Chapter 4- Scared
Destiny sat in math class, twirling her pencil between her fingers. Her textbook lay open on her desk and a sheet of paper lay next to it. A blank sheet of paper. She'd given up on the math problems ages ago. She was a math failure, and there was no point in even trying to answer the questions, she would get them wrong anyway. At least this was the way she thought of it.
Instead she watched Kai drop his pencil and glance at the clock, finished his work. Five minutes until class ended.
Kai closed his book and packed up all his stuff, sitting back in the chair when he finished. He almost instantly noticed Destiny staring at him.
She wanted to ask him about what he'd said yesterday, but Ms Stokes would yell at her for talking. Instead she turned away from the blue-haired hottie to stare blankly out the window. She'd have to wait to ask him.
----------
Destiny plopped down next to Cassidy.
"Hey" Cassidy greeted happily.
"Hey yourself" Destiny sighed.
"What's wrong?" Cassidy inquired curiously, taking a sip from her Lemonade.
Destiny took a bite from her sandwich and chewed slowly. She swallowed before throwing the sandwich in the trash and grimacing, "ewww, sick"
Cassidy smiled in amusement and greeted Mark as he joined them.
"Hi Destiny" he said.
"Hi" she said dully. He raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked, giving her a look.
"It's nothing," she answered, looking over at Kai's table quizzically. Cassidy and Mark followed her gaze.
"Is it Kai?" Cassidy asked knowingly. Destiny nodded.
"Partly" she answered, "Do you guys know Michael?"
Mark nodded, "I hate him," he said distastefully.
"Why?" Destiny asked interested.
"He's horrible, he's like a rapist or something," Mark said, disgust written on his face.
Destiny's eyes widened, "a, a rapist?" she asked a little shakily.
"Well not really I guess, but he's like a man whore I guess" Mark shrugged.
"So he doesn't rape people?" Destiny asked hopefully.
"Let's put it this way, he usually gets what he wants" Mark replied bitterly.
Destiny frowned, is that what Kai had meant? 'I don't want him to ruin you'. She looked at Michael; she felt a small fear brew inside her.
She stood up suddenly, receiving odd looks from Mark and Cassidy, "I'll see you later"
"Are you coming to music?" Cassidy called out after Destiny.
"No" she replied, quickly exiting the school.
------------
Destiny sat down under a big oak tree. It was a gloomy day. The sky was gray and it looked as if it were going to rain. Destiny thought it fitted her mood perfectly.
She sighed as she watched a squirrel scurry across the grass. Why was she so worried about it. It's not like she saw Michael very often anyway. Besides, Mark had said he just slept with a lot of girls right? She told herself nothing was wrong, but somehow she wasn't convinced.
Destiny stayed there all day, she didn't feel like going to class. Besides, it was a lot more peaceful outside anyway. She slowly drifted into a light sleep and didn't awake until the final bell rang.
Destiny sat up, rubbing her eyes. Students were flowing out of the school doors, most of them carrying umbrellas over their heads. It was raining, she soon noticed and she was soaked.
She groaned as she stood up, trudging inside the school to get her backpack. Luckily, Tommy was going to Robby's house and he didn't have to be picked up.
Opening her locker forcefully, she shoved her math homework inside her back pack before closing it just as violently.
"Whoa, watch it there little girl, anger management" laughed Tala as he walked by.
"Shut up Tala," she growled, stopping him in his tracks. It appeared he wasn't told to shut up very often.
"What?" Tala asked, stepping in her way. She rolled her eyes, great, now she couldn't leave.
"Just leave me alone Tala," she said irritably, trying to step by him. But it was useless, he kept stepping in her way.
"You better watch you mouth little girl" he warned.
She rolled her eyes again, "Or else what? You'll beat me up? Grow up Tala. Popularity won't be so helpful in the real world"
He glared daggers into her, "You've got one hell of a mouth kid"
"Stop calling me that" she said angrily. Meanwhile, a small crowd was gathered in the hall watching them in fascination.
"I'll call you whatever I want" he sneered.
"Look get out of here, I don't want to talk to you" she answered coldy, returning his glare.
"Know your place girl" Tala said threateningly.
"My place is out of here, so if you'd be so kind as to let me pass. I'll be on my way," she said in a sarcastically sweet voice.
"Tala leave her alone" some one called out of the crowd, it was Kai.
"Hey, It's not my fault she's a mouthy little bitch" Tala said defensively, sending a glare her way.
"So? It's not my fault you're a fucked up asshole, but you don't see me complaining." She retorted, crossing her arms impatiently.
"Kai? Tala? What's taking so long, let's go!" a voice shouted from the crowd, and a girl appeared beside Kai. She was about Destiny's height and came up to Kai's nose. She had light blue hair with dark streaks and her eyes were the same auburn colour as Kai's, only they looked lighter from where Destiny was standing. She immediately knew this was Kailee, Kai's little sister.
"Well Kai?" she asked him impatiently and turned to give Tala the same look. She stopped though and looked at an annoyed blonde haired girl.
"Who are you?" she asked Curiously.
"This is Canaslut" Tala smirked, earning him self a glare from Destiny.
"You're so mean Tala. So you're Destiny then huh" she stated knowingly.
"Yea, that's me," Destiny said, wiping her hair off her face.
"Why are you soaked?" Kailee asked suddenly.
Destiny sighed, "I was outside and it's raining and I really have to get going before it starts to thunderstorm"
Kailee looked at her thoughtfully before turning to Kai, "Why don't we drive her?"
Kai nodded and Kailee smiled happily, "Come on Des...can I call you Des?"
Destiny nodded, surprising herself. She didn't usually like it when people used her family's nicknames. But with Kailee, it was fine.
Kailee grinned, taking Destiny's arm in her own, "Lead the way Kai!" she exclaimed and laughed. Destiny couldn't help but giggle with her.
Kai rolled his eyes, but led them all to his Mercedes anyway.
"Wait here, I'll go get the car. "Kai said, disappearing into the rain.
"I'm going with him" Destiny told Kailee as she ran off into the rain, "I'm already soaked"
She didn't catch the amused look Kailee sent after her.
"What are you doing?" Kai asked as he saw her approaching his car.
"I'm already soaked Kai" she smirked, placing her hands on her hips.
"And so is my car" Kai sighed, rubbing his temple. Destiny looked down at his black convertible. The top wasn't up and the seats had puddles on them.
"Call a cab?" Destiny suggested shrugging.
"Kailee and Tala can get picked up in the limo. You going with them or me?" Kai said opening the trunk and pulling out some towels.
Kai or Tala. That was an easy decision though she would have liked to go with Kailee.
"I'll go with you" she replied, "Want me to go tell them?"
He nodded and pulled up the lid to his car as she ran back to her new friend.
"Where's Kai?" Kailee asked as soon as Destiny returned.
"He's....uh...attending to his car" Destiny said slowly.
"Ok...when will he be done?" Kailee said trying to look out into the parking lot without getting wet.
"I dunno, but he wants you guys to take the limo home" she replied earning a quizzical look from Tala.
"His car's soaked isn't it" Tala stated smirking, "He can get a new interior, don't worry about it kid"
Destiny growled, but didn't say anything. Kailee raised an eyebrow at her before opening the school door.
"Alright, I'll call home" Kailee said disappearing into the school.
"So what's Kai going to do about his car?" Tala asked dully.
"Oh, He's driving it back" she answered just as boredly.
"And you're going with him" Tala said knowingly. He smirked at her.
"What's that supposed to mean?" she replied indignantly.
"Come on, everyone knows you like Kai" Tala laughed.
"No I don't, everyone thinks I ruined his relationship with Kate. He doesn't even like Kate" she said, getting louder with every word.
"Yea I know, what a pity," he said shaking his head in mock sadness.
"Why would anyone like Kate? She's a bitch and the biggest whore ever. Just because you spend your time making out with slutty ass girls like her, doesn't mean Kai should."
Tala looked a little shocked, "Is that what you think?"
"That's what I see," she said quietly. She'd expected some insulting comeback from the redhead.
"Well you're right" he said sharply, "And you know, Kate is a whore but she's also a filthy rich whore."
She raised her eyebrows, "So?"
"Money has more power then you think," he said, his voice back to cool and cocky.
She stared at him disgustedly," Money isn't everything.... I'll see you at Kai's house."
He smiled cockily in return, "Sure, just try to keep your hands off Kai well your driving there"
She growled at him again. He put his hands up in mock surrender, "I was just kidding kid...see ya!"
She glared at him once more before running back to Kai's car. Tala was an asshole. The love of money is the root of all evil, as Anna told her once. And she was right. Oh so very right.
------------
Kai had put the hood up and the seats didn't have mini lakes floating on them anymore. He threw the sopping wet towels back into the trunk.
"It's as dry as it's going to get right now," Kai said opening the driver's seat door. Destiny mimicked his movements and slid into the passenger seat. The wet leather stuck to her legs. Short skirts had their downfalls.
Kai started the engine and Destiny waved to Kailee as they left the parking lot. Tala yelled 'Behave kid'. She stuck her tongue out at him.
"Kai?" she asked staring out her window.
"Yea?" he answered.
"You know Michael?" she started slowly.
"Yes" she said blunty, turning onto a different street.
"Well, I was wondering...." She said anxiously.
"Wondering what?" he you keep and eye on him for me?" she sighed. That wasn't what she really wanted to say, but it would do.
"What for?" he asked, although he was pretty sure he knew why.
"I, uh...don't want him to ruin me," she said, copying Kai's former words.
"Yea, I will," he answered nodding.
"Thanks" she said, sending him her priceless smile.
"I promise," he added.
------------
"Hey Kai... Tala greeted, "...Destiny"
"Tala" she said just as coldly.
Kailee, sensing the obvious tension, decided to speak up, "You need to put some dry clothes on Des, you're going to catch a cold"
Destiny was pretty sure she already had a cold, but she agreed anyway. She let Kailee pull her to her bedroom.
"What do you want to wear?" Kailee asked, yanking open her closet doors.
"Doesn't mat—Whoa!" she exclaimed. Kailee's wardrobe was huge. She had enough clothes to open a clothing store and more.
"So? Casual or dressy? Skirt or pants? You look the same size as me!" Kailee smiled cheerfully.
Destiny entered the closet. She finally picked out a pair of jeans and a pink shirt.
"Try it on!" Kailee said, "I'm going to get you a hairdryer."
Destiny did so. She looked at herself in Kailee's full-length mirror. The light blue jeans hugged her hips perfectly and the v-neck top fitted just as good.
"Wow, you are sooo pretty!" Kailee squealed, dumping some stuff on her bed, "Come over here, I'm going to do your hair!!!"
"Hey Des, What are you doing tomorrow night?" Kailee asked, brushing out her hair.
"Nothing, why?" Destiny replied.
"We're having a Halloween Party here, want to come?"
Destiny nodded a little, "Sure, sounds like fun."
"Ok, it's semi-formal, I convinced Kai to let me plan it this year!!" she giggled.
"Alright, I'll be there" Destiny smiled. ---------
Kai and Tala were playing pool when the girls entered the room. Kai almost dropped his cue when he saw Destiny. Her hair was half up and put into a messy, but stylish bun. Her bangs framed her pretty face and those clothes looked great on her.
"Hi Kai" she smiled cheerfully.
"Hey" he replied.
"I have to call my mom, I'll be right back" Destiny said, leaving the room.
"So, what do you think?" Kailee asked happily.
"About what?" Kai asked, raising a brow.
Kailee rolled her eyes, "Destiny, I did her hair myself!!"
"Good" Kai smiled a little, "Maybe you can do Tala's hair next?"
"Hey, what's wrong with my hair?" Tala pretended to be offended
"Oh, nothing..." Kailee smiled secretively, "nothing at all"
"Umm, is it ok if I stay here until the storm is over?" Destiny asked hesitantly, reappearing in the door with her hand over the phone's receiver.
Kai nodded, "Sure"
Kailee gave him a look, but said nothing.
"It's ok......yea......love you too......bye" Destiny said, before hanging up the phone.
"What you wanna do?" Destiny asked anyone who was listening.
"We could watch a movie," Kailee suggested. Destiny nodded in approval. The guys put their cues back in the rack.
"I'll pick a movie," Tala said.
"And we'll make popcorn!" Kailee exclaimed, grabbing Destiny.
"Get some drinks Kai," she yelled as they left the room.
-----------
Tala was sitting on a chair when Destiny and Kailee returned with the popcorn. Kailee took a seat on the other armchair, leaving Destiny to sit on the squishy sofa.
Kai gave them all cans of pop and finally they started the movie.
"What movie did you pick Tala?" Kailee asked, stuffing popcorn into her mouth.
"Texas Chainsaw Massacre" he shrugged.
Destiny's eyes widened, "What?!"
"Too scary for you little girl?" Tala taunted.
"No..." she lied through gritted teeth. She hated horror movies, they scared the hell out of her.
Destiny clutched her drink tightly in her hand. She watched the screen wide eyed and scared. She screamed and covered her eyes as more people were murdered.
"I can't watch this" she said shakily, "Turn it off please"
"Now is it too scary for you little girl?" Tala teased.
Destiny nodded giving in, "Yes, turn it off"
When he didn't Kai grabbed the remote out of Tala's hands and turned it off him self.
"Are you ok?" Kailee asked worriedly. Destiny nodded, closing her eyes. Images of the movie flashed in her mind. She quickly reopened her eyes.
"Are you sure?" Kai asked. Destiny could see concern in his auburn eyes; that made her feel a little better. Kai was concerned. About her. If she weren't so scared then she would be ecstatic.
"I-I'm fi-ine" she stuttered. They didn't look convinced.
"Tala, get a blanket. Kailee, make sure grandfather isn't home " Kai ordered. They both obeyed. Kai assigned himself a task as well.
Destiny watched them all leave. When she finally realized she was alone, she screamed as loud as she could. Kai came running back into the room.
"What? What's wrong?" he asked worriedly.
"Don't leave me alone please," she whispered softly.
Kai nodded, "I'll stay here"
"That really happened Kai" she whispered, "All those people were really killed"
Kai nodded, "Yea"
"How could someone do that? How could you kill so many people? How heartless can you possibly be?" Destiny whispered again.
Kai didn't really know how to respond to that. Luckily, Tala and Kailee both rushed back into the room.
"Here's the blanket" Tala tossed it at Kai. He caught it easily and unfolded the navy blue cover.
"He's not home.... yet" Kailee said, collapsing into her armchair. She put her elbows on her knees and propped her head up in her hands to watch.
Kai gently pushed her down into a lying position and wrapped the blanket around a shivering Destiny.
"Why is she so freaked out, I know lots of girls that are terrified of horror movies, but they've never acted like this before." Tala asked quietly.
Kai shrugged. He knew she was scared of Michael as well. But what did that have to do with the movie?
"Kai, you'd better take her home. He'll be home soon," Kailee told him, looking at her watch.
Kai nodded. He pulled his car keys out from his pocket and tossed them to Kailee. She sent him a quizzical look.
"I can't carry her and open the door at the same time" he stated, lifting up the blonde haired girl easily in his arms and following Kailee out of the room.
"Which car are you taking?" Kailee asked as they entered the garage.
"The blue porche, I guess" Kai answered. He preferred his Mercedes, but it was a little under the weather at the moment.
Kailee opened the door and pushed back the seat so Destiny could lie down. She stepped out of the way to allow Kai to gently place the girl down on the seat.
Taking back his keys, he took his own seat and pulled out of the Hiwatari residence. Kai looked over at Destiny as he drove along the dark and empty street. She had her eyes wide open and was staring into nothingness.
"Destiny" he said softly.
She snapped out of it, "Kai?"
"Yea, I'm taking you home" he told her quietly.
"Ok" she replied meekly.
Kai drove on. Luckily he'd driven her home before and knew where she lived. Pulling to a stop he quickly shoved the keys into his pocket and went to the door and rang the bell.
A blonde haired woman opened the door. There was no doubt, she was Destiny's mother.
"Ms. Springfield?" Kai asked.
"Yes, it's Anna. Anna Springfield" She replied. She looked tired and worried.
"Destiny's mom" Kai stated.
She looked surprised, "Yes, do you know where my daughter is?" she asked hopefully, "She was supposed to be home when the storm was over, but that was over and hour ago."
Kai felt a little guilty. It must have ended when they were watching the movie, "She's in my car"
Anna's eyes widened, "Why is she with you?"
"I'm Kai Hiwatari" he answered, "Kailee's brother"
Anna nodded, "Alright"
Kai carefully lifted Anna's daughter into his arms. Her head fell against his chest, her eyes closed now. She appeared to be asleep.
"Where do you want me to put her?" Kai asked.
"On her bed please" Anna said ascending up the stairs, "Follow me"
Anna led him into Destiny's bedroom. He lay her down on top of her bed, still wrapped in his blue blanket. Anna shut off the lights and Kai followed her out of the room, closing the door behind him.
"Thank you for bringing her home" Anna smiled tiredly.
"It was no prob---"Kai was cut off my Destiny screaming again. They both went hurtling back into her room.
Destiny was out of bed, the blanket lying on the floor. Tears streamed down her cheeks. Anna flicked the lights on quickly.
"Kai" Destiny shrieked, running towards him. She clung to him tightly, crying into his shoulder.
He started to pry her off, but Anna looked at him through hope filled eyes. Instead he wrapped his arms around her, pulling the frightened girl into his arms.
Destiny felt Kai's strong arms around her, protecting her. She felt like nothing could ever hurt her. Safe. Secure. Warm.
Kai could feel her start to relax in his arms. She whimpered slightly, but soon stopped shaking and went limp against him. He picked her up gently again and laid her back into bed, placing the blanket over her.
"Why is she so terrified?" Anna asked anxiously after they had returned downstairs.
"I don't know" Kai said honestly.
"What did she do when she was at your house?" Anna questioned timidly.
"We watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre" Kai replied, "We didn't finish it though because Destiny was so scared"
"Oh dear" Anna sat down on the nearby chair, "That's why"
Kai had no idea what she was talking about, "Pardon?"
"Destiny's father is currently in Texas. His job moves him around a lot, we hardly ever see him" Anna explained sadly.
"So she thinks something happened to him then" Kai said to himself. That made enough sense.
Anna nodded, "And it's a true story, the true ones are the most scary because it's real."
Kai didn't say anything. Glancing at his watch he realized he had to get home.
"I have to get going" Kai said hastily.
"Ok, Thanks again Kai." Anna said, waving to him from the doorstep, "She'll be alright!"
Kai proceeded to his car. Driving home he realized something. He'd been concerned about her. Him. Concerned. About her. He'd never been concerned about anyone really, except Kailee and maybe Tala. But they were like his family...Destiny was Kailee's friend. That's why he cared. But the truth was, she was becoming his friend too.
#############################
I'm done!! One to the next chappie! Anyway I know I may have been a little overdramatic with the whole movie thing. But think about it. She hates horror movies, they scare the hell outa her, it's a true story and her dad happens to be in the same place it happened. And then she's also scared of Michael. That's a lot of fear. Enough to scare me to death, what about you?
ANYWAY!!! REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW.....please?? puppy dog eyes

Kai started the engine and Destiny waved to Kailee as they left the parking lot. Tala yelled 'Behave kid'. She stuck her tongue out at him.
"Kai?" she asked staring out her window.
"Yea?" he answered.
"You know Michael?" she started slowly.
"Yes" she said blunty, turning onto a different street.
"Well, I was wondering...." She said anxiously.
"Wondering what?" he you keep and eye on him for me?" she sighed. That wasn't what she really wanted to say, but it would do.
"What for?" he asked, although he was pretty sure he knew why.
"I, uh...don't want him to ruin me," she said, copying Kai's former words.
"Yea, I will," he answered nodding.
"Thanks" she said, sending him her priceless smile.
"I promise," he added.
------------
"Hey Kai... Tala greeted, "...Destiny"
"Tala" she said just as coldly.
Kailee, sensing the obvious tension, decided to speak up, "You need to put some dry clothes on Des, you're going to catch a cold"
Destiny was pretty sure she already had a cold, but she agreed anyway. She let Kailee pull her to her bedroom.
"What do you want to wear?" Kailee asked, yanking open her closet doors.
"Doesn't mat—Whoa!" she exclaimed. Kailee's wardrobe was huge. She had enough clothes to open a clothing store and more.
"So? Casual or dressy? Skirt or pants? You look the same size as me!" Kailee smiled cheerfully.
Destiny entered the closet. She finally picked out a pair of jeans and a pink shirt.
"Try it on!" Kailee said, "I'm going to get you a hairdryer."
Destiny did so. She looked at herself in Kailee's full-length mirror. The light blue jeans hugged her hips perfectly and the v-neck top fitted just as good.
"Wow, you are sooo pretty!" Kailee squealed, dumping some stuff on her bed, "Come over here, I'm going to do your hair!!!"
"Hey Des, What are you doing tomorrow night?" Kailee asked, brushing out her hair.
"Nothing, why?" Destiny replied.
"We're having a Halloween Party here, want to come?"
Destiny nodded a little, "Sure, sounds like fun."
"Ok, it's semi-formal, I convinced Kai to let me plan it this year!!" she giggled.
"Alright, I'll be there" Destiny smiled. ---------
Kai and Tala were playing pool when the girls entered the room. Kai almost dropped his cue when he saw Destiny. Her hair was half up and put into a messy, but stylish bun. Her bangs framed her pretty face and those clothes looked great on her.
"Hi Kai" she smiled cheerfully.
"Hey" he replied.
"I have to call my mom, I'll be right back" Destiny said, leaving the room.
"So, what do you think?" Kailee asked happily.
"About what?" Kai asked, raising a brow.
Kailee rolled her eyes, "Destiny, I did her hair myself!!"
"Good" Kai smiled a little, "Maybe you can do Tala's hair next?"
"Hey, what's wrong with my hair?" Tala pretended to be offended
"Oh, nothing..." Kailee smiled secretively, "nothing at all"
"Umm, is it ok if I stay here until the storm is over?" Destiny asked hesitantly, reappearing in the door with her hand over the phone's receiver.
Kai nodded, "Sure"
Kailee gave him a look, but said nothing.
"It's ok......yea......love you too......bye" Destiny said, before hanging up the phone.
"What you wanna do?" Destiny asked anyone who was listening.
"We could watch a movie," Kailee suggested. Destiny nodded in approval. The guys put their cues back in the rack.
"I'll pick a movie," Tala said.
"And we'll make popcorn!" Kailee exclaimed, grabbing Destiny.
"Get some drinks Kai," she yelled as they left the room.
-----------
Tala was sitting on a chair when Destiny and Kailee returned with the popcorn. Kailee took a seat on the other armchair, leaving Destiny to sit on the squishy sofa.
Kai gave them all cans of pop and finally they started the movie.
"What movie did you pick Tala?" Kailee asked, stuffing popcorn into her mouth.
"Texas Chainsaw Massacre" he shrugged.
Destiny's eyes widened, "What?!"
"Too scary for you little girl?" Tala taunted.
"No..." she lied through gritted teeth. She hated horror movies, they scared the hell out of her.
Destiny clutched her drink tightly in her hand. She watched the screen wide eyed and scared. She screamed and covered her eyes as more people were murdered.
"I can't watch this" she said shakily, "Turn it off please"
"Now is it too scary for you little girl?" Tala teased.
Destiny nodded giving in, "Yes, turn it off"
When he didn't Kai grabbed the remote out of Tala's hands and turned it off him self.
"Are you ok?" Kailee asked worriedly. Destiny nodded, closing her eyes. Images of the movie flashed in her mind. She quickly reopened her eyes.
"Are you sure?" Kai asked. Destiny could see concern in his auburn eyes; that made her feel a little better. Kai was concerned. About her. If she weren't so scared then she would be ecstatic.
"I-I'm fi-ine" she stuttered. They didn't look convinced.
"Tala, get a blanket. Kailee, make sure grandfather isn't home " Kai ordered. They both obeyed. Kai assigned himself a task as well.
Destiny watched them all leave. When she finally realized she was alone, she screamed as loud as she could. Kai came running back into the room.
"What? What's wrong?" he asked worriedly.
"Don't leave me alone please," she whispered softly.
Kai nodded, "I'll stay here"
"That really happened Kai" she whispered, "All those people were really killed"
Kai nodded, "Yea"
"How could someone do that? How could you kill so many people? How heartless can you possibly be?" Destiny whispered again.
Kai didn't really know how to respond to that. Luckily, Tala and Kailee both rushed back into the room.
"Here's the blanket" Tala tossed it at Kai. He caught it easily and unfolded the navy blue cover.
"He's not home.... yet" Kailee said, collapsing into her armchair. She put her elbows on her knees and propped her head up in her hands to watch.
Kai gently pushed her down into a lying position and wrapped the blanket around a shivering Destiny.
"Why is she so freaked out, I know lots of girls that are terrified of horror movies, but they've never acted like this before." Tala asked quietly.
Kai shrugged. He knew she was scared of Michael as well. But what did that have to do with the movie?
"Kai, you'd better take her home. He'll be home soon," Kailee told him, looking at her watch.
Kai nodded. He pulled his car keys out from his pocket and tossed them to Kailee. She sent him a quizzical look.
"I can't carry her and open the door at the same time" he stated, lifting up the blonde haired girl easily in his arms and following Kailee out of the room.
"Which car are you taking?" Kailee asked as they entered the garage.
"The blue porche, I guess" Kai answered. He preferred his Mercedes, but it was a little under the weather at the moment.
Kailee opened the door and pushed back the seat so Destiny could lie down. She stepped out of the way to allow Kai to gently place the girl down on the seat.
Taking back his keys, he took his own seat and pulled out of the Hiwatari residence. Kai looked over at Destiny as he drove along the dark and empty street. She had her eyes wide open and was staring into nothingness.
"Destiny" he said softly.
She snapped out of it, "Kai?"
"Yea, I'm taking you home" he told her quietly.
"Ok" she replied meekly.
Kai drove on. Luckily he'd driven her home before and knew where she lived. Pulling to a stop he quickly shoved the keys into his pocket and went to the door and rang the bell.
A blonde haired woman opened the door. There was no doubt, she was Destiny's mother.
"Ms. Springfield?" Kai asked.
"Yes, it's Anna. Anna Springfield" She replied. She looked tired and worried.
"Destiny's mom" Kai stated.
She looked surprised, "Yes, do you know where my daughter is?" she asked hopefully, "She was supposed to be home when the storm was over, but that was over and hour ago."
Kai felt a little guilty. It must have ended when they were watching the movie, "She's in my car"
Anna's eyes widened, "Why is she with you?"
"I'm Kai Hiwatari" he answered, "Kailee's brother"
Anna nodded, "Alright"
Kai carefully lifted Anna's daughter into his arms. Her head fell against his chest, her eyes closed now. She appeared to be asleep.
"Where do you want me to put her?" Kai asked.
"On her bed please" Anna said ascending up the stairs, "Follow me"
Anna led him into Destiny's bedroom. He lay her down on top of her bed, still wrapped in his blue blanket. Anna shut off the lights and Kai followed her out of the room, closing the door behind him.
"Thank you for bringing her home" Anna smiled tiredly.
"It was no prob---"Kai was cut off my Destiny screaming again. They both went hurtling back into her room.
Destiny was out of bed, the blanket lying on the floor. Tears streamed down her cheeks. Anna flicked the lights on quickly.
"Kai" Destiny shrieked, running towards him. She clung to him tightly, crying into his shoulder.
He started to pry her off, but Anna looked at him through hope filled eyes. Instead he wrapped his arms around her, pulling the frightened girl into his arms.
Destiny felt Kai's strong arms around her, protecting her. She felt like nothing could ever hurt her. Safe. Secure. Warm.
Kai could feel her start to relax in his arms. She whimpered slightly, but soon stopped shaking and went limp against him. He picked her up gently again and laid her back into bed, placing the blanket over her.
"Why is she so terrified?" Anna asked anxiously after they had returned downstairs.
"I don't know" Kai said honestly.
"What did she do when she was at your house?" Anna questioned timidly.
"We watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre" Kai replied, "We didn't finish it though because Destiny was so scared"
"Oh dear" Anna sat down on the nearby chair, "That's why"
Kai had no idea what she was talking about, "Pardon?"
"Destiny's father is currently in Texas. His job moves him around a lot, we hardly ever see him" Anna explained sadly.
"So she thinks something happened to him then" Kai said to himself. That made enough sense.
Anna nodded, "And it's a true story, the true ones are the most scary because it's real."
Kai didn't say anything. Glancing at his watch he realized he had to get home.
"I have to get going" Kai said hastily.
"Ok, Thanks again Kai." Anna said, waving to him from the doorstep, "She'll be alright!"
Kai proceeded to his car. Driving home he realized something. He'd been concerned about her. Him. Concerned. About her. He'd never been concerned about anyone really, except Kailee and maybe Tala. But they were like his family...Destiny was Kailee's friend. That's why he cared. But the truth was, she was becoming his friend too.

Enough to scare me to death, what about you?
