* I do not own any rights.*
Her P.O.V.
During our train ride I was silent while the others chatted and looked out the windows, getting more excited as we drew closer to Moscow. I grew more and more nervous and tense as we got closer. Please let everything just be all in my head.
Once we reach our station, Tyson as usual, runs off before any of us can tell him that he need a coat. Hilary and I end up shaking our heads while the others laugh at him and toss Tyson a coat. I look around the station as we get off the train and head to our hotel. We seemed to have taken a wrong turn and turn back around. As we walk, Tyson and the others stop to watch some kids blading. Kenny was amazed at how popular blading was. Tyson seemed to scare the kids and one ran off. We were to busy watching Tyson make a fool of himself that we didn't notice the kid that ran off was back with an adult.
"You must be the Bladebreakers." They guys all looked towards where the voice came from. I froze upon hearing that voice. It was the voice from my nightmares. I feel myself tense and look at my feet, making sure to stay behind the guys. I clench my fist as Boris introduces himself and invites us to come in for some lunch. I try to act like its not bothering me, that my nightmares are crashing to reality as I follow after my team. I whisper to Hilary to stay close to the team, that this place gives me the creeps. She nods and makes sure to keep close. As we walk into the abbey, the kids glare at the boys, but seem to narrow their eyes more at Hilary and I. "Girls are weak." Rings through my head from my memory or dreams, I couldn't tell any more.
After lunch, we exit in the court yard, where there are young bladers training. My gut tightens as Boris explains to the guys that he chooses boys at a young age to come here to train, and only the top students graduates. Tyson says it would be boring to train all day long, and that earns him a challenge. Which Tyson accepts. We follow Boris to one of their dishes and asks for a boy named Alexander to face Tyson. The other kids all look at the Bladebreakers with emotionless faces, I don't like this place one bit.
The kid is tougher then he first seemed, he was fast and hitting Tyson from all angels. Alexander was even able to start a tornado in the dish, causing Tyson's blade to wobble. Max reminded Tyson of an earlier match that he had, where Max was able to steal the rotation from another blade. Max's advice seemed to help Tyson win the match, tossing the kids blade out of the dish. That's when things turned dark, Boris stepped on the kid's blade, crushing it to pieces. Tyson, Rae and Max were stunned and keeps saying it was just a game. Boris snapped his fingers and some guards came into the room. I clenched my fists as the boys face looked frightened, and bagged Boris not to let them take him. I knew what was going to happen as the dragged the pleading boy away, but there was nothing we could do for him. "Guys, we should just get out of here and not think about what just happened." My voice shaky as I look at my feet, the others looking at me stunned. "How can you say that?" Tyson shouted at me, as Boris laughed. "It's better to accept what happened and move on. Isn't that so, Meilin." Him saying my name caused me to look up at this man. My fears becoming a reality. I try to hide all fear from my face as the other's gasp, wondering how he knows me. Boris' laugh makes me feel sick as I turn to leave, the others following after me.
I wanted to get as far away from that place as possible. I was walking fast, not watching where I was going and not caring where I was going. The others were having troubles keeping up calling after me. Once I felt like I was far away enough, I sighed and leaned against a building and let the others catch up. My whole body was trembling from everything sinking in. Why was I back here? I shuffled my feet in the snow as Tyson yelled at me. "What was that all about back there?" I didn't know what to say, so I kept staring at my feet. Which pissed Tyson off more. He grabbed the front of my jacket and caused me to look at him. Rae put a hand on his arm, and Tyson just looked at me and let me go. "It has to do with your nightmares, doesn't it?" Rae asked softly and all I could do was nod. I was trying so hard to hold myself together. The rest of the way to the hotel was silent.
His P.O.V.
Boris had called a meeting and told us that he just had a visit from the Bladebreakers. He told us how Tyson defeated his son, Alexander. Boris told us what had happened to his son and they collected data from the battle. He wanted Tala to study Tyson's battle moves. He than gave the rest of us who we would be facing. I was to study Rae's moves, Ian to study Max Brain was to study Meilin. I felt a ping of anger when I heard that Brain was going to go against a girl. Brain just seemed to smirk and lick his lips, which caused Tala to clench his fist and glare at Brian.
I still couldn't understand why everyone seemed to remember this girl except for me. It was driving me mental. I shook my head and focused on studying my enemy, Rae. Rae seemed to be a strong opponent, but no one would defeat me. I studied his bit beast that he calls Drigger, a tiger. This will be a piece of cake. Tala and I are the best on this team, followed by Brain. Nothing will stand in our way.
I glace over to the videos that Brain is watching. I forget that I'm suppose to be studying Rae, but I seem not to be able to look away from the girl on the screen. Flashbacks seem to flash before my eyes of a girl yelling at me and then a fire and me fainting. I shake my head and look back at what Brain is watching. Could it be true that I know her? That a girl was at this abbey once?
I notice that Boris is also watching the videos with Brian. They both seem to have a sick and twisted look on their faces. I feel like they're up to something, and for some reason it makes my stomach tense. I don't notice that I am glaring at them while clenching my teeth and making a fist. Tala snaps me back to earth, noticing the way I am looking at Brain and Boris.
"I don't know what they are up to, but I don't like it. And judging by your posture, you don't either." I looked at Tala from the corner of my eye. He was right, Tala has been always right. "So, what do we do?" Tala seemed to smile at me, before narrowing his eyes. "Protect her."
Her P.O.V.
We had a free day today, Max was going to meet his mom at the bus stop, while Rae went and explored parks. Tyson and Kenny were going to go check out some local bladers and Hilary was going to go shopping. I decided that I rather not leave my room and just be alone as I let all my memories turned to nightmares, sink in.
I sigh and look out my window. Maybe I should go out and explore. It would be better than being cooped up in here. I throw on some track pants and a thick sweater, as well as boots, mitts and a jacket and head out to explore. The snow seemed to make everything look pretty. I stop to look at some evergreen trees, smelling the fresh scent of pine. I smile to myself and lean on the metal fence that seems to cage the trees in.
"Breath taking, isn't it." I feel myself tense at hearing a voice. I turn to see who it was and see a boy with icy blue eyes and funny red hair, kind of styled to look like horns. I blink at him as I remember him as one of the boys that helped me when I was little. I backed away from him slightly, who knows if he's still that kind. The abbey as a way of changing people.
He noticed me back away from him and placed his hands up, palms facing me. "I'm not going to hurt you." I watched him and raised a brow at him, still unsure. "I'm here to warn you." "How did you find me?" I couldn't think straight. He seemed to sigh and run a hand through his red hair. "I followed you from the hotel. Which is good. It could have been just as easily one of the others." I tensed, knowing he meant Boris or Brian. "Won't you get in trouble for coming to warn me?" Tala just shrugged. "I'm not to worried."
He seems to smile at me and I look at him curiously. He seemed to notice my look and laughed softly. "I'm just surprised that you remembered." My gut tightened and I looked at the snow. "I didn't till we visited the abbey. I kept thinking it was just nightmares, but now I know that my nightmares are reality." Tala placed a hand lightly on my back. It felt comforting and I turn to look at the blue eyed Russian. "Does he remember me? Does he remember anything from that night?" Tala spoke softly to me. "He's starting to." I smiled, feeling a little bit of hope. "I should walk you back to your hotel, it's getting late." I nod and hook arms with him as we walk together, back to my hotel.
I'm glad Tala found me and was able to give me some hope and warn me to be careful. Who knows what those two would want to do to me. I know Boris enjoyed me as a toy, and I wouldn't put it past him that he intends to again.
Back in the hotel, they guys tell me the White Tigerz and the All Stars teams are here for the tournament as well. Hilary shows off all the clothes that she bought today shopping and I told them that I ended up enjoying a walk around a park. Everyone seemed happy and excited for the matches to start tomorrow. I was nervous.
His P.O.V.
I watched Tala slip away like he usually does and wonder where he is off to. Could he be going to go see her? Would he risk getting in trouble? I go back to focus on my training. I don't want the others think that I am losing focus.
I was doing speed drills to make Dranzer faster, when Boris walked up to me. I called Dranzer back and looked up at Boris. He had a smug smirk on his face. "That blade isn't fast or strong enough for you, Kai." I look at my blade and then back at Boris. "Follow me, I have something for you." I follow after Boris to a room, it has a blade locked up in the middle of the room. I look at Boris. "That's Black Dranzer." Boris nods. "And its for you to use, Kai." I was shocked and walked over to it. Once Boris unlocked it, I picked the blade up.
I felt power surge through me. This is the Blade that Boris was holding in his hand that day that my Grandfather had come to speak to us. "This blade was made for a strong blader, Kai." I looked up at Boris, guessing Tala wasn't strong enough to handle it and I smirk. Boris and I head back to the training room and I go straight to training with Black Drazer. The power is amazing, everything about Black Dranzer is perfect.
All I focus on now is beating everyone with Black Dranzer. I don't need a team, all I need is this blade and this power. I feel myself laugh, which cause the other members of my team to look at me as if I lost it. Boris smirks at me and leaves the training room. I will be the best blader in the whole world. Once we win, I'll take on Tala and prove to him that I am stronger.
All thoughts and memories of that girl melt away, as I keep training with Black Dranzer. Only think on my mind is winning. Every time I launch this black blade, I feel myself surge with unimaginable power and its unbelievable.
Once Tala returns to training and sees my new blade, he stops giving me those weird looks and instead looked at me with shame. I'm sure he's just jealous that I got the most powerful blade and he didn't. I'm not bothered by it, all I need is this blade, no one else.
