Ok….really sorry I haven't updated in a long time…I know…I'm such a bum…. Oh and in the last Chapter I made a mistake. I told you Hilary's horse's name was Blizzard. Then I said that Fox calmed Storm. The right name for Hilary's horse is Storm. Sorry for the confusion.
Oh and her are quick descriptions of the horses…srry if I gave the wrong colors in the last one… I was kind-of brain dead.
Shadow Dancer: This is Fox's horse. The horse is a deep black, with silver eyes, and silver mane and tail. Wayyyyyy too cool.
Silver lake: This is Wolf's horse. The horse is silver with a black mane and tail. Its eyes are red.
Heartbreaker: This is Tiger's horse. The horse is a reddish-brown color with a white mane and tail. Plus it has emerald eyes. Sounds kind-of weird but trust me… Heartbreaker looks really cool.
Gold Fire: This is Hawk's horse. The horse is gold with a black mane and tail. Its eyes are blue. Again, looks very cool.
Storm: This is Hilary's horse. The horse is white, with blue eyes with a gold mane and tail.
Reviews:
Kai/Hilary all the way: Sorry can't tell you. Glade you liked it!
Hutchy: Maybe….. your guess is as good as mine. No wait….it's not…
Sky: Two words for the first part. Shut up.
Disclaimer: Don't own beyblade. I only own my characters. So there. Don't sue.
Chapter 9: Introducing The heartless
Hilary threw her head back in laughter as Hawk, Wolf and Tiger chuckled as Fox fell off her horse, trying to dismount.
"Yah, yah. Don't tell me none of you haven't done that." Fox said, trying to hide the grin on her face. Hilary put a hand over her mouth to stop the laughter as she and the others dismounted with more grace. Fox only snorted at this, walking her horse in. Hilary and the rest followed. As one of the stable boys passed, Fox and her crew purposely grew tense and lead their horses in the wrong way. Startled by this Hilary waited until the stable boy was gone to ask about it. But as soon as the stable boy was gone, Hilary forgot to ask.
Walking into the main hall, Fox, her crew and Hilary laughed at one of Tiger's jokes. The laughter stopped when a stern looking man, wearing the arm's uniform, except with a lot more badges and such, stepped in front of them.
"You are to report to the meeting room." His voice boomed slightly, and there was a tone of pure hatred in it. Fox growled at him, then stiffly lead her crew and Hilary past him. Hilary followed the example of Fox and her crew, walking stiffly until they were out of sight of the man. Still, though Hilary knew she couldn't see him, Hilary looked back, towards him.
"Ignore him. He's the general. His name's Iron. Or at least that's his nickname." Fox said, pulling Hilary's gaze forward again. Hilary only nodded.
"He had some hatred to his voice." Hilary said slowly. Hawk nodded.
"He hates us about as much as we hate him." She said.
"Why?" Hilary asked. She gasped then. She hadn't meant to say that, it was none of her business. Every time she had asked the guys something like that, they'd gotten really mad at her. Hilary was surprised to see Fox only smile at her question.
"While your friends may shun curiosity, we do not. You can ask us anything, and we'll answer honestly." She said, the smile still playing on her lips. The others nodded in agreement.
"To answer your question, he hates us, and we hate him, because the king hired him to be the one who was to break us in. He hates us because we made a fool of him, refusing to be broken. We hate him because he tried to break us." Wolf said, her eyes straying over Hilary's face.
"Brake?" Hilary asked, more confused than before. Fox looked up, seeing that they had reached the meeting room.
"We'll tell you another time Hilary, I promise. But now we just don't have the time. We need a long moment to explain." She opened the doors, showing what looked to be a large living room. But in the center there was a large table, with chairs around it. In the chairs sat the BeyBreakers, Mr. Dickenson, The Saint Shields, Tracy and the King. A young maid rushed over and pulled out a chair, in-between Tracy and Rei.
Hilary looked at Fox, wondering what to do. Wolf pushed Hilary towards the chair, "sit." She whispered into Hilary's ear. Hilary obediently walked over and sat down. She looked back, only to see that Fox and her crew were leaning against a wall. No one had offered them a set, nor had they taken one. Finally it occurred to her. 'duh, there guards, guards don't get to sit.' She thought to herself turning back to the King.
"As you know, last night, there was an incident, luckily Tracy was not to badly hurt, and she will make a full recovery. Why there was an attack on her, no one knows…yet." Hilary looked down, noticing that he hadn't mentioned that she had also been attacked, and that no one had corrected him. She silently sighed to herself.
"The only clue left was the signature in blood, which read, The Heartless. Suddenly, everything flooded back to Hilary. The blood, the red eyes that had been staring at her and Fox's crew on the way back from the village, and she remembered the signature. She looked up, finding herself looking into the eyes of the King. She quickly turned her gaze away.
"The Heartless? Who the hell are they?" Tyson's voice asked the question everyone else had been thinking.
"The heartless….. Well…. They're…." The King shook his head, not sure of how to describe them.
"The heartless are a ban of girls who kill humans." Tracy said. Everyone's face went white. Hilary turned to see Fox and her crew's reaction, only to find that they were calm, while no one else was. Seeing this, Hilary convinced herself that this was nothing to be nervous about. Because Fox wasn't nervous. And neither was the rest of her crew.
"Why…why use the term 'human'?" Kenny asked, breaking the silence. The King looked away slightly, embarrassed.
"Their said to not be human." He said softly.
"Then what are they? I can't believe you believe that crap!" Kai suddenly said, his voice raised. Mr. Dickenson shot him a warning glance, telling him not to speak that way to the king. The king just waved this on.
"Their Beasts." He said so softly that it was almost too soft to hear. People were again taken aback.
"Beasts, supposedly, are ½ human, and ½ of the bit beast that shares their soul." The King said, looking at everyone.
No one spoke for a long moment. Then, "Why do they kill humans?" Miriam's voice echoed, pulling everyone from their thoughts.
The King shook his head. "I'm….we're not sure." Everyone could only nod.
"Keep your eyes open everyone. We don't want anyone getting hurt. Always travel outside the walls of the my house with a guard." He then nodded to everyone, then got up and left. Tracy soon followed him, as did Mr. Dickenson, leaving everyone else to sit in thought. As Hilary sat in thought, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She looked up to see Fox. Fox gestured to the door, telling her they should go.
Hilary nodded and got up, not looking back.
Hilary walked beside Fox and her crew, wondering if she could ask about the heartless. "Like I said before, we don't shun curiosity." Fox said, looking back at Hilary. Hilary sighed.
"Tell me more about The Heartless. Tell me what they didn't tell us, because I think you know more."
Well that's all for now…. REVIEW! Please… puppy face
