Ok, let's see if this chapter can match up to the last one.

Lunar Fire: thanx for review!

AngeloflLight: You didn't have to go back, Leon is adorable, and he's so much like a kid

ShadedRogue: I know it's confusing I feel like Robert Rankin and Terry Pratchet when I write it or even try to explain it

Tai-writer: Blunt? That's not half of it

Mrsalexwatkins: The more OOC-ish the cuter but too much OOC-ish the worst, because he ain't Kai no more.

Disclaimer: Fat chance of that ever happening

Chapter 18

Kai was sleeping when Tala entered the silent room.

He held a plastic cup of black coffee and a chocolate doughnut; he looked over at the sleeping Kai, his chest rising slowly.

He sat down in the chair and placed the items on the table next to Kai, it was a silence in the room, Tala would have liked it if Kai was awake, and things would be a little easier.

"I'm going to see Voltaire today; I and Bryan are going to find out what's been going on".

There was silence, Tala sighed and rubbed his temple, "I heard about you meeting Leon, he's quite a character, but very different from you Kai.

I wondered; if something had ever happened to you before you came to the abbey or if you are as different as you believe yourself to be".

"I brought you chocolate doughnut, I know how much you like them and some coffee, just the way you like it too".

There was a pause and Tala reached inside of his pocket, in his jacket there was a box, a small wooden box, it was tiny.

He opened it to show a ring, a gold engagement ring, "You know those day's you joked about Faye and me. I was hoping to marry her when we escaped. Last week I found out she'd committed suicide, this ring was for her.

Now you're probably wondering why the hell you are telling me this. Well you see I want you to hold onto this for me when I go".

Tala place the box into Kai's open palm, he looked down at him friend and said, "Get well Kai".

Tala got up and headed for the door where Bryan waited, "You ready?"

Nodding Tala looked back at Kai one more time before he shut the door and left, missing the crimson eyes opened, his hand clutching the wooden box.

"Tala…"

The Breaker's, said their goodbyes to Tala and Bryan, watching them leave, Leon watched as Tala ruffled his hair and say, "You look after Kai while I'm gone".

Smiling the small boy watched them leave.

"Do you think it's a good idea Mr Dickinson?"

Mr Dickinson looked at Kenny and smiled, "They are Abbey Boy's. They will do whatever they feel is right".

Leon looked up at the man and frowned, "Is Kai an Abbey Boy?"

Miss Riley picked him up and said, "Yes, Kai is a Abbey Boy"

Leon looked at the red head disappearing into the unknown.

Rika had entered the room, Kai was in waking stage, and she stood at the door and smiled at his sheepish look.

"Tala's gone you know, the doctors want to take some blood tests of yours and Leon's, Kai are you listening?"

Kai had a blank face, his eyes were hollow and his face was nothing but whiteness, "Why'd he have to go"

"Tala? He said he needed to, he said he needed to find the truth about Faye…who's Faye?"

Kai smiled softly and said, "Faye was Tala's secret lover. She was the only girl in the entire abbey. She was pretty, strong; she was also Boris's daughter".

"I thought Eve was his daughter"

Kai sighed and said, "He clones Eve for a son, got a daughter again, but this time he began to mold her, without a mother's consent"

"But Eve's the real thing?"

"Yes"

"Why does he need the truth about her"?

Kai gripped the wooden box, "He loved her, always did and always will"

"Loved, you mean he doesn't any more?"

Kai shook, "I mean she's dead"

"What!"

"She killed herself, Tala needed to find out if it was true, he'll never be the same when he finds out it is".

Rika was sitting now, "What are you holding Kai?"

Kai opened his hands to see the box, he opened it with difficulty and smiled, "It's an engagement ring for Faye. We were planning on escaping and he said when he does he'll marry her".

"Why'd he give it to you?"

Kai closed his eyes, "Because he fears he'll never return"

"I don't understand"

"Tala fears that he will die when he enters the mansion, he fears he'll be dead, he fears that he'll never return to see or feel love again".

There was silence and Rika asked if the outing with Leon went well.

This made Kai smirk and he looked straight at her, "It did, how was Scot, you two going out yet"

Rika blushed and seethed, "Fine thank you and yes we are"

Kai laughed, "No need to get cocky just asking, you know it was obvious from the beginning right?"

"I think I'll go and get some lunch, you want anything", she was ignoring his question and he respected her for wanting to keep her privacy.

"No thanks, I'm fine"

Rika was standing and headed to the door, "Rika?"

"Hmm"

"Thanks"

"For what"

Kai shrugged, "For showing me that everyone is human no matter how they are born", Rika snorted and left.

Kai looked out the window and held the ring, "Oh Tala what have you got yourself into".

Boris saw them coming, he saw them as they entered the gates, as they entered the rooms, the corridor.

"This way", said Bryan as he directed Tala to the laboratory.

They entered, cameras zooming in on their heat signals.

"What is this, Frankenstein's return?" joked Bryan, Tala though was more serious.

Tala saw a tube at the end of the lab; it contained a greenish, blue liquid.

He walked towards it and saw inside and gasped, Bryan came closer and shook his head, "No it can't be".

Tala placed a hand on the glass, "Oh but it is, and it's the original alright".

Inside the tube was a replica of Kai, but with no shark fins, his hair was more under control and he had a softer look.

"Tala look", Bryan had wondered towards a desk and Tala looked to see what he'd found.

There were photo's, of the original Kai, smiling and being happy.

Then there were pictures of the Kai he knew, he was scowling and had his hand in front of his face most of the time.

Then there was Leon, who was just like the original, Tala frowned, "What happened?"

"What do you mean?"

"Look, Leon is like the original, why isn't Kai, why is Kai so…Kai"

Bryan frowned and held the picture of the original and stared at it hard, "Because he had a family Tala"

"What"

"The original had a mother, a father and a sister, Kai had no one, Leon had Voltaire and Miss Riley, which even counts as family".

"But why has Leon got his memories?"

"Because Voltaire must have realized that with the memories of his parents and his sister he could use his emotions as anger and hate for dieing"

Tala looked at Bryan in an odd way, "What! It's boring in that hospital, I read a lot there", Tala just shook his head and touched a video tape.

51254

Was written on the label.

Tala saw the TV and, placed it inside and pressed play, the blank screen lit up to life.

The video was done by camera, inside on of the cells it seems.

There was crashing noises and blade against blade.

There was crying in the background, and then screaming.

A small boy was thrown inside the cell.

Tala squinted to see who it was, Kai?

Someone from under the camera was suddenly at the boy's side, it was another boy, he had bandages around their wrists and ankles, blood stains on their clothes, you only saw their back.

The boy who was crying looked up they spoke, rapidly in Russian.

Tala had to squint again to see who it was, it wasn't Kai it was Faye.

They spoke for a bit before Faye made the other boy sit, they looked around nine.

Faye held a white scarf in her hands, the other boy suddenly heard beeping; it was coming from the camera.

He turned so face the camera and launch his blade into it.

"Tala was that Kai"

"Seems so Bryan, but what was he doing there, he rarely left our cell"

The camera took some damage but then the last thing they saw was Faye handing the scarf to Kai and then blank.

"Well that was weird"

"Not until you know what they were saying my dear boy"

The two turned to see Voltaire and Boris standing there watching them.

"Well, what were they saying?" asked Tala, folding his arms.

Voltaire came a step forward and said, "They were saying my dear boy, is between me and them, funny you couldn't understand them".

Tala huffed, "I'm still a little rusty on the Russian"

"Hmm, you really want to know what they were saying Tala"

"Yes",

Boris was smirking and said, "They were planning on escaping, without you or Bryan"

Tala was shocked, "No you're lying, Kai wouldn't do that, he promised we would escape together, he swore".

"So then you don't remember those long day's of training when Kai would disappear, only returning the next morning worn out and sweaty?"

Tala remembered perfectly well, because he was the one who questioned him, and then Kai never disappeared again.

"The thing that made him stop disappearing my young Tala was when he found out you loved her, he felt as if he'd betrayed you, which he'd already done anyway".

Tala turned to Bryan who was not speaking.

"You remember those days when Kai wouldn't leave your side and you made that pact. That when Kai found his family you'd marry Faye".

Tala nodded, eyeing Boris and Voltaire.

"That was the day she disappeared"

"What?"

"She ran away my dear boy and was never found"

"So she's not dead"

Boris laughed, "Is that was you believe, do you really think a daughter of Boris could die so easily".

"So the rumors were true she was your daughter"

"Was? What are these was business boy, she is my daughter and she's alive and well. And she's not just my daughter, she my creation, like Kai"

"Kai is not an experiment Boris,"

"Oh, Kai is a clone boy. A clone, he is a enhanced version of himself, he is a test tube, he is my creation, the first to survive, and Faye, the second"

"Second?"

Boris nodded and slid his grimy hands on the TV, they were so close, and Boris had been advancing as they spoke.

"She is the better more superior version of my original daughter; I believe you've met her, Eve Riley?"

"Eve? But that can't be, she is not like you, she is kind and gentle, she looks after Leon as if he was her own child".

"That is why I made another, Faye. I'm sure Kai knew this, since he spent most of his time with Eve as a child in the mansion".

"What!"

Boris put on a fake smile and said, "It seems my boy you are always the lost to know this thing, right? Let's see, what do you think happened to Kai after Black Dranzer those many years ago?"

Tala had never really thought about that, "Went to Voltaire"

"Correct. There he met Eve Riley, she was studying art, I couldn't let her out, she was supposed to be thought dead, and she doesn't even exist.

They became friends, and Eve told him of what the abbey was doing and so, she left, one day she just disappeared".

"Where did she go?"

"It's not where it's who with. Eve met Scot Duffy and went with him, they were gone so long I forgot about her, when suddenly she's on my doorstep. You remember Scot Duffy, he the one with the scar done his cheek that Kai gave him"

"Scot! I knew I recognized him, but why?"

"Scot was the originals best friend as you are Kai's; he and his family of siblings are trying to put a stop to this".

There was a slight pause and Boris asked, "You know what the cure for Kai's disease is Tala"

Tala shook his head; Boris smiled and said, "There is a formula on the soul of Leon's foot that is the cure".

Tala gasped and suddenly felt something cold and steel running down his body, he turned to see the test tube with the original Kai inside.

He felt a small steel object on his head, he didn't dare turn, and he looked down to see Bryan on the floor bleeding.

He turned around and the guns hot landed in his shoulder, he gasped and without thinking began to run.

He didn't care where or how he was moving so fast he just ran.

"Get him!" called Boris and people ran after him.

Tala turned down a corner and suddenly was hit by a car.

He was flung into an air and landed on the cold ground, "Boy, hey boy, are you ok? someone call the hospital!"

He opened his eyes, and closed them again, 'Faye…'

Well, what do you expect I'm the greatest?

Here's a profile on Miss Eve Riley:

She's got purple hair but darker, much darker, blue eyes; she's pretty tall, not as tall as Scot though he's a giant. She looks like Boris in a nicer way and loves Leon o bits, which can't? And she's 20 years old, end of story, jeez Boris is old!
