Chapter 12
Katelin pushed herself up, suddenly forgetting about why she had been running. Sadly she would remember what had happened later on, when it was too late.
"Where's Cai?" She demanded.
"Don't worry." Chase said smirking "He's safe, for now at least…"
Katelin's fists trembled with anger, she sighed "What do I have to do to get Cai back?"
"What do you think?" He said coldly, but not exactly sarcastically.
Katelin remained silent, her mind racing 'This is only for the solstice, right? Right…? Of course it is. I mean… Dojo would have said something about it, right? Right…?'
"Any day now." Chase said sarcastically.
"Ok!" Katelin quickly blurted out. She wasn't entirely sure if it had been the right answer, but she was hoping that it would only be temporary. She bit her lip, shunning the doubtful thoughts from her mind. Of course it was only for the solstice. How could it not be? But still the doubts kept coming back.
"Oh and by the way…" Chase said, interrupting her train of thoughts "It is permanent."
Katelin became very silent, her head lowered. Her blond bangs covered her face so that you couldn't see the expression on her face. Kira nudged her heel with her nose, silently ushering her to where Cai was. William followed them, not daring to look back at Chase and Wuya.
Cai paced around the dark room that he was being held in. He decided that there was no use in frantically running around trying to find an exit as if the world was about to end. After all he had already tried that when he had first woken up, who knows how many hours ago. The only option left was to wait for something to happen. Cai's ears perked up as he heard a door creak shut. Katelin had come in and was sitting down, pulling her knees close to her chest, her face lowered. William flew over to Cai, glancing at him. Cai nodded and padded over to the girl. He looked up at her face and he could see that she was thinking.
Katelin bit her lip "M-maybe when a new shen gong wu activates I'll be able to go back with the monks…" She said quietly.
"Yeah…" Cai said weakly.
"I guess I might as well make this as hard as I can for him in th emean time." She smirked.
Cai gave a small nod and walked over to William.
"She'll have a hard time with that plan." The crow whispered to him "Chase Young doesn't like using the shen gong wu, so naturally he won't try to get any. Plus he may have already thought of that before her."
"Should I tell her…?" He murmured back.
"No. I doubt that there'll be any more shen gong wu revealing them selves anytime soon. Plus she doesn't really need anymore on her plate at the moment."
The white haired young girl stood outside the room, one small hand resting on the door. Her clear blue eyes lingered on the floor. She heard the small sound of footsteps approaching. She looked up in time for her eyes to lock with a golden orange pair. Chase's eyes burned with cold hatred, she felt her fists clenching with pure fury.
She was running through a meadow. Her heart pounded with complete happiness, hoping that this happiness would last forever, yet not knowing that it would end abruptly in the worst way possible. And that way was the loss of the most important person in her life. She let go of his hand, running to the edge of the hill overlooking a field. She turned to look at him.
She blinked out of her memory, and turned her back to Chase. She heard his footsteps as he walked away. She clutched the fabric of her dress, fighting back the tears.
A/N: Yo... not sure if I really like this chappie too much... Well anyways it gives a little bit of backround to the young girl. So yes, she is important. And about the awkwardness of the Katelin part... that's the part I don't really like too much. ; What I mean by her over-optimism is that sometimes when people are in tough positions they'll try to find something to hope for. But I couldn't have her all sad because I have a bunch of funny stuff that'll happen with Kira and Cai arguments. Anyways regardless of this being a er... not-my-favorite-chapter please review. Thankies!
