Chapter 3-----The discovery
The sun's rays pierced through the darkness of the alley, slowly eliminating the gloominess of the area. The soft light fell unto Mai's cheek, causing her to wake up. The girl rubbed her eyes, cracking her neck as it felt stiff. 'Weird dream…… oka-san and oto-san…I hope there up there watching over me.' Mai looked up at the sky, snow flakes fell softly over the earth. There's snow…snow…Then it hit her.
"Ehhh?"
'I'm half buried in snow!' Mai started shoving snow off her body when she found her beyblade buried in the snow. She reached for it but something shiny in the middle caught her eye. She couldn't believe what she was seeing…No way! How is it that she had a bit-beast? She stared at the bit-chip, there was an image of a white dog-like creature inside it. Then she remembered…
flashback-
She inched nearer and nearer and the creature soon came into view.
It was a big dog, a wolf maybe. It was pure white and had a blue jewel embedded on its forehead. It had deep blue eyes and on its ankles were blue flames that flared out at the back. Mai noticed that there were bells around its front right ankle.
"So you're the one calling me…"
End of flashback-
'Levian? But it was a dream…right? You can't be serious…' She looked disbelievingly at her blade. Just then the bit-chip glowed and a voice sounded in Mai's mind.
Levian: 'It's true. Don't cha remember?'
Mai: 'Oh god, I must be crazy…I can hear voices in my head.'
Levian: '… Hey, I'm serious here…hmph, I saved you from freezing and this is the thanks I get…'
Mai: 'So it's really you? But how…why?'
Levian: 'I heard you calling me.'
Mai: 'But I didn't call anyone…'
Levian: 'You were; there's something about you that drew me to you. You were so helpless I wanted to protect you…'
Mai: 'Oh…thanks…-feels loved-…...Feels weird talking in my head. Oh yeah, are you a big dog or somethin' like that?'
Levian: 'I'm a wolf, not a dog, why do people always think I'm a dog...I mean c'mon, do I even...…' Levian's words slowly trailed offin her mind.
Mai smiled. There was someone after all; someone she could trust. She pocketed her blade and got up; she had to find her tribe…that is, if any of them were still alive -stomach rumbles-'Uhhh…maybe I should get something to eat first'
The past few days spent running really took a toll on Mai's body. Her legs were sore and her legs shook every time she took a step. She pulled up her hoodie to cover her face to avoid being spotted by her grandfather's henchmen and to hide the sorry-state of her physical self. The streets were crowded with people going on with their everyday lives. Mai walked through the sea of people. Her head hung low, glancing up once in a while to see where she was going. Where was she going? She didn't even how to find her tribe…She just walked on aimlessly. She passed a fruit stall and snagged an apple. The shop keeper wouldn't notice her anyway. 'Yeah, who was going to notice a tattered girl like me?'
Mai walked a little further before biting into the apple. Her first bite triggered her sense of taste and she devoured it in minutes.-yup, she was tht hungry-.She made a left turn, remembering clearly the way to the park. 'It shouldn't be so crowded during this time' She figured it was the safest place to be…for now.
'Wonder if that bak------- -da-dump- argh!' Mai placed a hand on her head, a searing pain in her head had disrupted her thoughts.
"Itaiiii….."
'What's going on…what's this pain…'Mai clutched her head tightly.
premonition-
A creature lay there…It was calling….no, crying. But why can I understand it? Its image was blurred. I reached out but couldn't grab you… I couldn't save you…
You were in a lab...Tubes were stuck to you; they looked like snakes… They didn't want you, they wanted your…
End of premonition-
The pain grew stronger as more images flashed in Mai's mind. 'Can't stand it…anymore…,'her body grew weaker every time she tried to fight the pain. Her vision blurred. She saw something in the distance before she blacked out…
somewhere in the distance-
Max walked around the empty park. He was looking for a suitable location to battle with Rei when he stumbled upon her…
Max's POV
I saw something lying in the snow. It looked pretty big to be an animal so I ran up for a closer look and was shocked to find it was a girl! She looked pale. Could she be dead? I checked for a pulse. Phew, she was still alive…I glanced at her clothes. Boy, she must have gone through a lot. Her clothes were dirty and tattered. There were blood stains on her jacket, and her legs were covered in scratches. I couldn't just leave her here…I had to do something or else she would die…
End of POV
"Hey, Rei! Come 'ere quick!"
Rei raced to where Max was.
"What's up? You found a pla---Oh man! What happened to her!"
Rei knelt beside Max who was trying to turn the girl over.
"She must've fainted. She's been through a lot, check out her clothes"
"C'mon, place her on my back; we've got to get her to a hospital!"
"We don't have any money, Rei. The nearest is our hotel. We can get the hotel doctor to check her."
"Right."
Mai subconsciously opened her eyes to see her surroundings bobbing up and down. She heard voices but couldn't recognise who they belonged to...She felt weak…and drained and her eyes ended up closing again…
