Lirin: I feel like I should start today off right. Probably cause this will be about the only good thing to happen on my b-day. So I'm doing a reversed gift giving :) Happy Unbirthday everyone!
Kisa: First off to everyone that supported "Academy From Hell", thank you so much. We would not have returned for this new adventure if it was not for all of you. We hope you enjoy this as much as you have the original.
Johnny: Lirin doesn't own Beyblade, me, or any other character from the series. She gains no monetary profit from her writings of fan fiction. I think that's all.
Lirin: Looks good. Everyone please enjoy the beginning of "Hell's Back In Session"
Chapter 1: The Past Seven Months
Seven months ago my brothers and I executed a planned break from Hell. Back then we had no idea how things would turn out. In fact most of us were doubting it would actually work. After all we were just a group of dreaming kids breaking the rules.
Somehow things worked out in our favor. It could have been that Boris's men didn't want to harm us too much. Or it could have been that we were able to get help from BBA bladers. Whatever the reason it was lucky for us.
That's not to say we didn't have some causalities. The first of our numbers to fall was Ian. Boris had shot his right ankle to oblivion. There was no way to repair that damage. To this day he has no use of his right foot as he waits for a replacement that might never come.
I was technically the next to be struck down. Boris had hit me out of the sky with a couple of bullets. From the altitude and wing damage I should have died from colliding with the ground. However thanks to Johnny McGregor and his friends my life was spared to see another day. After I woke up (in a hotel) Tsubasa healed the injuries.
The last of us to be hit was Tom. Back when Kai tried to steal Black Dranzer, Tom had sustained a head injury that was never properly looked at. So when a guard creaked him over the head his old injury flared sending him into a coma for four months.
Ray, a member from Kai's "new" team, stayed at his side the whole time. Mr. Dickinson had made arrangements for Ray to be his representative to handle Tom's medical needs. How he got those strings pulled I really don't know but I'm glad he did.
After waking up and being discharged, Tom moved to Japan with the Bladebreakers. He doesn't have any memories of his time from the Abbey. He doesn't even remember his closest friends. Okay that hurts some, but the fresh start he got lessens the blow.
Tala, Bryan, Spencer and Ian have all moved in with Kai at one of his family mansions in Moscow. Tala told me that they've got a restraint order against Voltaire to keep him away from them. A smart move on thier part, especially since Ian isn't as mobile as he used to be.
Most times they still keep to themselves. It's sad just how deeply Boris's "lessons" have affected them. None of them find it easy to trust outsiders. Most of them can't even tolerate going to Ian's appointments when those come around.
I would like to point out that my brothers haven't shut themselves off to the world completely. They spend a few days a week at the BBA teaching newbies and hanging out with the orphan Abbey kids.
As for me, I've been living with Johnny McGregor. That might sound like a fairy tale ending cause ya know he had been a knight saving my life and all. Well that's about as close to a princess as this freak got.
First off there is Lady McGregor. Johnny warned me she would be difficult to get along with. He was right on the nose. She only cares about social classes and normalcy. Neither of which I create a blip on her radars. Thus she simply hates me.
If not for Johnny and his father's influence I would have been "kicked to the curb" the rainy day that Johnny and I showed up here. Instead I have a "lovely" room high up in a tower away from everyone and every thing. It's a small space big enough for only a twin sized bed, dresser, and nightstand with a lamp. My room in Hell was bigger then this. What the two spaces do have in common is that they're drafty and made from stone.
She also doesn't approve of Johnny trying to court me. This is another way she blatantly points out I'm a lowly commoner freak to hate. It also bothers Johnny that she wants to control his life like this.
If this wasn't bad enough, she's tried to get rid of me a few times. By a few I mean at least twice a week. There has been poison, hit men, "accidents". Really anything her twisted mind can come up with to end my life. As I'm still here recounting these time her attempts have clearly not worked out as she wants. This is why I like to think of her as my new Mona.
I wish that this was the worst of it. Sadly it is not. Ever since the breakout I've had a nightly reoccurring nightmare. It's always the same thing. I'm running in a labyrinth with narrow high walls. I have no space to spread my wings. A figure is chasing me. All I hear are the echoing of foot steps.
I run and run exhausting myself until I come face to face with a dead end. I turn around to see my pursuer at the mouth of the passage. I have no where to escape to. The echoing is getting louder as the person comes closer. It's sounding more and more like a beating heart.
It's Boris. He has the same wild madness in his expression that he wore on the night we broke out. There's a knife in his hand that's poised high waiting to strike.
"You can never escape me girl. I will always hunt you down and extract my revenge."
With my back pressed against the wall. I have no where to run. No hope of escape. I'm helpless as I watch the knife coming down to be buried deep in my chest.
Just before the blade pierces my flesh I wake up screaming in bed. Tears are running down my cheeks. I'm breathing hard as if I really had been running.
Moments later my door opens and Johnny would be at my bedside to hold me close. He never tells me how he knows to come here. He just always shows up at the right time.
He tells me not to worry about the dreams and he'll forever be there to save me. He truly knows how to calm me down when I need it most. I only wish this would not have become a nightly occurrence for the past seven months. Not like Johnny complains because he does usually spend the rest of the night in my bed.
I will admit that life with the McGregors isn't all bad. Lord McGregor likes me. He's a lot like his son only without the anger issues. He might not be around often, but when he does have the time he likes to spare some of it on Johnny and myself. And unlike his wife he does approve of Johnny attempting to win my heart over.
When Lord McGregor isn't around Johnny and I will often visit the other Majestics (oh yeah I'm officially part of their team now). Mostly we go to Robert's castle.
Rob has a nice family. His younger twin brothers love our visits. They're obsessed with watching me fly or seeing a good beybattle. Only Rebecca hates it when we visit. It is clear she has a crush on Johnny. Yet he only sees her as a kid sister and not as a romantic interest. Thus she gets jealous of how Johnny gives a lot of attention to me. I feel bad for her.
The Jurgens' home offers something else besides an escape from Lady McGregor, a jealous girl and excitable twins. The library there is huge. It's stocked with so many different kinds of books that one life time would not be enough to go through them all.
My main interest here are the numerous spell books Rob has allowed me access to. Ever since Tsubasa mentioned that I have a gift for magic I've wanted to learn. Tsu and I spend hours hiding away in this room going over things. It's a wonderful feeling to have a mystic force flowing though your body as a spell is cast. I do need Tsu to help me control this power though. Without her assistance I usually have too much power going into the spell that will make it backfire. She tells me that with time I'll learn to control it more. This is just like when I was learning to control her. Guess I like to over do things.
"Princess."
I look up from my notebook to see Johnny standing in my door. He's dressed as usual in his brown frayed shorts and blue T-shirt and wearing that playful smirk I adore so much.
"Dinner is ready. And dad's home so we don't have to worry about food poisoning tonight."
I close my book and drop my pen. "Great. It's been a while since your dad has had time for a meal with us. I've been missing his stories," I say walking towards the door.
"What have you been doing up here?" he asks. His left arm wraps around my waist as we walk down my tower stairs.
"Just writing and thinking."
"Have you given any more thought about us?"
I shake my head and step out of his arm. "Sorry Johnny. I'm still not ready for a relationship." The subject is dropped knowing he wont get any further explanation out of me. Truth is I don't have any more info to give him. I don't know if I will ever be ready for a relationship after what Boris has done to me. After all how can a person that doesn't like herself be committed to a romantic relationship?
Johnny: How can we not be dating yet!? It's been 7 months of us living together and saving her from my mother's insanity. Lirin change this now!
Lirin: *face palm* Johnny you know damn well that Kisa does what she wants, when she wants. If she wants to tell you no she's going to. She's got her reasons and leave it at that.
Johnny: If you're not going to help maybe the readers can convince her to change her mind. Damn it I love this girl too much. Not being together is driving me crazy.
Kisa: That's not a long drive Johnny. Thanks all for reading and remember it's Lirin's b-day so be nice and leave reviews for her to wake up to. Bye.
