Tragic Past 3-Ray's Fic.

Chapter Eleven - There's Just No Way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TERI'S P.O.V~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I pulled Hikari out of the way of the car. It barely missed us as it sped
off. We both got up from the pavement. "Hikari, Teri, are you both allright?"
I heard Kai say. I looked to see the other's running towards us. I then
noticed something. "Where's Ray?" I asked.

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

I woke up in the back of a van. I know it was a van. It was too small to be a
lorry. And there were no window's, so it was dark. I tried to move my hand's.
They were tied behind me. The knots were too thick to try and undo them. My
head hurt. Then I remembered. "Someone tried to run down Hikari and Teri.
Then someone hit me in the back of the neck. I hope they're O.K." I thought
desperatly. Then the van stopped. I heard a door slam . Then I heard
footsteps coming round. I heard a key turn in a lock. I realised that the
lock was on the door. The door opened, allowing bright light to shine in. I
was nearly blinded. When I got used to the light, I saw a big, burly guy,
standing there. I recognised him as one of my father's favourite goons.

"What's going on Macky?" I asked. I didn't really need to. I knew what was
going on. The car, that probably ploughed down Hikari and Teri, had been a
distraction. A distraction designed to capture me without interferance. "I'm
sure you know, little Ray. But I'll tell you just in case you've gone slow. I
was sent to grab you, when the time was right." He said laughing. It made me
cringe. "Save the cringing for later Ray." Macky said. "What the hell are you
talking about now?" I said. Macky laughed. "Don't you know? Oh yeah. I
forgot. Your father said that he wants me to teach you a lesson that you
won't forget." Macky grinned at me evily. The sick lust showing in his eyes.
"What kind of lesson?" I asked shakily. I knew. I just wanted it confirmed.
Macky just grinned at me some more. "The same lesson he gave your mother.
Guess she should've kept out of your fathers business." Macky said laughing.
I wanted to be physically sick. I just prayed that I could find a way to
escape. Before he decided to teach me that lesson.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TERI'S P.O.V~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Later on. We all figured out that my father had puled the stunt, with the
car. As a distraction. So that they could take Ray. None of us knew what was
gonna happen. I just hoped that Ray would escape. I wish I hadn't let my
guard down. I could see that Kai was thinking the same thing.

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

I felt the van come to a stop again. Then I felt it being moved. Not driven.
I was still trying to get my ropes lose. I heard the sounds of airplanes. I
realised that I was in an airport. Father had planned for me to be taken
home. So that I would be humilliated there. I just hoped I could get the
ropes lose, before I the plane landed. I'd walked from The White Tiger Valley
to the airport before. I could walk back there and explain my situation to
the village elders. They'd be able to help in some way. I could only hope I
escaped, as I felt the plane take off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TERI'S P.O.V~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was dark outside now. I just sat next to the pool. Shivering with the
cold. I looked up at the sky. "Oh Ray. I hope you're allright," I thought. I
heard someone behind me. I turned around and saw Hikari. "Hey Hikari. I'm
surprised that your brother let you run off on your own."I said. She smiled
at me. "Kai isn't always watching me." She said. Gosh, I thought she was
four, not twelve. "What's wrong Hikari?" I asked her. She came and sat down
next to me. "I'm worried about Ray." She said. She looked at me. "That mean
man won't hurt Ray. Will he Teri?" She asked me. I decided to tell her the
truth. She was four, but she seemed too wise for her years. "I don't know
Hikari. If Ray can run away, then he'll be allright. But if he can't......" I
trailed off. I didn't want to say it. "Then the mean man will hurt Ray. Like
my Ma used to beat Kai." Hikari said.

I was shocked. I didn't think that she actually had a clear understanding of
what happened around her. I mean she is only four years old. "Nobody thinks I
remember stuff. But I remember. I remember Ma taking a belt out and using it
on Kai. She said really mean things to Kai. I saw all the blood. I ran to
Tyson's house. Then they called the car's with the big flashing lights on
top. They came and took Ma away. They took my brother to the big building. He
had big machines attached to him. Everyone told me that he'd be O.K. They all
thought that I didn't know. He nearly went away forever. But no one wanted to
tell me." Hikari said. What she said, shocked me. That a small child could
understand everything that had happened. Then she looked at me. Her big blue
eyes, gazed at my face. She was looking for a reaction.

"Ray, Tyson, Kenny and Max are my extra brothers. If Kai can't look after me,
they do. I want Ray to come back. I miss him lots." Hikari said. "Don't worry
Hikari. Ray will come back to us. I know he will." I said. I pulled her onto
my lap. And I hoped beyond hope, that I was right. That I'd see Ray running
towards us. Ready for a beybattle. That he'd come back to us, safe and sound.

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

The plane landed. I felt the jolt, as it came to a stop. I had to wait for
twenty minutes, before I heard the van being deposited on the ground again. I
started to work on my ropes. I wriggled so that I could get my arms around
and under my legs. Then I finally managed to get my arms out from underneath
me. I started to chew on the ropes. I knew that if I didn't, then the next
time the van stopped, I'd recieve my punishment.

I chewed through them, finally. I got them off. Then I heard the van door
being unlocked. I hid the rope behind me, and my hands. "Well Ray. I'm glad
to see that you're still alive. Next time we stop. I'll be teaching you, your
lesson. What do you think?" Macky said. "I think you're a sick, perverted
bastard." I sapt back. Macky just laughed. "I'm gonna enjoy breaking you,
kid. In every way possible." Macky said. he closed and locked the door again.
Then I heard him get into the Van and felt the van start to move. I just hope
I have the element of surprise on my side. Or there'll be nothing I can do
once he's got me. I could only pray.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TERI'S P.O.V~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It had been a whole day, since we last saw Ray. I could see that his
team-mates were all worried about him. I was too. Mariah didn't speak to
anyone. She looked pale. Her eye's were red from crying and Lee told me that
she hadn't eaten or slept since Ray had disappeared. She moved like a zombie.
I decided that it was time to talk to her. "Hey Mariah. I need to talk to
you." I said. I dragged her out of the earshot of the others. Then I started
talking.

"Mariah. I'm really worried about you. Lee told me that you haven't been
eating or sleeping. I'm telling you now. Ray wouldn't be happy with me if I
told him that you weren't eating because he wasn't here. If you get sick then
he'll be really upset." I said. She half-smiled at me. "I'm sorry Teri. I
just haven't been feeling well lately." She said. "Mariah, what do you mean
by not well?" I asked her. She looked at me. "Don't worry about it. I will
try to eat." Mariah said to me. I watched her walk off. Then it hit me. "No
way." I thought. Then I ran off after her.
