Chapter Six

*Normal P.O.V*

"Excellent, we're making progress, soon our plan will unfold" Boris sneered, cackling a laugh.

Tala along with Spencer, Bryan and Ian recalled their blades after their practice. The Russian tournament was nearing and their battle against the Bladebreakers was just around the corner. Having constructed a thorough plan to gain hold of an advantage, Boris seemed more than confident. First of all, they had been set up with a match against two more teams, the White Tigers and the All Starz.

"I want nothing to go wrong, is that understood?"

"Yes sir" the 4 boys complied.

They watched their boss walk off with an evil smirk planted on his lips.
Tala narrowed his eyes. He knew full well as the rest of the Demolition Boys of Boris' latest plan and intentions. Now that those Bladebreakers were nearly here in Russia it was one step closer to drawing Kai into the Abbey.
The very thought made Tala's blood boil with anger. He was the captain of the Demolition Boys. He was the strongest blader of them all, what was Boris' sudden need to recruit Kai into their team? It aggravated him. Still, he would prove to Boris he was the strongest blader. Leaving his team mates in silence he walked through the dark corridors, coming upon the Level 5 trainee group in one of the training facilities. Pitiful losers. They were nothing compared to him. Then, his cold aqua eyes caught the familiar pink hair.

Not far down the facility was that new doctor, Juliette. She had the habit to follow him around unexpected, claiming to be concerned. He didn't believe it. His mind and body agreed. Though she seemed to show no emotion he knew she was nothing like he- the cold demon he was. Her very appearance annoyed him. The act she put on was enough to make him want to hurt her though he tried his best to control his rage. As she, being the daughter of Tamaki Sakurai he did well to avoid any interaction with the girl. Boris would not be pleased.

He watched as she tended to, who he recognized as Kyle. What was strange was the look on Kyle's face, filled with conviction. He could see the gentle touch and awareness of her as she cleaned at his lash wounds. Why did she volunteer to work here? What was the need? Her actions earlier with pressuring him to taking the pain killers was enough to project his rage, but the simple act of her showing her innocence was enough to astonish him. He hadn't expected her to take a pill even though he knew full well she was not in any slight of pain and she still took the tablet. As much as he protested against taking the medicine, he still took them after she had left. The dressing was still around his arm as he remembered the night she re-dressed his bandages. The memory of his cold ice skin touching her bare thighs made him quiver. It was like touching a flame after a long enthrallment in ice. He didn't know why he let her help him but her words did strike a nerve.

If he were to battle with full power he needed his strength. He refused to show the spikes of pain he felt from the wound left by Bryan's Falborg. No wound would stop him achieving what he wanted. He would prove that he wasn't weak. But this girl, she was confusing him, and he didn't like it. She was not to be trusted. No girl like her would even think to enter the abbey with the intentions of being a trusted doctor. From the look of things she was only what, 17? 18? And only a doctor in training. He wasn't going to fall for her act and she better stay out of his way.

It was then he noticed the bandages around her hands. What could she have possibly done to her hands? What did he care anyway? He gripped the railings before pushing himself off and walked away.
On his journey to the common room he stumbled across a shadow in the corridors.

"Bryan."

The gray haired falcon wielder walked into view not breathing a word. He gave a nod at his captain as they both continued their way to the common room in silence. Tala gripped Wolborg in his hand, narrowing his eyes. Boris made sure to upgrade his blade to its fullest potential so there was no reason to not win at the championships. He was broken out of his thoughts from the sound of Bryan's voice.

"That new doctor..."

Tala showed no interest. What could possibly be so interesting? Besides, she was none of his concern. He continued staring at his blade while standing facing the fireplace that was lit. Bryan stood crossed armed and eyes closed against the wall across the fireplace, in clear view of his captain. When he got no reply he opened his eyes.

"She's gained their trust, Tala."

Tala's eyes looked up from his blade and narrowed coldly at the fire.
That was why Kyle had that expression on his face.

"From what I heard, she put herself forward in taking the blame when Boris caught them in the mini training room after hours last night" Bryan continued, carefully watching his captain.

Tala grunted. A mere act, that's what she was putting on. The others were stupid to fall for her tricks.

"She's different you know."

That made Tala switch over as he gripped his blade tightly before putting Wolborg away in his pocket.

"Don't be so weak Bryan. The others may be stupid enough to trust her but we aren't so helpless" he remarked back.

"Is that why, since the time she has been here, there hasn't been even one case of mistreatment?"

Tala didn't reply. Maybe not now, he thought. He liked to believe sooner or later, her true colors would show and then it won't be he that get's the blame.

"There's something else" Bryan commented.

Tala closed his eyes facing down; he held no further interest in their doctor's acts.

"Juan speaks to her."

He was not expecting that. Tala jerked his head up and snapped open his eyes, gradually turning his head to see the silver eyes giving him assurance that he was speaking the truth.

"When I was at the infirmary, he had no knowledge of me being there at first. Openly, he spoke to her, till he saw me that is."

Tala narrowed his eyes. That tugged a few strings. Juan, the younger brother of Cole Akiyama. Ever since Juan had joined the abbey when he was 8, he hadn't breathed a single word to anyone. Cole had even mentioned that he hardly said more than 3 words to him, his own brother. What made the boy speak so openly to that girl? He almost growled.

"Her being here holds no importance to me. Whether she is a genuine doctor or not makes no difference. What Juan does is none of my concern either."

Bryan stayed silent. Not having a reply for the statement. He knew his captain well, though he hadn't realized that perhaps some good will become from the girl. Perhaps this was what the cold hearted bladers needed. Hope.

"People like her are easily uncovered."

Bryan closed his eyes. "Are you going to prove that theory?"

Silence. The sound of the common room door closing was the answer he received. He knew himself that he himself had begun to trust the emerald eyed girl. Involuntarily he touched his arm where now a healing scar was embedded.

Juliette was dismissed after the second training session that afternoon. She felt better being there knowing now that most of the guys had warmed up to her. Although they sometimes didn't speak nor show any emotion she was happy to tend to them anyway, she hadn't been attacked or any of the sort so that was good enough. As she packed her briefcase to leave the empty training room, a hand tugged at her jacket. She twirled round to come face to face with the familiar amber eyes and caramel hair.

"Juan" she greeted with a soft voice.

He looked up, a slight melancholy to his eyes which made Juliette worry in an instance. Her hands cupped his face.

"Dou shita no Juan? Are you hurt?"

He shook his head and looked down.

"I'm sorry Juliette..." he whispered.

"For what?" She asked curiously. Her heart almost leapt at the thought she may be in trouble or Boris-sama had discovered that she lied last night.

"Your hands, you got hurt because of me" he slowly replied, avoiding her gaze.

Relief.

Her hands tilted up his face, forcing him to look at her, a soft smile on her lips. "Juan, it's not your fault. I'm careless, I should have known better than to approach the others knowing they hadn't yet trusted me. Do not blame yourself else I'll feel bad" she retorted, assuredly. Juan watched in awe, believing her words and looking a shade happier. He nodded.

"Do they hurt?" He asked reaching for her hands and holding them into his own, away from his cheek.

She shook her head. "Have you eaten?"

The boy shook his head in distaste. She released his hands and gazed at him meaningfully. "We can both go and eat some dinner, shall we?" She smiled. Juan always made her feel better somehow. The boy smiled back in agreement and nodded.

Back at the infirmary, Juliette fished out 2 plates and her dinner box she had picked up earlier. Juan waited patiently on the bed, staring at his blade. Juliette paused, as she placed the food evenly on the plates, her eyes caught a small brown glass bottle. Out of curiosity she picked it up. There read no label and inside seemed like a clear liquid. She didn't remember putting that there. Carefully she opened the cap and lifted it up to her nose to smell it.

A gasp escaped her lips as she recoiled back, keeping the bottle at arm's length.
What was Cyanide doing in her infirmary?! She had never seen nor carried the stuff with her and neither had she ever used any. In haste, she quickly screwed on the cap and threw the bottle in the bin. She was trained well enough to discover different and harmful substances. Juan was still waiting silently as she took over their plates, oblivious to the pair of icy blue eyes watching the pair eat.


*Juliette P.O.V*

The sound of a blade awoke me. My mind knew it was Tala practicing and I did not want to enter or disrupt him again. I hadn't seen him today, I wonder if he had taken to tablets after I left that day. Instead of engaging and following after the noise like last time I reached for Artemis. Her positive vibes made me feel warm and safe.

'How are you feeling?'

'I'm...better than the past few days.'

'Something troubles your mind Juliette.'

I bit my lip, sighing. It was almost impossible to hide thing's from her sometimes, after all she does delve into my head quite a lot.

'I have managed to gain the bladers trusts, perhaps not from the Demolition Boys, demo, I worry for them all... Oh Artemis what will become of them? Their lives are simply chained to this abbey, never free'my thoughts sadly replied.

'Oh Juliette, do not fret on these matters. What matters more is your safety, I sense some hope in the others and that is only because of you. If you falter then who are they to be hopeful to? Stay strong my dear Juliette, everything will unfold itself soon.'

Her warm and wise words calmed me, but something still bugged my mind. A certain red-haired blader.

'You are thinking of Tala?'

I nodded.

'He seems far more distant than the others Artemis. He's trying to prove Boris wrong, in doing so he doesn't care about himself. Good lord, in the process he is risking even his life! This is wrong but I cannot help him' I winced mentally.

'It is true; he has a wall of ice barricaded around him. It would be wise to stay away from him, until he has achieved his goal.'

My mind wandered. Spencer seemed to have a little trust in me as did Ian, though I had no further encounters with either blader. As for Bryan, he was weird. One minute it would seem like he would open up to me then the next he was an ice cold glacier like Tala.

'Sleep, clear your mind of these thoughts and worries.'

'Hai, arigatou Artemis, I don't know what I would do without you. Oyasumi.'

'Oyasumi.'

The morning brought chills as I woke up shivering. Temperatures must have dropped by 10 degrees bringing it to a sub-zero state. It was freezing. I could see out the small window it was snowing and windy. I took the liberty of taking a hot shower before changing and drying off my hair with a towel. It was only 6:17am. Since it was colder I pulled on my pale blue dress shirt on top of a t-shirt then shrugged into a snugly white sweater. I loosely wrapped a black scarf around my neck hanging and put on my black pleated skirt and socks with my white winter boots. I slipped on my finger-less gloves and grabbed my briefcase and began making my way to the infirmary. It was still early. I wonder if there would be any severe casualties today.
My phone rang while I sat down inside the infirmary. The I.D showed Father calling. As nervous as I was in picking up, not picking up would lead to a worse outcome.

"Ohayo otou-san" I quietly greeted.

"Ohayo. I wondered how things are at the abbey" he blankly questioned. His voice held no implications of concern or interest; I guessed he was doing it out of duty.

"Good."

Pause.

"You haven't left the premises have you...Juliette?"

It was more of a statement than a question. But one I expected.

"íie otou-san, I haven't."

"Good. I will be very unhappy to hear if you have and also...I am aware of the gender inhabitants there. You are not to fraternize, is that understood?" His last word was spoken with more venom.

"Hai otou-san, I assure you nothing as such has or will happen" I blankly replied.

"It better not."

The line went dead. I stared at the blank screen in silence before setting my phone down on my desk. It was then I heard the door of the infirmary open behind me and I turned around to see a familiar face.

"I'm sorry, are you busy?"

"íie, not at all, come in" I replied.

"Are you okay? Do you need help?" I asked.

He shook his head, leaning against the bed frame watching me with those indigo colored eyes.

"I'm fine, maybe just a little headache so I wondered if you had a painkiller or something."

I nodded, standing up and received a packet from the cabinet and handed it to him. I was fully aware he hadn't taken his eyes off of me.

"Are you sure that is all Keiji? You seem out of place" I stared into his eyes, hoping I could read him or somewhat but the action was simply impossible. These abbey boys knew too well on how to cover up emotions.

He shook his head; his ravishing violet colored hair was tousled, most probably from sleep. He took the tablet and sat down glancing around the room.

"It's quite early, couldn't you sleep?" I asked as I sat down in my chair looking over the files.

"Not really. I'm a bit insomniac."

That was expected. Usually depression was the main cause of insomnia or a shocking experience. Being here at the Abbey was surely depressing and shocking enough. I turned around facing him with a solitary expression.

"How long have you been here at the Abbey Keiji?" I was slightly curious.

He exhaled, stuffing his hands into his jean pockets and looked down. "9 years."

That was such a long time.

"Quite hard to take in isn't it?"

I glanced up. "Betsuni, I know what its like."

He jerked his head up then and arched an eyebrow.

"I've been locked away inside my own house all my life. I can't really say I have felt freedom before. I have only ever been allowed out to attend my sessions at the institute" I murmured, fiddling with the pen in my hand. This seemed to have surprised him because he straightened himself up and gazed at me intently.

"That's different. You know, since you're a doctor at this age, 17 right?"

I nodded.

"Yeah, I was sure you had quite the life, unlike us here. I guess that was another reason why I hated you."

I flinched slightly at the word hate. It was such a strong word. One I didn't like to use much on people. Not that I've ever used it.

"Don't take it the wrong way, I mean we all had our doubts about you but that's different now."

I softened my face. "I understand."

He seemed to shuffle his feet and look nervous, avoiding my gaze.

"Something is bothering you. I can sense it, you can talk to me you know, I won't say a word to anyone else" I assured.

He glanced up; a very small smile appeared on his lips.

"It's nothing really. I'm just curious to know why someone like you is here; this isn't the first place I'd pick to go to if I was a doctor."

He almost said it as if it were a joke. I stayed silent, losing my softness in my eyes which I knew he noticed because he swallowed.

"Gomen, I didn't mean to intrude on your personal matters, I understand if you don't want to say" he quickly covered up looking slightly alarmed.

I shook my head. "It's nothing like that. It wasn't really my choice. My father sent me to work here."

I saw his eyes widen slightly and a baffled look etched on his face- much like my own when otou-san announced I'd be working at the Abbey.

"Why here though?"

I sighed quietly, standing up and filling my briefcase of things I'll need today.

"That I do not know."

He shuffled, probably having moved to one of the beds and sat down because I heard the cries of the mattress springs.

"You know, I first came here because my parents ditched me when I was a baby, got taken in by my aunt and uncle. It was all right, I suppose. They kept me till I was about 7. I knew all about blading by then and got into it you know? Demo, it all became a blur then. One minute I was a kid enjoying beyblading. The next, I was sold off to Boris."

I froze. He was...sold? Good god. I had no idea what to think then. I stopped what I was doing and turned around to face him once more. He was gazing up at the ceiling but I saw him glancing a few times from the corner of his eye towards me. For a moment we were there in silence before he jumped up, scoffing inwardly and ran his fingers through his hair. I noticed he had a small pretty beauty spot just beside his left eye on his pale skin.

"Aah, I don't even know why I'm telling you all this. Probably because you seem easy to talk to about dark secrets" he sighed.

I blinked. Was that true?

"Was being a doctor something you were forced to do as well?"

I looked directly at him. "íie, I always wanted to be one. I enjoy looking after people I guess, just something I feel as if I have to do" I softly stated, my mind wandered to the past and how I always loved playing doctors with my child minder. It was then I had begun my dream to be a qualified doctor.

He gazed at me in interest, taking in what I said. A small soft smirk grew on his lips as he closed his eyes.

"The Abbey is really no place for you, but..."

I waited for him to finish the sentence but instead he turned towards the doors and began walking away but not before glancing back around with a smile.

"..I'm kind of glad you're here."


That morning I watched over the 1st training session that was held outside in the blistering cold. I couldn't believe they had to train in this freak weather. It would surely bring in a lot of unwanted illnesses. To my surprise by the time they had completed their exercises outdoors and returned, neither blader looked even remotely affected by the cold harsh winds and ice. I also noticed 4 figures walk into the hallway from another exit. Boris had noted I had no further use till after lunch unless I was to be visited so I was pretty much free. Taking a slow breath I stood up and slowly made my way over to the 4 boys with their backs facing me. I paused just a metre away before speaking.

"A-Ano..." at the sound of my voice the 4 figures froze. 3 glanced over their shoulder while a certain redhead stayed facing with his back to me.

I swallowed. "Are you guys ok? Do you n-"

"We don't need anything" a cold voice snapped back.

I flinched slightly, giving a forlorn expression that made Bryan glance warily from his captain and back to me. It wasn't surprising that Tala would object to any help I offered, but that didn't stop me from feeling poignant. Giving a weak smile I nodded, accepting their words.

"Juliette!"

I turned at the sound of my name to see Cole walking up towards me, a tiny warm smile on his face. I returned the smile.

"Cole, how can I help?" I asked softly.

He ran a hand through his hair and grinned.

"I just wanted to thank you. I don't know what you did but Juan has gained a heck of lot of confidence."

I was surprised. Had I really affected Juan that much? It felt like such a big achievement and I gave a genuine soft smile.

"Oh you don't need to thank me. I'm happy to be here for anyone really" I replied.

Cole seemed to turn blank as he blinked, I was aware his gaze wasn't on me anymore so I looked behind me to see the 4 boys now watching the 2 of us intently. Tala's eyes narrowed as he watched from the corner of his eye. I blinked back.

"Yeah...well...anyway I need to go. Ja ne Sakurai-san!" Cole waved before jogging off into darkness.

I shook my head at him and didn't bother correcting him. At that sudden moment, a loud crack was heard and I felt dust falling on my shoulders. Nani...? Confused, I blinked and looked up only to be struck in horror.

"LOOK OUT!"

I felt a large pressure charge at me then pressed down on top of my body. I opened my eyes. A throbbing pain broadened all over my back and head. I winced and groaned before clearly looking up. I was flat on the ground on my back with Bryan's head on my shoulder and his whole strong body crushing my frame. He was extremely heavy. I shifted my head to see where I was standing 2 seconds ago. A large block of concrete from the abbey ceiling seemed to have collapsed. I would have been killed if Bryan hadn't pushed me out the way. I could feel his chest heave as he took his breaths. He moved then, pushing himself up on his arms either side of my head as he winced and growled quietly.

His eyes opened and I was staring into moonstones again. They seemed to be shocked and somewhat relieved? Perhaps. For a few seconds we just stayed like that, looking at each other, not breathing a word. It was until a cleared throat made us blink and look to the side. Bryan instantly pulled himself up and brushed off his clothes before holding out a hand. I stared at it avidly before taking it with my own as he pulled me up. Brushing off my own clothes I glanced back at the death zone. Did that really just happen? I don't know whether I was in shock from nearly getting killed or the fact Bryan just saved me.

"Masaka...that was close" I whispered quietly.

I turned to face Bryan who looked down at me. He was taller, like a head taller than me.

"Domo arigatou gozaimasu Bryan, if you hadn't pushed me out the way I would have..." my voice trailed off as I bowed and stood up straight.

He looked away, closing his eyelids a rank.

"Yeah...don't worry" he mumbled.

"Ikuzo Tala, Spencer, Ian" he turned around and headed the way they had been walking before I ran up to them.

Tala seemed to have glanced between Bryan and me before following with his eyes closed. He was walking behind the former 3 pausing; he turned his head to the side to glance over his shoulder with a cold narrowed stare seeming curious. I gazed back in return, something changed in that cold glance, and I wasn't sure if it was good or bad yet. His eyes closed and he swivelled his head round and continued walking into the darkness.


"Chikusho..."

I heaved out a deep breath, throwing a hand up to my forehead. It was growing warm. I wasn't handling Russia's blistering winter weathers well. If I didn't watch out I'd be the one needing treatment. I took an aspirin before turning back to my work station, adding in the updates for the bladers on their medical records. It just so happened I found out 6 of the bladers had allergies to nuts. A lot of them had insomnia, some cases worse than others. Keiji had one of the worst cases. There were a few depression victims. I gave out a few anti depressants but it was better if they dealt with the depression by themselves. It was coming close to 9pm. I decided to go for a walk for some fresh air as my temperature was starting to rise. I clutched my arms, rubbing them to create friction as I felt the coldness of the night jab at my skin through my clothes. I hadn't been watching myself and bumped into a small figure. This action was getting far too habitual.

"Gomenasai!" I cried out.

"What are you doing?" the rough voice asked.

I blinked, oh no, my vision was starting to blur but I could make out the dark hair and ruby red eyes.

"Ian?" I croaked, squinting to get a better view.

He arched an eyebrow. "You look like you're about to pass out."

I almost chuckled but felt far too weak for that. "It's just a small temperature. I just need some fresh air..." I stifled.

There was a pause and he shook his head. "Don't be stupid, go to bed."

I shook my head. "Iya, I'll go in a bit. Sorry to have bumped into you so suddenly."

I gave a reassuring nod before continuing my walk down the abbey. It was then I heard the sound of whips. Not just one, but two, maybe even three. Some poor soul was getting tortured at this hour and by the sound of it, pretty bad too. With a deep breath I brought myself to stumble down the steps towards the torture chambers. The reek of musky stale blood and putrid stench had my nostrils burning already. There were sounds of someone trying to hold in their screams as each lash was heard. Feeling like I couldn't bear the sounds any longer I rushed forwards to suck in a gasp as I saw the familiar red hair. Oh god no. The arm I had bandaged was slipping off and his whole body was covered in numerous lashes and bruises and cuts. His face was looking down; eyes closed as if he was bearing the pain like it were nothing. But I couldn't take it. The 2 guards unaware of my presence continued as I pulled the gate open and dived forwards.

"YAMETE KUDASAI!"

My cry echoed through the halls as I stood in front of Tala, arms out open and my eyes tightly closed as my teeth clenched. I tried keeping in the small sobs that threatened to leave my mouth. My heart was hammering like a fierce animal trapped in a cage.

"Stop!" One guard called out, I turned my head expecting the worst but the whip seemed to fall at my feet.

I heard the raspy breaths Tala was taking behind me as I opened my eyes slowly and looked up to see 2 astounded looking guards.

I puckered up the courage.

"His arm had already been wounded badly a few days ago, nearly hitting an artery. By continuing to harm him like this will risk him re opening the wound and he will die!" I cried out.

The guards seemed to feel no remorse but they exchanged glances. I could tell Tala was trying to protest but hadn't the energy to tell me off. Clearly he was better me doing this than to risk getting killed. I wasn't going to let that happen.

I straightened myself up. "Boris-sama will not want his top blader dead now does he?" This wasn't supposed to remind them of the event about Rocky from the past, but from the look on their faces it seemed I had just completed that task. This seemed to ample their weak spots as they exchanged looks.

"Very well. See to it, Miss Juliette, that he is taken care of" their dark voices stated before leaving.

I sighed in relief before dreading to turn around. Tala's body was covered in his own blood, dripping to the floor in an endless waterfall. Carrying him to the infirmary would be a bad idea. I saw the keys on the floor by the whip and took a hold of them. I unlocked the chains around his wrists and is body fell down from fatigue but before he could hit the floor, I caught his torso, not caring about the blood.

"L..et...m..." he croaked.

He struggled to speak.

"No. It's too dangerous to move you yet. I'll have to clean you as best as I can here" I noted, ignoring his muffled protests.

He was going to have to lie on the floor. I slid him off to lean against the wall before taking off my woolly sweater, bundling it up into a pillow. I returned to Tala and eased him down so his head rested on the sweater. He was very heavy for me to carry. I noticed he opened his eyes a crack, revealing those all too blue icy hues. They seemed to be too weak to imply anything but I knew he didn't like this at all.

The first thing I did was drenching a cloth in water and wiped away the blood. I then quickly tended to his severe wounds, applying antiseptic then placing a large gauze over them. I added the healing creams to the smaller wounds then finally moved onto his arm. The dressing that slid down enabled the wound to start opening, bleeding down feverishly. I had no new dressing in my briefcase. Thinking hard I grabbed the bottom of my dress shirt, tearing a strip off before re-wrapping the old dressing on the wound and tightening it on with the strip of material. It held together for now. His eyes watched me the entire time, questioning and no doubt cursing. I helped him up, noticing how he was allowing me to touch him. His skin was cold and smooth. Like ice. I finished dabbing his back before helping him stand up. Reaching for his arm, he edged away.

"I...I can go myself" he muttered.

"Tala, just put your arm around my neck for support. You will not make it up those steps without falling" I argued back.

He hissed. "Shut...up."

I ignored him, reaching for his arm and placing it round my neck. He flinched before turning his head towards me.

"Your skin is on fire."

I froze. Chikusho...my temperature. I sighed.

"It's nothing. Let's get you to your dorm."

We had a silent trip to his dorm before Bryan came out to help. He took over and helped Tala inside. I dropped off the pack of strong oxycontin tablets and dressing pack after. Bryan paused before closing the door and eyed me up and down.

"You look like crap."

I blinked back at him. "Thanks..."

He smirked. "Go. Get some sleep."

I nodded and headed back to my dorm to finally get some rest and wrap up warm. Before that I took a long shower, feeling massively better before plunging into darkness and the warmth of my bed.

Aw I did love writing this chapter! Even though Tala did get tortured :( Whenever I think about the scene Bryan saved Juliette, I always laugh and picture him in a Superman costume lol. WELL, that was a long dramatic chapter! We shall see what become's of Tala in the next chapter and it will be in Normal P.O.V at the beginning :) Lot's more to come! I hope you enjoyed chapter six! Review Please? it won't take long! And the more reviews I get, the faster I will update Chapter Seven :D Thanks to all who have reviewed! You're all amazing!

Adios!
