Kai's POV
~.~.~
I swear I thought my eart had skipped a whole beat when I saw who Zane had thrown his shurikens at. Lloyd stood there alarmed as the sharp star barely missed his face. Jay exhaled as if he weren't breathing the whole time and leaned against the wall grasping his chest. "Zane!", I shouted pushing myself up. A drop of sweat dripped from Lloyd's chin. He looked startled and shivered before taking a deep breathe.
"Forgive me Lloyd! You startled me!", Zane apologized. "I could say the same about you Zane.", Lloyd replied stepping forward. I sighed in relief. Yet, at the back of my mind was Cole. But, I wasn't going to tell them unless they asked about him. It hit me hard to accept the fact that he was really gone. The good times we still had left to share with him haunted me. He wasn't ready to leave, and we weren't ready for him to leave either. Once again, the tears of sadness and pain pushed on my eyes, but I held it for the sake of Lloyd and Jay.
"Glad to have found you guys.", Jay finally said chuckling, "But, where's-"
"So did you guys find anything?", I asked cutting him off on purpose. "Nope, not yet.", Lloyd replied rubbing the back of his neck, "I swear this reminds me of that horror movie we saw last week with that old creepy house." I frowned when he mentioned that. Only because at the end of the movie, everyone died tragically. "Geez Kai, it was a joke. You don't have to cry about it." I snapped out of my thoughts right then to find moisture on my face. The tears escaped. Every last one of them.

Zane wrapped his arm around Kai as he wiped away his tears. "What did I do?!", Lloyd asked shrugging. Jay raised an eyebrow in confusion. "It isn't you Lloyd. It is Cole."
"What's wrong with Cole?", Jay asked, his eyes wide and heart pounding. Kai stood up and began climbing back up the steps with Zane and the others behind him. Kai finally stepped up onto the last floor and froze. He gasped as he stared at the blood stained carpet. Jay gagged at the sight. "What happened up here?", Jay asked tapping Kai's shoulder. Kai spotted a small note by the stain and picked it up.
Your friend is alive. If you want to see him again, meet us in room 205. Don't think about coming empty handed, or else.
"Guys.", Kai whispered, "We have a serious problem."
Hey guys! I'm back! Sorry if this chapter wasn't as good and exciting as the other chapters...I'm a tad bit rusty.
Until next time!
