Chapter 12: The rain has moved on...

Kai Hiwatari stood on a hill, that was cowered with green grass, and looked up at the blue sky. The sun shined brightly and a couple of white birds flew over him. A warm breeze made the trees around him bend their branches to the ground. Kai saw all this through a white blur, like it was a dream. But he knew that it was real. He could feel the wind against his skin, and the ground under him. From far away, he could hear the sounds of a piano, playing, and a woice, singing a familiar song. The same song his mother had been singing for him, when he was a kid. Well-known, resounding notes, dancing through the air towards him.

"STOP THIS! NOW!

The hill, the sky and the music disappeared, and Kai stood in the empty hallway again. He fell to his knees, and cryed. "Just...stop..." he whispered. There was nothing left. His last hope had disappeared weeks ago. Not even Dranzer was here to help him. They had been here in more than three weeks now. The phones didn't work, and all the doors was bolted and locked. They had tried for hours to breake the entrance-door, but not even their blades could get it up. They barely talked to each other anymore, just made the time pass faster with sleeping. But they weren't safe, even in their sleep. Terrible things happened every day, it was a miracle that they were alive. Kai was glad that Kenny had managed to escape, before everything went this bad. Before Tyson was captured three weeks ago, he went to America to help Judy, Max's mother, with some experiments.

And the others had changed! Tyson didn't eat anything, and Max was depressed all the time. And Ray never spoke a word anymore. But some times, Kai was shure that he had seen him smiling, when he thought that no one saw him. A heavy silence had fell over the castle, and the snow had never stopped falling, like it wanted to bury them. Kai had often felt that this place was like a other world, separated from the world outside. But then, he had felt that this was a good world, filled with happyness and mysteries, but now, he could only feel darkness inside his heart. Darkness that wouldn't let go off him. And the past days, he had thought that he was about to get mad. He could see shadows on the walls. Shadows from persons that had walked in the hallways, long time ago. And voices from a past, Kai had thought never would come back. And sometimes, he had seen them, seen their faces in front of him.

He leaned his back against the wall, to weak to raise up. He leaned his head against his knees, and felt tears dripping down his cheeks. This reminded him too mutch of the Abbey. The pain, the lonelyness, the fear...it was like coming back!

Christmas was coming, but it was becoming the worst Christmas ever. No one had been counting the days, but Kai thought that today could be 18 th of December.

"Hey, Kai..." He looked up from his knees. Tyson stood in front of him, looking down at the floor. Kai tried to smile back, but failed. Tyson sat down beside him, looking depressed as allways.

"You know, nothing has happened these past days...maybe-"

"You dont really believe that."

"Well...no, I guess not..."

It was quier for a long time, the only thing that could be heard, was the beatings of their hearts. Tyson opened his mouth to speak several times, but close it again, after some secounds. "Kai?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you hear that?"

"You mean the piano?" Tyson nodded, slowly. "Yeah, I can hear it..."

"Do you know what it means?"

"It's Him. He wants us to follow the music..."

"But why? Why doesn't he just..."

"I dont know...he has made hallucinations in my head for days now."

"So, there is nothing we can do, at all? Damn! I wish that I just could...you know...teleport out of here!"

Kai laughed. "Yeah, me to! But unfortunately you're not Nightcrawler."

"Right now, I really wish that I was!" He smiled, and closed his eyes. Kai returned the smile, it looked like Tyson finally was calm. "You know, when I was younger, my parents said that in a battle between light and darkness, the light allways won."

Tyson looked at him. "They was right, Kai..."

"How can you know that? 'Couse, if you haven't noticed, we are still stuck in this place! And, we have no idea what to do to get out!"

"Well figure out something..."

"Argh, forget it! I guess the only way to get out of here...I mean...it can work you know!..."

"What can work?!"

"If I let him take me, and then-"

"WHAT!? No way!!!"

"But...What else can we do?!"

"Remain calm! And...stick together! We will get out of here, I know we will! Mr.Dickenson said that he would visit us after Christmas! We'll just have to wait! Okay?"

"I forgot that...sorry."

Tyson smiled. "And by the way, I really like Anya!"

"Ha! Yeah, what should we have done without her?..."

"I know this is a wery stupid question, but...aren't you happy now? Now, when you have seen her again?"

"Yeah, I am."

Long silence. "By the way, where are Blondie and Cat-guy?" Kai smiled of his own question.

"I think they are downstairs. And please dont tell me that you have given us nicknames!"

"Dont worry...Piggy!"

"NO! PLEASE DONT!!!!"

"Calm down, I wont!"

"Hehe... You know, Christmas Eve is coming, and...cant we celebrate like nothing of this is happening? Just a normal Christmas?"

Kai laughed silently. "Yeah, sure we can..."

Then, he raised up and walked away from the younger boy. He knew that it was dangerous, walking away like this, and leaving Tyson alone. But right now, he didn't care. He didn't notice where he walked. He just... Then he stopped, in the middle of a empty hallway. From far away, it sounded, he could hear the soud of a piano. At first, he shook his head, thinking that He made hallucinations in his head again. But there was no white blur in front of his eyes...

He followed the sound, and now, he could hear a voice singing the song, he remembered so well.

'The rain has moved on, and left a new day

Nothing seems to move,

everyhing is stillIt's just a perfect day'

He opened the black door in front of him, and walked slowly inside. A young, brown-haired woman sat in front of a piano, playing the melody she knew he loved. He smiled happily, and sang the next verse...

"The shadows and light
That move with the wind
Hidden violets grow splashed with summer spray
Just another perfect day"

She looked up at him. Now, Kai understood that it was light in this place after all. Not only darkness.

On the wild and misty hillside
Fear is nature's warning
Hunger here is never far away

And all of this world
Is for children who play
Days that never end
always should remain
Another perfect day

Tyson was right, it would all be okay. 'You have allways been a good singer, Kai.'

"Never as good as you were mom..."

'Hehe. Sweetheart, listen to me. There are many types of darkness in this world, but they all get one thing in common: they can all be defeated! And deep inside your heart, you know what to do! The answer has allways been there, right in front of your eyes.' She smiled brightly, and placed a warm hand on his shoulder. 'I miss you so mutch Kai. We all do...'

"I miss you too..."

'One day, we will meet again, Kai. One day...'

I know...really short chapter! But I have been too busy, sorry! Well, now they have been there in over three weeks! What the heck are they going to do?! And I promice you, Christmas Eve will be just chaotic!
