Chapter 4: Tyson's darkness.
Julia came back at home at quarter past five, her mind dwelling in her previous battle, and how they lost their battle to the Saint Shields. She trained for beyblading each day apart from her work at Circus and training classes. She had qualified well in her Entrance test and was allotted a job in a nearby school. She was glad for that. It would add to their bare income. Ashlene worked as waitress at the weekends but that wasn't really enough. Sometimes, she dropped that too, because of her studies. It was difficult coping up with the portion and managing everything along with Ellie. It was a blessing that she got well with Raul. It would be a fortunate opportunity if Raul gets a job when Ellie doesn't need any care.
Julia sighed. She still remembers the scenes of the battle at the Tournament. That didn't go well.
"Hey Jules, welcome back," Ashlene wished her as she prepared the table,
"Hey, Ash," Julia smiled.
She got changed; her mood hung down, and joined the table.
"Where's Raul?" Julia asked.
"He took Ellie for a walk after she ate her meals," Ashlene said,
"Oh okay." Julia nodded,
"Is everything okay, Julia?" Ashlene asked with narrow eyes.
"Yeah…" Julia said slowly, "Ash…are you upset with me?"
"WHY?" Ashlene said in shock,
"I-I m-mean, I took you suddenly from the stadium after you showed up; you didn't even see my battle properly…" Julia stuttered,
"It's okay, Julia, I didn't even mind, really." Ashlene said frankly.
"Hmm, there is reason why I took you, don't ask, please."
"I won't ask, don't bother yourself for something trivial, I trust you." Ashlene said softly.
"Thanks…" Julia smiled,
"And Jules, don't grieve for your loss. I hope you will do better next time," Ashlene smiled.
"Thanks, but…" Julia paused uncomfortably before she declared, "I won't participate in any tournaments from now on." Julia said boldly the next part.
"But why?" Ashlene asked angrily.
"I just can't. It's not that I don't like to blade, but I seriously can't participate from now on. It just doesn't feel right, trust me."
"Hmm, okay." Ashlene said sadly.
Julia knows that I quitted blading since this year, and the reason is him, and because I won't be participating in Tournaments to avoid the worst, she doesn't want to step the area where it'd get worse for me. Besides how could she just stand there and watch that all? It's unbearable. They are unbearable.
I know too well that she took me from there since she wanted me to avoid him.
"You care too much for me, don't you, Julia?" Ashlene smiled with nostalgia.
"Yeah, you are like my sister. I don't want to lose you. I can't" Julia said panicky, "You might go back to him, and I can't allow you to hurt yourself again,"
"I will never go back to that bastard!" Ashlene barked.
"Ash, calm yourself." Julia said worriedly.
"Bloody idiot! I don't care about him anymore. Let him go to hell!" Ashlene snarled.
"Okay, Ash! We will skip this talk; let's go out for a walk." Julia said frightened with a laugh.
Ashlene's shivering fierce expressions died down slowly, "No, you go to sleep, I will get a sleep too. Raul will come back soon. I will take Ellie in my room. "Ashlene stood up and walked away.
Julia sighed. This behavior of Ashlene was rare but she got emotional and fierce too quickly at trivial sensitive matters.
Julia pondered if she should do something for Ashlene. She had some bizarre idea in her mind but she knew that Ashlene would never agree for that. She didn't take any interests in other guys. She just missed her old boyfriend too much. But she had to do something, or else she would never get over him and would get frustrated very easily. She is just twenty-three and she would get a life now. She just can't pause her life.
"Hey, you will spill the ice-cream, careful, Ell, careful," Raul said softly with a frown, as he entered the house. Julia sighed and hung her head down,
"What's up Julia?" Raul asked.
"Nothing." Julia said feebly.
"Uh, where's Ash?"
She pointed her finger by stretching her hand.
Raul cradled down Ellie from his arms and headed inside. He knocked on her door, it was open.
"I'm coming," he said before he entered and saw her lying listlessly on her bed with dejection.
He examined her. She didn't even look at him. Her sorrowful eyes were staring blankly in space.
"Hey, aren't we going for a walk," Raul asked softly,
"…" she didn't reply.
"C'mon, Ash, you can't ignore me," he tried to laugh.
"I'm in no mood, Raul." Ashlene whispered.
"Oh, is that so? Why what happened?" Raul asked with courage and patience.
She shrugged. He sat beside her on the edge of table, "Tell me, Ash."
She closed her eyes. He stared at her for few seconds, her pale face was going blanch and there was an abrupt rise in her nose tip- sign of sniveling and struggling from inside.
Raul softly placed his palms on her forehead, caressing it softly. She tried holding back but then no avail.
"Go, Raul," she said lifelessly, "Leave me alone,"
"Hmm, okay." Raul nodded, understanding her situation, he got up, "If you feel that you can share anything from me later, you can. Okay?"
She gave bare nod. He walked out and saw Ellie coming inside.
"Go, help you mom." He whispered in Ellie's ears.
Ellie nodded. She looked cute and wise with her actions though she is one and a half year old. She climbed on the bed, and with cute giggle crawled on her mom, lying on her top. Raul smiled before he left.
"Momma!" Ellie cackled with small laugh, "Momma!" she squealed vibrantly again,
"Ellie, lie down beside and stop disturbing me. You are irritating!" Ashlene said jadedly.
"Uhhh," Ellie whimpered, tears filling her eyes. She sobbed silently at her mom's behavior.
Ashlene instantly noticed and got her daughter in her arms, cradling her, "Hey, I didn't mean it. I'm sorry. Forgive your mom, Ell, please." Ashlene said softly.
Ellie stopped crying and gave a smile through her tearful face. Her dark blue hair making her look prettier instantly and her blue eyes were shining.
"Its just that your dad come in my mind and worsen my moods at times." Ashlene expressed looking in her blue eyes.
"Ohhh." Ellie said softly.
"Your eyes shine so bright, I wanna save that light." Ashlene said lovingly, "C'mon, let's get a nap."
The mother and the daughter lied down, getting instantly into a slumber.

Tyson lay lazily on the bed, waiting for the match to begin. He was way too busy thinking how Dion would have beaten Derek so easily.
"I got it!" Kenny announced. Tyson abruptly got up and stomped on the poor guy, "What is it Chief!"
"Calm down Tyson! I figured how Dion did that!"
"Explain," Ray and Tyson demanded. Max was practicing out with Daichi.
"So, its' like- Phiryune was deep inside the whirl wind, and at one point, it got at the center of the whirl wind. The center of any whirl wind or any tornado is the calmest point. It's called the eye."
"The Eye?" they asked in unison.
"Yeah, at that point, the effect of the whirl wind in any direction is null-in Cerellus's case; it was whirl wind in clockwise direction."
"Oh!"
"When Phiryune got to that eye point, Dion used it to an advantage to reverse spin the blade and it wasn't any tough, because it didn't have any thrust or pressure on it. Slowly, the entire whirl wind got reverse and that drained off Cerellus's already somewhat draining energy and threw it off violently."
"Oh, so it mean the whirl wind and Cerellus was originally spinning clockwise-" Ray started,
"Even Phiryune too- that's initially,"
"Yeah, and the reverse spin in anticlockwise direction disturbed everything and got Cerellus knocked down!" Ray completed.
"Yeah, smooth, Ray!"
"This was so complicated!" Tyson sighed, "I wonder how Kai knows all theories about the eye of the storm or tornado and all that stuff!"
"Kai is wise, it's easy for him to figure things quickly." Ray said,
"Tyson, you better be careful, because your tornado attack also contains an eye which is the calmest region so, we don't know if Dion will use his reverse trick and knock you off," Kenny warned,
"What do I do then, Kenny?" asked,
"Not sure, you've to figure out a way to counter attack his trick and pull out a smart strategy if you don't want to lose there. After all, everyone knows about your Tornado attack." Kenny said cautiously,
"Oh, okay," Tyson gulped. I need to plan out a strategy before Dragoon gets knocked out the stadium, oh man.
Tyson shook his head at the thought and sunk in the couch.
"It's almost time now, I will look for Kai and others, they are still probably practicing," Kenny said as he left hurriedly,
"Let's see what this match unfolds," Ray said to himself,
"Sure," Tyson mumbled uneasily,
...
The next day, they had their match in USA, in New York. They took their flights and prepared mentally for the battle.
"Alright! The time has come for which everyone has been waiting eventually! We have our battle of G. Rev or G.R VS R.G!" Jazzman howled, his voice was blasting,
"Seriously, The Robot Genetics are well prepared this time for the match, but let's not forget that The G-Rev has The six times World Champion, Tyson and his super cool friends, especially Kai!"
"Kai is the first to blade, wow! This seems interesting!"
"Why did Kai went first?" Ray asked to Tyson,
"That's because Zeo is battling first- Kai has a score to settle with Zeo," Tyson said with a mocking smirk,
"Oh-" Ray remembered that Zeo has taken Kai's Dranzer five years back which Tyson freed.
"Bladers! Are you ready!"
"Three! Two!-"
"Hn," Kai smirked,
"One!"
"Let it rip!"
Both the bladers launched their blades.
"This dish is somewhat contrast and is specially designed to surprise our bladers!" Jazz said enthusiastically,
"What are you saying, Jazz?"
"This is it. Brad!"
The water sprinklers abruptly splashed and the blades backed off.
"Haha, these sprinklers will die down within few seconds but they will come back any moment! So bladers, be aware!"
Kai got a simple idea. He wasted no time. He kept on attacking Cerberus fiercely and constantly, Cerberus finding not very easy to clash back. Within next minutes, the sprinklers showed up again, surprising them again. Kai regained his senses quickly.
He calculated the time within which the next sprinklers will show up. He guessed the location and kept Cerberus busy in fighting back his simple attacks.
Cerberus grew vibrant and kept dodging Dranzer's attacks, suddenly- Kai finding this difficult to handle. However right a few seconds before the sprinklers would come up, Dranzer crawled on the top of Cerberus, spinning on it.
Yes now!
The sprinkler birthed, and Kai immediately reverse spun giving no chance to Cerberus to do anything. In the water thrust, Cerberus has no idea how to control its vigor and was forced to lose its direction. Kai was preparing for this moment
"Arghh!" Zeo seethed,
"Hn," Kai smirked,
As soon as the sprinkler closed, Kai immediately ordered Dranzer to spin normally, causing a great drainage of energy and momentum of Cerberus. Within few kicks, Cerberus was ditched out of the dish, Kai standing as the victor.
"W-Wow!" Jazzman was speechless, "This battle ended way too quickly than expected!"
"Yeah, so the winner is Kai from G-rev! Give applause for the quick victory!"
Kai smiled coldly before he walked back to his teammates,
"Great battle Kai!" Tyson smiled,
"Hn,"
"Tyson, you are the next," Daichi said with a sweatdrop.
"Oh," he looked at Kenny. He nodded,
"Logan's blade is a down-hand over Dragoon," Max cheered,
"Oh,"
Tyson walked to the same dish,
"Here we have Tyson VS Logan in the next match!"
Tyson looked at his opponent with judging and firm expressions. Logan gave a boring smile,
"Bladers! Get ready! Let it rip!"
Tyson launched his blade, trusting Dragoon to fullest. Logan gave a fury smile before he crashed his blade quite harshly with Tyson,
"Ohhho!" Tyson squealed. He regained his composure and started fighting back. The blades clashed very rigidly and sharply as they trotted through the sand dish with the seeds of water sprinklers. Tyson's calm, aggressive mixed face showed no signs of seething or panick. Logan was stronger than before and he was hitting Dragoon very hard.
What am I doing? Just stay calm. He is nothing. Just fight back.
"Tyson, you seriously think you are okay?" Logan said with a mock.
"You will see it," Tyson snarled,
"Oh-ho!" Logan chorused,
The crashing grew intense more than before and the blades were on the verge of damaging their gears,
"Tyson, slow down," Kenny advised,
"I know!" Tyson seethed,
"This is so intense!" Brad said,
"You haven't seen my real side, Tyson," Logan said darkly.
"Show mw then," Tyson said with folded lips,
"You are going down, Tyson" Logan said ferociously,
Logan with one hard clash, flung Dragoon on the edge of the stadium,
Man, I'd have dodged, I was thinking too much.
"Can you seriously repeat that?" Tyson mocked, anger seething in him,
"Sure," Logan smirked. Tyson was fully concentrating on dodging, a challenge to himself- Logan within nanoseconds trotted Driphon speedily towards dragoon, hitting it imperfectly.
Logan frowned dangerously, his blonde hair fluttering in air as he screamed, seeming to gather his whole power. With one powerful stride, Driphon smacked Dragoon out of dish. Tyson's eyes flashed in fear and shock. Dragoon flew in air passing right in front of his face.
Luckily, it landed back in dish vulnerably. How come Logan is too quick! He has used his full power! Fuck, what is happening to me! Something's wrong. Tyson, concentrate!
Dragoon spun.
"Relax, Tyson. Relax for some time, there is more to come," Logan said with dirty smirk.
I need to lose once to win again and again.
"I'm perfect, come for me." Tyson said with a small frown, his voice half unsure and half cold.
"Oh, I will look for myself, then."
Tyson calmed down a little as he no longer worried about Dragoon; he was intended in watching Driphon. Driphon flew up straightly in air, spinning with its one half side blade facing the dish.
With break-neck speed it plummeted down, aiming for Dragoon. Tyson saw the blade coming down, his features lifeless and listless.
He closed his eyes,
"You are doing well! I'm seriously proud to be your friend," *winks*
"Stop buttering and flirting, seriously,"
"I like you. You know that," *smirks,*
In his subconscious mind, his ripcord has moved perfectly for which he go admiration and Dragoon has moved away within flashing speed just when Driphon was a centimeter above it.
Driphon created a small crater knocking down its own speed. Tyson saw Dragon with bewilderment, his face expressionless.
"Driphon, finish it!" Logan ordered,
"Arghhaa!" Tyson roared, his chest rising and falling, his shoulders suddenly shaking, "Go!" he SNARLED!
The stadium didn't have any sprinklers working during the battle so the clashing was undisturbed, but during the final clash, it suddenly worked out. The blades clashed but were thrown up due to sprinkler's sudden thrust. They moved apart opposite to each other and landed back.
"And it's over!" Jazzman screamed.
"WTF!" Max murmured,
"How come this happened?"
"This is a tie!"
"Both the blades stop spinning at the same time, so the final match will decide the outcome or else they could be a tie breaking match as well." Brad announced.
Tyson got up and took Dragoon, "I didn't win?" he looked depressed, "This is so weird,"
He walked back to his friends, his head hung down in defeat, shoulders slump.
"Tyson, what were you doing there, seriously?" Ray asked,
"Were you fine during the match," Max asked loudly,
"I'm okay. Sorry that I lost," he handed Dragoon to Kenny not meeting any of their eyes,
He walked off, out of the stadium,
"Where are ya going?" Daichi asked,
"I need a break." Tyson said jadedly,
"I'm going next, you better watch me!" Daichi laughed as he walked to the stadium, "Haha,"
Tyson however walked off. The match begun and Daichi fought against Dion.
"Little boy, are you sure you can launch it," Dion mocked,
"Ha! Watch me you little Brat!" Daichi spat.
"Three! Two! One! Let it rip!"
Daichi and Dion launched at the same time, Daichi putting extra efforts in his launch that was predicted by Brad to be unsuccessful and hit its own self,
The moment Daichi blade hit the stadium; it bounced back with an upward thrust and accidentally. . . KNOCKED OFF Phiryune!
Everyone's eyes came out of their sockets. Kenny gasped. Max's jaw dropped, Ray gave a nervous look. Kai frowned. Daichi gave a nervous and cheerful chuckle.
"A-AND IT'S UNBELIEVABLE! DAICHI WINS THIS MATCH WITHIN SECONDS!" Jazzman said still registering in his mind what happened.
Daichi laughed nervously while Dion's expressions were incredible, like he has lost the last glass of water when he was dying. Zeo looked frantic .
"YAYY! We won the match!" Max yelled, "Daichi, you did supercool!" Max glomped at Daichi.
"And this match is won G.R! Our prominent G-Revolutions!" Jazzman announced enthusiastically, "Ladies and gentlemen please give a HUGE applaud for this victory!"
"Hey, I didn't do it, it happened by chance," Daichi said with a sweatdrop as he received a bone crushing hug from the American.
"Well, we have made this. Where is Tyson?" Kenny smiled and looked around for his friend.
"He left, in depression of his tie." Kai said coldly.
…
Tyson walked in fury and angst out of the entire stadium in the large ground that was on backside of the stadium. The sun was a little harsh and he was already sweating by the thoughts of the battle.
I'm a looser!
I'm nothing!
Fuck this title, seriously. He gave a dark smile to himself. His eyes were down and his unruly bangs were covering his black shadowed eyes. His treads were mediocre and slowly dangerous.
That Logan was nothing. He was simply barking out to beg for his power and I stood like a complete idiot. I'm sure they must think that my days are gone. I can't stand a simple match and a simple blader like Logan.
The rage of tie was getting to him and he looked murderous. People around, a few who were there, noticed him, and begun whispering about him. That added to his upsets.
A girl noticed him; she didn't look friendly by her looks. More like someone who would add salt on the wound. She seemed to be sixteen or something. Tyson didn't saw her staring at him maliciously and sadistically, knowing well that he's quite pissed off for not being able to defeat Logan. This girl was actually Emma's cousin.
She followed him slowly ignoring the silent warnings of the intruders around. She kept a sadistic smile on her pace and irritatingly followed him. He groaned inwardly a couple of time, noticing some stupid presence to pester him. Nonetheless, his thoughts were fueled by clashing past scenes and the recent tie.
"Are you really ignoring me, Tyson?" she asked.
Tyson turned angrily with seethe, "Who are you!" he asked annoyed, "And why the hell are you following me!"
"Are you a little too upset for your tie with Logan, Tyson?" she asked in sarcastic sadness.
"Why the hell are you bothered about me, you brat, and for your information, that was just a match. It's not the final battle! I don't care who wins!"
"Oww, is that the way you talk to girls. Really, do I look like a brat?" she asked with sardonically hurt.
"What the hell is your problem? I talk like I should talk!" Tyson barked.
"I'm sure Tyson, you can't even or have a girlfriend. You might have never noticed women, or could handle one, seriously." She said with sadistic smirk,
Now she was getting on his nerves, almost insulting his personal life, like he never got a girl to date.
"Oh," he said in a dangerous low tone, "You think that, really?"
"Have you got any proof, a teensiest one will do," She laughed evilly.
"Well, you don't seemed to be surrounded by any guys here either." Tyson said cynically. He closed the distance between the girl and him, his dark eyes growing evil and dangerous. The girl slowly frowned.
"You are the proof, I've all your attention," she said in mocking smirk, "You don't seem to experience any girl either," she busted laughing shortly,
"Who. The. Hell. Are. You. bitch," he said in an evil grin, he suddenly strangled her neck causing her to yelp, "I have a girlfriend, and I don't have making them with her. And as for experience, I will let you experience it by myself to prove you!" Tyson whispered viciously, his grip on her neck tightening and his other hand locking her both the hands to prevent her from moving,
"Leave me, you bloody looser," she said struggling to utter anything.
"I am gonna prove you. Get ready to lose your vir-"
"Tyson! Leave that girl!"
His friends came running after him, horrified at the scene that he has pulled out. Thankfully, there were other battles going on inside so the media was completely busy inside.
"Leave that girl! She will die!" Max tried pulling him and Kenny aided.
Daichi came running along, "Tyson, what are you doing, leave that girl!" he shouted before joining Tyson to pull the girl away from him,
"Leave me guys! This girl is really a bitch, she needs a lesson!" Tyson yelled in fury.
The girl immediately ran away catching her breath.
"You know who she was!" Max snarled.
"Whoever the fuck she was, I hell don't care! She's got a lot of problems regarding my personal life!"
"Tyson, calm down," Ray said sternly,
"You know what she said," Tyson growled,
"Yeah, I've heard somewhat, but you can't strangle her like that." Ray said coolly,
"Tyson, control yourself, she was just trying to get on your nerves. She's Emma's cousin,-"
"I don't care bloody about Emma or her brat cousin!"
"Calm down, you are being aggressive!" Kenny said scaredly.
"What bloody rights she has got to interfere and knock at my personal life! Who the hell she is!" Tyson started his inevitable fury, "Wait, she's gonna face it! She will realize that messing with Tyson Granger will cost her!" Tyson snarled vivaciously,
"TYSON, STOP IT! NOW!" a feminine voice raged suddenly.
Everyone turned to see her.
"What are you doing! Are you stupid! Calm down, she's just trying to knock down your confidence, shut up shouting now and shut down this tantrum!" Hilary held his shoulders, shaking him, yelling louder to stop him,
"Hilary, please stop him!" Max said slapping his face,
"You are being stubborn and exaggerating this trivia!" Hilary punched on his chest harshly,
"Hilary! Let me deal her, she was being a complete asshole!" Tyson protested in same tone,
"Tyson, shup up!"
"I won't, I WILL TEACH HER A LESSON!"
"Tyson, you are taking out anger on her!" Hilary squealed.
"Hilary, move away! Let me get that bitch!" Tyson roared louder, his voice box seeming to be on last.
"Tyson, I swear if you don't stop now, I will fuck you the worst way you've ever though!" Hilary shrieked louder, her throat going red and her clasp on his shoulders digging nails.
"Oh," Tyson gasped hysterically,
"Fuck me, huh?" he laughed with a sneer, "Why don't you try it." He said darkly,
"Hey guys, you're taking this all new. Why don't we discuss this calmly?" Kenny declared,
"ARE YOU SERIOUS HILS?" he said closing his distance more between her,
"I'M NOT KIDDING! YOU'LL REGRET IT! YOU'RE BEING COMPLETE SMUT! " she dared,
Tysons clung her wrist tightly taking her to the residing building quarters. Hillary seethed but in her anger, tightened her grip on his for the instant revenge.
"Do you think they'll be fine?" Daichi asked worriedly, "I'm worried about Grandma. Tyson seems in his dark self,"
"He better not regret about his actions, later" Ray said,
"Hillary will deal," Max Mumbled unsurely.
Hilary's POV~
Few hours ago, I was so excited to meet them; the moment I got to know that they are in the city, I canceled my project's date today, sorted the dead bodies quickly at college and got freshened quickly to see them. Ryan dropped me here and I was a little upset that I missed their matches.
And now I'm, in the cruel hands of my close friend taking me somewhere where he'll be perhaps doing the unimaginable things to me. My fury is in all it's might. I'm crushing his calloused hands with my nails and he's giving me the grip harder.
He unlocks the door on the floor and kicks it and pushes me harshly inside and with one powerful kick, closes it back.
He glares at me evilly, and my face is doing the same, contains no fear at all.
I'm giving him the murderous looks of disgust just like I was giving before.
I came here to see him, saw him strangling a girl, tries to calm him down and this is what I've walked into.
I somehow wanted to skip this situation. I can't call Ryan. He will kill Tyson or will Tyson kill him first.
"So what were you saying some minutes before, Hilary? Huh, you seriously think you can do what you said?" Tyson mocked me cruelly. My hand is aching but is freed now. I'm wearing full jeans and a short sleeve loose top.
I don't look at him but contain that dangerous angry look still,
"Let's fuck me then," He laughed.
With one powerful stride, he pinned me to the small bed and lied on top of me, his knee thrusting on my crotch lousily.
I gulped down, nauseating inside. I still didn't show any signs of weakness.
A few moments ago I was so excited to meet him and now I'm gonna be raped by him.
He pinned my arms by his powerful hands and kept a distance between our faces.
"So what happened to your shouting? Where is it gone?" he sneered. I showed no resistance against him and looked aside, not meeting his eyes,
"Are you okay?" he asked evilly.
I almost let out a shuddered sob at his words. Tyson wasn't himself. This isn't his usual self. I'm not fighting back because he will go insane and I want to save him, neither I've the physical dominance to oppose him.
He neared me and I started silently sobbing rising tears from my eyes, my face expressionless.
"Huh," he gasped, loosening his grip on my arms and stared at me confused, "What am I doing?" he shook in fear as he immediately moved back from me.
"What was I doing?" he was panting and held tight his own shoulders in fear. He was panicking and breathing heavily, moving away from me when I rose from the bed.
"I forced upon you. Didn't I?" he asked in bewildering,
"Yeah, but you're okay now," I said softly, my body limp suddenly.
"You should stay away from me! I'm dangerous!" he yelped hysterically. He looked dismayed and perplexed, "Why didn't you stop me!"
"You were too strong," I said looking,
"Lie!"
"Yeah, the truth is you were not yourself and you got your past in your head that moment," I told him little angrily, "To get you out of it, I didn't fight back. You are fine now!" I explained with an extreme frown, "It is better to be raped by you if that doesn't drive you insane and saves you." I smiled sadly.
"Hilary, I'm sorry, I don't know why I did that-" he stuttered and clung his hair.
"Stop it, I know it's all because of that girl," I assured him unknowingly, "C'mon, let's go. Your team has won the match," I skillfully smiled.
"Thanks..." he was doubtful, "I don't know what punishment I deserve-"
I instantly hugged him and shushed him, "You are currently not well, just be cool from next time, that's all you need to get my forgiveness," I said softly.
He nodded.
"But remember, next time, I'll call Ryan if you do anything," I laughed. He laughed too.
"Hey, I wanted to meet him. I've heard a lot about him in these years, will you bring him? " He asked with light heart.
"Yeah, he's such a bright student, we always are one above the other in the list, that's why we go well," I said very lively about Ryan. The thought of him brought unblemished joys in me.
"Oh, do you have a thing for the guy? " Tyson nudged me on the shoulder playfully,
"Why should I tell you?" I huffed,
"Come on, I deserve to know. You know all about me," he said.
"Well..." I flustered a little, "Yeah, kinda. We didn't talk till we were in the same class even in the second year and quickly met a lot for Practicals and projects. Helping with notes became a habit and we shared lunches sometimes. He cares about me and a few seniors actually received a beating from him for ragging me occasionally," I said with a smile on my face,
"Wow, the guy is real smooth, Hil," he said vibrantly,
"Yeah, our friendship built better through the years. I've been building through the years,"
I heard my own mind him saying 'and I've been breaking through the years,'
I looked at him and he was listening to me, "Well, enough with Ryan. I'm a whole lot busy these days and Chief said me that you will be leaving by tonight. "
"Yeah, that's right."
"I'll give Ryan a call to pick me at night before you leave. You can meet him then," I winked.
He nodded.
...
The rest of day went undisturbed. Emma came to their cabin to apologize the behavior of her cousin. Tyson nodded and left. Emma was glad that he at least didn't go mad once more. Max and Kenny were happy to meet Hilary. Kenny and Hilary exchanged lot of talks. Hilary told all about her medical studies going well, avoiding Ryan in their conversation. Kai brought some pizzas for her arrival. She thanked him. Kenny showed Hilary all the battles and told about the upgradation on their blades.
Max and Hillary later went to headphones store to get some new CDs. The duo exchanged songs and danced a little cheerily.
"Dr. Hilary is a good dancer as well," Ray joked.
"Really, I'm not Doc, yet" she smiled.
It was almost eight when she decided to call Ryan. She went in balcony for some privacy.
"Hey, can you pick me now?" she asked,
'Sure, where are you, Hils? '
"I'm at G-Rev's cabin. I want to meet one of close friends here. He is too good, " Hilary chuckled,
'Who is he?'
"The world champ, dude?"
'Wow! I'm coming up, Hils! We'll go for an ice cream with him as well, '
"Alright, you better hurry up because he's leaving to Canada tonight at ten, " Hilary said urgently,
'Okay, I'll be there! Bye.'
Hilary kept her phone and smiled, "He cares so much..." Hilary said softly to herself. She stretched her hands, she saw Kai beside her.
"Oh," she almost got scared, "When did you come, Kai?"
"Just now," he said a little softly,
"Oh, okay. The sky is beautiful. isn't it?" she said dreamily,
"Who's Ryan, Hilary?" Kai asked. She looked at him thoughtfully for once.

I hope this chapter was interesting and by now, there must be certain guesses and predictions about the plotline and about probably the pairings as well. I'm sorry if this was little dark but it had to be there. I already mentioned that in the Prologue.
Thanks for taking your time and reading. ^_^ Review. :D
