Chapter 5
I stood up shakily, putting a hand on the wall next to me to keep myself steady. My eyes felt watery and I almost broke down into tears right there. I was just so…scared.
I looked over at Triangle Boy and grabbed him again, pulling me along down the tunnel. I couldn't just stay there…I didn't know how to open up the door again, so the only thing I could do was keep going down that freaky tunnel.
Any humor had left me and I just kept walking, not paying attention to anything around me. I was too busy thinking about the last hour or so…
Only an hour…
I shivered in fright and stopped, sitting down again. I held the boy in front of me upright, looking at him more closely.
His back was still to me and his head was leaned forward, onto his chest. I cocked my head to one side, trying to look at him in a different way. I couldn't help but stare.
After a bit he groaned and opened his eyes wearily, looking around him carefully. "Where…where am I?" he asked. His voice was hoarse still, but had more life in it than before.
"I don't know," I replied quietly, moving around beside him. "I was hoping you would."
He blinked at me and shook his head. "I'm sorry…I don't…" He put a hand to his head and stared at the ground for a bit. "I don't even know what happened before I fell asleep…"
"I wish I could help you." I told him. His eyes looked so lost…empty. I really felt sorry with him. "We could start with…your name?"
He looked at me and blinked again. "Kai…Kai Hiwatari." He told me.
"Nice to meet you Kai, I'm Mina Kio." I held my hand out to him to shake, surprised with the steadiness of my voice. I gave him a smile. "Can you tell me more about yourself?" I really don't know why I was so curious…I just felt that if I knew more about him, I could help.
He took my hand hesitantly and said, "I'm fifteen and…" he made a face. "I'm sorry, that's about all I can remember."
"What about your parents, your friends?"
"There was Tala and…and…Michael…" he trailed off and clutched at his head.
I looked at Kai worriedly and helped him up. "We can't stay here anymore, you think about that…we can fix this whole mess. I'm sure of it." I tried to sound reassuring and gave him another smile.
Kai looked at me and then nodded. "Alright Mina…thank you."
I didn't know why he was thanking me, but I nodded none the less and we began walking down the tunnel. We moved a lot faster now that I wasn't dragging him along and we didn't waste our breath talking either.
So…he was fifteen, and his name was Kai Hiwatari. That was a start, wasn't it? And these two people…Tala and Michael…
He couldn't possible mean Michael Tiy? The man in charge of this whole thing…
And thus the plot thickens…
What do I do now? What do we do now?
Author's Notes: I'm sleepy so I'm going to update this later…I don't know why my chapters are so crappy lately.
