Tragic Past 3-Ray.

Chapter Two - Arrival in Canada, and Meeting Teri and Brian.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RAY'S P.O.V~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We landed in Canada and got on a bus to our hotel. I walked in and bumped
into a boy. He had black hair and crystal blue eyes. His hair was long and
tied up like mine. In fact, he looked, just like me, except, his eyes were
blue. I recognised him then. It was my little brother, Brian. I recognisesd
him from the picture that Mom had sent. I knew that he wouldn't recognise me.
He hadn't seen me for five years. "Sorry kid." I said. If he was hear, then
so was my Father. I wasn't going to let him find me. I started to walk away.
"Ray." I turned to see Brian looking at me. I should've known better than to
think that Brian wouldn't recognise me. I smiled. He smiled back. He just ran
forward to hug me. "Hey Brian." I said. He let go of me. "If you're worried
about Father being here, then don't. Teri joined The White Tiger's when they
came back from the England Tournament. The others said that I could come with
them." Brian said. I smiled. "Don't worry about it, squirt." I said to him.
The others came in after me. "Uhm hey Ray, who's the kid?" Tyson asked. "This
is my little brother, Brian. Brian, meet my team. This Is Tyson." I said,
pointing to him. "This is our team captain Kai, and his little sister,
Hikari." I said pointing to Kai and Hikari, who was hyper again. "This is
Max." I said, pointing to the hyperactive blond, that Hikari was chasing.
"This is Kenny, and Dizzi." I said. Kenny raised his hand. "Hello." Dizzi
said. "Wow. Your computer talks." Brian said in awe. "Actually, his bit-beast
talks. Dizzi is inside the laptop." I said. Brian smiled. I know what he was
thinking. How on earth did he manage it. Cherry walked in just then. Her cane
was tapping on the marble floor. "Over here Cherry." Tyson called her. She
walked over in our direction. It always amazed me, how good her hearing was.
I walked over to Cherry. "You O.K. Cherry?" I asked her. "I'm fine, Ray. But
I heard extra footsteps. They weren't familliar. Who's with you?" Cherry
asked. "Your hearing, really is good." I said. I gestured to Brian. "Cherry,
this is my little brother, Brian." I said. "Nice to meet you Cherry." Brian
said. He held out his hand. Cherry grasped it nervously. She had really good
senses. "Nice to meet you too, Brian." Cherry said. "Cherry is Tyson's older
sister." I said to Brian. He nodded.

Then I saw the White Tigers come into the hotel. And Teri. Teri hadn't
changed much, since I had last seen her. She'd just grown up more. She was
wearing fingerless, blue, leather gloves, a pair of jeans, a top like
Mariah's, except it was deep blue with red trim, black boots and a red
cardigan, which was tied around her waist. Her strawberry blond hair, was
shoulder-length and was streaked with red, blue and green stripes. She wore a
pastel blue bandanna in her hair, to keep it neat. She saw me and ran over to
me. I knew what was coming, so I braced myself. She threw herself at me, and
put her arms around my neck. "Hey Teri. I missed you a lot." I said in her
ear. "I missed you too, big brother." She whispered back.

The others looked confused. "Oh sorry guys. This is my sister Teri." I said.
Letting go of her. Her crystal blue eyes looked at the team. She smiled. "I
heard that you were competing in BeyBlade Tournaments. I'm glad that you
picked a good team." Teri said. "They're not just a good team. They're good
friends too." I said. That was what she wanted to hear. She smiled widely.
showing of her pearly white teeth. I could see Kai looking at her. "Oh great.
My captain's falling for my sister." I thought as my sister decided to drag
me off somewhere. "Don't worry about it Ray." Tyson had said as Teri dragged
me out of the door. "We'll sort out your stuff. You've got a lot of catching
up to do with your brother and sister." Great I was hoping someone would save
me from my sisters weird shopping spree's. Oh well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few hours later, Teri finally finished her shopping spree. We sat down on a
bench. "Have you told them about our past?" Teri asked. "No. I know I can
trust them, but I don't know if I can cope with telling it out loud." I said.
Teri nodded. "You know that Father's been looking for you." Teri said. "Yeah.
Mom wrote me a letter. She got Mariah to give it to me." I said. Teri nodded.
"He said that if he ever found you, then he'd kill you. The day you left, he-
he-he." Teri was trailing off. "What Teri. What did he do?" I asked. I was
afraid of the answer. Teri looked like she was trying not to cry. "He beat
me so bad that I couldn't move, then he tried-he tried to-he was gonna rape
me. Mom wouldn't let him. So he-he-he-he raped her instead." Teri sad. She
looked down at the ground. I could see the unshed tears, that threatened to
spill from her eyes. Then I realised something. "What else Teri. I know there
was, so don't try to tell me that there wasn't. I know there was, so tell me.
What else happened?" I asked. Already I was sickened. But I knew that she had
to get it off of her chest.

She looked at me. The unshed tears were gleaming in her eyes. "He made me and
Brian watch. I tried to hide it from Brian. But he said that if we didn't
watch, then he'd do the same to us too. He made us watch. I was never so
scared in my life Ray. I wanted to run and find you. But he locked us in our
rooms. Then he sent us to boarding school. We had to come home, every
weekend. He beat us, then he sent us back again. I didn't see Maraih and the
others until the English Tournament was over. Father went on business. I went
into town and saw her. She told me about you. They were headed to the
Canadian tournament. They found out that two extra tickets were paid for
anyways Mariah said that you'd be here. I decided to come with Brian. Mom
told me to go. She said that if I didn't go, then I'd never get away from
him. So we left. Mom was so happy to see us go." Teri said. I knew what she
meant. Mom was happy because we'd all gotten away from him. Divorce was a
HUGE taboo in our community. Mom couldn't do it.

Everything that Terri had told me, had sickened me, to the very core of my
soul and being. I wanted to be sick. Teri looked like she wanted to cry.
"Teri, you can cry in front of me if you want. You know I won't make fun." I
said. I didn't want her to have to keep her emotions bottled up like I had
to. "I don't want to cry. Mom told me to be happy. She made me swear that
what ever I did, I'd really think about it first." Teri said. Another veilled
meaning. My Mom had fallen for my Father, and had gotten pregnant with me,
before she had even gotten to know him. That was a mistake that she was still
paying for.

Teri and I decided that we should go back to the hotel. I knew that I'd have
to tell the others sooner or later. I decided not to tell them at the moment.
I still had to absorb what Teri had told me. And build another block on my
towers of resentmant and hate, for my Father. Teri and I walked back to the
hotel. Then I saw it. Fathers black Mercedes. I also saw Brian, hiding in the
bushes. We ran over to join him quickly. "Brian, what's going on?" Teri said
to him. Her voice was barely whispering. "Father came to find us. He also
found out that Ray's around here somewhere. It was lucky that Kevin saw him
drive up, Lee and Mariah hid me here." Brian whispered back. His eyes were
wide and frightened. I saw Father storm out. His black hair was cut short and
neat. His blue eyes were cold and unforgiving. My mother followed. Her
strawberry-blond hair was brushed so that it covered one of her eyes.
"Probably covering another shiner." Teri whispered. I saw her uncovered,
caramel coloured eye look towards us. We hid deeper. Father got in his car,
Mom got into the passenger side. He drove off rapidly. Now I'd have to tell
the others what was going on.
