Chapter 4!

KAI POV

bad language in this chapter, you have been warned.
Kai started walking home, taking his time. Voltaire was unfortunately back from one of his business trips witch meant that if he went home now he would have to suffer Voltaire for even longer than he had to.

He wished that school wasn't over yet but then he remembered the day he had today and quickly took it back. He was still mentally kicking himself for letting Nula into the team so easily. What had he been thinking? What if she couldn't compete well in crowds or couldn't control her bit beast or... Kai couldn't think of anything else but he still couldn't help but worry about it anyway. With Kai everything had to be perfect.

He snuck into the house and hid from what he hoped were all the cameras. Climbing up the railing next to his room he entered the security code that would open his window. The house that he lived in had many valuable things in it so it was important that it had allot of security.

Once he had entered his room Kai relaxed he was safe for today and wouldn't have to put up with Voltaire's ridiculous report sessions. Kai had only just put his bag down when a small speaker that was next to his door crackled into life. It was Voltaire's voice projected through it that said

"come to my office on the third floor now and refrain from using the window when entering your room in future. You look like a common thief when you do."

Fuck fuck fuck!
Kai contemplated screaming out "noooooo!" at the top of his lungs but decided that it would be a bit too melodramatic and started heading towards one of Voltaire's many offices.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '

Kai knocked on the door and entered without waiting. He had been through this time and time again when Voltaire was home and was tired of pretending he didn't find it annoying.

'Hello 'grandfather'' Kai choked out.

Voltaire had always insisted that Kai should call him grandfather. It was true that Voltaire was his grandfather but Kai still resented calling him that. He had hated Voltaire from a very early age and he had a lot of reasons to do so.

'How was school?'

'Fine...we had bey blading tryouts today'

'Who did you pick'

'Nula Satiari'

'Odd name for a boy'
Here we go…
'Nula is a girl'

The effect was immediate. Voltaire stared at Kai not saying anything. It was obvious that he was furious. When he did start talking it was in a very soft voice that he often used to employees before firing or killing them.

'I thought that Mary Anne girl was the last Kai'

'Nula was the only person that could blade and it was Mariah not Mary Anne.' Kai said impatiently wanting his to end quickly Voltaire looked at him calmly and said

'Go away Kai. You disappoint me'
Kai left thinking it would be a grave day if he ever impressed Voltaire. ...

Kai entered his room and quickly locked the door. There was no way that he was going to come out of his room while that psychopath was here in his house. As if his parents had ever said that he could live here. Unfortunately they couldn't disagree being dead and all…

Kai didn't have much to remember his parents by but what he did remember he viciously guarded. He wriggled underneath his bed and lifted up the loose tile. Underneath it was a small wooden chest locked and polished. He took his necklace off and opened the chest with the key that hung on it. He never went anywhere without it in case it was discovered.

Kai looked through the contents slowly until he found what he was looking for. It was an old children's book. He already knew the story off by heart but it was nice to have the book there with him as he ran through it in his mind once more.

...begin story.

(Warning: twisted bey blade version of 'the snow queen)

There was once a small village in Russia that was covered in snow nearly all year round. A boy named Kai and a girl named Lena lived there.

Lena and Kai were in love and spent all there time together. They even worked in the same place (a small hotel) and lived next door to each other. One day however when they were ice-skating together a terrible storm blew in and what Kai thought was an ice splinter blew into his eye. From then on everything he saw was imperfect to him, even Lena.

He made fun of people who had the tiniest of flaws and was cruel to Lena who only wanted to please him.
Soon after this had happened a lady appeared to Kai claiming to be the snow queen. She took him away to her castle and made him piece together her evil broken mirror. She told him if he finished it he could go home. Unfortunately he could not find the last piece of the mirror and she made him stay there forever even though she knew the missing piece was in his eye.

When Lena found out that Kai was missing she became determined to find him. She went to the river with her ice skates and asked the river to take the shoes in return for Kai.
As she threw the shoes in she fell in the river also. A boat appeared from nowhere and she climbed in out of the icy water. The boat took her to the spring lady who helped her and tried to convince her to stay. Lena wanted to but she knew that she had to rescue Kai so she asked for directions and went on her way.

The lady of spring had told her that there was a new man who was to be married to the princess of summer. He had sounded just like Kai so she went there but soon found out it wasn't him and she had broken into the palace for nothing.

The princess and prince were both unhappy that she had crept into there palace but soon felt sorry for her. They gave her food and clothing and sent her on her way with directions to the snow queens palace. Unfortunately she was caught by bandits…

The queen of the bandits wanted to kill her but her daughter saved her because she wanted a friend. Lena wasn't a good friend though because she was so sad over never being able to see Kai again. Eventually the girl let her escape and even gave her a reindeer she owned.

Together they reached the snow queens palace. When she saw Kai he did not remember her. He only remembered the queen and how she was so perfect. Lena grew angry at how Kai didn't even remember who she was. She screamed for the queen to show herself but she was away.

Lena couldn't believe that after all the trouble she went to to find him that he wouldn't even remember her. She decided that she would stay here and freeze to death with him since she couldn't stand her life without him. As she threw her arms around him she began to cry.
He wiped the tears away thinking of how ugly she looked when she cried and then suddenly remembered who she was. He realised that he had hurt her terribly and he to began to cry for the first time since the snow storm. The piece of mirror dislodged from his eye and he saw everything like he had before.

Lena and Kai left the snow queens palace after destroying the mirror together. They went back to there village and lived the rest of there lives happily together

The end ...

Kai had always wondered if he was named after the boy in the book. He would never know now but that didn't stop him from wondering.

He sighed and put the book away. It would be fitting if he was named after the book. He was like the character in every way except that in his case there would never be a happy ending.

At least that's what he thought. He was stuck in a castle of ice and anyone he had ever loved was long gone...

After checking that the tile was in place properly he got out his neatly organized homework and began to absent mindedly, fill it in. He had enough of guessing about his past. He should be more worried about his future anyway with that psycho wanting him to inherit his sinister business.

One day he would leave this place and never come back. There were some places he just never wanted to be in and Voltaire's company was one of them.

THE END… until next chapter anyway!
