Wreckage

Chapter 7

Jayson smiled as he ran off through the forest, knowing that he might have finally found a way to make things up to Rune. Jade had handed Kyra to Ryuu, sending her ahead and helping Jayson with Tiffany. They had gotten halfway through the forest when they stopped running.

"They have expert trackers on their side. One of us needs to go one way, the other needs to go the other way. You find Ryuu and help her with Kyra, I'll head that way." Jayson pointed off towards the right, and Jade nodded, sprinting towards the left. Jayson sprinted to the beaches, where there was a small cave below in the tide pools. He climbed in with Tiffany and tied her to a rock using some of the ropes he had taken from Kyra's prison. He looked at her, ripping off her gag.

"Welcome to your new home. The nice smell of the ocean and fish all day, every day, at least until they find you. Don't worry too much about anything. Our new setup is close by, so you won't have to worry about going hungry." This was a lie, mostly because they were planning on just having Tiffany in the cave as a diversion and an easy way for them to get the Boka off their trail. "It will get cold. We will not do anything to help you about that."

Tiffany struggled against her bonds as Jayson left. He was quiet as he slipped into the sea, swimming far from the beach and swimming to the other side of the island, where the Mora mountain was. He knew that the Boka should go out and look for Tiffany soon, but he wasn't sure how many days she might be there. He got to a segment of the seashore that was a considerable distance away from the cave and exited the water, immediately climbing up into a tree and avoiding the ground, as he knew it was another way for them to track him. He expertly maneuvered through the branches, climbing higher into the trees and towards the top of the canopy. He was nearing the entrance to the Mora base when he heard voices.

"Sokan, I thought you told me that you weren't going to leave until your eye had recovered more. What are the chances that you'll find them?" Lucas and Sokan were walking along the forest floor.

"Lucas, I know where they went. Even in their best attempts to throw me off their trail won't work. I honestly could care less about finding Tiff right now, they're too weak and wouldn't hurt her. I just want to find those brats who took Kyra. You were right, we should have moved her sooner. I promise that when we find her, you will have full control over her." Hearing Sokan say that sent a shudder through Jayson's being. Lucas was cruel and insane, and Kyra was in a pretty fragile state. It wasn't until Jayson heard the snap of a stick that he knew his friends were in trouble.

"Lucas, look over there. Through the trees. It's Ryuu and Jade, and it looks like they have Kyra." The two psychopaths started running after them, and Jayson swung out of the branches and started chasing them. Little did he realize that Coron and Harold, two of the beefiest guys in his class, were also there, lying in wait. As Sokan and Lucas caught up to the girls, Jayson threw a stick at Sokan, hitting him in the head.

"Ryuu, take Kyra and run! We've got this!" Jade looked Jayson in the eyes before sprinting at Sokan straight on and punching him in the nose. Lucas gestured to Coron, and they sprinted off after Ryuu and Kyra. Jayson immediately ran to Jade's side and started attacking Sokan, and she quickly moved over to go after Harold, who was pretty slow.

"So, you dropped Tiff off at one of your little hideouts, huh. I don't care, really. I can just find her later, there isn't much on this island that I don't know about." He swung at Jayson's head and he ducked, punching Sokan in the stomach. "You'll regret that."

The fighting went on for about ten minutes when Jayson heard a cry and looked over at Jade. Harold had gotten the better of her and had her arms behind her back, preventing her from escaping. Right as Jayson saw her, he heard a scuffle from the other side of the clearing and saw Coron dragging Ryuu back, Lucas and Kyra nowhere to be seen.
