Jay's P.O.V.
Zane continued running until there was no sign of Linda's men anywhere.
"I think we're safe here, let's rest," he said.
I sighed as Zane helped me down to the ground. Skylor was doing something that Sensei would do if he were here with us. I watched as she created a small ball of energy, like Lloyd's, but it was orange instead of green. She closed her eyes, focusing. She brought it close to the ground, then it split off into many directions. She kneeled on the ground, then her head shot up.
"There's two villages nearby," she said. "One due east and one a northwest of our current location."
"Cool," I said.
"Which is closer, may I ask?" Zane said.
"The one due east, but there are mountains near it. I can't tell if they're between us and the village or after the village."
"Which village?" Zane asked.
"I believe it's Ignacia," Skylor said.
Skylor then stared at us blankly, then shook her head for a moment.
"Nya's there, I feel it," Skylor said.
"Ok, so when shall we head out?" I asked.
"Allow Zane to rest for a few minute, then we'll head out again," Skylor said.
I sighed. I fell back into the sand, now lying on my back, looking at the sky. I sat thinking. What's happened to Kai? Is he OK? Is Nya OK? I allowed my mind to wander as I felt myself falling asleep. I never did, seeing that I was shaken awake minutes later by Skylor so we could get moving again. Zane picked me up and carried me on his back. We'll be there soon Nya, just hold on.
Kai's P.O.V.
I woke up in a cell, alone. I tried to move, but found that my arms were chained to the wall. I tried to use my powers but couldn't. Venge stone. I looked around to see if anyone was there. No one, just darkness.
"Kai, you traitor," someone said.
I looked around, but saw no one. Who's talking to me.
"How could you," he said.
That voice. It couldn't be.
"Quiet," a girl screech at him.
I heard the sound of a whip lashing at someone, then screaming. I finally saw him, bright green suit, now dark with ripped fabric and and crimson red streaks covered him. His soft blonde hair, dark, dirty and hanging in his eyes. Chained to a wall in the cell across from me, on his knees in pain. What did I do?
"Ah, he's awake," the girl said.
She walked out, leaving him alone. She walked up to me, still holding the whip. Little drops of crimson fell from it, hitting the floor with little echos, like her footsteps.
"He doesn't even know," she laughed, "does he?"
I hung my head in defeat, shame. He doesn't know. I could have helped him, but I chose to help the others.
"Pathetic," she sneered at me.
Then the whip lashed me, right across the face. I felt a warm liquid drip down my face, searing pain in my left cheek.
"You help the others escape, then left you dearest friend behind," she smiled. "Now, he doesn't trust you."
The whip hit again, this time, ripping through my suit and hitting my chest. I screamed. I felt the chains on my wrist come undone and I fell to my knees. She helped me to my feet and pushed me toward Lloyd. I kept my head down, unable to look at him, knowing how he must feel right now.
"Kai, what happened to you?" Lloyd asked me, sadness in his voice.
I bit my lip, then tears fell from my eyes. Linda threw me into the wall and I fell to the ground.
"Tell him," she ordered. "Tell him everything you've done!"
Tears everywhere, cuts burning, stinging. What could I do but tell him? Nothing. I looked up at him, tears building up in his eyes.
"I'm sorry," I mumbled.
"Kai, what's happened?" he asked.
"I helped the others escape, I wasn't in control," I explained. "Linda's other men captured me again and no I'm back here."
"Kai," Lloyd said, sadly and heartbroken.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself!" I cried out.
As soon as I said it, I saw tears in Lloyd's eyes. Why'd I just do that? I yelled at him when he needs me.
"As I said before, pathetic," Linda sneered.
She whipped me multiple times before leaving the cell with me and Lloyd in it.
"Lloyd," I said.
"What do you want," he said.
His voice was shaky, I could tell he was crying.
"I'm sorry for yelling, I don't know what came over me," I sighed, " can you forgive me?"
Lloyd was silent. I didn't know if he would. I didn't expect him to. After what I've done to him, I didn't deserve his forgiveness.
"Kai, I don't know if I can," he sighed.
As I thought.
"I mean, you're the reason I am here, captured."
"I know, and I'm sorry," I said. "I really am."
There was silence. Time moved so slow within the next few moments we were alone. Dripping was heard from other areas. Some of it was my own blood dripping from the cuts Linda gave me with the whip. Then, Lloyd spoke up.
"Kai, are the others," Lloyd said, unable to finish his sentence, not wanting whatever he was thinking to be true.
"They're alive, the should be close to my sister by now, I hope," I replied. "My sister, I wonder how she is right now."
"What do you mean?" Lloyd asked.
"She was captured with me and….." I stopped.
"And who?" Lloyd asked.
He didn't know, did he? How would I break it to him. Just straight out tell him.
"It's Cole, isn't it," he sighed. "You don't need to tell me, I know."
I sighed, "we faked her death and she escaped, still alive. Hopefully she's still safe."
I took a deep breath. That was easier than I thought it would be. He knows already, so Zane does too.
"Hey, where's Dash and them?" Lloyd asked.
"I forget about them, great," I said.
"They've escaped. LInda, the other prisoners escaped!" Liam yelled, running down the hall.
"Those kids, how!?" Linda cried.
"I don't know how, but they did," Liam replied.
Linda walked to our cell and right to me. She grabbed the collar of my shirt and pulled me to her face.
"Where are they?" I demanded.
"I don't know," I said.
She threw me towards the door to Laim.
"Take him to the torture chamber and prepare for me," Linda said.
"Yes master," Liam said.
He took me by my arm, and dragged me out of the cell.
"No, Kai!" Lloyd cried after me.
Then I heard an ear piercing scream from his cell. What did she do to him to make him scream like that. I hope he's Ok. Then I realised that I have my own problems to deal with.
I don't know what I'm doing anymore. I'm just going with what I type, as long as it makes sense. I want this to get exciting. Starting next chapter, I will have one group for each one chapter. The next one will be fore Dash, Nicki, Roy, Stan and Tylor. Then one for Jay, Zane, Skylor, Nya and Zack. Then finally one for Kai Lloyd, Ali and Linda. Those are the three groups that I will bounce with for a while. I hope you enjoy and I'm sorry if you'll be waiting a while to see what happens to Kai and Lloyd. I want to leave suspense there so I hope you enjoy and REVIEW!
