Chapter 11- who is it I really love?
Ty´s p.o.v
I woke up in my own bed ,alone and more confused then ever.
I know I love Kai, but Tala isn´t so bad either, I have always loved Kai.
Tala is nice to me and passionate, but I hink he only love me for my body and because I don´t let him do whatever with me, or because he find me amusing. That won´t last in a marrige I´m confused as hell and pick up my moile and dial the number to Rays and Max apartment.
- Yeah? This is Ray speakin´
I almost cries when I replies.- I-I-It´s me,T-Ty,Ray
- Ty! Are you alright! He hasn´t hurt you,has he? Ray sounds suprised and angry
- N-no, he hasn´t, it´s not that.
- Good, I promise, I almost started thinking of painful ways to kill him, but what is it then?
- I just really need to talk. And you always have listning to me before and taken me seriously.
- And I always will, Ty, that will never change. So spill it.
- It´s just too confusing. Tala has been treating me well ever since we got married,but in my heart I feel that I want to be with Kai, and I also feel attracted to Tala. But it feels like he only love me for my look or my rebellious personality, or even because the power he got when we got married, I don´t know if he love me for real. When I look at him it feels like he don´t know if he want to punch me or kiss me. And I´m no better, it feels like I only like him because he reminds me of Kai
sometimes, but it feels like my body just betrays me when he kiss me or touch me in a gentle or suggestive way. And it feels like it´s only a shallow passion, like a schoolcrush- you "love" them but it´s no deep connection.
- Not like the way you feel when Kai tell you that you have done something good, gives you his undivided attention for only a short amount of time, or touches you briefly?
- Yes, that is what I mean, that is the way I feel.
- Thought so, what you experience is the feel of having a physical attraction and a deeper love. And above that, the one who got your deepest love doesn´t even know, and you know he probably never will feel the same – onesided love. You should start with trying to get clear with Talas real feelings towards you, and then see if you can´t feel content with that, and then start to evaluate further from there. And always remember that you can talk to me or Max about anything, anytime, chief is married to Emily now – they did it in secret, only a priest and two official witnesses. Kai is training all the time, as usual, but he don´t speak at all with us.
- Sounds like Kai ,alright, I miss you all.
- And we miss you too. But we meet again at the championships, right?
- Yeah, of course, any gossip about me back home?
- A lot, Ty, there are newspapers here that have devoted a whole new magazine with only info on you. They even bribed servents at your mansion and got a bunch of things to build several magazines, it evolved into a own magzine to only you and Tala.
- Sick!
- Yeah, Max even have a prenumeration on it – only to be sure they don´t write anything mean or false about you, he just waits until they do. Then he will sue them.
- Awww.Thats so kind, I trust you guys wont let them know about this.
- We won´t, but I can tell Max, right?
- Yeah, of course, but I don´t want anyone beside Bladebreakers to know.
- Our lips is and remains shut when not a topic between Bladebreakers only. I swear.
- Good, I knew I could always trust you guys, I appretiate that.
- I understand, call whenever you are able to.
- Sure thing, Ray, count on it.
- I will. Bye, I got to go, Max just sms:ed. He want me to come down to the basement, we are cleaning and rinsing out the furniture we gotten tired of. I hope you understand?
- Of course, Ray.
- And don´t forget to train.
- I wont. Bye bye.
- Bye.
Then I feel relived, finally someone I can talk to when I feel down, without Tala freaking out, or me feeling bad when I talk with.
Ray is right, I need to know if Tala love me for who I really am, if not – I at least will know it.
Today is also filled with lessions, I hate it, this is worse then school. School ends at four, these lessions ends at ten pm. I skip the first three and go to Tala´s workingroom, but he isn´t alone – as he should be this time of the day, there are at least three more people in there. I eavesdrop.
- Well, how is life as a married man ?
- Not too bad, why?
- As your brother I want to know, your wife sure look like a godess to me, how is she in bed?
- None of your business, brother, she isn´t yours anyways.
- Don´t be so mean, Edvin, your brothers wife is his property. And you don´t dare think of touching her.
- It´s not like I care. She may be beautiful and so on, but she is only a woman, they may be equal to men in most countries. But here they are nothing. Tala probably only want her for her body and the power.
- Don´t say that, a female voice says, the young lady might be too much for our son to handle.
- Ty is a wonderful person with strong belifs and she don´t let anyone run her over, she won´t ever see anyone as a superior , if one tries to put her on place – she only fights back harder.
- A little rebellious girl, you must put her on her place, or she take your place as the leader of this country. Look what happened to your cousin Ivar, his wife decides everything and he don´t dare disobey her.
- Don´t you think I can handle her? Why did you make her marry me then?
- Because Edwin would not rule wisely.
- You think he could handle her better?
- Surely, but he can´t handle the country like you can. She beat you at beybladeing, even if you had all advantages, and she lives to tell the tale.
- Our family only accept females that are weaker then our males. She obviously isn´t such a female, and that goes for Ivans wife too –which is why he is no longer one of us, can you not handle this you will no longer be either...
They wont allow Tala to be one of them? Cruel excuse for a family, I can´t pretend to be submessive only to fool those bastards that Tala is able to "handle" me. I´m in no way less worth than him. And why would he want to be with a family that don´t accept him as he is? That beats me. I can´t stand hearing more of that nonesense anymore. I sneak back to my lessions instead, I only missed three minutes and my evil teacher only said I must be on time or my husband wont be pleased with my behaviour. As I´d care.
- now, young misstress, we shall train how to behave when your husband have invited important guests for dinner. Firstly, how do you greet them?
- Welcome,make yourself comfy and I will see if the food is done?
- No,no, no. You shall say " welcome to this house, may I get you something to eat?" then you greet your husband with a warm " welcome dear husband did you have a pleasant day? May I leave and see if the dinner ready? Or do you need me here?" and never look him in the eyes, not unless you two are alone and he tell you he want you to. A wife must always be submessive and also always recognise their husband as the master in all situations.
Of course I knew this already, I have heard this before but that´s never going to happen, I´m not going to give in to anyone just because they might like it better.
Suddenly my teacher get frustrated when he realise I´m not listning to a single word he have been saying.
- I may not be your husband, but I am a man, and you are a female. I am superior to you!
- As hell you are! I am not less worth then anyone else! And no one can make me belive otherwise!
Truely I didn´t expect him to do what he did.
He hit me so hard that I flew in a wall, the impact broke a couple of ribs and bruised me much, but I spat some blood and attacked back. The bastard broke his arms and his right leg, I broke a couple of his ribs too, before fainting.
Talas P.o.v
We heard some noise an it was followed by even more noise, and I´m not suprised when I hear it coming from upstairs, more precisely – Ty´s classroom.
My brother and parents follow.
- your servants don´t know how to behave in their masters home? Sad.
- They do know and no one have disobeyed me before.
When we enter Ty is laying unconsious on the floor, her hair laying spread out on the floor, blood coming from her mouth and dark spots over her dress is visible, breathing only barely. Her teacher, a male servant, is on the opposite room.
He obviously have both his arms, his ribs, and his left leg broken in pieces, hips destroyed and he is dying.
- what happened? I say in a cold voice
- she didn´t listen, so I hit her, but she hit back. Girls are supposed to be weak and only start crying before begging for forgivness... thats not a girl, it´s a wildcat.
- I told you clearly not to do such things, she is strong and trained in different fightingstyles, yet you disobeyed me? You should be thankful she didn´t cut your throat.
- I am sorry, sir, but a woman need to know her place. He say to his defence.
I´m sick of this topic, Ty isn´t any woman, she need to be put on place carefully and manipulate her to obey. Don´t they get that?
The servant dies infront of my parents and brother.
- eeww. She managed to do that? To a male? He looked strong?
- He was, I tell them, but she is stronger, smarter, faster and she was angered. This is why I don´t force her to be submessive, she will be deadly if one tries to.
- She surely seem to be a uniqe one, and dangerous.
- Her bit – beast is a dragon, a storm dragon, and she resemble it. In many ways.
A blue light appears and start healing her wounds, I know it is Dragoon that helps her, and suddenly a red light help the blue to heal her. What is the red light?
I decide that I don´t care. My parents and brother are stunned, but they don´t dare to move, they seem to gotten a whole new view on the so-called "weaker gender". Ty then introduce herself, as she doesn´t mind their cold stares. And does it with a heart-melting smile, gone is her bad mood, and one can see she don´t feel threatned.
Ty´s p.o.v
- Hi. I´m Ty, nice to meet you, and you are...?
My parents and brother is taken back from her sudden change.- I´m Edwin, Talas brother, nice to meet you too.
Edwin is tall, as tall as Tala, but he have short hair. And his haircolour is honeyblond,or light brown, instead of Talas intense red. Edwins eyes are intense ebony in colour, and I feel uncomfortable under his gaze. Edwin is dressed in a black suit, I ´m sure he works in a office somewhere. He look at me with lustful eyes, keep dreaming bastard!
His mother is next.
- I´m Evelyn, your mother-in-law, Ty – was it?
- Yes, a pleasure to meet you.
his mother have long red hair not as intens as Tala´s, and the same kind of grey eyes as Edwin, or rather the other way around, but she´s only a tad taller than me. She is dressed in a long, red dress, and her hair is put in a strict knot.
- I´m Thomas, and it´s good to see that Tala got such a lovely wife.
Yeah, right, asholes. You think I´m lower then dirt, because I´m a female, god knows I wanna kick their asses. Tala look suprised as hell, but I keep on smiling, if they can act I´ll show them that more can play that game.
Tala´s p.o.v
She seem to know that my family doesn´t like her and are afraid of her, it´s like she can smell it, but she smiles and play along. If I hadn´t learnt how to read her eyes, I would´ve thought that she really liked them, but her eyes are building up a storm inside them. And if my relatives don´t stop to behave like b-actors/actress or that storm will get released and kill them while they think they´re safe. Ty is a great actress and my parents and brother have to beware of her power and intelligence, or she will take her time to show them to not underestimate me. She goes into the kitchen to get away, or she´ll start releasing the storm too early, and to calm down. I follow her there.
- Ty?
- Yeah?
- I belive that you have found out that my family are bastards?
- hell, yeah, and I´ll kick their asses soon. I can´t stand those prissy people.
- Ty, you are supposed to be even more prissy, since you have a higher rank.
- As if I would care. I´ll soon release a storm, if they doesn´t stop acting, I know they don´t like me – and then they shouldn´t act like they do. It´s just plain disgusting.
- I know you feel like that , but I can´t really let you do that, it´s too shameful.
- don´t follow the rules all the time, don´t be such a boring person, learn how to use your feelings to your benefit. Sometime, I wonder if you don´t kling on to the rules like a frightned child to it´s mother, I don´t get why.
That´s it! She dares to compare me to a frightned child! I pinn her down to the floor, in pure rage, I can´t help getting enraged. She releases her storm, in chock, she had kept in. It truely was a storm, the wind almost knock me out. She look pissed now, and storm her way back to her room, and I had to return back to the dinner.
- see? That little witch, she just stormed off, like a thundercloud. Father is amused, but mad.
- I´d still want to get to know how she is in bed, after seeing that stunt, she´s a real little lioness. What a powerpackage she is. Much more delighting then the stuck-up women at home.
- Edwin, stop it, don´t get involve in this! My mother hiss.
- don´t speak about her, she´s angry enough, and trust me – that will be a awful revenge coming up.
We remain our dining, I wonder how bad the revenge will get.
I go to her room, and knock on her door, after showing my relatives to their rooms.
- Ty?
No answer, but if I try hard, I can smell a faint scent of roses and lavendel. I guess she decided to take a bath, to calm down and relax, and no way in hell would she get out of the bath – not unless a natural disaster struck the house or her friends got in trouble. Wait, that´s an idéa! If I tell her that they called, she´d rush up and ask who and when. Then she would have no choise, but speak to me.
- Ty, Max called...
- I´m in the bath! I´ll call Maxie later! He knows I like to stay in the bath... He wont mind.
- I think it´s urgent, but it´s your choise...
- Ok, I get it, geez... five more minutes...
I win! She finally bought it!
She comes out five minutes later, one towel wrapped around her and one around her head, she look so hot! But she pick up the phone and call Max. Damn! I forgot that part.
- Hi, Maxie! What´s up? Yeah, but how are you and Ray? Good! Hell yeah! I´ll sure as hell will come! How great! I´m so happy for you two! Aaaww! Maxie, that´s mean! I´m not! You´ll never ever get rid of me when hearing such news! That´s too great! Iihh! You know it!
Ty is so happy about whatever-it-is that she drop her towel, and that body make me get a massive nosebleed, but I hurry up and relace her towel and hold it on place. But mybroter comes along and make a ruckus. Ty glare at Edwin and use a stormwind to push him into the room he came from. Ty start chatting with that stupid blonde again, squealing whenever she respond, it sounds so adorable...
After she finally hung up, she realise that I´m here too, and what I´m doing.
- And what the hell are you doing?
- saveing your cute little ass, you dropped your towel, and I didn´t think you wanted to show yourself to anyone that might ave decided to go this way...
she pouts sweetly.
- My cute little ass can surely take care of itself?
- Hell no, you almost drained my whole bloodsystem with that stunt, but I enjoyed the view...
she blushes and deides that she isn´t mad at me anymore and hug me.
- Not mad at me any more?
- Nah, I´m not a bitter old lady, I got over it hours ago. I just enjoyed my bath the last couple of hours...
- You smell good, I say in a very suggesting voice, you know that?
- Yes, she answer, but don´t think you´ll get me that easy.
- Aww, come on, we have been married for quite some time now – but we´ve never even slept in the same bed...
- And that is how I plan to keep it.
Oh no, you don´t! I can´t live with her fo several years and not be able to even get intimate with her...
- Come on, Ty, it´s not my fault that you are so irresistable.
- Dream on, Tala, I´m not changeing my mind that easily. And I´m going to China tomorrow.
- why´s that?
- Because Ray and Max is finally getting married! I´m so happy!
- I´m comeing too, Ty, I´m not leaving my wife to get abducted by her friends.
- I happen to like getting "abducted" by my friends...
- Forget it, Ty-chan, I´ll be there too.
I kiss her and she give in, without a real fight, and I decide that this is the perfect time to try get to the next step in our marrige...
RN: What do you think? Shall Kai or Tala get Ty? you have to vote, and I´ll wait tosee some real results...
