Chapter 10: More Questions
[The Blitzkrieg Boys] Luke stated looking you in the eyes. You loosed your grip on your pillow and sat up surprise. Placing the pillow on your lap you propped your elbows on it and your chin on your hands. You were giving him a confused look as he just stared with determination. [What about them?] you asked looking him in the eyes as well. He quickly then diverted his eyes to the floor your stare getting to him. [I need you to some how help me arrange a meeting between my team and theirs.] he said playing with your comforter in his left hand. [And why cant you do that?] you asked rising a eyebrow at the gray and blue hair boy sitting only a few inches in front of you. [Tala and Rika wont even look at each other. Spencer and Sully are already fighting. And I just don't even feel like attempting to talk to Kai.] he said as he ran his hand through his hair. You just shook your head as you looked down at the comforter. [You're forgetting a blader] you said with a smirk as you slowly got off the bed. {Chris could probably talk to Bryan and get it to all work out jus fine} you thought walking into the bathroom. As you turned on the sink to get yourself some water you called back to Luke, [But if you don't want to talk to him either, you will be stuck on a plane with them, Lunar Ray, and F.I.N.E tomorrow. You can probably get your talk in then.]. Looking back at Luke he smirked as he walked out of the room with a head nodded. {Back to being the silent one I see} you thought after he had closed the door. You then turned to your water and took a sip. {Damn drama} you mumbled as you finished your water and headed to bed. A long day awaited you.A small yawn escaped your lips as you slowly walked down the steps with your eyes half closed. Your black duffle bad was flung over your right shoulder and your guitar was in your left hand. Three other pairs of foot steps followed yours down the long pathway to the lobby. Everyone's alarms were set for six o'clock and it was now six thirty as everyone started to meet to get on the planes. [Why does it have to be so early] complained a yawning Tyson from behind you. Mentally you rolled your eyes at the stupidly of your brother. [We would still get there if we left later] he continued to complain. [And then we wouldn't be tired..]. He let out a loud yawn. [Shut up Tyson] you stated unemotionally as you rounded yet another platform to yet another flight of stairs. [Why don't you Meg!] he screamed down at you. But you said nothing, just continued to walk down the steps. [I believe that you're the one talking] stated Seth who was behind him and probably as annoyed with your brother as you were. [I wasn't talking to you blue eyes!] screamed Tyson as you imagined him pointing at Seth. You just shook your head and yawned yet again. {He even forgot Seth's name} you thought with a mental sigh. [Yes, but your voice is annoying everyone] said Sarah bored who was probably right next to Seth. [Why. You! Get over here blue hair!] seethed Tyson as you pictured him about to hit them. [They could beat the shit out of you. Don't try.] you stated as you finally reached the end of the steps. [MEG!] Tyson screamed as you closed the door. But it was just too early in the morning to fight with him. Silently you walked towards the huge mass of collected bladers in the middle of the lobby. {This doesn't look like fun} you thought already pissed as you made your way to your team.[Now the planes will be split up into four teams each. The first plane will be, BBA Revolution, PPB All-stars, Majestics, and White Tigers. Then the second plane will be F.I.N.E, Lunar Ray, Blitzkrieg Boys, and Zatknjisj] Announced Mr. D as he walked away from the group of bladers collecting in his lobby. [But where are we going!] shouted Hilary just before he was out of sight. He laughed as he turned around and called out [China!]. A look of excitement appeared on the White Tiger teams faces. They would be going home. [The plane ride shouldn't be that bad. At least we don't have Tyson on our plane.] whispered Devin to your team which had clustered at the doors. You just grumbled as you picked up your bag and headed towards the door. Well Devin was right, at least you didn't have to deal with Tyson. The sliding doors opened as the bladers swarmed around them. Quickly everyone rushed out them and headed towards the planes. Lunar Ray and the Blitzkrieg Boys were the last out the door. But before either of your two teams could move the sound of rushing feet caught your attention. Slowly you turned to see who it was. [Good luck Meg!] called your Grandmother as she came out of no where and lunged at you catching you in a hug. Everyone froze hearing the commotion and turned to look at the two of you. [Aww!] you could hear Mariah, Emily, and Hilary say from out side. It made you want to gage, throw up, then beat them to a blood pulp. In the corner of your eye you could see that your team was shocked and tense along with F.I.N.E and Zatknjisj. Tala and Kai were glaring at your Grandmother while Bryan and Spencer had no clue what the heck was going on. Finally, out of disgust you forcefully pushed her off. [Don't touch me] you growled glaring at her. A wave of silence flashed around the room as many stunned faces along with smirks came your way. [That is no way to treat you Grandmother] she hissed as she brought up her fist up to hit you. Nothing that you didn't expect. You narrowed your eyes into a glare as she smirked down at you as she started to swing her fist. Before her hand could even come close to reaching you, you grabbed her arm and squeezed it. [I don't care if I break every single bone in your body.] you growled dangerously. [Don't touch me unless you want to test that] you continued as you worsened your grip. But something was wrong with her skin. It was as if it had no warmth. Just a cold and clammy coating covering her. The smirk stayed planted on her lips. [Don't worry. I will test that sooner or later] she cooed only loud enough for you to hear her. {She really is a monster} you thought as you roughly let go of her arm and walked out the door. [How could you just do that to our sixty-some Grandmother!] Tyson screamed in your face as you tried to pass. [Move] you growled your bangs covering your eyes and shadowing your face. [Not until you tell me what your problem is] Tyson replied crossing his arms defiantly. Suddenly you whipped your head up and your bangs fell out of your eyes. Glaring at Tyson it looked as if a black fire was dancing in your eyes. [My problem is...] you started out unemotionally [Assholes who believe they know everything. When in reality they know shit! You met a person for one day and you think you know everything about them? News flash I spent three years with that monster I would know a hell of a lot more then you will ever know!] you seethed venom dripping from your words. Shock and sadness filled Tyson's eyes as you brushed past him and onto the plane. Lunar Ray, Zatknjisj, F.I.N.E, and the Blitzkrieg Boys quickly followed your you plopped yourself down in the middle of the plane after placing your bag and guitar in the over head storing. Laying your head on the window you closed your eyes and wished for everything to just disappear. But when do wishes ever come true? [Mind if I sit here?] came Tala's voice from the aisle. [No] you muttered as you slowly opened your eyes to look at Tala. His blue eyes were looking at you with there normal unemotional stare. You smirked sadly at him as you slowly sat up. [Now will everyone buckle up their seat belts and return their trays to the up right position. We will be taking off shortly.] came a voice over the intercom. Groaning you placed the stupid safety belt over your waste. Tala does the same thing next to you. Looking around you see that Spencer and Bryan are sitting directly in front of you. In front of them is Devin and Chris. Then directly behind you is Kai who is sitting next to Eric. Then behind them is Mike and Scotty. Across from Scotty is Sarah and Seth. Ahead of them is Mark and Sully. Across from you Rika is sitting next to the window with Adam sitting next to her. Then Jess is sitting in front of Adam and Luke is sitting next to her. A sudden upward filling rushed through your system making you forget about the seating arrangements. Quickly you turned your gaze to the window and saw the buildings flying by. Soon the plane was off the ground and you were watching the clouds wiz by the window. A strange calm washed over you as you leaned your head back on the seat and continued to stare out the window. But as you continued to stare, you could feel eyes on you. Slowly you turned your gaze to the side. Next to you Tala was staring at you intently. You could tell that he wanted to say something. But before he could get a word of it out, someone interrupted him. [Tala. I would like to talk to you and your team] came an unsure voice from the other side of the plane. You and Tala along with Spencer, Bryan, and Kai all turned your attention over to the other side of the plane. There in the second row Luke was standing up looking intently at Tala. You just smirked knowing that this was going to piss the crazy Russians off. All of them. [Don't do this now] mumbled Rika from behind him as she stared out the window. Luke quickly shot his head in her direction. [Then when does it fit in to your busy schedule] he hissed glaring at her. She slowly turned to look at him. The same hate filled glare filled her gaze. Looking over at Tala you examined just how he was reacting to the conversation on the other side of the plane. He was glaring at Luke with a sudden hate hidden in his eyes. {Funny. He pretends to not even know Rika, yet he gets pissed when someone insults her. Especially Luke} you thought mentally shaking your head and the stupidly of everything thing. [So?] Luke asked crossing his arms as he turned his attention back to Tala. That just continued to stare at him. Everyone in the plane had now stopped their conversations and were paying attention to the two fighting leaders. [Are you going to talk or what?] Luke asked now glaring at Tala. [Were listening] Tala grumbled never lessening his glare. Kai, Spencer, and Bryan were all staring at Luke in a mild interest. Luke opened his mouth to say something but he looked as if he froze. Everyone's eyes were on him and he obviously hadn't thought of what to say after that. Next to you Tala growled showing his patients were wearing thin. Not that you could really blame him with the way him and team Zatknjisj got along. [I believe that Luke would like to talk about the way your teams are getting along] you said calmly looking at Luke to see if this was truly what he wanted. Everyone's heads quickly shot in your direction. Some glaring faces stared at you, but they were mostly filled with confusion. Luke was staring at you with a hidden gratefulness in his eyes while Tala was staring at you with a not so hidden glare. You just stared about both unemotionally. [And what is wrong with the way mine team has treated yours?] asked Tala as he turned to look at Luke again. You just mentally shook your head as you leaned back to watch this conversation. You had started the conversation for them, now all is up to Luke to finish it. Luke sighed and jumped over Jess into the aisle. She sat there unfazed by his sudden movement, but she was looking at you with a weird confusion. [Why wont you talk to Rika?] Luke asked looking Tala in the eye. Tala's calm face turned to shock. Looking over to Rika you could see that she had turned back to the window not wanting to know the answer. Luke then turned to the row in front of you were Spencer and Bryan were sitting. [And Spencer, why do you hate Sully so much?]. Spencer just glared at the floor probably wishing to beat the crap out of Luke right now. [And Kai, Why do you pretend like I'm not even here] he said lower now looking at the ground. Kai kept his gaze out the window staring at the puffy masses of clouds passing by. Again pretending like Luke wasn't even there. Everyone except you and Adam were staring at these two teams in wonder. It wasn't very often that you see two cold teams talking like this. Again scanning the plane you saw how hard this conversation was for team Zatknjisj. They must feel really upset by the way the Blitzkrieg Boys were treating them. But how could they not? [What happened to the way you use to be] Luke said lowly, hatefully directing his question to Kai. This made you look towards him in surprise. His head was bent so his bangs were covering his eyes. He then suddenly shifted his gaze towards Kai. [I thought you above everyone would have forgiven me, brother] he whispered returning his gaze to the floor as he turned his back on Kai. Gasps were heard around the plane as Kai finally turned to look at his brother, Luke. His face may still have been emotionless, but you knew that Luke had gotten to him. [And it seems as if the only people in the plane that have forgiven us are Meg and Adam] Luke continued finally looking at Kai. The Blitzkrieg Boys then turned their attention to you and Adam, who were still staring at Luke. You could feel Tala's unemotional eyes on you, but you refused to look at him. At the moment you didn't want to explain anything to him. [Does the rest of your team feel this way?] asked Tala as he finally too his gaze off you and looked down at the floor in deep thought. [Yes I feel that way as well] can a voice from his right. But Tala didn't move an inch to look at them. So after a while they added, [Dear brother]. Tala slowly looked up into the eyes of his sister, Rika. {This family reunion is worse then mine was} you thought as you turned to look at Sully. Sooner or later, he was bound to join in the conversation. [Do you have anything to add cousin?] Spencer said with a sigh. You just had to stare at Spencer with a raised eyebrow. It was amazing that he was talking to Sully without it being in insult. And at the same time he was calling Sully his cousin for everyone to hear. [Ok this conversation is over. We will finish when we land. Meg and Adam should be there too] said Tala as he sighed and shook his head. A strange silence washed through the plane as everyone returned to their own conversations. After a few minutes the plane was silent as everyone either dozed off or was quietly listening to music. Sighing you slowly stood up and stretched. After a yawn you jumped over Tala to get to the aisle. You could feel his wondering eyes on your back as you reached into the storage compartment and pulled out your black bag. [What are you looking for?] he asked as you plopped back down in you seat. [You'll see] you said with a smirk as you started to look through your bag. In a few minutes you were done digging through the bag and brought out what you were looking for. Now resting on your lap was your lovely Apple laptop. [What are you going to do with that?] asked Tala as you opened the top and the screen slowly faded from black to the background. [I'm going to talk to Devin] you answered your eyes glued to the screen as you slowly opened Safari. [Why don't you just go and sit near him.] Tala asked with a raised eyebrow as an IM popped up from xXNothingsxWorthxThisXx, or Devin. [This is just more fun] you answered as you plugged in your head phones to pay attention to yours and Devin's conversation. Tala just shook his head and he turned and pulled out his own CD : Hey miss Meg_SickOfThisLife_(or you): Lo mister Devin xXNothingsxWorthxThisXx: That was one weird conversation with Z and Blitz_SickOfThisLife_: You had to know that was coming...xXNothingsxWorthxThisXx: I know... it was just... Weird_SickOfThisLife_: Ya...xXNothingsxWorthxThisXx: And how do you know all about this?_SickOfThisLife_: Who said I knew anything =PxXNothingsxWorthxThisXx: ... Bitch..._SickOfThisLife_: Why thank you...xXNothingsxWorthxThisXx: You know something your brother said got me thinking..._SickOfThisLife_: Adam?xXNothingsxWorthxThisXx: No it was Tyson actually_SickOfThisLife_: Ok now that's just sad... But what was it?xXNothingsxWorthxThisXx: Just how old is your grandmother?Reading that your eyes widened. It was never a question that crossed your mind. {Really... how old is she?} you thought as you quickly said goodbye to Devin and signed off. Quickly you opened up Safari on your dock and went to Google. Once the page was open you typed in Sandra Granger, your grandmothers full name. The very first article that popped up was the state archives of her birth. Exactly what you were looking for. Clicking on it a yellow and brown page loaded. It looked to be a replica of a Pennsylvania birth certificate. Born on March 2nd, 1911 you read the first line. {Wait! 1911? That would maker her... 101! She sure as hell doesn't look 101. Something's wrong there...} you thought as you backed out of that sight and went to look at another one. {That must have been a miss type...} Granger Tragedy was the title of the next site. A voice inside your head told you not to read it. That it was going to bring up memories that you just didn't need to be reliving. But you just couldn't help it. Patiently you waited as the page loaded up. Quickly your eyes started to scan the old news paper article.Late yesterday a call came into emergency headquarters asking for immediate help. It seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary. At most a robbery commented the local police chief who was responding to the call. Quickly police cars rushed to the house of a well respected local family. The Granger house was deserted as the police searched for any harmed or hiding members. No one could be found after thirty minutes of scanning the house. Flustered the police took their search out back. There they found the bodies of Lyn and James Granger. Respected members of the community as well as the mother and father of Hiro, Adam, Meg, and Tyson Granger. The police quickly discovered that the two were dead... Your vision blurred as tears built up in your eyes. Quickly you shut your laptop and placed it back in your bag desperately wanting to get the image of the article out of your head. It had been a long time since you had ever read anything about your parents death. When you were little, no one had ever told you how they died. It had always been up to you and Adam to find out on your own. For many years Gramps and the monster you have to call a grandmother kept any information on your parents deaths hidden. Their excuse had been that it was just too hard of a story to tell. What a bunch of crap. It wasn't till after the Abbey days till you found out what had truly happen to your parents. And you planned to never read a thing about their deaths again. Especially now since you know you were the cause of their untimely fate. Silently you placed your head on the window the memories over whelming you. Thankfully your bangs fell over your eyes covering the slowly steady tears that were running down them right now. For a long time you just watched the clouds pass by. The white puffy masses doing nothing to calm your you could feel someone tilt your chin to face them. Slowly they pushed the bangs out of your face. Once the hair was gone you could see Tala's cold blue eyes were staring back at you. But now they held worry and compassion in them. [You're eyes are to calm to hold tears] he whispered as he took his thumb and whipped away the small stream of tears that had been collecting around your chin. You smiled slightly at his kindness. [What's wrong?] he asked lowly never breaking eye contact. Slowly you shook your head and looked down. You really didn't want to talk about this with anyone. Not even your brother should know some of the terrible things that are now going through your mind. Tala nodded understandingly as he pulled you closer to him. Your nerves started to calm as he held you to his chest and held you in a comforting way. [Ill always be here for you] he whispered in your ear sending a wave of hot breath on your neck. You were shocked with what he was saying. Why was Tala acting so weird? Sure he normally acts nicer around you, but this was just too nice. You pulled away from him to look him in the face. But as you did, you were caught up in a kiss. Shocked you froze for a minute before responding whole heartedly to the kiss. A strange excitement raced through you as his gentle lips stayed connected to yours. Why was it that this boy made you feel this way?*Unknown POV*You watched as Meg slowly rested her head on the window. Ever since you had gotten on the plane you and been secretly watching all her moves. What was wrong with her now? She seemed to be very upset. But what could have upset her? Suddenly Tala reached over and tilted her head towards him. Your blood started to rise. No way in hell should this freak be touching her! He doesn't deserve her! Then your blood ran cold as he suddenly placed his lips on Meg. And to your disgust, she kissed him back. But Meg should be yours and not his! And she will be. No matter what it takes...*Your POV*Slowly you and Tala broke the kiss. A new calm had washed over you along with the sense of pure joy. Almost reluctantly you open your eyes. And the most wonderful site was staring back at you. The amazing blue eyes of the amazing Russian that was sitting right next to you. A smirk was planted on his face as he just stared back into your eyes. You smirked back as you got lost in his icy eyes. [Ladies and Gentleman, we are now in China...]
