Diary of Ray

What..happened? I couldn't think straight as I opened my eyes, vision blurry as a white ceiling towered above. Sitting up, I shook my head, before spotting two sleeping figures at my feet. Tala...and Mao?!...No...it couldn't be her...It must be Mariah. I sighed. For the couple of hours..days?...However long I'd known her, Mao...she was so nice...And perhaps Mariah is too? I should probably try to get to know her better before resorting back to calling her the 'Pink Monster which Emerged from Satan's Ass'...Actually, that's the first time I've called her that. I think I heard it from Brian. I should tell him to stop calling her that if I find out that she's a..uh...decent friend.
After all, how can bad she be? She's sleeping at my feet with Tala as well. I mean, we hardly know each other, why is she worried about me?
I flinched when Mariah lazily lifted herself off the bed, stretching and yawning..cat-like. Opening one eye, she spotted me sitting up and immediately froze in place, before quickly shaking Tala out of his slumber,"He's up, Tala! He's up!"
"In a...minute...Juslemme...burn the school.."
"TALA!"
"...What?! For goodness sake, Mariah! This better be good or I-"
Man, how stupid could this kid get? Reaching over I poked him on the shoulder, causing him to jump and stare at me bug-eyed,"K...Kai?"
I smirked, same old Tala,"The one and only."
"Th..The doctors said you'd never wake up..But we...we knew better then them. We knew you'd wake up, even after so long, Hiwatari!" I frowned. Even after so long? What the hell happened? I remember...getting half of Ray back and then...nothing...Except for Boris' rotten stench. Taking a deep and longer look at the two practically partying at my consciousness, I'd noticed...they'd grown. Tala not-so-much, just a bit of stubble and a pierced lip, nearly wearing the same clothes he wore as usual. Mariah though, cut her hair to her shoulders, died the tips black, lost the pink oufits and gained a blue tshirt with black and white striped sleeves and blue jeans. Basically...'modern'. Taking a quick glance around the room, I'd noticed it wasn't the one I'd last stayed in. (not counting the underground part, mind you)
Let's just say, even though it was pretty nice, the blood on the walls and chains dangling on the ceiling weren't very appealing.
"..Where are we? What happened? How long have I been unconscious?" I demanded, interrupting their little celebration, which immediately seemed to pain them very much. Mariah looked at her lap, twiddling her thumbs, probably giving Ivanov the hint that he say what happened and not her. Turning to me with sad eyes, Tala sighed, grabbing my hand and squeezing it, hard.
"Kai...That day, when we were so close to bringing Ray home, the day Boris got his filthy hands on you for a few minutes, he drugged you. That rotten Balcov agreed to give you back to us, with the antidote, if Ray went back and served under his every will without question..and, of course...Kon agreed without hesitation. So we got you back, but no antidote, so you were now stuck sleeping, possible forever...But 6 years passed, and you're up and...sitting." I opened my mouth to speak, but Tala continued before I could,"During the period of those 6 years, people died, close friends of ours died. Sergei, Lee, Kenny, Miguel, Robert, Emily, Spencer, Hiro, Max's dad, Enrique, Garland, Crusher, Tyson's grandfather...and possibly everyone else as we speak...Balcov did it Kai...he took over the world...He's ruler...Ray...Ray following every single little order and detail given to him. He's...he's gone...But...When Bryan had tried to kill Ray, hoping to bring back the peace...He was so close, yet he paused, and something was different about his eyes, about both of their eyes, they had...'the look'."
"M...memories?"
"Yeah..."
My eyes were wide, tears burning once again in the back,"...What happened..?"
Tala gulped, and gripped my hand harder. He looked so...so weak right now,"Ray was first to react out of the memories and stole Bryan's gun right from under his nose. Before Ray could shoot though, Spencer ran, so damn fast, grabbed the back of Bryan's collar, chucked him back and took the shot head-on...Bryan...he...he was mesmerized. The look on his face...it...it hurts me. I can see every emotion swirling through his eyes. He was so terrified, so angry, so upset..." biting his lip, Tala looked away, his head low.
"Bryan...did he...commit sui-"
"No. Inflicting pain upon myself relieves my soul in the slightest." my eyes widened so much I thought they'd pop straight out of my head. There he was, Kuznetsov, suddenly there out of nowhere, looking like he slid across thousands of knives. He had cuts and bruises everywhere, his eyes dull and dark, heavy bags resting beneath them. He looked like a walking skeleton, his clothes looking like they could slide right off in a millisecond if it weren't for all the belts wrapped around his waist.
"..B..Bryan..? Why...?"
His eyes flickered dangerously, towering into my eyes, and would of probably scared Kenny shitless if he'd been me at the moment,"Because my best friend died to save me! My best friend died by the hands of my brother!!"
"B...brother?!"

Sentimental: Short, yes, I know. I'm terribly sorry. School sucks to the highest degree. D:
I still hope it was okay.
I'm recovering from writer's block, lack of sleep, and (not recovering from as it likes to stay with me) a sore-ass back.
LOVE YA ALL.
