Escaping his grip: Prologue: Court Room
Escaping his grip: Prologue: Court Room
Disclaimer: I do not own beyblade, I wish I did. I would probably make them do very interesting things… that you would like. It's guy on guy if you don't like I don't care no one is making you read this.
I don't think anyone would have guessed that I would be the sick desire of some mad man on a killing spree. Then again no one would want to be but I just didn't see why anyone would want me. Neko-jin's aren't beautiful in the world. We're monsters, with our fangs, golden eyes, and inhuman reflexes. People were scared when we first came from our village. I just didn't see what he wanted from me but it didn't matter because he would get it before it was all over.
"Please state your name, origin, and age for the court" my older lawyer said her smile gave me a little calm feeling.
Sighing I nodded looking up from my bruised wrist to the rest of the court room "Kon, Rei. I'm from the China Mountains. I am currently 14 years old."
"Good. Good. Rei I would like you to tell me about Jean Jones and how you met him. If that would be alright with you" Ms. Curtis asked walking around with her hands behind her back.
Swallowing hard I stared at the jury and then back at the lawyer "J- Jean was with me at the man's house that's where- where we met….
~Flashback~
"hey"… a voiced called.
"Hey. Can you open your eyes" the voice asked louder. Rolling over painfully I sat up opening my eyes. The only thing I could see was complete darkness. I was always a little scared of the darkness when I was younger. My fear of it was that there was something in it that would get me, I guess I was right.
"hey" A voice called right next to my leg.
"Whose there" I asked my voice sounded small and weak just like I felt. Someone's cold hands touch mine gently as if trying to comfort me and it did.
"Are you okay Rei" the voice whispered. Pulling my hands away I was even more scared at the realization that he knew my name.
"Where am I? Why did you take me? What do you want" I called out moving away. I couldn't see very much as I backed up against what I guessed was the wall.
"Oh no Rei" the voice said moving closer "It wasn't me. I was taken like you. My name is Jean Jones. I'm 18 how old are you Rei? You are Rei right?" The voice moved close and sat next to me his arm right next to me.
"Yah- yes my names Rei Kon. I'm only 13" I whispered the situation finally fully hitting me "I'm not going to get out of here, am I? I'm going to die here with the sick person that took me? This has to be a joke?! No one wants a Neko-jin!" Tears started to fall quickly down my face. Sob took over my body as I wrapped my arms tightly around my waist curling up tightly.
"No" the voice whispered urgently "Rei. Rei stop. You can't be loud. He'll be angry and come in. Please stop. It will be okay. I'll do everything to get you out." Jean pulled Rei close and hugged him tightly trying to stop the noise.
"What's that noise in there" a slurred voice yelled somewhere behind a wall. Jean pushed Rei behind him and looked around.
"No-Nothing Johnson. Re- Rei was having a b-bad dream" Jean called he quickly turned back to me.
"Lay down act sick" he whispered quickly pulling me into a laying postion. Closing my eyes I already felt hot, sick, and scared. Swallowing hard my throat felt dry. I felt and heard a large door slam into the wall close by with heavy footsteps following.
"Is he sick" a rough voice asked very close. The voice sounded different than the other voice outside the door. I felt Jean grasp my hand tightly right before another bigger hand touched my forehead. The hand ran down my face to my neck feeling my pulse. I couldn't stop myself from breathing hard as I got more nervous. My head started to hurt and I thought I was going to throw up.
"I-um don't know" Jean stuttered out gripping my hand tightly still. It was comforting to know he was there. I felt like I was suffocating as I tried to breath.
"Well he might have had an adverse reaction" the man said looking Rei carefully over "be a good boy and pick the kid up Jean and follow me."
I felt Jean pick me up carefully and cradle me close as he stood and carried me out.
"Johnson" the rough voice called "your new kid's sick."
"Lay the boy down" the slurred voice said "send the other back. I'll deal with him in a few hours."
Swallowing I felt Jean touch my hand before quickly moving away. A pair of hands roamed my body and removing my clothes. My breath hitched in my throat as I felt sick, claustrophobic, and light headed. I felt my pants slowly come off as tears fell down my face. Please no…
~End of Flashback~
"Now Rei can you tell me when you last saw Jean Jones while at the man's house" the lawyer asked.
Nodding slowly more tears filled my eyes at the thought "I –He helped me get away from the mad man" I got out softly. Oh gods the thought of Jean's face when I last saw him made me sick. He was smiling at me giving me thumbs up as those men carried him back into that hell hole. It wasn't fair I got out and he got left behind and was hurt over and over when I got away. Its not fair he was there longer than me. He was hurt more than me. He protected me and was brave while I was a coward. Jean was the one that deserved to survive not me. I'm nothing... I would have died if it hadn't been for Jean. Jean is dead because of me. Swallowing hard I started to gag and cough. My breathing was hard and laboured as I leaned over trying to move into a ball and die. Pictures of the many times we were beaten and forced to do things flew through my head violently.
"Rei are you okay" the lawyer asked moving closer.
"Son do you need a brake" the older Judge asked as I grabbed my throat trying to breath. Nodding quickly I stood the lawyer helped me out the door.
"Rei your social worker has chosen to send you to a place that specializes with children that have been…well in your sort of situation" Rei's Lawyer Ms. Curtis said gently rubbing Rei's shoulders.
"What does that mean? A home for orphans" Rei asked staring down at his wrinkled pants.
"Well Rei it means we found you a temporary home until your better. Since Jean's trails over and yours is waiting on a verdict its better if you get away" Ms. Curtis said.
"Better from what? Get away from what" Rei asked looking up at the woman standing in his hotel room "I'm not sick."
"Rei, you were kidnapped for a month by a mad man who has killed 12 other children. You were tortured for a month by more than one man. Rei you haven't kept anything down in 10 days. You blame yourself for Jean's death when you couldn't have stopped it. We can't let our key witness fade away. We've done everything to keep your name and photo out of the paper but we can't keep doing it" she said slowly loosing Rei's attention.
One year later
"Rei dear it's time to get going to your room" A nurse is white said kindly. Looking up at her she smiled down at me and helped me up. She did a quick look over and moved slowly.
"Oh dear have you gained weight" she asked walking me down the hall. Nodding I stepped into my room; the door shut and locked behind me I went to the bed and laid down.
One year I've been here in a mental institution. 'Getting better' and trying to move on. I'm not sure I'll ever forget those men's faces. Not after what they did to Jean and Me. Looking at the white ceiling I sighed. Drigger my blade from when I was younger sat there. I'm glad that I at least have someone with me….
One year later
"I'm Rei Kon from the White tigers. Drigger is my bit beast and I'm ready to battle with all I've got….
Authors note:
Ok a little confusing but I'm pretty much saying Rei got away but was messed up but hey who wouldn't be. He got away and was left in an institution for 2 year and pretty much was drugged up and the guy was forgotten to Rei and yah… It was in a fast forward but don't worry if you want more of the story it will come maybe not soon but it will come. Need beta I've looked through a list on ffnet but those people are so impersonal I want someone who has read my writing. Someone I know like them just a little bit and I've looked and looked I don't care if your not on the list of beta's because you didn't write enough or something stupid like that just because you don't post doesn't mean you wont be a good beta. Anyway write me please. IF you think I wont write back your wrong! So thanks.
