Thank you my three lovely reviewers.
LILmrs.SOCIALbutterfly: Thanks I will do my very best!
skyblue-tiger: Well, the characters are me and my friends. I had them pick which one, so I got Kai.
rebecca-1769: Thank you for the nice compliment. I'm doing good how about you?
Waking up slowly, she blinked several times before realizing the figures on the floor next to the couch she was sleeping on. Her teammates, her friends were sleeping next to her. Izuma smiled and poked Lauren slightly. Lauren's eyes fluttered and she let out a small yelp of joy to see her friend awake. While hugging Izzy, this gesture awoke the others. Hanna tackled Izuma and Lauren, Stacy let out a sigh of relief, and Steph just smiled happily.
" Izuma, you made quite a scene. I mean fainting is one thing, but fainting on our rival team's captain." Hanna smiled evilly. " What's even weirder is that he carried you to the couch and you snuggled up awfully close to him." Izuma coughed and her cheeks started to get warm.
" Well, I wouldn't blame you. He is kinda cute." Steph smirked at Izuma. In which she got a glare for a response.
" Not fraternizing with the enemy, Stephanie!" Lauren gasped at Steph. " Plus remember we have to sing at the tournament? Remember? We promised no distractions." Steph did a double-take and faked gasped.
" No really?" Her voice dripping with sarcasm. " I wouldn't have guessed! Plus we never said no cute distractions!" She fake swooned.
" Shut up, Steph. Now cut your stupid rambling and listen. I don't mind about hanging with them just keep our beyblading affairs away from them. No battling with them no matter what." Izuma smirked slightly and tried to get up. Her legs wobbled and she fell back on the couch. Muttering some swear words feeling weak she decided she wanted to be alone. " Leave…"
" But, Izzy please let me help you." Lauren extended her hand but Izuma scoffed and slapped it away.
" I don't need any help. Dammit! LEAVE!" Izuma shouted. Lauren quickly usher the other three girls in their rooms before bidding Izuma good night. Lauren silently prayed for her best friend's broken heart to be mended and mended soon.
Izzy's Point of View-
Having a battle in her head she painfully grabbed her throbbing skull and rubbed her temples slowly. 'I don't need any one… I hate these damn weaknesses! I fucking hate them! And who the hell does this guy thinks he is. Treating me like some damned damsel in distress. I don't need his nasty help. Screw this…' With that Izuma grabbed her leather trench coat. Opening and slamming the door the walls shook.
Normal Point of View-
Lauren ran out of her room followed by the rest of the BladeRockers. Huffing slightly praying for patience.
" Oh shit" Lauren rubbed her side temple. " That girl and her temper…" Waving her hand dismissively she walked back in her room followed by Stacy as they all went back to bed.
Following Izuma-
Still fuming at her weak state she crossed through the boys quarters and exited the room with a slam. Letting out a scream she ran as fast and hard as she could. Memories of her dark past swirled in front of her.
' A man stood in the dark corners of her room watching her every move. Waiting for the sweet child to sleep. Once the 8 year old was in dreamland. The man gagged her and ripped her of her innocence. This was repeated to the little girl till her early teens. Remembering going to middle school wearing long-sleeves and lots of foundation to hide the bruises and cuts.
One night with tears flowing from her eyes." Why daddy? Why are you so mean?" The small framed girl asked her father before the nightly routine began.
" Because you are a bad girl who needs to be punished for your sins little one. Now be good and don't make a sound or I'll have to punish you… Harder." A sadistic grin made the young girl whimper. The next day the girl ran away only to be taken in by a girl named Lauren Mauel, Izzy's best friend.
End Flashbacks-
Her life became better, Izzy trained hard to become the best beyblader. Her straight A's and life seemed almost perfect until she was adopted by the Mauels. Her life couldn't get any better but these night terrors still frightened her. She hated the feeling of being weak and depending on someone else. The thing that kept the BladeRockers together was the fact that they had been through trials in their lives.
Lauren's parents even though sweet and caring still expected Lauren to be perfect. Her grandfather would hit her if she made any mistake. Lauren became obsessed in being perfect.
Hanna was physically abused before being adopted by her new parents. Her real father was a drunk and her real mother was a prostitute. Child services found out of the illegal use of drugs and child abuse and took Hanna away.
Stacy being a 16 year old genius. Before she was 14 she graduated college but not before being ridiculed by college students. Molested by her Physics Professor she became distant with family and friends finding it hard to concentrate she resorted to suicide, but failed thanks to Becky, Stacy's younger sister.
Steph was in five abusive relationships. All different one was physically abusing her, one was sexually abusing her, one was cheating on her and using her, one was verbally abusing her, and her last one had mentally scarred her for life. She had to resume to leaving her 5 year old brother with her aunt because her mom and dad were selling her brother Cole to do child sex tapes for money, to buy drugs.
Izzy sighed… Sitting down outside underneath the cloudy night sky a light wind ruffled her hair ever-so slightly. She leaned against the oak tree in the park. Remembering her promise never to feel weak. She hated it. It brought back her darkest memories that still made her eyes hazy. Making her feel useless and pathetic, like she deserved what happened to her. But Lauren and her teammates had told her it wasn't anyone's fault but her disgusting father's. Tears clung to her eyes as she recalled how painful it was.
Hearing slight movement she brought her head up to meet a pair of concerned mahogany orbs, staring at her own denim blue one. Like searching for answers. Kai leaned down to get a better look.
Speaking so softly she could barely hear, " Do you not remember me, Butterfly?" This name not only brought tears to her eyes, but down her cheeks they fell.
" Phoenix? Is that really you?" She asked hopefully. Her eyes clouded with tears only being able to see the slight nod he gave her. Crying out a small scream she tackled him and wrapped her arms around his neck. Sobbing onto his shirt she clung to him like frightened little girl.
Kai's Point of View-
'It is Butterfly! I haven't seen her since we were five. She's changed, but why? She used to be a happy child full of life and excitement. But here she is lying on top of me in the middle of a Venice ( I forgot to mention they landed in Venice. Forgive me it was my first chapter I have ever posted.) park crying her heart out. And why was she so cold to me? She should have recognized me. Aw… Crap she's crying harder.'
Rubbing her back slightly he made soothing noises in her ear. He heard her mumble something. Placing his large hand on the square of her back he pushed himself and her up. Kai heard her squeak, he tilted her chin as asking her to repeat herself. She sighed and looked him straight in the eyes.
" Kai, can I please sleep with you. I'm scared!" With that came more sobs and his shocked expression he turned soft. Quickly picking her up in his arms bridal style he carried back into the suite ignoring the odd and suprised looks from his teammates and into their room. He laid her now sleeping form on the bed, locking the door so no one would intrude suprisingly. Kai crawled in beside her. Placing a protective arm around her waist he whispered in her ear.
" Fear not my butterfly, your phoenix will protect you from the dark." With that he also fell into a dreamless slumber.
Boo-Yah! 1,483 words! Not including characters!
That is by far my biggest chapter. It's 10:40 P.M and I started at 7: 35. Little over three hours. This chapter was a bit confusing but all will be explained in later chapters. Review! Kisses and remember to Kickass!
