Shorty: hehe yes it did seem like we lost Kenny for a little while but he is still there! He's been mentioned as being 'asleep in a corner' but he hasn't spoken much. If you think about it the kid doesn't have as much stamina as the others so he'd get tired easier than the others! good point though.
Frozen Love Chapter 13
'Right now…I'm the happiest person in the world. Reason? Kai. Everything is in place now…Kai loves me…he's allowed a whole other side of him to be seen by me. I feel special. Kai's never been the type to show emotion to anyone. He's always been so quite and collected. Or so we thought. All that's happened…changes everything. Kai's not as collected as we thought…who knew he has been suffering this much. Seeing him cry…I felt as though I'd accomplished something. As if…seeing Kai cry was like taking a step in our relationship. He trusts me now…and that's what's always mattered to me. Of everything I've always wanted from him…it's his trust.'
Kai lay sleeping in Tyson's lap. He had a serene look upon his face. His breathing had gone back to normal and he seemed warmer. Every now and then, Tyson would check the wound on Kai's leg. It'd stopped bleeding; now all he had to worry about was an infection.
'He looks so calm…so happy. And it makes me happy to know that he is…'
He ran his fingers through Kai's hair and sighed.
'We need to get out of here...I want to enjoy his company somewhere where we're not close to death…'
"Mr. Dickinson! Mr. Dickinson!" a voice shouted. Stanley Dickinson awoke with a start. He'd fallen asleep on the plane that was taking him to Hokkaido.
"Yes what is it?" he asked as he straightened out his jacket.
"I believe we've gotten a lead on the boys locations. There are a series of caves spread out all over the mountain. Some are within miles of the abandoned bus. If they were able to escape, then there is a possibility that they could be hiding out in one of those caves." Mr. Dickinson's eyes widened.
"Oh my! This is wonderful news! We must search the caves immediately!"
"Well there's a problem with that sir…"
"What is it?"
"There's a bad storm on the mountain right now. We'll send a land team out there to get a head start, but we can't go up the mountain in the air. The storm is too heavy to send a plane through." His face paled.
"Oh no….but if the storm is that bad then how will the boys be able to survive?"
"Well…there's a chance they won't…"
"What do you mean they won't!"
"I'm sorry sir…but with the conditions they are in and the fact they probably won't have much food…"
His heart began racing, he began to sweat and his body shook with fear. Five children that were his team…might be dead.
"This can't be happening…"
"We're doing everything we can..."
'I dreaded those words...'we're doing everything we can'...in this case those words won't save those boys lives. I don't know how much more of this I can take...but I shan't pity myself...it's the boys who need me now...'
"We have to get out of here..."
"Kai...you're awake..."
Kai nodded and sat up.
"Whoa there Kai. Slow down you still haven't regained your strength..."
"I may never gain any strength if we stay here much longer Tyson..."
"What are you talking about? You're not actually thinking of going out there?"
"The storms calmed..."
Tyson turned to look outside the cave. The entrance had a built up wall of snow but the weather was calm. The snow fell lightly and there was some sun shining.
"The sun...wow..." Tyson smiled and walked over to the entrance. He kicked some of the snow out, reveling a bit of an exit out of dark and gloomy cave they had been trapped in.
"We should try to find the others..."
"You're right but Kai...you're in no shape to travel..."
"I'm alright..." he said. He attempted to make his voice sound strong but it came out hoarse.
"Kai..."
"It's ok Tyson...we can't stay here forever...I think we're worse of if we stay here..." He struggled but he shakily stood.
"Kai!" Tyson ran to him and steadied him.
'He's pushing himself too hard...'
'I need to prove that I can move on my own...otherwise he'll never let us get out of here...'
"C'mon let's go...I'm sick and tired of this dark place..."
"Me too...but..."
"No buts...let's go."
Tyson went silent. He wasn't sure what do...Kai was strong but ever since he'd gotten sick and injured himself...he suddenly felt protective of him. When he saw Kai break down it was as if Kai was reaching out to him. And in a way he was. Those tears were Kai's way of saying 'help me...comfort me.' and ever since then Tyson had been there for him...physically and mentally. Yet he still feared of becoming 'overprotective'. Kai had always been one to deny sympathy or affection from anyone. Never had Tyson dreamed Kai would reach out to him. Now that he had he feared he'd make a mistake and Kai would withdraw himself all over again. It was the reason Tyson held his feelings to himself for so long.
'I was scared...scared he'd reject me causing his shell to become even harder and then I'd never reach him. Emotionally he'd always felt so far away from him but now it's like we've formed an emotional connection. A connection I fear I'll break. I don't want to lose what I've gained from him in such a short period time...I can't lose him...not him...the only one who ever bothered to say he loved me and accept for who I am...he's the only one who doesn't see me as a hyper kid who eats non-stop...instead he sees me as...someone he loves...and for Kai loving is a big deal. It's an emotion he's just now discovering. I feel...important to him...knowing that I am the one he loves...and I want it to stay that way...'
'He's the one I truly love and he's the only one who can accept me despite my past...the one I've given my heart too...it was he who showed me what love is. I discovered that emotion because of him...It's strange...I feel like I belong in the world now...'
With Tyson supporting him, the two began to make their way out of the cave. Stepping over the snow they escaped from the darkness and walked into the light.
"Come on guys! We need to find them!" Ray exclaimed as he as well as Max and Kenny began to gather what little belongings they had.
"We don't have much time...who knows if the weather will act up again." said Kenny as he packed Dizzie into his bag.
"Chief's right. I just...don't even know where we would start looking."
"But we have to try...we can't just sit here. Let's go." Max and Kenny nodded. Ray's voice had sounded demanding but they knew he was right. They exited the cave, the sunlight causing their eyes to squint.
'I have to take control of this...Max and Kenny are losing their faith and I have to keep them from giving up...'
"So which way do we go Ray?" asked Max.
'I wish I could give him a for sure answer...but I'm not sure...I'd say it didn't matter which way we go but it does. One way could take us closer and one could take us farther away from Tyson and Kai...what do I do...'
'I feel dizzy...and nauseous...I can't help wanting to throw up right now...but what would I throw up? There's no food in my stomach. At least we're moving now. With every step we take we're a little bit closer to salvation. C'mon Kai...you can make it.'
'Why is his body shaking...not the cold kinda shaking but the nervous kind...is he ok?'
"Kai you holding up?" I asked. He looked at me an nodded.
"Yeah..." I sighed. His obviously not true answer would have to do for now.
'My throat is burning...I can't...what's happening...' Kai's knees buckled up he began to sweat.
"Kai!" Tyson said surprised. The hand that hadn't been around Tyson's shoulders reached his stomach. Clutching it in pain.
"Kai what's wrong? Does your stomach hurt?"
He nodded, bending down to the ground. His hands fell to the ground where he sat on his knees panting.
"Kai? Kai what's wrong?"
'What's happening to him?'
Kai's eyes suddenly widened as he started gagging and coughing. Sweating from a panic, Tyson rubbed his lovers back, feeling it was all he could do.
"Kai! Kai!"
A red liquid fell from Kai's mouth to the ground. Tyson's eyes widened.
'Blood! He's coughing up blood!'
"Kai!"
'Blood...oh fuck...blood...what's going on...what's...happening to me...'
He continued to cough, holding his hand in front of his mouth. Blood trickled through his fingers and on the snow.
"Kai!"
'My world is hazy...it's all blurry...'
His body felt weak and as much as he tried, he couldn't hold on.
'Darkness...I can't...breathe...Tyson...'
He collapsed. His pale body falling onto the white snow next to the red blood that was absorbed in innocence.
"KAI!" His scream echoed through the hills. Tears ran down Tyson's face. His body filled with fear. His mind froze. His body had fallen next to his uncouncious lover.
"Kai...please wake up...please say something to me..." he wept. But his lover did not stir.
"Did you hear that?" said Ray.
"Yeah...it sounded like a scream." Max said.
"Do you think it could be Tyson and Kai?" suggested Kenny.
"Possibly. Either way there's life in that direction so I say we go that way!" Ray said pointing to the right.
"Ok let's go!"
They set off in the direction of the scream. Unknowing to all that would occur.
'Don't die…please….don't leave me here…I need you here...'
