Mystery Man ;)
Welllll ya'll here's the next chapter!!! : D It didn't go as I planned, but I think it'll work out better this way! Sorry to everyone who asked me to read their stories. I ended up getting grounded (my dad took my precious computer away from me. I practically cried when he took my harddrive out of my room…it's my baby! It's old, but it's still my baby! )
Sooo to make a long story short, I had a lot of time on my hands, and managed to write 2 new chapters the old fashioned way…by hand. But you're only getting one chapter for now…I'll wait for more reviews to update the next…hehehe! Oh, and it'll be getting harder to write now so it'll be longer before I update after the next chapter. My marks are starting to drop in math (by the way I suck…if I didn't already mention that) and if I don't bring them up…welll…let's just say I won't be writing the rest of this story. And I got a Boyfriend! : D /me hyperventilates….my sister usually scares them away, I don't know why or how she does…she's like only 5 feet and really tiny..yet people are afraid of her….hmmm….well I'm babbling again.It's a habit..you should hear me in class..I don't shut up. Blahhh on with the story..
I don't own beyblade…..I'm sick of writing that. I know!! I'll invite someone else to do it…one we all know and love……………….MAX!!!!
SH-SP: Taker' away buddy!
Max: er hem…. Ginny doesn't own beyblade or any of it's characters…but she does own herself! There was I professional enough??
SH-SP: You did great!
Max: : )

Oliver stared at Kai curiously, watching as his face scrunched with anger. It was at that moment that he realized how special Ginny was to him, though Kai wouldn't admit it. He smiled as he thought of Ginny. If you had a bad day you knew you could count on her to make you feel better. She was always so supportive. Olivers thoughts were disrupted as a knock came to the front door.
Robert ran to the door opening it slowly until he had eye contact with the person who had knocked. Relief washed over his face as he opened the door wide. It was Tyson, Rei, Lee and Michael, burdened with bags and boxes.
"That was fairly quick." Enrique stated as he grabbed bags from each of the boys setting them down on the ground.
"Mr Dickinson had someone waiting for us on the main road, so it didn't take that long to get the stuff, but carrying it here was difficult." Rei said as he rubbed his shoulder where a bag had been previously.
Tyson dropped his last bag then turned to see Kai sitting at the table. "Hey Hey buddy! You're not looking like your normal grumpy self? What's up?" Tyson said smacking Kai on the back.
"In case you hadn't noticed Tyson, we're missing a person." Emily snapped. Things were starting to get to her as well.
"Whaa?? You mean Eddie, Kevin, Gary and Steve right?" Tyson said scratching his head, looking around blankly. "I know they're not here…..who are we missing??"
"I'll give you 3 hints, blonde, female, happy." Jonny said irritably.
"GINNY! Where is she!" Michael gasped.
~`~`~`~`~`@--------@`~`~`~`~`~
"Go on." Ginny said, wincing as she stretched her legs.
"Well, you see. I was sent her to let you know that, someone is coming to help you escape. It won't be the person you'd expect. And you may not like it, but you'll have to play along. I'll need you to play sick. I'll tell the guards that you seem to be falling ill, and that they are to check on you every hour." Brenda said quickly, Her thin brown hair falling in her face.
Ginny snorted. "Oww!" she cried. Great! I can't even laugh, she thought. "That won't be hard seeing as I fell like I'm dying anyway. What time is this person coming, and who is it?"
"I can't say who it is, but this person will be coming late tonight, when most are asleep to avoid detection. I must leave now. Be ready for tonight." Brenda said as she briskly stood, and walked out of the cell, locking the bared door behind her.
Who could this be? Ginny thought….someone she wouldn't expect and and that she may not like? That narrows it down to about 500 people in the abbey and who knows how many outside of the abbey. Ginny pulled her legs back up to her chest and fell asleep, wondering who the mystery person could be.
~`~`~`~`~`@--------@`~`~`~`~`~
"Well, you see. The thing is.. " Kenny said slowly, beating around the bush.
"Spit it out Kenny!" Tyson yelled, violently shaking the Chief.
Kai grabbed the back of Tysons coat and pulled him away from Kenny. "Ginny was captured on the way out of the stadium."
"You're joking right?" Lee said as he crossed his arms across his chest, rubbing his forearms for warmth.
"Not at all." Kai said blankly.
"But…how? I mean if she was with you…how come you're still here?" Michael asked.
"I really don't want to talk about it. Ask someone else." Kai said coldly, standing up and walking over to the fire and sitting in front of it, his back to everyone.
"Well, we deserve to be clued in Kai!" Tyson yelled.
Kai sat still with no reaction.
Tyson growled "Sometimes, I swear his parents raised him in the jungle. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON!" Tyson screamed.
"OKAY! Calm down!" Oliver said, his eyebrow twitching. "Sometimes I wonder if you were raised by babo…."
Enrique slapped his hand down over Olivers mouth, " Don't start a fight Oli." Enrique warned under his breath.
"I'll explain." Oliver said as Enrique took a seat next to him.

Ginny got barely any sleep at all. She was poked and prodded until she woke every hour by the guards. They made sure that they poked her in a bruised spot everytime. Ginny had no idea what time it was but she finally heard voices conversing down the hall. It was a murmur so she couldn't understand it, Better "pretend" I'm dying again Ginny thought.
She listened to the footsteps and finally realized she only heard one pair of feet instead of the regular two. And they weren't as heavy either. Ginny peeked open her eye to watch for this new person. The dim light in the hall was shining in her eyes,making her vison slightly impaired. To her surprise they stopped in front of her cell and opened the door.The guards had never done that before.
Ginny sat up and instantly knew who it was.
~`~`~`~`~`@--------@`~`~`~`~`~
It was later that night and Kai was still in the same spot as he was when Oliver had told his version of the story, Enrique added a few things in for effect that made Kai snort, but he stayed silent. Talking was not one of his favorite things to do, and he had already done more than he liked for the day.
It must be really late Kai thought as he looked at the clock on the wall. Piece of shit he thought again. It didn't even work. Even after Kenny had messed around with it trying to get it to tick.
Everyone else at this time were either sleeping or pretending to sleep because there was no sound in the cabin except for Tyson's snoring and the crackle of the fire. Without thinking Kai stood up and walked silently to the door. Before he got there Jonny appeared in front of him, blocking his path.
"Move." Kai hissed quietly.
"I know what you're going to do. I'm not going to stop you, but I'm just going to let you know that, if you go and if you get caught don't count on any of us bailing you. Because we might not be able to do anything to help." He said without expression, then moved aside.
Kai brushed his shoulder hard then swung open the door and started out into the cold night.
~`~`~`~`~`@--------@`~`~`~`~`~
"Tala?!" Ginny asked in shock.
"Shhhh!" he hissed. "Be quiet or my plan won't work!"
Tala said, checking over his shoulder into the hall to see if anyone had heard her. When he was satisfied he turned back to Ginny and walked into the cell.
"We have to be quick. Here's my plan. You're going to pretend you're dead. And by the looks of you it's not going to be that hard for you to pretend…."Tala said trailing off, and looking her up and down. Ginny shot him a glare then he continued. "I'm going to carry you out. All you have to do is hang limp and not move."
"That easy is it?" Ginny snorted again. She mouthed a silent oww and held her chest where it hurt.
"Yes, now come on." Tala said with his arms out and ready.
It was hard to believe that not long before he had watched her be brutally beaten. And not long before that, it had been him who had beaten her in battle, and put this pain upon herself and many others.She couldn't blame him. That was how he was raised. It was partially her fault as well for losing.
Ginny sighed. In his arms was the last place she wanted to be, but if she was going to get out of this rotten place then she'd cooperate with anyone. She wasn't sure she fully trusted him, but she painfully swung her legs up into his right arm then he grabbed her back and swung her into his arms.
Tala looked down into her eyes. Ginny stared for a nanosecond then broke the gaze. Her cheeks felt flushed. Why is he doing this to me? Ginny thought, she actually didn't mind being in his arms at all. She felt….safe…if that was at all possible.
"Hang limp now." Tala said in a hushed whisper.
Ginny loosened all her muscles so she was dead weight in his arms. She felt his muscles strain as he adjusted to the weight in his arms. She smiled slightly, good, let the bastard suffer she thought evily as she smirked, then wiped all expression off her face.
Tala carried her out of the cell and down the hall towards the entrance to the dungeons. As they passed one of the cells Ginny heard some people stir.
"What happened to Ginny!" Someone said in a loud voice.
"Shut up! Don't be so loud!" Tala hissed.
"Well what happened to her!" They said in a quiet worried tone.
"Nothing I'm fine." Ginny whispered.
Ginny opened her eyes to see Eddie, Steve, Gary and Kevin all clutching the bars. They looked as bad as she did. Or so she thought. She hadn't had time to look at herself yet.
Eddie snorted as she said this. "I really don't think you are." He looked from the gashes in her arms and legs, to the bleeding cut on her temple, then to the many bruises all over her body.
"BE quiet all of you!" Tala scolded.
"Tala, I can't just leave them here. Is there any possible way we could get them out too?" Ginny said quietly.
Tala was silent for a minute then he spoke quickly. "There is no way I could. I can't carry all of you." Tala said, looking Gary over. Ginny felt him shudder slightly, and she had to hold her laugh in, it wasn't a laughing matter, and besides, she was in too much pain to laugh.
"And there are other plans I had that I can't do with more people. I'm sorry Ginny, but no, there is no possible way." Tala said with sympathy.
"Ginny, don't worry about us, we're tough! We can hang in here until you guys can come get us." Steve said flexing, making Ginny smile.
"Ginny, here, take my blade. I managed to hide him from the guards. He'll be of more use to you guys." Kevin said as he passed his beat up beyblade through the bars.
Tala grabbed it and pocketed it. "We have to go now. You'll get this later."
Ginny fell silent again and went limp. Tala walked briskly towards the guards. They turned the corner and Tala stopped.
"Whoa! Whoa! Where you going with her?" One of them asked suspiciously.
"She's dead. I'm taking her up to the top level so they can dispose of her body, seeing as you two goons can't do your job!" Tala snarled.
"She's dead? But an hour ago…"
"Well she's dead! She must have died after you checked her. Now if you'll excuse me.." Tala said as he started to walk again.
"Wait! Wait! Let me check her pulse."
Ginny's stomach dropped, and she turned cold.
"Can't you see she's dead. Feel her skin, she's as cold as ice. And as for her pulse, I already checked it. She has none, she's dead. Excuse me while I do my job! Now concentrate on your own! Don't let anymore of these prisoners die, or Voltaire will have your heads!" Tala snapped, brushing past the two guards and down the hall.
"If we're lucky, we won't run into anyone on our way out. Most people should be sleeping." Tala whispered.
"Okay." Ginny said.
"Did I say you could talk! Your job isn't done yet! Now be dead!" Tala snapped.
Ginny growled under her breath but obediently fell silent.
~`~`~`~`~`@--------@`~`~`~`~`~
A few minutes later Tala stopped and he knocked on a door. Ginny was dying to open her eyes but decided it wasn't a good idea. The door opened and it creaked loudly. She felt Tala's muscles contract then become loose again once the creaking stopped. He walked quickly, and before Ginny knew it, he had thrown her onto something soft. She stayed silent. She didn't know who else could be there.
"You can move now. It's safe." A soft voice said.
Ginny's eyes shot open and there was Brenda, on the edge of the bed. Ginny sat up and saw Tala rushing around quickly. He was looking for something, but Ginny couldn't figure what it was.
"Tala, what are you looking for, and umm, why haven't we left yet?" Ginny asked, then immediately regretting the question.
"Never mind!" Tala snapped. He seems to be really uptight for a young person, Ginny thought, but then again, maybe he was always like that.
"Just be patient." Brenda said, patting her hand gently.
Tala rushed around then threw open his closet doors. He rummaged around until he found 2 dark pieces of material. Or at least that's what Ginny saw.
He chucked one piece of the material to Ginny. Ginny held it up in front of her eyes and saw that it was a cloak, like all of the people at the abbey wore. "And, what is this for?" Ginny asked, with one eybrow raised.
"It's cold out you know, and we're in Russia in case you hadn't noticed." Tala shot coldly.
"Well sorry!" Ginny shot back. She pulled the heavy cloak on over her ripped clothes. She stood up, letting the cloak fall. It reached the floor, with a lot of extra material.
"Let's go." Tala said quietly, as he threw his hood up.
Ginny pulled her hood up, waved to Brenda then followed Tala. He lead her through the abbey. Ginny couldn't keep track of how many turns they had taken, or how many flights of stairs they had gone up. Just as Ginny felt she couldn't take the pain anymore, she was lead into a room she had been in before. It was when they had first met Boris, when Tyson had battled Alexander. Tala quickened his pace, making Ginny have to jog painfully to keep up with his stride.
"Slow down!" Ginny cried. Tears were streaming donw her face. Her ribs hurt so badly, she could barely breath. Her legs ached, and she could feel something trickling down her leg. Blood, from the cuts on her thighs she guessed, they were throbbing. Her head pounded and she felt like she were going to faint. She wobbled violently. Tala turned and pulled her to her feet.
"It's not far now. Then I can carry you." Tala said reassuringly.
Ginny held her head, and nodded slightly. Then she began to walk slowly as Tala held her shoulders.
The rest of the escape was a blurr. She could barely see anymore. She knew when they were outside though, as soon as they walked outside the coldness threatened to freeze her completely. They walked stealthly, along the outside wall until they came to the entrance to the abbey. They moved quickly out the gate, then into the surrounding woods.
Ginny immediately collapsed.
Tala reached to pull Ginny up, but before he had her hand, someone had tackled him to the ground.
