Chapter 13: The Truth...

The morning arose quickly. Darkness became light and the Bladebreakers we still fast asleep. Kai

was the first one to wake up. He really wanted to get out of bed, but Alexis was clutching onto

his arm tightly, which made it merely impossible. He lay there staring at the ceiling.

"Hey Kai!" came a whisper.

"Hi Ray," said Kai, dully.

"It looks like you've got yourself into a little trouble," said Ray.

"I guess. Luckily, she's a light sleeper. Most of the time," said Kai.

"Well, It looks like you'll be there for a while. How come you can't just get up?" asked Ray.

Kai sat up, and took off the sheets off and all of a sudden. WHAM!! He was back lying down on

the bed.

"Sorry I even asked. So what are you going to do now? I mean, you can't do much in bed with

someone gripping onto you," asked Ray.

"Can I tell you a little secret after she wakes up?" asked Kai.

"Okay. I'm going to get some breakfast," said Ray.

Ray left the room. Kai just lay there. He drifted off to sleep.

Dream

Kai woke up. He sat up and noticed, something was wrong. Alexis wasn't sleeping beside him. He

looked on the bedside table to see a letter. He read:

Dear Alexis,

This is Rad. Mom and Dad really miss you and are consulting Mr. Dickenson to take you

off the Bladebreakers. I hope you get this letter in time. Figure out a way to stop it! I know you

want to stay with the Bladebreakers! Me and Jason are trying to persuade mom and dad to leave

you but it's not working! If Mr. Dickenson says anything to you, make sure you call me on my cell

phone, or else, you never know what mom and dad will do if you call the house phone! I'll talk to

you later!

Rad

Kai gripped onto the letter tightly.

End Dream

"Ow!! Kai! That's my arm!" shrieked Alexis.

"What?" Kai let go of Alexis' arm.

"Ohh! That really hurt Kai!" whined Alexis.

"At least you're awake now," said Kai.

"Right Kai. Want some breakfast?" asked Alexis.

"No," said Kai.

Alexis made it out of the room, and Kai lay back down. He was still thinking about that dream he

had. It was all coming back to him.

"Hey Kai! You said you wanted to tell me something," said Ray, coming into the room.

"Yea," said Kai. He opened the drawer in his bedside table. He took out a envelope. He handed it

to Ray. As Ray read it, a face of shock stuck his face.

"You can't be serious! Alexis! She'll...." said Ray. Kai nodded.

"She'll leave the tea Ray. Mr. Dickenson already knows and he's working on finding a

replacement," said Kai.

"Is Alexis even aware?" asked Ray.

"Nope. You, me, Mr. Dickenson, Rad, and her oldest brother, Jason, are the only people that

know," said Kai. "I keep on getting nightmares on it too. Something bad is going to happen Ray.

My Grandfather is going to be celebrating when he finds out, and might go after her while she's

not on my watch."

"I never thought about it that way. Listen Kai, we have to make sure that we keep an eye on her

until she leaves. We don't know who's going to that plane. Tala, Ian, Spencer and that other dude

might be sent to hurt her! What can we do?" said Ray, doubtfully.

"I don't know. We have to make sure Biovolt doesn't find out until after the plane leaves," said

Kai.

"Is that all we can do?" asked Ray.

"Kai! Are you sure you don't want any breakfast?" asked Alexis, just quiet enough not to wake up

the rest.

"Yes.. I'm sure," said Kai.

"Okay!" said Alexis and went back to breakfast.

"Well.." Ray was cut off by the telephone. Ray picked up the telephone.

"Hello?" said Ray.

"Good morning Ray! This is Mr. Dickenson!" he said joyfully.

Ray covered up the part where you speak on the telephone.

"It's Mr. Dickenson!" said Ray quickly.

"Oh great!" said Kai, quietly.

"What should I say?" asked Ray.

"If he asks for me or Alexis, say that we're gone somewhere!" said Kai and ran into the kitchen.

"Sorry Mr. Dickenson! I got distracted! Did you say something!" said Ray, quickly.

"Actually yes. Is Kai or Alexis there?" asked Mr. Dickenson.

"They're..... busy!! I mean their not here! You know.. Kai's never here!" Ray stumbled at the

question.

"Okay... Is everything alright Ray?" asked Mr. Dickenson.

"Oh! Umm... just.. kinda.. stressed out from Tyson. He's been sleeping for more than 24 hours,

and we are trying to wake him up!" said Ray. "Umm.. gotta go!" and Ray slammed the phone

down.

"Nice going.. I'm not surprised if he come up here right now and visits us!" said Kai, coming back

into the room.

"He would tell us if he was coming," said Ray.

Luckily, Mr. Dickenson decided not to pay a visit. The night was the time Kai finally decided to

tell Alexis what was going on.

That night, as the Bladebreakers made it to bed at midnight. It was already the next day, and now

Kai was about to tell Alexis what she had to know.

"Alexis," he said softly, trying not to attract other peoples attention.

"What's the matter Kai?" whispered Alexis.

"There's something you should know," said Kai, sadly.

"What it is? And why are you so sad?" asked Alexis.

"I've received a very important letter from Rad. He said that.. your parents miss you so much

that.. they want you off the Bladebreakers, for good," said Kai.

Alexis was speechless.

"No.. No...," she said in shock.

"Unfortunately, yes Alexis, you're leaving in one day," said Kai. "Rad and Jason are coming to

pick you up."

"Kai.. I.. I don't want to go.. Do I have to?" asked Alexis.

"I can't do much about what your parents want," said Kai, "As much as I want to."

"I wish I could stay," said Alexis. She snuggled up close to Kai and fell asleep, wishing that it was

all a dream.

The next morning, Mr. Dickenson paid a little visit. Most of the Bladebreakers we still asleep, for

it was still quite early.

"Now Alexis, I know you want to stay but it's not my...."

"How come I have to go! Just because my parents told me too! They know how important this

team is to me! They can't do this! It's a disgrace! I'm not going! Never ever ever!" shrieked

Alexis, angrily. She nose stuck up in the arm, she pouted and went to sit down on the sofa.

"Alexis. You have to go. You might come back! I mean if you go, maybe in a month or so.. well

be in another tournament and you'll be there!" said Ray, trying to enlighten her.

"Nope.. Never going to happen," said Kai.

"You're not help!" said Ray, in annoyance.

"I know. We shouldn't lie to her. She's already in a bad mood, and all we know, Alexis could

completely blow up in anger!" said Kai.

"That's true.." said Ray.

"Alexis, you have to! You parents want you home. Rad and Jason are on their way now," said

Mr. Dickenson. "Come on Alexis, be reasonable!"

"That plane might as well go straight back from where it started!" said Alexis.

DING DONG!

Ray openned the door.

"Weren't you supposed to show up tomorrow?" said Ray.

Rad and Jason Star had just arrived to the Bladebreaker hotel room.

"You've got to be kidding me! The airplane ride was brutle! It's not like we're going to come, grab

Alexis and head back to the airport to get on another plane!" said Rad.

"Actually, yes. That what we thought," said Ray.

"You mean what you thought," said Kai.

"Aww.. Rad.. We were just trying to convince Alexis to get ready to go back home, but it's not

working," said Mr. Dickenson.

"I'm not going!" said Alexis.

Rad just laughed it off. Then all of a sudden.

"YOU'RE GOING!"

"Heh... He's very demanding," said Ray.

"What's all the racket in here," said the sleepy Max, coming out of the bedroom.

"Sorry Max," said Rad.

"Hey! You're that kid.. umm... what's your name again?" said Max.

"It's Rad. I'm Alexis' older brother. And this is Jason, my older brother," said Rad.

"Um..... okay... so what's going on?" said Max.

"Alexis is leaving the Bladebreakers," said Kai, dully.

"Umm.. when did this all happen?" asked Max.

"About two weeks ago. I'm not sure Kai told you everything," said Rad.

"Kai didn't tell us anything.. never mind everything," said Max.

"Oh well then, let's get packing Alexis," said Rad.

Alexis stomped along, following her brother to the bedroom.

"So.. Mr. Dickenson. Who's the replacement for Alexis. Not that it's a good thing," said Max.

"I got a girl named Sakuya Everest to supply for Alexis," said Mr. Dickenson, "She'll be arriving

tonight."

"Tonight? And exactly where is she going to sleep?" asked Max.

"We have Rad, Jason, Alexis, Kai, Kenny, Max, Tyson, and myself.. and you expect us to have

room for one more!" said Ray.

"I think he does Ray," said Max.

"We better get the sleeping arrangements," said Ray.

"I know.. We have 4 beds. The three in the bedroom and the pull out bed, so how about...." Max

trailed off with Ray.
