Chapter 2: Free?

A small girl walked down an empty corridor, her hair was clasped tight in a bun and her cherry eyes were dull and lifeless. The girl was no older then six; her small hands and feet marched on unsure of where they were going.

A soft drizzle began to slip from the stormy clouds above as yet another storm promised to take over the day.

Suddenly screams filled the air and images of a burning building were set in front of her. The young girl screamed, her eyes not wanting to see what was playing out before her.

A young woman of no older then twenty-four ran outside, a small baby in her arms crying its eyes out as the heat engulfed them.

"Ryan!" The young woman screamed as she watched her house being destroyed by the powerful flames. She looked around helplessly trying to find anything that would help her in such a helpless situation.

The small girl walked up to the young woman, her eyes filled with tears as she knew what would happen next, but as always the young woman did not seem to be able to see the girl, she seemed to distraught with was going on around her.

The young woman had jet-black hair that was tied in a low pony-tail that reached the end of her hips, she was a beautiful young woman who was normally very outgoing and hard to scare, but in a situation like this who could blame her for the fear that was obvious in her eyes.

The woman's cherry coloured orbs flashed as she made a decision, she looked around setting her eyes on a basket she would normally take to the market to do her shopping, she slipped the crying baby in to the basket singing soothing songs as she did so. She kissed the child's small cheek before getting up and heading for the blazing inferno she once called a home.

With one last look at her small child she headed in.

"NO!" The young girl screamed at the top of her lungs, tears were falling more rapidly from those cherry orbs, her hands outstretched to where the young woman had disappeared but her feet would not move from their spot.

"Clair!" A male voice filled the air, "Get OUT of here!"

There was a loud explosion and the timber flaming structure of the house collapsed on top of the young couple, leaving only the young baby to cry in what was now its resting place.

"Mummy," The small girl choked out, her vision more blurry, she took two steps forward but not towards the collapsed building but towards the baby.

The tiny child looked up, cherry orbs met same cherry coloured eyes, a single tear fell from the young girls face only to land softly on the baby's cheek.

The girl could no longer hear anything, the crackle of the fire had stopped and the soft drizzle continued to fall.

"Mirror!" A voice called out her name, but the girl ignored it, she gazed into her own eyes as the baby also began to disappear into the thin burned air. She stood there until there was nothing left apart from her and the drizzle falling from the stormy clouds above.

"Mirror!"

"Mirror!" Mirror's cherry orbs snapped open, she hadn't realised someone was calling her. She sat up quickly only now noticing her tear stained cheeks.

"Mirror," Kai whispered pulling the younger girl into his arms. "Shh, it's okay your with me now, with us," Kai continued softly, soothingly as Mirror began to sob softly into his shirt.

Mirror's small hand clasped tightly the material on Kai's back as the young boy pulled her in tighter, his own auburn eyes held a deep knowing of pain, pain and suffering.

He knew that the young girl in his arms couldn't take staying in the abbey any longer, every day he wouldn't think of plans to get her out of here, even if it meant for him to be punished severely even killed, but ever plan would somehow, some way be rendered futile as new security measures would be installed.

The security was there to keep the trainees from leaving, no one was afraid of anyone who would try to break in, no one has ever wanted to break into a prison, not this prison.

Kai looked down at the younger girl in his arms, there was something about her that kept him not wanting to stray too far, he wanted her to stay with him and Tala during the night, there was just something unsafe and unsure about the only girl in the abbey sleeping alone in a room on the other side of the abbey from them… from him.

"Kai?" Mirror mumbled still clasping tightly onto the back of Kai's t-shirt as if it was her only lifeline.

"Yeah?"

"I saw her, I saw her again," She cried as fresh tears slipped down her already tear stained cheeks.

"Shh, it's okay," Kai soothed, he didn't know what else to say, Mirror had these nightmares at least once a week, every time it got worse. He looked at Tala still sound asleep beside him and Mirror, he was always the type that slept like a rock, on this occasion he was kinda glad, he had Mirror all to himself.

Kai, Mirror and Tala had been best friends since they arrived at the abbey, Mirror was here first, then Kai came. At first they didn't really like each other that much, Kai always being at his grandfathers side.

She didn't trust him.

Trust… that's the one thing you can't buy, that's the one the you can't get at will, that's the one thing you have to earn with all your heart, and once you have it, you need to keep it precious and never loose it, because most of the time, once it's lost you can never get it back.

The two kids were paired up for a mission, Kai being the stronger and Mirror being the wiser and more experienced. During their first and only mission together they became friends and soon enough they were inseparable. Kai would always protect her from all the other boys who picked on her, and Mirror would always teach Kai the ropes, keep him safe from Boris and Voltaire.

Then Tala came along and Mirror befriended him rather quickly, Kai got to like him too but he always thought that if he had Mirror all to himself he would be happier.

Don't get Kai wrong, he really liked Tala, he was after all Kai's best friend but Mirror, she was his friend before Tala and sometimes he wished she would be just that bit more.

"Mirror?" Kai asked, his voice thin as if he was scared to say what he was going to say. But he had decided, this was the time this was the day, there was no use leaving it until someday in the future, they might not live that long.

Kai hear Mirror sniff twice, "Yeah?" He looked down to find the teary girl looking up at him, right into his eyes. His heart began to pound in his chest; he couldn't get over the fact that they were so close. She was all his even if it was for a little while, it was just how it used to be, they always use to fall asleep in each other's arms.

"I…" Kai muttered staring down at her and wiping away a fresh tear that was rolling down her cheek with his thumb. "Love you,"

He watched as the younger girl watched him, her eyes not giving anything away, her face not giving anything away just as she was taught. Sometimes Kai wished that Mirror would forget about the abbey and everything she has been taught but then again, he knew that what the abbey taught her is all she has ever known.

Mirror looked up at Kai letting the words sink in, she gave Kai a wide smile and whispered, "I love you too,"

Mirror wasn't exactly sure what was going on, the nightmare Kai pulled her out of was one she had been getting on a regular basis, each time revealing more, and scaring her more.

"In what way?" Kai asked his face deadly serious. Mirror was confused, what did he mean by 'in what way'? Mirror loved both Kai and Tala to bits, she felt that she couldn't live without them and would risk her own life for their safety. Wasn't that enough?

"Do you love me as a friend, a brother…" Kai continued, Mirror was sure that that was what she felt, Kai was like her protector, she would do anything for him he just had to click his finger and she would be there. "Or something more,"

With that Mirror was even more confused, something more? What more could there be? The young girl being raised in the abbey didn't understand the concept of real human emotion, she would laugh and cry, she would sulk and comfort but this was just something she had never received before in her life.

And how can you understand and show something you have never seen or been given before?

"Mirror, I like you more then a sister," Kai said slowly unsure of what he was saying, then he done the oddest thing, something Mirror wasn't sure how to react too. He leaned down and place a soft kiss on her soft lips, for a moment there, there was bliss, she couldn't quite explain it but it was there like and unmistakable hidden feeling but it was there.

Kai pulled away his orbs opening and gazing into hers once more, that's when she got it, got what Kai was trying to say and she blushed, for the first time in her life she blushed.

"I love you too," Mirror whispered before a loud snore filled the air. Both sets of eyes snapped to the boy sleeping beside them before both kids began to laugh. They were a trio and there was nothing that would or could separate them, NOTHING!

Well that's what they thought.

"Hurry up!" Tala hissed at his two friends as they hurried to make their last class of the day. The sprinted quickly towards the Olympic sized pool on the roof, set in the open freezing air of Russia.

"Mr Volkov, Mr Hiwatari, 436 nice of you to join us," Boris sneered as soon as the three kids walked through the roof door.

"Sir we're not late Sir," Tala answered, the children all were taught to speak like that to their elders. The abbey was like an illegal army camp, where there are no rules for the elders and too many for the trainees.

"You're right Tala, now why don't you three go and get changed," Boris continued, but his voice was sweet, ALWAYS a bad sign.

Mirror stepped out of her cubicle, the cold air of Moscow hitting her like a brick wall, she might have done this many times before but it still shocked her every time how cold it was.

"Come on," Kai whispered, Mirror looked up at him and smiled slipping her hand in his as they stepped out.

"Class, today you will be diving into this… crystal clean pool, you will once you reach the bottom pick up and bring up anything you find and you must bring something back," Boris explained sitting down on the opposite end of the pool in his plush wool coat.

Mirror looked down at the normally semi clean pool, it was filthy, you couldn't make out the bottom because of it's disgusting brown and green colour. She didn't want to go in there, it was disgusting and whatever she found at the bottom was bound to be more horrible then the actual water.

She felt Kai's hand squeeze hers lightly, she looked up at him and he gave her a small smile.

"Well who would like to go first?" Boris asked looking at each student in turn. He had noticed a worrying closeness between Kai and 436, this had had to stop if there was any chance of him making them go head to head against each other in the future.

Boris watched as 436 edged closer to Kai, her hand tightly held onto the boy's beside her.

A boy right at the end of the pool brought Boris' attention away from the young girl to him. He had raised his hand as a signal he wanted to start the training. Many of the other trainees gave him odd looks, they were right, he was mad if he wanted to do this.

And if someone WANTS to do a horrible thing Boris sets, well it lessens the pleasure Boris would receive from watching him do it. But what was Boris to do? He would just gain pleasure from the other 17 students who were there and not so keen on jumping into the pool.

"Be my guest Boris." Boris smirked as he gave the young boy permission. It was very ironic that the boy, the ONLY boy willing to take part would have the same name as himself.

Kai watched one of the other trainees jump into the filthy pool, once he was completely submerged he seemed to disappear. This boy was mad, Kai had met him a few times before this and every single time it wasn't a pleasant experience. This boy had signed up for the abbey out of pure choice, he actually WANTED to be here, just as he wanted to be in that pool.

Soon enough the boy remerged, a silver plate in his left hand, his other was leading him to the ladder.

"Well done," Boris sneered turning his face away from the child and back to the other kids in the line.

"Who's next?" Boris asked, his eyes searching menacingly for his next victim. Kai hated Boris, he suspected everyone in the Abbey hated him, but there was a lot more that Kai knew about him then everyone else, there were some up sides to being the grandson of Voltaire, but only a few.

"Here Sir," To Kai's surprise the voice was one he knew all too well, one he had grown to love. He looked to the side and found Mirror, her free hand in the air and staring straight at Boris, no emotion on her face.

"436? Well now I am impressed, since when were you so brave?" Boris asked but Mirror ignored his question and waited for him to give her permission.

"Go right ahead,"

Kai watched as Mirror slipped her hand out of his grasp and jumped into the disgusting sludge once known as water. She remerge a few seconds later, half of a glass bottle in her hands and Kai saw something that made his teeth clench together. There was a slow but steady stream of bloody making its way down the girl's hand.

All Kai wanted to do was help her out and go clean her wound, or at least give Boris what was coming to him. He knew he couldn't do either.

Mirror slipped through the grimy water and up the ladder, her hand was aching, she smelt so bad and she thought she was about to puke, but none of this mattered at that moment, all she was thankful for was the fact that it was done, she wouldn't have to step another foot in there again.

She lay the bottle in front of Boris then stood up to receive her next instruction. Mirror knew that even though Boris wasn't showing it the smell she carried from the pool was making him sick.

"Go take a shower then report back here, I want you to do this again," Boris announced with a sneer. Mirror held a straight face but in her head she was screaming, the only thing she wanted to do at that moment was cry. He was going to make her go back in there!

"Sir?" A male voice made her jump about a foot in the air.

"Jumpy aren't you 436?" Boris grinned evil. "What?"

The boy behind Mirror walked to her side and handed Boris a note, Mirror couldn't read what it said from her position but she knew it was something that Boris didn't like, so possibly it was something she would.

"Well all I can say is 436, Mr Hiwatari and Volkov it's your lucky today, Voltaire wants to see you immediately, so I guess we'll leave our little diving escapade until another day won't we?" With that Boris waved Mirror off and she walked swiftly to the showers.

The boy that had given Boris the note walked beside her, "Good luck," He whispered before making his was off the roof.

"Are you okay?" Tala asked as soon as they were in the showers and out of Boris' hearing and sight range.

"I'm fine," Mirror smiled warmly at Tala before stepping into the shower and switching the freezing cold water on.

Tala wasn't really sure what was going on, he watched as Kai's eyes raged, he knew his friend was mad but he didn't understand why. Tala got mad every time Boris forced them to do another one of his sick little tasks but this was just over the top, and Kai was furious. Tala had never seen him like that before.

Mirror stepped out of the shower two minuets later and the three of them walked to the next room got dried and changed before heading for Voltaire's office. This was a new thing for Tala too. They were called to Voltaire's office once in a while, that was normal, but they had never been called together.

Kai knocked on the mahogany door and with a grunt from the inside he let himself and his friends in.

"Kai," Voltaire grunted in his usual raspy voice, you could see a fresh piece of cotton material and bandages on his neck where his wound was. Kai knew about this a long time ago. Voltaire had been shot in the neck a year ago, it was a miracle he was alive and well, for most people it was a curse Kai being one of them.

Even though the wound was made all that time ago it has never healed, the doctors said it was something to do with his age and the white blood cells in his blood but Kai never listened to what they said, he didn't care, all he wanted was the old bastard dead and the doctors were just prolonging the inevitable.

Now whenever Voltaire would get over stressed, angry or anxious the wound on his neck would re-open and blood would pour out.

"Grandfather," Kai greeted in a monotone voice he always used when talking to him.

"Sir," Both Mirror and Tala said together, Voltaire just grunted a reply and ordered them to sit.

"You probably don't know why you're here," Voltaire stated the obvious. "You three have been too close from the start, we thought that during your stay here that will stop but I see it had just made it stronger."

Kai couldn't believe what he was hearing, his grandfather wanted to separate them! But there was no fucking way he was going to do that now, not after last night.

"So in order to sort out this problem Mirror we're sending you to Japan where we have another training facility. Tala you will be moved into Mirror's room," The three kids sat there, amazed at what they had heard. Mirror was horrified, Japan? That was so FAR!

"But," Kai muttered his voice slowly getting angrier.

"Did you say something?" Voltaire challenged his ugly piercing eyes staring straight at his grandson.

"No," Kai muttered getting up a walking out of the door, Mirror and Tala followed. Tala watched as Kai began punching the plaster wall, his fists were bruised and bleeding.

"Kai," Tala growled he put his hand on Kai's shoulder who shoved it off.

"Kai," Mirror whispered, Kai let out a growl of frustration before resting his forehead on the battered wall.

"Japan," Kai muttered, he couldn't believe it, this twisted place was going to send Mirror all the way to Japan! Where he would never see her again.

"I know," Mirror sighed leaning against the wall then sliding down until her butt reached the ground.

"Come on," Kai muttered grabbing Mirror's hand and pulling her towards the room he shared with Tala, Tala following right behind them.

"We're leaving," Kai stated as soon as their bedroom door was closed.

"What?" Tala's eyes were wide opened as Mirror sat down on Kai's bed.

"Do you want to stay here?" Kai asked his question purely directed at Tala.

"No, but it's impossible, you said so yourself!"

Mirror layback taking in the soft scent on Kai's pillow. If she was going to Japan then she'll never smell that again, she'll never see Tala's funky red hair, she'd never see Kai sulking after loosing an insult match. Nothing.

"He's right," Mirror sat up straight and looked at Tala.

"You sure?" Tala asked, Tala always listened to Mirror, there was no going round it, she would beat the shit out of him if he didn't.

"Yeah, like hell am I going to Japan," Mirror stood up and walked to the door. "I'm just going to get some of my stuff, I'll be right back,"

Mirror walked down the empty corridors, her mind racing with thoughts, she was getting out of here. She was finally getting out of here and to the free world, she looked out of one of the massive windows on the right of the corridor, the other a grey plaster. The sun had set leaving a cloudy Russian night ahead of them; so far fate and luck were on her side… so far. If the abbey wasn't filled with such pain, lies deceit and mistreatment it would look like a grate building, that is without the massive grey wall surrounding it.

She walked up to her cell door turned the handle walking straight in. She walked up to her bed picked up the thin mattress a slipped her hand inside grabbing hold of the few pieces of paper she kept close and hidden. One was the only picture she had of herself and her parents when she was a baby, it was taken just before the fire that killed them.

"Where are you going?" A small voice filled the room as Mirror took the faded picture she had shed tears over many times.

"Home," Mirror replied looking into the little boys cherry coloured eyes.

With Mirror's word the boy disappeared and Mirror was once again alone. She tucked the picture and papers onto the back of her underwear before walking out of the door and to Tala and Kai's bedroom. This was the last time she would ever see her cell again, and she was glad of it.

"And where are you off to in such a hurry?"

Mirror heard a sneering voice ask behind her.

"Sorry Sir?" She asked turning around and seeing Boris leaning against one of the walls.

"Your were practically running, I wanted to know why you were in such a hurry,"

"I was getting some training in because I missed some today," Mirror lied, she thanked her brain that she was able to think of it so quickly.

"Oh really? Then why are you so nervous?" Boris asked standing up straight and walking straight up to the twelve-year-old girl.

"Nervous?" Mirror asked, as cool calm grin spreading on her features, even though she was screaming inside. If he found out she was lying then it would be the end of her. If there was one thing the Abbey didn't tolerate it was lying. "Not me Sir,"

"All this sweat, my my you are a pretty little thing aren't you?" Boris took two large steps towards her, a grin to match Mirror's on his face but an ugly one.

"Sir?" Mirror's grin faded and a look of horror crossed her face.

"Now relax I'll make this quick," Boris continued, he lunged forward with one hand he grabbed Mirror's waist and with the other he grabbed her throat.

Mirror didn't have a clue what to do, if she fought back she would be killed anyway, if she didn't and let this…this…this MONSTER have his way with her she would never forgive herself!

Mirror twisted and turned trying desperately to get out of Boris' grip, it only got tighter until she had problems breathing.

Boris smirked evilly before crushing his lips to her, all Mirror could think of was how dirty and disgusted she felt. What would Kai think of it all? There was no doubt in her mind he would ever want to be near her again, he would probably only ever see Boris around her now.

She couldn't go to him could she?

Mirror tried to scream, but no sound came out, her voice box being squeezed tightly. Mirror felt the cold slab of wall behind her and knew she was trapped, if she didn't do something then she would probably never get out of here.

Boris moved his hand up Mirror's already grubby t-shirt his blistered hands going over her soft young skin.

Mirror couldn't handle it anymore, once she felt Boris' hand against her skin she knew more then ever there was only one thing to do… put her training to use.

The twelve year old kicked off the wall with her feet grabbing the moments surprise by slamming her forehead into Boris' causing him to drop her and back off walking into the other wall.

"You little BITCH!" Boris growled his voice full of pain, it was so funny how the man who had trained her for so long to deal with pain and take it at all cost would be hurt by a small jab like the one she had just delivered.

Mirror took her fighting stance and waited for Boris to recover. There was no use running, he would find and kill her anywhere in the Abbey and she had no chance standing up to the whole Abbey with just Tala, Kai and all her other friends' help.

"I see I have taught you well," Boris smirked standing up straight, but within a matter of second he was behind her and had grabbed once again by the waist and neck. This time she was pressed up against him with no chance of escape, he was holding her so tight she could feel her feet anymore.

TORI! Mirror screamed in her head, she couldn't think of anyone else who could help her then and there, Kai couldn't, he would be punished to hard for this if not killed and Mirror couldn't stand that.

The small boy from Mirror's room appeared in nothing but a blink. Oblivious to the world and Boris, only seen by Mirror herself. She saw the small boys cherry eyes flare with anger as the cameras on the wall began to rattle.

"What the hell?" Boris asked his attention turned to the cameras but his grip never loosening on the small girl.

Mirror could see blotched of black and white appear as she watched the boy, her oxygen levels were decreasing fast and she knew only another few minuets and there would be nothing for the boy to save, and for Kai to free.

"You were a pesky girl from the moment you came here, never listened to what you were told," Boris whispered in Mirror's ear, she could feel his breath on her skin only causing her to shudder in disgust.

Suddenly the little boy in front of her flipped his hand to the right, Mirror could almost see the flames rising in those orbs.

There was a moment of complete peace in which she felt nothing but air around her, but then she fell with a thump to the floor, Boris was nowhere near her. The small girl gasped for air, the air around her burning her throat and oxygen deprived lungs.

She looked up, the small boy was gone, not a trace of him left. He always came to her rescue, wherever she went, whatever sticky situation she was in, he was there.

Mirror looked to her side a found Boris slouched against a wall, his head down and not moving. She wasn't even sure he was breathing.

She didn't care, she didn't care if that son of a bitch died right there and then, in fact she would be happy, GLAD!

Mirror stood up slowly, her hand on the wall for support, the lack of oxygen still affecting her movements. She walked up to Boris and nudged him with her foot, Mirror knew that that wasn't the best idea, not after the fact that she knew he could be faking and could attack her at any moment. But she knew he wouldn't, she trusted the little boy, knowing that he wouldn't leave her in danger.

Boris still slumped didn't move, she knew he was out cold. Grabbing one arm she dragged him into the nearest classroom and shut the door. She couldn't have some random person walking past finding him and raising the alarm, no tonight she Kai and Tala were getting out of here and no one was going to stop her.

Mirror hoped that the cameras were off and no one had seen what had happened then, then again if they had there would be someone here already, with guns.

The young girl ran straight back to Kai and Tala's room no doubt in her mind about leaving.

"Let's go," Tala muttered grabbing Mirror's hand and leading her out of the room, Mirror in turn grabbed Kai's hand and pulled him along. Kai Hiwatari was the grandson of Voltaire Hiwatari therefore received individual lessons of well… how to be a grandson of Voltaire Hiwatari.

Kai hated his grandfather but he was thanking him, thanking him for being so stupid. In one of the lessons Voltaire had shown Kai the plans of the Abbey, all the security measures, guard shifts and even the times when the cameras were switched off. This was the time.

"Be quiet," Kai hissed getting ahead of Tala and leading his friends to the garden doors, there were no guards around and it was a clear night.

The three kids walked around a wall staying in the shadows in fear of being spotted by a stray guard. Mirror took in her surroundings, in all her time in the Abbey she had only seen this side a few times, students were forbidden to walk anywhere near the gate leading to freedom. It didn't look any better now when they truly were escaping to freedom then it did the few times she had been driven out for a mission.

"We're gonna crawl to that wall there, take a right in the shadows then wait for the truck that will leave at exactly midnight, there are always two guards in the observation box up there," Kai explained and pointed to a tower right in front of them. "There are another two in the box there, and there should be one more just scouting the grounds, if you see him, kill him understand?" Kai asked his voice serious and focused.

"Yes sir," Mirror and Tala whispered in acknowledgement. Mirror gazed at Kai as she fell to her knees and ducked amongst the grass, her friends doing the same. Kai was born to be a leader, he always thought on his feet and knew how to plan, everything she didn't take the time to do.

They crawled through the undergrowth, lucky for them the grass had not been cut yet so it covered them better, hiding them amongst its growing foliage. The three children manage to crawl right in to the next shadows unseen. Mirror got a glimpse of the two guards in the box by the gate goofing off, a television was switched and were watching a sports game not really paying much attention to what was happening on the CCTV cameras.

Mirror grabbed Kai's hand causing him to look back at her. His eyes were full of worry and determination. With one small reassuring smile he looked back at his goal checking if the roaming guard was anywhere near. With no sign of the guard one by one the kids slipped through the small, lit area of the corner to the shadows on the other side, still unseen.

Mirror grabbed Tala's shirts and pulled him up against her as a revolving light barely skimmed his side. Once the light was gone Tala smiled gratefully and they pressed on in search of the van.

Kai looked at his watch 00:02, there was no sign of the van or any guards which was worrying him. This was a lot easier then he had thought it would be, Kai looked back at his friends, they were both depending on him to get them out of here, Mirror was depending on him. He searched desperately for the midnight van, what if his grandfather had given him the wrong plan? What if he done it on purpose to see him get caught? See his friends get caught!

"There," He heard Tala whisper, Kai followed his gaze and sure enough there was the van driving slowly towards them, a sigh if relief escaped his lips as he grabbed Mirror's hand and pulled her to the ground, Tala following suit.

They crawled into the shadows it had now cast and straight under grabbing onto anything they could possible get their hands on. A guard from the box at the gate walked out of it and approached the van, they began to speak in fluent and deep Russian as the gate guard checked over the paper work.

Tala grabbed onto a pipe his feet gripping onto the end of the van where is slightly dipped, he had no clue how long he could hold on to the van but he prayed he could hold on long enough to get out of the gates and to freedom.

There was a pause in the guard's conversation in which the gate guard signalled to his partner that everything was clear and to open the gate. Tala gave a small sigh of relief as the vans engine came to life and they began making their steady way to the opening gate. He watched at the abbey was further and further behind, this was actually going to WORK! He couldn't believe it, the only time he thought he was getting out of the abbey was when he died, but all thanks to Kai and Mirror, his friends, he was getting out!

They were almost out when the inevitable happened… something went wrong. Before Tala knew and could do something about it his shoelace had caught onto one of the pipes, as he tried to get it loose his grip on the pipes slipped and he fell onto the ground below.

Mirror's eyes widened in horror as she saw what was happening, Tala had somehow lost his grip and was being dragged by his shoelace behind the van. There was no chance someone was not going to notice this and sure enough the guard who had been scouting the grounds saw him and raised the alarm. Suddenly there was a loud alarm, big flashing yellow and red lights were flashing, Mirror's head snapped up to Kai who was looking torn. The van had halted immediately, Mirror let go of the vans pipes and crawled right up to Tala who was desperately trying to undo his shoelace.

There were guards running towards then, the gate was closing slowly and Mirror's was dreading the fact she was facing, Tala and Kai weren't getting out, they weren't going to be free, they were going to be killed for trying to run away.

"Come on!" Mirror hissed as she finally managed to free the whole boot, the two kids jumped to their feet and ran to where Kai was trying to keep the gate open.

"Move it!" Kai yelled pressing his while weight against the closing gate, which wasn't doing much good. The two kids ran to him desperately hoping they would get there in time.

The gate was almost close; Kai's body was slowly being strapped between the two ends.

"COME ON!" Kai yelled desperately, Mirror pushed Tala in front of her as they approached the closing gate; she slammed Tala into Kai and pushed them both through the gate.

"MIRROR!" Both boys yelled as Kai arm reached through the ever smaller gap, he grabbed the material of her shirt and pulled her through. The metal shut seconds behind her as the three kids breathed in their first breaths of freedom.

But it didn't, seconds later guards were filtering out of the door in the gate and the kids were forced to run, they ran in to the lush grassland in front of the looming abbey building. Mirror shot a look back at her prison, the moonlight and the flashing light reflecting off the grey depressing building walls.

They jumped into a set of bushes rolling down a hill that led to the large light filled city of Moscow.

"Hurry!" Kai hissed getting back on his feet at the moment, he had just had a glimpse behind him and found the guards still chasing them, getting closer every second.

"Kai its no use!" Tala stated as they ran into a clump of trees then down another hill.

"We have to split up," Kai muttered, his voice unsure for the first time.

"We have to," Tala agreed, his eyes falling on Mirror then Kai as they continued to run.

"Promise me we'll meet up in Japan, Tokyo, in a week" Mirror said, Tala could see the tears in her eyes as she said those words.

"Japan?" Kai questioned.

"Trust me," Mirror whispered pushing the two boys away and running as fast as she could forward.

Please be there… please don't get caught!

Well there you go! Finished ha ha ha, this has got to be the longest chapter I have ever had the patience of writing, lol.

So ye REVIEW!
