Chapter 6

Kai?

(Zane's pov)

Jay, Cole, and I were currently in our bedroom trying to clean up the mess that Kai had made earlier. Jay and Nya were trying to repair the torn bedsheets, Cole was bringing in the spare mattresses that we kept in case of emergencies, and I was cleaning up the stuffing on the floor.

Cole had told us what happened earlier, he said how Kai attacked him and that Kai said he was looking for something. It was rather strange, why would Kai start tearing up the entire room like this just to find an item that he had probably misplaced? And why would he attack Cole abruptly like that? Cole did say his eyes were glowing red. It is clear that this was not normal, but what could possibly be the answer?

Their were so many questions, but with very few answers. I knew the only way to find out was to ask Kai, but he is just as clueless. What else is there that we can do?

"So, what do you guys think is wrong with Kai?", Cole asked, placing one of the mattresses on the bed frames.

"I am not sure, but his behavior was quite strange.", I stated.

"Maybe it has something to do with why Kai was unconscious.", Jay ventured.

"I don't know, that might be it, but if someone did something to Kai they would have left a mark or something.", Cole explained, confused.

"Whatever it is, we must remain vigilant. There is a good chance that Kai might lash out at any moment.", I warned them.

"But if Kai does know what's going on, then why wont he tell us?", Nya asked, concerned.

"I don't know, but should just be careful until we know what's wrong with Kai.", Cole informed us.

I know that Cole is right when he says we should be cautious, but I also know that if we keep our distance from Kai we might never be able to find the source of this problem. Kai is the only one who might have the answers to what happened in the forest, and the only way to find out is to help Kai regain his memories from this morning. My thoughts were suddenly interrupted when Kai suddenly entered the room.

He had a rather nervous and worried look on his face, almost as if Kai knew something terrible would happen.

"Kai, are you okay?", Nya asked, concerned.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just wanted to tell you guys something.", Kai confessed.

I raised my eyebrows in interest. I knew it must be important if Kai looks so concerned, maybe a memory from this morning has resurfaced. If that is the case, then I am curious to know why Kai is so concerned.

"Yes Kai, what is it?", I asked, curious.

(Kai's pov)

I knew this was it, no turning back now. It took me a while to come up with a way to tell them what happened, and I finally came up with something. All that's left to do now is tell them. I opened my mouth to speak, but that's when I felt my body start to tingle.

It wasn't really bad at first, but soon I started trembling violently. I tried to move, but my body wouldn't listen to me. I started sweating and feeling dizzy, my vision started blurring. I started breathing heavily and panicking, what's happening to me!? Why can't I control my body!? I started feeling faint, and that's when I collapsed on the floor.

Then the others surrounded me with worried looks on their faces.

"Kai, are you okay!?", Nya asked me frantically.

I tried to speak, but for some reason my throat felt swollen, so I couldn't say anything. Jay was holding his head in his hands with a panicked look on his face, Cole was trying keep everyone calm, Nya was holding my head in her lap with a worried look on her face, and Zane left to go get sensei.

I just laid there, trying to keep myself from fainting, when I suddenly felt something inside me go off. It was almost like a jolt of electricity, after that I started to slowly get up. Everyone looked pretty shocked to see this, but after that I started feeling...nothing. As if all the emotions I felt were suddenly gone, all I felt was rage and causing pain to anyone who stood in my way.

Your friends never gave you any respect anyway, so why should you even put up with them? They never did anything for you.

No, I'd never try to hurt my friends!

But Jay was the one that brutally beat you out of false accusation.

Where is that voice coming from? Inside my head? Either way I'll never try to hurt any of my friends, no matter what they did to me.

If you don't, then I'm afraid I'll have to use force Kai.

Before I could even wrap my head around what it meant, I suddenly felt my body being controlled by an unknown force. I suddenly lunged at Jay and slammed him up against the wall, he looked really scared, it actually looked...pretty funny. Jay always was a wimp, so it's actually pretty entertaining to see him squirm.

I felt a smile creep across my face as I finally spoke, "So Jay, how does it feel to have yourself at the mercy of one of your friends?"

Jay just looked at me in both shock and fear.

"Well, now I'm going to do the same to you. Just to experience the physical and emotional pain that you brought to me!", I shouted with pure hatred.

After that I started repeatedly beating Jay in the face with my bare hands. That's when Cole and Nya got over their shock and rushed over to help Jay. I felt Cole grab me and try to pull me off Jay, I just smirked, grabbed Cole by the arm, and flung against the ladder on one of the bunk beds, causing the bed to fall on it's side. Cole was lying on the floor, completely stunned.

I chuckled and said, "Now you know how it feels to be weak."

That's when I felt Nya try to backhand me while my guard was down, but I quickly stepped on her foot, causing Nya to loosen her grip. After that I grabbed Nya and made her face me.

I saw that Nya was trying her best to look strong, "Kai, please stop, this isn't like you at all."

After I saw her face, I suddenly felt something inside me weaken. Almost as if something was making it fade away, my rage wasn't there anymore, along with my sick impulses. I wanted to show Nya that I was okay, but that's when I suddenly heard screaming on the other side of the room.

I turned and saw that Zane, Lloyd, and Sensei were all standing there looking both shocked and scared. I suddenly started remembering what happened. No, that wasn't me, was it? I looked around and realized the horror of what I did. Jay was leaning against the wall, all bloody and bruised, Cole was lying on the floor next to the fallen bed frame, and Nya looked like she was about to cry.

"No, no no no no!"

I quickly pushed my way past everyone and made a beeline for the bathroom.

"Kai wait!", Nya tried to call me back, but I didn't listen.

I quickly rushed into the bathroom and shut the door. What have I done? I practically killed all of my friends, along with my sister. I checked on the symbol and saw that the quarter moon was glowing even brighter than last time, I can't control it anymore. If I try to fight it that voice will come back again, I don't know what I'm supposed to do! Feeling hopeless, I buried my face in my hands and started sobbing.

Poor Kai, you can't help but feel sorry for him :( What do you guys think will happen next? The only way to find out the truth is to find out in the next chapter ;)
