Chapter 12


"I see still as pathetic," said a cruel voice in front of everyone. I cried out and crawled further away from them. It was my brothers. Shiro and Kuro.

"As ever," said the second voice, I looked away and stood shakily.

"You're supposed to be dead!" I yelled at them angrily and shaking all over.

"You see we've come back for one reason. We can't die till this happens," said Dylan or Shiro now,

"What's that?" I asked curiously

"To see your true power!" said Kuro or Jake; I shuddered remembering Kuroyuri's cruel words. I was made in a lab……. I stood determined now and stood. Vertigo who had started wobbling was now spinning strongly against all odds. I closed my eyes and plugged my Ipod in. Flicking on my loyal song I always used n tough times. Armand Van Helden, MyMyMy. I started dancing while others watched; I turned the volume down to still listen to the others. I stopped when nothing happened.

"You wanted a battle then fight!" I yelled at them angrily before Max started playing music on Rick's CD player. I smiled so now I wouldn't have to use my Ipod. They both nodded venomously under their hoods. I flinched at memories fogging my mind.

"Aeru! Nightmare Darkness!" shouted Jake attacking

"Vertigo counter with dancing hurricane!" I shouted in return spinning faster and faster. The blades clashed together and were equal. Dylan was looking around before he spoke.

"Hey where's the little squirt," he asked then Jake started laughing

"Oh yeh you killed him," he laughed at me mocking me and my guilt

"I did not!" I screamed at them

"Yes you did, you couldn't protect him!" said Dylan

"Then him haven been taken-" started Jake

"Let him die!" roared Dylan mocking me again, I bent over clutching my head and screamed. There was a shooting pain in my head. Nightmare Darkness…..is a mental. Attack…. I looked up hellishly at my 'brothers' and growled furiously

"I did not kill him!" I screamed angrily forcing my blade to go forward and crash with their own but the power didn't subside it carried on until it demolished half the garden wall, the dish and all that remained of Shiro and Kuro were their cloaks. I fell forwards into the broken and cracked dish weakly and coughed as Vertigo's power subsided and came to spin peacefully but strongly by my head. I felt so tired and just wanted to sleep. I managed to stay awake to hear everyone come running over.

"Thea! Thea!" shouted Tyson running over followed by everyone else including Mr D and the rest of the adults. Tyson, Ray and Kai knelt down and Kai stopped Vertigo by knocking him over with Dranzer.

"I feel so tired," I said closing my eyes and keeping them closed listening to the others.

"Try and stay awake Thea," said Ray grabbing my hand. I squeezed back gently telling him I understood. A blanket was thrown over me and Max's dad came forward and carried me through to the bed room.

"She really needs a doctor along with Kenny, Miguel and Emily," said Judy looking worried

"No doctor," I said stubbornly trying to move myself upwards and half failing until Ray grabbed my arms and moved me himself "Thanks Ray,"

"It's cool," he replied smiling I nodded and glared back.

"The others need the doctor not me, I'm just tired," I said

"Now, now don't be foolish Thea; of course you need a doctor." Said Mr D "That was a strong release of power and the BBA is paying for the repairs on Mr Granger's dojo. The least you can do for everyone is see a doctor," he added

"No," I said flatly

"But Thea," said Hilary

"There's no point making her, she won't see him," said Ray, I nodded smirking then looked down.

"I've caused more trouble haven't I?" I asked quietly "I really shouldn't be here if I cause this much trouble," I added

"No!" shouted Ray suddenly angrily "You have to stop thinking about it like this! Why the hell would we let you stay if we thought you were troublesome!" he snarled at me, I looked at him shocked and looked down.

"I don't know," I said meekly

"Stop saying that! I'm sick and tired of you saying it all the time!" he shouted again standing up and grabbing his head "You don't always have to know the answer!" he growled loudly before sprinting out the door and slamming it in the face of everyone. I turned my head away and let a rogue tear roll down my cheek.

"Just go," I said "everyone,"

"But Thea, Ray didn't mean it, he's just frustrated," begged Max

"I know perfectly well what he meant! Now leave me alone!" I yelled loudly moving in my bed and standing. I stumbled and pushed everyone out then fell ungracefully onto the floor exhausted. I started crying and heaving with the sobs. I silently fell asleep on the floor that night. By myself, for the first time in a long time.


After Ray stormed from Thea's room he walked down the corridor thumping until he reached outside. He launched Driger furiously and started training.

"Why does she have to been so upset all the time!" he muttered "Kai got over that why not her!" he said angrily and glared at Driger as he spun faster and faster.

"Relax Ray, it's understandable," said the Neko Jin's ex team mate walking into the garden.

"No it's not alright, she's upset and there's nothing I can do about it Lee," he snarled at the other

"She needs time," said Tala joining him and followed by the rest, "You never get over what Boris does to you, it only fades," he added sitting down

"She won't tell me anything, she smiles to hide the fact she's upset and always tries to get herself killed," he said darkly "If she doesn't care anymore then there's no point in being together," he added quietly

"That's a lie Ray and you know it," said Mariah

"No Mariah, we never hug or kiss, I haven't had proper private time to talk to her. Its so frustrating!" he snapped at everyone the snatching up Driger.

"How can you be so stupid Ray," shouted Tyson "Worse then me!"

"No I'm not being stupid," said Ray

"She doesn't know because she's lost everyone, everyone in the world but us here in this garden. Well maybe not Rick and his ranting," said Hilary putting her hands on her hips.

"She's right Ray" said Lee sadly "She's lost everyone but us and is trying to keeps us around her but thinks it's failing,"

"All we can do is be there for her, especially you," said Max "She loves you more then anything else, maybe even beyblading and does everything to protect you from something she can't control,"

"But I'm tired of her trying to protect me, I want to do it. I want to be the one she depends on not me depending on her," complained Ray sitting down with his head in his hands

"She depends on you more then you know Ray," said Kai out of the blue "You're her base, she can't do anything without knowing you or anyone else is there," he added before turning away "I'm gonna go visit her." Kai walked off towards the house and inside. Ray just stood up and turned to the gate.

"I'm going to go think," he said solemnly and walking out

"Just be back for tomorrow night!" shouted Mariah

"Shhh! Mariah not so loud she might hear," said Matilda

"Oh! Opppps," she said smiling. They shook their heads and sat down waiting for Kai to return. After 10 minutes he came out looking down.

"She fell asleep onto the floor," he said "I'm guessing she fell over and was too tired to get up," he said

"Ray should be here doing this, not Kai," said Daichi "She's his girlfriend,"

"Yeh but right now they're having trouble," said Emily coming out with a plaster across her left eye with Michael helping her and then Miguel and Arron helping him and finally Kenny with Hilary helping him.

"Are you all feeling better?" asked Robert out of the deep

"Yeh we're fine Robert just bruised," said Miguel "Thanks, the blades power missed us but got the beams above us," they all nodded then sat down for the rest of the day awaiting the return of Ray and the waking of Thea.


In the morning I woke up in my bed tucked away. I rolled over and saw on my bedside was a white lily next to a note. I grabbed the note and started reading.


Dear Thea

I want to apologise for shouting at you yester day. I was just frustrated and worried. I hope you can forgive me.

Love

Ray

I smiled and got out of bed. I was still in my clothes from yesterday and changed quickly into some other new clothes. I pulled out a new pair of cargo shorts and a red tank top to hang loosly over my shoulders and was around mid thigh length. I slipped my flip flops on and Vertigo strapped to my side. I clipped the lily in my hair which stood out but I didn't care. Last night I had thought over what Ray had said and decided it was right. I didn't always have to know the answer but it was good if I did. I walked out the room with my sake board under my arm and made it to the living room where everyone was sleeping. I tip toed to the garden where Kai and the rest of the Blitzkrieg boys were.

"Hey guys," I said quietly waving, they looked up slightly surprised

"Good Morning," said Spencer in what I took as 'warmly'

"Morning," I replied coming over and sat down and sighed "Still tired from yesterday." I complained "Took a lot out of me," They all looked at me like I was crazy but shook it off. I stood after a bit and stretched.

"Have you all had breakfast?" I asked

"No, we just have tea," said Tala

"Okay, I'll bring some out," I replied, they all nodded and I walked off into the house padding silently into the kitchen. I saw Ray asleep at the table and I froze slightly before carrying on. I slipped over to the kettle and started boiling water and gathering all the ingredients for the tea. There was a moving sound by the table but I ignored it knowing he was waking up. There was shuffling then arms around my waist.

"I'm sorry," he said quietly in my ear, I turned to look at him and giggled softly. He looked a mess right now, with his head band missing and his hair sticking out. His fringe was hanging over his eyes and you could only catch a glimpse at the amber orbs behind them. I smiled and lifted my hand and gently tucked a few strands behind his ears. I nuzzled against my hand and I smiled again.

"Your forgiven," I replied "What you said was right," I added as he leaned forward a placed a kiss on my forehead I giggled and sigh hugging him tightly. The kettle suddenly whistled loudly and we both jumped and almost knocked each other over.

"Oh my god," I gasped as I finally grabbed the kettle and took t off the hob.

"Who are those for?" he asked

"Tala's gang," I replied pouring the water and grabbing a tray. Ray helped load the tea onto it and followed me with his hands on my hips and walking in sync with me. The others were waking up except Tyson and Daichi.

"Morning," I whispered to the Majestic's who were rubbing their eyes and sitting up on the pallets. Ray waved, smiled and nodded at them.

"Good Morning Thea, Ray," said Robert plainly getting up quickly before walking towards the bathroom before the morning rush. We made it outside as the Blitzkrieg boy were stopping.

"Teas here guys," said Ray moving away as I bent and placed the tea on the wood flooring. They nodded and walked over and took the tea and closed their eyes.

"I'm going to go make breakfast," I sighed standing up

"Not without me," cried Ray standing "I usually I make it!"

"I don't care I'm doing it now," I said shuffling quickly away towards the kitchen with Ray chasing me. Everyone was moving as I weaved through the mass of 'I don't do morning' bladers in front of me. I heard them groan and some smile at my giggling and Rays laughing ringing through the halls. We had finally made up. I made it to the kitchen as Mariah and Hilary stopped Ray for me and by the time he had come in I had put sausages in the oven, pancakes were cooking, eggs were boiling, rice was being steamed and finally water boiling for tea and coffee.

"How can you do this?" he asked staring "I can only cook two things at once,"

"Naturally," I said smiling "I'm a woman, Ray," he huffed and started setting plates, forks and knives out. He pulled the table to block the kitchen door and set the stuff up. It was going to be like feeding the thousands.

"Breakfast" I yelled and banged a pot with a wooden spoon.

"You know Ray," I said "I feel like the old lady who lived in the shoe, with lots a kids," I smirked, he nodded laughing as Robert, Hilary, Mariah and Johnny were the first to come over for food.

"Eh? What's this?" asked Mariah

"I'm feeding the thousands," said Ray smiling and holding up his pink apron I had made him wear.

"Breakfast ladies!" cheered Hilary

"Breakfast man," corrected Robert

"You mean woman as well," started Mariah as they soon got into a heated discussion,

"Shut up pinkie," said Tala barging forward and grabbing more tea,

"Don't call me pinkie! French fry!" yelled Mariah glaring at ala as they got into a glaring match.

"Back of the line Tala," I said grabbing the tea cup and whacking his head with the spoon.

"What the hell!" he yelled "……"

"Whatever Tala, I heard that, asshole yourself, there's tons of people being fed in this dojo and you're the minority," I yelled at him,

"Listen I'll take the tea and coffee around for them," he said kissing my cheek

"Fine but hurry they're getting closer," I said pointing at Tyson and Daichi who seemed to be itching to get to the food, literally. Soon after about an hour of food fights and yelling everyone was happily sitting eating or talking with each other. I plonked down on the floor and sighed. People started doing they're own thing and the girls volunteered to wash up. Ray walked over and sat down next to me.

"There's something we've been planning for this evening and you have to show," he said whispering in my ear, I nodded and looked at him curiously

"What is it Ray?" I warned.

"Well you know everything that happened?" he asked, I nodded "To raise money there is a fund raising concert tonight. All BBA bladers are going up in teams or group of friends and performing to a crowd of people who bought tickets. You are the guest of honour," he finished, my mouth dropped open fully as the realisation hit me. Ray was singing. Since Vertigo with Kai and the others. I smirked and nodded fully.

"I'll come, but what do I do?" I said getting panicky suddenly

"Don't worry we'll show you what to do, you're a fast learner," said Mariah behind me then grabbed my am and dragged me off.

"You got 7 hours to learn 3 songs, dances and all as well as a song of your choice," she smirked, I gulped and nodded as I was pulled off to certain doom.
