Stolen Youth
Thank you to Black Zodiac and Smiffyizdabest for reviewing! So totally! Onward!
I DON'T OWN BEYBLADE!
"Tell us about Boris." A short yet lean police officer asked. He was behind the bars and in front of the glass. His sandy hair was cut military style and his brown eyes stared right at Kali. The red haired girl didn't move, she didn't even flinch. She kept her stone grey eyes trained on the white walls, somehow entertaining herself.
"Please?" A barely visible smirk was grew on her face. Poor cop. He had resorted to begging.
Kali stood up before crossing over to lean on the bars. Her face was only inches from his. "Will I get out sooner, Officer Samuel?" She purred while pushing herself closer. Her nose was only centimeters away from his own, breath ghosting over his face. He gulped before backing away, a blush very evident on his.
Damn. I've chased him off…again. Kali thought as she retreated back to her seat as the cop all but ran out the glass doors. The diary was the only interesting thing in the room. The blue leather was calling out to her, so she listened. There wasn't anything else to do, anyway.
Dear Diary,
Hello, again. I want to tell you about my life. Will you listen to a poor girl's memories? I hope, or then all hope shall be lost. Important note, when it comes to my family, I have very good memory. Here we go.
I was sitting with my team in the large meeting room. All the girls were in the underground room. Boris stood on the stage with guards blocking all of the exits. Every single eye was trained on the older man.
"Kali, bring up Team One." He told me. I did exactly what he wanted, and I brought up the weakest team. From there, he had them kneel in front of him as I stood to the side. My eyes caught the glint of something in his hand, but I couldn't see from where I was. I looked right at Brie, and she nodded. Her eyes darted about until she found one of the many mirrors and jerked her head that way. My eyes glanced up and I froze when I saw the gun.
Master knew I knew, and all he did was smile before pulling the killing device out fully and blasting a hole in each of the member's heads. Blood splattered everywhere, but really coated me, making it look like some of my hair had fallen out.
And the torment continued. Each team was brought up, forced to kneel, and then killed. It wasn't long before I was fully covered in blood and only my team was left. We all moved forward and kneeled in front of Master. When we'd joined, we had pledged our allegiance to him. Whatever he wanted to do to us, we would let him.
At his feet, I had bowed my head. I didn't want to look into the goggles he wore. But, he lifted my chin so I was forced to watch him. I could feel Anjela and Jennie tense up as Master wiped the blood on my face away with his thumb. If I close my eyes, I can still the warmth his hand gave me.
"I was forced to kill all of them. I must kill you four, but you are my favorites. So I command you to run and to win tournaments so I can find you when you are needed. Kali, I trust you to keep them safe."
I nodded. "They shall be safe, Master. We shall run away and never return until needed." I whispered while getting to my feet. The others followed suit before we walked over to an escape hatch. As we jumped down into the dark tunnel, I realized that we had nothing but the clothes on our back and the beyblades in our pockets.
When we were forced into darkness, we traveled in silence, letting the sound from above guide us. The earth was damp and smelt like rain, but it felt like home. After running after sound for what seemed like hours, I had to carry Jennie because she tripped and hurt her ankle. Anjela soon had to be carried by Brie since she was no older than five at the time.
The sound left us, making us travel in the dark as blind as bats. It took us two days to make it out. We had no food, water, clothing, money. Nothing. All we had were each other and our mission to complete. Somehow, we had to compete, win, and move on. No sponsors, no transportation. We had to make it on our own, and that confused the younger ones. Brie understood because she was trained to take over leadership if I weren't fit to lead.
Since Russia was close to Germany, and the next tournament was there, that was the we began to he--
She dropped her pencil and slammed the book shut as the glass doors began to open. It was the boss, the head honcho, the big cheese. And the only reason he would come down was if it was important. Really important. There wasn't any reason for him to leave that big, comfy chair of his to visit a bunch lunatics.
"Miss Kali, you better be on your best behavior tomorrow. If you do as the police say, you'll be able to see your friends." The large, pudgy man said, hiding behind mounds of fat that he claimed was his face.
Kali rose her hands in surrender. "You got me…" She whispered out loud while smiling on the inside. There was a reason she was able to survive with three other kids to take care of while traveling on foot. She was the Master of Deception. Queen of Tricks. They could punish her any way possible, but she would die before saying anything bad about Boris.
Ready your fists, for I'm about to run. Lift your guns cause I'm gonna fight to the death. You'll never catch me. Not until I catch that bullet as I sprint to that fence. Not until the fat man screams. And trust me, you'll be screaming.
