[Winter]
Tala and Aurora sat on the wooden bench in front of the castle with pure white snow around them, covering the whole ground. They sat there, him making a snowman and her making a snowwoman.
With a giggle, she finished the last detail on her snowwoman and sat back, examining the snowwoman. Tala also sat back and looked at his snowman in front of him on the wooden table, he then turned to look at her and looked at her snowwoman, suddenly an idea came to his mind.
With a playful smile dancing on his lips, he reached forward and turned the snow made people toward each other, and slowly he pushed them together until their lips touched, they joined in a kiss. Tala took away his hands and looked on with half closed eyes, playfulness written all over his face. "I envy him."
She looked at the snow-couple, and smiled, then slowly her gaze travelled up from the snow-couple to Tala's face, his blue eyes watching the snow-couple. Her smiled deepened, she sat up and leaned forward, kissing him on the cheek, then just as quick as she did it, she turned away and pretended to be occupied by something else.
Tala froze for a second, surprise shone in his eyes, after a second he relaxed and turned to her slowly, she had a faint blush on her cheeks as she played with some left over snow, building nothing in particular.
"Aurora."
"Huh?"
She turned towards him, and was met by a soft kiss, she looked into his opened eyes, shining with laughter. Slowly, he closed his eyes and leaned into the kiss, she did the same and wrapped her arms around his neck as his arms found their way around her waist and pulled her closer to him.
[End of Flashback]
"Tala...." Aurora whispered as she slowly opened her eyes.
"Aurora." Kai's voice rang out, softer than usual, she blinked her eyes, snapping them back to focus.
"Kai... where am I?" Aurora asked weakly, her head hurts.
"We're back in your hut." He answered shortly, and she nodded, suddenly, she remembered something.
"Where's Dizzi? And how did we get out?"
"Aeris snapped out of her trance at the last second and used her 'Captain's only daughter' power and got us out, and about Dizzi... they got her, but we got the laptop back for Kenny. You were holding it so tightly in your arms that not even a group of men can pull it out of your grasp." He said archly, watching as she smiled embarrassed and turned her head away from the light.
They just stayed there in silence, before Kai frowned and spoke up in a harsh tone. "Stupid woman! What were you thinking pushing me away like that?" He asked sharply.
Aurora turned to him surprised, but he continued on. "You could have gotten killed! I would have been able to take it better than you did, after all, I am stronger than you!"
Aurora looked at him, unable to hide away the pain and sadness in her eyes. "Kai... I lost Tala in a situation like that, it was too much for me to bear. Even though I tried telling myself that having 3 months with him is enough for me, but everyone has a selfish side, and I do as well! I wanted to spend my entire life with him! But, I couldn't... I lost him because he tried to save me." She then closed her eyes and turned her head away. "Kai... I can't lose you... especially not in that same situation, I rather die than having you die for me. I can't lose you."
Kai looked at her and leaned forwards to turn her head back to him. "Aurora... you won't lose me, you'll never lose me, I'll always be here for you."
Aurora looked up at him and smiled, a tear slipped down her cheek, wetting a spot on Kai's finger. Suddenly, a scent was caught by her nose, she frowned slightly and eyed her doorway.
Slowly, she sat up and leaned back onto her bed and turned to look at Kai, whom is looking at her. "Kai, do me a favour and check on Kenny for me." Aurora asked.
"But..."
"Please."
Kai looked at her, then sighed and stood up. Soon, he disappeared behind the closed door. After a minute, she took in a breath and turned towards the door again.
"Jana, you can come in now."
After a second, the door inched open and Jana's head popped in, then she walked in looking confused. "How did you know I was outside?"
"How did you manage to dodge Kai?" Aurora answered her question with another question.
"I hid in the back, so he couldn't see me, since it was very dark, but..." Jana wiped off some water on her forehead. "It's raining outside, and you haven't answered my question yet."
Aurora smiled as Jana walked over. "Chanel No 5."
"Huh?" Jana asked confused and sat down where Kai was.
"Your perfum, very strong scent." She stated and Jana smiled as well, they stayed in silence, just listening to the rain drops onto the roof. Jana then looked at Aurora with worry in her eyes.
"Aurora, are you all right? It was a lazer gun! What were you thinking?" Jana asked unbelievably.
"It's all right, my back is numb to any sort of pain." She said easily, Jana looked at her confused.
Aurora placed her hair over her shoulders, exposing her back, then turned so that her back is towards Jana. Slowly, she pulled down the zipper of her dress and the back fell open, baring her whole back view, Jana gasped, horrified.
"There scars were obtained from when I was 4 to 9... 5 years, year after year, every single day." Aurora said coldly.
The whip scars on her back contrasts with the ivory color of her neck, the scars thick and deep, they covered her whole back, like tattoes, but with horrible memories.
"I can't feel anything on my back, I felt a little tap, it's the most I feel under circumstance, so I'm okay, I'm not hurt."
"Oh my God... Aurora, that's...."
"Ugly?" Aurora finished for her, then pulled up her dress and zipped it up, then turned and faced Jana calmly.
"No... just horrifying." Jana whispered, tears forming in her eyes. "That must have hurted."
"Not much, Tala's death hurted me more." She said quietly, enormous amount of sadness poured back into her eyes as she remembered the two days of waiting for him to wake up... the whole two days.
Suddenly, Jana looked up at her seriously. "Aurora, what about Kai?"
"What about Kai?" Aurora asked back.
Outside, Kai frowned and walked back to her hut again.
"You saved him... risking your life."
"And your point is..."
"I'll call off the engagement whenever you want." Jana offered.
Outside, Kai paused at the door after hearing Jana's offer, forgetting about the pouring rain.
"I don't want that."
"But you love him." Jana said with a pout.
Kai took in a deep breath, totally ignoring where he is.
"What makes you think I love him?" Aurora asked sharply.
"You saved him, or else he would be in your state right now, he may have taken the fall worse than you have, and..."
"That's enough." The two girls turned towards the doorway, where Kai is standing, soaking wet.
"But, Kai..." Jana started up again.
"I don't love him!" Aurora interruped her this time, firmly. Her eyes connected with Kai's, she turned her head away, hiding the pain in her eyes.
"She doens't love me." Kai echoed after her. "She would have done the same for whomever else that was in my place."
"That's not true! She pushed you away because..."
"Jana, enough!" Kai rose his voice, cutting off Jana, silencing the room. Kai just looked at Aurora, whom is just starring in front of her. Jana looked around the room nervously, the air is tense.
"Um... I'll go now, take care of yourself." Jana said carefully, standing up, she walked past Kai and left.
"I'm sorry you had to hear that." Aurora began, turning to look at Kai.
"Why? You still want to keep me safe? Why do you always treat me like your little brother?" Kai asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
"I never meant for you to get hurt." Kai was about to say something, but someone knocked on the door, and it opened.
Kenny walked in carefully, looking grave, he stopped in the middle of the room, still tired and dazed. "Aurora, thank you for getting Diz... my laptop back."
"No problem."
"Are...you all right?" Kenny asked again.
"Perfectly." Aurora said, a smile lit up her face.
[Head Hut]
Aeris slammed the door shut behind her, her father looked up and frowned, putting down his pen. "Aeris, where have your manners gone to?" He aksed disapprovingly.
"Where have your mind been?" She asked, unbelievably.
"Aeris Turner!" He warned, standing up quickly. "Watch your tone of voice!"
"Why did you capture Dizzi? What is your plan?"
"What none sense are yout alking about? I have no plan!" His eyes darkening.
"So, are you saying that you didn't order people to capture Dizzi? Are you saying that you didn't order them to take away Dizzi?" Aeris pressed on.
"Why would I..."
Someone knocked on the door, they both shifted their eyes to the servant that has entered the room. "Captain Turner," he then turned towards Aeris and bowed a bit. "Miss Turner." Aeris just looked at him.
"Captain Turner, sir, Mr. Dickenson has sent word to tell the chosen one to be careful, for many bit-beasts have fallen under a curse. No one knows the cause of this curse, but it's said that the only way that one can awaken from this curse is if their loved one cried for them."
"You may go now." Captain Turner nodded.
"Sir, here's what you wanted." The servant said, stepping up and handed him a little black box, which Captain Turner placed on his desk. The servant then bowed to them and left the room.
Again, quietness settled in, Aeris just looked at the black box intensely, and frowned. "Father, what is in that black box?"
"Nothing you should be concerned about." Her father's voice turning icy cold.
"I've heard of a legendary evil bit-beast called Cerebus... is that what's in the box?" She asked coldly.
Her father's face turned pale, his eyes widened, quickly, he picked up the box. Aeris walked up quickly and grabbed onto the other end of the box, they held on tightly, not letting go.
"Let go Aeris!" Her father ordered.
Aeris just looked at him determined, letting him know that she's not back down this easily. She smiled within herself, she should thank her mother, she had heard that she got her stubborness from her late mother. And surprisingly, her mother's stubborness was what attracted her father to her in the first place.
"Aeris, let go!" He yelled.
Aeris didn't let go, instead, she tagged the little box towards her a bit. Her father's right hand left the little box, it made contact with her face as she jerked backwards, the box flew onto the ground and opened up, the beyblade inside rolled out. Aeris stumbled back, but thankfully caught a chair in order to keep her balance.
She first starred at her father, then turned to look down at Cerebus lying on the ground. Then slowly, she touched her left cheek, her father looked enraged. "Get out! Get out of this room now!"
Aeris looked up at him, and with one glare, she turned and ran out of the room, into the pouring rain. Her father looked on with a frown, regret showing in his eyes.
Aeris ran towards nowhere, tears and rain mingled together on her face. Her father had slapped her because of a stupid beyblade... her father, the only one that truly loved her in these years. She was always the pearl in his hands, he had never yelled at her, or even rose his voice at her for any reason... today's a first. First time he yelled at her, first time he got mad at her, and first time he... slapped her.....
With a yelp, she tripped over a rock and fell onto the ground. She feels tired, very tired, she doesn't know where to go anymore. Her party dress is still on her, although right now, it's soaked with rain and covered in mud at the bottom part. She took in a deep breath, and shivered involuntarily due to the cold weather and hard rain. Her red hair sticking on her face, she's too lazy to push them away at this moment.
She sat there, with everything dark around, she feels very alone, never had she felt this alone in her life. Suddenly, she realized that no more rain is coming down at her, slowly, she blinked, a few rain drops rolled off the end of her hair, and she looked up.
Ray's worried face looked down at her, she tried a smile, but it came out no where near it. Ray frowned slightly and kneeled down, making sure the umbrella is still over their heads.
"Aeris..." Ray reached forward and brushed away the stands of hair that's sticking on her forehead, which she had wanted to brush away so many times. Slowly, and gently, he wiped away the remaining water drops on her face, let it be tears or rain. And soon, he fingered her left cheek softly, gently rubbing the finger mark on her face.
With a sniffle, she moved forwards and hugged Ray, burying her head in his chest and cried. Her shoulders shook softly, her cries muffled by his shirt. Ray wrapped his left arm around her, and just let her stay there and cry. His right hand lowered and made sure that the umbrella is still covering her.
With this pouring rain above their heads, they managed to find their sanctuary within each other.....
