Previously...

'You better let her go!' Kai yelled vehemently.

Omen looked down at him carelessly. A wicked mile crossed his features.

'See ya Kai!' he said cheerfully.

Hilary could feel herself being pulled back.

'NO! LET GO OF ME! KAI!'

Kai tried to scale the walls of the pit without grabbing the fragile glas, but fell back down to the bottom.

'OMEN! LET HER GO!' he roared.

But all he heard was Hilary's petrified screams and Omen's silky laughter.

-

Tyson looked on the verge of death, and with all the blood he'd lost, he wasn't far from it. Ray went behind Tyson to undo the bonds which held him but the moment his hand tugged the ropes, a trip wire was pulled and a net was shot out of no where, completely engulfing Ray.

-

'Stop it!' Hilary pleaded. 'Why are you going to kill my friends! Why would you want to! They did nothing to you!'

Omen looked into her eyes again. A small smile was on his face.

'You want to know why I like to kill?' he asked softly, 'Okay, I'll tell you!'

----

Normal POV...

Hilary's wrists were in pain within Omen's vice grip. Though she continued to struggle in the desperate hope that his hand would slip and she could escape. Of course, her thoughts ended up being wasted brain power. The black-haired teens one hand was unrelenting. Tears continued to well endlessly into Hilary' eyes and her body trembled like a dry leaf in the wind. She could feel her heart thump againt the inside of her chest as her skin was drained of all colour until she had ghostly pale complection. Omen looked thoroughly amused, his grin was thin and silently screamed of mischief. His red eyes pierced hers, some how making it impossible to look away. She was caught within his hypnotic stare and paralized with her own panic and terror.

'So you wat to know exactly why I'm like this huh?' Omen's voice was low and dark, 'I'll tell you! It started when I was only five years old. I lived with my mum. She left my old man because apparently he was a violent maniac. She always tried to force me to be a good little boy, to be an object of perfection! I was sick of it. One night, I woke up and heard mum screaming. I went into the kitchen, just in time to see my old man cut her throat and shower me in her blood. At the time, I didn't know that he'd just murdered her. I thought he'd just hurt her, and I didn't really care. That pushy bitch was making life hell for me. My dad took me away and we hid, and lived as if nothing bad had happened. We hid where no one could find us, in the deepest reaches of this forest. My father taught me whatever I needed to know about hunting and sent me to school under the name Omen Stevens so no one would know who I really was, because of course the cops were looking for me and dad. In school, in fact, every where, people avoided me because of my red eyes. They called me a demon, so, I grew up hating everyone. The only person who ever showed me a shred of kindness was a girl named Rahna, who looked exactly... like... you...'

He stopped and put his hand on Hilary's cheek, causing her to flinch and shiver. He smiled then continued.

'But Rahna was killed, by a drunk driver. The jackass drove his car into the school grounds and hit her while she was on the swings. I was injured slightly but Rahna was killed on impact, which fueled my hatered for people even more. Then finally, when I was ten, the cops found me and my father. We were trapped against a cliff face and of course we retaliated. Dad was killed and I was shot in the leg, but not before I killed the bastard who shot my old man. I was sent to juvenile hall then when I hit fourteen, I was transferred to prison. I was in a cage for six years! The people there were all pricks too. I was just released last month from prison for good behaviour! Huh, sentimental fools! I have sworn revenge now. People will continue to die at my hands until I am satisfied! I will kill until those cops find me, then, they will be the next ones to go! Maybe, just maybe, then I'll stop my killing spree!'

Omen suddenly pulled Hilary off the floor and slammed her down onto the floor on her back. She let out a terrified half scream half gasp of pain and fear. He was kneeling with his knees either side of her hips and his hands on the hard floor under her arm and beside her head. Hilary held her arms up trying to keep him away but Omen broke through and struck her lips with his, taking both her wrists in his one hand and pinning them above her head. Hilary fought with all her might but Omen was like Kai, unbelievably strong and immovable.

----

Kai looked at the glass tube around the top of the pit furiously.

Damn that bastard! he thought tempestuously. Just wait until I get my hands on him! He will be so broken up that the cops will need to pull up his dental records just to discover his identity...

He pushed his hands against the sides of the pit on either side of him hard then quickly pulled his feet up and slammed them against the walls under his hands. He scaled up the walls like a star untilhe reached the top and could go no further. He wondered if he could lift the tube from underneath. He put his fingers under it gently, using his strong legs to push his feet against the walls like he was doing the splits. But when he began lifting slowly, the glass strained and a thin crack streaked onto the fragile surface. Kai immediately stopped and pulled his hands away, gritting his teeth in frustration. From where he was, it would be easy for him to get over the tube, if only the jagged and lethal metal wasn't spread behind it, threatening to tear his hands to pieces if touched it. Kai swore, but a sudden female scream echoed through the mine, drowning out his vehement exclamation.

----

Ray, Max, Kenny, Tyson and Daichi all heard the scream.

'Hilary!' said Ray aloud in dismay.

Max, Daichi and Kenny looked at him in surprise. Even Tyson managed to direct a glance sideways at the raven haired teen. Tyson could hardly see Ray through his hair which was draped over his face as his head slumped down and his chin almost rested on his chest.

'But we thought...' Kenny stammered, 'O-Omen said Hilary was dead!'

'He told us that he killed her when he tried taking you and me,' said Max, clearly confused.

'He lied,' Ray replied simply but his voice became low and bitter, 'He almost killed her though. He cut her across the throat and left her for dead. It was a close call, another couple of millimetres and she wouldn't be where ever she is now.'

'If she's with Omen,' said Kenny quietly, 'Then I think it would've been better if the cut did go that extra length so she wouldn't have to suffer.'

The boys all looked down in muted agreement until another blood curdling scream tore through the silence.

'S-some one... has... to s... save her!' Tyson whispered hoarsly yet urgently.

Ray nodded. He tried as hard as he could to escape the net encasing him like a glove, but to not avail.

----

'Is that a good enough motive for you?' Omen asked to Hilary's terrified face.

The scream she had just emmited was the result of Omen forcing his knee between her legs roughly.

'Come one Hil!' Omen said playfully, 'Don't go playing hard to get when you were basically throwing yourself at me when we were in the forest! You obviously preffered me to Kai when it was obvious you had sex with him!'

'No!' said Hilary sorrowfully, 'I wasn't throwing myself at you! I love Kai! I always have!'

'Not when you first saw me,' Omen said softly, smiling, 'You were flirting constantly!'

'It was a mistake!' said Hilary trying to get out from underneath him, 'I was trying to be nice!'

'You're voice and mind may try to deny it,' Omen replied, 'But...'

He pressed his free hand onto her chest. He smiled.

'Your heart gave you away,' he continued softly. 'When you hugged me, i felt how fast it was beating! Admit it... you loved me... You wanted me.'

'NO!' Hilary cried loudly, 'No no no! Shut up! Get away from me! Leave me alone!'

'But I don't want to!' said Omen darkly.

Before Hilary could answer he crashed his lips against hers. Hilary felt his tongue shoot into her mouth and explore it. She choked but was unable to do anything to stop it.

----

Kai had heard the second scream and bit his lip. He had no other choice.

If I don't, who knows what will happen to Hilary! he thought desperately.

Still standing like a star on each side of the pit, he made a desperate decision. He took his scarf and tore the ends off, wrapping them around his hands tightening the knots with his teeth. He took a deep breath.

'You are going to suffer for this Omen!' he said contemptously.

With that vow, he jumped and managed to grap hold of the glass tube which immediately shattered under the pressure. Kai gritted his teeth in pain. The glass had sliced into his hands. But that wasn't the only problem. The second the glass had broken, the hundreds of spiders which were conceiled within were freed and streaked down Kai's arms like a black shaddow. He felt a shiver go down his spine and one or two small tweeks in his arms. He pulled himself up, grunting and almost yelling in pain when his fingers were forced to grip the jagged metal to prevent himself falling back. The black spiders swarmed over his entire body in a frenzy. Kai clenched his teeth and pulled himself out of the hole. He stood up and got away from the hole, brushing the spiders off him impatiently and running down he mine tunnel in search of Hilary. He looked around desperately until he came to a split. He cursed, unable to decide which to chose. He brushed remaining spiders off of his body intrepidly and looked down each tunnel. He finally decided and ran left. Kai ran until he emerged int a large cavern.

'Kai!'

Kai looked around in search of the familure voice. He spotted his friends all capture on the far side. He ran over to them and knelt beside Ray, pulling out his knife.

'Wow, aren't you a sight for sore eyes!' said Max.

'Kai! Where's Hilary?' Ray asked urgently.

Kai cut Ray free and gave him the knife to free the others.

'I don't know,' Kai replied, 'Omen has her.'

----

Omen held a hand over Hilary's mouth as the footsteps from the split died away. Hilary couldn't breathe. Omen was fully lying ontop of her. He cursed and sat up, pulling Hilary with him. He loked into a teary ruby eyes and smiled.

'We'll have to save this for another tim,' he said, 'Looks like Kai has escaped and is heading for your friends, now, I can finally kill them all!'

Hilary tried to scream but Omen stood up with his hand still over her mouth pulling her up with him. He pulled her forcibly down the tunnel and towards the cavern.

----

Ray had freed all the others and Kai had returned Kenny's glasses to him after looking after them for him. Ray and Kenny both supported Tyson as Max stood with Daichi and Kai. He reached up and picked up a spider from hisshoulder and showed him.

'Love the new accessories!' he said sarcastially, dropping the spider.

Kai grunted as Max went to help the others with Tyson. Kai hid his stinging and bloody hands from them.

'You all get Tyson out of here,' he said. 'I'll go find Hilary!'

Daichi yelped slightly, making Kai nad the others look at him. He was shaking and pointed at the exit.

'I d-don't think y-you'll n-n-need to!' he stuttered.

Kai, Ray, Max, Kenny and Tyson looked up, following Daichi's gaze. Kai felt his heart skip a beat. Omen stood at the entrance of the cavern smiling evilly with Hilary in his arms and a knife ather throat.

'You aren't going any where!' he said sinisterly, 'I told you! Kenny, Daichi, Tyson, Max... I told you that as soon as I get you together, I'd kill you!'
