Chapter 9: Broken Wings


Kai took three steps into the room, and then opened the door a bit wider. Behind it, sat a five year old boy, with two toned hair and crimson coloured eyes.

'I knew you would come...'

The boys eyes shined of a hate he had never seen before. The five year old rose to his feets, but the ice cold stare never leting go of Kai's.

'But some things can never be forgiven!!!'

The boy ran forward, but now, Kai was prepaired. He ran as fast as he could to the middle of the room, and picked up the black blade. The little boy stopped.

"Come any closer, and I'll destroy it. Understand?!"

Five year old Kai smirked, and disappeared. Kai raised an eyebrow. He hadn't thought that it would be that easy.

"Kai?"

He looked up, to see the others. "You guys okay?" Tyson, who looked wery pale and more terrefied than ever, nodded. Max and Ray just steared at them, like they were both maniacs. Max was the first to breake the silence.

"What's going on? What are guys talking about?"

Kai looked at him. "What are you talking about? You saw what... oh, of course!"

Ray smiled, a bit unsure. "I think you got a lot of things to tell us, Kai.


"Now, what's going on? 'Couse I dont undestand this. I didn't see anything in that room." Ray said, sitting down around the kitchen table. So did the others, and Kai cleared his throat. "Ehm...I'm not quite shure where to begin. But, I have been thinking a lot since we came here. And..." He hesitated. "And, I have...seen things."

Max raised an eyebrow. "What things?" Tyson remained silent.

Kai smiled. Now, he understood it. "You know that painting in the hallway?" Max and Ray nodded. He swallowed, and continued. "Earlier, when Max asked me some questions about it, I noticed that something was wrong with it. The place where I should have been, was empty. The Kai from the paiting was gone-"

"No, Kai. It was perfectly fine. There was nothing wrong with it at all."

Kai shook his head. "You're wrong. And I know why, but I think that I have to take the story from the beginning-"

Ray, who understood what he was about to tell them, broke him off. "Kai, you dont have to, you know?"

"I know. But if you dont hear it from me now, someone else will tell you later. So, I dont see the point in pretending anymore..." He took a deep breath. "It all started 15 years ago, when I was nearly three years old. I lived here, with my parents and my little sister, Anya." He smiled, and tried to hold the tears back. "Anja and I grew up together, and I really loved her. She was the perfect sister. She was allways smiling." He looked up at the others. They were all smiling, except from Tyson, who was stearing down at the table.

"But then, terrible things started to happen. Peoples started to...die. Peoples in my family. Cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents...on my mothers side of course. Untill, we were the only ones left, except from Voltaire. Thay said that all those persons died in accidents, that they were ill...but I know that they were murdered. And I know that it was Voltaire. And then, he came home to us. I remember it like it was only yesterday. It was at Christmas Eve, and we sat in the living-room when they came. I was eight years old then, I cant remember what they said, actually I didn't understand anything. But then, Voltaire lifted his gun...and shot dad, and then mum."

He was silent for a long time. "I should have done more to help them. But...it all happened so fast."

"There was nothing you could have done Kai." Max smiled, sorrow could be seen in his eyes.

"I belive I was in some kind of a shock. I didn't belive what had just happened. I...I even didn't think about getting Anya in safety. And...they shot her." Kai shiwered, tears streaming down his pale cheeks. He had promiced himself not to cry in front of them, but he couldn't help it. It was just too mutch.

"Kai, I'm sorry..." Max was crying too, but Ray looked at him with a weird glance in his eyes. "He shot you too, didn't he?"

"Of course he did. Why do you think I am using this scarf?" He took it off and showed them a black mark on his neck. "I dont remember anything after that, just that I woke up in the Abbey. And now, when I am back, things are starting to happen again. Do you guys remember that I said I have problems with controlling my powers?" They all nodded again, even Tyson. "What happened today, is a true sign of that. I now understand that It is me that makes all this happening. I dont know...maybe It's because I feel guilty about what happened that night, so many years ago. I'm just shure that the Kai on that painting comes to life, and I think that he is living on my guilt. I dont have any other explanations."

It was quiet for a long time. Kai wondered what was wrong with Tyson. He wasn't used to him being like this.

"The only thing I cant understand," Ray said. "is why you and Tyson could see him, but not me and Max."

"I think I do."

Thay all looked at Tyson, who finally had started to speak.


Flashback

"Mom! Dad! Are we there yet?! Are we there, are we there!!??"

Tyson's father laughed. "Calm down Tyson, I'll tell you when we are there."

Nine year old Tyson jumped back in his seat in the back of the car, and looked out of the window. The snow fell, and everything was so white otside, Tyson could barely see anything else. He had a good feeling in his body, knowing that it was cold outside, and feeling how warm it was inside this car. His brother, Hiro, had fell asleep beside him, hours ago. Tyson closed his eyes too, he felt so tired.

But he couldn't sleep. A woice inside of him said that he should stay awake. After ten minuites, he gave up, just sat there and looked out of the window. And then he saw something. He sat up and moved closer, so close that his nose nearly met the cold glass. They drowe under a small stone-bridge. A boy, a bit older than himself sat on the top of it. He couldn't see him clearly, but he was wearing a black uniform, and the wind lifted his white scarf up behind him, made him look like an angel. Tyson steared, and for a secound, he was shure the boy had seen him too. And then, they drowe by. Tyson tured aroud and looked out of the large window behind him. All he could see, was the stone-bridge.

Outside, the snow never stopped falling.

End of flashback


When Tyson was finnished with his story, he took a deep breath and looked at Kai.

"Now, I understand that it was you. I thought I had forgot it, but...well, dont you think that since I have seen you before, I can also see him, when he comes out of the painting. That can explain why Ray and Max cant. Dont you think?"

Kai nodded slowly. Tyson's story, had made him feel different. Something in his memory wanted to come back. A forgotten memory, maybe. What had he done on that bridge? Beside him, he felt more that heard, that the others had started to talk. Their voices sounded like thay came from a other room, like someone had closed a door between him and them. He rmembered now. Everything was so clear, why had he forgot? How could he forget? He looked out of the beautiful kitchen-window.

Outside, the snow never stopped falling.
