Chapter 10: Awakening and Mrs. Bunov
--It has been one week now and Bryan doesn't wake up. Much has happened while he's sleeping:
Kai and Tala are planning of escape. Ian is studying languages and now he's abroad and Spencer's worried sick.
Everything's chanced. Everything.
Training doesn't move on and no one actually focus on it anymore.
Spencer's badly hurt, Tala's crying and Kai's angry. What has happened?
Tala grabs Kai's wrist and tries to talk to him but that's no use. Simply there's nothing what would chance Kai's mind. Nothing. No-one. Kai speaks, but you can't hear his voice. Spencer tries to speak to you but you can't answer… You feel weak and you want to answer, but there's no voice. You cant speak. Ian rushes in, he's shouting something. Something you can't hear. You're deaf now. You can sense his fear, his sorrow. All of them run. Hospital. They rush into your pure white room. You sleep, like before. Or do you? Are you just dead? Who knows…
You feel yourself numb, your body doesn't move. There's no signs of life. You're pale, more pale than before. Your skin is cold, like it would be covered with ice. You can't feel anything. You just lay there. Helpless, useless… Like a puppet. Your life is near to an end--
Bryan gasped loudly and he opened his eyes. A nightmare… Horrible nightmare. Bryan rose and four, very sleepy boys gasped.
He had woke up.
Bryan opened his mouth: "What's the time?"
"07.34 a.m." Tala said and hugged Bryan.
"Why…? Why do you hug me?" Bryan asked.
"'Cos you're my friend. I just didn't get it before…"
"Tala, this must be a dream… You're never that kind and… sorry, but you're not that wise to say things like that."
Tala smiled.
"Finally! It took forever for you to wake up! Doctors said that you had fallen in coma!" Ian shouted and his face was cheerful and hyper.
"Spencer..? Are you hurt?" Bryan asked.
"What? What shit are you yapping?" Spencer said and he smiled kindly. Kai didn't say a thing but his face shone with relief.
"Umm… Tal?"
"What?"
"Is it possible that you let go? I can't breathe…"
"Oh, sorry…" The red-head said and he let go.
"How has been going? How's training?" Bryan asked.
"Great! Kai has a new technique and I finally won Spencer" Ian shouted, looking happier than ever before.
"No you didn't. I didn't focus, 'cos Tala was talking to me!"
"You just doesn't admit it!" Ian answered.
"Hey, pipsqueak, can ya get me a bottle of water and something to eat? I'm so hungry that I could eat a horse!"
"Ok, do I bring you a horse? Living or dead?" Ian smirked. I laugh.
"Seriously, just bring me something…" Bryan said. He was really hungry.
Ian rose from Bryan's white, comfortable bed. After an half hour he came back with a hot soup.
"Doctor said that your better to start with something like soup"
Bryan nodded and started to eat. Suddenly a loud scream filled the air:
"Sweetie! Are you OK?"
"Mrs. Bunov…?" Bryan gasped. "Why are you here?"
"Juri told to me that you were in hospital and-"
"Who's that…?" Tala whispered to Bryan's ear.
"It's Mrs. Bunov… She's the head-honcho of Moscow Orphanage…" Bryan whispered back.
"I heard that, boys..!"
When you look quickly at Mrs. Bunov, you can see that she's very much like any mother should be: Caring, helping, very lively and hassling lady with no sense of time or STYLE.
"I was supposed to come to look you yesterday but-"
"You forgot or you didn't have time or both?"
"Yes… I suppose so…" Mrs. Bunov said and she had a look at that small group of beybladers.
"Oh? Are you here too?" She gasped and her eyes glanced at Spencer.
"Uh… Yeah… I suppose so…" Spencer said and he blushed lightly.
"Look! Spence's blushing!" Ian yelled and he laugh as hard as he could. Spencer blushed even more.
"Where have you been all these years?" Mrs. Bunov asked and he hugged tall blonde tightly.
"Same place as Bryan…"
"Spencer?" Bryan asked. "How do you know each other?"
"Same way as you… I was there too, for six months…" Spencer said when he tried get free from Mrs. Bunov's tight hug.
Bryan didn't answer. He thought why he had never seen Spencer there before.
"So, you know Juri, am I right?" Bryan asked and Spencer nodded slowly.
Everyone knows Juri, he always tries to be friend with a new kid…Flashback:
Bryan wasn't sure did he want go in or not.
"Papa, where are we?"
His father didn't answer. He just glanced an angry look at his four years old son.
"Papa?"
No answer. Someone opened the door. Mr. Kuntzenov almost pushed his son in. Bryan look around that room. It was very clean and there was lots of children. He didn't know that it was an Orphanage where he would live. Suddenly his father rose from a chair where he had been talking with two ladies. Other seamed to be a some kind of a doctor and that another one looked like very nice middle aged woman.
Bryan's father pat his (Bryan's) head and said:
"You'll have to be here for some time…I come to get you later, okay? Don't leave anywhere from here."
Bryan nodded. He didn't get that his father just told him lies so he would get rid of Bryan. He wasn't going to come back, but back then Bryan blindly believed him.
"Papa..?"
"Hn?"
"You don't hurt Mama again, okay..?"
"Don't be foolish, of course I won't!" Mr. Kuntzenov shook his head and he smiled.
Bryan and his father were totally different: Mr. Kuntzenov had dark-brown hair and green eyes but Bryan's hair was lavender and his eyes were gray. But Bryan's looks didn't come from mother either. His mother had silky, blonde hair and sky-blue eyes. So it was sure that Bryan wasn't Mr. Kuntzenov's son. It was true, that Mrs. Kuntzenov was Bryan's mother but his father was just some guy from some bar or something, so Mr. Kuntzenov was more than happy when he got rid of that nuisance also called as Bryan. Bryan's "Father" left the building. At the same second when the door was slammed, Bryan felt like he was alone. Suddenly someone grabbed his arm. Bryan turned his head towards the grabber.
"Hi!" That boy said. He was only three and he had a sand-brown hair.
"Why did you grab my arm?" Bryan asked. That boy smiled and then he started to talk. Talk about everything what he knew—
End of the FlashbackBryan smiled when he thought how Juri had babbled when he was only three.
"But I have to go… Even thought I don't remember what I was supposed to do, but… Come to see us, both of you."
Then Mrs. Bunov left.
"Nice person… Just like my mom!" Tala laugh.
"Yeah… She is…" Bryan whispered and then he fell asleep.
"Fast sleeper he is…" Spencer explained.
Then they left.
