Chapter 10: What Really happened that night

Another month passed and Kai still hadn't woken up. Rush, River and Aunt Chris stayed by his side waiting for the day he would. Aiden did when he wasn't busy with captain stuff.

It was finally lunch time. No one was by Kai's side at the time and he was starting to wake up. "Hmm. What? What happened to me?" I was confused for a minute then sat up. "Ah." I looked where my wound was and said, "Oh yeah. I remember now. I had Kairi do this to me for an experiment. I wonder how everyone else is doing?" I tried to stand up and walk a little, but as soon as I let go of the bed I almost fell. "Dammit!" Someone must have heard me because My aunt and uncle came rushing in. "Kai your Awake!" Said Aunt Chris. Uncle helped me back in the bed and I groaned in pain. "Argh." "Sorry Kai." Said uncle. "How long was I asleep this time?" I was curious. "You were asleep for 5 moths Kai." Said Aiden. "Really? Damn she must have good me better than I thought she would. I guess the machine works huh?" "Well it works for you. We are going to see if there are volunteers to do it if ever they get seriously hurt." Said Uncle.

"I have to tell you guys something. I need to stay with you guys a little longer. I haven't got all of my memories back but most of them. That is why I need to stay. Then is something about the last accident that seems suspicious to me. Until I do, I don't plan on leaving. I also have a hunch I don't plan on sharing with you just yet. By the way Uncle. Chris told me about your younger brother. I never got a name." "Oh his name was Kona." "I see. I'm sorry about your brother." "Its fine. I happened a ways back."

While I was visiting with Auntie and uncle, Rush and River decided to check on me. They were surprised to see me awake as well. "Hey guys. Sorry I missed your birthdays." "Hey its fine. You were unconscious and dying. I'm glad they were able to bring you back. You really scared us man." Said River. "Yeah sorry. I hurt a little bit. Well more aching than anything. Hey uncle. When can I get out of here?" "Depends on how your wound it and how you are feeling. Here lets check it out and I could probably tell you." So Uncle checked my wound in my stomach area and said, "Well. If you keep healing at this pace, you will be able to get out of here in a week." "Dammit! I can't sit here for a week. I have things I got to do things to research. Hey I have an idea. Hey River could you get me my laptop please?" "Yeah of course I can." So he went out to do it.

Now it was just me and Rush in the room. I started speaking to him. "So Rush. Have you and River met Kona?" Well I was 6 when I last saw him. My brother was 10. He would probably know more about him. Why interested in my uncle who died years back?" "Oh don't worry about it. Its fine." Then at that time River came in with my laptop. "Hey River? Can you stay here with me? I have some important things to talk to only you about." Rush got the hint and went to hang out with his buddies.

"So what is it Kai?" said River. "Can you keep a secret? Even if its about your family?" "Depends on who your talking about yeah." "OK good. I'm researching Kona. I have read some interesting stuff about him." "Wait Why are you researching my dead uncle?" "That's the thing. I don't think he is dead. I have been researching him since Chris told me about him. I have enough already to know he might be alive. I think he might be one of the ones responsible for my accident before I lost my memory." "I see. So our uncle was most likely was responsible for your accident. Almost a year ago." Said River. "Yeah pretty weird right?" "Your telling me. OK so I won't tell anyone I promise." "Not even your dad or Chris. No letters to Kaia either. Although I'm sure she already figured it out. She got back from checking it out."

I was getting sleepy and River saw. "Ok Kai. Get some rest. We can talk more later." I put my laptop under my pillow and went to sleep.

Two weeks later, I was a free man. I was finally able to get around although I was told to take it easy. Little did he know taking it easy would be hard. "Ah. Fresh air is so nice. I better enjoy it when I can. No one ever knows what might happen. "

A few hours later, there was word of a ship. I went to my uncle and grabbed the telescope right out of his hand. After I saw the ship, I had a really strong headache. "Argh! My head! Its him uncle! Your brother is alive! Argh! He was the one responsible for the accident both times! He may not have had a choice! Argh!" Then my headache finally stopped, and I was so relieved I almost fell but River caught me. "Ha. Good catch River. Thanks." I said. "So uncle. You knew he was still alive, didn't you?" "I had a hunch he was. I just didn't know he was responsible for both accidents." "Well it's the ship. The ship that is coming, is that same ship I saw in my memory. He is the captains right hand man." "Kai. You got your memory back?" said Aunt Chris. "Yeah I remember everything. Even if I have to shout it to him when he gets here I will tell him and you guys will know too."

I went closer to the doc so I could jump on their ship when it got there. No one knew my plan. Finally they were close enough I could jump. I jumped right onto their ship and I heard uncle and everyone yelling at me but I didn't care. I needed to know the truth.

I was surrounded and I put my hands up in surrender. I said, "I just want to talk to Kona. I am his nephew Kai. I am Kaia's son." I saw the captain walk towards the men with who I was assuming was my uncle Kona. "You wanted to talk to me?" "Are you Kona? Are you really my moms brother?" "Yes I am." "You look nothing like them." "I was born from a different father than the others. Even thought Dad knew I was someone else's kid, he took me in as his own. He and mom separated at the time and decided to see other people is how I was born. I killed my father with my own two hands." "I wanted to talk to you about that night. I just recently got my memory back when I saw the ship. I want to know what really happened that night." "I assume that your mother and my brother know I am alive by now right?" "Yeah. I just found out recently. When Chris told me about your death, I decided to research you. I found out you were still alive." "Well anyways. Yes. It is as you said. I was responsible for the last accident. I wasn't for the one when you were younger. Although I was on the ship that that as well. I can only say I was responsible for this one." "Well Kai was it?" "Yeah." "I just recently myself found out I was responsible for the incident you are talking about. According to the captain and some others, I was drugged. They knew you were related to me somehow back then. I must have pissed them off for some reason that they had me go after my whole family. Mom and Dad died in the first accident when you were probably about 5 years old. I put something on the ship that once lightning hit the ship, it would be destroyed without repair. I'm glad I didn't loose all my family in any incident." "Well apparently mom wasn't on the ship in any incident so she was safe. As for Cliff he survived but not without injury." I told him my story about what happened that day I turned 5 and ended up with Rin and her family. "Well at least they were a good family. I'm glad your life was doing well." "What are you going to do now? Are you going to raid your brothers boat? What do you want from him? If your tight on money and supplies I know some good traders." "You really do?" "Yeah. Starting from the port I came from. They have good trading."

"Where is this port? Who do we speak too?" The captain said as he finally butted in. "Captain." Said Kona. It's the port Calamer. They can give you names of good traders as well." You can send word for me at any time you need help with any of them or more. After all Kona. We are family. Even if we are not whole. We have the same veins that run through moms side of the family. Me mom. You your mom. We are close to a port now. One that is friends with the one I told you. You want to talk to a man named Koa. He is in his mid 20's if he is not there ask for his mother Lei." "Captain. I think we should just go and leave my brother alone. Kai gave us some info to trade. I'm sure this port will help us." "All right. For now we will retreat. If everything doesn't work out, we will be after your brother ok Kona?" "Kai. Thanks a lot. I can't go back to my brothers ship. Tell Chris and Aiden to take care. When you see your mom, tell her to look under her dresser on Cliff and the captains ship. I left something there for the boys her and cliff. That includes you. Oh tell Aiden to look on the ceiling in the cockpit. There is a secret compartment. I left something for them and the boys as well. Thanks for everything Kai. I wish I can go back home but can't." "Hey Kai." "Yes Captain." "You, your cousin, and your brothers are always welcome on the ship. Even though Kona doesn't want them too his family is welcome as well." "Thank you sir. I will tell them. See you guys some other time." I jumped back to Uncles ship, and Uncle saw then heading to port as uncle was passing it.

"Sorry about that uncle. I had to tie up some loose ends. Everything is going to be ok now." "What in the world did you do Kai?" "Oh I just gave them some names of good traders. Then I talked to Kona about back the last accident and the accident after. Oh yeah. Kona said to look in the cockpit. He said there is a secret compartment in there and left something for You, the boys, and Chris. He left something for mom as well on Cliff and Captain's ship." "I'm going to right a letter and see where they are now. I need to go home. Its been a long journey and adventure." "Yeah Kid. It has." So I went to my room and wrote my letter. Once I was done I gave it to our fastest bird Flash. "This goes to Cliff and the captain." The bird understood and flew off. I waited for the day I got a letter and could return home.
