Digital Blade

Chapter 8 How good are you?

[--]= Scene change

[---]= Short flashbacks


"Uhhhhhhhh..." Sapphire trailed off. ' They need to give me time to think.' She pondered about in for some time. Should she, she just broke off with her original team. Yet if she stayed, that would mean seeing Lance's face tomorrow, and she was particularly thrilled about that. Sapphire sighed and then smiled. Looking up she gave her answer.

"I'm in!"

Sapphire walked into Digital Fortress' yard and looked around. She didn't see Lance around, but she did have to say goodbye to Sazuko and Namiko. She walked softly to the usual spot they met, but stopped short at the sight. Sazuko and Namiko were laughing and talking with Lance and Vinny. Rage clouded her senses, how far did this betrayal go? She slowly took a deep breath and let it out. She gritted her teeth and turn to leave.
Sapphire was really glad the Blade Breakers weren't here now. She didn't want them to think she was weak or anything like that. Hot tears streamed down her cold pale cheeks. She hadn't slept that night. In such a short time, her entire life had changed. Causing herself to began to question who she really was. Was this life really...real?
Too much didn't add up around her life. She could remember nothing up to her 13th year. The dreams she kept having since she got back from America. The dream on a woman named Kara, and a man named Matthew. Were they her parents? Sapphire shook herself mentally. ' Don't be stupid.' She chided herself. Her parents were Susan and David Becer. They had the birth certificate to prove it.
The cold wind blow on her face, reminding her she was still crying. She whipped off at the tears. She tried, at least.

"Saph, don't cry," Someone tried to console a young girl, about the age of 7. Four boys surrounded the fifth boy comforting her.
"Yeah Saph, we all make mistakes," a red head told her. The group of boys all appeared older than her, everyone except the midget purple hair kid.
The oldest one there, a blonde spoke up, "Come now Sapphire, I'll teach you how to disable alarms." The little girl, Sapphire, sniffed and stood up. On the ground was a snow-white falcon. It was all bloody. The blood seeped into the snowy grounds of an abbey, turning it a sickening red. She held out a hand to the taller violet hair boy and they lead her away.
The little girl turned once more, around and-

Sapphire started. She looked around and found herself sitting on the snowy ground of the park she was in. Not the snowy grounds of an abbey. She shook her head and stood up. She brushed the snow that clung to her now wet jeans.
That girl looked like her, a carbon copy, just smaller, younger. Sapphire gritted her teeth. She had some searching to do. She hurried home.

"What?" Max cried out, "nothing is known about Sapphire until she was 13?!" Mr. Dickenson sighed and rubbed the bridges of his nose tiredly. Hillary shook her head in silent shook, while Ray just blinked, Tyson had his mouth dropped open, and Kai frowned.
Tyson snapped his mouth shut, "She could be evil." He splattered out. Mr. Dickenson shook his head. "Not much is known about Sapphire. The orphanage just said she appeared one day. Just wondering the streets. She was 13."
"Is it possible that-" Ray started uneasily, "that she had been tempered with by Biovolt?"
Kai abruptly stood up, "Biovolt didn't train girls."
"What's Biovolt?" Hillary asked. Max clamped his hand over her mouth and laughed nervously. Kai glared and left the room.

Sapphire rummaged through the attic mumbling to herself as she went. " Ah!" she found the family album. She began frantically flipping through all the pages. After flipping through 10 of them she stopped. There were no pictures of her, as a child at all. She sighed and covered her face with her hands. She hand a lot of thinking to do.

"Target in hand," A cold voice spoke out of a bush, into a mike at his ear. All you could see of the person was the nose of the sniper pointing at Sapphire in the attic. "Order sir?"

"Shot."
