Chapter 3
Jacky was extremely shocked herself,even though she didn't get emotional most of the time.
"What happened?"She kept whispering these words to herself while she was in school, but for daydreaming, got caught.
The next friday when it was time to practice again she came with her usual mood expecting to be yelled at by Rhia, but something strange happened. When she came there her "team mates" were trying to avoid her, and yet they seemed to be afraid to lose her.
"S-so we're going to face another team today and......um, Jacky would you like to go first?" Rhia announced in a shaking voice.
"And why do we have to always face a team, every single friday?I got things much better to do anyway."Jacky asked with annoyance.
Rhia's eyes widened in horror, probably thinking that Jacky was about to leave the team. Before Rhia could say anything Alice saw the fear in her eyes, and said everything that Rhia was going to say.
"I hope you're not thinking about leaving the team!"
When Jacky heard that, the words just seemed to take her freedom away.She said nothing.
"Good." Alice said as if reading her mind.
She couldn't stand it anymore.Her little "team" was pathetic.She ran off as fast as she could without saying a word.Jacky could hear them shouting behind her, telling her to come back.
She got lost in some dark alley, but felt more comfortable there,than anywhere.She looked around.There were no windows facing her, so she was sure that no one was watching her.A lot of dents were carved inside a wall. and a couple of fire escape ladders hung loose to the damp bricks.She could easily jump over from one ladder to another and get to the roof, but instead sat on a step of a ladder.She laid her head in her hands, and just sat there thinking.She could picture the laughing faces of her team mates, and master dranzer.It seemed impossible.Only cartoons had real life bit beasts, but not the real world.Maybe it was a dream , but then why would Rhia be so frightened of Jacky.She pictured all this, but another face came into her mind, that she could not recognize.It was a lady about 30 years old,but she looked much younger.Her hair and eyes were dark brown, almost like Jacky's.But it wasn't Jacky,she was sure.
These thoughts were interrupter by a sharp sound.Jacky looked.A blade was launched, and it kept crushing the walls from side to side.It stopped near Jacky's feet.She looked up at the rooftop.A boy was gazing down at her, but he looked just like Ray!His clothes were exactly the same, but his personality sure wasn't.His expression was solem and a bit angry.His firey eyes gazed deeply into hers.
"What are you doing here?This alley is off limits."He said jumping down from the rooftop.
When he jumped down Jacky noticed that he was very handsome.Jacky didn't say anything.
"I asked you a question."His expression got a bit angrier.
"There is no reason for me to answer, but I do have a question. Why is this alley off limits?"
"Hmph.That is none of your concern.But if it will make you leave, I have no choice.I found this alley, and I own it, understood.This is my personal training dish. I hope you noticed all the dents in the walls.This alley is dark, just like me."
"I couldn't care less about you, or your little dish. But what I am interested in, is to see you beyblade."
"Oh really?Chalange accepted. But I must warn you, it will be your last time, seeing your blade that is."
Jacky was not in a mood to answer.I can't describe the battle, but I will tell you that it was a tie.The boy had a bitbeast too.Driger.As they caught their blades in their hands, a shocked expression crossed their faces.When Jacky was about to leave, the boy interrupted her peace.
"Your name is Jacky, right?I've seen you beyblade before. You don't seem to like your little team."
"I wasn't the one to make decisions.But that is the past, they are not my team.They do not exist anymore.Beyblade is an induvidial sport. And they are weak, depending on each other."As Jacky responded she walked closer to the ladder.
"The name...... is Ray."
"Like I care."
Suddenly all the present was blocked from her mind, and she felt a tear slide down her face.Jacky wiped it off.Without looking back, she jumped on the roof, and quickly dissapeared into the evening shadows.
