The unpredictable battlefield.
Chapter 17 – Calvin Disappears.
The hours we (me and Kai) spent looking for Calvin seemed like forever. But weirdly I wasn't angry with him, I was just curious to know what the hell was going on here. I know Kai wanted to skin him alive, but a feeling in my gut was telling me to find the Calvin first and talk to him – one to one like a pair of men.
Max and Rei were patrolling the outside of the perimeter; meanwhile everyone else was searching the dome with us. Kenny and Bryan had taken Tala to the hospital to make sure everything was okay – every half an hour they would text me to keep me updated on the situation.
They said he was going to be okay, but he was in another short coma. Damn it… That guy never gets a day off from the darkness.
"What a coward." Kai huffed and startled me with the sound of his fist slamming against the corridor wall. "It's one of those moments where you know he can see you, but you can't see him."
A deep exhale left my throat and I lifted my head back to look up to the lights on the ceiling. "Don't think like that Kai, it will only wind you up even more." I replied and reached my left arm out to seal my hand onto my backstage room. Anxiously I tugged it, but it was locked…
I didn't lock it?
"I'll kill him…"
"Kai, I think he's in here." I cut him off and instantly glued both of my hands onto the door handle to try and open it. "Step aside dude, I'm going to kick it down."
Releasing the door handle, I stepped back a few steps and closed my eyes to brace myself. The adrenaline rush building up inside my broad figure was really starting to catch me off guard – I was developing the shakes.
BANG!
Of course he impatiently beat me to the opportunity. Kai kicked open the door and stormed straight in to the room. I re-opened my eyes and rushed in there to grab him. "Kai let me handle this." I begged with my arms wrapped around his firm waist.
He ignored me and kept walking with me attached to him. "Kai, please." I then forced myself onto the floor so Kai would follow me – landing on top of me.
"You are wasting time Tyson!"
"I can't let you just kick the crap out of him Kai."
He pinned me down aggressively by placing both my hands above my head. I bit down on my lower lip and gazed my eyes into his fiery crimson eyes. It was so intimidating, but I couldn't show him that.
"And what are you going to do? Stop me?"
"Pretty much." I muttered and leaned my upper body up to his. "Come on Kai, you don't really want to do this."
"Oh give me a break."
"Give him a break."
His warm breath was brushing against my dry lips and my heart was rising into my throat. I couldn't resist him, it was: his dominance, his bad boy image and his protectiveness – it consumed me like a vulnerable sucker.
I'd only be a vulnerable sucker towards him though, nobody else. I wanted to say: 'Kai, this guy is broken just like you are' – but there are a million reasons why I can't. Not only would my captain bounce my head off every wall in this room, but he would dissect Calvin too.
I couldn't risk it anymore; I had to calm him down!
So I did something that I knew was dangerous – I leaned my head closer to his and crashed my lips into his. I clenched my eyelids shut and prepared myself for whatever was going to happen next.
Either a smack in the face or…A kiss back. This is crazy!
Let's face it, that awkward moment felt unreal. It's as if the world around us didn't exist anymore and we both suddenly forgot about Calvin's malicious deed. My heart stopped beating and I felt dead for a moment or two.
But the moment his lips pressed back against mine, he rested my body back down to the ground and revived me. Before we knew, it our lips were moving in a passionate rhythm and he trailed his hands from my wrists, down my arms, to my chest.
Wriggling my free hands to shake off the pins and needles, I wrapped them around his neck and pulled him deeper into the hungry kiss. I couldn't get enough of him; he tasted like a drug that I could happily overdose on.
Yet just as everything seemed perfect to me, something weird happened.
BANG!
That loud sound started ringing through my ears constantly and the left side of my body just went numb. I couldn't open my eyes either, for some reason, they didn't want to open and no matter how hard I tried to separate my eyelids, it wasn't happening.
Great, I can't hear or see anything. Why!?
Seconds later – I noticed that Kai's bodily warmth had disappeared and his lips had detached from mine. What's going on?
A shooting pain thrived up my hip and I screamed in agony. "KAI!" I cried and forced my hands to the wound to figure out what was going on.
There was warm thick liquid! And a hole!
SOMEONE HAS SHOT ME!
My eyes moistened and I squirmed on the spot in agony. "Kai!" I repeatedly called out for him.
Where has he gone?!
