Chapter 7: Crushed Hopes
Johnny's P.O.V.
I woke up in the hospital, or at least I thought I was. I opened my eyes, and glanced around. I tried to move, but my whole body ached. Dammit. I hated when my father decided to take out his anger on me. Especially when it wasn't my fault. I looked down at my right arm, the one he had so savagely beaten. It was in a cast, all the way up to my elbow. I guess I was lucky he didn't damage my spine. But my shoulders and my stomach hurt. Maybe I was stupid trying to reason with my father. Maybe not. But I did save Max a few blows. I wonder why he came after me. I was alerted by the sound of a door opening. I looked towards where the door was, and saw, oh dear god, Robert. Why did he of all people have to be the first to see me? He approached my bed, and the look on his face made me feel sick. "Salamulyon was put to good use. Griffolyon enjoyed absorbing his energy. Here's your blade back." Robert tossed me the blade, and since I couldn't move my right arm to catch it, the blade fell to the floor. Robert glared at me. "So, you don't want it eh? Fine then." Before I could even protest, he had walked forward and I heard the crunch as he crushed my blade. "You are officially off the team, Johnny. Good riddance." Robert said, as he turned on his heel and left the room. I felt my breath catch up in my chest. I didn't want to look down at the crushed form of my blade, the one my mother had built for me before she died. I could feel the tears starting to come to my eyes, but I fought them back. No, I wouldn't cry. I had to be strong. I took a deep, shaky breath, as I tried to regain myself. Then, I heard someone come in.
Chaz's P.O.V.
I admit, I had been eavesdropping on Robert and Johnny's conversation, and I was surprised to hear the way Robert talked to him. I was somewhat confused, especially by Robert's words: "So, you don't want it eh? Fine then." What in the world was he talking about? I was curious to find out, and as soon as he left, I went in. It all became clear to me when I saw the crushed blade, and Johnny's face. No matter how hard he was trying to hide it, I saw it. His eyes gave away everything. I heard someone come up behind me, but I didn't bother to look who it was. I knew. It was Tala. I had listened to his footsteps for some time now, and I could recognize them quite well. "Hey Tala." I murmured. Tala stood beside me, keeping his blind side towards me. I guess it made him feel safe. I sensed he was unsure, of me, and of himself. I wanted to help him, but I didn't know how. I decided that I would ask him later, but now I had to deal with Johnny. I walked towards his hospital bed, Tala following me like my shadow. "At least he didn't step on my heels." I thought to myself. "Hey." I said softly, looking down at Johnny.
Tala's P.O.V.
I followed Chaz into Johnny's hospital room, keeping close behind her. Ever since Brian had attacked me, I guess I've been a little more jumpy. And since Chaz was one of the people who saved my life, I feel safer around her. Did I say people? That would hardly describe Chaz. She's about as much cat as she it human. With the ears, and the tail, not to mention the whiskers and the claws on her feet, she's just about as cat-ish as you can get. And I thought the Lee was as much of a cat as you could be! But, oh well. Then, a sparkle caught my attention. I looked down at the ground to a sight I was all-to-familiar with; a crushed blade. I bent down to examine the pieces, and I picked them up. It was damaged pretty badly, but it could be put back together. I turned my attention to Johnny, and Chaz started to talk to him.
Johnny's P.O.V.
I looked up at the girl who was talking to me. She had those cat-eyes that reminded me of Rei's. When I took a closer look at her, I recognized her. She had been one of my friends at school, when she lived in Scotland. But she moved away a while ago. It had been a long time since I'd seen her. "Hey Chaz." I mumbled back, not really in the mood for talking. "What's wrong?" Chaz asked me, and I met her eyes with mine. Chaz had always had an ability for sensing other people's feelings, and I had been no exception. I took a deep breath. There was no running away now. "Robert accused me of stealing Kai's bit beast...and then my father over-heard and took me to the house, where he beat me." "He still beats you, eh?" Chaz said softly. I nodded. She had saved me a couple of times from one of my father's beatings. "Then, you brought me here, and Robert..." I stopped, trying desperately not to cry. "Robert took Salamulyon's energy for Griffolyon, and then he...tossed me the blade...but, I couldn't catch it, and he..." I stopped again, closing my eyes. I managed to stammer out the last words. "D- d-destroyed my..." I couldn't finish. I started crying. I tried to stop the tears from falling down my cheeks, but it was no use. I turned my head sideways, in an attempt to hide the fact that I was crying, but there was no doubt in my mind that Chaz knew. She always knew these things.
Chaz's P.O.V.
I stared at him for a moment, trying to figure out a way to comfort him. I knew he was trying to hide the fact that he was crying, but I didn't mind. He had always been one of those guys that hated to cry because they thought it showed weakness. I sighed, and put a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "It's alright Johnny." I heard him choke, and then he stammered. "B-but that w-was the blade my mother built me before she..." He stopped again, but I knew what he was going to say. I had only seen Johnny cry one other time, and that was when his mother had died. "I'll help you fix it." I said finally. I looked around the room, trying to find something that would take Johnny's mind of his current situation. My eyes caught sight of a TV. It was worth a shot. "Tala, turn on the TV will yah?" I said, and Tala flicked it on. Johnny sat up, wiping the tears from his eyes with the back of his sleeve. The news was on. I pulled up a chair and sat beside his bed, watching to see what they would say.
Johnny's P.O.V.
As the news reporter rambled on, I heard Chaz make some snoring noises, and I smiled slightly. She hated watching the news, and I could see she was very tempted to change the channel. Just then, something the news reporter said caught my attention. "Just in, a team called the All Starz has just been robbed of their bit beasts! They don't know who the mysterious thief was, but the only one who seemed to keep her bit beast was the girl known as Emily. Beybladers are cautioned to keep a close watch on their blades, as this is the third case of bit beast theft. The first was Kai, one of the Bladebreakers, and the second was Gary, a member of the White Tigers. Who will this enigmatic thief rob next? This is Julie signing off. (Tsuki: I dunno about the name, but I couldn't think of one. Never watch news)
Tala's P.O.V.
I stared at the TV. So Kai wasn't the only one who had a bit beast stolen! I wasn't sure it this was Boris's work, but I was pretty sure it wasn't. Why would he leave only certain bit beasts? Perhaps the others were more guarded than the ones stolen.
Chaz's P.O.V.
I didn't know, but I was going to find out.
