Chapter One: The Outcast
February 24th, 2019, “Kai might be in grave danger if he went to that man’s house!” Kate says she is worried about her best friend. "Oh please Kai will be fine but I'm ready to kill so lets go" Rachael says excited but a little worried about Kai but don't want to admit it. Everyone gets in the car. Steve starts up the car and drives over to the man’s house. They get out of the car and run into the house, and they bust through the door and see Kai standing over a man with a knife jammed in his heart, blood all over Kai’s hands. He’s just staring at his hands covered in blood, and a smirk starts to form on his face.
2 years later... On May 6, 2021, there’s screaming coming from downstairs. Kai goes downstairs to see what all the yelling is about. He gets downstairs and sees his mom and dad yelling at each other, and he immediately gets annoyed, “CAN YOU GUYS PLEASE SHUT UP FOR 10 MINUTES!” Kai yells out. His dad and mom immediately stop yelling at each other “WHAT THE FUCK YOU SAY TO ME BOY” Kai dad snaps back yelling at Kai and getting in his face but Kai doesn’t back down Kai tries to say calm “Danielle is trying to sleep and she got’s to get up soon for school soon” Kai dad backs away a step feeling angry feeling angry still but not trying to off on him.
Kai heads upstairs to check on Danielle to make sure she is. Kai slowly opens her door quietly and knocks on it twice with her index and middle fingers. Danielle tosses and stirs, not wanting to get up. Kai walks over to her bed and smiles. “Come on, girl, you gotta get up, you got school.” He gently sits on the edge of her bed and rubs his hand on her shoulder. “I don’t wanna get up” Danielle says and Kai just giggles a bit “yeah I know but you gotta” Danielle finally turns over to look at him “Don’t you got school too” Kai laughs a bit “yes I do but I’m already up now get up and get dressed I’ll be right outside waiting” Danielle nods her head and Kai gets up and goes out of her room and shuts the door waiting for her to get ready.
Danielle opens her door dressed in what she’s gonna wear to school “Are you ready?” He asks her, making sure she’s ready for school, and Danielle scoffs and starts to walk down the stairs. Kai walks behind her, and they both make it downstairs. Kai looks at their mom and dad “We are heading to school”, he says, letting them know they are about to leave. Their dad just says “don’t care”, while their mom just snorts cocaine, not even paying attention to them. Kai just rolls his eyes and puts Danielle’s backpack on her, and Kai grabs the door handle, twists it and flings the door open and shuts it behind them. He walks a little behind Danielle to the bus stop, being a protective older brother. They get to the bus stop and wait for the bus. All Kai sees are drug addicts looking at them and crazies laughing at jokes that no sane person finds funny.
The bus arrives at their bus stop and honks their horn. Danielle steps on the bus, and Kai is right behind her, stepping on after her. Danielle finds an open seat and sits down. Kai sits next to her, letting her have the window so she can see outside while the bus moves. The bus starts moving.
They get to school, and Kai goes down his hallway, the jr high hallway, while Danielle goes down the middle school hallway, and Kai walks into his class, seeing kids throw paper balls at each other and the teacher trying to get them to settle down. Kai just ignores this and sits at his desk. After the bell rings, Kai gets up and starts walking down the hallway, passing the middle school hallway, but he can’t help but notice another little boy making fun of Danielle. Kai gets angry, his heart starts pounding, and his hands start shaking from anger, and he walks up the the boy and lifts him up by the back collar of his shirt with one hand. Kai looks at him dead in his eyes “You talk to my sister again, you look at my sister again, hell, you even breath in my little sister direction again and I will bash your tiny little fucking head into the GODDAMN COLD HARD GROUND” Kai says extremely angry and he tosses the kid to the ground everyone just watching as this sene unfolds. A teacher comes up pissed at Kai and yells at him, “GET YOUR ASS TO THE PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE RIGHT NOW!!!” Kai just stares at her and smirks, then slowly walks to the office while everyone backs away
The principal looks at Kai and tells him to sit, so Kai does as he is asked, his posture leaning back with his ankles crossed. “Now Kai what did you do this time” Kai just sits there in silents “I heard you threaten a boy way younger then you” “by four years” “that doesn’t matter Kai” He looks at the principle with a blank stair then replies again “he was bullying my little sister” the principle looks at Kai confused “so that gives you the right to threaten him and toss him to the ground???” Kai just rolls his eyes, thinking to himself that the principal is obviously retarded. “Let me tell you this principle noback” the principle instantly claps back “it’s novack” Kai chuckles “Oh yeah like that’s any better... that punk was bullying my little sister you all don’t stop bullying so I will” Mr novack is annoyed with Kai behavior “If I have to I will suspend you if you start up anymore drama I will suspend you” Kai replies with “Oh go suck a log” Kai gets up and walks out the principle office while the principle ask “WHAT WAS THAT?” Kai ignores him and walks off.
While Kai is in the hallway, Kate runs up to him, “sooo I see you tried to kill a kid” Kai doesn’t even look at her “Oh please, if I wanted him dead, he would be” Kai and Kate go to their next class and sit next to each other.
After school, Kai gets on his bus with Danielle to get home. They get home and get inside when their mom and dad are waiting for them. They just all look at each other “I got a call from the school, the principal said you beat up a kid that was way younger than you”, Kai’s mom says to Kai. Kai looks at his dad and can tell he is pissed off at Kai “oh so you like picking up smaller kids” Kay dad lifts Kai off the ground by the shirt you can hear as his shirt starts to rip but Kai doesn’t react instead he smirks at him while Danielle is freaking out “DAD KAI WAS JUST PROTECTING ME FROM A BULLY” Danielle yells at their dad their dad looks at Danielle and says “Quite little bitch now go up stairs I’ll deal with you later” Danielle runs up stairs crying and their mom backs away crying but not doing anything. Kai sees a dark shadow in the corner of the room and he looks back at his dad keeps hearing what he said to Danielle “What did you just say to her” Kai says as he sees the room burning but he knows he’s imagining all of it because how angry he feels and the crave of him just burning the house down with his dad in it the smell of his burning flesh is making Kai smile. His dad yells at Kai, “GO UP STAIRS NOW!” Kai just looks at his dad, angry, but he goes upstairs to check up on Danielle.
Kai opens Danielle’s door and sees her crying. He goes up to her to comfort her as she cries into her knees. He gently rubs his hand on her back, trying to comfort her and make sure she feels safe. “It’s okay, Danielle, I promise nothing bad will happen to you” Danielle looks up at Kai and says “, But you heard dad, he’s gonna come up here and whoop me” She says with tears in her eyes before putting her head back down into her knees. “Like hell he will. I will break his fucking neck before he puts his hands on you” Danielle looks back up at Kai and starts to smile a little, then immediately hugs him.
Later that night, Kai is asleep and he hears and yell coming from Danielle. He immediately gets up and busts through her room, seeing his dad beating her with his belt. Kai has had enough and tackles his dad to the ground and starts punching him in the face repeatedly. “DON’T... YOU... EVER... TOUCH... HER... AGAIN!!!′ Kai says, in between punching his dad in the face. Kai’s dad knees Kai in the stomach and throws him against the wall, and kicks Kai in the face. “DON’T YOU EVER PUT YOUR HANDS ON ME AGAIN!” Kai’s dad says to him angrily, and head feels heated. Kai’s mom calls the cops, and the cops come and take Kai away, handcuffing him and escorting him into the police cruiser. Danielle yells for them to leave Kai alone, but they don’t listen, and Kai and Danielle are forced to just look at each other as Kai is taken away in the police cruiser. Kai gets to the police station, and he gets his mug shot “Face forward” CLICK “Face to the left” CLICK. They take Kai to a holding cell and leave him there for the night till they know what to do with him.
That night, Kai is in his holding cell thinking about breaking out because he doesn’t like the idea of Danielle being alone in that house with their father. Kai looks at the cop sitting in his chair “hey.. officer” the officer takes his feat off his desk and stops snoring and trying to stay awake he looks over at Kai “yeah what you want” the officer says trying to stay awake. “bro I’m hungry get me food” the officer smirks. “your funny” the officer gets up and walks over to Kai “why the hell should I give your stupid ass food” Kai snaps backs “probably because I’m fucking hungry” the officer don’t like his response and takes a deep breath before walking away but Kai quickly grabs the officer by the top of his uniform shirt and slams him hard into the cell knocking him out cold. He quickly grabs the officer’s Keys and uses them to unlock the cell door to let himself out. Key grabs the phone sitting on the chief’s desk, and he dials his house phone number. His mom answers, “Hello?” his mom says all she hears is “put dad on the phone” his mom is shocked and nervous at the same time. Without saying anything, she slowly hands the phone to her husband. “Who’s this?” It’s silent for a few seconds “Take a guest... take a loooong moment to realize what you have started pretty soon” Kai looks out the window of the police station. “your gonna realize why you shouldn’t fuck with me. I’m coming back and I will kill any mother fucker who stands in my way... I’m coming for you bitch” Kai puts the phone back down hanging it up and walks out of the police station and runs away from the police station. Kai gets to a house looking for Kate. He knocks on the door of the house. It’s silent at first, but then Kai hears someone running down stairs. It’s silent again... but then the door unlocks and swings open. “Kai...” Kate says feeling chills from the cold night air “Kate... I need your help”
