Last time on A Dark Past, A Hopeful Present...
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...
A Dark Past, A Hopeful Present
Chapter 16 – Paparazzi & Surprise visits?
Normal P.O.V)
"Okay...a bit more to the right please..."
"Who?"
"The young man with the cap...Tyson?"
"Okay"
"Perfect!"
"Umm...Kai?...yes well can you smile...at least?
"Hn"
"Ok...Great, you guys are naturals, I will give you a ten minute break and then I just need a couple more shots"
The blade breakers were now dealing with a photo shoot which was going pretty good, except for Tyson who accidentally knocked down a couple of camera's on his way in...
(Amber's P.O.V)
'This is such a waste of time' I thought as I grabbed my hair in an irritated fashion. I walked away to the "snack" table and got myself a cup of coffee, I sighed in relief '... caffeine...' I praised silently...I quickly glanced at my team and noticed them laughing at something, except for Kai...that guy is a block...it must have been something Tyson said...I found myself look at them longingly...'I want to be happy...I wish I was able to be carefree'...I thought wearily.
Ever since that night, I have been seeing more memories...none of which were pleasant...they all showed my pain... the torture I went through both physically and mentally...
I turned around quickly and gripped my coffee cup harder, slamming it down on the table gently spilling some of the contents. 'I can't put myself down' I thought angrily, 'I won't let it get to me again'.
I felt a warm presence in my head, she offered comfort but I ignored her...I haven't spoken to Kryptonite since that nigh-
Flashback
"You're pitiful" a man seethed as he pushed a young girl to the ground kicking her when she made contact with the floor. The girl immediately curled up waiting for more blows to her stomach, but they never came...
The girl hesitantly opened her scrunched up eyes and saw her older brother in front of her in a crouching position. "Mark..." she whispered hoping that he would go back to the way he was.
The said boy simply grabbed a fistful of hair and brought her so that his mouth hovered over her ear, seconds passed by slowly, it felt like eternity before she got a response of some sort... "Your weak" he hissed as he pushed her back to the ground.
Her eyes widened as her brother spoke those words with such hate...she curled up again and remained on the cold cement floor wondering what she could have possibly done to deserve this...
End of Flashback
I jolted back to reality and shook my head at the memory. I sighed and drank my coffee, calmly walking back to my team. I nodded my head in greeting, as my thoughts wandered to the upcoming interview...
"Okay I'm just going to warn you a bit about them. There main goal is to get a story...a hot story, so if they dig up something they will dig deep. So think before you say something, you wouldn't want a ridiculous story being made on something that you accidentally slipped out...I've been to many of these "interviews" I know how they act..." one of the male stylists said to the blade breakers who were about to enter the room where the conference was going to be held.
The blade breakers nodded, most wanting to get it over with. They made there way to the table once they heard there cue.
(Amber's P.O.V)
I trailed behind Max, as applause rang throughout the room. I sat at my seat, which was between Rei and Max, with a fake smile plastered on my face. 'As if I would go to an interview willingly', I thought while rolling my eyes.
I looked around and saw interviewer's get there recorders, pens and papers, to avoid rolling my eyes and saying anything that would get me in trouble I grabbed the pitcher filled with water, that was left on the table, and poured myself a glass.
I felt a feeling of relief as the first question was aimed toward Tyson, although I knew that I would be asked a lot of questions since I was new to the team. I felt somewhat reassured as I saw the other teams in the crowd, except for my brother's team...they were never anywhere...suspicions began to arise, but I soon shook them off as I saw a familiar person...I suddenly froze, in the crowd was a muscular average sized man, with brown hair and bright green eyes, wearing a Vitiosus vest...Markov...Captain Markov..., he was wearing one of those smirks I grew up to hate. I clenched my fists under the table, as I felt my lungs lose all the air inside of them. What was he doing here? What was he up to?
I suddenly felt someone kick my foot, I looked to my right and saw Rei gesture towards the crowd with an exasperated look.
"Oh, sorry...I was just a bit nervous, can you repeat the question?" I said, with another one of those 'smiles'.
"Where were you born again?" the interviewer asked, I didn't bother looking for them in the crowd, knowing it would take a while.
"I was born in Portugal" I said briefly not wanting to give any details of my life. I looked around and saw an arm rise; I looked toward that person and saw that it was Markov. I nodded my head toward his direction as my shoulder's tensed. Was he doing this to make me feel insecure? Was he going to try and make me look bad in front of the press?
"This question is for Amber...I heard from some, that...you used to be on another team, if it's true, what was the team's name?" He asked. I involuntarily shivered as I heard his voice...It's been so long...'but not long enough' I thought darkly... My mind then went to the question, and I somewhat panicked in my head.
My team doesn't know anything of my past! Was he trying to make me reveal it? What am I supposed to do? I could have dealt with a simple interview...but I don't want to deal with the person who tortured me and made my brother betray our family! No use saying a lie...he might do something...I know Markov very well...he's not the type to let things fly...
"...Yes, I was apart of CaptusX" I said in what sounded like a confident voice. I saw that some of my team were shifting in there seats. Great... I had a feeling that I wouldn't get away with avoiding tonight.
I looked around and saw more and more hands raise...'perfect...I won't be getting out of here anytime soon, either' I thought bitterly as I gestured towards a woman at the front, my gaze then fell towards where Markov was seating...well where he was sitting...'that bastard' I silently cursed.
"Are you related to anyone on that team, I talked with that team earlier and they said that they had a sibling in the competition...on this team" she asked.
I started breathing deeper...my secrets were being revealed to my team...I didn't want them to find out this way...I suddenly thought about my brother's team and Markov's sudden appearance...'I've been set up' I thought bitterly.
"Yes, I am Mark's sibling" I answered.
Once again more hands began to rise. 'This is getting to complicated for my taste' I thought before I began to rise from my seat, the people stopped rising there hands, and resulted to shouting out the questions, I bent toward the microphone on the table, "I'm not feeling very well, thank you for your time" I said into it as I left, my team quickly following me.
As soon as I was out of view from the camera's I began to run...run from my team...run from the questions...I heard them yell my name, as I pushed my legs further.
I continued running, letting my legs take me, to my destination...and saw that I was heading towards the hotel. I briefly looked behind me, and saw my team coming up behind me fast, 'Oh crap'...I ran faster and pushed the elevator button waiting for it to arrive 'come on' I thought as I noticed it was taking to long, in a way I was glad that I finally got to catch my breathe...but I didn't want to face my team...I felt as if I betrayed them when I didn't just tell them my past...But why does it matter? What difference will it make?
/ They are your team...your friends...they deserve to know since it does affect your relationship with them...Vitiosus is not an organization to be taken lightly...and I warn you...that something will happen.../ Kryptonite said, somewhat hesitantly.
/Like what? Why don't you ever tell me these things, why are you always keeping secrets! You think it helps me but it doesn't/ I yelled at her.
/Mistress must understand! I have tried many times, but you have been ignoring me! You already know that Vitiosus is after you...Your parents were killed for a reason. They were scientists at that Lab in Vitiosus Amber! A long time ago they accidentally invented something...a bitbeast...a clone of two bitbeasts...your brother carries that clone.../ Kryptonite responded.
/...I've known you practically my whole life...once again...why didn't you tell me before/ I asked.
/ You weren't ready...your not even ready now...but as I said something will happen.../she responded. I wanted to ask her more questions but the connection was broken.
The elevator door opened and I stepped in, my thoughts roaming around my bitbeasts words.
I pressed the button for the 16th floor and leaned against one of the corners, momentarily forgetting about my team.
I heard others enter the elevator but I ignored them as I continued to look down. I suddenly felt the elevator stop with a jolt. I looked up and saw my team looking at me, all of them had different expressions...some with confusion, anger, and uncertainty.
"No more lies" Rei spoke out after a moment of silence. "No more lies" I responded wanting to just get it over with.
To Be Continued...
Here's another update...hope you liked it, I personally think I could have done better...But I wanted to put another one up for you guys. Now things are starting to go deeper then before...you will know more about the death of her parents... since it does play a pretty important role, and yes she was a part of CaptusX back then when she was still in Vitiosus, since they also called themselves that, at that time.
