw them both up and I heard Kai talking, but who is crying. It sounds more like Kai. This must be too much for him.' Razor was also glancing towards the tent along with Tala, turning their heads to look at the shadows in the tent at the same time before looking back at each other with an uneasy look. Tala only shrugged and went back to eating. 'Let them figure things out for themselves. I'm sure they don't was either Razor or me butting into their business.'
As Kai calmed and tears stopped falling he only sat there in silence, not moving his arms from Alexis' waist or picking his head up from her shoulder. Without words she had told him that she understood and accepted what happened to her. Her touch had soothed him, only to lull him into a light sleep. Before he fell asleep he did hear words, her words as she spoke to him while leaning back into his chest. The words she said were soft, the tone of her voice clearly female but carrying a light accent that made her sound unique. "Don't be sorry…"
