Here it is, sorry for the delay! My education called =.=|| And if you don't like Hilary very much, good! 'Cause this chapter is not written from Hilary's POV.

Thanks for all the favorites that you guys gave this story!

And my loyal reviewers!

Enjoy! (By the way, some Kai/Tala...beatings in this chapter~)

Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade, never will, and I'm not making a profit from this.

Thoughts, flashback, or a simple emphasis on a word

"Russian"

'I can't believe I'm doing this...' Rei thought as he quietly left the kitchen after Hilary.

'Curiosity killed the cat Rei...'

Snorting quietly he crept up the stairs where he saw the Blitzkreig boys all huddled around something on the bed. He watched Hilary walk into the room like she was the queen of the world and say, "MOVE."

Tala snapped his head up and glared at her before he noticed Rei and his icy eyes seemed to soften (AN: No romance....)

Then he stopped understanding what they were saying as they talked in hurried, Russian voices.

Bryan walked out of the huddled group and walked up to Hilary and glared down at her.

She seemed to shrink slightly and he snatched the bowl of water from her and went back over to the rest of the Russians.

Then, Rei, finally figuring out that strange scent that wafted from the middle of the group of Russians, wrinkled his nose due to his cat like senses.

The stench of blood was floating around the room and Rei crept over to the Russian team as Hilary huffed and stormed out of the room like only she could.

Being shorter than most of them he got up onto his toes and peered into the group and he saw a little black puff of blood slicked fur curled up, whimpering in its slumber.

Also due to his animal half, his heart ached for the poor creature and he pushed Tala and Bryan away and bent down and looked the poor animal over, whispering in Chinese to the creature.

Tala and the other Russians looked on stoically.

After at least two minutes of Rei's fussing over the creature, Kai piped up in a monotone voice.

"He's done this before."

Rei stopped talking to the kitsune and snapped his head around, anger burning in his eyes.

"What?" His voice grated, losing its comforting tone entirely.

This time Spencer spoke in a similar monotone voice.

"How else do you think we got such unnatural bitbeasts?" His face formed a gruesome smile (AN: I don't hate him D:). "He liked to use birds at first, and then began working on other animals, taking their DNA, studying their bone structure...from the inside, and also how much energy their body could handle."

Rei's face was the absolute picture of anger.

Spencer spoke quietly in Russian, "Should we tell him that we've gotten a message with this little guy too?"

Tala replied quickly. "No. Not yet." The note was in his pocket, and since his hand was in his pockets he scrunched it, his face too contorting into anger as he recalled what part of it had read

To my dearest students.

I have sent you another one, more and more creatures will die if you still refuse to comply.

Humans and animals alike are being shaped into beings at least ten times stronger than you.

If you do not come back to my Abbey, I will pick you off one by one, starting with your fellow Bladebreakers.

I will get you back. I refuse to let my soldiers, that I raised, fed, and sheltered, leave me.

The note was not signed but it was quite clear who had written it. Their handwriting was similar to Kai's, who had been taught by one of the most twisted men in the world.

Voltaire.

(Kai's POV)

I glanced over to Tala, who was clenching something in his pocket.

Probably that note.

Just at the thought of it, I grimaced. All the torture I had been through just to keep other students out of harm's way. I didn't want to go back there and live through all that again. Sometimes the torture was more emotional than physical, watching Tala get beaten was by far the worst...

Flashback

I looked over to the other guard as I was pushed along by my own. Tala's face was just as filled with fear as mine. Even if it was not written on our faces, our eyes revealed our feelings like an open book.

Being shoved around a corner, I managed to peer into some of the other cells.

Big, dull eyes stared back, and as we passed they shined with sympathy.

Even if we were harsh and cruel to each other, everyone at the Abbey held a companionship, and understanding of what we went through to survive.

I snapped out of my trance as we stopped in front of a large, metal, bolted door. Tala was shaking, and I could feel myself pale at the sight of it, even though I had been here many times before.

My guard stepped forward with some keys and Tala's guard grabbed me roughly by the back of my shirt.

The door was opened and we were shoved into the dark, blood stained room.

I moved my red eyes up and looked at the figure standing there as if there was no care in the world, his purple hair stuck out and seemed to have a few drops of blood.

Probably not his.

He stepped forward, towards me, and I shrunk back.

He grinned, showing yellow teeth. Grabbing me by my hair he dragged me over and plopped me down into a hard wooden chair and I whimpered as restraints were locked down onto my arms and my head was held back by a guard hiding in the shadows.

Boris stepped forward, his favorite whip in his gloved hand.

He moved towards Tala and I struggled to free myself, kicking, lashing out, anything, but the guard diminished my efforts by moving a hand in front of my head and slamming his fist into my eye.

I stopped jerking and closed it painfully, but kept the other one open.

I could only watch helplessly as my heart tore in two as Boris advanced onto Tala.

(Later on that fateful day, Tala's POV)

Everything hurts.

My back, my face, my arms, my stomach, my chest, my hands, my legs, my feet.

Bloody gashes have already soaked my dirt-covered clothing, I can feel it seeping from them. With a sharp pain I tilt my head from my lying positing on the floor.

Kai had given me his blanket, and was now shivering like he was in a fridge (He wasn't far from it).

Black spots entering my vision, I force myself to stay looking at Kai.

He has a nasty bruise covering half of his face, don't remember what happened though.

The black spots have gotten bigger, and I can barely see Kai's eyes. They're dull, full of sadness and remorse.

I want to tell him not to worry, but Kai and I are close. People in the Abbey tend to not make friends, and lash out at anybody who does, because they're afraid that they'll lose them.

We all live in fear, I think as the black takes my vision over and I see Kai moving in front of me as I faintly hear the guard's footsteps advancing towards us.

(End flashback)

(Spencer's POV)

I look over at Tala, who is seething, and then at Rei who is picking up the fox and moving him to his room probably.

I knows, and I think he knows, that it's a lost cause.

Rei just left the room, I think Hilary is following him around like a lost puppy...

Then I look to Tala and Kai. Kai's eyes are distant, and he's paling.

'Shit!'

I think and Tala and I both make our way towards him. We stay silent and I move to put a hand on his shoulder. He doesn't tense, which means he's really out of it.

I shake him gently.

"Kai?"

No response.

This time Tala tries.

"Kai, come on."

We look at each other briefly before we manage to catch Kai as his knees crumple beneath him.

There you go, extra long to make up for late update.

Tell me what you'd like to see!
