Chapter 4- Confused and Tortured
Its been a couple of days since Kai and Mikaia talked in her room about escaping. Since then, it has gotten a lot tougher than she thought it would get for her in that abbey. So far, she has been watched carefully and has had a constant babysitter with her at all times, whether its Tala, Bryan or Spencer, none of them was Kai. He was always too busy training for the upcoming tournament.
One night, Mikaia thought she would try to escape again, even though Kai told her to wait, she was too anxious to wait, she had to get out of that place. In her room, she was preparing for the escape by gathering her stuff together and gathering supplies she could use. She was wearing a cheerleading muscle shirt tanktop that was black with black cargo pants to hold her supplies. Her hair was up in a ponytail and her clothing she made sure was dark indeed.
She walked out of her room, knowing the guard would be either asleep or off to the bathroom like usual. She ran down the hallway, trying not to make any noise as she ran, coming down the end of the hallway, she stopped and looked around the corner. She saw nobody, so she turned and ran down another hallway.
Bryan was walking down a hallway after some late night training. What he didnt know was that he was going to get a suprise coming down the hall.
Mikaia kept on running until she came down to a fork in the hall, she stopped to check and then turned left, going down the same hallway as Bryan was walking down. She ran past Voltaire's office without knowing it, causing him to see her and Boris started chasing after her. " Hey, Someone stop her ", Boris yelled. She heard them, looked back and when she looked back forward, she saw Bryan standing there and he caught her. Grabbing her in a tight bear hug and pushing her against a wall, waiting for Boris to come down and get her. " Good job Bryan, she is quite a handful huh? ", Boris asked him as he approached them. " Yes sir she is, what do you want me to do with her? ", Bryan asked her. Boris thought for a second and then thought of a great idea. " Follow me down to the dungeon, I have an idea in mind. If she ever does escape from here, people will know where she belongs and return her to us, she will have a special name on her ", Boris said as he started walking down to the dungeon, Bryan holding Mikaia tight and holding her mouth shut so she doesnt wake up anyone else. She struggled and screamed, trying to get Kai to come down looking for her but it was no use. Bryan was much too strong for her.
When they got down to the dungeon, Bryan threw Mikaia down on the floor, making her very scared. She started to scoot away backwards, breathing very heavily. Kai heard the commosion down the hall and went down to the dungeon, seeing Bryan and Boris looking down at Mikaia, everyone else followed in to see what was going on. " Whats going on Boris? ", Tala asked. Boris took out his thin pocket knife and a lighter, then gave it to Tala. " Here, make sure that Knife is very hot ", Boris said as Tala took it and started doing what he was told to do. Boris then pushed Mikaia down on the floor and started lifting up her shirt, making her very scared and she started pushing his hands away. " You like to run away, you like to go places you shouldnt go? I'll teach you where you belong you little bitch. Bryan, hold her down ", Boris ordered. Bryan got above Mikaia's head and pulled her arms up toward him, pinning them down. Boris then started writing something on her thin abbed stomach with a permanent marker. " Tala is the knife ready? ", Boris asked.
Tala nodded and gave the knife to Boris, wandering what Boris had in mind. " No please dont...I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY PLEASE DONT DO THIS ", Mikaia screamed, knowing exaclty what was going to happen. Ignoring her, Boris started to trace the letters on her stomach with the hot knife, branding her. She screamed very loudly, crying and sobbing at the same time. " Please STOP, Please I'll DO ANYTHING PLEASE STOP ", Mikaia yelled once again. Boris couldnt take anymore of her screaming, so he looked at Kai and handed the knife to him. " Here Kai, finish it ", Boris ordered him. Kai looked worriedly at Mikaia, not wanting to hurt her. " Boris...I...cant ", Kai said. Boris shook his head and gave the knife to Kai forcivilly. " Kai, she kicked you in the eye remember? You have every right to get her back, punish her ", Boris said as he got off Mikaia and pushed Kai toward her. He looked down at her stomach and grew angry. " What does it say Kai? ", Spencer asked him. " It says...Biovolt ", Kai answered. " Kai, start finishing it...Now ", Boris said, whipping him in the back very hard. Kai winced and looked down at Mikaia. " Please kai...dont...Im begging you...please dont...", Mikaia begged in a whisper. Kai let a teardrop, knowing he had to do it if he didnt want to get punished. " Im so sorry Mikaia ", Kai said as he started to brand her. She screamed and screamed as he started to finish what Boris started.
Mikaia was left in the dungeon, with her stomach bleeding from the the branding, her body feeling like she got hit by a train. She was laying on the floor, paralyzed from pain.
Kai was hanging out with the boys in the break room after training once again. He couldnt believe he let Boris tell him what to do, especially to Mikaia. He now knew there was no chance for her to escape now, the guards were heavy around the dungeon area. Only Boris and Voltaire had permission to go down and see her, or torture her some more. " Hey Kai, whats wrong? You feeling guilty for what happened to that girl? ", Bryan asked him. Kai turned toward Bryan with a very angry expression on his face. " You held her down while she was being tortured, how come you dont feel guilty? ", Kai asked him. " Kai, you're the one who branded her, you should feel more guilty than me ", Bryan said. Kai grew angry and stormed out of the break room, heading toward his grandfathers office.
Boris and Voltaire were talking about when they would put Mikaia's bitbeast inside her body, when Kai suddenly stormed in. " Kai, what is the big deal? You know you're supposed to knock first ", Voltaire said as he stood up. Kai stormed toward Voltaire and slammed his fists down on the table. " I want to see Mikaia! NOW! ", Kai demanded. Voltaire was a little shocked that Kai wanted to see Mikaia, but he wasnt going to just let him. " Now Kai, might I ask why? ", Voltaire asked. Kai had to think of something quick, knowing Boris and Voltaire hated Mikaia, he thought he would ask them something they couldnt refuse. " I wish to get even with her once and for all. No need to tell you what, just let me handle the bitch. I will teach her never to kick another one of us again ", Kai said in a creepy calm manner. Boris smirked at the idea of Kai torturing Mikaia, it brings out what he is supposed to act like. " Fine Kai, have your fun ", Voltaire said, giving Kai the key to Mikaia's cell in the dungeon. Kai took it and then took a breath of relief.
Mikaia was still laying still on the floor, trying her hardest to move, but she couldnt since she was in so much pain. She heard the door open and slowly looked toward the opening, seeing Kai walk down the stairs toward her. He looked down at her, feeling so guilty for what he had done. " Mikaia...Im...sorry ", Kai said as he slowly approached her. She didnt answer him, only looked up at him with the look of betrayl in her eyes. Kai kneeled down next to her and stroked her hair out of her face, watching her flinch away from his touch. " Kai...why? ", she managed to get out through all the heavy breathing. Kai shook his head and leaned down to give her a kiss on the forehead. " I promise I will never hurt you again Mikaia, you can bet my life on it. We have to get you out of here and I mean now. I'll take you to my room and you can stay there for the night ", Kai said. She looked up at him with a small smile. He smiled back down at her and then went back upstairs to where the guards were. " Hey guards, you guys can go take a break, Voltaire wanted me to tell you that since Im going to be down here ", Kai said. The guards shrugged at eachother and then started walking away. Kai ran back downstairs and gently picked up Mikaia in his arms, being very careful not to hurt her anymore than he already has. She groaned in pain, grabbing at Kai's shirt while she did so. Her shirt was covered in blood from the branding she took in earlier.
Kai carried her to his room without being noticed. He gently laid her down on the bed and went to his bathroom to get some bucket of water, a cloth and some ice and bandages. He sat down on her legs so he could do it better than from the side, stroking her face to calm her down. " Im only helping you Mikaia, since you helped me that one time ", Kai told her. Her breathing softend a little bit but got heavier and heavier as he started washing the branding area. She couldnt hold back the scream anymore, she was about to let it out before Kai shut her up by covering her mouth with his hand. " Its ok, I know it hurts but I have to clean Mikaia, let me help you ok? ", Kai said to her. She nodded numbingly, grabbed a pillow and groaned into that as he cleaned up the branded area and bandaged it up. He took a breath of relief that it finally got cleaned and he got off of her to be at the side of her. Tears were flowing down her face, she didnt know what to think of him now.
" I am so sorry Mikaia, I didnt know what the hell was wrong with me. I shouldve fought back ", Kai said, running his fingers through her hair. He felt more guilty then ever, he still couldnt believe that he was the one who branded ' Biovolt ' on her stomach. He gently ran his hand over the bandaged area, not putting any pressure on it since she was in so much pain. He knew he was falling in love with her, without really knowing her. He knew it was probably out of sympathy, but he couldnt help but gaze into her gorgeous emerold eyes and get happier everytime he hears her voice. She looked at him with her tear stained eyes and let a small smile come apon her face. " Kai...you are not to blame...you were whipped into doing it. I forgive you, even though I really shouldnt ", Mikaia said in the softest voice anyone can love. She brought a hand up and ran it through his hair. Kai took ahold of her hand and held it to his cheek. " Mikaia, I should be the one to get branded, you can brand ' Traitor ' on my forehead, because that is what I am, at least to you '', Kai said. She shook her head no and sighed, knowing the pain will be gone soon. " Kai, we all do things were are not proud of. Thats a fact of life, you were forced to do this to me, how could I possibly blame you? Why dont you get some sleep? It looks like you need it more than I do ", Mikaia said. Kai smiled a bit and then crawled into bed right next to her. Gently pulling her into his arms, he gave her another kiss on the forehead. " I promise my life to you Mikaia, I will get you out of here, we'll escape together ", Kai said, stroking her hair. Both of them fell asleep as the moon shined in on them...
