Chapter X: Tears And The Rain
VFD
Valon: Hey, what's up? F.d. isn't here, but she will be next time. This chapter I wrote, and there isn't any lemon, but a lot of sexual content. If you like, review it, please. You don't, oh well, your loss, man.
A lot of what had happened to Sarah started from when she moved to Russia from Japan. All the drama and mayhem started there. She lived in Russia from when she was two to when she turned nine. And each day was filled with drama and chaos. The day her parents got a divorce, the day her little brother was born, the day she moved from Russia to America and lived in Destiny City, the day both her parents got married to different people, the day she got a new family, and the day she became a pop star. There were even some parts of her past she couldn't remember, like as if she blocked them out. Those must've been very chaotic and dramatic.
Now, where she was an arcade in Germany with Alister and Valon. She stood before a game of dancing. Two people had to stand on a stage of colorful platforms with arrows on them before a huge screen that had the arrows flying up all the while party music and a voice commentated. The point was to hit the platform with the same arrow on it with your feet while you're dancing to the music. A Dance Game.
Up on the stage were two boys. One looked like he was fifteen with flashy red hair and ice blue eyes. His face was perfectly light, and he was so cute. Sarah had this strange feeling like she knew him. But how? She didn't even know his name. His opponent was a sixteen-year-old boy with black, gelled-back hair and brown eyes. The red headed boy defeated him in a flash. He was really good.
"Is there no one who can withstand my might?" he called out to the crowd. He scanned the crowd of people, and his eyes landed on Sarah. For a moment, they hesitated. Then he smiled. "Will the girl in black please come up and play?"
Sarah smiled, and then looked at Valon and Alister, who nodded. She smiled and ran up the stairs onto the stage. With one hand, she ripped off her jacket to reveal her spunky, black outfit under it. She was wearing all black, a black tank top with a collar that reached up her neck, a black mini-skirt over a pair of black stockings, and a pair of black boots. Sarah's black hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and she wore dark make-up and her eyes sparkled under thick eyelashes.
"Say, girl, what's your name?" the red head asked.
"Sarah. You ready to play?" she asked, turning to screen.
The boy started the game, and as soon as the music, started, Sarah's body was moving so stealthily, so elegantly, so perfectly as she danced opposite of the boy, who was awed beyond belief, as well as the crowd. She spun her body, her feet dancing against the platforms so perfectly.
"PERFECT!"
"EXCELLENT!"
"SWEET! YOU GO!"
"Go, Sarah!" Valon called from the crowd. Alister just smiled. Across Sarah's face was a smile he hadn't seen in a long time. It was like she was having as much fun as she did back then.
"Go Guardian Eotos! Finish him off!"
"You're doing great, Sarah. Keep it up!"
"You really think so, Alister?"
"Yeah, you have the stuff to become a world champion, even."
"No, I'll never be a world champion. But I love Beyblading!"
"We know you do."
"I enjoy Beyblading with you, Alister! You and Valon!"
"Sarah…"
Sarah was having so much fun. You could easily tell. Suddenly, Sarah began to slow down. The game was coming to a stop. And Sarah had beaten him. By now the crowd was awed beyond all belief and disbelief.
"That girl is good."
"Yeah, she beat him fair and square."
"She's lovely, beautiful, and dance moves to go with it."
"Sarah's doing really good."
Alister nodded to Valon's remark. Suddenly, the game to a stop. Sarah and the boy both had smiles on their faces. When Sarah was declared the winner. The red head boy looked tired out, but on his face was a bright smile.
"You're an excellent dancer," he said.
"Thanks, you, too. Hope we meet again," Sarah said.
"Oh, I think we will. I mean, I haven't danced with anyone like that anywhere but in my dreams," the boy said, but when Sarah looked back at him, he was gone.
She went with Alister and Valon out of the arcade, and they walked together down the street. Sarah had planned on spending the whole day with them seeing as how Robert didn't feel like going out that day. Now it was closer to night than afternoon, and there was a beach nearby Sarah wanted to go to see the sunset. As Alister and Valon stood with on the beach, starring out at the horizon as the sunset filled the sky with colors as beautiful as anything, Sarah sighed happily.
"I don't think I've seen a sunset this beautiful since I was in Destiny City," Sarah said.
"You homesick, huh?" Valon said. "I know that feeling."
"Alister should know that feeling. You still live with Savannah in Australia," Sarah said.
"I do miss her and Australia. How can I deny it? Me and Valon grew up there," Alister confessed. Sarah smiled and gripped his hand. As the three of them starred out into the horizon, they thought about their families and how they missed them so. They thought of their homes and how they would greet them when they returned. As they were deep in thought, they couldn't hear the footsteps approaching them, but the familiar voice that spoke was what broke them from their thoughts.
"Hey, I told you we would meet again," the voice spoke. Sarah, Alister, and Valon were broke from their thoughts and they turned around and came face to face with the red head boy from the arcade. Upon his face was a smile unlike any other. A satisfied smile with a little mischief in it.
"Hey, it's you, from the arcade," Sarah said. "How did you-?"
"I just did. Listen, I want a rematch for that game earlier. So how about it? You ready to take me on again?" the boy asked.
"I don't know. We can meet you at the arcade in an hour," Sarah said.
"No, I don't mean like that. I want a beybattle against you," he said, pulling out a silver gray Beyblade. Something about it was familiar to Sarah, but what?
"Um…" it had been a long time since Sarah had Beyblade, she stopped three years ago when she accidentally hurt a kid younger than her. She didn't want to hurt anyone anymore. But maybe….
"Go ahead. No one will get hurt. It's been a long time. Maybe you should…."
Yeah, it would be nice to refresh her skills. She pulled out a goldish yellow Beyblade and a black launcher from her pocket and locked her Beyblade on, and ripped the ripcord through. The boy pulled out a familiar launcher and locked the gray beyblade on. Sarah starred at it for a while until the boy yelled, "GO!", and she launched it.
The patterns of the way this Beyblade moved was so familiar. It moved so rhythmically, so perfectly, like hers. It was amazing. And for the first time ever, Sarah was having fun beybattling. Her beyblade moved weightlessly over the sand, like as if floating perfectly over it. Valon and Alister watched behind her, noticing the familiarities of the boy's beyblade. Suddenly, the boy yelled out a name that shocked all three of them.
"Go, Wolborg!" he yelled. Like as if a bullet was shot through her head, Sarah gasped, her face growing pale and her eyes widening.
"T-Tala?" she asked.
"I was hoping you would eventually recognize me, Sarah. I didn't mean to play games with you," the boy said with a smile, his eyes sparkling marvelously.
"Tala? Man, what happened to you?" Valon asked, shocked to see him.
"I grew up, like us all. But no matter how much I grew, I never forgot about you, Sarah," Tala said. "But apparently, you have of me."
"I…I didn't mean to. I just…I just…. I don't know what I did," Sarah confessed. "But I'm so sorry."
"It's alright. But after all these years, after all this waiting, I can finally say what I've always wanted to say to you when I would see you again," Tala said, waving a hand to silence her.
"And that would be?" Alister asked.
Tala smiled at him, then turned back to Sarah. "I'm sorry, Sarah. I'm so sorry for what I did," he spoke, tears forming behind his eyes. One even fell from his face.
"Sorry? Sorry for what-?" Again a shock wave, like a bullet, shot through Sarah's head. But this time her head burst into such agonizing pain it was like her head was about to split in two. She let out a scream, a scream that echoed from the oceans to the sky. Tala covered his ears and Alister and Valon, trying not to hear, rushed to her side. Vague memories rushed into her head like bullets.
"He's the guardian of lost children. He'll protect your soul from wickedness."
"Oh, grandfather, he's beautiful."
"You've fought so long against him, it's time to set aside your differences and be friends."
"But…how do I know I can trust him again?"
"No one knows whether we can trust anyone. Just give him a second chance."
"Sarah! Sarah, I'm here," came a voice, so soft, so elegant, so comforting. It embraced Sarah as it spoke. Sarah's head lifted up as the pain drifted slowly away. Her memories, they were vague, but she can still see them. The ones she had blocked out from fear. The ones she had shunned away because she couldn't handle them. But now she didn't feel the pain. It was like an angel was possessing her, holding her, taking away her pain. It was so heavenly.
"Eotos…Eotos, Burning Staff of Light!" Sarah said, standing up to continue the battle. Her blade picked up speed, so much speed; it was hard to keep up. As her blade spun right at Tala's and collided, the bit began to glow a beautiful bright blue. From it emerged a figure. It was hard to tell what it was by the light, but once it disappeared, white feathered angel wings spreaded, blonde hair flowed down, silver blue eyes opened, maroon face paint shined, brown and white Native American clothes covering, and an eagle's head atop the blonde hair. Beautiful Guardian Eotos, Sarah's bitbeast. Eotos turned to her and smiled. He would always protect her.
"Alright, Sarah, this will remind you of a lot more than just me! Wolborg, Novae Rog!" Tala yelled. A blue light, bright, like hers, flew out, at first thing, the air grew stiffly cold and Sarah trembled in the cold. But then a figure emerged from it, a figure that looked human, glowing white eyes and long silver hair, silver wolf ears emerging from beneath the air, but then the figure disappeared and standing in its place was a beautiful, gorgeous, ice white wolf.
"Heh. You forget, I know your moves inside out," Sarah cried. Her beyblade jumped into the air, and Eotos flew away just as Wolborg pounced on him, about to sink his claws into his chest. As Wolborg skidded on the sand, Sarah smiled. She had Beybattled Tala several of times before, but never like this. This beybattle was unlike any other. Sarah felt like it represented a new life, a new future with her friends, and boyfriend, Robert. A tear formed in her eyes, but it quickly faded as the battle continued, and in the end it was a tie.
Sarah picked up her Beyblade and looked at it with a smile. Eotos, thank you for protecting me and guiding me through all this hell, she thought.
As Sarah and Tala talked to each other of how their lives went, the day continued on, and soon it was well into the night. Soon Sarah and Tala were just as much as good friends as they were before, but things still weren't the same.
"Master, what of the girl? Isn't she important to ya?" asked the Irish and excited Jin, his wild red hair frailing over his head, his pointy ears twitching in different directions. The silence of the room was what caused his ears like that. Normally a noisy room he hated, but a quiet room like this always caused him to listen more intentively than usually.
"Yes, I need her, Jin. She's the most important part of my plan," spoke Malik. Jin's dark blue eyes turned toward the shadows to where he had heard a rustling noise, like a cape following, swiftly against the ground after the owner's footsteps.
"Well, when do we put our plan into action to kidnap her. You've already tormented her to the brink of her shunning out her memories. Do you seriously believe that you need to do any more harm to her?" Jin asked.
"Heh heh. You flatter me, Jin. But yes, I do. I need her. And seeing how she has been reunited with Tala, it'll fit snugly into my plans. Once Alara is born, I will have no need for Sarah, but until then, she must remain alive and scared. I will torment her in her nightmares, force her to vaguly remember the painful memories of her past, and when the time is right, force her relive them," Malik said.
"What about Eotos? Alister? Valon? And her new boyfriend, Robert?" Jin asked.
"All of it fits into plan. I didn't plan for it, but it does. Robert sees Alister and Valon up on stage with Sarah, dancing, goes jealous, breaks up with her, Eotos will leave eventually due to Sarah's depression, and when her guard is down, she's mine," Malik said. "Her worst weakness lies within her nightmares, her worst fears are of being alone, her depressing thoughts of no one caring. Soon, those what she fears most will become reality."
Malik laughed evilly while Jin stood behind him, his wild, excited blue eyes lowering sadly. What did his master have against Sarah Lavigne? What on Earth did she do to him?
"See ya later, guys!" Sarah waved as she ran up the street to the castle. She still hadn't introduced the others to Robert, and she was starting to plan on how to do so. As she ran through the courtyard, Gustav, the head butler, waved at her, and she waved back.
For some reason Sarah was so happy, like she hadn't been happy in awhile, and was looking at the world in a new way. As she ran into the castle, her black hair flowed beautifully behind her, so elegantly, so perfectly, it was amazing as the butlers and cleaners watched her run up the stairs. In fact, Sarah was so happy, she didn't even notice she was singing, which was what attracted all their attention.
As Sarah ran into her room, she laughed as she pounced onto her bed, like a cat itself and buried her face in her white, roses scented pillow. Within the blackness of her head she imagined her life years from now, still living in this castle with Robert, happy, still with her friends now, and living a happy life. As she drifted into sleep, the distant sound of motors running echoed in the night, and as they grew louder, the sounds faded from Sarah's reality as she drifted into her own little dream world. Who would have suspected after this night, her life would change forever?
"Everything okay, Tiffany?" Enrique asked, noticing Tiffany was standing outside in the night, starring at the sky.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm okay. But I think something isn't with one of my friends. We have that connection," Tiffany said.
"Oh, well, what do you think is wrong?" Enrique asked.
"I don't know. But something just isn't right. This night seems too peaceful, too quiet. I don't know, I think it just might be me. Me and the others aren't used to these kind of nights. We live in a busy, bright city, and there was hardly one night where you could see the stars and the moon as clearly and brightly like this," Tiffany said.
"Well, if you want to make sure, you can call them," Enrique said.
"Nah, they're probably still asleep. Sarah sometimes falls asleep before eight, even. We took her to the doctors once when she fell asleep right in the middle of a class," Tiffany said, smiling at the memory.
"What did he say? Was there something wrong with her?" Enrique asked.
Tiffany shook her head, but Enrique did not see what her eyes said. They said yes deep inside them. The reason she did not speak the truth was because, when all four girls found out the truth, Sarah made them to swear on their friendship not to tell anyone, not a soul, or else no longer be a friend at all. Tiffany cared so much for her friends, but she swore not to tell a soul, even if that meant not being honest to Enrique. She didn't even tell David. Tiffany just hoped it wouldn't be like last time....
Sarah, please be alright, Ines thought as she starred up at the sky. She smiled as Johnny came up next to her.
"Beautiful night, huh?" he asked. Ines nodded.
"It certaintly is. I haven't seen a night like this in years," Ines said.
"Really?" Johnny asked.
"Yes. The city me and the girls live in is Destiny City, it's quite large, packed with people, busy twenty-four, seven, four, twelve. There was never a night in that city that was as beautiful as this one. I guess I've just been living in the wrong city," Ines explained.
Johnny smiled and wrapped his arms around Ines' neck in a loving way. Ines smiled, but deep inside, what she was holding in, was that she knew something was wrong. Though the night was beautiful and calm, there was something wrong with one of her friends. And she knew just who. Sarah....
"Valon, what's up?" Alister asked, coming onto the rooftop of their hotel, finding Valon at the railing of the edge starring out at the night.
"It's Sarah. Something's up, I just know it, mate," Valon said.
"She's alright. We know she is," Alister said, removing his sun glasses, revealing his eyes.
"I know, but she's never acted the same as she did since she was...well, you know what I mean," Valon said.
"She's still here, isn't she? Don't worry, by morning, this feeling will vanish," Alister said.
"Let's just hope Sarah doesn't vanish with it," Valon responded.
Valon: Alright, so I lied, not at all. But if you like, please review. I doubt there'll be anymore lemon in this story, but if there will be, it'll be rape, so watch out. Anyways, review if you want, F.d. will be back next chapter.
