I Turn To You Pt. 4

__________________

For the first two minutes, there was silence. After that, Josh spoke up.

"Hey Ray!" Josh yelled in his evil tone.

"What?" Ray looked up to see a smile on his opponent's face. It wasn't a smile of friendliness; it was a smile of when someone knows something that the other didn't.

"I think you'll find this attack quite familiar to you."

'No, not the Tiger Claw.' Ray prayed silently.

"Cokin! Attack with Shadow Strike!" Red light shot out of the army green blade and what emerged was horrific as well as beautiful. A king cobra that was covered from head to tail with metal emerged forward. Light seemed to reflect off the armour and everyone but Josh gasped at how majestic it looked.

Just as it appeared, the attacks started. With an unseen force, Ray got a cut on his left arm and it started to bleed. He grimaced in pain but kept on concentrating on the battle. Within seconds, another cut was created on his other arm but it was deeper. Mariah's eyes widened as another cut stroke Ray on his cheek. Her heart skipped a few beats as she remembered the battle between Ray and Byran from the Demolition Boys. Somehow, Byran trained his bitbeast to attack the opponent as well as their blade. The boys of the Bladebreakers also remembered as the fourth cut grazed Ray's shoulder.

"RAY!!" Mariah screamed his name out loud as the attacks continued.

Ray had knelt on one knee as the pains shot through his body. He managed to croak out weakly to Josh, "How did you learn this attack?"

"Ha! You should know Ray! You battled him before! Byran taught me this before he got kicked out of the Abbey!" Josh replied, his voice practically laughing at him, happy that Ray was in pain. "Now I will finish you off, and claim my victory! Cokin! Frozen Glacier!"

Mariah saw a glint of ice coming towards Ray's stomach as Josh ordered his bitbeast to attack. She quickly ran and pushed Ray down to the ground as the ice shard made a big cut across her stomach. She cried out in pain as the cut started to bleed. The Bladebreakers was shocked at what just happened.

"Mariah!" Ray got up and put one of his arms at Mariah's back to lift her in a sitting position while he put his other hand in hers. "Why did you have to push me to the ground? You shouldn't have done that to get yourself hurt." Tears were beginning to form in his eyes.

"Ray, it's not fair for you to get hurt when it's my bitbeast they're after. I had to keep you safe. She winced as the pain shot through her. She continued speaking. "Promise me this. Beat Josh and his damn Dark Viper team."

Ray nodded as the tears started to flow. "I promise you. Just hang on Mariah." He wiped the tears from his eyes with the back of his hand and stood up with eyes filled with hatred at Josh. Max and Tyson slowly lifted Mariah away from where she laid, onto the bench, and began to find a way to stop the blood from flowing out of Mariah's cut.

"You hurt her you son of a bitch! Now it's time for you to pay!"

____________

Me: Gomen for this part being short! Ray's so emotional in this chapter! *Tears form in her eyes* this is the last part before I go to the US during Spring Break. I can't believe I won't be able to type the last part up as I get the votes in! At least, I can read the reviews from the library computer lol. Also, I need more votes on what should happen to Mariah to write the ending.

Ray: WHAT??? How could you leave the readers at a cliffhanger? Also, why did you hurt Mariah?!?!

Me: Yo, just chill Romeo. She'll be fine... if the reviewers choose b, c, or d. *evil smile* By the way, here's a message from Galux Kitty:

Galux Kitty: Thanks Sakura88. Here's my message: *in her angry voice with anime demon eyes* IF YOU DARE TO CHOOSE THE FIRST CHOICE, I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND KICK YOUR SORRY ASS!!! *Normal self* Back to you!

Me: Thanks! Well, here's the poll so far:

Votes for Mariah's fate:

a) Die in Ray's arms: ||||||

b) Go to hospital, and sequel: |||||

c) Get healed magically: ||||

d) Ray says 'I love you', she glows, and is healed (from Stinker BW): ||

Alright! I hope to see the final results of the poll on April 8th or 9th!

Ray: Don't worry Mariah, I won't let those evil people who will choose the first choice get you! *Holds on to Mariah tightly*

Mariah: Thanks Ray. ^-^

Me: I'm out! Don't forget to cast in your vote and r/r! Lata peepz!

Note: Galux Kitty didn't state those words, but I hope that there won't be a sad ending to this fic.
