Hey everybody, sorry this chapter came out a little late, I've been having some major school projects so I wasn't able to update. But I'm back now with this new chapter that might shock my fellow readers at the end ;)

Jade: It's okay, I don't mind :) And you'll see what I have planned for Alice during this chapter ;) Don't worry about your ideas being vulgar, I get most of my ideas from Creature Features songs (I love their songs because they're so creepy)

Lya200: I noticed that too, and you'll see whether it works or not in this story ;) And I'll be sure to check out her stories once I get the chance :)

Suggestor: I'll add them in the next chapter (Because this chapter is told completely from Kai's perspective)

Chapter 12

Igniting the flame

(Kai's pov)

Alice and I have been in here for who knows how long, looking for a way to escape, we've tried everything. This room doesn't have any windows, so we can't escape that way, we tried tearing through the floor, but it's made out of solid rock. Alice already tried using the door, but it's locked, so theirs basically no way out of here. We basically kept thinking about what we're supposed to do if Zuko comes back, but I just can't think of anything!

Your resisting a lot better than I thought you would Kai.

I told you before, you're just a voice in my head, you can't tell me what to do.

You keep telling yourself Kai, but we'll see who's really in control once the transformation is complete.

Wait a minute, what did he mean by that? Isn't the transformation already complete since I'm basically what Zuko is? Or is this just a trick? I kept thinking about this, until Alice finally snapped me out of my trance.

"Kai? What are we supposed to do? We can't find a way out and he might come back at any second.", Alice said, sounding worried.

What am I supposed to do? I can't just try to run away again, that just made things worse last time. We've already tried finding a way out, and I don't think even Sensei could get out of here. Theirs only one thing I can do, it's risky, but I have to try for both our sakes.

"I know Alice, if we just sit here and do nothing, Zuko might kill both of us.", I stated.

I then looked her straight in the eyes, "I know how to get us out of here, when Zuko comes through that door I'll jump him."

Even though I said that, I knew I didn't just want to attack Zuko, I wanted to make him feel the same pain I was going through right now! After he tried to make me hurt my family, after he tried to make me think they didn't appreciate me, after all the times he hurt us! I didn't just want to kill Zuko, I wanted to make him suffer.

I gritted my teeth and added, "No, I'll kill him!"

Alice gasped and protested, "Kai, you can't try to attack Zuko, he might kill you!"

"I don't care, I want to make him pay for what he did to me.", I said coldly while turning away.

"But Kai-"

I snapped my head towards her, "DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT ZUKO'S PUT ME THROUGH!? JUST LOOK AT ME ALICE, HE'S THE ONE THAT TURNED ME INTO THIS, HE'S THE ONE THAT CAUSED MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY PAIN, AND I WANT HIM TO PAY! HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENED TO YOU!?"

Alice just stared at me for a long time until she finally spoke up, "Actually Kai, I do know what it's like to see a family member suffer."

What?

"You see, I used to have a little sister named Lana, she was only a few years younger than me. We always did everything together, we always supported each other and were never angry at each other for long. I always thought nothing would stand in our way.

But then, a few months after her October Lana started having trouble breathing, and she was also coughing up blood. My family and I tried everything to make her better, but nothing helped, we had no choice but to take her to a doctor. The very next day the doctor came up with the results, and it turned out that Lana had stage three lung cancer.

As you know, theirs no cure, all we could do was help her make it through this. After a month, Lana started getting weaker and weaker, she eventually had to be bed ridden. I felt so helpless, watching my sister go through so much pain. One night, when I was sitting by her bed, I accidentally fell asleep. When I woke up I saw that Lana wasn't breathing and she was pale, I immediately panicked and called my parents.

After my parents ran in and saw her pale looking face, they immediately called an ambulance. Lana was rushed to the hospital, but it was already too late, she was dead.", Alice explained to me with tears in her eyes.

I was completely shocked at what Alice just told me, I had no idea she went through something like that.

I felt like apologizing, but that's when she started sobbing, "After Lana died, I didn't know what to do, I felt like my life was over! I was her big sister! I wasn't supposed to let this happen!"

Aw man, I really messed up. I didn't mean to make Alice feel so bad, I was just angry.

"Alice, I'm really sorry about what happened to your sister. I was being selfish, I should have thought about what I said before I snapped at you.", I apologized with sympathy.

Alice just looked at me with tears still streaming down her face and said, "It's okay, I know you didn't mean it Kai. I just miss my sister so much."

I wrapped my arm around her in comfort and said, "I know how it feels when you don't want anything to happen to your sibling, I have a little sister too. Ever since she was born I've wanted to do nothing but protect her, and if anything happened to her I don't know what I'd do. So I know you feel."

Alice just hugged me firmly and said, "Thank you."

We stayed this way for a few more minutes, I thought things were finally looking up, but I should have known what was about to happen next.

This is your chance Kai, kill her now.

NO! I told you I'm not killing anyone, leave me alone!

You heard what Alice said Kai, she's miserable without her sister, Lana. She doesn't even want to live.

No, your wrong! I wont let you trick me!

Alice is unhappy without her sister Kai, and you know it! She said so herself!

Well, Alice did say she missed her sister.

See? All you have to do is kill Alice, and her suffering will go away.

I started thinking about what Alice told me, she missed her sister, and the only way for them to be together is if Alice dies. I suddenly felt my claws start to dig into her skin.

Realizing what I was about to do, I jumped off Alice, shouting, "NO!"

Alice was shocked at my sudden outburst, "Kai? Is everything okay?"

She's starting to get suspicious, kill her!

"No, I wont do it!"

"Kai?", Alice asked while walking towards me.

Kill her, do it now! NOW!

I started backing up, frantically screaming, "No! Stay away from me!"

"Kai, it's okay. Just calm down.", she assured me, trying to stay calm.

Take out your claws, DO IT!.

I tried keeping my claws in, but for some reason I couldn't resist.

Now strike her!

"Kai please, I can help y-"

Everything that happened after that was a blur, my body reacted before I was able to think about what I was doing, Alice kept getting closer, I let out a cry and slashed her across the face. I saw a mixture of shock and surprise cross Alice's face.

"K-Kai, what?", She asked, sounding betrayed.

I didn't give her time to answer, I just kept slashing, and slashing, and slashing, and slashing again and again. Blood was flying everywhere, it even splattered into my eyes, all I could see was red.

OMG, Kai attacked Alice! D: But will Kai be able to snap out of it and save her? You'll just have to wait and see until next time ;)
