Wow two chapter in one day this has got to be like a miracle for me or something. Well I've blabbed on long enough so have fun reading the story.
7. Breakout
Time passed by as Kai struggled to use his left hand for everything he did rather than his right. It was a good thing for the young boy to learn and as his arm healed he found himself becoming stronger. The day before he had even managed to beat the twins in battle proving just how much his coordination was improving. The constant laps were becoming easier as well and Kai found that he wasn't as tired as he had been when he was first brought to the awful place. Also his body was becoming accustomed to the daily beatings and he was finally no longer passing out from the sheer torture of it.
During the break of another dull repetitive day the three friends strolled through the abbey just walking and talking, not really doing anything in particular save enjoying each other's company.
"It's hard to believe you've been here a year already," Bree put induring a break in the flow of conversation.
"Yeah how's that old arm of yours doing?" her brother teased playfully punching his friend's arm.
"You know it's perfectly fine Ben and yeah it's kind of hard for me to believe how long I've been here too," he added with longing in his voice.
"You alright," the twins in unison asked.
"I'm fine just thinking," and before he could say another word they were confronted by two other boys, one with purple hair and the other a red head.
It was Tala and Bryan who had somehow joined the group of the only sane people in the entire abbey, though sometimes the group wasn't too sure if it was really they who were sane.
"Bro what do you want," Ben groaned.
"Came to check up on you two squirts," Bryan replied with a grin.
"We're not squirts," his sister protested with a glare.
Breaking the argument Tala commented, "So what's up with you guys?"
"Nothing really, any of you guys know a way out of here there's something I need to do?" Kai said his thoughts locked on how his father and sister must be doing.
"If we knew that we wouldn't be in this place," the older purple haired boy answered.
"Yep kids go in but they don't come out," Ben added in agreement with his brother for once.
"Why you so down today, what's on your mind Kai?" Bree asked with sympathy towards her friend.
"I'm just worried about my family I guess."
"They should be fine," she reassured placing a hand on the younger boy's shoulder.
Before Kai could begin to protest she tore her hand away and the group of friends made the long trek down to the room where they had to run their laps knowing their time together was almost up.
As they raced around and around the track Kai's mind was on different things then his usual determination of besting his friends seeing how they knew the routine far better than him and were far more accustomed to abbey life knowing what to expect of it. The young boy was sidetracked longing for home his mind remembering his mother's gentle touch and his father always trying to cheer him up.
I'll find a way out of this damn place and go see Dad and Kayla, Kai thought turning a bend in the track knowing that he was nearly done.
Upon finishing rather than go see Ben and Bree and walk with the twins back to his cell Kai had other plans and he stole off into the labyrinth of the abbey tunnels hoping he would come across a way to escape. Desire for the beauty of the outside world drove him on as he bolted throughout the darkening depths of the abbey. Kai knew his way well enough around the vile place but some parts he had yet to explore and as he assumed he was nearing the surface he guessed that this was one of those unexplored sections. After a long treacherous walk for fear he might get caught Kai emerged to his glee into thedeep blue of twilight.
Taking in a deep breath of the fresh outside air his spirits were dampened by a shout, "Hey kid what do you think you're doing?"
Kai wasn't given much time to answer or do anything elseinstead a big burly guard came up out of nowhere and yanked the boy up by his collar.
"Let me go," Kai demanded as he struggled to free himself of the man's grip.
"I don't' think so you're going straight to Boris," the big man replied dragging Kai back into the looming blackness of the abbey.
Boris strolled through the halls of his domain, his mood was light that evening and he seemed to be enjoying himself.
With a sly grin he thought, That little Hiwatari of Voltaire's seems to be quite strong. Save for my own children never have I seen a child adapt so well and quickly to Abbey life. Perhaps I may be able to find a use for him after all.
Just then the evil man turned a corner and his thoughts were interrupted as one of his men approached him with a struggling Kai held captive in his grasp.
"Sir I found him trying to make a break for it," the man reported once he had spotted his superior.
"Good now get back to your post," Boris ordered the man releasing Kai allowing the boy to fall unceremoniously to the ground.
Seizing the boy in his own grip Boris scolded, "No one leaves this place little Hiwatari and I believe your disobedience requires punishment."
"I'm not afraid of you do whatever the hell you want," Kai answered a cold expression covered his face masking the boy's anger and hatred towards the man.
"Sure you may not care about what I do but you'll have second thoughts when your grandfather gets through with you and I think a little visit with him will do your arrogance some good," Boris replied with an evil smirk.
Damn him getting stupid ideas to send me to that bastard, Kai thought as he was carried off yet again but his fate this time was far worse than just being forced inside the abbey.
Boris did not stop until he stood in front of his superior's office and waited to be allowed entrance by the other man.
Entering the office he bowed to theolder man and said, "Lord Voltaire I apologize for bothering you so late but I felt that your grandson should come and see you."
"And why is that?" Voltaire asked giving the two newcomers a cold stare.
"He was trying to escape the Abbey sir."
"I see leave us Boris I'll get through to him," his cohort ordered and the purple haired man left the room.
Looking upon his grandfather for a second Kai let the fear he was feeling show in his crimson orbs but then they returned to an icy look showing the anger and pure hatred he felt towards this evil man who was his flesh and blood. The two Hiwataris just glared at each other for a few moments matching the other's cold gaze but then Voltaire sent the boy to the ground with a hard painful punch to the ribs.
"Now boy you are here to stay and while you are here you will learn. If you don't obey and do as Boris and I tell you then maybe your precious little sister can join you and we can find out how she fairs in this place."
"You leave her out of this got it," Kai snapped enraged that his grandfather would even think of doing something to Kayla.
"I am giving the orders here boy not you now go to your cell and the next time I catch you doing something like this then your sister will have you to blame for her torment."
Kai left guessing that his evil grandfather would carry out the threat and he the boy didn't want Kayla to haveto suffer the way he was. He wouldn't forgive himself if anything bad happened to her and clouded with the thoughts of the day's loss he passed into a tormented sleep.
Well now that's finally done I hope you guys liked it and that this makes up for my lack of updates.
