We Are Not Alone Chapter 4: Our Story, a beyblade fanfic

Chapter 4 Our Story

It was like a never-ending cycle. Ilya grabbed Apollymi and pulled her up. " Stay close to me, we have to find Sasha." Apollymi nodded and clung tightly to her older brother. Her lavender eyes widened with fear. " We're going to be ok," He murmured to her with a squeeze.

Ilya had an almost silvery shade of blond hair. Blue-violet eyes were hooded with just a spark of fear. Behind the calm façade was panic. Sasha had gone missing an hour ago. They had to find him and get out of here; Biovolt was looking for them. " Uh oh," Apollymi piped. " Doggy." Ilya whirled around to look at a Biovolt genetically enhanced dog.

" Damn," He swore. Tearing through two sentences of curse words, he ran down the snow-covered slope, his in arms. " Ilya!" Aleksandr waved from below. Ilya breathed a sigh of relief and slid the rest of the way down.

" Where were you?" He demanded. Sasha motioned to the chopper behind him sheepishly. Sasha or Aleksandr had dark midnight blue eyes and the light silvery hair of the family. Ilya growled at his brother's foolishness. " Come on," He hauled Apollymi up and into the chopper.

" Don't be mad." Apollymi reminded him from her spot. Ilya rolled his eyes and got in followed my Sasha. " Look," Sasha said grumpily, " I'm sorry."

" All buckled up?" The pilot asked from his seat. Ilya grunted a yes, tightening Apollymi's parachute incase of a situation. The pilot took off with the chopper rocking back and forth. Sasha and Ilya yelled at the pilot. " Sorry." The man turned around to grin. " But Boris never said if he wanted you three alive or not."

The three seized up. Sasha's eyes darted to the symbol on the pilot's jacket. Shit. How could he have been so stupid as to not notice it? Ilya gave Sasha a hard glare. The three sat still. Apollymi's eyes flickered around before she kicked Sasha's leg to get his attention. Sasha followed her line of sight. A tranquilizer gun sat innocently against the wall.

A quick grin stole across Sasha's face. He would have kissed Apollymi right then and there. His eyes flickered over to warn Ilya. But Ilya just gave him a pointed look. 'Get on with it already.' His eyes seemed to say. Ilya was always one step ahead in the game. Sasha blew a breath. Meh…

With a sudden rocking moment, Ilya had Apollymi to the ground. Sasha had picked up the gun and shot the pilot who had turned to see the commotion. Ilya pulled open the chopper's door. " JUMP!" He yelled over the wind and they began to fall.

They jumped. Apollymi had yanked the parachute and the family descended to the ground not to gently. They tumbled around in the snow. Ilya yanks both of his younger siblings back down as the helicopter crashed a few miles ahead of them.

" Well…that went well." Sasha smirked, flopping down into the snow. Apollymi just sat quietly at his feet.

Ilya was seeing red. "Aleksandr! Did you know hoe dangerous that was! Have you no shame!" He would have been spitting fire if he could. " You could have GOTTEN US KILLED!"

Sasha cringed. Ilya was using his full name. Ilya was really pissed off. It was only the third time he had seen Ilya like this. " I'm sorry. I really am."

" Sorry doesn't cover it!" Ilya grabbed Sasha' arm and gave him a good shake. " You can't just say sorry and hopes it blows over. If we die, the whole Origin could go down with us. You know that!"

Sasha growled. His fragile hold on his temper snapped. " You think I don't know Ilya!" He roared back. " I'm not fucking stupid. I know that risks! Don't talk to me like you're talking to some fucking five year-old!"

" Well act your age and I won't hound after you!" Ilya shouted back equally loud.

Apollymi pulled herself to her feet and cleared her voice. " Stop fighting." Her voice soft and could be barely heard above their shots. But she was heard. The two brothers shimmered down with visible effort. " We have to get to Origin as fast as we can." She took Ilya's hand. " Argue later."

The two stared at her. " Um…Ilya…I think you shouldn't teach Ami anymore." Ilya rolled his eyes. Sasha rebounded quickly. However the trio hurried down the snowy slope. A snowstorm was coming and they didn't want to get caught in it.

"Yo!" Sasha held up his hand and shook the snow out of his hair. Taku Seabolt looked up with a ruggish smile. " You made it." Sasha sighed dramatically.

" What you think I wouldn't. Have some faith in my man!" He slapped Taku's shoulder. Taku grunted at the force of the slap. Ilya came in with Apollymi cradled in his arms. A very, very cross look marred his features. " Oh lighten up Ilya." Sasha waved his brother up and bounded off to greet Tsukiko.

" Rough day?" Observed Taku. Ilya set Ami down with a grunt. " What gave it away?" He asked dryly. Taku shrugged, used to Ilya's mood swings. Ami reached up and grabbed Taku's hand.

" Can I have a glass of water please?" Ami asked. Taku ogled her. " Yeah…water." He muttered faintly. What had Ilya been teaching her? She even acted more grown up then some said people.

" Come on Taku!" Tsukiko yelled over the sound of the howling wind. Taku yelled something back but was lost as the wind dragged his words away. Sasha ran to the plane and set some of their things down.

" I think that's the last of it. Ilya has the file and Taku is getting the computer." He ran his hands through his hair and got in after Tsukiko. Ilya hurried in, his hair was wind blown. Apollymi climbed in with the help of Ilya. Sasha buckled her in.

" We're Taku?" Ilya tossed the failed into a spare chair. Tsukiko shook her head and pointed of her ear. Nothing could be heard over the howling snowstorm that was fast approaching. " Well he'd better hurry, or we're not going to be able to fly out of here!" Taku suddenly appeared out of the heavy snow.

Tsukiko helped him get the computer and himself in. " Sorry." Taku panted out. Sasha yelled to the polite and made a motion of lifting off with his hands. The plane zoomed out. The Origin children just prayed they would make it to safety. This entire war might just turn in their favor with the new information they just received. Please let us get there safely. Oh please…

An Unknown Location

There was a scratching of metal against metal. " Come on work!" Veloce hissed softly under her breath. The guards would come back to their post any minute now. The bobby pin she had swiped scrapped and slipped. Veloce growled in frustration. The lock didn't want to be picked.

She sighed, rested her head against the bars and tried to calm her rapidly beating heart. A deep breath was taken before Veloce set back to work. The sound of the metal from the bottom of the guard's shoes came echoing down the hall. Veloce looked up in horror. No…crap! She withdrew the pin. A soft click sounded.

It was open. Veloce felt her eyebrow twitch. Of all the times to open it opens for her now! ARG, fucking stupid door! The clicking of boots came closer. Veloce's breath hitched. Oh shit. Should she run…or should she stay.

Everything in her body screamed: Run. Run. She glanced hurriedly around the room. Grabbing the filthy blanket and arranged it on the equally filthy hay, it looked somewhat like she did. Holding her breath, she slipped out and clicked the door back into place.

The clattering of the boots flattered. Veloce squeezed her eyes together. Please…keep coming. The walking continued again. She fled down the hall under the shadows. Her bare feet made no sounds as she went in search for the rest of her family.

Everyone had to get out of here. Even if they didn't survive, anywhere was better than here.
