Chapter 2: Why me?
Kai POV
I stared out onto the blackness and wondered. Why hadn't Kayla been chosen? Why me? Kayla had always sucked up to Grandfather, so I had guessed that she would be chosen, especially as she was the older twin. I thought about it for a while but decided to go back inside. But I didn't get very far. Kayla came to the door and pushed me back out.
"Kai Hiwatari, the best blader in the family," she said," Why did you get Dranzer? All I have got is Slythen. Tell me bro. Tell me your secret. Tell me NOW!"
"I really don't know," I told her. I was telling her the truth. "Please Kayla, believe me. I always thought that it would be you that got Dranzer, not me. Please believe me."
I was begging for her mercy. Only I knew, how evil she could be when she was angry. She was never evil to anyone else, quite the opposite in fact, especially to Grandfather. Kayla advanced on me and I braced myself for the worst, but she held out her hand and said,
"Shake and congratulations bro"
"Thanks" I was dumbfounded. I didn't know that Kayla could be nice.
But as soon as I grasped her hand, I knew I had made a mistake. Her hand squeezed mine and I screamed. She placed her other hand over my mouth to deafen the sound as she twisted my hand around. The pain was like nothing I had ever felt before even from her. How could a little girl only 15 minutes older that I be that strong? She pushed me back and my head hit the beydish and as it did it felt as though it were on fire. She let go of my hand only to grab my neck.
"Give me Dranzer"
"Never" I choked out "I will never surrender Dranzer. Grandfather gave him to me."
Just then she pulled me onto her and pressed my hand to her throat. Then grandfather came out. She pretended to be choking and he came over to us.
"Kai, what have you done?" he exclaimed with anger in his voice. It was in that moment that I realised where Kayla's anger, strength and power-hungry look came from. It was all in his eyes. I must admit, she was a good actor but I knew the truth. What I didn't know was, how she knew Grandfather was coming in the first place. Shame everyone wouldn't listen to me. Kayla told the rest a fantastic story which (of course) wasnt true. She said that I teased her about having Dranzer. That I challenged her to a battle and that when she refused I jumped on her. I tried to show them what she had done to my hand, but, as usual, they didn't care. none of them stopped to look. When I saw here the next day, she was still pretending but I saw her give me wink and from then on I vowed revenge.
