Last time on A Dark Past, A Hopeful Present...
"Good Morning everyone" Mr. Dickenson said with a smile. "I have called you all here to say that there have been some problems" he said,
"The tournament has been postponed, but-" he silenced the teams who began to talk
"...but we all decided that a sort of vacation would be beneficial,
You all will be going on a trip...
To be more specific,
A camping trip..."

A Dark Past, A Hopeful Present
Chapter 10 – This just keeps getting better...
"99 trophies of mine on the wall, 99 trophies of mine, you take one down and pass it around, 98 trophies of mine of the wall..." Tyson sang off key.
5 minutes later
"67 trophies of mine on the wall, 67 trophies of mine, you take one down and pass it around, 66 trophies of-"he continued until he was interrupted by a certain dangerous female team mate, who was pulling his ear.
"Oww, let go that hurts!" Tyson whined
"Its hot, we are on a bus in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE if you don't stop with that so-called-song then I will give your ears the same pain that mine have endured for the past 5 minutes, got it, good." Amber said coldly before dropping Tyson and returning to her seat at the back of the bus.
Amber's P.O.V
'Uncle D is sure asking for it, sending me on a trip with these people, I met all the teams while I was travelling but...1 week camping with them...I mean come on! Tyson's little show was like a preview of what is to come... and I'm not liking it, I still have a headache from the meeting...'
Flashback
Normal P.O.V
"...but we all decided that a sort of vacation would be beneficial, You all will be going on a trip... To be more specific, A camping trip..."
"HA! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE SHITTEN ME" Amber yelled while jumping out of her seat.
The teams looked at the angered girl and some were quite shocked at her vocabulary in front of Mr. Dickenson.
"No Amber, I am not, ahem… joking, the board and I think it is a good idea, it is a great opportunity to get to know one another as friends and not as enemies while beyblading." Mr. Dickinson said with a frown on his face.
"How long" Amber demanded
"1 week" he replied still not satisfied with her behaviour
"1 WEEK" she bellowed.
"What is the camp called?" Rei interrupted before Amber could continue to yell. "Oh, yes, well the camp is called Long River Crescent, and is located a bit farther from the Niagra Falls" Mr. Dickenson replied somewhat grateful for the interruption.
"What do we need to bring?" Lee asked
"All you'll need are clothes and some essentials like shampoo and so on and so forth" Mr. Dickenson said
"Mr. Dickenson?" Johnny asked
"Yes" Mr. Dickenson replied
"I have a favour to ask, can I see you afterwards?" Johnny said
"Of course" Mr. Dickenson said with a smile on his face
"Well, that is all for now, if you will go to my secretary she will hand you a brochure that has all the information you need, such as the time of your departure and where you are supposed to go, Good day" Mr. Dickenson said while gesturing them to go,
"Oh and Amber I would like to speak to you after I am done talking to Mr. McGregor" Mr. Dickenson said while arranging his papers.
Amber exited his office with the rest of the teams and proceeded to sit on a chair that was outside his office, she watched as the teams got a brochure and left except for her team which was waiting for her.
"I don't know how long I'm going to be here, so you might as well go upstairs" Amber replied somewhat moody.
"Were going to the gym to train, don't take too long, you need all the training you can get..." Kai said while walking out the door followed by his team that were a bit hesitant to leave Amber, although didn't want to be around her knowing that Kai's comment would have left her in a foul mood…well in a fouler mood.
"Whatever you fu-"Amber started but was interrupted by Johnny who had come out of the office.
"DeCosta" Johnny greeted while passing by her,
"McGregor" Amber replied while heading to the office.
She entered the office and saw that her uncle was sitting down reading some documents.
"I don't understand why I have to go to this little 'excursion' of yours" Amber replied hotly as she took a seat on the other side of the large table.
"Why wouldn't you want to go?" Mr. Dickenson questioned without looking up from his papers.
"I have my reasons…" Amber said
"…Amber I think of you as one of my own children…secrecy won't get you very far… but I respect your privacy, the reason I called you here is to ask a favour, in which I hope that you will do..." Mr. Dickenson said looking into his nieces eyes
"…Yes sir" Amber said looking at her Uncle.
"You have been to this camping site before…and I'm sure you know where this is going. I want you to watch out for all the teams, you are responsible and I trust you with this task. You know the camping site better then they do, I also trust that you will try to co-operate and keep them from harms way." Mr. Dickenson said in a professional tone.
"..Yes sir" Amber said while walking out of the door
"Oh and Amber, Mr. Jurgen and Mr. McGregor's sisters will be attending as well" Mr. Dickenson said. (a/n: Mr. Jurgen is Robert's last name)
"WHAT!" she yelled...
End of Flashback
Amber's P.O.V
'I'M the one who has to keep an eye on them; I'M the one who has to waste my so-called-VACATION on …them…sigh…'
'The people that I really hate are that traitors team the CaptusX bladers (a/n: the other team that is also competing, they will be described later on) and Rose Jurgen and Brinna Mcgregor, Robert and Johnny's sisters…those two…are like a nightmare…the squeals, the girly talks, the girly giggles…it disgusts me…at least being all the way in the back of the bus has its advantages…'
'It is 8:00 in the morning and we are almost there…the trip is supposed to take 2 hours and a 1/2, half an hour has already passed by so we should be there in about 2 hours…and I'm really tired since my team had to wake up at 5:30am just so we could get everything prepared...well mostly waking up Tyson which took awhile…at least I didn't break a door this time…'
I reached into my carry-on bag and got my MP3 player…'I haven't listened to it in a while, I wonder what songs I have'… I closed my eyes as the song played and couldn't stop the memory's that flashed of the person only a couple of seats away…
Flashbacks (during the song---the song is in bold)
Chorus:
Crawling
in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I
fall
Confusing what is real
There's something inside me that
pulls beneath the surface
Consuming/confusing
This lack of
self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling/I can't seem
The day before her birthday (a/n: this is a continuation of her flashback from chapter 4, I'll put a bit of it in case you don't remember
Amber walked into the kitchen and put down the groceries "Mãe, I'm home" she called out "Pai , Mãe!" she went into the living room and froze at what she saw "Jasmine!" Amber scolded her cat who was scratching the sofas in the living room.
"Your going to get me in trouble by Mama and Papa...again" Amber said while picking up her cat and putting her in her large cage that was outside.
Amber then went to the living room and saw a note on the table beside the sofa the letter read:
"Hi honey,
Mama and Papa went to get some items from the store, be careful
Love XOXO"
"I wonder why they didn't tell me to get it since I was out" Amber questioned herself out loud
She went to her room and looked at her desk...something was there...she walked up to the desk and picked up the item it was a beyblade... When she picked it up she saw a slip of paper on the desk that was under the blade it read:
XOXO Happy Birthday XOXO
From: Mark
"But my birthday isn't until tomorrow" she told herself out loud.
"Tomorrow... I'm going to teach you how to use it" A voice said from the door.
End of THIS flashback
Bridge:
To
find myself again
My walls are closing in
(without a sense of
confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to
take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure
Another Flashback—A week after receiving her first beyblade
"Amber hurry up" Mark called from his spot beside the tree.
"—I've been----running for 30 minutes without a break---and you've been there the whole time---" Amber said in between breathes
"That's because I'm teaching YOU, so I don't have to do it" Mark said
"AMBER, MARK" A voice shouted from a home
"YES MAMA" both replied
"DINNER IS ON THE TABLE" the voice shouted again
"WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE" Amber yelled
"Come on slow poke" Mark said running towards there house.
At the dinner table
"How's the training going dear" the mom asked,
"Well she will have to be faster if she wants to be any good, by what I saw so far she kind of sucks." Mark said.
"Mark be nice to your sister" their dad said while taking a piece of bread.
End of THIS flashback
Chorus
Discomfort,
endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting/reacting
Against
my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't
seem...
Amber is 7-years-old)
"Isn't it nice knowing that your own brother traded everything for power" A man asked while looking down upon his victim who sat on the floor looking down.
"You are now a property of the Vitiosus, thanks to your...brother" The man laughed.
The girl shivered hearing his cold laughter echo throughout the small room of the...prison.
Her last thought before her "punishment" was why her brother betrayed her family...and her...

Crawling in

These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I

Confusing what is real

(Normal P.O.V)
As the song ended Amber just looked outside trying to forget the memories about her brother. She closed her eyes falling into a troubled sleep, not noticing those same haunting aqua eyed boy looking at her from his seat...
