Chapter 2- Exodus
She walked away and Kai held Amy back as she went to run after Silver. " Let her go." Amy chocked back tears and turned to cry into Kai's chest. Silver walked on and the wind blew snow up. Silver was swallowed up in mist, leaving her by herself to figure out whom she was.
" Give me wings to fly."
Silver woke up in sweat and she covered her mouth to snuffle the sobbing sound. She was crying in her sleep again. She got out of bed and rinsed her face. She opened her window and let the cold night air filter into the stuffy from. Silver closed her eyes and leaned against the windowsill and breathed in the air.
Her eyes snapped open and her hand flashed upward to catch a small stone aimed for her head. Her eyes narrowed and flinted silver. She looked downward and rolled her eyes. Great, just want she need. She threw the stone back down and watched in satisfaction when it hit Crusher. " Come on up." She shouted down with a silly grin.
She pulled on a baggy sweatshirt and got dressed in jeans. She had a feeling that she needed it. She opened the door and came face to face with a flaming Crusher. " Ah…" Silver stared, " have a nice climb?" He shoved her inside and his team followed him in. " yeah, just come right on in." She mumbled under her breath. Someone cleared his or her throat at her opened front door. She turned to look at a guy that was taller than her. Silver scowled, it sucked being short. Tilting her head upward a bit she stared into moss green eyes.
They seemed friendly enough, " May I come in?" Silver raised an eyebrow and stepped aside for him to come in. He had orange hair that was wild, it reminded her if Kai's hair. Shacking her head she closed her door with her hip. " I'm Brooklyn, the captain of this team." Silver shook his hand and stared as they sat down around her living room floor.
She snuffled a yawn and looked at them again, " Is there something you want, I'd really like to sleep."
A giggled reached her ears and the blue haired girl stood up. " I'm Ming-Ming, this is Mystle, you've already meet Brooklyn, and this…" She sighed and spared Crusher a glance, " is Crusher." Silver's eyebrows rose again and she nodded.
" Ever heard of BEGA?" Silver frowned and shook her head back and forth. Mystle, she put his name to his face stood up, " It's a blading group of elite bladers."
Silver swallowed and braced herself for the obvious question. " Do you want to join?" Silver looked over at Brooklyn. He smiled softly and his eyes twinkled. " It's fine Silver if you don't, but wouldn't you like to compete again."
" She doesn't blade remember?" Crusher asked dryly. Silver gave him a flat looked.
" Sure."
Ming-Ming squealed, " You will?" She tackled hugged Silver out of the blue. Silver fell backward into Mystle, who caught the two of them.
" I guess I will." Silver whispered softly and touched her blade that was always in her pocket.
Silver yawned for the hundredth time. " Silver!" her eyes snapped open to look at her coach, " you're up, and it's your turn." Silver's eye widened and she jumped up. She took off her jacket and approached the uneven bars.
A ghostly happy smiled graced her lips at yesterday's event. She might just see the Blade Breakers again; she couldn't wait. She'd get to see Amy, Max, Rei, and Kai. She laughed mentally at seeing Tyson, most likely eating too. She made her last twist and landed on her mark.
" Great job!" Her coach hugged all of the girls, " We won the gold this year and we'll being going to the nationals."
Silver winced, the nationals for the gymnastics, she totally forgot about them. " Actually…coach…I can't go." She whispered out, trying to ignore the shocked faces and anger that flared in their eyes.
" Can't go?" the coach repeated himself as if he couldn't believe what she was saying. " What do you mean you can't go? This team relies on one another, one missing team member we'll crumble." Silver hung her head and whispered something. " What did you say?" the coach's voice rose in rage.
" I'm sorry," Silver held out her hands, " I can't go because I'm going to a blading tournament."
The team howled in laughter. " Blading, since when did you blade?" One of her teammates snipped. " Yeah, blading is a boy sport, why are you doing it?" The comments piled up one after another. " Come on Silver, grow up, you'll never be good at blading, it's not even a sport." Silver sighed and turned her head to one side.
" We know you mean well Silver," Her coach slung his arm around her shoulders, " But this is what your good at, gymnastics, don't throw it away to go chasing after a dream you'll never achieve." Silver took the comment to heart and it stung. " So Silver, why don't you forget about blading and come get Ice Cream with the team, what do you say?"
Silver pulled away and forced a smile onto her face, " No I think I'll skip, I'm tired." She blinked the tears back, " I need some time to think." Her coach shook his head and the team got into his van. Silver took a deep breath and walked home.
Silver dropped into her chair that faced outside after her shower. Was her coach right? Was she really just chasing after a dream what wasn't even real? She rolled her head to one side, to read on the headrest of the chair. Her eyes closed and she dreamed.
"There once was a key. A key created out of love and power of those who had opposed the gods. And the Power stored inside the locked place brings life yet death in one blow. To open the Key, the angel, the key, the beholder will open the gate and the death place."
A little girl with light blond hair sat on a rock by a river and singing softly to herself. She tossed pebbles into the river. Silver walked over and bent down to her. " Are you here alone?"
The little girl looked up and Silver jerked back. The little girl didn't have eyes. " I'm not alone Silver, not since you broke my only way to get home." Silver stared in horror as the girl stood up. " You threw it down, not caring for the people you'd harm."
Silver found her voice just as dozens of other people floated into the peacefully area. They, just the like the girl, had no eyes. They crowded around Silver and the sky darkened. " What are you talking about?" Silver croaked out.
The little girl pointed her finger at Silver, " She's the one who broke the key!" The people crashed down on Silver. Silver struggled, twisted, turned, and trying to dislodge them. They were suffocating her.
" What are you talking about?" She shouted. The little girl turned to look at Silver, her empty eye sockets suddenly flared and flames danced inside.
" You know what I'm talking about…your blade you smashed…"
Silver jerked awake and screamed when a hand gripped her shoulder. The guy's hand covered her mouth. " Shh, Silver its Brooklyn." Silver tilted her head back to look at him.
" How did you get in?" She asked and removed his hand from her mouth. Brooklyn dangled her keys in front of her.
" You dropped them outside."
Silver nodded in understanding and rubbed her temples, trying to rid herself of a quickly building headache. Brooklyn watched her and smiled softly. He brushed her hands away and began to rub comforting circles at her temples. Silver sighed in gently bliss. Her eyes slid close and she leaned into Brooklyn's cool touch.
" Better?"
Silver opened her eyes with a smile, "Definitely, thanks captain." Brooklyn smiled again and ruffled her hair.
" You should pack, we're leaving in an hour."
Silver frowned and turned to look at her clock. " Wow…I slept for that long?" She got up and dug around her closet. She pulled out two duffle bags that had been packed. She tossed one onto the bed and opened the other. She counted something inside and zipped it back shut.
" I'm ready." Brooklyn nodded and Silver followed him out. He turned to close her door and Silver just stared into the apartment that she had spent her past 2 years in.
Brooklyn turned around and tucked her keys into his jacket pocket. He looked at Silver's expression and placed a hand on her shoulder. " It's sometimes better to let go." Silver nodded and closed her eyes. Brooklyn let another smile grace his face and took her hand. He led her out of the complex and into a car. " It's going to be a long drive."
Silver smiled softly, " ok." She buckled herself in and closed her eyes. She felt emotionally drained. Brooklyn started the car and droved down the room. He heard Silver's breathing even out and looked over. He ran a hand down the side of her face.
" Let go of him."
Author's Corner:
Here's the second chapter. It's really lovey dovey. Some of you who I talk to all the time know what's really going on. This was more of a filler than action. I was bored and made ths chapter boring too! There's alot of refering back to Digital Blade, so if you haven't read that...you're going to be very lost.
AngelDranger: Thanks, but you haven't seen when Silver really starts to forget stuff.
eMiLy06: Thank you. Kaie's not my character though, I bet Smoke-Angel would be really thrilled to hear you say that about her character though.
Smoke-Angel: Wel...I didn't know that, stupid me. I'll be sure to add it in when we see Kaie again, which won't be for some chapters.
Glimmern-glitas: Thank you! I reviewed your story right? I think I did, if I didn't I'll go do it right know.
Read and review please!
