The rebels

Chapter 15

The plan to terminate the rebel spirit (part 2)

(Kai's flashback)

Kai tightened his grip around his blade. Kai closed his eyes slowly. The pain in Kai's head made him want to scream. All his thoughts were fuzzy. Streams of images and sounds entered and left his mind. Some of them were dreams or illusions. Which made Kai wonder which ones was real or fake. The only thing he new was real was his blade in his hand. The blade had comforting warmth.

Kai continued to lie on the cell floor drenched in blood until a clear feeling entered his mind. Immense pain, loss and anger entered Kai's mind. His mind suddenly began to clear and his thoughts and memories began to clear. Later when Kai looked back, he often wondered whether he should have just stayed in that state way from the pain and hurt to come. However, always he came to the same conclusion. Bradain deserved pain and lots of it. That anger was the only thing that finally made Kai rise.

Kai got up roughly then collapsed on the floor. Kai tried to move his hands to stop him from hitting the floor. But when he tried to move his hands, they wouldn't respond. Kai's face hit the floor with a loud bang. He cursed loudly but his voice sounded weak and minute to him. His face was emerged in blood. Kai felt like he was going to get sick. His body felt like it was coming apart. The blood in his body had stopped flowing through his veins for a while. Because of that, Kai was finding it incredibly hard to move and to get the blood circulating again.

Kai tried not to think of his friend lying in the next cell. But still he couldn't help looking up.

The sudden shock of the sight made Kai's heart almost stop again. Sean had moved. The one sentence filled him with hope. Sean had moved. Kai remembered just before he blacked out he saw Sean. Sean had been lying in the far corner turned away from Kai. Now he was at the other end of his cell, the part closer to Kai.

Kai ignoring his muscles screaming with pain dragged himself to the cell door. Bradain had left it slightly agar. Kai pushed it open and crawled across the floor. His hands caught in the stone but Kai ignored it even when his skin torn and bleed.

Kai finally reached his friend. Kai kneeled beside him. He grabbed his hand and held on tight. It was cold and stiff. It didn't feel like proper skin and bone.

"Sean, Sean, it's me, its Kai. Can you hear me?" said Kai his voice seemed lost.

Kai kneeled beside him. Sean's bright face was now white and gloomy. His dark eyes were slightly open but very empty. His sight was looking elsewhere. His dark black hair sprayed with blood. His blue lips were opened as if he was about to say something, some joke that would make even Kai laugh and forget everything. He was dead. Kai knew. He had been dead a long time.

Kai turned his head. He was shaking slightly. The cell was similar to his. Blood also covered the walls and floor. The smell in hear seemed worse. It was the stench of death.

Kai saw something glinting in the blood. It was Sean's blade. Kai leaned over and picked up Sean's blade. He looked back at Sean. He had dyed with out a friend to hold his hand. It was then that Kai knew where Sean had been looking when he had died, where he was heading. Kai's cell. Tears fell down Kai's face. Kai had gone into a daze. The sound of the tears hitting the floor echoed through Kai's mind.

"Sean don't leave. Sean don't leave me. Don't you dare leave me", Kai voice rang with desperation and fury. Nothing. Just the sound of one person breathe and tears falling. Kai looked at his hands covered in blood.

"Come back," Kai, whispered softly. "Come back".

Tears still stained Kai's face but they had stopped flowing. Kai walked through the halls of the abbey. The second bell for end of lunch had just sounded. There was nobody in the halls.

Kai knew where Bradain would be. The biggest gym on the southern end of the building. Kai walked there quickly and quietly.

His face covered in blood and tears, which to Kai acted as a mask. Even when the blood and tears went away, he would always wear that mask. It was now part of him. Part of him had disappeared when Sean died but another part of him had been born. A new angrier, sadder part and of course dranzer. Kai wished dranzer had come at a better time. He wished he could remember her coming to him as a good memory. Instead … instead of … this. Kai stopped walking. He looked down at his blood-incrusted hands.

…this.

… This was not right.

Kai couldn't make it better. He knew that. But god only knew he was going to try. Dranzer glowed in response to her masters feelings.

Bradain sighed deeply. He was sitting down on the chairs that lined the sides of the gym. He watched as the younger bladers trained. He didn't think anybody had checked the cells yet. They would go down with breakfast in an hour maybe. He sighed again deeply. This time Tala looked up.

"Are you sure you are all right?" asked Tala.

"Yes, now get back to your training," said Bradain. Tala looked at him strangely. Normally his voice was a lot scarier. Not that Tala would ever admit to being scared.

Then Kai walked through the door and Tala wasn't the only person who was scared.

The way everybody was staring at Kai would have made Kai freak out yesterday but today he ignored it completely. Even when Tala ran over to him, worry and fear evident in his eyes. The abbey trainers in the room didn't even stop their students from walking away to see what the commotion was about.

Kai stood in front of Bradain. He had grabbed a launcher on his journey across the hall and now he stood facing Bradain.

"I swear if you don't launcher your blade in the next three seconds, my dish will be your face. Bradain produced a launcher and his blade. They both moved silently towards a dish.

Three...two...one… Let it rib…

A/n: sorry it was so short but I found this chapter hard to write. I think I shall find the next one easier so therefore it shall be up sooner. Bye
