Chapter Seven
Zane grins as he walks into the game room. It's almost ten at night and Jay is passed out in his beanbag chair. Silently, Zane walks over to him and grabs the controller, before he saves the game and powers down the PS3 system.A Soft sigh escapes Zane as he looks down at his sleeping friend; no words could express how glad he was the blue boy had gotten over his emotional, electrical, phase. Now he, and all their electronics, are safe from getting zapped. Looking away Zane quickly makes his way out of the room and into his own. Once again steeling his nerves Zane locks the door and slips out into the waiting darkness.
Minutes trickle into hours as two males talk, the world moving around them.
"So Zane favorite gem?"Kai asks, looking up at him.
"Garnet, I love what she represents," he replies, meeting Kai's gaze.
"I like Amethyst, I find her really relatable," Kai states looking away from his, once again, white clad companion.
"Please, explain," the older says, attempting to meet Kai's gaze once more.
"I-I can't, I don't know how," he whispers looking down.
Suddenly fed up by the others skillful evasion of eyes contact, Zane gently grabs his chin and turns his head.
"Hey, it's okay. Just know I'm here to talk if you need to; you can trust me." Zane whispers softly, the pull in his chest strong as ever.
As the two draw closer a faint scream splits through the air. Though the harsh almost metallic caw does nothing to break their trance, even as it draws closer. Mist swirls around the two, like a warm blanket.
"Zane, I d-do tru-, " but his soft words are cut off, as a falcon plows harshly into his chest.
Kai mutters a string off cuss words as he sits on the ground watching the bird flee. Zane laughs softly as he offers his firey friend a hand up, a smile makes its way onto Kai's face as he takes Zane's waiting hand.
"I take it you're not an animal person," Zane chuckles.
Kai shakes his head no as he looks up at the heavens. A blissful, calm, silence settles over the two.
Though it cannot last, as Kai soon breaks it, "Zane, I trust you, do you trust me?"
"Of course I trust you, if I didn't do you really think I would be here right now if I didn't,"
Kai nods briefly before roughly grabbing Zane's collar and pulling him down. Zane barely hears Kai's quick mutter of good, before their lips crash together. Sparks dance around the two and collide with flecks of snow and they swirl around the two, the perfect mix of hot and cold. The two barely hear two simultaneous screams as the pull away.
"Wow," Kai whispers as he stares up at Zane, he pale skin has faded back to snow white, his hair to a shimmering silver, and two sleek pale ice blue wings rest folded behind him.
Zane's eyes widen at the sight in front of him, fear leaving him frozen.
Two harsh horns stick out of kai's spikey hair, his skin a deep, almost blood red, and two firey red and orange wings residing on his back.
"No,"" Zane whispers,"you can't be,"
Everything falls silent as Zane backs up, pushing Kai away slightly.
Kai takes a step forward, but Zanes icy voice stops him in his tracks,""STAY BACK, I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU."
"Zane, calm down, I know you won't do that," Kai says, taking a step closer.
"STAY BACK, KAI!" he exclaims his surikens materialising in his hands.
A hand pulls Kai away from Zane as another male appears beside him. Sparks fly around the blue clad man as nunchucks appear in his hands,
"Jay, don't do this," the voice of Cole says from behind him, giving the mystery man a name.
"Cole, we don't have a choice! We are fated to be enemies, there is no other future for us!" Jay screams, tears pricking his eyes.
"What are you talking about!"" Cole yells back, dispite the rather mall distance between the two groups.
"As different as light and dark
fire and ice,
lightning and earth
the worlds will quake and burn,
split and freeze
the final battle
life and death
love and hate. It's our Fate Cole, nothing can change it, nothing can stop it. We are enemies" he growls the last thre words, like they are poison in his mouth.
Narrowing his eyes Cole summons his scyth, his form shifting, he is something that would instill fear into any mortal, but Jay remains unwavering. Bitting his lip Kai summons his own weapon. His and Cole's eyes widen as lightning crawls up Jay's arms changing his form as well.
"If that's how we're gonna play it," he growls
Kai almost flinches as he meets Zane's icy gaze, but instead steels his own.
