Wings to Fly Chapter 8: Murder Be My Name, a beyblade fanfic

Chapter 8 Murder be my Name

" Bladers may I have your attention?" Everyone in the halls, in their rooms, and outside turned to pay attention to the news. " Due the recent murders in the Ion Tournament, it has been canceled."

" WHAT?" Garland stood up and smashed the cup he hand been drinking from. Silver blinked twice as the water splashed her face. BEGA hadn't been listening to the news previously, but now, damn did they have their attention.

" How could they do this?" Ming-Ming whined. " Don't worry Ming-Ming." Everyone turned to look at Boris. His hands were tucked into his coat pockets. " Things will work out." He cast a glance at Silver and sneered. " Come with me." Silver stood up and walked after him like a good puppy would.

" I see you chose to toss the note away," Boris leaned forward in his chair with a grin what sent chills down Silver's spine. Silver' mouth thinned and she stared directly ahead, her eye's focused on somewhere right above his head. He laughed and slid a piece of paper in front of her. " Your choice." He stated simply and stood up. Silver tucked the piece of paper into her pocket.

" You enjoy toying with me don't you?" She suddenly stopped at the doorway. Boris turned back around to watch in with mock curiosity. " Can't you just let me go?" She whispered softly, never really intending for him to reply back.

Boris walked back to the desk and hesitated for a moment before reaching into a draw and flipped something at Silver. Silver caught it and turned the object over in her hand. A bit chip, she raised her eyes in question. " Meet Alexiel." Silver stared down at it…Alexiel, she knew that name form…somewhere.

" Yes you know her, she…how to put it, your light side." He walks over and took the chip from Silver's hand. Silver gasped as the lost of the chip. He smirked cruelly and hooked a plain chain of silver onto the chip. " Now we can't have two chips in one blade and I still need Sasatnehiel to control you, but we can't have you going insane." He lifted the chain and set it over her head with a pat. Like a person greeting his personally favorite pet.

" Off with you." He roughly threw her out of his office. Silver found her balance and closed her hand around the necklace. She walked down the hall and outside. As soon as she was sure she was alone, he took the paper out of her pocket and began to read what it said.

I'm going to give you some choices right now. You throw this anyway; a man dies tonight at 12 that look like Max Tate. You decide to keep this to yourself, a man that looks like Michael Parker dies tonight at 12. However, if you decide you want neither to die, you'll come down to the training room at 11. There your surprise will wait.

Silver didn't like any of the fucking choices. Sighing, she rubbed her face and head back indoors. Amy just happened to walk outside. The two bumped shoulders and stopped. Amy stared into silver eyes with Silver watching Amy with emotionless flat eyes. All in all, it was uncomfortable for both.

Silver finally dropped her eyes and began to walk to her room. She still had to decide what she was going to do. Amy gave her a confused look and continued to walk; they had nothing to say to each other.

Silver sat down slowly in the training room at 10:59. Her heart jumped at every noise and she ran her hand through her hair like she always did when she was nervous. Footfalls sounded and Silver braced herself for the worst. However it was Brooklyn that slid the door open. " Silver?" He asked and kneeled down by her, " what are you doing here so late?"

" She's here because she chose this Brooklyn." Boris stepped into the shadow. Brooklyn got to his feet.

" Sir…" He nodded his head. Boris wagged his finger and Silver got up from the floor. He motioned for them to sit down over at the beydish. Brooklyn's hand was at Silver' elbow reassuring her that he was there, because she was trembling so badly.

" Brooklyn was unplanned here." Boris sneered down at Silver and Brooklyn wisely kept silent. " Since he is here, we'll make he best of it." Both began to dread more at what he was going to do. Boris slowly began to explain and both went from rosy straight to pale.

Brooklyn silently got dressed. Silver rolled over and watched him, just as silent. They didn't meet each other's eyes and Silver sat up with the sheets draped around her naked body. " Brooklyn…" She whispered softly and touched his shoulder. Brooklyn looked up at her. " I'm sorry for dragging you into this."

" What are you talking about?" He remarked and pulled on his jacket. " It was my fault I was there." He tipped her head upward and kissed her softly. Silver nodded and got dressed herself. " We're not going to talk about this to anyone."

" So what are we going to do now that this tournament was canceled?" Tyson grumbled out, him and Daichi pigging out. Kenny, Amy, and Hilary wisely didn't watch them as they ate their own food.

" Actually," Kenny wiped his mouth and opened Dizzy. " They might reopen this tournament in the murders stop." Hilary shifted uncomfortably. " They'd take the chance?" She asked. Kenny shrugged and Amy glanced up as Kai walked in.

Kai walked right pass their table, grabbed Amy's wrist and led her out of the café. The Bladebreakers stared after them. " He's getting weirder every time I see him." Daichi remarked through a mouth full of food.

" Kai what is it?" Amy demanded as soon as they came to a stop. Kai turned around and cast several glanced around before finally focusing on her. " I saw Boris." Amy's eyes widened. " Where?" she have a harsh whisper.

" Walking out of the training room at 3 or 2 in the morning." Amy's eyes asked the question and Kai gave a short nod. " Silver and Brooklyn were following him, both paler than ever."

Amy chose her words carefully, knowing full well that Kai lost some part of him when Silver disappeared. " So…Silver's not working for Boris…but is forced to work with him?" They both turned and saw Silver walking down a path, alone. Amy turned back to ask Kai something, but he no longer stood before her. " What…"

Kai walked up behind Silver, grabbed her arm and shoved her into the building's darkest corner. " What?" she whirled around, ready to take his eye out. Kai calmly caught her hand.

" What's Boris holding over you?"

Silver breathed slowly and tore her arm from his grasp. " Nothing." She remarked flatly and turned to leave. Kai gave a fustrated growl, grabbed her and slammed her into the wall. " Bullshit." Silver stared him right in the eye without saying anything. " Silver tell me. I…I want…to help." He finished in a hoarse whisper.

Her eyes flickered in surprise before going blank again. " Let go of me Kai, he's not holding anything over me." Kai gave her a grim look that clearly said: Like hell I will. " You're so dense Kai." She hissed out and Kai let go of her arms in surprise. " Kai," Her hand strayed to his chest and rest over his heart.

" You think that part of you was lost with me when I…ran," She swallowed and closed her eyes. Kai grabbed her wrist when she pulled away. They stared at each other and Silver gave a soft sigh before leaning forward. Her lips met him in a timid kiss before pulling away. " I'm giving that piece of you back. You don't feel anything when you kiss me do you?" Kai let go of her wrist with a curiously blank face.

" I'll take you down." He stated, " When this tournament is back, I'll take you down." Silver slowly shook her head and gave a small smile. " No you won't be taking me down, Amy will." She turned and walked away, never sparing a single glance back.

" Sorry about that Amy." Silver whispered into the wind. Brooklyn stood at the door and had witnessed the whole thing. When Silver stopped by his side, he stared down at her. Silver gave him a soft look and tilted her head upward in an offer.

" You really know how to motivate a person." Brooklyn murmured and kissed her hard.
