I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean 2, and trust me, it's worth it. The bets movie of the year! I recommend everyone to see it. I mean, Jack Sparrow was so funny, and the Jack/Elizabeth and Will/Elizabeth drama and romance was nuts. Who knew Elizabeth wanted Jack? Actually, I did, but whatever…

Chapter 13: Journey

"Friends, family, residents, I've called this emergency meeting to state what a lot of us already know." Said Yelena, standing on a big wooden platform. Hilary sat on a chair behind her, with the other Bladebreakers. They seemed as confused as we did.

"The Battle of the Beasts is just around the corner. And, we have the proof of it behind me." She stated, waving a hand at the team. We are here, the strangers from a distant land, Hilary thought.

"As you all know, we need to free the good from the Blade before the battle, otherwise we are sure to perish in the battle." Finished Yelena, stepping back for Marques to come up.

"I will be taking Miss Hilary here to the mountains of Lady Querida, in the shrine of Xanti, where she will release the good from The Blade. We will be gone for a few nights, and when we return, we expect everyone to be ready and prepared for battle." He concluded, stepping back.

What…

Hilary marched up to Marques. "Where are we going?" she whispered-yelled, angry as heck. Nobody informed her of going anywhere, let alone freeing the good from her beyblade.

"I'll explain later." He whispered back, with just as much anger in his words. She narrowed her eyes at him, before heading back to her seat beside Tyson. He gave her a quizzical look, but she shrugged, letting him know she had no clue herself.

But she would find out.


"Pack your bags, woman! We're off at dawn." Said Marques, once the meeting was over. The Bladebreakers were located at Zorion's house, watching Hilary pack a fur bag Yelena made for her.

"What do you think I'm doing?" she asked sarcastically, rolling her eyes. Marques was getting a bit tense for her taste, and before she thought he was tough!

"Well, pack faster. We don't have all night." Replied Marques, making her sweat drop, before saying "Yeah, we have until DAWN!"

"C'mon, boys, let's keep training." Offered Marques gruffly. He had taken a liking to the Bladebreakers, especially Kai, who he says is a man of few words, but he gets his point across. Hilary couldn't agree more with that statement.

When the door slammed, she assumed that everyone left and she practically jumped out of her skin when she heard Tyson's voice behind her.

"Hilary, are you actually planning on going?" asked the young beyblader. Hilary sighed. Ever since the 'incident' he would call it, he's been a bit too overprotective of her. He practically wouldn't even let her go to the washroom alone!

"Of course, it's not like I have a choice though. I'm the one who has to free the good from my beyblade before the battle." She explained to him, but she didn't expect him to get it, after all, it was Tyson she was talking to.

Still, he managed to surprise her in more ways than one. "Then I'm coming." He stated simply, and Hilary had to force herself not to smack him upside the head.

"Tyson, I'm not a baby, I can take care of myself, you don't have to come." She said calmly, packing her bow and arrows in her bag beside her cell phone, and although it doesn't work, she thought that maybe it could scare off wild animals. Maybe is the key word.

"I know that, but I want to come." He replied immaturely, like a baby wanting a lollipop. Hilary closed her bag shut, and stood up, preparing for a fight with him.

"Stop, ok? Just stop. Stop thinking that some girl that can't defend herself, and needs someone else to protect her!" she yelled angrily, standing close to him. She noticed that he was clenching his fists, but she didn't care, she just continued. "Ever since the Ben incident, you've been following me like an invalid! I don't need someone to protect me!"

Tyson looked angrier after every sentence she said. "Hilary, stop! I know you don't need protecting, but I want to! I…I was out of my mind when you disappeared." He said sincerely, shocking Hilary. Tyson had never said anything that…lovely, before.

"We went all the way to Portugal for you, and I…don't want to lose you again." He concluded. Hilary let go of her breath, completely unaware that she was holding it in the first place. She smiled softly, and put her arms around his waist lightly, then squeezed a bit more.

He blushed lightly, partly on what he said to her and her actions. What did I just say…he thought, afraid he said something embarrassing like the fact he had a slight crush on her. Well, not slightly, his brain reminded him, his crush on her was actually pretty big.

But, when he looked down in her ruby eyes, he knew exactly why he liked her in the first place.


"Ok, which way do we go?" Tyson asked impatiently, once the team of Marques, Tyson. Hilary and Mirari (she had blackmailed Marques in some way Hilary was sure she was going to find out) reached a fork in the road. They were able to see the mountain of Lady Querida by now, but Marques had informed them not to get their hopes up; that the mountains were pretty big and far, and we won't reach them until tomorrow afternoon, if we go quickly enough.

Mirari and Hilary looked from each side, and the girls had trouble to decide which way. One had a sign that said BEWARE OF BEARS and another had BEWARE OF ANYTHING.

"I say we just go off the path and go straight through." Said Marques impatiently, his arms crossed over his chest, a move that Kai would be proud of.

"No way! Let's go through the Anything path. We can meet cool things like giant meatball sandwiches or millions of donuts!" exclaimed Tyson happily, pointing to the path on the left.

"Yeah, and we can meet things like evil unicorns and herbivores that eat people." Hilary said angrily. Seriously, she thought, these people are crazy. "Listen guys, Yelena said to follow the path, and the closest way to the mountains from here is the Anything path. So, let's stay out of 'anything's' way, and make our way to Xanti." She explained, turning to everyone. Mirari was up to it, and so was Tyson. Marques just grumbled something along the lines of "Why did she have to come?", but followed anyway.

"Marques, don't be a pain." Said Hilary, rolling her eyes. She noticed that she was getting into more fights with him than Tyson lately, which was kind of weird.

"Well, you stop being such a…bloody woman." He replied, getting agreements from Tyson, before she narrowed his eyes at him and he stopped.

"I am a woman, idiot!"

"And I am a…pain."

"You just made fun of yourself!"

"Guys…"

"I can do whatever I want!"

"Guys…"

"Then why don't you want to shut up?"

"GUYS!"

"What!" cried Hilary and Marques in unison at Mirari. She was staring at something high into the sky, and it took a second for the two angry people to figure it out, until Tyson yelled:

"FLYING FISH!"

Let me translate a couple things:

Querida: Beloved

Xanti: St. James

There we go. Um…yeah, the flying fish was random I know, but I felt like I needed some humor in here, am I right? And for all y'all who wanted a longer chapter, I hope this was nice and long enough for ya! The song of the chapter is Me and U by Cassie. I love that song! Please review!
