Chapter 11 Familiar Faces-bad memories
The BB rushed into the airport to check in. Thankfully the plane was delayed so the BB had just enough time. Sapphire slumped in her seat. She sat next to Kai and she had no problem with that, just Tyson sat on the other side of her pigging out. Sapphire watched in disbelief for a few minutes.
"I wouldn't watch if I were you." Sapphire broke out of her trance, and turned to Kai. He had his head bowed and his arms crossed. She nodded and rummaged through her bag again.
"Come on, come on, where is it?" She mumbled under her breath. Kai watched her from behind his bangs. "Ah, found you." Sapphire happily produced her CD Player and some CDs. She sorted them out and picked a random one. She put on her earphone and began to hum to the song. Lyric broke out of her mouth and she gently bobbed her head to the beat.
Perfect by nature
Icons of self-indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about a world that
Max and Ray stopped their chatting to listen to her. Tyson on the other hand continue to stuff his face. Kai didn't show it, but he relaxed just a bit.
Never was and never will be
Have you no shame don't you see me
You know you've got everybody fooled
' Her voice is so soft...' Kai caught himself in that thought. ' Damn, I am going soft.' Ray agreed with that thought, ' It's so sweet.'
Look here she comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh how we love you
No flaws when you're pretending
But now I know she
Sapphire opened her eyes and caught sight of Max and Ray staring at her. When they caught on they immediately turn the other way. She was just a tad bit curious if Kai was watching too. She peaked under her eyelashes and found Kai the same position he always was.
Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
Sapphire closed here eyes again and rested her head lightly and sung softly. She felt slightly embarrassed that they had heard her.
Without the mask where will you hide
Can't find yourself lost in your lie
Max and Ray began to dose and Sapphire felt very worn-out. After all who wouldn't after a day like that?
I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore
Sapphire's head lolled onto Kai's shoulder. He stiffened at the contact. He moved to push her off, but decided other wise.
Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody-
It never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Somehow now you're everybody's fool
"Sapphire wake up," Someone shook her. Sapphire groaned and blinked rapidly.
"Where are we?" She focused on Ray.
Ray let go of her and gave her a smile, "'Morning to you too, we are about to land." Sapphire nodded and stretched. She packed up her CD player and glanced at Kai; to find him looking out the window.
They walked to Moscow's hotel. Sapphire grumbled to herself about how cold it was.
"Hey, if it isn't Tyson," The All Starz walked up. Michael tossed his baseball up and down. Eyeing Sapphire the entire time. Sapphire frowned a moved behind Ray. Kai caught the exchange and he didn't like the way the maroon haired American was looking at her.
"So," Eddy walked up, "who's the new girl?" Judy, Steven, and Emily followed him.
"Mom!" Max jumped up and hugged Judy. "Maxi!" Sapphire smiled at the exchange.
Emily pushed her glasses up on her nose, "You are Sapphire Becer, winner of the Solo Tournament in America for 3 years, and you used to be Captain of the Digital Bladers, and-" Sapphire snapped Emily's laptop shut with a snap. Cutting her off.
"I believe I do know my own data," She said in a steady cool voice. Emily glared at Sapphire coldly. Sapphire walked back over to the BB. " I'll check us in." She disappeared through the crowd.
"Wow," Steven spared her a glance, "where did you pick her up." Ray narrowed his eyes, "We didn't pick her up from anywhere."
"Come on," Judy said sternly and with a nod to everyone they left.
"Are they gone yet?" Sapphire came up behind them again. "Oh yeah, Ray the White Tigers are over there."
"OK!" Tyson grabbed Sapphire and dragged her the way she came.
"Tyson let go!" Sapphire struggled to get out of his grip. Kai gave Tyson a glare and he let Sapphire go immediately. Sapphire rugged her arm and followed them in the back. To bad she wasn't watching were she was going.
WHAM she collided head on with someone. Sapphire ended up on her bottom. "I'm sorry." Sapphire looked up and her blue eyes collided with blue orbs. "Oh no..."
[---]
"Is she coming around Boris?"
"No Sir, not yet."
Sapphire/test experiment opened their eyes. She was floating in murkily green water. She could make out a few shapes. Going in and out of focus. Whispers filled her head. Images flashed before her eyes. Images of hunting with a pack, paws flying through the snow and the pack moved as one. Then stars replaced those.
She was looking up at the dark night sky...just with stars as company. Then warmth seeped into her. A being sat down next to her.
"Wow...mama, look what I found."
"SIR, SHE WAKING UP!"
"Get her out now-"
[---]
Sapphire groaned and grabbed her head. She was kneeling and her head buried on her knees.
"Sapphire are you ok?" someone placed their hand on her shoulder. She hissed at the contact. Her skin burned like hell.
"Stars..." Sapphire moaned softly.
"What did you do to her?" Someone shouted and the noise sounded like drills digging into her brain. An argument broke out. Bits and pieces filled into Sapphire's brain.
"Stop," she chocked out. "Stop the noise." She clutched the shirt of who ever was holding her.
"Kai, Sapphire isn't looking so good." Sapphire was coated with sweat and shaking slightly.
"Yo! Dude what is wrong with her?" She moaned again at the loudness. Moving her head toward the person's chest, trying to block out the noise.
"Hey, Mom may have some medication for this."
"Well deal with you later." Sapphire became aware she had been shifted in arms. "Kai...it hurts." She whimpered.
"Hold on Saph, we're almost there." Came Max's comforting voice.
