Chapter 7 I think I know why

Silver stood there watching him closely, before turning and walking away again. Brooklyn frowned lightly and turned to look down the opposite hall. Silver stood at the corner waiting for him. She met his eyes and raised an eyebrow, what are you doing? Hurry up. She clearly said.

Brooklyn shook his head. He must be seeing things. He hurried off after her.

" What's the matter?" Silver asked, shoving their conversation they just had to the back of her mind. Brooklyn shook his head.

" Nothing." He murmured and the two walked out of the hallway into the main entrance. Suddenly a screamed shattered the peaceful sense. " What?" He turned. A group of bladers were crowded over at the exit of another hall.

" Move!" Tyson yelled as he shoved his way through the crowd and stared down at what everyone was clamoring about. His stomach twisted. A mangled body ad been tossed on the floor. You're next had been craved roughly on the guy's arm.

Kai, Tala, Bryan, and Spencer shoved their way in too. Amy close behind Tyson, with Daichi by her side and Kenny squeezed their way in. " What's going on?" Amy asked and glanced down. Covering her mouth as she felt a heave coming up.

Silver and Brooklyn too forced their way in. Silver gave a muffled gasp and clutched his hand. Brooklyn frowned down on the scene and gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.

" His blade is broken." Daichi suddenly spoke out. " And missing a bit chip." Silver pointed out.

" Make way!" The paramedics rushed in and packed up the mingled body.

" Who would do something like this?" Hilary asked in a shocked whisper. " I don't know," Michael Parker turned to stare at Silver and Brooklyn, " But I can think of a couple of…people."

Silver sneered back at him, " What? Do you think we did it? You're more fucked up than I thought." Brooklyn gave her had another squeeze, but she ignored him. " Jealous? Scared we're going to beat you? Get a life, you need it."

" What is the meaning of this?" Mr. Dickenson stepped in. He cast a reproached look at Silver. " We mustn't panic now, unity will help us, and breaks between teams won't." Rei stood beside him.

" Silver, it's wonderful to see you again," Mr. Dickenson ignored their surprised looks, " I trust the States was a wonderful experience?" Silver met Kaie's eyes through the crowd and jerked a nod.

Brooklyn cleared his through and stroked Silver's hair in the back. " We need to get ready for him," He whispered into her ear. " Play along with me for now." Silver nodded and he tilted her head upward, making a show of kissing her. He grinned when he drew back and Silver shot him a glare that only he could see.

His eyes met Kai's and his grin widened. Kai's teeth were practically grinding against each other. Mr. Dickenson caught Silver's arm before she could turn away. " We really ought to talk." Silver nodded again and walked after the man.

" Do you have a feeling Mr. D knows something about Silver that we don't?" Tyson asked to no one really.

Amy chewed on her lips and watched Kai quietly. " Definitely."

" Where were you?" Garland asked Silver as soon as she appeared in their main lounge. Silver shrugged off her coat and sat down next to Brooklyn. " I was talking to the head of BBA." Garland scowled at her and she glared back before dropping her head onto Brooklyn's chest. This caused a few raised eyebrows, but Silver didn't seem to care, because she was fast asleep.

" What happened between you two?" Ming-Ming scouted over to sit on Brooklyn's other side. Brooklyn stroked Silver's head. " Nothing happened Ming-Ming."

Silver's eyes fluttered open and she touched her forehead. Blinking rapidly in the dark room, she sat up and tugged the cord of the light. How did she end up here? Glancing around, she caught sight of a slip of paper. You'll have to train bright and early, get some sleep. And it was signed Brooklyn, nothing in front, just plain Brooklyn. Silver gave a small smile and it faded when she caught sight of her glowing blade.

Her hand closed around it and everything went black.

" AHHHHHHHHH!" Everyone in the hotel jerked awake or looked up from their training. A young girl ran into the training room in hysteric. " There's another body!" She screamed. Everyone tensed and began to run down the hall.

A girl with dark brown hair was tossed half in the pool, half out. And blood tinted the water red. Silver shoved her way through the crowd and stared down at the body in horror. " Who would do something like this?" murmurs rose and Silver got several weird glances.

She glanced around and noticed at the accusing looks. " What?" she demanded harshly before turning on her heels and running off. Whispered followed her out of the building. Unknown to everyone at that time, Boris stood there watching everything with a cruel smile. Everything was going perfectly.

" Silver Rye?" She stared at the man standing at the door of her room like she had never seen another human being before. He fidgeted under her unblinking stare. " Here, this was a message left for you." Silver took the paper and shut the door in his face without saying anything.

She stared down at the piece of paper with masked curiosity. Flipping it open, she stared down at the letter. I'm giving you a choice. Throw this away; a younger blond will die in your place, with her blade crushed and her snake bitbeast taken. Tell someone, anyone; one of the attendants of this hotel will die. And her life will be like the one you used to lead. The choice is yours.

She stared silently down at the piece of paper. " What is that?" She turned quickly and tucked the piece of paper into her pocket. Brooklyn stood behind her. " Nothing, just a piece of paper." Brooklyn walked around to stand in front of her. He grabbed her chin and forced her to look him squarely in the eyes.

" Seems mighty important just to be a piece of paper."

Silver jerked her face from his hand and handed him the piece of paper. " Just a prank or something." She mumbled. Brooklyn quickly scanned it and nodded. " Just a prank." He repeated and walked out of the room.

Silver stared at the door he walked out of and chewed her lips. It's just a prank, she convinced herself.

" I heard there was another one!" Someone whispered as Silver walked passed them. " She worked here and was a stripper or something like that." Silver flinched and continued down the hall.

" Do you find this amusing?" Silver turned to look at Kai who was leaning against a wall. She frowned. " What do you mean?" He grabbed her arm with an iron hold and brought their faces close so their noses almost touched. " You know what I mean." He hissed furiously.

" Let go of me," She ordered, matching his tone. " I don't know what the hell you're talking about!" Kai began to shack her lightly. " You're telling me you don't remember killing someone last night?"

" I don't know what you're talking about!" Silver wrenched herself away from him. " No I didn't kill anyone last night!" She screamed into his face. "Ahem." The two turned to look at Amy, Max, Rei, Tyson, and Kenny standing in the hallway.

Silver shot them all a furious glare before walking away. Amy way the only one that noticed the way her hands were clutched in a fist and how red liquid seeped from them.

" What was that all about?" Rei asked Kai softly. Kai grunted and brushed past him to join the rest of his teammates. " Do you think she did it?" Kenny asked in a hushed tone, like he was afraid that Silver would suddenly appear back and stab him to death in brood daylight.

" I hope not." Max whispered back and Tyson turned his heel. " Don't' worry, we'll figure out who's behind this killing, I'll bet it has something to do with BEGA." Amy just turned and began to walk after Kai. " Hey Amy where are you going?" Tyson yelled after her retreating form.
