Legend Of The White Dragon
Chapter 1 - Returning Home
Ray is still with the Bladebreakers but after the Asian championships are over he tells them he is returning to Japan for a while. The others try to change his mind but he doesn't listen and returns to his old home.
As Ray walks into the village and Mariah sees him and follows him. He walks to the elders cabin, opens the door and steps in. The elders don't look too pleased as they glance at him then continue with what they were doing before he walked in.
Ray says, " I get the point, I'll leave."
The Elders look at him as he says this then they once again turn back to what they were doing.
"I can see I'm not wanted here, so I'll just go back to Japan," Ray says as he turns and walks out of the door slightly.
The High Elder walks to him grabbing him by the ear and dragging him back into the cabin.
Mariah is outside the cabin praying to god Ray doesn't come out and see her. When she sees the elder grab him by the ear her only reaction is, " Ouch!"
Ray is dragged back into the cabin where the elder lets him go and pushes him into a chair. "I hope you're not planning to leave cause it's not going to happen," the elder says in a stern voice, "you were brought here so we could protect you, so you're NOT leaving." He says emphasizing the word not.
Ray says, " I don't need your protection. I can't fulfill my destiny if I'm stuck here all my life."
Outside Mariah is listening to the whole conversation and trying to figure out why Ray would need protecting.
The elder glares at Ray, "You are NOT LEAVING!" He growls.
Ray goes wide eyed and says, " but… "
"No buts, you're staying, that's final!" The elder interrupts before Ray gets a chance to finish.
"How do you expect to keep me here? You can't have someone watching me 24/7," he says smirking, and then he turns and walks out of the door a bit angry.
As Mariah hears him coming out of the cabin she quickly runs across the street and lets her beyblade go trying not to let Ray know she was listening in. Ray walks out of the cabin and walks past Mariah as if he didn't see her.
"RAY!!" Mariah screams begging for attention. Ray looks over his shoulder to look at her then he continues to walk away.
"Fine then, be that way!" Mariah yells at him feeling kind of ignored.
Ray turns a corner leaving Mariah there alone.
________________________________________________________________________
A couple days later Mariah is in the library trying to keep busy. She is in one of the back isles looking for a book to read when all of a sudden a book falls from the top shelf knocking her on the head. She jumps wondering who was trying to knock her out. She then picks up the book goes to the other isle. She sees no one there. She goes back to her isle and goes to put the book back but she decides to have a quick look first.
She opens the book to a picture of a dragon. Interested she finds a seat and sits down to look at the book some more. She traces the picture of the dragon with her finger and it starts to glow. She is startled and then all of a sudden she finds herself in what seems like another world. She hears the clanging of swords and roars coming from the east. She opens her eyes and looks around then walks to where all the noise is coming from. There she sees the dragon from the picture fighting other creatures. There are also soldiers fighting against the large creatures.
Scared and a bit in shock she manages to hide behind a rock. She watches the creatures fight curious as to where she is and what she is doing there.
All of a sudden Mariah feels a hand on her shoulder, startled she looks back ready to fight to save herself. When she turns around she sees a young girl about her age.
The girl removes her hand from Mariah's shoulder and says, " You must get out of here for you will get hurt if you stay."
Mariah just nods not wanting to argue with the strange girl, " wh... where do I go?" she asks the girl.
The girl just points towards the forest behind them and then says, "Be careful," As she backs up into the tree brush.
Mariah gets up from her hiding spot then runs in the direction the girl was pointing. All of a sudden she finds herself flying. She looks down to see what is going on and notices claws around her waist. Then slowly she glances up to see a black beast.
"AHHHHH!" she screams. Then out of nowhere the white dragon slams into the black dragon, that is holding her, sending it off course and her falling to the ground.
"AHHHH!" she screams again shutting her eyes waiting to hit the ground. Suddenly she hits something. She slowly opens her eyes wondering what she fell onto. She finds herself riding yet another beast but this time she was riding on it's back and she wasn't afraid.
She once again runs her fingers along the dragon but this time it was different. She feels the smooth white scales as the dragon gently lands on the ground. The dragon brings its tail forward and wraps it around her bringing her safely down to the ground. The dragon looks into her bright yellow eyes and she, in turn, looked into his yellow eyes. He gently nudges her then opens his wings elegantly flying into the pale blue sky.
Suddenly she finds herself back in the library holding the book tightly. Suddenly, once again, someone places a hand on her shoulder. Startled she sends a fist backwards as she turns quickly around.
Ray backs up to avoid her fist.
"I know you're mad at me but you know, assault is still illegal," He says with a slight smirk. He glances down and sees the book tightly clenched in Mariah's hands.
"Where did you get that?" He says looking down at the book a little nervous.
"Duh, I'm in a library," she says giggling. Ray shakes his head with a sigh making Mariah laugh even more.
He quickly covers Mariah's mouth, "Shhh your going to draw attention to us," Mariah tries to talk but it all comes out mumbled due to Ray's hand covering her mouth. Frustrated, she bites Ray's hand and Ray yelps out in pain.
She then clasps her hand over his mouth, "SHH! Your going to get us kicked out," she says making sure her hand is not close enough for him to bite. Ray pokes her in the side with his finger. She jumps laughing loudly.
The librarian walks over and glares at them pointing to the exit. Ray walks towards the door a bit embarrassed, Mariah follows.
As she is walking by the librarian she says, " Buh bye then. Oh, and I'm borrowing this." The librarian opens her mouth to say something but the door shuts in her face.
The two walk through the streets laughing, " Well wasn't that fun?" Mariah says finally able to talk.
Ray smiles and shakes his head.
" They're gonna need pliers to pull her face off the door, " Mariah laughs trying to look innocent.
Suddenly Mariah notices Lee watching her from across the street and remembers what he said to her...
( Flashback )
The WhiteTigers were having a meeting in their tree house.
"Hey, did you hear? Ray is back, " Mariah said excitedly.
"So, " Kevin says rudely showing no interest in what Mariah had to say.
"Kevin!" Mariah said glaring at him kind of annoyed with his attitude towards the conversation. " That wasn't nice, " She said sticking up for Ray as usual.
"And you think ditching your friends is nice!?" Lee said snapping at Mariah.
"No, but yelling at them isn't either!" Mariah said snapping back as a tear rolled down her cheek.
"I suggest you stay away from the traitor if you want to remain part of the WhiteTigers," Lee said looking her in the eyes.
"Are you threatening me?!" Mariah asked feeling betrayed.
"Just a warning." Lee said as he jumped down from the tree house landing safely on the dirt ground on one knee.
( End Flashback )
"Hey Mariah, are you Ok?" Ray says waving his hand in front of her face.
Mariah shakes her head and smiles at him, " Ya Ray, I'm fine." She looks back at Lee who is still glaring at her. " Hey Ray, I gotta go, " she says out loud. She goes and nudges him and whispers in his ear, " Meet me at the same time tomorrow at the library." Then she winks and walks off placing the book in her book bag.
Lee sends Ray an angry stare then walks off with Mariah in tow.
