A/N: As requested, there will be a bloody murder.
Walking through the shadows of the castle hallway, the figure moved with the grace of a cat toward their intended target. They opened the door to the targets room. The target's raven hair gleamed with the moonlight coming in through the window. The figure moved close to the sleeping form of Ray, their golden cat-like eyes shining with murderous glee.
Studying the face of the Bladebreaker, the figure whispered, "You thought all was forgiven. How stupid can you be?" The figure laughs maliciously before pulling a butcher knife from their bag. A shaft of moonlight glinted off the knife and onto Ray's face. The tiger awoke to find a person standing over him with a knife, at the ready to plunge it into him.
The figure raised the knife and stabbed Ray in the gut. He groaned in pain and got a look at the figure's face in the pearlescent moonlight. He asked, "Why? Why are you doing this? I thought we were friends". The figure moved their face closer, saying, "Because you betrayed us, you betrayed me and that I could not forgive". She plunged the knife into his stomach again.
The figure's hot pink colored hair turned crimson because of all the blood splatter. She left the room carefully closing the door behind her. Ray is lying on the bed, gasping for breath until finally a death rattle emits from his throat. The grandfather clock tolled three times as the figure laughed softly and whispers, "It's what he deserved".
At breakfast that morning, everyone arrived on time, ready to eat and then train. Max turns to Kai and asks, "Where is Ray?" Kai looks around and responds, "I don't know. I'll go see if he is up yet". No one notices the small smile on Mariah's face as she hears the concern of his teammates. Kai stands up and walks up the stairs, heading toward Ray's room.
Kai opens the door, looks at the bed, and lets loose a blood-curdling scream. Everyone downstairs hears the scream and run up the stairs to find out what the problem could be. Tala reaches Kai first and looks upon Ray's dead body before turning to the phoenix and hugging him, moving him away from the doorway. Robert looks into the room and then stops everyone else from seeing the grisly scene by shutting the door. Robert commands, "Oliver, call the police, right now".
Kai starts to whisper, "I didn't think they were serious, why Ray? Why didn't they kill me? I'm the one they want anyway". Everybody still standing in the hallway, turns to Kai with questioning looks, all except the Bladebreakers. Gypsy walks over to Tala and Kai. She looks him dead in the eye and slaps him hard. "Get a grip," she says before telling Tala, "Take him to his room, get him to lie down or something". Tala removes Kai from the scene and Robert asks, "What was he mumbling about?" She turns to him and responds, "Gather everyone in the sitting room downstairs and I will explain for Kai and the rest of the Bladebreakers".
The police arrived and took pictures; they called in the coroner. The coroner pronounced him dead and then put Ray's body in the body bag. The police questioned everyone and then told Robert that they would get back to him on the investigation. Everyone had gathered in the sitting room as Gypsy had requested.
Gypsy clears her throat and then begins, "This is how Kai explained it to me a few days ago. His parents were murdered when he was five, then he was sent to the Abbey. His grandfather brought him back to Japan when he was eleven and put him in boarding school. Kai started a little gang using beyblades as weapons and then they started to take the other kids blades. It was last year that he met Tyson and the rest of you, well most of you. Tyson won world Championship and he was shown in the newspapers and magazines along with the other Bladebreakers. Then, while waiting to come to this tournament Kai started having the nightmare about finding his parents dead, which is what actually happened. And now it appears that the killer has started to fulfill their promise to kill all of us, until only Kai is left and then kill him too".
Looking around the room, Gypsy saw shock register on everybody's faces. "Now, since Tala has not come down here to hear an explanation, I can only assume Kai told him sometime yesterday".
"Kai, please, calm down. I know Ray was your friend, but I refuse to allow you to remain hysterical" Tala told Kai, while lying beside him on Kai's bed, holding him. Kai cries into the wolf's shirt while clinging onto him for all he is worth. Kai spoke, "If they can get to Ray within this castle then they can get to any of us". Tala stroked Kai hair and started to hum a Russian lullaby. Kai listened to Tala's heartbeat and the song and fell asleep quickly.
A figure watched from a safe distance in the trees as the police arrived and then the coroner. "I wonder what happened?" the figure said and then he saw the body bag. "Someone is moving in on my territory. I will have to put a stop to this," the figure said before returning to their hideout.
