Previously...
She stopped and clapped her hands over her mouth, seeing the victim. A woman was propped up into a sitting position against the wall, dead. Kai's blue beyblade which Dranzer resided within lay beside her. Ray took a step forward but suddenly heard a sound behind him. Before he could even turn around, something or some one behind him, struck him hard in the back of the head with incredible force, knocking him out cold instantly.
Hilary heard Ray hit the floor and tore her eyes away from the dead womans body. She looked over and her mouth dropped. Kai was standing behind Ray's unconscious form, unclenching his fist and straightening up. He smirked at his girlfriend with evil and deadly intentions.
----
Normal POV...
Hilary looked at Kai in surprise.
"Kai! You're alright!"
Hilary smiled widely and ran to give him a hug but stopped, seeing Ray crumpled at his feet.
"What did you do to Ray?!" she asked in shock. "Is he alright? Why did you hurt him?"
"I thought he was going to make a move on you." Kai lied with a smirk.
The true reason was because he did not want Ray to interfere. Kai was an awesome fighter, and the only other person who could even come close to matching his skills was Ray.
Hilary gave an unsure smile at his feigned affection but it quickly ended. She looked back at the dead woman.
"Look Kai! I... I think she's dead!"
Kai walked around Ray's limp body and glanced carelessly at the corpse. Hilary hurried forward and skooped up Kai's beyblade, Dranzer, from where it sat beside the woman. She scurried back away quickly and turned back to Kai and knelt beside Ray.
"You were here," She said quietly, "What... what happened to you?! I mean, who was attacking you? Why? Why is your beyblade next to this... this dead woman?"
Hilar was obviously flustered and seemed like she were about to faint. She held her head in her hand, trying to bring herself together. She looked at Kai, waiting for an answer. Kai shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. The fact that he was showing so little emotion towards the currant situation was infuriating.
"Answer me Kai!" Hilary said angrily, "How could you not know? Do you have any idea how scared everyone has been? Kiana is so worried about you! Don't you even care? And what about this woman? Was she your attacker?"
"No."
"Then who is she? You were here Kai! Your blade was here! Who killed her? Do you even care that shes dead?"
"Of course," He lied, "But its not worth worrying over. If she is dead, she's dead. Theres nothing we can do about it and theres no way we can bring her back."
Hilary shook her head at him in disbelief then put her hands on Ray.
"Aren't you even going to see if Ray is alright?" She said bitterly.
"He'll be fine."
Hilary glared at him then checked Ray's vital signs. He was fine but unconscious. Hilary stood up and stared at Kai.
"You have some nerve!" She said in low tones. "You were attacked! You sent Kiana to Tysons place by herself at like midnight. You disappear and now, when I find you, you knock out Ray and act like a total jerk! You haven't even told me what happened last night!"
"It doesn't really matter." Kai replied.
"Yes it does!! What has gotten into you?!" Hilary snapped, "You're not acting like the Kai I know!"
Kai smirked.
"Don't worry. I feel better than ever."
Hilary's face soften slightly but she still couldn't shake the feeling that something was horribly wrong.
----
Kiana ventured away from the main group of people quietly, walking like a lost soul. Tyson, Max, Daichi, Tala, Mariah and herself were searching this part of town, whilst Bryan, Spencer, Rik, Crusher and Robert checked the ghetto. Lee, Kevin, Gary, Mystel, Garland and Brooklyn were out scouring the upper part of the town near the beach. Hilary and Ray had gone off on their own and no one had heard from them for the past couple of hours.
Kiana sat down on a park bench and had her face in her hands. Tyson and Max noticed and started towards her, only to be stopped by Mariah.
"Just leave her be for a minute guys," said the pink haired girl softly, "I think she just needs some time to herself."
Tyson and Max nodded quietly.
Kiana felt tears prickle her eyes and rubbed them harshly. She heard some one sit down beside her and looked to see Tala.
"Are you okay?" He asked gently.
Kiana shook her head slowly.
"What if something happened to him Tala?" She asked in a shaky voice.
"Kai's a tough guy," Tala put his arm around her shoulders, "I'm sure he is fine. He managed to beat up your foster mums boyfriend."
"Thats just it!" Kiana said, "He was injured in that fight! He would have been weakened from the fight! What if the guy was a murderer or something? Or what if Craige decided to come after us and finish what he started? Or-"
"Shh!" Tala put a finger on her lips. "Just calm down. Take a deep breath Ki."
Kiana obeyed and took several deep breaths. She finally settled down and laid her head against Tala's chest.
"I wonder what happened to Hilary and Ray?" She whispered.
"Knowing Hilary," Tala gazed at the sky, "She'd be out searching even the sewers."
"I think she was a bit jealous, of us last night. She really misses Kai and us hugging and all that was making her feel bitter."
"I guess." Tala said stiffly.
"Maybe we should just, you know, not do that stuff in front of Hil until we find Kai."
"Fine." Tala muttered grudgingly.
He could tell even Kiana didn't want to stop their lovey dovey actions but would do it for her friends sake.
"Thank you." She whispered kissing him softly on the lips.
Tala kissed her back but their actions were soon ended when the sounds of feet padding came rapidly towards them. They looked up and saw Mariah there with a large smile on her face.
"Kenny is on the phone!" She said, "He said he knows where Kai is and Hilary and Ray are with him!"
Kiana and Tala jumped to their feet. Kiana grasped Mariah's arms and gazed into her eyes urgently.
"Where are they?!" She demanded.
"Tyson's on the phone with Kenny at the moment," Mariah said, slightly taken aback, "He said he'll lead us to them!"
----
Kai put a hand to his stomach. He was now starving. He needed food. Hilary's prattle about feelings and him having to care about corpses was boring him.
'Just shut up,' He thought. 'I'm so hungry.'
A voice came into Kai's head. It was his mothers voice. The soft, vampyric hiss he'd heard when she'd killed him.
'I shall return with your first meal! After all... if we leave your hunger too long... you may turn into a rogue.'
What did she mean? Rogue?
'Aren't all vampires rogue?' Kai thought.
Hilary looked back down to Ray.
"Kai, come help me carry Ray," She said, "Let's go back to Tyson's. I... I'm not comfortable being here. We could be contaminating a crime scene."
Kai suddenly gave her his full attention. A thin smile played on his lips. His hunger was starting to go to his brain. He felt light headed and unpredictable, like his body was being taken over. He started towards Hilary. He could smell her blood, and it made his mouth almost water.
"There's no hurry." He said silkily.
Hilary took a step back and smiled thinly at him.
"It's neither the time nor place Kai." She said sternly. "We have to get out of here."
"Not just yet."
"Kai? Stop. What are you doing?"
"I missed you Hilary," He said smoothly, "Can't I embrace my girlfriend?"
"Not when you've pissed her off." She said, still walking back.
She felt her back bump against something hard and looked back. She was against the wall and the womans corpse was no more than three metres from her. Kai didn't stop coming towards her, a terrifyingly sweet smile spread across his handsome features. Hilary's eyes kept darting from the corpse to her boyfriend until Kai was standing right before her. He touched her cheek softly with his hand. Hilary cringed, surprised at how icy his skin was.
"Stop Kai," She whispered. "What... w-what if the person who murdered that poor woman is still around?"
Kai leant in close to her. Hilary pressed her back harder into the wall in a vain attempt to move away from Kai. She felt his breath coming across her neck then onto her ear. It was frosty and caused shivers to run up her spine.
"Y-you're scaring me Kai..." She said with a voice just above a breath.
"The murderer is still here." He whispered.
"W-what do you m-mean?" She stammered.
She heard Kai give a small snigger.
"I killed her." He whispered.
Hilary felt shock course through her.
"What are you saying Kai? W-why?"
He didn't answer. Hilary made to move sideways away from him but he slammed both his hands onto the wall either side of her head. Kai took off his sunglasses, smirked and gazed into her ruby eyes which had terror written in them.
----
Kiana, Tala, Mariah, Tyson, Max and Daichi stopped at the entrance to the alley.
"Are you sure they are in here Chief?" Tyson asked Kenny over the phone.
"Give me that!" Kiana snapped, snatching Tyson's mobile from him. "They are in there aren't they?"
"Yes," Kenny answered, "This is where I tracked their beyblades to. Hilary and Ray are still in there."
"Thank you Kenny." Kiana said.
She thrust the mobile back into Tyson's hand and ran into the alley with Tala at her side.
----
Hilary couldn't tear her eyes away from Kai's. They were so hollow and lifeless. It terrified her. The only form of light in the cold, crimson orbs was the sinister red glint. Hilary tried to run away but Kai grasped her arms and held them to the wall with inhuman strength. Hilary struggled but it was like a mouse trying to escape the constricting coils of a python. She felt tears of fear forming at her eyes.
"Please Kai... let me go! Lets just go home! Please!"
Kai sniggered softly. His stomach gave a painful pang of hunger. He leant in close to Hilary's neck.
"Don't be afraid," He whispered. "Fear makes the blood bitter."
Hilary had no idea what he was talking about but that made her even more afraid.
"P-please don't hurt me!" She cried.
Never had she ever thought she would have to say those words to the person he loved. If it were any other man or boy who had pinned her to the wall, she would have kicked them as hard as humanly possible straight in the man-hood. But she couldn't bring herself to do it to Kai. She was afraid. Too afraid to do anything but sob and plead. Kai came back and faced her.
"I'm not going to kill you yet," He said quietly.
"Y-yet?" Hilary stuttered.
Kai smiled. "No, not yet. You're special to me. I will make you like me. Though, not straight away."
His face came closer.
"After all... you love me, and that affection has made your blood oh so sweet. I can smell it. It's mouth-watering."
Hilary didn't move as his lips touched upon hers. Her kissed her softly. Hilary couldn't bring herself to move. She just stood in numb terror, completely confused. Kai kissed her bottom lip and his two fangs grew from either side of his top row of teeth.
Hilary felt two sharp stings on her bottom lip then her whole world misted over. Kai withdrew his fangs from her bottom lip and tasted her blood, letting it run down his throat. His hunger disappeared. Hilary's body was rigid and stiff.
"Kai?!"
Kai stopped drinking his girlfriends blood. He recognised that voice. He didn't need to turn. He knew exactly who was behind him. He could smell them. Tyson, Mariah, Max, Daichi, Tala and his twin, Kiana.
"What are you doing to Hilary?!" Tyson demanded.
"Oh my God, Ray!"
Mariah swooped down to Ray's side immediatly and cradled his head in her arms, Daichi knelt beside her. The boys stared in horror at the corpse of the woman, propped against the wall. Kiana seemed to be frozen to the spot, her mouth slightly ajar in shock.
"What on earth happened here Kai?" Tala demanded.
Kai brought his head away from Hilary. Her body went limp and the only thing keeping her up was Kai's grip on her arms. He didn't even notice his beyblade fall from her limp hand. Tala took a step forwards and stared at his friend.
"Kai!" He said harshly.
The teen turned around to them with a sinister smile. A small line of Hilary's blood trickled from the corner of his mouth and down to his chin. Tala took a step back in horror. The boys were all shocked speechless. Mariah held Ray's limp form closer to her body, her eyes wide in terror. Their eyes darted over to Hilary. Her bottom lip was bleeding, forming a little brook of blood to trickle down her chin and neck and soak into her top. He released Hilary, letting her body slide down the wall and fall to the floor like a broken doll. Kai's eyes suddenly rested on his sisters. She looked shocked, hurt and terrified. Kai started towards them but stopped. The light hit his eyes and he covered them, growling in pain. He looked down for his sunglasses but found them broken, half under Hilary. He glared back at his sister then to his old friends.
"I'll be back." He said softly.
He turned and ran into the darkness of the alley, disappearing from sight. Tyson and Max ran over to where Hilary laid. Tala was shocked. He had seen the two ivory white fangs in Kai's mouth and the emptiness of his darkened eyes. He turned around and looked at Kiana. She had tears streaming from her eyes. Tala started for her then ran. Kiana's eyes rolled back and she fainted. Tala caught her before she hit the hard ground. He looked back to where Kai had disappeared. Tyson and Max were on their knees beside Hilary but didn't know what to do, panic already trying to control them. Hilary's pale arms had already formed purple bruises where Kai had held her.
"What the fuck did Kai do?!" Tyson yelled. "Hilary! Come on! Wake up!"
"Is she alive?" Tala asked.
Max nodded. "But it's like she's unconscious or in a coma."
"Was... w-was he drinking Hil's b-b-blood?!" Daichi stammered in fear.
"Yes." Tala said softly. "But I hope to God he isn't what I think he is."
"You mean...?" Mariah whispered to him.
Tala nodded quietly.
"But..." Tyson said, "I thought they were only in fairytales? You know, created to make naughty children behave or put in stories to tell around a camp fire? A myth!"
"All myths have some truth behind them." Tala said darkly. "Maybe vampires are real after all."
