TGAMM KAI CHP 10

Kai was currently flying through the hallways of the mirror version of the school as a flock of ravens, he was in a panic as he did expect things to go bad so quickly, this made his hearts pound in fear and anger, fear that the ghost would find Molly before he could get out and anger that he was jumped so easily, however all Kai could do is run and search for a way out," Dammit, I let that ghost slip pasted me, now I'm stuck here", he said angrily, still searching for an exit out of this twisted version of the school , as Kai looked around, all he could see was pink webbing and mould cover the place, eventually Kai stopped and reformed himself, realising he wasn't getting anywhere.

"Alright, I just got to think", he said through his heavy breathing, he took a moment to recollect his thoughts and assess the situation at hand, "Ok, Rapture hasn't called out to me yet, so Molly is safe for now, meaning I got some time to figure a way out", Kai said to himself as he calmed himself in order to focus properly," Let's see, that ghost dragged me here through the mirror in the bathroom,maybe if I do the same I might be able to get out some way or contact Darryl or Scratch", Kai said as he quickly disappeared into a flock of ravens in order to find a mirror, on the way he thought of Molly and only hoped he was quick enough.

In the Brighton School cafeteria, Molly sat down with Libby as she just finished explaining to her about her current situation, " So let me get straight, this guy named Kai came here to this world on the orders of a bird goddess to protect you from evil ghost that want your soul", Libby said still processing what was told to her, " Yep, that the gist of it, " Molly said as she started to eat her lunch , ripping off a piece to give to Rapture, still inside her bag, " Whoa, that sounds just like one of my fantasy books, minus the actual threat of being hunted by ghosts", Libby said nervously adding the part about ghost hunting Molly at the last second, making Molly chuckle a bit.

" So where is Kai right now ?", Libby asked, " Well he said he was gonna scout the area out first but that was this morning", Molly said with concern as she went to grab her backpack, opening it to show Libby the little raven that sat inside ," Little Rapture here is supposed to alert him if anything wrong but so far nothing happened", she said as petted the bird within her backpack, Libby looked at Rapture with a raised eyebrow, " Maybe because Rapture hasn't alerted him, he thinks everything ok", Libby said making Molly nod in agreement, " Yeah, maybe your right Libby, heck maybe he already found the ghost already and knowing how he deals with them I'm sure he on his way here", Molly said, her usual optimistic self-showing making Libby smile.

"So, what's he like?", Libby asked her, Molly smiled with excitement, Libby could see it radiating off of her like a light bulb luminating in a dark room, "Oh Libby, you total should meet him, he's all cool and grim looking, like some dude out of an anime with the whole, I work alone thing going on but I can tell that he really just wants a friend", Molly said with joy, making Libby smile in response, "Well, I hope I get the chance to meet him", she said.

Meanwhile a few tables away, Agatha was staring down Molly from beneath her bang covered eyes, like a predator stalking prey, she waited for her time to strike, silently she contemplated how she was going to take her soul, she was tempted to rush at her now, with no concern for anyone else, ripping her soul out there and then for all to see but she knew that Kai was still in the mirror world, so she decided to bid her time, wait for Molly to be alone, take her soul and leave, rendering her lifeless and none would notice, it would be a fleeting moment in their lives and so that what she did as the bell rang signalling the end of lunch, she got up and carried on with her stalking, cause to her she had all the time she needed, as smiled to herself the while.

In the halls of the school, a grumpy blue ghost roamed, Scratch wasn't too fond of Kai, he thought his attitude and approach towards Molly's situation was cruel and careless along with his disdain for those of the undead variety yet here he was looking for him under Molly's request.

"Ugh, where is this bird boy? ,I could be doing so much other stuff right now"', Scratch said aloud, " I could be taking nap, eating some food or some other more important third thing then be searching for some bird god servant", he said as he checked multiple rooms in his invisible ghost state, eventually Scratch entered one of the school bathroom, he looked around for any sign of Kai but ultimately found nothing and was ready to call it quits, " Whelp, I've been searching for awhile and I can't find him and anywhere, I knew that kid and his bird goddess was full of baloney", Scratch said as he went to leave, " What did I say about holding your tongue, fledging", a voice spoke, causing Scratch to turn towards it, leading him to face the mirror, suddenly Kai appeared in the mirror, shocking Scratch completely.

" Kai, what are you..", Scratch said before he quickly turned around to see if Kai was behind him and unfortunately he wasn't, " Hey, is this part of your scouting thing because I'll admit it might be effective but it also creepy to watch people through the bathroom mirrors ", Scratch said, making Kai annoyed by his words, " No you repugnant piece of ectoplasm, I got trapped here by a ghost that hunting Molly", Kai said with urgency in his voice, Scratch's eyes widen, the news of a ghost gunning for Molly shocked him, " Another ghost!, I thought it was your job to stop them from doing that", Scratch said panicked and frustrated by Kai current position and Molly's endangerment, " I don't need you to tell me how to do my job ghost", Kai said with annoyance as he tried to figure a way out of the mirror world, tapping and searching around the bathroom mirror on his side, " Oh I think I do, especially when there's killer ghost out there and your practicing your miming skills on the wrong side of the mirror!", Scratch yelled at Kai making him lose focus on finding a way out.

" Will you shut up, I'm trying to focus ghost, besides why would a thing like you care about for Molly anyway, outside of free meal?", Kai said as he paused his searching only to see a very angry Scratch, " Now listen here you bumbling bird brain buffoon, your right I do care about food but I care about Molly a hell a lot more, she one of the best things to happen to me and not going to let you or that flying rodent goddess of yours ruin it!", Scratch said with a fiery vigour, if it weren't for the mirror separating them Kai could feel the emotions radiating off of Scratch however this only made Kai retaliate with just as must anger, " How dare you insult my goddess, if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be wasting my time here", he said as he hit the mirror in anger, " I mean could a pathetic ghost like you even understand her importance?", Kai said as he scowled at Scratch, " No, I don't , just like you don't understand Molly importance, not just to me but her family, friends", Scratch said, Kai was about to say something however upon hearing Scratch's words he remembered what the Raven Queen said about understanding people, this made Kai pause and rethink his situation, ultimately realising Molly was important but for different reasons.

Kai sighed and let his hands drop by his side, " Your right", he said with a calmer tone, " Darn right I am...wait what?", Scratch said taken back by Kai response, " I don't understand, I was sent here to protect Molly on the Raven Queen orders, I treated this like a normal task, not giving much thought to it", he said as put one hand on the mirror," I'm...sorry Scratch, I didn't truly understand her importance in your lives but it not too late to try", he continued, putting both hands on the mirror now, " Help me find her, help me protect Molly", Kai pleaded.

Scratch was at a loss for words, genuinely taken back by Kai's words, he pondered for a bit about whether to book it to find Molly by himself or put his faith in Kai. After a moment of mentally debate he decided to put his trust in Kai, " Alright, I'll trust you but I'm doing this for Molly, okay", Scratch said, Kai nodded in response, glad that Scratch was willing to help him, " So what do we do", the ghost said as he folded his arms, " Well it seems like I can't leave this place on my own, can you try pulling me out?", Kai asked, Scratch nodded as he slowly pressed his hand on the mirror making it ripple, Kai smiled at this and grabbed Scratch's hand however it immediately faded as when Scratch pulled only his hand travelled through, leaving Kai on the other side, " Darn it only ghosts can go through it normally, now what do we do?", Scratch exclaimed in frustration however as Kai looked at his hand he came up with an idea as he clench his hand into a fist," I have a idea", Kai said as he told him the plan.

Meanwhile Molly was in the hallways on her way to her locker, as she went, she felt the air around her get cold and musty, along with the feeling her skin crawling causing her to quicken her walking, she reached her locker and gathered her things however as soon as the shut her locker she was meet with the smiling grin of Agatha, Molly jumped back with surprise, almost dropping her stuff. She stared at Agatha who grin become more twisted the longer she stared, "Hello, Molly McGee, I believe it time that we got a bit more ... acquitted with each other, would you agree ", Agatha said, her smile piercing Molly's thoughts as they stood in the hallways awaiting each other's next actions.
