Ok, so on the first chapter Kai got run over by a girl named Kylie. Her and
her friends live in an old house and everyone in the town knows who they
are and their pasts. Here is chapter 2 of Glancing Backwards.
Chapter 2
The next morning, Kylie and her sister Sarah were walking down the street on their way to Lilly Street. They were still wearing the same clothes they had on the day before. Living on the streets didn't give them many options in clothes either. At the same time, Kai and the others were walking down the street towards them on the other side away from a restaurant.
"Come on Tyson. We don't have all day," Kenny said as Tyson reluctantly came out of the restaurant.
Once Sarah hear that voice and name, she froze and looked to see Tyson and the others. "No way!"
Kylie stopped and looked at her sister. She then followed her gaze to the guys before glaring at Sarah. "Sarah, no!" Kylie snapped.
"But that's Tyson, Kai, Kenny, Max and Ray. Oh please Kylie? Please?" Sarah pleaded.
"I said no. Now come on or we'll be late," Kylie said as she started to drag her sister off again.
Tyson slowly came out of the restaurant. "Yeah, yeah. Huh?" He looked up to see Kylie and Sarah. "Hey, Max. Isn't that the girl we saw earlier?"
Max turned around and looked. "Yeah. Hey!" Max yelled as he waved at them. Sarah waved back. They then ran over to the twins.
"Hey, I don't think we've been properly introduced. I'm Tyson."
Before anyone else could introduce themselves, Kylie glared at them "We know who the hell you are. Now we have to go." With that said, she dragged Sarah off again.
"Don't mind her."
The guys turned around to see Maria standing there. She was covered in a thin layer of dirt. "It's alright," Kenny said.
"We've got Kai so we're used to it," Tyson said.
"Yeah well we've got Kylie." Maria held out a hand to Tyson. "I'm Maria, a close friend of Jury and Kylie. Don't worry. I know your names already."
Tyson shook her hand. "That's cool."
"Kylie sees you as a problem. See, since a couple of us are fans, she thinks you'll distract them from their jobs," Maria explained. "I mean, I'm surprised she hasn't yelled at me yet for even talkin with you guys."
"She hasn't, but I have."
Maria tensed slightly and turned around to see Jury standing there. "Hey, Jury. Um. . . ehehe."
Jury shook her head with a slight trace of a smile. "Don't worry, I wont tell Kylie, but you need to get to work."
"I know. I will," Maria said.
With that said, Jury walked off to a newsstand and began to unload papers out of a truck. Maria stood with the guys and chatted with them for a while.
Not long after, Sarah and Kylie ran by and up to Jury with Gizzy. "We got a job for $100 per person."
"Really? What job?" Jury asked, pausing from her job only a second before continuing to unload.
"You know that guy Voltaire? Well, he's having this party for his grandson as bribe I think. Anyway, he needs belly dancers as entertainment. So, what do you say?" Gizzy asked.
Jury froze that the name and shook her head. "No, I'll go to the party, but I wont dance."
"You don't have to if you don't want to," Tyran said as she grabbed a box of newspapers and unloaded it. "We'll do it. It'll be about $400 total which will really help," Tyran said as she continued to unload
"So, I guess we're in then?" Kylie asked.
"Yeah. Who is he holding the party for?" Tyran asked as she continued to help her leader.
"It's for a lot of beyblade teams and their owners. People say it's a way to get the cops off his back and off his scent," Gizzy explained.
"Then I am so in!" Tyran said. She loved to hang around people who beybladed. There weren't many people in the town who were good beybladers so this party was probably going to be sweet with all the beybladers there.
"Great, then me and Sarah will go and tell them that we're in. See ya," Kylie said. With that said, she grabbed her sister's arm and ran off down the street dragging her behind her. They soon came up to a huge mansion. Both hers and Sarah's eyes widened at the sight of the place. It was huge with tan walls and a black gate that was practically 10 feet high. Men were moving things around getting the place ready for the party that night. Kylie looked around a bit before spotting what looked like a butler. She and Sarah ran up to him. "Excuse me? We're looking for Mr. Voltaire about the belly dancing job," Kylie said.
"I'm sorry, miss, but Mr. Voltaire isn't available at the moment, but I will tell him you've eccepted the job," the butler replied. He seemed to be eyeing her cautiously as thought she'd bite him at any moment.
Kylie felt a little uncomfortable. "Um, thanks. There are four in all."
The butler nodded. "Very well. Be here at 7:30. You will have 30 minutes to get ready," he explained.
"Ok, thanks," Kylie said before her and Sarah took off to meet up with the others. "Well, that was easy enough."
That night, Maria, Sarah, Kylie, and Tyran were all dressed and ready to dance. The place was packed. Every seat was taken up. The party was being held outside. Each table had different colored tablecloths that looked pretty expensive. The Bladebreakers sat at the head table, which had a good view of the stage. Kai sat in the center with Mr. Dickenson.
The girls were dressed in a slightly transparent outfit that hung loosely on them. It also had a veil, golden chains, and designs painted on their skin. They each wore a different color outfit. Kylie wore black. Tyran had midnight blue. Maria took dark green. Sarah wore dark red.
Everyone outside was talking and laughing with friends. Their attention was soon on Voltaire when he took the stage. "Welcome beybladers and team owners. I am proud to present the entertainment for tonight." He then nodded to the girls and left the stage to sit at his own private table away from all the people he saw as unfit trash.
"Alright. Here we go," Kylie said as she and the other girls went out onto the stage. Gizzy and Jury were both sitting in the crowd watching them as they took their positions. Sarah and Kylie were standing in the center of the stage while Maria and Tyran went on either side of them on their knees.
As the music started, Maria and Tyran sat back on their legs and began to move their bodies in a wave-like motion. Kylie and Sarah both began to dance. The chains on their bodies jingled slightly while the clothes swayed with the motion of their bodies. It was almost as though the music flowed through their bodies, controlling their moves.
Ray looked up at the dancers. "Hey, look."
Tyson looked up from shoveling food into his mouth and saw the dancers. "Who's that?"
"They're belly dancers, Tyson," Kenney said as all five boys watched them.
Gizzy and Jury both watched from the crowd as Tyran, Kylie, and Sarah moved to form a triangle with Maria in the center. "Maria's body was better equipped for this kind of move," Gizzy explained. Everyone watched as Sarah, Kylie, and Tyran stopped dancing and stood in different poses as Maria bent her knees and made it so that her upper body was completely parallel with the stage floor. She began to move her body in wave-like patterns.
Tyson's jaw nearly hit the floor. "Dude!"
Maria soon lifted herself back up as the music started to slow down and the other girls began to lower themselves to the floor. Once the music stopped, the crowd began to clap and cheer as the four left the stage.
"That was fun," Kylie said as she took off the veil.
"Yeah, come on. Let's go and meet up with Jury and Gizzy," Tyran said before grabbing her bag and running out.
Kylie and the other girls quickly followed. It didn't take them long to find Gizzy and Jury. "Are we ready to go?" Jury asked as Voltaire took the stage again. She wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.
"That was an excellent performance. Now, I have some good news to tell you. Not only is my grandson here, but so is my granddaughter," Voltaire said.
"Kai, you have a sister?" Tyson asked his leader.
Kai looked confused. "Not that I know of."
"Please welcome my granddaughter, Jury," Voltaire said. Five sets of jaws dropped. All five girls turned their eyes to Jury in a disbelieving manner. The crowd around them began to clap and cheer for her.
"You're kidding!?" Kylie said still shocked.
"Ok, Jury, if you want to let's run," Maria said.
Jury just sighed and shook her head. "No use." She slowly walked to the front of the crown with her friends following her. Kai was shocked beyond belief.
Voltaire smiled down at his granddaughter. "Welcome home, Jury."
Kylie cocked an eyebrow at him while Jury just snorted. "Yeah right." She then turned to leave with the other girls following her.
"Hold it."
Jury turned to see Kai standing there. "You're supposed to be my sister?"
"I was thrown out of the Abby. Afterwards I teamed up with my friends," Jury said as she motioned to her team.
"Come on Jury. Let's go," Kylie said to her friend. She was just as eager to get out of here as Jury was.
Kai wasn't gonna let them off so easily. "Oh no you don't. You're gonna tell me what the hell is going on." Kylie turned to him and glared.
"Later," was all Jury said before walking out.
Maria looked at the Bladebreakers before quickly following her leader with Gizzy and Tyran hott on her tail.
"Kylie, let's go. We did our job now come on," Sarah urged her sister. Kylie glared at Kai again before walking out with Sarah.
The next day found Kylie walking along the streets with Jury trying to hide behind her. She was trying to get away from the Bladebreakers.
"Quit trying to hide, Jury. Just avoid them," Kylie told her best friend.
"Tried it."
"Didn't work?"
"Nope."
Kylie sighed. "Why did you tell us you were Voltaire's granddaughter?"
"I don't want anything to do with him," Jury replied.
"Still," Kylie said as she stopped walking. Jury jumped into a near-by alley. "Are you gonna hide all day?"
"Until Kai leaves me alone," Jury said from the shadows of the alley.
"Beat the shit outta him," Kylie said with a shrug.
"He's my brother, Kylie! I can't beat the shit outta him!" Jury all but yelled.
"Then go and face him!" Kylie yelled back.
"I will when his hunting dogs stop trying to sniff me out!"
Kylie blinked. "Huh?" She then turned around to see Tyson and Ray on the other side of the street looking in alleys. "Oi jeezums. Hang on," Kylie said as she crossed the street with her hands in her pockets and walked up to the two boys.
Ray looked up from checking the alleys and blinked at her. "Um, hi."
Kylie stopped a few feet from them. "Looking for Jury?"
"Yeah, do you know where she is?" Tyson asked.
Kylie shrugged. "Maybe. Why do you want her?"
"Kai is going nuts trying to find her," Ray said.
"Tell Kai to stop looking for her. She will come to him," Kylie said more as a command than a request.
"Really?" Tyson asked a little unbelieving.
"Yes. Now stop looking for her," Kylie snapped, a little annoyed.
Ray raised his hands. "Alright already, we'll stop. Just chill."
"Good," was all Kylie said before turning on her heel and walking back across the street.
Tyson scratched his head. "Man, why does Kai even like her?" Ray shrugged.
Jury watched as Ray and Tyson both stopped looking and ran out of the alley. Kylie watched her go with a slight smirk. "And don't run from him!" Kylie yelled after her friend. She then walked down the street and headed home.
Jury ran towards the park and stopped. She stood under a tree and leaned against it thinking over some things. It didn't take long for Kai to show up; Jury sighed as Kai started to walk towards her. He had a stern look on his face as though he thought he'd get into a fight. She also noticed that he was alone. She smiled a bit and looked at the ground.
"How'd you ditch your friends?" she asked softly.
"How'd you ditch yours?" he returned. She laughed a bit and ruffled his hair. He slapped her hand away and glared at her. Her smile faded as she caught the glare.
"You can't touch me until you explain some things." He growled. Jury nodded.
"What do you want to know?"
"Everything." Jury sighed and hit her head against the tree. She knew this was going to happen. Why did Voltaire have to say she was his granddaughter? It only helped things be more difficult.
"Are you going to tell me or just stand there hitting your head against a tree?" Kai's harsh voice asked. Jury opened her eyes and stared at the sky.
"You were to young to remember this but. the reason why we lost our parents was because of a fire. Voltaire had set the fire on purpose in order to send us to the Abby. While there, we went through training but one time I tried to escape. And I was punished for it. After that incident with Black Dranzer I tried it again. And I actually got away this time."
"Why did you leave me there?" Kai growled. Jury sighed again and looked at the ground.
"It would have been impossible." Kai snorted making Jury look up at him sharply. "I didn't leave you there on purpose, Kai." Kai shook his head and glared at her. "Look. That's all I know ok? We were little when the fire happened. So get over your attitude problem and deal with it ok?! I'm as broken up over it as you are!" Jury yelled. Kai blinked startled a bit. Jury ran her fingers through her hair and kicked the tree. The tree shuddered a bit and a few leaves fell down from its branches.
"You couldn't have come back?" he asked. Jury shook her head.
"They would have killed us both, Kai." Kai looked at the ground frowning. It sounded believable but then again.
"How do I know you're telling the truth?" Kai asked. Jury screamed a bit and rammed her fist into the tree leaving a small hole in it.
"Will you drop the suspicious act, Kai?! Just for a minute?! God!! I swear! If you weren't my little brother I punch you in the gut!" She screamed and stormed a few feet away. Kai blinked at the outburst.
"Look, I'm sorry for leaving you there but I knew if I took you away you'd hate me and you'd be dead." Jury spat glaring at him. "And before I do end up punching you in the gut I'll leave." Jury spun on her heal and stormed off deeper into the park. "Oh, and by the way." Kai looked up at Jury. Jury turned around and glared at him again. "You don't need to be giving my friend an attitude. She doesn't appreciate it."
Kai sighed. "I know and I'm sorry, but I've been having a bad week with loosing Dranzer and all. It just got to me."
"Yeah, whatever," Jury said before walking off into the woods.
Kai sighed again and headed back to the hotel.
Kai walking into the room and was encountered with Tyson.
"Hey, Kai, do you know where those girls live? We wanted to see what kind of place they live in," Tyson said with his usual grin.
"They live down that old dirt road called Madison Drive," Kai replied. He wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone at the moment.
"Awesome. Hey, guys, come on. They live down Madison Drive. Let's go," Tyson said as he ran out the door. The others followed, but Kai stood where he was at the moment.
'If I go with them, then I can talk to Jury again and see what else I can learn from her," Kai thought. He then ran off after the others.
Jury was walking home with her eyes on the ground and her hands in her pockets. She had a lot on her mind and couldn't think straight. She didn't expect what she saw when she got to the house. A crowd of people were standing around the house, which was smothered in flames.
Jury's eyes widened. "Oh. . . my. . ."
How did the house catch fire? Are all the girls alright? Find out in the next chapter of Glancing Backwards.
