Torn
Chapter 8…okay, I'm going to stop counting now…
Stupid Rei, be kind to the 'guests' but not me! Humph! I'll get him back! I'm currently walking the dogs with Rei, as we do every Sunday. Of course, Tala's afraid of to small harmless puppies! Wimp…Anywho.
"So, I was thinking about buying some stuff for the puppies, do you mind?" I probably do.
"No, not really…why?" He shrugged.
"Cause, I wouldn't want to buy them and the have you shout at me."
"Yea, you're right, you wouldn't." He smiled and laughed a little. "What's so funny?"
"You, you never really used to act like this when we were all together." He said, I presume he was meaning Tyson and the others. He looked at me, obviously expecting a reply. I looked back at him. "Why…was that?" I shrugged and turned back to the path, deep in thought. We were walking towards the hills.
"I never really trusted anyone enough to open up around them…"
"What about Tala?" I looked at the clouds.
"It took him years to gain my trust…then shortly after, I left the abbey…"
"Don't mind me asking, but…why are they looking for you?"
"He…well…" I sighed. "You know that there is no such thing as a life sentence, right?" Rei's eye's widened. "He might get discharged very soon, I don't think he has long left before he leaves, but every one knows that when he gets out, he's gonna want to see me, and if I'm not there…he'll…take it out on the others…I feel bad for leaving them…but I couldn't…" I felt his hand touch my shoulder. He was smiling sadly, I smiled back. "I couldn't face him again."
"Don't worry, but…" He was probably afraid to ask a question. I smiled at him.
"Go ahead."
"Why doesn't Tala report you, why is he just lingering? Shouldn't he tell the others where you are?" I then realized something.
"The phone calls…he's…" I ran back though the woods, I could here Rei call me. I didn't care! I had to find Tala!"
Tala's pov.
I looked out to the woods. I was happy Kai had found someone who would look after him, and who he could trust, I sighed and picked up the phone, dialing a number.
:Tala, are you sure you want to do this: I heard the other person say, his voice soothing.
"Yes, Kai's happy hear, I'll accept his punishment."
:He might say no…he might take you both…:
"He hasn't got enough time to take us both…I don't want him to have to leave his paradise."
:His…paradise…: I could feel him smile. :I remember that place…: I smiled as well, silent tears streamed down my face.
"He can't kill me…as they said, I'm already dead…"
:Tala I-:
"Bryan, this is my choice, not yours, my decision, anyway, I can be repaired…he can't." The other line was silent, I could hear Bryan breathing. "I'll be ok. I'll just get hurt a little-"
:A little? You'll be hurt badly! You'll have to live with it!" I cried some more. :And those tears strolling down your face, that's proof you have a heart:
"I don't want to hear it Bryan…I'll be fine…just hurt…I'm just another spare part anyway…"
:No! You're not Tala! You're still human! You-:
"SHUT UP!" I snapped, allowing the tears to come out fully. "I said I didn't want to hear it! It's my choice! I don't want someone dying when I can prevent it!" I calmed down a little. "And who knows…maybe they'll then be able to fix me…" I heard a noise that sounded like someone running up the stairs. "I have to go, can you book the flight to Holland, then I'll go straight to Russia!"
:Ok, see you soon…: I hung up and ran into the bathroom. Hoping that I could wipe my eyes. I heard someone come into the room.
"Tala! Get out here NOW!" I heard someone ram their fist to the bathroom door. "TALA!" I looked in the mirror. Good thing my eyes don't get blood shot. I flushed the toilet and ran the tap, turning it off then walking out the bathroom. Kai suddenly pinned me up against the wall.
"Kai! You're going to hurt him!" I looked to the door. Rei was stood there, panting. And Kai was out of breath to.
"Stay out of it Kon." Kai snapped. Rei withdrew, but stayed at the doorway, ready to run or stop Kai if he did anything stupid, but not as ready as he was. I smiled at Rei. I knew he didn't think Kai would do anything stupid. "What are you planning!" I looked at Kai.
"What do you…mean?" I got a slap round the face, I heard a small noise from Rei's direction, but Kai didn't register it. Normally he would, but not this time. "It's my desition not yours." I said, receiving another slap.
"That doesn't answer my question. Rei, calm down." I looked towards the younger boy. He was on his toes again, slowly backing down.
"I…I can't tell you why."
"Said who!"
"You'll try to stop me!"
"That's not the point!"
"I want to make my own choice!"
"I don't want my best-friend to be killed!" I looked at him straight. His eyes where wet Rei was in a state of shock. I would be to…
"I can't die Kai…" His eyes widened. "Not unless I'm a full human being again…I can't…" He started to cry.
"You can't leave me…you can't…"
"I can't ruin you paradise…over something like this…" His grip loosened and his head fell on my shoulder.
"But how could I have a paradise…without the people who helped me make it…" I patted his back. I looked at Rei who looked back at me. I nodded my head and he went to get the toilet roll from the bathroom. He patted Kai's back and gave him the roll.
"You will have us…all of us…I promise you, once he's gone…I'll come back, but next time…it will be all of us…"
