Last time on A Dark Past, A Hopeful Present...
The car had finally reached us; Mandy, the girl from the front desk got out and stopped in her tracks. "Josh" I heard her yell before coming to inspect his wounds.
"What happened to him" I heard her say in an angry tone.
"We found him in the clearing close to the West side of the park." I said
"What-"she began but I interrupted her, saying that we should take him back to bandage his wounds, she nodded her head and helped us load his body into the car.
Kai took his seat beside me as Josh occupied the other row. I glanced at Kai, his face was unreadable. 'What are you thinking about… ?' I asked myself silently before looked toward Josh.
A Dark Past, A Hopeful Present
Chapter 15 – Thoughts of the past...
A little girl suddenly woke up to a loud banging noise. She sat up causing her large shirt to rise slowly, she pulled it down quickly and lifted the covers shivering when her warm skin came in contact with the chilly air surrounding the room, her feet touching the floor hesitantly as they searched for her slippers. She jumped slightly when she heard the loud noise again.
She got up silently, moving a bit so that her feet could slide comfortably in her slippers. She continued walking to her destination the moon being her source for light. She smiled slightly when her hand came in contact with the door knob, twisting it and pulling it slowly, she hesitated and scrunched her face in annoyance when an irritating creaking noise emitted from her door. She quickly swung the rest of the door open hoping that it wouldn't make as much noise.
She walked down the carpeted hallways silently avoiding any of the trophy cases that littered the hall... A gust of wind blew towards her causing her attention to focus on the direction the wind came from. She clutched her 'pajamas' closer to her trying to savor the rest her warmth.
She turned in the hall and her gaze fell towards the balcony at the end of the hall. The white curtains danced gracefully as the wind blew threw them gently before gusts of wind came in.
The girl continued to walk closer to the balcony wondering why the window was opened, the guards always closed it before the 'lights out' call...A suspicious feeling began to surface. She looked around and saw that all the doors were closed...except one which was left slightly ajar...it was her friends room, the guards had taken her that morning and she didn't show up at dinner, when she asked about her friend the guards simply silenced her and threatened to hurt her if she began to get nosey.
Amber shook her head and quickly but silently finished her walk to the balcony, the curtains enrolling themselves around her as she walked past them cautiously. "Lydia!" Amber exclaimed as she closed the gap between them. She pulled back from the hug when she noticed that Lydia didn't respond.
"Lyd? What's wrong?" Amber asked innocently, wondering why her friend wasn't responding. Lydia looked up, her eyes hollow holding no emotion. "You shouldn't be here, we have to go with Captain Markov to the Hiwatari's Abbey in the morning" Lydia said sharply.
Amber was shocked wondering about her friend's reaction...They were brought here with Lydia's brothers after the murder of Amber's family. Vitiosus captured Lydia and her brother since they unfortunately stumbled upon the murder scene at the wrong time .
Vitiosus was very similar to the abbey that Voltaire Hiwatari owned. The building had four floors one for the boys dormitory's, another floor for the girls, and the top floor for the employees of the building. The main floor was used for the dinning hall and the training areas were located underground.
Every once in a while Markov would bring some of his students and go over to the Abbey and have a battle with some of Boris's students, to see which of the abbeys had the best students.
Ever since they were brought there they promised they would stick together and not succumb to Vitiosus's evil ways...Amber began to think of that promise they made, and wondered whether her friend was giving in...
"Why are you still here" Lydia said coldly as she glared at Amber. Amber just shook it off. "You're not supposed to be here either!" Amber bit back angrily. The two friends glared at each other, but were interrupted by a loud bang.
Amber averted her attention to the window which had been causing all the noise, she walked up to it and secured it so that they wouldn't get caught if the guards decided to come upstairs. She turned back only to see her friend retreating to her room. "Wait!" Amber called out. Lydia stopped in front of her room but did not turn around.
"What happened...What have they done to you!" Amber said as tears began to build up in her eyes. "I was faced with reality..." Lydia said quietly before entering her room.
Amber continued gaze at her friends door, as her tears began to fall . She walked back to her room and sat on her bed reflecting on the things that have happened...She lied down her tears soaking the pillow. 'They got her too...' was her last thought before she drifted into a restless sleep filled with memories of her friends and family before the tragedy.
End of Flashback
Amber woke up with a sudden jolt. She looked around and noticed that she was in the hotel. It had been a week since Josh's incident, he had been in the nurse's office for a couple of days, and unfortunately he couldn't remember what had happened that day except for him leaving the cafeteria area.
They had left the camping site two days ago to come to the same hotel again. They left the camping site in somewhat of a sullen mood. All were well aware of the incident that had happened and many suspicious thoughts had flown in their heads. Many were tempted to question if it was really an 'accident'.
Other tenants had also found out about the incident. The teams were somewhat looked down upon by the others in the camp, crazy rumors about reckless bladers seeped through making some of the bladers feel uncomfortable.
Coming to the hotel was a relief for some; others didn't care as long as they had a place to practice...
Amber's team had become more suspicious, and it was getting harder for Amber to avoid the questions...Kai was more...angry...he would be more stricter on his team when it came to practice, always picking on Amber more then Tyson which shocked a couple of member's of the team. Amber rubbed her eyes and glanced to her right...yes Kai was there, unfortunately for her, he was her roommate once more.
She shifted quietly and looked to the clock it read 5:00 o'clock in the morning and Kai would be getting up soon for the teams regular training.
(Amber's P.O.V )
My thoughts went back to the dream I just had...that girl from the campsite was my childhood friend...After that night on the balcony they had taken me in...My memories had been altered...but why am I remembering them now...
/I believe that is my fault mistress.../ Kryptonite said in a serious tone. I shifted again as I felt my bit beast's presence in my head.
/What do you mean/ I asked her somewhat confused as to what she was saying.
/Mistress...since we are connected... I am also able to see your memories...I have been trying my hardest to push away altered memories and bring back your old ones...I have kept them hidden and I thought you needed to see this one to confirm your perception of your friend...I am sorry.../ Kryptonite said guiltily.
I paused taking in the information she had just given me. I quickly closed the connection between us, not really wanting to hear more, and got up preparing my things for a needed shower. It was still dark since the sun had not risen yet, but I found my way around. I picked my usual sweater and a pair of jeans along with my undergarments.
I walked into the plain beige washroom and placed my clothing on the counter ignoring my bit beast who still insisted on talking to me. I got my towel, and turned on the shower waiting for the water to warm up.
I sighed as I slowly walked over to the mirror and looked at my reflection...I focused on my eyes...the so-called 'windows to my soul'...sadness poured from them, they screamed for freedom...freedom of my broken heart, which had been constantly stepped on...Steam started to fog the mirrors and I shook my head of my thoughts.
I took of my clothes and carelessly threw them not really caring where they landed; I stepped in the shower and relaxed my shoulders. I sighed as I felt the warm water hit my back...I closed my eyes and for the first time in many years I allowed myself to cry...
