"Come with me." The man tried to grab Kai's arm in an attempt to get him back on his feet. Kai shoved the man back and ran away. The man decided to follow him, keeping a safe distance. Kai still mad at Tala roamed around the city. He realized that someone was following him. A thought struck him, was it someone from the abbey? Realizing this he ran even faster. He entered a fish market packed with people. A very bad odor in the air, shopkeepers and fishermen shouting their prices, this was the best place to hide form that person, whoever he was.
Frustrated that he lost the child the man stood their figuring out what to do next. Someone tugged his coat "excuse me have you seen a boy about a little taller than me and seven years of age, purple eyes, silver and blue hair and has blue marks on his face?"Are you a friend of his?"he asked Tala. "Yes, we are the best of friends. We live in the same err.... building too." "Is that so?" the man smiled at Tala. "Then I will help you find him. Last time I saw him he went in there." He pointed towards the market. "Do you want something to eat? You look hungry." After Kai went away Tala had not eaten the food he had bought and had left it back under the bridge. "No thank you." Kai had told him never to eat from strangers offering food not even from the nice ones. And with that he ran towards the place to find Kai the man following behind far.
Kai! Kai! He heard someone calling his name. It was Tala. He wasn't sure if the man was still out there but he couldn't ignore Tala's calls and if the man found out that Tala was there too and captured him, Kai would never forgive himself. "Tala, I'm here." Tala saw Kai coming towards him. "We have to go" "but where Kai?" "There's a man following me around and I think he's one of Boris's men." "What?!?" Tala was alarmed upon hearing this. "What are we going to do?" he asked Kai worried and feeling insecure. "We will have to move to somewhere else." "But where will we go, that was the only place that ......" "Don't worry I will figure something out." Kai took Tala's hand and ran out of the market the other way.
Far away from main Moscow city, it was snowing heavily. A man opened a gate to a mansion, driving his car in the porch and parked it there. It was very still and not a thing made a sound. The man opened the huge oak door and it produced an eerie sound announcing the return of a little life that this place had left. The man brushed snow off of him and took the little supplies he had brought from the city in to the kitchen (that was very very far away from the main door.) this place was entrusted in his care as its owner never came here anymore. But sometimes he would come to spend some time alone in his memories. But that too, was a long time ago. He walked through the dark hallways as usual. The walls were filled with large portraits of people who had lived here for centuries, all stiff and proud, not showing any emotion. This family was very proud of their existence, their heritage, their status and their wealth. And exactly this pride had torn them apart and destroyed them. At last he reached the door leading to the dining room and kitchen. He paused, looked at one last picture, smiled and moved on. He did this every time he passed this place and there was a very good reason behind it (But we will explain that later on.) he sighed, he had always prayed that somehow this place would once again shine and be filled with people like it used to be. Just as he was placing the groceries on the table the phone rang and what he heard was not so amusing at all.
that's it for now! please review. ^_^
