Back in action with writing.
Blake was sleeping peacefully.
The whole day was in a way exhausting for everyone.
The others searching for the new addition to their small group, Mist. While at that time she was surrounded with interesting books. And books in generally exhaust people so the rest was well deserved.
During her sleep she made a tiny smile. The peace was still surrounding her, until it decided to leave her and betray her at the same time.
The mysterious voice could be heard again in Blake's head.
"Save me child! Save me from the chains!" the voice was saying and repeated it at least thirteen times.
Blake started sweating.
"Please stop." Blake whispered weakly.
"You must find me and free me from the chains." the voice echoed in her mind till it faded slowly till it disappeared.
Blake has awoken herself immediately and stood up.
"What is this voice?" she thought looking at the greyish black Gundalian sky.
She was up for some time till she got tired and got to sleep again.
The rest of the night was peaceful and quiet.
The next day she was the first one to be awake.
She did her routine and went to get the leftovers from yesterday for breakfast.
She started eating and by the time she was about to finish Jean entered.
He yawned.
"Morning Blake." he said.
"Morning." and she was back to finishing her food.
Jean went to the fridge. He was trying to get some food, but there was any. Then he looked at Blake with moody eyes.
"Did you just ate everything?"
Blake nodded.
Jean had a face full of shock. This food was for five people with five normal sized portions. This girl literally had a black hole for a stomach. Jean brushed this aside and got himself a cup of milk and sat near Blake.
"Why did you went so suddenly yesterday to sleep? What happened?" he asked.
Blake was caught off-guard.
"Nothing." she answered.
She wasn't in the mood to talk or tell what happened yesterday. She was going to be considered mentally unstable, which she wasn't.
"Is that so?" he was obviously suspicious.
She nodded and went to the door fast. She grabbed her shoes and walked very fast just to avoid the talk with Jean. She wasn't sure what was going to happen. To be honest she was scared of telling him, but the scarier part now is that she is walking alone in the streets of Gundalia.
"Now what to do? I'm out after all." she wondered and walked at the same time.
Without realizing she bumped into a rather tall guy with long hair.
The guy averted his gaze towards her.
They stared at each other for seconds then returned walking away.
"Excuse me." she said at the time the guy was still close but enough far away.
The guy was now long gone.
She let out a phew.
"That was weird." she thought.
The mood for being out died very fast. She wanted to quickly meet with the others.
While she was walking, she met with Jean by a coincidence.
"Finally found you." he said with a relief and rubbed her hair.
She was annoyed by this. Jean chuckled.
"Yeah it seems so."
Jean returned his serious expression.
"Why did you ghosted so fast today?"
She lost her speech.
"Well I was scared." she admitted while trying not to look him in the eyes.
"You can tell me why, I'm not going to judge you." Jean said with a sad smile and tried to sound reassuringly.
"Ok, I will tell you, but I don't want you to think me for insane person." she said in a sad tone.
"I told you I won't." he answered.
"I am hearing voices inside my head." She poker faced.
Jean had a slight frown.
Leucrota was on his shoulder and was in thought of something.
"Hmm. It seems that a certain one is trying to get herself free." The Haos bakugan thought.
Blake had a worried expression.
"It's ok. What did the voice told you?" he asked with a normal facial expression.
"It repeated save me at least thirteen times and the voice also mentioned something about chains. That's all I remember and heard." she said.
Jean hmmed.
"Interesting."
Jean's bakugan sighed.
"It definitely seems like her. Ophelia what are you thinking currently with this one."
"You don't think I'm insane, because of what I told you, right." she whispered.
"No I don't. Think of it as a phase. It will end eventually." he smiled.
"I hope so." she retorted leaving an echo whisper in her mind.
"Good. Now let's go back. Kat got extremely worried about you."
Blake sweat dropped and nodded.
They walked quietly towards their shelter.
They entered. Kat literally jumped in front of Blake and hugged her.
Blake couldn't breath at all.
"Kat, please release me. I can't feel my lungs."
And Kat heard the opposite. She tightened the hug even more.
"Too late. Goodbye people. It was nice knowing you." she pretended to overdramatically die until Rex literally removed Kat from Blake.
Blake was coughing and trying to regain her normal breath.
"Why did you have to suffocate her?" asked Rex with concern and boredom in his voice.
"I wanted to hug someone." she had anime happy tears and tried hugging herself.
Rex sweat dropped.
"You could have hugged me." Rex chuckled.
Kat's expression changed in seconds to a big grin and was in a position to start chasing Rex, but Jean interfered.
"Guys we don't have much time." Jean said in normal to serious tone.
"Why is that?" asked Mist dumbfounded.
Rex followed Mist's pattern.
"Same question." said Rex.
Blake just give a look for some seconds.
"You may wonder why are you here …" Jean started then he was interrupted at the middle of the sentence.
"Just get straight to the point." Mist said with boredom and by the tone of her voice, she was going to become a Gundalian snake.
Jean sighed.
"New world." he simply said.
"New world?!" Mist and Rex repeated confused.
"Yeah. You may not know it but the Elites among the Gundalians kill bakugan and it will result in extinction in the bakugan race." Leucrota said with disgust.
Jean and Katrine were with serious faces.
Mist was shocked from those news. She never imagined something like that happening.
But Rex on the other hand had a new reason to hate.
Blake had her never resting poker face.
"I just can't believe this. I travelled a lot and yet those news came so suddenly. I feel like I was living under a rock." Mist gasped.
"Those bastards. They took away what I had as a family. I lost it." clenched fists Rex.
The atmosphere was tense and Jean decided to break it down a little.
"So are you in all of you?" he asked.
"Count us in. We shall stop the bakugan from getting extinct." Mist spoke loudly.
"What she said." repeated Rex with a chill tone.
And they high fived ready for the adventure until Mist noticed something.
"How are we going to do that four of us? I do not count her since she doesn't have a bakugan." Mist was wondering.
Katrine left a hmm from her mouth.
"Yet. I will find soon one." retorted Blake.
Inside she had a smirk that was trying not to escape.
And she left to one of the darker parts of the place with no one to bother her.
"Only if all of them knew I brawled before. Can't wait to see their reactions once they find out. It will be interesting." she had a grin that lasted for some time.
She calmed herself and a saddened expression was on her face now.
"Keith." once she told this name a guilt resurfaced in her.
The way she abandoned him. She couldn't forgive herself.
He has probably forgotten her or so she thought.
And that's the end of this chapter and the semi-fun chapters. The real deal will begin.
