The next few days were full of fear. Kai strictly forbade Tala to ever talk to a stranger even if it was an emergency. It was a miserable time for Tala, because without any reason at all, he had been totally imprisoned to the bridge. He never dared to break Kai's rules just because he had learned over the past few years of his life that they were rightly imposed and those who broke them, regretted it.

Kai realized the fact that Tala was very miserable but he was just cautious because if they were caught, he knew that they would not be spared. It had been a month now since they had escaped the abbey and Kai knew that even now Boris and his people would be out looking for them. He saw Tala, his face showing signs of misery and defeat. This crushed his heart. A gust of wind blew in bringing frosty cold, making them shiver. A page hit Tala's face. It was poster for a local beyblading championship. A little sub heading made his electric blue eyes shine. They were offering money as the fist prize. "Kai! Kai! Look at this! You have to enter the competition Kai! You just have to." Kai opened his mouth to say something. "Please Kai, do it for me." Tala cut him off. Kai looked at Tala and thought something. Smiling he took the poster from the young boy's hand. He looked at it. "LAST DATE TO REGISTER 15 JANUARY 1998"

"THAT'S TODAY!!" They looked at each other and ran towards the beystadium.

Thousands of children thronged the stadium cheering for their favorite blader. Lights and music and a lot of noise filled it. Kai was so happy; he made it to the semi finals unbeaten. He saw Tala cheering him on. That made him feel very proud and warm with happiness inside. This was his final match and if he won this match then he would be crowned champion of the tournament and would get that money. He already knew what he would do with that money; he would buy back the blade that Tala had sold. This last match was going to be easy for his Dranzer as the competition here was very weak. In one sweep he knocked his opponent's blade out of the beydish. The crowd went wild cheering Kai's name, Tala being one of them. Unknowing to Kai he was also noticed by some adults. Kai was handed his check in a small, full of balloons (which Kai thought was childish though it was supposed to be) ceremony.

The ceremony ended and instead of letting him go Kai was escorted to a room in the back of the stadium. "Hello Kai. My name is Alfred and I'm here to take you with me."

Tala was waiting impatiently for Kai to return. He tried to make his way towards the stadium but was ruthlessly pushed aside. "Hey come on get out of my way. My friend is in there." "Sorry kid but nobody is in there and the tournament is over so you go home now. Your mother must be worrying about you." "But you don't unders….." "What did I just tell you?" the guard getting Impatient shoved him out of the entrance hall.

"Hey who are you and where are you taking me?" Kai tried to resist being dragged towards the back entrance where he could see a black car. "Don't worry master Kai you will know soon enough." "I want the answers NOW." Alfred a little surprised at the boys commanding attitude but merely smiled and went on. Kai tried to free his hand from the older man but all in vain. His strength was just not enough to do anything.

In the car it was a silent long journey as he was made to sit in the back and Alfred was driving. Fear suddenly crept over him. "HEY STOP THE CAR!!!! I HAVE A FRIEND WAITING FOR ME!!! I HAVE TO GO GET HIM." Alfred stopped the car and looked back. "Hmm…"

Tala was scared. Where was Kai? Why hadn't he come back? He had been standing in front of the stadium for a long time now and still there was no sign of him.

I'm really sorry for this very late and short update. SORRY!!!
