Previously...

Her blood ran cold as Omens red eyes looked into hers. He smiled and before she could scream, crashed his lips onto hers with bruising force. Hilary managed a muffled scream, which made Ray and Kai whip around instantly. Kai saw Omen, with his mouth covering Hilarys. She looked petrified. Kai felt his blood boiling. A demon inside of him was screaming to be released, to be allowed the satasfaction of ripping the black haired red eyed boy limb from limb. Omen broke off from Hilary and smiled at Kai, licking his lips and savouring the girls sweet taste in her boyfriends murderous eyes.

----

Normal POV...

Pure rage built inside of Kai, on the verge of boiling over and ust charging at Omen, but his common sense and concern for Hilary's saftey held him back. Ray also felt hate boil inside him but was no where close to the level Kai's was on. He began edging closer with clenched fists. Omen smiled. He could feel Hilary trembling in his arms and against his torso. Hilary couldn't escape the black-haired teens vice like grip. Her throat seemed to be obstructed by her pure fear.

'K-Kai!' she whispered histerically, 'P-please h-elp m-me!'

Omen's arms around her body hugged tigher, pulling her back into his chest further. She felt him bend slightly then felt his breath beside her ear. She shuddered as his voice came out cold, merciless and with a hint of amusement.

'Kai can't help you...' he whispered, 'You are mine. Oh, and I am sorry about the whole trying to kill you thing. You know I didn't mean it.'

He ran a finger down her smooth neck and around the padded patch that Ray had put over her cut. She cringed and cried at his touch. Omen noticed Ray and Kai were starting to get closer and whipped out his knife, holding it against Hilary's throat. She whimpered at the touch of the cold metal on her unprotected neck. Kai and Ray immediately stopped, their eyes glued to the blade. He didn't really want to kill Hilary but would if he felt the urge.

'Ah ah, you two get back!' he said threateningly, 'I'm sure you'd prefer that Hilary had her pretty little head on top of her neck don't you Kai?'

Kai gritted his teeth angrily He and Ray stepped back. Omen smiled and noticed the burning hatred in Kai's eyes.

'That's better,' he said lowering the glittering blade, 'Now,' his voice was low and malevolent and was said with an evil smile, 'Turn around, and walk away... and don't look back!'

Kai and Ray didn't move a muscle. Both were infuriated by the order he'd just given them. Omen smirked at their defiance and spun the knife in his hand for them to see. Kai and Ray were both covered in a cold sweat. If they turned their backs, Hilary would be dragged away, but if the didn't, Omen might kill her! There was no other choice. Reluctantly, Ray turned his back on them. He glanced sideways.

'Kai!' he whispered.

Kai wasn't paying attention. He still hadn't moved yet. His crimson eyes were fixed upon Hilary. Hilary staired back at him, her ruby eyes were streaming and full of pure fear and terror, pleading desperately for him to save her.

'Help!' she mouthed mutely, seeming to have lost her voice in fear.

Kai wanted desperately to save her but the threat of Omen prevented him from doing so. Slowly and agonisingly, Kai turned his back biting his bottom lip hard and clenching his fists. Omen smiled once Kai's back was fully turned towards them, then putting his dagger into his belt, began pulling Hilary back. Hilary realised this would be the last time she would most likely ever see Kai again. Omen was going to kill her! In a desperate move, Hilary wrenched her right arm out from under Omen's grasp and brought it back with all of her strength, driving it straight into Omens gut. He released her in surprise and clutched his stomach. Kai and Ray whipped around at the sound of Omen's grunt of pain. Hilary kicked him hard in the shin then ran to her friends as fast as humanly possible.

'You little bitch!' Omen yelled angrily rubbing his gut as the pain began evaporating.

Hilary threw herself at Kai who pulled her into a tight embrace. Omen had no way of keeping Kai and Ray back now. Kai's hate filled eyes locked onto the red eyed teen. Omen gave a malicious smile then ran off through the forest, going slow enough to make sure Kai and Ray could follow. As Omen had anticipated, Kai ran after him, with Ray and Hilary close behind. Kai was running, fueled by rage and loathing and his detirmination to catch up the the evil teen and make him pay... make him pay dearly! Omen was getting further and further ahead of them, as he was more familure with the forest and was better used to running through the thick underbrush. Omen suddenly disppeared. Kai slowed down and stopped, Ray and Hilary stopping beside him. Hilary was panting slightly, holding her neck where she'd been wounded. Ray and Kai hadn't even broken a sweat or taken a deap breath, it was as if they hadn't even sprinted over 100 metres. Kai suddenly roared with rage, and punched the tree beside him, making the hard bark crank under his knuckles.

'DAMN THAT BASTARD!' he yelled angrily, 'I'M GONNA KILL HIM! THIS IS THE LAST TIME HE'LL GET AWAY FROM ME!'

----

Omen looked back then cursed. He'd accidentily lost them! He walked moodily through the forest until he got to an over-grown wood framed mine tunnel, which lead down into and under the small mountain it was situated on. He entered the darkness of the tunnel, following it and walking close to the rocky wall. He strode through the dark, long and winding tunnel which was lit by dull orange lights on the walls. As he walked by, he punched out every second and third light, until he emerged into the cavern in which his prisoners were held. Max, Tyson, Daichi and Kenny all looked up. Omen walked pass, ripping off the tape from their mouths as he went. He came around and crouched infront of Tyson.

'Your friends are painully slow and stupid,' he said with a slight smile, 'And for that, you all have to suffer.'

They all looked at him with baited breath.

'All of you,' he said, 'Scream!'

'What?' asked Max in confusion.

'I said Scream!' Omen said again.

None of them obeyed.

'There's no way any of us will scream,' said Tyson in a low tone, 'We aren't gonna lead Kai and Ray into your trap!'

Omen clenched his teeth then smiled and stard into Tysons hate filled face.

'Alright then... Tyson, I will let you decide...'

Omen stood up and took out his flat bladed knife and looked at his reflection.

'Who shall I make scream?' he asked silkily, 'Max, Daichi or Kenny? Choose quickly or I'll choose them all!'

Tyson looked at Omen in shock, the deep wound on his shoulder still draining him of energy.

'What? I can't choose one of them!' he yelled weakly.

'Fine,' said Omen with a sinister smirk, 'All three then!'

'No!' Tyson shouted.

Omen stopped and waited.

'You have ten seconds!'

Tyson couldn't choose! One of his best friends had to be chosen and made to scream by Omen, if he didn't choose, they'd all be tortured!

'Nine... eight...'

Omen walked infront of Max.

'Seven... six...'

I can't choose! But I have to! Tyson thought.

Max, Daichi and Kenny were looking at him.

'Just choose me Tyson!' Max shouted, but Tyson wasn't listening.

'Five... four...'

THIS ISN'T FAIR! Tyson clenched his teeth, wracking his brain for a solution.

'Three... two...'

Omen knelt infront of Max and held the knife to the blondes arm. Max looked down at the blade and bit his bottom lip, ready for the intense pain.

'O-'

'STOP!' Tyson shouted.

His eyes were clenched shut and his teeth were gritted.

'I choose myself!' he said loudly,

Omen thought for a second.

'I don't remember you being an option!' he said evilly.

'Tyson! Shut up!' yelled Max, 'He chooses me Omen!'

'No I don't Max!' Tyson yelled, 'I chose myself!'

'Don't be so stupid!' Daichi yelled, 'You're already really hurt!'

'Your body wont take much more Tyson!' exclaimed Kenny.

'Shut up!' Tyson yelled, 'I appreciate your concern guys... but this was my choice! Not yours, and I've chosen myself!'

The others were silent. Tyson looked up at Omen, who was thoroughly enjoying their arguement.

'Hurry up and get it over with!' Tyson spat bitterly.

There was no way Tyson would deliberatly lead his friends into this trap. If he had to cream, he would rather be forced to than do it willingly. Omen smiled.

'I don't see courage like yours every day...' he said coldly with a smile, 'It is quite amazing. Ah well,'

He walked up to Tyson and pulled out a smaller switch-blade from his boot.

'Thanks for all your co-operation!' Omen remarked maliciously.

Tyson closed his eyes tighly. Daichi and Kenny couldn't bear to watch. Max didn't look away, if Tyson was willing to go through the pain to save them from it, then, in Max's mind, the least he could do would be to watch Tysons brave act with respect. Omen, smirked and drove the small switchblade directly into Tyson's wounded shoulder.

----

A deep and gravely scream echoed through the forest, causing Ray, Kai and Hilary to look in the exact direction of the source. Hilary clapped her hands over her mouth.

'That was Tyson!' she said almost screaming.

'He's close!' said Kai taking Hilary's hand, 'This way!'

Ray, Kai and Hilary ran until they saw a small dark mine tunnel up ahead. Smaller echoes of painfull yells came from inside.

'Omen must be inide there!; said Kai, his blood boiling.

He turned to Hilary and held her shoulders, looking into her eyes.

'Hilary, I want you to stay out here!'

'No way!' she said fiercely.

'I agree,' said Ray, recieving a shocked look from Hilary, 'She can't stay out here alone.'

'That's why you'll be staying out here with her,' said Kai.

'You can't go in there alone!' said Hilary hotly. 'Besides, I'll follow you in anyway! Nothing will keep me from my friends! I love you Kai but you need back up!'

Kai growled in frustration.

'Fine,' he grunted, 'But both of you stay behind me at all times! Got it!'

Hilary and Ray nodded and they all walked in. The tunnel was dark. Every second and third light had been smashed, making it harder to see with the dull orange light. Kai walked forward. Ray noticed the ground near the tunnel wall changed suddenly where Kai was about to step.

'No Kai stop!' he shouted, but too late.

Kai walked two steps forward, then fell down into a deep trap hole. But the hole itself was the least of his worries.
