I AM SO SORRY FOR BEING THIS LATE. School got the best of me and I got swamped with homework. Here's the next chapter! (And I'll post the one after this too! :D)

Tala helped me up and we looked towards the door. It was slammed open, and there was Boris. His face was emotionless.

"Come with me boys. You have a minute to grab your things." He smirked at that. And we both knew why. We could only stand there, all we had were the clothes on our bodies and our friendship.

"Oh, that's right. You don't have anything but each other." He sniveled. Boris sharply turned away, and we knew we had to follow. Tala helped me to get going, bit I soon shoved him off. He got the message just in time, as Boris turned around the next moment. He narrowed his eyes but didn't say anything

We were led through the Trough as we called it. It was the main eating area, where all the hungry little pigs gathered to be fed the scraps. Tala and I hated it. We were never allowed to see any other bladers during meals. Hopefully that would all change soon.

Boris stopped in front of us, quickly turning towards us. " This." he paused, " will be where you will be staying. Now get in." He growled.

We ran in past the door and looked around. There were three beds, that meant..." Tala, we're going to have a roommate!" I exclaimed. We were beyond happy, that was, until we heard Boris's rough voice again. The was a loud shout and the sound of a fist hitting flesh, and then," You!". Then there was the gunshot, and the sound of a body hitting the floor, no scream, just a thud.

Our door was flung open, and thrust inside was our new roommate. None other than the girl we saw in the woods.

We went to go get her onto the bed, when cold, dark eyes opened suddenly. We stepped back.

"Are.. Are you okay?" Tala asked quietly.

The girl slowly struggled to her knees. I ran to help her, trying to grab her arm, but she yanked away. "No Sherlock, I'm great. Just leave me alone, I'll be fine." She spoke in a rough voice. By now she had struggled to her feet. Managing to get up fully she leaned heavily on the wall. We could see the blood running from her wounds, she tried to walk towards the bed in the corner. As soon as she took one step, she collapsed onto one knee, clutching her left arm, it was the one drenched in the most blood.

"Shi... Crap!". She said. The girl rummaged around in her pockets and puled a strip of bandages. She started to wrap her arm, only pausing to check and make sure that there weren't any bullets still stuck in her body.

After five minutes there was another knock on the door. This one much softer. The girl looked up, but continued to bandage her arm.

We opened up the door. Standing there was a tall girl, she looked to be over 6 feet.

"Hi." She said."I heard the gunshots and I wanted to help who ever got shot." In her hands was a large roll of bandages. "My name is Icedra Dickinson. May I see who got shot?"

"I'm Kai Hiwatari," I said. Suddenly the girl in our room fully collapsed. Icedra ran to help her along with Tala and myself. The girl was shivering, she whispered, "Grandfather?" That was it. Her pupils were dilated, she grabbed the front of my shirt. Eyes wide she demanded me tell her, "Tell me, who is your grandfather."

"Wh..Wha..what. Do you mean?" I asked.

"Is your grandfather Voltaire Hiwatari." she demanded more than asked.

I was stunned. She just asked me if Voltaire Hiwatari was my grandfather.

"Ho.. How... How did you know?" I managed to stutter out.

Instead of answering me she pulls me into a hug, muttering," I'm sorry, Kai. I really am."

I pushed her away, "Who are you, and how do you know me?"

She looked at me, the confusion written plainly on her face.

"You mean you don't remember mean you don't remember me?" She questioned.

"I'm Skyliner Walker, Kai, I'm your sister."
