Frozen Love
Chapter 3
The snow had stopped falling. A grave silence filled the frozen land. The team was trying to conjure a way to get out of their broken bus.
"AHHH! We're going to die! There is no possible way we are going to come out of this situation alive!" the Chief, out of all the boys, was the most frightened, and had not stopped screaming since he woke up.
"Calm down Kenny. We'll find a way out of here." Ray said, trying to calm the boy down. It wasn't working.
"Come on guys, we gotta find a way out of here!" Tyson yanked at his hair in frustration.
"The window." Kai said. All eyes turned to their captain.
"The windows are all broken. We can climb out through them." Ray's eyes lit up.
"He's right! Great idea Kai!" The boys began to hoist themselves up and out the window. Kai was the last to climb up. He winced as he stepped up on the seat. An immense pain shot up his leg, affecting his whole body.
"Damn..." he muttered as he lifted himself up on to the side of the bus. Ray stared at him worriedly.
"Kai we should find something for your leg. You can't go on with it open like that."
"I'll be fine." he said as he slid down the side and onto the ground. He gasped lightly as he landed on his leg. His gasp went unnoticed to all the team...except Tyson who'd been watching his captain when he slid down.
"Here." said Tyson walking over. He was holding one of the blankets that they'd rescued from the bus. He began to tear it into strips.
"Tyson what are you doing!" Kenny exclaimed, almost dropping his lab top.
"Making a bandage. Don't want Kai to bleed to death."
"Don't bother. I'm fine." Kai said, backing away.
"No your not. Have you seen your leg?"
"He's right Kai." said Ray jumping down from the bus.
"You need to at least wrap up the wound. Otherwise you'll lose too much blood and pass out and being out in this frozen land won't help your situation now will it?" Ray said as-a-matter-of-factly. Kai sighed.
"Just leave me alone...hey!" he said startled as Tyson pulled his leg up causing Kai to fall to the ground.
"What the hell Tyson!" Kai shouted annoyed.
"Well you wouldn't let me so I had to use force." Tyson grinned. Frustrated and annoyed, Kai sighed and gave up, allowing Tyson to bandage his leg with the torn blanket. The other bladers stared in amazement at the sight.
"Wow...never seen Kai give up so easily." said Max as he wiped the blood from his own cuts using another blanket.
"Yeah well Tyson has that affect on people. Even Kai." said Ray.
"Even Kai?" Max asked, raising an eyebrow.
Ray gave a small smirk.
"Yeah, even Kai."
'But I think there's more to Tyson and Kai then meets the eye.'
"HOW CAN YOU PEOPLE BE SO CALM!" the Chief suddenly exploded.
Ray and Max looked down at their computer crazy friend and Tyson looked up from his work on Kai's leg.
"We're stuck halfway up a mountain! Miles a way from civilization! We have no food! No supplies! No NOTHING! And your acting like it's no big deal!" Kenny was in a panic. He was pulling at his clothes and hair as he spoke. His beloved lab top lay on the ground beside him.
"Kenny..." Ray said softly. He understood that they were in a dangerous situation but panicking about it would just make the problem worse.
"We could die out here for all you guys care!"
"Kenny!" Tyson shouted. Kenny froze and everyone's eyes widened.
"Everything's going to be alright. We'll get out of here. After all we've got Kai and he knows how to get us out of here. Don't you Kai?" Tyson looked into his captains eyes hopefully.
'Why does he have so much faith in me?' Kai wondered as he stared into the genki boy's eyes.
"Yeah..." he muttered. Tyson smiled.
"See? We'll be juuuust fine." Kenny sighed and sank to the ground and picked up his lab top.
"I guess..if you say so Tyson." said Max.
"So what do we do?" asked Ray. Tyson stood up and reached his hand out to Kai. Kai stared for a moment and then stood, without taking Tyson's hand. The dragon sighed and stepped back, allowing his captain some air. Kai looked up.
"You can see the wires of the ski lift from here which means we're not too far from the lodge. I think our best bet is to follow the road as best we can and try to make it to the lodge."
"He's right you can see them" said Max looking up.
"What about the driver?" asked Ray.
"There's nothing we can do for him now. We'll alert the people at the lodge when we get there."
"IF we get there." said Kenny.
"Stop being so doubtful Chief. We'll be ok." Ray said trying to cheer up the boy who was slowly becoming numb to their fate.
"Let's go." said Kai.
"Yeah...we need to start moving while there's still daylight." Max agreed.
"Kenny..." the boy looked up at Tyson who was smiling down at him.
"It'll be ok. I promise we'll make it out of here alive."
"How can you promise something like that Tyson? You don't know what'll happen!" Tyson winced slightly at the sound of Kenny's shouting. It was rare for the Chief to ever be truly angry.
"Look Chief...we're gonna try. We're really gonna try...it's all we can do. But we won't get anywhere if you doubt us!"
"Tyson's right! Whether in beyblading or surviving out here in the mountains we've never given up!" Ray agreed.
"So Kenny...are you still going to give up?" Kenny was silent for a minute, then he nodded.
"Great! Now." he said, turning to Kai. "We're ready to follow you!" Kai nodded.
"Let's get going." he said. Everyone nodded and they began their journey up the mountain.
A few hours past, it was only a short period of time left in the day. Soon, the sun would set, leaving the stranded boys left in the dark without shelter.
"We need to find a place to sleep." said Ray. The others agreed.
"A cave would be our best bet if we can find one." said Kai.
Another hour passed and the wind began to pick up. As the sky got darker, the weather got colder. Soon, it began to snow again.
"It's getting hard to see out here!" Max exclaimed as he trudged through the snow.
"I think I see something over there!" shouted Tyson . He pointed to a dark area that lay a few feet off the road.
"It looks like a cave!" Ray said, trying to squint his eyes enough so he could see through the fast falling snow.
"Let's check it out!" said Kai. The team walked off the road and into the woods where on the side of the mountain, lay a cave.
"A cave! Yay!" said Max happily. The group stepped inside and found themselves in a warm cave.
"I hope nothing lives in here." Tyson pointed out as he looked around.
"What! That would be terrible! What if a bear comes and wants to eat us!" Kenny exclaimed.
"I don't think that's going to happen." Said Ray
"Yeah this cave looks pretty deserted…" Max pointed out.
"Look over here!" Tyson exclaimed. He stood at the back of the cave pointing to a pile of wood.
"Just our luck." Said Ray.
"Yeah…now does anyone know how to start a fire?" asked Kenny.
"I do." Kai stated picking up two pieces of the wood. He began to rub them together and within seconds, sparks began to emerge from them. Tyson stared wide eyed at the small sparks that were turning into small flames.
'He just gets more and more amazing…it's unreal.'
"Awesome Kai." Max grinned at the heat that now filled the small cave.
"See Kenny….we have heat. We'll be ok for tonight." Tyson reassured.
'Tonight he says….' Kenny thought to himself.
"Well, we'd better try and sleep. We've got a long day tomorrow."
"Kai….how much further do you think we have to go?" asked Max.
"I'd say we are already half way up….but to be honest I don't know how much farther up we have to go. We'll just have to keep going and see."
"We need to try and find some food." Said Ray.
"He's right. But where are we going to find food out here?" the blond sighed and leaned up against the cave wall.
"I'm sure somewhere under all that snow there's something….I just don't know what."
"We'll figure it out tomorrow. For now get some sleep." Everyone nodded at Kai's words and began to find a comfortable spot to sleep in. Kai leaned up against the wall, picking at the fire with a stick every so often. Soon, everyone but Kai and Tyson were asleep. To Kai, Tyson appeared to be asleep but the dragoon couldn't allow himself to sleep when such an adventure was at their hands. All night, Tyson found himself staring at the wonder he'd come to know as his captain. He couldn't figure out why he was so attracted to Kai all of a sudden but Tyson wasn't one to let the little things drag him down. Instead, Tyson wanted to explore these new feelings and figure out what they mean. He sighed as he watched the phoenix sitting by the fire, the light of the flames lit up his face that seemed to have a mysterious aura surrounding them.
'Your such a mystery Kai…but….your a mystery I want to solve….'
