Rei slowly regained his senses,openeing his eyes.Where was he?This was not the dark basement he had expected to see,but a bright room with lots of nice furniture and stuff.His heart was beating rappidly in his chest,his breathing harsh.He could smell the scent of a human very close.His stomach growled in response.Looking up he saw that the windows luckily were covered by the curtains.He sighed in relief and rubbed his eyes.Who had brought him here?
He needed to get away so he wouldnt hurt anyone again.He couldnt stand the smell of human blood,the heartbeat that was pounding in his head.The demon started to struggle to get free again,but he was weak as it was still daylight outside.It was always easier to keep him under control during the day,or when he slept.
Standing up he was about to sneak out of this nice place when he heard a voice:Where do you think you are going?"
He turned around,panick welling up in his chest at the sight of a young man.There was something familiar about him..Something....Then he remembered.This man had approached to him in the basement.
"Go away..I need to get out",he blurted out,feeling the urge to suck this human dry grow in his stomach.
"You are not going anywhere until you tell me a couple of things".He heard the boy`s stomach growl and smiled.
"You must be hungry.Wait here,ok?"The man walked back into the kitchen again.He was confused,a million thoughts racing through his mind at once.Where was he?And who was this tranger?Why was he so nice?He made another attempt to get out,but found that the door was locked.The young man returned and cast him a warning glare when he saw what the he was doing.
"Dont try to get away,I wont let you leave",he said sternly and placed the food on the table.
"You dont understand!I have to get out,have to get away from everyone!"he shouted,his hands balled up in fists.
"Sit down and eat",the man ordered.He gave in and sat down on the couch,casting a glance at the food before he dug in,stuffing his face at incredible speed.Kai chuckled.
"That`s better now...What is your name,kid?"he asked.The boy gulped down a glass of water and wiped his mouth.
"Rei...",he replied before he started eating again."So Rei..what were you doing in that basement?"
The boy froze and started shaking.What should he answer?This guy wouldnt believe him if he said that he was a vampire.And besides,normal humans feared vampires,he didnt want to scare this guy off.
"Who are you?"he asked,hoping to get the guy off track.He blinked.
"I am Kai.Are you a runaway,Rei?"Rei shruged.
"Sort of...I cant tell you,it is complicated",he replied and gulped down another glass of water.Kai reached out a hand to touch him,and he flinched,whimpering as he got out of reach.
"Dont touch me!"he shouted and hid himself behind the couch.Kai frowned at the strange reaction,but withdrew his hand.
"Ok,I wont touch you.You can come back out now".Rei popped his head out and slowly sat back down,all the time watching Kai.
"It has got nothing to do with you...I-I...You just dont know what you are getting yourself into",he whispered,his eyes sparkling with tears.
"Tell me then,I would like to help",Kai said.Rei shook his head and curled up in a ball,holding one of Kai`s pillows tight to his chest.
"I cant tell you..You would just think I am crazy..."he replied,letting the tears fall.Kai couldnt help but pity this boy.He had appearenlty lost everything.
"Well,you should clean up.You can borrow some of my friend`s clothes,mine are probably too big for you",Kai said and stood up.He left Rei for a moment and came back with towels and some clothes minutes later."Here..The bathroom is on the left",he said and pointed.Rei took the stuff and nodded,feeling ashamed.
He undressed and piled his clothes neatly on the floor.Turning on the water he entered the shower and let the hot water soak him.He let out a satisfied sigh.It had been ages since he had taken a hot shower like this.It felt so nice just to stand there and let the water wash of all the dirt.
Tears started gathering in his eyes,but he didnt care to hold them back right now.
And so they fell and blended with the steaming water around his feet.He had to get away,he couldt stay with this nice guy.Rei didnt want to hurt him like he had done to everyone else.Kai just didnt know what he was getting himself into by helping him.He was a ticking bomb that could go off anytime.
"So,you think you can keep him safe from me?"His own voice sounded evil as the demon spoke.
"Yes,I will save him.I wont let him down,as I have done to everyone",Rei replied.The demon laughed,his voice mocking as it taunted him.
"Then you are just a fool,Rei.You cant keep me away from him,you know that very well.You will loose the fight again.And when you do,it is hasta la vista for this guy!"He slammed his fist into the wall in frustration,his shoulders shaking.
"I wont let him down!"he snarled.The demon laughed at him again.
Kai raised his head and looked in the direction of the bathroom.Had he just heard the boy talk to himself?He thought so...But why would Rei be talking to himself?Maybe he was out of his mind after all.He resumed to his cooking.That poor boy needed someone to take care of him.Kai needed to question him though.Rei had managed to avoid his questions earlier,he had noticed how the boy had switched the subject when he asked him what he had been doing in the basement.This time he wouldnt let him get away.He raised his head again as Rei entered the kitchen,a shameful look on his face.His cheeks were flushed,his breathing heavy.
"Are you ok?"The boy nodded and sat down by the table,as far away from him as possible,his eyes directed at his own hands,as if he was afraid to look him in the eyes...Kai put the food on plates and sat down on the opposite side of the table so he wouldnt scare the kid off.He handed Rei his plate.He took it after hesitating for a moment.
"So Rei..How old are you?"
Kai was surprised when he said that he was seventeen.He sure did look like he was Brooklyn`s age,maybe even younger.But Kai supposed the long hair,innocent look and shy behaviour made him seem younger than he was.When Kai came to think of it,Rei was really pretty.His skin was so pale and white,smooth like silk.His eyes were golden and cat-like,not like any eyes Kai had ever seen before.They looked so innocent,so ashamed and full of fear that it astonished him.His hair was the colour of raven,so dark and long.He wondered how it would feel to touch that hair.Shaking his head slightly he tried to get these thoughts out of his head.He shouldnt be thinking like this,it was not right.Even if Kai was gay,it was not right to think of the boy like that.He didnt even know him!
"Where do you come from,Rei?"he asked.The boy didnt raise his head as he was talking,just kept staring at his plate.
"I was born here in this town,I have always lived here".Kai took a deep breath.
"Tell me what you were doing in that basement",he said,more as a demand than a question.Rei bit his lip and looked up at him,his eyes wide and fearfull.
"I..I..Um,you would just think I am crazy..",he muttered.Kai noticed that his hands were shaking.
"I wont,believe me..I have heard many strange things during my life...I am sure yours would be no different".Rei bit his lip harder,almost making blood trickle.
"I...c..c..cant tell you!"he whispered,his voice thick with emotions.A single tears fell from his eye,hitting the table.Kai reached out his hand to touch the boy,but he flinched and leapt off his chair,dropping to his knees.
"You will hate me if I tell you!"he shouted,hugging his knees.Kai sat down beside him.Maybe it wasnt very wise to push him after all...
"I wont hate you..."he assured him.Rei sobbed into his arms,rocking to and fro,just like he had done in the basement earlier.Kai hesitantly reached out his hand and touched the boy`s arm.Rei flinched and backed away from his,his eyes all wide and teary.
"DONT TOUCH ME!!"he screamed.Kai stood up and left the kitchen.
