Chapter 6: Confrontation
Alicia went back to her Neohome early. Her talk with Teena had troubled her, and she needed to think carefully. 'Why did everything have to be so confusing?' she thought in despair, thinking about Shoyru Day and the note. She still had a month to find out about everything.
"Chyora! I'm back!" Alicia called.
"Chyora?" She looked around the house. There was no one there. Her voice echoed eerily throughout her big Neohome. It suddenly felt very big and empty. Where was Chyora? 'He should be at home.' She thought worriedly. Then, she heard the door opening, and in walked Chyora…with a trophy? He froze on seeing her, guilt written over his face.
Marching up, she took the trophy from his paws. Reading the words carefully, she was shocked at what she saw. "Congratulations on beating Punchbag Bob!" it read.
"What-is-the-meaning-of-this?" She asked her voice cold with shock and anger.
"I…I…" He stammered. He hadn't expected this. She was supposed to return two hours later. He lowered his head in shame, fidgeting uncomfortably. With a single gesture, she threw the trophy onto the ground. It shattered into pieces. Chyora flinched, regretting what he had done. He treasured his relationship with his owner very much, he did not want to ruin it. But it was too late.
"I'm sorry." He whispered miserably. Alicia walked off without another word. He stared at the broken fragments on the ground. Close to tears, he carefully swept them up, tossing them into the dustbin.
Alicia was extremely angry. Her own Neopet had deceived her. She hated the idea of Neopets fighting, and had made it very clear. She did not want Chyora to go to the battledome. Yet he had done so. She was so disappointed. She thought that she could trust him. She picked up the phone and made a call.
"Teena? Sorry to bother you now, but something's cropped up. I can't go to the pound for sometime. How long? I'm not quite sure. A month at least. I'll try to come back as soon as possible. I know, its bad timing, but this is really important. Thanks Teena Goodbye." She cleared up some matters. Now Chyora wouldn't have the opportunity to go to the battledome. Still boiling with anger, she decided to take a stroll. It would help her to cool down.
Coming out of the room, she noted that the trophy fragments had been swept up. 'Probably to repair it.' She thought maliciously. She still couldn't get over the fact that Chyora had betrayed her trust in him. She went out of her house, locking the door behind her.
Chyora went into his room. Alicia had given him his own room several months ago. He had been ecstatic when she had handed the keys to his room. The room itself had been made of the finest material a Neohome could be made of. His was the only room to enjoy such luxury. It was to be his own private room, which he could decorate in any way he wanted.
The walls had been painted black with silver stars speckled on it. A poster of his favourite band was plastered on the door (facing inside). His comfy bed, in his favourite style, lay in the room, blankets and pillows arranged nicely by the robot Acara she had bought for him. There was a CD player and a whole shelve, neatly organized, full of his favourite songs. Boxes to fill with trinkets, a computer, games…he had everything he could ask for. All of it she had bought for him. And he had betrayed her.
He flung himself onto his bed, blinking away his tears. He really didn't mean to do that. He was just so desperate to beat his previous owner. He wanted to prove himself, to show that he was worth something. He wanted to have revenge. Extremely unhappy, he lay on his bed and cried himself to sleep.
Alicia sprinted away, trying to burn up the anger she felt. A quick glance told her she had left her Neohome far behind. She slowed down her pace, but still continued to walk rapidly. Finally, she stopped near a big tree, panting.
'Why? Why did this have to happen?' She thought sadly. She sat near the edge of the tree and cried. She cried long and hard, letting out her sadness and rage. She slammed her fists into the hard bark of the tree, not caring that it hurt.
"Here." A kind voice said. Looking up though blurred eyes, she only saw the handkerchief offered to her.
"Thanks." She mumbled, wiping her face. She didn't even notice when the chemicals in the handkerchief kicked in and she faded into darkness.
"Too easy." A dry voice said. The figure picked her up easily and in a flash of light disappeared.
