'thoughts'

[Russian]

"talking"

(Ace's p.o.v.)

The first thing I see when I wake up is Tala chewing on Kai's leg and Brooklyn running around the room screaming "Cannibal!" at the top of his lungs. I jump off the couch as Kai seems to have woken up and is trying to pry Tala off. Bryan is helping but not making any progress. Spencer cracks his fingers and flexes his hands. Time for the Jaws of life as Ian unceremoniously named them after his encounter with them and his unrelenting grip on Tala's hand. Kai is running a hand through his two-toned hair. He looks like he just might. Too late.

"AAAAAHHHHHH!" Tala screams as he covers his ears and Spencer takes a look at Kai's leg. It's bleeding and has deep bite marks. He whistled loud enough for him to hear since he has such great hearing. I laughed at this scene. Ian was rolling on the floor laughing. Spencer had accidentally wrapped his hand to Kai's leg. And Bryan was rocking back and forth muttering "Never again." Course the funniest was Kai's expression. Pure terror, shock and also amusement.

"Now you can't say you didn't deserve it Ta-" I stop as I watch everyone tense including Sai. I still can't belive that he's a ghost. I mean I have to admit no many paranormal and supernatural researches can say this. I have seen and live with a real ghost. (no insult as I am a researcher as well.) they relax and I turn around to see Grandfather standing there laughing at the mess. Kai's blushing and staring at the floor.

"Hello grandfather." We all chorus and smile er well Kai just looks up then down.

"Welcome home grandfather. I… remember everything now." Grandfather immediately hugs him as Kai cries into his chest. I watched as they held onto each other as if they would never let go. Pain and guilt flashed in grandfather's eyes but he had a smile on his face. Kai covered his ears as if to shut out a noise. He sank to his knees and shook his head.

"That's not true!" he shouted and Ian ran over to him. He looked frightened and a bit paranoid as he glanced every which way. He forced Kai to look at him. I saw Kai's pale, fear-stricken face look up wildly.

"Where is it K-" Ian was launched into the ceiling. I watched as Tala glowed and then Wolborg appeared beside him.

"Where there is darkness there is also light. The light and dark are always in balance. Balance of powers!" he shouted as the room was covered in a pale blue light. An unworldly shriek reached our ears and then faded out with the light. Tala fell forward and was caught by Bryan since Spencer was taking care of Ian. I saw Kai face down on the floor. His breathing labored and complexion extremely pale. Grandfather walked over to him and placed Kai's head in his lap. He was trying not to cry but it wasn't working for a few tears escaped. Bryan was trying to get some response from Tala and Ian was barely coming to. Which. was some good news. Sai and Brooklyn were both standing by and watching passively. What was up with these two? They seemed so out of place in this disaster. But like my mom once told me 'life throws curve balls and some people are more prepared to handle them than others. Just like your cousin Kai.' She always said since he hardly ever reacted to anything that happened.

Like when he was pushed down the stairs by Jerry this kid who he warned me wasn't a friend. He broke his left arm and all of his right leg. He didn't cry or scream. That day I regarded Kai as someone to look up to.
