This is my 1st story. I'm new at this so give me a chance! I don't own beyblade and plz r&r!

Chapter 1

x Hilary's POV x

I stayed locked away in my room, away from the world. I didn't even go to the funeral. Tyson and Kai had gone though, Tyson phoned me asking why I hadn't gone. I just hung up. I didn't want to talk to anyone.

She'd died a week ago in the hospital. The only person in my family who didn't want me to Beyblade. My mother kept me safe from the Beyblade that her uncle wanted me to use. Now she's dead and I'm doomed to fall into the control of my great uncle.

My great uncle was a horrible man. Horrible may not begin to explain him but it is a start. He was twisted and evil. He'd killed my father in front of me and my mother when I was 2. To show his power and that there was no limit to what he could do. Since then we lived in Tokyo away from him. But yet something in my head even to this day keeps attracting me to evil. It's like a voice in the back of my head telling me that being evil is my destiny. But I don't want to be evil. Not if it means being with my Great Uncle.

Except the day my mother found out she had cancer, that was the day my world came crashing down. I told Tyson and the others but they carried on with life as they always did. I withdrew into myself, gave up yelling at Tyson. I started to cry myself to sleep of a night.

One day Kai caught me slicing my arms. He was the only one concerned about me. After that he always stayed with me, walked me home, escorted me to Tyson's and the hospital. He got to know my mum as well. He was with me the day my mother died. Her last words being 'Be safe and protect her'. I still don't know why she said protect her. Probably aimed at Kai but oh well I can protect myself.

Since that day I've been in my room, organised the funeral when Tyson and Kai came round. They knew my mum well so they helped. Now I lay here, on my bed, weak, crying and waiting for my Great uncle to come find me.

"I'm worried about Hils," Tyson said.

"Did she show for the funeral?" Ray asked.

"Nope and she won't answer the phone anymore," Tyson replied.

"We've got a key to her house," Kenny said.

"So?" Max asked.

Kai sweatdropped, went inside, grabbed the key and walked out of the dojo.

"Hey Kai, wait up," He heard Ray call.

"What?" Kai asked once Ray caught up with him.

"Isn't it a bit rude to just walk into Hils house?" Ray asked back.

"She gave us the key so no it isn't rude," Kai replied ending the conversation. They stayed in silence till they got into Hilary's.

"Hilary!" Ray called.

"She's in her room," Kai said going up the stairs. He knocked on the door and heard a faint 'come in'. Him and Ray entered the room to see she was layed on the bed her head buried in the pillows. She looked up to see Kai and Ray.

"Why are you here?" She asked weakly.

"We came to see if you were alright," Ray replied.

"You didn't care before," she said coldly and looked away from them, "I don't need your pity!"

"Why didn't you come to the funeral?" Kai asked.

"I was crying," She replied coldly.

"Hils you gotta leave the house at some point," Ray said.

"No I don't!"

"I give up," Ray said and walked out leaving Kai and Hilary alone in the house. Kai sat on the bed next to Hilary.

"I spoke to your mum that day," Kai said.

"About what?" Hilary asked.

"What you were doing to yourself," Kai replied.

Hilary sat up and looked at him, "What did she say?"

"To protect you and make sure you didn't do anything reckless. This isn't what your mum would want you to do is it?" Kai asked.

Hilary shook her head and began to cry. She didn't know what to to do except cry anymore.

"I know. But she protected me from my great uncle. Now she's gone, he'll come to take me away. I don't get a choice in my future if he finds me," she cried into her hands.

Kai moved her hands away and cupped his hand under her chin and made her look up.

"I'm not gonna let anything happen to you. I promise," he said.

For the first time in ages she stopped crying and smiled. Kai wiped away the rest of the tears and smiled to. A smile only Hilary ever got to see.

Well that was the first chappie. Plz r&r.
