Hypnotised and on a mission

When Kaie awoke the next morning she found her mom, as usual, up and ready to go to work.

"Honey" she said, "I am sorry about last night. I guess I just lost my temper. If you really want to go to that competition you may. Oh and I have a big business trip this weekend, so there are frozen dinners, labelled, in the freezer."

"Mom" she said, "What day is it today?"

"Well, its Friday dear, I'm leaving for my trip at noon. I'll have my cell if you need me and all the numbers are on the fridge..."

"Mom, I know"

"Just making sure honey. Bye, sweetheart"

"Bye mom"

"Wow" she thought, "She sure had a change off heart.

Wait a minute, Dranser did you mess with my mom? She knew what day it was, remembered dinner, and she said I could go to the tournament."

Dranzer said nothing behind the plastic protector. "So she isn't that stupid, well that's a good sign." He thought

Kaie glanced at her watch then her eyes bugged out as she re-read the time.

'Oh man I'm gonna be late.' Kaie thought as she rushed upstairs and grabbed her bag, although not before throwing her blade into it along with her launcher and gloves and a few other things.

Dranzer used his magic he made sure she got to school on time, as being late would result in detention, which meant that she would have little time to practice before the competition. At least that is the story he used to justify it.

She slid into homeroom where her grade ten peers waited, talking. As soon as she entered the room there was silence. It stayed that way until she left the room, at which whispering and snide remarks began.

Dranser watched all this with apprehension. What was wrong with Kaie? To him she was a nice girl, even with her past. He also noticed that she held her head proudly as she entered and held herself in a regal way.

"Figures" he thought, "She would never back down. That wasn't part of her nature." He smiled. He knew someone just like her.

He now completely understood his assignment. As she believed that there was no such team as the Blade Breakers or the fact that there was such thing as the "Golden Team", as Lee and Mariah were called, and until the night before she hadn't believed that bit-beasts existed. He would have to show her in order for her to believe him, and that wouldn't be easy.

Kaie left homeroom as soon as she could. She knew of the whispering, the giggles, and the snide remarks. She knew of it all, contrary to popular belief.

She raced to English, as it was her first class of the morning. She opened her binder and began reading the novel they were studying, it was called 'Ender's Game' and she loved the book, although almost everyone else despised it. One of the numerous reasons she was not well liked.

When lunch arrived she ate in the math classroom, which happened to be her next class. Kaie ate in silence and waited silently, just thinking until the class began. She was pretty good at math, so time passed quickly. After a particularly painful PE class she walked home. As soon as the door was locked she went to her room and began to blade.

After the tournament she would begin her real mission along with Dranser. He knew she would face the challenge as her relatives had. She would face it fearlessly.
