Frozen Love Chapter 9

A long hallway suddenly illuminated in light. A dark figure stood in the doorway. Frightened crimson eyes stared at the familiar figure. He backed up against the wall in a fatal attempt to escape the pain he knew would come.

"You cannot escape me Kai."

The young crimson-eyed boy gave a slight gasp as he held his arms in front of his face, trying to hide. The man stepped forward. The boy was now completely up against the wall. He had no where left to run.

"Try as you might young Kai. You are mine."

"No...no please! I'll try harder next time!" his voice was frantic. As if the words he said would save him. The man shook his head sadly. Mocking him.

"No Kai. Next time doesn't matter now. I'm talking about this time." he stepped closer to him.

"Time for your punishment Kai..."

"NO! I'm sorry!" he felt pain erupt through his body.

"Worthless child." a kick to his stomach.

"Making mistakes!" another kick.

"You dare to disobey me!" his body was thrown against the wall.

"You will never make a mistake again!" another kick.

"Will you Kai?"

"I..." another kick.

"WILL YOU KAI?"

"No...Grandfather..." A white light.

Kai's eyes snapped open. His breathing was ragged. His eyes darted around the area and realized.

'Just a dream...' Kai breathed heavily and lifted himself into a sitting position. He noticed Tyson curled up, sleeping peacefully by the fire.

'Wonder what it feels like to have a peaceful sleep.' he wondered. The snow had slowed down outside. Kai sighed.

'I can't believe he did all this for me...' he thought while observing his bandaged leg.

'No one...ever bother with me before. I always had to take care of myself. Especially in the abbey. There, it was survival of the fittest. If you couldn't keep up, you were terminated. That's...the life I'm used to. I just...wish I could have experienced life the way Tyson has. I mean look at him. He's just so...confident and happy. I wonder...what it's like to have a life like that. Kai suddenly winced.

'My head...' His vision became blurry again and he felt light headed. He groaned and lay back down. Hearing the noise, Tyson cracked an eye open. Seeing Kai awake, he lifted himself up.

"Kai. You ok?" he asked.

"Yeah I'm fine..." Kai muttered. Tyson rolled his eyes and scooted over to his stubborn captain. Kai's face was pale and slightly flushed. Despite the cold outside, Kai was sweating. Tyson reached out his gloveless hand and felt Kai's forehead. Kai glared at the younger boy.

"Just what do you think your doing?" he spat.

"Chill out dude. You've got a fever." Tyson stated sitting back down.

"I'm fine."

"Sure and that's why you passed out in the snow. Face it Kai. Your sick."

"I am not."

"Kai don't be so stubborn!"

"Then stop barging into my business!"

"Kai..."

Tyson sighed. It was no use arguing with him. But after all that's happened he'd thought for sure Kai would open up a bit.

'Guess I was wrong...'

'Why am I being such a jerk? He saves my life and this is how I treat him? Just goes to show how much of a bastard I am...Boris...I hope your happy. You have officially turned me into the biggest bastard on the planet. I can't even accept my problems. I'm sick. But I won't even admit it. Stupid pride...always getting in my way...I'm such an idiot!' Kai' s mind was screaming. All he wanted to do was let his guard down just once and let Tyson take care of him. But no...his mask wouldn't falter. He was stuck being the ruthless, cold person that he'd grown up to be. Even if it was not by choice.

The fire had begun to grow weak. Tyson noticed this and picked up some wood from the pile. He tossed in the fire. A few sparks flew and suddenly the cave was warmer. Tyson smiled. His face lit up against the flames. Kai couldn't help but admire how beautiful Tyson looked at that moment.

'I've fallen...and I've fallen hard. But he won't accept me. Just like I can't accept myself. I'm already cold...It only makes it worse that I'm gay...Tyson...is the one person I want...but he's the one person...I can't have. The one person I can't reach...' Kai's eyes felt heavy but he refused to let himself sleep. For fear of the nightmare came creeping back to him.

"You should try to sleep Kai." Tyson said, breaking the silence. Kai didn't reply. Tyson picked up the small cloth he'd used earlier to clean Kai's wounds. He walked to the edge of the cave and gathered some ice and wrapped it in the cloth. He then took it back to Kai.

"Here. Put this on your head. It should help with the fever."

"Tyson..." The blue-haired boy smiled and lay the ice-filled cloth on Kai's forehead. The coolness eased Kai's fevered mind and he found himself drifting off. Unable to fight the exhaustion, Kai fell asleep.

"You doing ok?" Max's eyes snapped open at Ray's voice. The raven haired boy was sitting by the fire, trying to keep warm. Max whom after his breakdown couldn't seem to fall asleep. His face was still tear-stained but at least he'd calmed down.

"Yeah...I'm ok." he replied. Ray gave a slight smile. Truth was, he'd been really worried about Max. After his breakdown, Ray had wondered how Max would take it if something did happen to Tyson and Kai. Of course they were all worried for them, but Max was having a hard enough time with them missing. If either of them turned up gone for good...well Ray was scared to think how Max would react.

'They had better be ok...I know I keep on telling Max to believe that they're ok...but the fact that we haven't run into them yet...it scares me. I just hope we find them soon. I'm tired of being stuck on this frozen mountain. A cup of hot coco sounds really good about now...'

A.N: I know...short...but I have to stop there for now. Chapter 10 will be out soon I hope. I have a performance in drama coming up so I might be delayed cause of rehearsal! But I will do my best! Please Review! I love hearing what you think! See you next time!
