Chapter 7

Kai's POV

It's weird, being here at St. Peter's again. And in a wheelchair no less. Tala's lucky; his parents are alive and well.

What am I doing? Getting jealous of the person I love most? Not good.

My parents didn't even get much of a life, all curtsey of Voltaire. Thanks much. My mom, dead at age 28. 28. And don't forget my dad. 33.

The last time I saw them was my 6th birthday. And grandfather didn't let us together for even 10 minutes. And before that I rarely ever saw them after I came to Moscow and the Abbey and the torture that became my life.

Of course just a short while after my 6th birthday, Voltaire "informed" me that my parents' death -- "won't be coming to see me anymore" were the words he used.

Then of course later I found out that they had died in a car 'accident' set up by none other than Voltaire himself. I don't think he like that my parents were trying their best to get me out of the Abbey and out of Voltaire's reach. Not forgetting the fact that my parents loved me. No, I don't think he could handle it if anyone did that to his tool.

Tala is holding my hand now. Thank you. I'm glad that I'm here with him, instead of anyone else – i.e. the Bladebreakers.

Wait a minute.

" – Tala? –"

" – Yeah Kai? – "

" – Don't you think it's a pretty weird coincidence that my parents died in a car crash here in Moscow, and I nearly died in the same way? – " Tala's not answering. Instead, he's staring at my parents' graves. "Tala?"

He sighed. " – We were going to tell you tomorrow, but . . . I guess you've kinda figured it out." He's still looking at the graves.

" – What do you mean I've kinda figured it out? – "

He sighed again and turned to look straight at me. " – You when you woke up from the coma and I went to go tell everyone? – " I nodded. " – Yeah, well, when I got there Bryan was talking to a police officer. Apparently they had tracked down the guy that slammed into you because of all the complaints they were getting from the witnesses who were saying that it was obvious that it wasn't an accident. They found and arrested the guy and found out that Voltaire had hired him to kill you. – " He paused. I was kinda expecting this but it's still awkward. " – Kai . . . I'm so sorry I didn't tell you before. – " It's amazing how much those beautiful blue eyes of his show. " – I know I should've – "

" – Don't worry about it Tala. – " I give him a small smile. " – I'm guessing this is why you didn't let me anywhere near the news, eh? – " He smiled back. " – Hey, it's not like it's the end of the world. I still love you too much. – "

" – I know. – " We were silent for a moment after that but I couldn't hold back the laughter any longer without blowing up. Laughing is supposed to be good for you, so, what the hell? Why not?

Tala's POV

It's getting kinda dark now, we left the cemetery a while ago. Actually, to be truthful, we didn't "leave", we were more "kicked out" by the clergyman because we were laughing and it was bothering other people. So . . . yeah.

" – We should be going home about now, it's getting kinda dark. – "

Kai nodded. " – And you wouldn't want to miss your favorite TV show, "24", would you? – " He laughed, looking back at me.

" – Yeah, well, don't go lying by saying it's not one of your favorite shows as well, - " I said, smirking back at him. Kai stopped laughing abruptly. " – What's wrong Kai? – "

" – Stop. – " I stopped. " – Didn't you hear that? – "

" – Hear what? – "

" – It sounded like a little kid crying – "

" – No, I didn't… – "

" – There it is again! Do you hear it now? – "

Yeah, it does sound like a little kid crying! " – It's coming from that alley, – " I said, pointing.

" – Well, come on then! – "
