10. Dealings with Bullies

Another year had gone by in their dull lives with the children carrying out the daily schedule. Helping to take their minds off the boredom Bree and Bryan had been acquainted with Kayla and the two took turns bringing her a daily meal of shitty bread or cold mushy porridge. The little girl was a lot like her brother and knowing that Kai was unable to see her Bree and her brothers' did what they could to comfort the girl adopting her into their group. The four bladers were finally beginning to become accustomed to the new nightly routine though having to see Voltaire's ugly face all the time put a damper on everyone's spirits. To Bree's great disbelief it especially seemed to affect Kai and the girl saw a bit of a change come over her friend. He had been keeping to himself most of the time lately and he wasn't really talking to anybody either. A shell was forming itself around the blue haired boy, a small one but a shell nonetheless. One night when Bree was able to get a good look at Kai during the nightly sessions she had realized that the rebellious fire had gone from his crimson eyes. All that remained was a blank uncaring stare and the girl wished to help him but considering how she was experiencing difficulties of her own there wasn't much that she could do. A big bully named Spencer was going around the abbey picking on those smaller than him including Bree's twin brother. Even though the idiot was only nine, the same age as Tala and Bryan, Spencer made it seem like he owned the place. Ben was being bullied again a few weeks after Bree had first heard of it going on and this time she was there to witness it and do what she could to help her twin.

"Would you look who's here if it isn't the little softy that runs off crying to little baby girls," Spencer said with a sneer.

He doesn't look so tough just another blonde thick headed brat, Bree thought intently listening to the argument.

"Would you just shut up at least I'm not a big blockheaded bloke that drives everyone away from him when they see his butt ugly face," Ben retorted.

Great now he's done it, the girl thought as the older boy landed a punch on her brother's cheek.

"Ok kid I may bug my brother as much as anyone else but laying a hand on him now you have me to deal with," Bree commented butting in to the squabble.

"Aw would you look at that the little baby needs one of his weak little girls to bail him out of trouble," Spencer teased.

"You shouldn't have said that even I know when to not piss her off and you just went over the line," Ben said as Bree's face started to turn red.

The next second before any of the boys had time to react Bree was on top of Spencer beating him to a pulp. Lucky for the blonde however Tala was walking down the halls and spotted the fight.

"Bree this is no way to settle an argument," the red head said as he pulled the fuming girl from the boy so she wouldn't murder him.

"He's the one who started it," she argued glaring at the bruised Spencer.

"Yes, I didn't say you couldn't fight him I'm just saying not to use your fists. I doubt that your brothers or any of the rest of us would want to find out what Boris would do to you if he found out you had murdered a guy," Tala said and once the girl seemed calmer he set her back down on the ground.

"Fine whatever Tala," she subsided and turning to Spencer challenged, "You're lucky that Tala came along so you could keep your life but now you're going down. I challenge you to a beybattle."

"Works for me if you want to see your precious blade turned to ashes."

"Oh I highly doubt that you better be ready to lose," Bree retorted and the small group moved to one of the training rooms to make use of the many Beydishes.

The competitors stood on either side of the dish with Tala at the centre as ref.

Ben had run off and the girl thought, He's probably off to see Kayla again ever since he met her he's gone to see her every single day. Probably just wants to do Kai a favour seeing how he's unable to go to her himself.

The red head giving them the signal the two blades were launched. The Beyblades bashed against one another as it seemed that Spencer having the bigger Beyblade had the upper hand. It appeared to the girl that all her opponent cared about using was brute force and manoeuvring Sapphire attempted to dodge the massive blows. The other blade kept on her and Bree's Sapphire was pounded by the larger blade. It seemed like the constant thrashing was too much for the small agile object and in a last attempt the girl called upon her bit-beast. The blue dragon emerged but was suddenly struck down as Spencer's bit Seaborg emerged. The massive whale bit crushed the blue dragon and the girl's blade crashed to the ground. Bree looked down at her feet where her blade now lay in a jumbled heap, pieces of its strong attack ring had been cut clean off. Spencer just stood there laughing at the girl as he retrieved his Seaborg blade and walked off as Tala ran over to his friend.

"Come on Bree let's get out of here," he said as he bent down taking her shattered Beyblade from the ground.


Leading her off he left the girl in his cell, not quite sure where her room was and dashed off to go find the others knowing that they'd do something to help.

I've never seen Bree like this it's kind of creepy. Where the hell is Kai he could cheer her up, Tala thought his feet pounding through the twisting halls.

Not paying attention to where he was going he collided into something, him and the thing toppling to the ground.

"Sorry," the boy sheepishly said but looking up and realizing it was Kai added, "Thank God I found you dude."

"Okay do I even wanna know what's going on?"

"Probably not but Bree's blade got trashed and she's really upset, nothing I can think of is working and I thought you'd be able to cheer her up."

"Are you serious?" The other boy asked in shockhis friend's words catching his attention.

"Yeah that Spencer brat I'm sure you've heard of him."

"Course everybody has thestupid idiot goes around picking on kids smaller than him," Kai answered.

"Yeah so you coming or not?"

"Duh I'm coming what the hell are we standing around here for?"
As the two boys ran back to where Tala had left Bree he explained the story to Kai of what had happened to the girl's beyblade. The red head had decided to stand guard by the door in case Boris or one of the other bastards decided to come their way allowing Kai some time alone to calm the girl down.


Entering the confinements of the cell Kai's gaze fell upon Bree who sat alone in the dark. She looked so sad to him sitting there holding her legs close to the rest ofher body with her head resting on crossed arms and a fist clasped around the remnant of her beyblade.

Poor Bree she looks so upset. If only I could go over there and give her a big hug but that might scare her off before I get a chance to talk to her, he thought care for the girl piercing the cold gaze of his eyes.

He didn't hug her but instead went over and placed an arm around her shoulder.

"It's alright Bree," he said and as the girl lifted her head gazing into his eyes she saw a warmth there that had been lost to her for the past year.

Tears threatening to fall from her eyes Bree opened her hand showing Sapphire to him and said, "How can it be alright she's ruined?"

"Come on now I'm sure that Ben and Bryan can fix it up making it as good as new."

"Like they could fix it I've had Sapphire for as long as I can remember."

"You never know till you try let's go pay those brother's of yours a visit," Kai replied helping his friend off from the floor.

Meeting up with Tala the three of them walked down the corridors to Kayla's cell where they hoped to find Bree's brothers.

"KAI," Kayla cried and running over to him gave her brother a hug.

"Hey sis, is Ben around?" He asked the boy putting on a happy act he didn't want his sister to see the torment he was suffering through.

"Yep," she replied as the purple haired boy came up behind her.

"Ok you guys what's going on," Ben questioned seeing his friends all gathered there.

Kai answered, "That damn Spencer kid busted up your sister's blade and we were hoping you and Bryan could fix it?"

"I'll see what I can do, Bry should be by here in a few minutes with food he'll help out too," Ben answered and released the mangled blade from Bree's grip.


A few hours passed and Bree sat alone, her brothers tinkering around with her blade having begun making adjustments once Bryan had shown up. Tala was watching them it seemed like he wanted to give her some space and Kai sat a little ways away from her with his sister in his lap.

As he ruffled the little girl's hair Bree thought, He seems so happy with her, if only he would open up his feelings that much around me. Wait what am I thinking of course he wants her to think he's happy she's his sister. I get it now Kai's doing what they say to protect her, I wish there was something I could do for him.

"Well sis the blade's all fixed up now and even better than it used to be," Ben said pulling his sister from her thoughts.

"Thanks guys," she replied and Bryan handed her the remodeled Sapphire.

"We've given you more defensive capabilities so the next time you're up against a tough opponent like that you'll be ready to stand up to him," Bryan added the boys impressed with their work.

Joining the group Tala put in, "So who else thinks she should ask Spencer to a rematch and give that bastard a run for his money?"

Everyone agreed including Kayla who didn't really know what they were going on about and with a groan Bree asked, "What am I letting you guys get me into?"


Well there's another chapter done and in the next one Bree gets to take on Spencer. He better not total her blade this time and Cass don't murder me I'm too young to die. Please review and I should have the next chapter up as soon as I can a few days at the latest.
