Keiths' P.O.V
Darkness, it surrounded me, I couldn't even see my hands in front of my face, what was I supposed to do?
"You will die," an eerie voice whispered in my ear, I gulped. I never felt anything since that night, but that was the voice from that night.
"Daddy," a younger me called as I ran to my father, the man smiled at me as he lifted me into his arms, placing a kiss on my cheek. Yes the person I am talking is my father, the mob boss who threw Remi into a pit of rampaging pokemon.
"Hi honey," my mother smiled as she kissed his cheek, we were happy, a family, I thought nothing would ever change that, but I was wrong.
"YOU BITCH!" the scene changed, my father was angry, his eyes were red as he looked at her.
"H-honey I didn't do anything I swear," my mother cowered as she looked at the monster that was my father; this was when he changed, when I changed, when everything changed.
"YOU'RE A WHORE!" he yelled again as the knife connected with her neck, the younger me had walked in on the scene, I gasped.
"Daddy," I muttered as I looked at him, my father turned to me.
"You're next," he growled as he launched himself at me, but for some reason, he couldn't touch me. My closed eyes opened to see a barrier in front of me, I gasped as my father was thrown back against the wall. I ran, I ran from the room and out the house, I needed to get away, that's when I heard of the Ranger school. I began saving money and everything, but my father found me, only his eyes weren't red any more, they were normal, but he had changed.
I looked around the darkness again; red eyes pierced my own as I turned. I gasped, standing silently as I tried to look away, but couldn't, I was…entranced by them, only I didn't know why. I blinked, the eyes were gone, I looked around, what the fuck was going on?
The space around me was trying to allow light to enter it, but couldn't. What was this? The light it hurt, not my eyes, I mean it hurt my body, just to look at it, what would it feel like if I was stood in it?
"The truth," a voice said, it wasn't eerie, it was calm, soft, it sounded like Kate, "Will be revealed in time," it said again, "You are not the only one in you group who holds a secret," it added, I thought for a second, the secret, I knew what it was, but I didn't want anyone else to find out, especially my friends, hell I didn't even want Kate to find out.
Normal P.O.V
The door to the infirmary opened, Kellyn, Seren, Rythmi and Isaac stepped in, each one rushed to Keiths' side.
"What happened?" Seren asked, Kate glared at her, something in the room was giving off evil energy, Kates' instincts told her something was wrong.
"If I knew that, I wouldn't be sat here," she growled, all four teens flinched at her tone, even Kate flinched at it.
"Something wrong?" Rythmi asked, Kate sighed.
"Something's giving off evil energy in the school, it's giving me a headache and putting me in a bad mood," she muttered as she slumped in the chair next to Keiths' bed.
"How do you know that?" Kellyn asked, Kate flinched, this time because of how she knew; it was her powers that were telling her.
"Never mind," she answered as she stood before walking out the room.
"The truth will be revealed in time," a voice said, the four teens looked around, the voice sounded like Kates' but at the same time it didn't, "You are not the only one in your group who holds a secret," it added, the group looked at each other, just then Keith shot up in his bed, clutching his head.
"AH!" he yelled as he fought down an all too familiar feeling.
"KEITH!" Seren yelled, Kellyn held her back, everyone knew what was going to happen, but they had never seen him this bad.
A moment of silence passed before Keith stood up, he was stable, not shaking or anything. He looked at his friends, then smiled a little before looking around.
"How'd I wind up here?" he asked, Rythmi looked at him, as she was about to speak Janice walked in.
"Oh Keith, you should be resting," she ordered, Keith shook his head.
"Nah, I'm good," he smiled at her, then remembered the figure outside the school, "Where's Kate?" he asked, his voice was full of more worry than he would have liked. Rythmi and Seren raised an eye brow at him, while Kellyn and Isaac smirked.
"She left about a minute before you woke up," Rythmi answered, at that, Keith ran out the door.
Keith searched the building from top to bottom, nothing, no sign of Kate. He sighed as he stepped outside, where had she gone? He walked around the grounds, checked the training house where Kaplan and Clair were, still no sound of her.
Walking down the steps to Ascension Square the boy saw her looking out to sea. He sighed a little, at least she was safe. Or so he thought, he flinched as he saw the figure behind the Pledge Stone, he quickly ran to Kate, who turned at hearing the sound of footsteps.
"Shouldn't you be resting?" she asked, Keith took in a breath of air before dragging her to her feet, "What are you doing?" she asked, he looked at her, Kate almost flinched at what she saw. Anger, hatred, disgust, worry, all mixed in as one.
"No time to explain, come with me," he ordered, he dragged her from the Square and to the school, the figure didn't follow, instead, it smirked.
Keith knew the figure, it had possessed his father and murdered his mother, but that didn't change the fact that his father was still conscious and able to fend the thing off out of him.
The figure that was looking at the two Rangers-to-be was in fact a deadly Darkrai, not like any other Darkrai. This one had a thirst for blood, lived off of the fear and blood of others, and it had found its next target. Things in Almia weren't going to go so smoothly for our two Rangers-to-be.
"KEITH STOP!" Kate yelled as she yanked her hand away, Keith looked at her in anger.
"No," he answered as he grabbed her wrist again, he struggled out of it, "Kate, trust me," he ordered, Kate ragged her hand out of his grip again, but this time managed to fall backwards. Keiths' eyes went wide as he grabbed her hand, only to end up going down with her.
Keith glared at her from his position on top of her, his eyes flashed with anger for a moment before he calmed down. Kate looked at him in shock; this was like the time in his room in Summerland.
"Keith," Kate whispered, Keith glared at her.
"You're mad," he growled at her, sure he was calm, but he was also pissed off, Kate growled.
"I'M mad?" she asked, Keith nodded once, Kate growled again before pushing him off of her, she didn't expect him to go flying across the yard though, "YOU'RE the one who DRAGGED me away from the Square," Kate seethed, Keith held his right shoulder in pain as he took in a sharp breath. He couldn't tell her about the Darkrai, he just couldn't.
"Sorry," he muttered as he stood, still holding his shoulder in pain, something was definitely wrong with Kate. The girl looked at him, before blinking once, she took in what she had just done, the anger she felt before left her, the evil energy that she felt also gone.
"Keith," she muttered as she ran up to him, Keith looked at her, "I'm sorry," she added as she looked at his arm, Keith only smiled at her, before hissing a little in the pain that shot through his arm. Kate frowned as she walked Keith back to the infirmary, he shouldn't have even been out of it.
From the skies the Darkrai watched in amusement, he had found them, the two keys to everything that would happen.
"You both hold the secrets, don't think you'll live long enough to see the world though," he smirked before disappearing into thin air.
