Kai Lane Chapter 10: Fear

Kai Lane

Kai and his friends hugged. Kai was afraid that something terrible would happen to them. He was afraid that the people of this new world would make his friends suffer. What if one day they were attacked like him? Would they be able to survive without powers?

The fear of this gripped his body. Goosebumps ran down his spine. And he woke up. He flinched. He pulled back. The feeling was filling his body once more. He felt his eyes change color.

Confused, Jack and Kevin realized why Kai had a look of fear on his face. They too took a few steps back. I doubt they wanted to see the consequences of that up close.

"Kai, your eyes!"

"I know! I know! But I can't stop it! Get back!"

A sharp energy surged through his body. Kevin and Jack backed away, but there was not much left to worry about. Kai calmed down. As he calmed down, the red eyes disappeared. The energy that had enveloped his body had left him.

"It was fear. "

No doubt Kai understood where this power came from.

"What did it feel like?"

Kai asked hurriedly, but it was Jack, deep in thought, who answered before Kai. Seeing Kai's recent transformation reminded him of something he had seen in the past.

"Like you drank 20 energy drinks?" Jack asked quickly. He had a curious, maybe more excited look on his face. Kai looked at Jack confused, not knowing how he understood.

"How did you know?" Jack's face was suddenly grim. His friends, not understanding what had happened, continued to watch Jack. Why had that excited expression just disappeared? It wasn't what he found when he looked at Kai that upset him, it was the flashbacks that made him uncomfortable.

"I had a bad argument with my father in the past. I remember similar things happened, but I thought it was all an illusion. I was too exhausted and unconscious. I didn't think such a thing was possible. I didn't think I could be so... alive."

Kai put his hand to his chin and began to think. He was angry when he beat Seth. It made Kai mad that he would try to hurt someone he loved. At the same time, he'd believed with all his heart that he'd fallen in love with Emma the first time he'd met her - ridiculous, but yes - and now he was scared out of his mind that he'd hurt his friends. His doubts seemed to be over. This power acted on emotion.

Kai told them about it. The friends gathered and headed to the school. They planned to find the answers there. They planned to find someone there.

As the young men boarded the bus, all 3 of them remained silent, but this silence was soon broken by Jack.

"There's one more thing I'm curious about. Why did that man want to catch you so badly? If it's for your power, I have it, but he didn't even show his face, let alone try to kill me."

Kai thought for a moment and then spoke his mind directly to them.

"You know, I've shown more than one emotion so far and more importantly I've fought with Seth, attracting too much attention."

"Okay Kai, let me ask you something, you're obviously more knowledgeable about this stuff than we are. What are the chances of me having one of these emotions?" Kai could only roll his eyes at Kevin's shining eyes full of excitement. He knew absolutely nothing about these things. He had as much knowledge as they had learned.

"Who do you really think I am? I'm learning the answers at the same time you are. I don't really know if you can have a feeling or not. We can find out the answer after we find Jace."

Kai and the others arrived at the school. Kai started looking around at the houses while Jack asked people around about Jace. Kai headed towards the back of the school. As they did so, they had one goal in mind,

Answers

Emma Foster

"Damn it! How did I miss the bus!? How was I supposed to know that the bus comes every 2 hours!" Emma was very angry. No one had told her that the school bus came every 2 hours. Now she had to wait.

'I hope my feelings don't come true like my dreams.

She hadn't expected the deep fear in her heart to come from the unknown.

Kai Lane

"Why might Emma look familiar? Uh, from where? From where? Wait a minute... Or...." It had been an hour since Kai had walked through the back alleys. His mind was on how he knew Emma. Of course, it hadn't occurred to him as he had seen her, but the more he thought about her, the more he was sure he knew her from somewhere.

And he did, just like Emma, he had seen her in a dream. The memories were clear. It wasn't like a dream. He remembered that face so clearly now.

'If it is Emma I dreamt about, then this dream phenomenon turns out to be an abnormal ability. And what is the emotion of this dream? 'I'm pretty sure I don't feel any emotion when I'm dreaming. Can I only find the answer by finding Jace?'

'Hmmm, what's this?'

A necklace lay on the floor. Kai lowered his head and looked at it curiously. He reached out and took it in his hand. He shouldn't have touched it when he saw something like this on the road, but now that they were looking for someone, every detail was precious and this necklace was unlike anything he had ever seen before.

"What a strange necklace.... " the necklace was divided into six thorns. It looked like a 6-pointed star.

Kai put it in his pocket. He could return it to its owner in the future. It looked like something valuable.

Kai wandered around for a while, but after an hour there were no clues. They weren't looking for footprints. Just evidence that he had passed through here, or better still, someone who might have seen him, but nothing. When he came back he saw that Jack and Kevin had the same sullen faces.

"Sorry Kai, but we've looked everywhere, I've asked everyone, but no one has ever seen or heard of anyone like this. Not in any of the abandoned or rented houses Kevin looked at, not even in the houses that were being sold. It's like there never was anyone like this."

Kai nodded, thinking. He was thinking about what they should do to find him, but there wasn't much to think about. Kevin and Jack had already come to a conclusion.

"We can't find him unless he wants us to. Let's give up. "Kevin said. That was the only conclusion. They were just 14-year-old little boys. It wouldn't be good for them to get involved in such big things.

Kevin turned around. Jack took his hand as Kai looked dumbfounded. He shook his head from side to side. Even though he had a sad look on his face, he too doubted they would find the answer on their own.

Jack tugged Kai and they started to walk back the way they had come, but the next moment Kai stopped. Jack turned his head and looked at the serious face. Kai was not moving. His face was dull and dark. Suddenly, on these hot days, a feeling that made Jack shiver ran through his body. Kevin stopped too. He broke out in a cold sweat as if someone had put a knife to his neck.

They looked at Kai. Those blue eyes changed in front of them. They turned red. Fear, anger, love, and now excitement. Inside the red eyes now a fourth yellow mark appeared.

Kai turned around. He turned his head around and looked around. Then he shouted.

"I don't care if you're here or not! If you don't come out now, the world will know the truth about people like me!"

"Will you still be able to keep hiding?"

"Haha, you're really scary, Kai."
