24 hours before ...
It had been three weeks since that sad night, but no member of that group ara willing to surrender.
Yet, despite all they tried to force one or the other friend, the more time passed and more they were afraid.
Since the three singers had been kidnapped had become habit together to look for clues, but every time they seemed to be closer to the truth, it seemed to dissolve like a cloud blown away by the wind.
"Enough is enough," said Takao slamming his hand on the desk and snapping upright.
How many things he had to say to his Hilary, but above all he was missing.
He felt guilty because that night had left her alone.
He felt guilty, but also unnecessary.
He had no idea who they were and where the kidnappers had taken his girlfriend.
The whole group gave her a sympathetic look at the dark, especially Ozuma and Yuri, who were equally concerned.
The two young athletes spent their sleepless nights, and without saying a word by working together, and their research seemed to have them brought to a conclusion.
They exchanged a knowing look, and the boy took Mariam word.
"Remember that night in Mexico? Yuri and I believe that those guys who attacked us have kidnapped our girls."
There was a moment of silence broken only by breathing, while in the minds of high school students overlapped thousand questions.
"But we have not seen them in the face" Yuri said in a voice cold and detached, even though he felt an unpleasant sensation that could not give a name.
"But those spies" Takao muttered sadly.
They had a lead, but they had the means.
"We have to find them," he asserted Yuri with a commanding tone.
He had not the slightest idea where to start, but would try until the loss of all his strength.
He just wanted to find Julia and hug her, but above all hoped that she was alive.
All group I looked at the three guys with a quizzical expression, but they were all willing to help their friends.
Meanwhile, in that gloomy cell the three singers were developing a plan.
"Have you ever heard of the Stockholm syndrome?" He asked Hilary with a low timbre and scrutinizing her friends watching her with an uncertain expression.
"It Hilary, but what hits?" talking was Mariam.
He could not understand where he was going with her friend.
From what she knew that disorder consisted of a stage of regression which included the identification with their tormentor, arousing feelings "affectionate".
But maybe he had a good idea.
"You want to pretend a kind of emotional bond with someone?" He asked again the corvina.
The brown smirked and nodded.
"Maybe if I explained I would do a favor" Julia said with exasperation.
"It's simple: you know the jailer, the young and cute? We could pretend a kind of innammoramento for him, and while one will pretend to flirt with him the other two will put on the carpet. I noticed that brings with it several keys and then ... deliver us "Hilary concluded with a satisfied tone.
The three girls exchanged a knowing look, and together they set the details.
Soon the boy came in that filthy room, and Julia began to do the soppy with the torturer who seemed to enjoy the attention.
But as soon as she was inside the room he was taken aback by the two girls who landed with a few moves.
They held hands, giving rise to their drive for freedom.
They began to feel hope reborn stronger than ever.
They were not going to give up, they ran up to a junction and closer they got to the exit and more felt the temperature rise.
A man about one meter high and nineties followed by two more came out of nowhere, his face was painted an evil grin and all reassuring.
The trio instinctively backed away, and then resume running.
They were afraid, but they had no intention of surrendering.
"Where do you think the young ladies go" he asserted a figure come out of nowhere.
"Go" said the three in unison.
But unfortunately their flight was over because they had been encircled, and then be sent back to that hovel.
"Why? Why all this?" Mariam said angrily as he held the arm on which he landed.
"You've ruined a job'd been working on for months, and now you will die here," she asserted the man locking the cell, and then disappeared moments later.
Ozuma Mariam was in the room, did not even know why he had wanted to go there, but had reached that house unconsciously.
That room reminded him everything about her and all the moments spent with his girlfriend.
He sat on the bed and held her a puppet of the singer in search of her perfume.
He did not want to collapse, he wanted to be strong for her, wanted that reality was just a bad dream.
He hoped that she was alive, but he was afraid of making a mistake also because he had no news of her friends.
His thoughts were also with Hilary and Julia with whom he had shared many good times, helping him even when he created that mess with Mariam.
It was unreal to go to trial, not to hear the voices of the girls who were joking and then involve him.
"What are you doing here?" Jessie asked with tears in his eyes holding hands Eveline, who was still pouring sad tears.
"I do not even know I was looking for the presence of your sister here," the boy admitted lowering his eyes to slits.
Admit the truth made him feel weak, and talk about that absence had made real.
"I come here often, and I want to find her. I want to participate in research," the boy said with a firm voice and taking a seat next to his friend.
Although he would never admit he missed her sister and a desire to help was very strong.
After all, she was his confidante and also her best friend, and without her he felt a huge void in the heart.
"You told her you?" He asked Ozuma addressing Eveline with a harsh tone.
The blonde tried to hold back tears, and mumbled several sentences rambling.
"She is my best friend"
The two students joined hands in search of a consolation.
They were there, together, united by the same thoughts.
"The two of us do not talk for a while ', but she needs us, and I need a friend."
"Me too," said Eveline embracing the boy.
Drummer Jessie stared for a moment and trying to hold back her emotions she said:
"You will participate to the research, but do not hurt yourself."
"I miss" the three said in unison and in an embrace wept all their emotions.
It was the first time that Ozuma crying, and it was horrible, but at least he was not alone.
Takao was in his bedroom set completely upside down.
He felt frustrated and at that time did not know what to do, if not destroy everything.
He meant so much to Hilary, for example, that would study together at Brown, telling her that he loved her truly, but she was not there.
In all that mess he had been trying to make sense of those days, and he realized his dream.
He felt he had to do for his girlfriend with whom he had had a little discussion about the future on the day of the kidnapping.
Suddenly he saw a small paper plane fly before his eyes, he looked out on the balcony and saw a figure perched on a tree.
He was sure it was the same girl who had saved them in Mexico.
The blonde waved with one hand, and with a quiet voice said:
"Read the ticket."
Soon after he came down and disappeared into thin air.
Takao had stood with one hand raised, unable to do anything. After a few moments he collected from the atmosphere unreal and rushed the child.
Read the content quickly, and soon took the phone, he saw the various chat whatsapp then find the group that was looking for the research created a few days after the announcement of the kidnapping.
-I Have an address that could take us to our friends! -
-For real? How the hell did you do? - He wrote Yuri typing the message with a skeptical expression on her face.
He was not sure of the words of Takao, but would do anything to resolve the situation.
-What Are you talking Takao? - And asked Rei Mao simultaneously.
They were both curious to find out what was going on, but also eager to regain the three cheerleaders with them.
-Dacci Address Kinomiya, you get into action, immediately. - Wrote the Russian red tired of those discussions.
She wanted to go into action and beat the kidnappers.
They had touched a person dear to him and he had no intention to let him get away.
-Takao The address. Now! - Ozuma wrote while he was diverting the way to the house of his friend.
- Come to my house, get organized and bring them girls forty.
"Sure you will?" Crystal asked in a whisper.
"Absolutely sure, and then we need their help.
Do not know what the state is, "he said Queen moving furtively in a corridor.
They were months that followed the three girls in the shadows, specifically since the last had been saddled with its partners.
He had to continue to play the role of the witch to protect the trio, and had to save them.
He knew that to explain what was the truth would have been difficult, but in the end it was worth it.
Also because those girls were her friends.
"We're here," she asserted the light blonde with coldness and pulling out a small bomb that threw away.
They had to draw attention to something else so he can reach the cell of the three girls.
"Great diversion" said the raven began to run toward the target.
"Duty" replied the other smiling satisfied.
Save her friends seemed to be the right thing to do, especially to his brother.
They arrived in front of a fake wall that shortly after they managed to croak.
"Girls are here?" They cried the two girls.
All those sounds, those voices seemed to be the fruit of their imagination.
Someone had come to save them, they shouted desperate.
"We are here".
There was another noise followed by seconds of silence, until they saw the light. They were not alone, maybe they were really prejudice.
"Quick" Crystal said in a tone that brooked no argument and stretching his arm toward the girls.
The two spies made sure that the same trio and in a few moments began their mad and desperate race to freedom.
They heard gunshots behind them, and a bullet wound smear Queen groaned in pain, but trying not to give weight to that pain pretended to feel good.
They heard more shots, then silence again.
Behind them was something going on, but none of the five was willing to look at what was happening.
"Hilary, where are you?" Takao yelled throwing a knockout man, the last of that group.
Takao was there, his Takao was there.
Instinctively he called the boy's name, and the group soon found himself, and together they went out of the prison, back to freedom, while the building was blazing fire.
They were free at last.
The trio began to scan the environment wet from the rain with an absorbed.
"Hilary" muttered Takao embracing his girlfriend with a burst.
The brown crying, venting all his frustrations into the arms of the student.
They were together again, and the whole world seemed to stand still.
Jessie ran to her sister holding her.
He would not allow anyone to ever take it away.
They did not say anything, they were tight for a long time, while Ozuma slid his gaze between his sister and girlfriend.
"How do you do this?" he asked alongside the blonde with a worried tone.
"Broken, but I train for years," said the blond clutching the hand of his partner, who looked tired and proven.
She liked that job, and he was not going to give up after all she'd been through.
Queen fell to the ground unconscious from his injuries, and shortly after he was taken to hospital.
It had been a week of their release and return to freedom had been difficult.
Julia and Hilary moved always together between the school corridor, while Mariam had decided to keep company with the Queen, who was still hospitalized.
They had not yet become aware of the Queen because she was present in those missions, and were slowly getting used to not regard it as an enemy.
At first they did not pay much attention to the corvina that night, and only a few days after they had realized that they had been saved by one who still considered an enemy.
Julia broke away from Hilary -which was reached by Takao- to go to the library.
He felt a strange presence behind him, and he feared that someone wanted to harm her.
He entered quickly in the school library, and tried to disappear among the shelves, when he felt someone touch her shoulder.
Instinctively he turned, and without paying attention to the tracker, managed to bend a boy's arm behind his back.
"Fernandez" hissed Yuri unstressed.
The Spanish singer became immediately flushed with embarrassment, partly because it was the first time I reacted like that.
"Yuri ..." she said in a voice more relaxed but still stuck holding the arm of the red.
"Do not you think you should let me free? Or maybe these are your new crazes perverse?" He said the red with a sarcastic voice, despite that situation amused him.
The Spanish left the boyfriend, and quickly stepped in front of Moscow.
That guy had really missed and still could not believe I'm here with him.
He clung to the Russian inhaling the scent of the young man, who began to stroke her hair.
"You're different," he asserted.
He wanted to talk to his girlfriend, but did not want to ask anything, partly because he wanted her to talk and waiting for her to say something.
"What do you mean?" She asked the singer.
"Your smile is different. Off I would say," said the Muscovite with a serious expression on his face.
She was amazed by what he was telling her boyfriend, burst into tears and so emotionally charged.
He said nothing, just listened without interrupting the speech of his Julia, and without realizing it he said:
"I was afraid".
The brown Yuri stared with disbelief.
He could not believe that his cold and unsociable boyfriend had told her something nice, or at least by the standards of the young man that was a sweet phrase, and that Julia knew that.
"I love you" whispered the cheerleader laying his lips on those of Russian.
That feeling was beating her for a long time, and had decided to declare his feelings.
"I love you" murmured the red kissing him.
At that time nothing was more important: there were only them.
Mariam was in his room to study, or at least he tried.
On his bed he reigned absolute chaos: books right in disarray, papers scattered everywhere, notebooks open, others closed, all while trying to organize a program to recover the three weeks of absence at school.
It was less than a month at the end of the school, and had no intention to undermine the very bad experience that his school career.
Someone knocked on the door of his room, and without knowing who told him to come.
"Hello," she whispered Ozuma with a sweet tone.
He could not believe that she was his girlfriend, also because he was used to seeing her dressed otherwise.
At that time his hair was tied back in a messy braid, a simple white T-shirt and jeans shorts and no makeup, but was still beautiful.
"I brought you homework" continued the young man taking a seat next to the singer.
"Thank you," she whispered the corvina giving a gentle kiss to her boyfriend.
"News of the Queen?" Ozuma asked with a quiet tone.
He had so much things to say to his girlfriend, but he wanted to wait for her to say something.
"It is out today from the hospital and told me the truth about everything.
That if Mexico had been delayed for months, but in the end it happened to us because we were there, even though we were already selected. Queen and your sister were following us from a few days to see what would happen, and after all that has happened these guys have escaped and we have recognized. "
It was frustrating to find out the truth in that way, also because his grandfather did not hesitate to lie to her again and risking his life.
"We're the best," said Ozuma with a playful tone.
"Of course," she said, grimacing in disgust.
He was not going to ask any more questions, partly because he knew that if he wanted to know something by his girlfriend had to wait for her to speak of her own accord.
The corvina lay on the bed and motioned to her boyfriend to imitate.
He meant a lot to her boyfriend, but could not find the words.
He took a deep breath and shifted relaxing on his side, and he did the same by putting an arm on the back of Mariam.
Both were lost in their eyes and the singer hid her face in the crook of neck Ozuma.
"It was horrible. Aside from the injuries, I can say I think not to go out from that place, I can not see the people I care about.
It was the worst of my life. "
Only a few drops fell from salted emerald eyes of the singer, and he held her.
It was strange to see his girlfriend in that state.
She always appeared cool, detached and self-confident he was in his arms in absolute silence.
At that moment it seemed a puppy, his puppy, so in need of affection. He loved her very much and would not allow most anyone to take it away.
"I love you, Mariam" he said softly.
The girl pulled back slightly, and with shining eyes and a soft voice said:
"Me too".
And they kissed, and then reach a world that belonged only to the two of them.
That morning in the big house of Mariam seemed to have unleashed pandemonium.
The young and Jessie ran like tops on either side of the house to help parents who were finally married.
They were both happy that event so important to them and that finally would make them again a united family, although this was only a formality since the pair of adults lived in the house for several months.
"Hello sister," said the boy with green hair, entering without knocking into his sister's room.
"It knocks" she said with a sour tone but smiling.
"And so finally the old men marry" said the little family with a cheerful tone.
He had suffered from the absence of his father, but that absence had grown quickly, and allowed him to tie a lot with her sister.
In the past, when he was very small, some children had teased because he had a father, and several times he had been fighting with classmates, but when he came home often found himself crying on the shoulders of his sister.
She had always shown strong and had never cried despite its intention to do so, and yet, steeling himself intervened a few days later against the bullies of his brother.
He was grateful for all he had done for her, and did not know how to tell him.
"Have you talked to Dad?" Mariam asked with a serious tone that made her laugh Jessie.
The boy pretended an upright position, and with a solemn tone he said:
"Of course."
The raven stared at fifteen, and seconds later the threw a pillow over his face, and together they began to laugh.
"But what you're stupid, Jess? Now come on and help me to connect this odious dress."
"What, however, makes you seem almost cute," he retorted with a playful tone.
The Boy with Green Hair raised his zip blue dress, and asked:
"The surprise is confirmed?".
"Obviously," he said Mariam wearing shoes and then satisfied smile to his brother.
He knew he had made a small gift to his parents and was happy to share that moment with his brother, even though they had been helped by Julia, also invited to the event.
The ceremony was long, but not boring, and the two brothers had played the roles of a maid and a witness, trying a lot of joy in their hearts when their parents had delivered on their promises and the "You" that had united again.
The new family went inside the place chosen for the reception, where they were greeted by warm applause.
The four seemed a fairy tale, everything was perfect, and during a break Mariam nodded to his brother to follow, leaving the parents astonished.
After several minutes they both changed, and the room got dark arousing the curiosity of the guests.
"First of all thanks to Julia Fernandez for the song, which was supposed to be a duet with Ozuma, but this is a little surprise for our parents," said Mariam in the dark.
Sweet music began to be heard in the room, while a light illuminated the two young men at the center of the room.
The boy began to get closer to his sister as he sang.
He was really happy to sing with her for the first time, especially in that event.
Together, holding hands, they reached the small stage and began to sing the chorus of the song in perfect synchronization.
They hoped with all their hearts that liked that little gift to their parents, who watched the scene moved.
Hilary and Tyson were walking under the stars, while inside the wedding was taking place.
They felt good and neither was about to break the silence by uttering the word.
"You know Hils" Takao said in a tone unusually serious.
He was about to tell him something important, and he knew that would make the girl happy.
But despite this he was afraid that his girlfriend had changed his mind.
He began to torture her fingers, and quickly said:
"I will go to Brown University."
The brown put her hands over her mouth.
He is waiting for this news for a long time and seemed to be able to touch the sky with a finger.
She hugged her boyfriend with a momentum, and both fell tumbling to the ground, but both began to laugh merrily, oblivious of the curious glances.
"You're crazy, but you do not know how much fear I had for you," Harry said with an excited voice and clutching the body of brown.
"But now I'm here thanks to you" whispered Hilary on the lips of her boyfriend.
They were together again, and there was nothing more perfect.
That experience negative had united all couples and strengthened their feelings.
Sometimes they felt lost, but no one had ever given up for love and friendship between the group of students set off the Beyblade High School, and now everyone would face the ultimate test of that year ... together.
