Chapter 5 Moon's Shadows
Silver tensed at the dark voice. She whirled around to look at Boris sitting at ta desk not far from her. " You're...you're suppose to be in jail." She croaked out. He smiled coldly and motioned at her.
" Sit down Silver," He leaned forward to look at his past student, " What would you like to drink?" Silver sat down and stared at him like he had grown a second head.
" What are you doing here?" She gasped out, " What do you want?"
" Something to drink, it isn't nice to make someone ask twice." Silver shook her head back and forth like a child. Boris grinned, " I must insist." She motioned to someone in the dark and a man appeared second later carrying to trays. He set a cup of coffee in front of Boris and a Cherry Pepsi in front of Silver. " Go on drink, I didn't…poison it."
Silver stared into the glass and sipped it, while her hands shook. " Now what do I want?" Boris mused coldly. " You're back on my team already." Silver gulped down another mouth full, she didn't like were this was going. " We just need to…tweak you, just a bit."
" Tweak me?" Silver set down the glass and tried to force herself not to tremble. Boris nodded pleasantly…in a sinister way. " You just swallowed about…I don't know 2 pills worth of sleeping powder." Silver flinched and knocked the glass away from her. " Too last." Her eyesight swam and the last thing she remembered was Boris leaning over her.
" How did it go sir?" Garland asked when Boris stepped into they suit. Boris grinned. Just fine. I'd like you to meet Silver, again." He moved aside and Silver was leaning against the wall. Her eyes flickered open and she glanced over at them.
" She won't be much of a problem," Boris petted her head when he began to walk out. " She's back to the way she's suppose to be." Silver stood up straight and walked out after Boris.
" I think I liked her better when she was crazy and wouldn't shut up."
Brooklyn opened Silvers door. He walked in and stared at her. Her back was to him, staring out the window. " Silver." She didn't turn fully, just tilted her head back over her shoulder. Something was different about her. " What did Boris talk to you about?" He walked over and touched her shoulder.
Silver blinked, " He told me I wasn't strong enough." She murmured softly and stroked a blade that hung from her belt. Brooklyn's eyes focused on the blade…that was different too. Wasn't it black and silver before? Now the whole blade was black, including the chip. There seem to be a red glow around the chip. He leaned closer to take a better look at it, but could make it out.
" What…" He began. Silver covered her blade and turned to look at Brooklyn. His eyes took in her face and it hit him what was different. Her eyes. There was no white. It was pure silvery gray, with the exception of her black pupil.
Her pupils didn't even seem human anymore. There seemed to be a second ring of red. Brooklyn reached up and cupped her face. " What happened?" Silver didn't say anything, but there was something defiantly wrong.
A knock came to them through the door. " Hey Silver, dinner!" Silver pulled away and walked out of the room with ever looking backing.
" What's going on?"

" Where is that TRAITOR?" Amy raged away at the café down at the hotel. Hilary sweat dropped.
" Didn't you get to hear her side of the story?" Kenny tried to offer his cent of the day. Amy turned the full power of her glare onto Kenny. " Her side of the STORY? She joined BEGA! Remember Kenny the company that brought down my grandpa?" Kenny opened his mouth again and before he could say anything Amy cut him off. " Kenny don't say anything about that Ming-Ming, you heard her call grandpa an old dinosaur, she's not going to get away with it!"
" Actually Amy, I think he was going to tell you Rei's right behind you." Amy turned and her fist that she held up was particularly close to Rei's face. " Ah…" Amy lowered her arm with a blush.
" It's ok Amy," Rei assured her quickly, " But…she's right, Silver disappears for 2 years and comes back on BEGA…that sounds a bit fishy." He sat down at their table.
" REI!" Tyson suddenly seemed to notice he was there, " Great to see you again buddy." Rei nodded. " Hey guys!" Came Max's bright voice. Everyone turned to look at him and the 'new girl.' " Oh…" He noticed all the staring, " Um this is Kaie, she's new on my team."
Amy narrowed her eyes at the girl. She looked familiar. " Nice to meet you." Everyone chorused, minus Tyson and Daichi, who were busy eating. Kaie nodded. " So…um did someone die?" Max asked nervously, " Why is everyone so serious?"
" You mean you didn't notice?" Amy nearly screamed as she stood up. " Silver? As in Sapphire, 2 years ago?" Max's eye widened.
" That was she?" Kaie frowned. " What are you talking about?" She butted in. " Silver Rye? She doesn't blade." Amy turned to Kaie with a scowl.
" Silver Rye, you know her?"
" Of course she knows me." Came a soft, yet deadly voice. Everyone turned to look at Silver, ho was lounging against the wall. The café quieted down. Silver stood up straight, much like before and walked over, like she had all the time in the world. Her eyes narrowed and her hands were tucked in her black jean pockets. " Why wouldn't she know me…Amy?" Amy's name rolled off of her tongue.
" Silver…" Amy breathed out and her voice hardened, " What's going on here, you're going to spill." Silver didn't budge and merely stared at Amy with amusement. " Spill, Silver where have you been?"
" What is she talking about Silver?" Kaie butted in. Her question started a chain of question from Silver's former friends. Silver growled and snapped her mouth shut. " Be quiet." She ordered coldly and it worked. Everyone fell silent.
" My reasons are my own. The only thing you all need to know it, BEGA is going to win the Ion Tournament," She turned and walked away. People gapped after her statement.
" Did you hear?" Ming-Ming demanded as she burst into the suit they were staying in. " Didn't you hear what went down in the café?" They boys turned to her and shook their heads. " She told them, she so told the other teams!" Ming-Ming crowed and punched her fist into the air.
" She told them…" Mystle started off. " She told them we so owned this tournament." Ming-Ming grinned and grabbed her trademark microphone. The door opened and Silver slipped in.
" Silver!" Ming-Ming grinned and grabbed the girl. " We'll show them!" She hugged Silver and giggled. Silver blinked twice and untangled herself from Ming-Ming.
" Boris wants us," She whispered and walked back out.
" Party pooper."
Brooklyn walked into the empty training room, or at least it was supposed to be empty. Silver sat on the floor by a huge window. Her knees tucked to her chest, and her head rested on her knees. Her eyes were trained on her black blade as it glowed purple under the moonlight.
" Brooklyn?" She slowly turned to head to look at him. " Is that you?" Tears streamed down her face. " I'm so scared." Brooklyn walked over and settled his hand on her shoulder.
" What are you scared off?" He sat down next to her. Silver trembled and gripped she glowing blade that continued to get brighter. " She's coming." Silver whispered desperately, " She's coming, and she's not happy with me." She whimpered and buried her face in his jacket.
" I'm so scared."
Author's Corner:
Breathes out slowly. Ok...It's been awhile and I havent' been very active. But this are really going downhill. I'll be going to speech camp(congress/debating)for the next two weeks and leaving for Las Vages for the week after that. This is the last chapter that will be posted in any of my stories for the next couple of weeks.
I normally would be able to squeeze in a few chapters, but I'm really focused on my original stories. Those will be updated over the weeks as soon as I finished the chapters.
The link will be up in my bio. If any of you are kinds enough to read and review it.
Thank you all for reviewing! I normally would reply back, but the day is hectic and I have to go!
Please read and review.
