Chapter 8

Two days after the disastrous 'party' was the Championships. It was major Déjà vu, only this time I wasn't exactly the most suicidal person there. It turned out that Axel the weirdo trainer was taking the fourth person's place with me, Garland and Brooklyn. I really wasn't going to be ready for this, facing my team, the team I loved and had become my friends. What would I do when I saw them and same for them? Would they shun me beyond repair, embrace me, or stare from afar. Tyson and Daichi and maybe also Ray will feel betrayed…….Kai is angry and I can understand why but Max, oh how I don't want to see him sad. Hilary will probably call me a selfish bitch trying to yell sense into me and Kenny will be silent. Maybe angry…… I sighed and rolled out of bed dragging my clothes into the bathroom for a shower. I had chosen the only thing I had felt then. Sadness. I chose to go for the Emo look of the depression. It was a good thing the old me had saved the tops I had. I chose black baggy trousers, a crimson belt, short sleeved tank top and arm warmers. I liked to add those to cover the old me's scars of sadness. I raced through to the bedroom and hunted for scissors. I was going to hack off the hair Boris had liked and made me keep. I swiftly chopped here and there on my hair. By the end it was short and went in spikes at the back. I smiled to myself knowing Boris would go haywire again at it. There was a knock at the door and I walked out. Axel stood stunned at my change and coughed.

"What the hell did you do?" he shouted waving his hands and pointing to my hair.

"Oh nothing, a little hair dressing," I said sarcastically "Get used to it," I yelled and stormed off, my Vans slapping heavily on the marble hall of the forum. Brooklyn, Garland were standing stoic looking at Boris. He looked up and immediately glared at me

"What is the meaning of this?" he hissed

"What you mean the ugly bastard in front or behind of me?" I asked innocently, he growled and stalked over before Brooklyn coughed

"Sir, if we hurt her now, we won't be able to compete," he said, Boris stopped and glared then turned back.

"Get into the car, we're going to the stadium," he shouted, we nodded and headed off solemnly. Once we arrived there were crowds and crowds around the entrance. I was last out of the car when I heard whispers.

'Wasn't she with the Bladebreakers?'

'I heard she killed her family,'

'Didn't she escape from here the last time, nearly killing us all?'

I remember that, she exploded her blade almost killing Ray-Ray,'

Hearing these made me sick and I turned to the group of girls whispering, pointing and laughing. I stormed over and they stopped looking at me incredulously.

"I don't give a shit what the hell you say, but leave the Bladebreakers out of this!" I yelled at them, the whole crowd was silent behind and around me all looking at the shouting. Brooklyn and Garland tried approaching me but Boris stopped them.

"Yeh well it's your fault you ditched them," hissed another girl

"No I didn't," I yelled, I turned to the crowd laughing slightly then it turned into a major laughing fest.

"Okay you all are probably dying to know why I left!" I screamed looking possibly drunk in the process "I went to find my little brother! It turned out Boris had kidnapped and killed him! Threatening to kill my boyfriend and his team! Happy now! Are you just happy?" I screamed breaking down into tears. I blinked upwards as someone grabbed my arms. It was Mariah and Kevin of the White Tigers. They hung my arms over their shoulders and stood me up. Lee grabbed my bag and slung it over his shoulder.

"Why are you doing this?" I whispered

"Whether you wanted to hurt all of us or not, we're your friends, the White Tigers cherish it above all others," said Lee glaring at my 'team' that had long been gone from the area. I nodded and sniffed.

"I'm so sorry, I don't want to be here," I said hiccupping loudly as we entered the main building. Inside I saw all my friends but not my 'team'. The Bladebreakers just turned their back along with many of the other teams. I sniffed and bowed my head more then started collapsing again. Kevin squeaked out as the weight increased. Gary came up behind and actually lifted me up off the ground. I turned my head to look at him and he smiled. He was too me the BFG, Big Friendly Giant. We walked or more they walked and I was carried. Into their changing room.

"I think you should stay here, it's a) safer and b) your better off here," said Mariah pointing to her fingers. I nodded to her and smiled tearfully.

"Who are you up against first?" asked Kevin sitting down

"Majestics," I muttered "I don't want to battle any of them," I added numbly

"We're against the All Starz and in the section B." said Lee, I nodded and stood as the announcement came through.

"Would all beybladers please report to their matches as they commence in 5 minutes," said the female voice,

"Good luck guys," I said smiling and waving as I went the opposite direction. I raced down and arrived just as my 'team' was going on.

"And please welcome a team we haven't seen in a long time BEGA X!" shouted Jazzman "There's Garland, the martial arts specialist, careful not to get messed up with the kung-fu moves!" he shouted again waving his hands around "Brooklyn with the MEGA BEGA bit beast Zeus, there's a newbie in the team again. Axel! He's a mean blader who's new on the block but how will he handle the pressure! He exclaimed. There were cheers from older fans of the team and personal supporters. "Last but certainly least is the lovely Thea, after swapping again to BEGA again, you might become suspicious if you saw the outbreak earlier! But saved by the few people loyal to her The White Tigers! We have footage of the actual event and will be playing in a minute folks!" shouted Jazzman. I screamed inside, right now I wanted to be a savage cave woman and beat the living hell out of the stupid man dressed up in traditional Japanese clothes trying to look cool. I watched the big screen as it flicked on to show my earlier out break. I watched as everyone showed expressions of shock at my display. I watched the part where the White Tigers helped me, showed compassion for me and I even stayed to watch the part where Gary started helping and Lee talking.

"Enough Jazzman! Get on with the matches!" I yelled up at the stupid man before launching my beyblade at him to get his attention.

"Ahhh!" he yelled jumping back as the beyblade grinded across the metal bar in front of him "You can't attack me kid," he yelled

"I can if you don't start the bloody matches," I yelled back. He nodded sternly and started the matches. It was:

Oliver vs Axel Lost

Enrique vs Garland Won

Johnny vs Brooklyn Won

Me vs Robert Won

At the end of the match I was so tired I stumbled half way across to get my blade and I started falling towards him and the ground.

Help me Robert……….help me…………anyone…….
