A Powerless FanFiction

Kai

 It's been a few weeks since Adena all of the sudden was brought back form the dead by our mysterious elite. Who has been permanently locked up, there is no telling the amount of damage he might do if he brings more people back from the dead. So for now he is in the custody of the King.

The next trial is approaching fast, and I fear that no matter how much I train I might not make it out of this. I want to make it out of this I want to meet my child, I want to watch them grow up.

I'm laying in bed next to Pae just playing with her hair, the past 8 months have been a blur and her hair has grown almost completely back out after she had cut it. She turns in her sleep a little, making her tank top shift showing the O shaped scar carved into her skin visible. The sight made my skin crawl, and the thought made me hate my father even more than I already did. I have known about the scar for months, and every time I try to brush it's existence to the back of my mind. When I had found Pae in Dor she was so broken, and now she may have healed slightly, part of that brokenness will never fully go away and that scar left by my father is just a reminder of it.

I watch as she rolls over again, stretching before slowly starting to sit up before deciding against it flopping back down to the bed, rolling over and curling her body against my own.

"Good morning Darling." I whisper to her wrapping my arms around her.

"Morning Prince." She replied grogily.

"Sleep well?" I asked her.

"Not really, your child kept me up all night kicking." She responded.

"My child? They're just as much your child as she is mine. If anything she gets that stubborn annoying nature from you." I laugh.

"They get it from you, you and your smartass comments." She laughs grabbing one of our pillows and tossing it at me.

"Only a month left before the baby gets here are you ready?" I ask her.

"No, I'm not, but I don't think there is a way for you to be fully ready for this change." She responds finally sitting up fully. "Are you ready?"

"No, I'm terrified that somehow I'm going to mess up and end up just like my father, using them only for Ilyia and not treating them like they are my child," I respond.

"Kai, knowing you, I doubt there is any part of you that would allow you to treat your child the way your father taught you." she smiles, reaching her hand up to my face, the gentle action resting against my cheek.

I look over at the clock, seeing it is almost ten a.m. I was told I needed to be down in the training arena by ten-fifteen. Throwing my head back in frustration. "Well my love, I get to say it but I was told I needed to be in the arena by ten fifteen, so I must be going, but you should go hang out with Adena, there is plenty that you both need to catch up on," I say dragging myself out of bed throwing on some clothes.

I walk down the halls entering the arena, immediately losing the shirt to the heat of the day. I ended up sparing with Mak, I don't know why, but we did.

"So how's it been having Adena back?" I ask him as he swings his fist towards my head as I duck.

"It's been great. Took so much weight that I had been carrying off my shoulders." He responds as I swing back, my wedding band knicking his cheek.

"That's great to hear, I'm glad she's adjusting so well" I respond with a cheery tone as he uses Jax's ability to blink his way to a weapons rack grabbing a sword.

"Attetion competitors!" Kitt's voice echoed over the arena as we all stopped in our tracks looking up at him who was standing on the walkway above us. "The next trial will commence in one week prepare yourselves, you never know what will be in the next trial. I wish you all happy training, and for those of you who have, spend time with your loved ones." He says, the last sentence in a distasteful tone.

Well shit, he's got it out for Mak and I.

This is just great, he's got it out for me, along with Mak this can mean nothing but bad. I think as I pace around my room.

"Kai, what are you so worried about, you only ever do this when you have something on your mind," Paedyn asks from across the room.

"Nothing Darling, just Kitt being Kitt, that's all," I respond, knowing that she will immediately see through the facade.

"Kai, you know Kitt being Kitt is more than what that statement entails especially with your body language, please talk to me about it." She says to me, wrapping her arms around me from behind, resting her forehead against my back.

I exhale, I don't want to tell her. "Just something he said to the competitors today, it makes me think that he's got it out for Mak and me."

"Why do you say that?" She asks.

"When talking to us about when the next trial would be he said for those of us who have loved ones spend time with them." I pause. "But he said it in that distasteful tone he uses when he's trying to hint at something like he knows something is going to happen but withholds the information."

"But what makes you think that it's you and Mak that he's after?"

"Because we're the only ones out of the competitors in the trials that have anyone that we would leave behind in that sort of way. You, Adena, our baby, that's who's left behind if something happens to Mak and me. But if something were to happen to Jax it's just me who would mourn him maybe Kitt. Andy, her father was lost during the resistance attack. Selena, no one, I doubt you would morn her. My point stands that the only two people who would leave massive holes and damage if we died would be Mak and I." I say.

"When did you become such a perceptive one?" She asks. "But you are right, that is something we may want to worry about. But something we have to remember is it's Kitt, his thoughts are twisted and what we think he could mean, could be something entirely different, there's no way of knowing for sure until the trial begins."

I sigh again

She's right. Now it is just a waiting game to see who Kitt wants dead.

And since I stole his bride, it's probably going to be me.
