Chapter 10: I can see clearly now...

Kai yawned and sat down around the kitchen-table. Sunlight shined through the windows and the snow outside cowered the landscape like a white carpet. Max and Ray were sitting beside him, eating breakfast, both with a tired look on theys faces. Kai smirked as he saw Max's head dropp forward, nearly falling asleep over his plate.

He waited a few secounds. "I'm not quite shure, but if I should guess, I would say that you guys are a bit tired?" They both looked up at him, with their version of the death-glare. Kai grinned, taking the point.

Then, they could all hear footsteps, and the secound later, Tyson entered the room. Kai had to be honest, Tyson looked worse than the two others, even he had thought that it would be impossible.

"Hey, guys! Something is coming!"

"Can you please stop referring to me as an animal?!"

Kai smirked and took a bite of his toast. He hadn't slept wery mutch that night eighter. How could he? Knowing that a mini-Kai, who lived in the portrait, sometimes could come to life, and hurt him! Wow, it really sounded weird that way. But it was the truth, wasn't it? He frowned, as Tyson sat down beside him. 'Damn, I gotta get rid of him, before he eats everything!'

"Okay," he said. "I'll stop calling you an animal. Besides, we got enough of them here. I think I heard something inside a room upstairs...maybe it was a cat or something?"

Tyson stopped chewing. "You serious?"

Kai smiled. "Yeah, I have no idea how it got in, but...it's a posibility."

"Where?!" Tyson shouted, while getting up from his chair.

"Uhhhm...upstairs! The first door around the corner."

Then, Tyson ran out the kitchen-door to 'save' the poor 'cat'.

Ray looked at the closed door, and then back at him. "What exactly is it around the corner upstairs?"

He grinned evily. "A huge mirror!"

"Kai, that is not nice." Max shook his head, but Kai could see that he was trying not to laugh. But then he got serious. "Have you looked at the painting yet?"

It was weird. When someone even mentioned that painting, everyone tensed, fell off their cairs or broke something. Now it was Ray's turn, who dropped the butter-jar. He swored and bent down under the table to pick it up again.

"Yep," Kai answered. "Nothing is wrong with it...yet."

"Oh, stop saying that! I'm starting to shiwer!" Ray said, whlie he dropped the butter-jar on the table again. "I mean, there is nothing we can do! Outside the castle, Voltaire is waiting for us, and inside the castle, a mini-you..." he pointed at Kai. "...wants to kill us! What are we going to do!?"

"Calm down," Kai answered, a bit pissed off. "After all, you are wrong. That ghost, or wathever he is, only wants to kill me, so you are perfectly safe."

"No, we're not! 'Couse if you haven't noticed, we aren't going to leave you!" Ray rose from the chair, and glared at him, as did Kai, but he was even more angry.

"Yes, you are! 'Couse if you are in his way, he wont hesitate to harm you! And I dont wont you to get hurt! If anymore happens, then you all would have to get to a safer place!"

"WHAT! We cant leave you here, to face him! He is way too powerfull!"

"And how can you know that?!"

"Because, I have heard you when you are sleeping! How many nightmares have you had about him!?"

"Only one! And that was the night before Tyson saw him! The first time, when we was in Tyson's house, was about Voltaire!"

"And you think that was a coincedence?! You havent had a nightmare about Voltaire in months!"

"Guys! Please!" Max begged.

"Shut up, Max!" Kai pointed angrily at Ray. "I am the captain, and if I say that you-"

He was broke off by a loud scream from upstairs. They all looked up at the cealing, and then at each other. Then they yelled "TYSON!" in unison and ran out of the kitchen.

Some minuites before

Tyson frowned and looked into the huge mirror. Typical Kai, sending him upstairs like this.

He didn't look very well. He had dark circles under his eyes, and his hair...well, use your imagination. Suddenly, he could hear loud voices from downstairs. He was just about to walk over to the stairs, when he saw something else in the mirror. He walked back, and steared into it. Nothing, maybe it was just his imagination? He shook his head, and laughed a bit of himself. The laughter slowly subsided. His reflection, hadn't laughed at all. He steared wideeyed into the golden-framed mirror. His reflection steared back. The voices downstairs grew louder.

Tyson took a step back. His reftection did the same. He jumped up and down. So did his reflection.

Now, he nearly thought it was fun(A/N: Oh, come on! We all know Tyson is childish!). He jumped up and down, and made funny faces. His reflection did the same. And, as a final, he ran two metres away, and then jumped back in front of the mirror. 'Oh my gosh...'

His reflection was gone. All he could see, was the empty hallway behind him.

'Looking for someone?'

Tyson turned around, and looked into his own eyes.

Finished reading? Lets go back to the present!

At the top of the stairs they were met by Tyson, who nearly ran into Kai in his hurry to get away from the mirror. Kai grabbed him, and held him so he couldn't get away. He looked around in the hallway. There were nothing out of normal.

"Tyson? Tyson, whats wrong?" Tyson shiwered, and steared back over his shoulder.

"It...It's the mirror..." Tyson whispered. Kai let go of him and walked over to stand in front of it. It looked normal, like any other mirror. Max had walked over to Tyson, and were now trying to calm him down. Kai reached his arm out, to tuch the cold glass.

"NO! KAI, DONT!" Tyson grabbed his hand and pushed him out of the way. Kai was suddenly surprised of his strenght. Tyson looked at him with scared eyes.

"It can be dangerous! We have to be careful!"

Kai shook his head. "No, I...I dont think he is here now. I-"

:::Master? Are you there?:::

Kai froze, and ran his hand through his hair.

'Dranzer? A...Are you okay?'

:::I'm fine, but you're not. He is clos Master! He is way too close!:::

"I'm fine now. It's okay." Tyson said, when Ray wanted to check if he was harmed.

'What do you mean? He is not here!'

:::He is! Things are not how it looks like anymore!:::

'Wait! How do you even know about him?! And...Dranzer? Damned!'

He tried to remain calm, but he had a really bad feeling about this. Could he make himself invisible? Maybe, but then, why hadn't he showed himself yet? Kai looked down to the ends of the corridor. Nothing, and the mirror looked okay! Now he really started to get nervous. And then, he undestood...Tyson.

"Kai? Are you okay?" Max walked over to him. Kai then noticed that he had been standig at the same spot in over a minuite. "No, It's not okay. Something is wrong."

"But, Kai it's okay now. He is gone."

"No, he's not. He's still here."

Max tensed, and when he spoke next, he whispered. "Where? Can you feel him?"

"No, but I know where he is. He's standing behind you, talking to Ray."

Max turned around, and when he turned back, he looked wery relieved. "Hey, dont scare me like that again, dude! It's not nice."

"Im not trying to scare you Max. Cant you see Tyson's eyes?"

Now, they both could see that Tyson's eyes had changed. They were...crimson, like Kai's.

Max swallowed nervously. "What are you going to do?"

"No idea."

Ray and 'Tyson' turned on their heels, and walked down the stairs, chatting and laughing.

"But...If that's him, where are the real Tyson?!" They looked at each other, terrefied.

Kai licked his lips. "I dont know...wait...didn't Tyson say that he saw something in the mirror?"

"But that wasn't Tyson, Kai!"

"I know, but it's worth a try, dont you think? Remember when I tried to tutch the mirror? He grabbed my hand! There's gotta be something special with that mirror..."

Max tutched the golden frame, and shiwered. "You think? I think it looks perfectly normal!"

Kai smirked and tried to lift the mirror a bit off the wall, so he could see behind it. But it didn't move! He pushed all he managed, but nothing happened!

"Just like I thought! There is a door or something else behind it! But...how do we open it?"

And then he saw it. Something he had never noticed. Someone(or something) had carved letters in the frame! But they were'nt like usual letters.

It looked like Max had seen them too, 'cause he steared wideeyed at them with his mouth open. "Wow! Look at that. Strange we didn't notice before now! Ehm...I have no idea what it means. Do you?"

Kai nodded slowly. "Im not quite shure. But this is not a russian, thats for shure...I think it's...Oh of course! It's Futhark! Also called 'the lost, scandinavian language'! This is the alphabet the vikings used!"

"Damned! Do you...understand what it means?"

"Shure. But it's so long time since I...well, okay!" Im glad it's only one word, he thought. "This..." he pointed at the first of the letters. "...yeah, Im shure it's an R, and that one..." he pointed at the next. "...Im not shure, but I think it's an O. And that one..." Now, he pointed at the last one. "Thats an E, but I dont know that one...Hey, it's rose!"

"You shure?"

"Yeah, Im shure! But...?" He looked around at the mirror. "There is no roses here!" He stood in silence for a long time, stearing at that damned mirror! And then, he snapped his fingers, and walked over to the wall beside the mirror. At the wall, a small circle with a rose in the middle, had been carved in the stone-wall. He stroke his fingertips gently over it, and then pushed it, like it was a button. Max jumped to the side, as the mirror opened, like a door. A secret door.

"Can I marry your brain?" Max asked

"Kai smirked, and opened the mirror a bit wider, so he could see what was inside it. It was all dark, but he could see that a corridor leaded into the darkness inside.

Kai swallowed, and walked inside, Max following behind him. Then, the mirror closed behind them, and everything went black.

Oh my gosh! Will they ever find Tyson? And what about Ray? After all, he was left alone with him! Please, please Review!!!

And Max is saying "Can I marry your brain?" That sentence is taken from the movie National Treasure. I just loooove it!!!
