A Shot at Life
Disclaimer: As much as I would love to, I don't own Beyblade.
…
I crave perfection, always have, and always will.
My life has been centered on perfecting every tiny detail of it. But my life's not perfect, it never was and it never will be.
I had dreams, dreams of becoming the world's most powerful beyblader. There was a time when that dream came true, only it turned out to be a nightmare.
I found that that wasn't my only dream.
It wasn't even my dream to begin with.
It was my grandfather's, the puppet master who pulled the strings in my life.
My dream, wasn't about power, it was about being the best in what I did.
I wanted other things too.
Things like a family and people I could call friends.
But I was taught to block these things out of my life from when I was young.
And I did.
I built a barrier around myself, refraining anyone from coming close to me, refraining myself from getting close to anyone.
People entered my life, but only as mere passer-bys. They left my life like the insignificant beings they were.
He was like any other person I ever met.
He passed me like the wind, unnoticed and yet moving.
He triggered something within me.
A need to be free.
To have a chance at freedom.
…
I was always greeted by everyone with cold stares. But he was different.
When I gazed into his golden pools, I saw promising warmth, something I never got.
His ocher orbs shone with a unique light. One I could not avoid.
He questioned me, I answered him.
His questions, unlike most, were not intrusions, instead were oddly welcoming.
He was secretly promising me the key to the gateway to freedom.
And all I had to do was let him lead me.
Allow him through my barrier.
I let him.
And I got what I wanted.
I learned about life, through experiences.
I learned how it's full of ups and downs, twists and turns, like a rollercoaster.
But that's what gives light to it.
That's what makes it so enjoyable.
That's what makes people crave life.
I thought of myself unlike all other beings.
But I was not.
Because without realizing it, I too, had always desired a shot at life.
…
The ending didn't quite turn out the way I wanted it to. Anyways, review please, be it to flame me, provide constructive criticism or just a simple compliment.
On a completely different note, can anyone please tell me how Ray/Rei and Tala/Yuriy become such good friends? Well now you have another reason as to why you should press that little review button.
