Chapter one: Just a little Challenge
"Yeah," she said walking into the main lobby of the base.
"Our next battle will be with the Blitz team," Brian Cloud said.
"By the look on your face, I can tell you saw him battle today too,"
Mitchell, the oldest, said.
"Is it that obvious?"
"Sadly enough it is," James said.
"Great. So why the Blitz team?" she asked.
"Their star player, of course," Brian said.
"So, he's our prize?"
"Yep, Ter, he and his Liger. When we have them we'll be even harder to
defeat."
"But we haven't been defeated yet."
"I know. What was my point again?"
"Ooh, Brian. Anyway what do they get if we lose?"
"You're going to hate this," James said.
"Why?"
"Youaretheirprize," Mitchell said as quickly as he could.
"What?! Why did you decide on that?!"
"Well if we were going to take a member we gambled a member," James said.
"Why me?"
"You were the only one not here," Brian said.
"You could have called me."
"Well, we would have but."
"BUT WHAT?"
"We forgot."
"HOW COULD YOU FORGET? I'M YOUR FUCKING SISTER!"
"Your point?"
"Why I ought a."
"Calm down, Terry. It is not like they would win," Mitchell assured her.
She shook her head and stormed away.
"Should we go after her?" James asked.
"Nah."
She ran into her room and lay on her bed.
"Those jerks. I can't believe we're related," she thought.
She rolled towards the wall and closed her eyes.
FLASHBACK: 19 YEARS AGO:
"Daddy, I don't want you to marry her."
Aaron Cloud sat her on his lap.
"I know but I'm in love."
"Aren't you still in love with mommy?"
"Terry, your mother and I have had a lot of problems."
"You didn't answer my question. Are you?"
"No, I'm not in love with your mother."
"Whey did you marry her then?"
"I was once in love with her but that was a long time ago."
"Was that when Mitchell was born?"
"It was way before your time, Terry. It's nothing for you to worry about."
"Daddy, how did you and mommy meet?"
"Hum.it was about 12 years ago. We met your mother after the Royal Cup. We
dated for awhile then got married and had a child, your older brother, Mitchell. Two years later Brian was born. Then you were born. Your mother
was a good person and I hope you will take after her instead of me."
"How old is mommy now?"
"Hum.24. Why?"
"I was just wondering. Daddy, when will I see mommy again?"
"Aah. I don't know. We'll go soon. I promise."
"Will she let me go see mommy? Will she let you?"
"What makes you think she wouldn't?"
"You're right. I'm sorry."
"You don't have anything to be sorry about."
"When can I go home?"
"Why do you want to go home? You are home."
"No, this isn't my home. This is Ms. Sumers's house."
"It may be Ms. Sumers's house but you live here, as do I. How about we get
James and Bit and go to the park? Would you like that?"
"Yeah! Can I go get Bit and James?"
Aaron Cloud nodded his head. She jumped up off his lap and ran inside.
