Hey guys. I said that I'd update soon and I meant it. This has gotta be the most I've updated in a long time. Well here's the chapter so enjoy.

3. Torture and Training

When Bree had left Kai's cell he had decided that he would lean against the wall with his arms crossed and eyes closed. He didn't eat the piece of bread she gave him because he didn't really trust food since his mother died.

About Bree Kai thought, That girl didn't seem that bad but I don't know if I can trust her the people around here aren't very trustworthy. She did seem different from the others that arearound here though.

Thinking about his family Kai began to cry he couldn't helpit the tears just came down to flood his face. He missed his family and he wondered how his father and sister were. He also wondered if he would ever see them again and what would happen to him here in this strange awful place.

While he was leaning against the wall the door of the cell clanged open and Boris entered.

"Hello young Kai I see that you're finally awake."

"What the hell do you want?" Kai asked hardening his eyes not wanting this man to know he was crying.

."I see that you've been crying well here at Balkov Abbey you are not allowed to cry so I must punish you Kai," Boris said with an evil grin.

Boris drew out a long leather strap then flung the strap across Kai's back. He hit him again and again and when he had finished Kai's back was a bloody mess. Kai kept crying out in pain but that only made Boris whip him more.

"What are you hitting me for I didn't do anything?" Kai asked as he cringed in pain.

"Yes youdid you were crying. Emotions are for the weak Kai and don't ever forget that because the moment I catch any feelings come from you then you get whipped, understand?"

"Yes," Kai said trying to back into a corner. His eyes showed that he was scared, there was fear inthose crimsonorbs and Kai longed to go home.

"I said that if I caught any feelings come from you then you would be punished and when I say know feelings I mean that you can't show emotion either," Boris said and punched Kai black and blue.

When the punches finally stopped Kai put a cold mask onto his face so Boris wouldn't see how frightened he was or how much pain he was in.

"I will be back in an hour so we can start you're training. Lord Voltaire wants you to beyblade so I'm the one that gets stuck training you. I don't see why though there are students here that are much stronger but I mustnotquestion your grandfather so be prepared for a fun day Kai," Boris said.

He didn't get a response from the boy which satisfied Boris and he left the room leaving Kai to his pain.


Kai's POV

When the bastard left I just slumped onto the floor. My back hurt so much from the whipping and I could see the blood that fell from the cuts. It kept pouring out in its bright red colour. I knew that I should try and stop the bleeding but I couldn't see any bandages in the small cell I had been thrown into. I took off my shirt and started to tear it up into pieces that I could use as bandages. So I bandaged up my back the best I could and then lay on my stomach in too much pain to move. My arms, legs and gut hurt from the beatings and my back still burned from the open cuts.

What am I going to do? I wondered to myself fearing that if I spoke out loud then someone might here me.

I don't want to be here any longer but I don't know how to get home.

I sat by myself huddled in a corner of the cell I wanted to sleep but I knew if that evil man caught me sleeping then he would just hurt me even more. Time passed and the door to my cell opened but when I looked up it wasn't Boris that I saw but two children instead. One was Bree who I recognized from before the other was a boy who looked exactly like her.

Bree and the boy came over to me and Bree asked, "Kai are you alright?"

Still not knowing if I could trust her ornot I answered, "Yeah I'm fine."

"Sure Kai that's really fine now lie down."

I decided to listen to her I didn'twant to be hurt anymore and at the moment it seemed like Bree and this other kid weren't going to hurt me. She removed my makeshift bandages as gently as she could but it still hurt when she did it.

"I can't believe that he'd do this can't the bastard learn not to hurt people?"

"Sis this is Boris you're talking about he couldn't have a sentimental bone in his body if he tried," the boy put in.

"Yeah you're right Ben. Oh yeah Kai this is Ben he's my twin brother," Bree said introducing me to the boy.

"Yeah I could notice the resemblance. How did you two know to come here anyway?" I asked them curiously.

"I knew something was up when Boris came back with an evil grin on his face it looked like he'd caused someone pain and I guessed that it was you cause he asked me about you before he came here," Bree explained to me.

"Oh well then thanks I guess."

"No problem," she replied.

While we had been talking Ben came over to me and was treating the cuts on my back he had just finished bandaging it up again, making my back feel a little less painful.

Ben said, "Sis we should probably go knowing Boris he'll be coming in here soon."

"You're right bro, Kai did he say when he'd be back?"

"He said in an hour from when he was here before," I answered not wanting the bastard to return.

"Then that only gives us a few minutes we'll see you later then Kai," Bree said.

Ben added, "Yeah if you need any help you can just count on us. Most of the kids around here are nearly as bad as Boris but we'll be your friends right Bree?"

"Of course but Kai just to warn you try as hard as you can to keep your emotions bottled up inside of you if you don't then Boris will make your life worse then it already is," Bree said and put a hand on my shoulder.

"Thanks for the advice," I said and they left my cell.

End of Kai's POV


Ben and Bree walked back through the maze of tunnels, it was getting later in the day and they had to run laps this afternoon.

On the way Ben thought, That boy didn't seem that bad maybe a little pissed about something but he seems alright. It's hard to believe that there's actually a sane person around this place other than me and sis.

"So Ben what do you think of Kai?" Bree asked her brother.

"He seems alright but there's something bugging him," Ben answered.

"Yeah I know but he wouldn't tell me before."

"Give the kid some time it's probably pretty bad he'll come around eventually though."
"I know I just hope that Boris doesn't hurt him too much," Bree said she knew that Boris could make people change and she didn't want Kai to change one bit.

They were almost at the workout room when they bumped into Boris.

"What are you two doing you're supposed to be running laps?" He asked angry with his children.

"What can a kid not go to the washroom?" Bree asked lying to her father.

"Not when you're supposed to be running laps. And where were you really you couldn't of both gone to the washroom?"

"Well we did so can you just let us go we've had enough of you're ugly face for one day," Ben said using one of his favourite wise cracks.

"Yes get going and extra laps for that comment of yours Ben," Boris said and walked off to Kai's cell.

"Whatever like I said better than looking at his ugly face," Ben said to his sister when Boris was out of earshot.

"You said it now come on before he knows where Kai's bandages came from and he starts yelling his head off," Bree said and they went to run their laps.

When Boris returned to Kai's cell Kai's pain had lightened up a bit and the boy was fast asleep.

Boris kicked Kai and said, "Get up you little wretch."

"What the hell's going on," Kai said as he woke up.

"It's time for your training now be a good boy and come willingly."

"Fine whatever," he said not needing any beatings to get him going.

Kai was given the same drills that the other children had gone through earlier that day. The only difference was that he had more experience then the newbies and that he was made to work harder than the rest of the children. He wanted to quit but Boris kept the leather strap near his aching back as Kai was forced through drill after drill. When Boris let Kai stop he would have keeled over from exhaustion but Boris dragged him off to the room where Ben and Bree had went to and made him run laps all by himself seeing how everyone else had left for bed.

"Now that wasn't so bad was it Kai?" Boris asked him when he had finished his days training.

"Oh yeah it was really fun," he said sarcastically, all he wanted to do now was to go to sleep.

"Now Kai you will be up and ready with the other students at the crack of dawn. The training will be the same it will just get harder as you get more experience. Well what are you waiting for get out of my sight," Boris said to Kai and the boy left.

Well that was an interesting day, first I get beatings, then drills in beyblading and laps to finish it off. I hope tomorrow will be better and who knows maybe I'll even be able to see more of Ben and Bree, Kai thought as he lay in his cell.

The abbey was still strange to him but the moment he closed his eyes he had drifted off into sleep.
