Tragic Past 3-Ray.

Chapter Three - Telling The Others, and What To Do.

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

When we were sure that Father's car was long gone. We stopped hiding in the
bushes. We got up and went inside. I saw the White Tigers and the guys, all
looking really pale. Teri looked at me. I know what she was thinking. "Good
luck, you're gonna need it." Father had probably scared my friends to death.
Teri and Brian went with the White Tigers. I was left with my friends. "Are
you gonna tell us what's going on Ray?" Kai asked me. I nodded. We all went
up to our hotel suite. Tyson Kai and Kenny sat on a sofa, Max sat on a huge
beanie bag, and I sat on a chair. They were all looking at me. Waiting
intently for me to tell them what was going on. I sighed, this was gonna take
a lot of explaining. I couldn't lie to them. Along with the motto, `all for
one and one for all' we had a new one. `What effects one of us, effects all
of us.' Tyson had used that quote, when we found out about Kai's past, and it
had stuck with us, ever since. I looked at them all again. I sighed again. "I
don't know where to begin." I said hesitantly. "Try starting from the
begining." Kai said. I nodded.

"When I was little, you guys obviously know that I grew up in the White Tiger
Valley. I grew up in a big house. Kinda like the house that Kai lives in now.
My Father owned his own business and ours was the biggest house in the
village. Maybe not in the entire valley, but I didn't matter to me. But
growing up wasn't happy for me. I had to grow up to quickly and I had to
learn fast. Those were the only tools that I had, to keep me out of trouble.

My Father was very strict. He still is. If I didn't do something right the
first time, he'd beat me, til I did what he wanted done, to his satisfaction.
It got so that I couldn't feel when he beat me. I just became numb. If I
didn't do my homework, when I got in from school, he would beat me. If I went
out of the house and he found out about it, he'd beat me. If I talked to any
of the other village children, ESPECIALLY The White Tigers, he'd beat me. If
my little sister or brother did any of these things, he'd beat them, and me
aswell. Because I'm their older brother, so I should be making sure that they
do what they are told. Whatever I did wasn't good enough. Whenever I did
something Father didn't like, he would drag me into his study and beat me.
The carpet was red. I remember that. My blood always blended in with it.

When I was nine. I found out that he beat up on my mom too. It came as a
shock to me. I thought that it was only me and my brother and sister, that he
beat. When I came home from school and heard her crying in the study. I knew
that he'd hit her again.

When I left home, I was beat up pretty bad. I knew that if I ever went back,
my father would kill me. So I've been carrying on. Travelling further and
learning more. I planned to go back, when I was strong enough to defend my
family. If my father finds me now. He'll stop me BeyBlading and force me to
come home. I don't know what else to do except hide from him." I finished.

Kai looked as though he understood. "Ray, will your father, bother to check
the subs list?" Kai asked me. "No he won't. He'd think that I'll blade as a
part of the main team. He'd never think that I'd substitute myself, or even
think that I know he's looking for me." I answered. "Fine. I'll blade in
Ray's place. He'll have to be in the subs list, until his parents stop
looking for him, and Ray. You'll have to lay low. As much as you might hate
to, if they find you and tell Mr Dickenson that you have to go home, then he
can't do anything about it." Kai said. Well, I'd told them. And at least for
now, my problems seemed to be lifted for awhile.
