Sorry for not updating in a while, but a lot of family and friend problems have come up and I'm a little overstressed...
Kai: No shit. You haven't had a good nights sleep in weeks.
Me: Well hopefully that will change soon. I've broken up with my boyfriend. Cheating bastard...Anyway, I was thinking and the only elements represented in the story so far are..
Max: oh oh I know. Fire, water, darkness, ice, earth, and wind.
Tyson: Yep, all are represented.
Rei: Um, Tyson were missing some of the basic elements.
Tyson: What do you mean?
Tala: I'm surrounded by idiots...Tyson, if you have darkness than what are you missing?
Tyson: um...
Hiro: Light Tyson. We are missing light.
Tyson: Ahh! where did you come from. Anyway, what element do you have?
Me: Would everybody just shut up! thank you. Hiro doesn't have one at the moment and Light will be represented by an incoming female people who will be introduced in this chapter! So no more questions and read!
Everybody: shrinks Yes ma'am.
Me: good.
Disclamier: I don't own beyblade. Which means that unfortunatly, the characters, cast, bitbest, etc. is not mine.
Chapter Six: Females!
"That's it," Tala grumbled. Rei watched his friend jog to catch up with Alexander (Kai). He knew the ice wolf would probaly start a fight with the other male, but he was too exhausted to protest. "Alexander, we stop here." Tala's voice was cold without emotion. The other teens stopped as a growl came out of Tala's mouth and his fangs extended. He dared for someone to protest.
"We should stop," Evenescence stepped forward. Tala glanced at the female wolf wide-eyed. Did she just agree with him?
Kai stopped and looked behind him. The princes were terrible. Max was still asleep in Spencers arms, Rei was barely standing on two feet and Tala's breathing was crazy, fast, and shallow. The wolf and tiger were sweating from head to toe. Tyson had long since fallen asleep on hiro's back. His snoring was making everyone irritable. Kai nodded at Evenescence and kept walking.
"Hey you, were not walking anymore!" Tala yelled.
"Oh be quit," Evenescence commanded. "Stop being stupid, we can't stop here."
"Why?" Tala challenged.
"It's too close to the trail," she continued walking. Every now and than she would knell down and pick up another plant to put in the bag around her waste.
"Shouldn't we camp on the trail so we don't loose are way?" Tala asked annoyed.
Evenescence kept walking, but pulled out a purple leaf and rubbed it between her thumbs. "We shouldn't camp here, but if you want too, go right ahead. I won't stop you. Just eat this." She held the leaf up, "It's poision."
She smirked when Tala took a half step back. "It's only poisionous if you eat it. It'll kill you in less than an hour. First you'll break into a sweat. About 5 minutes later, you'll began to hallucinate. After that, you'll fall into a deep never ending sleep." She smilled sadistically.
"And why would I want to do that?" Tala asked a little unnerved.
Her lips curved into a crafty grin revealing a fang. "Because if your dead, you can escape the fate of becoming someones toy or slave. Trust me, it's a whole lot safer."
Tala stopped and looked at her. Rei came up beside him wide eyed as well. Spencer and Hiro laughhed at the crude joke and the expressions on Tala and Rei's face. Ilyana and Lex shook their heads in amusement.
Bryan landed beside Alexander (Kai) folding his wings back. "Travlers. Two carts." The others caught up and looked at the two. Alexander simply nodded. "You shouldn't fly anymore. They might spot you." Alexander turned and walked into the woods. Hiro nodded adn continued following the weird male.
"How far off Bryan?" Spencer asked moving Max around to a more comfortable positon.
"They'll be here tommrow, considering they keep up their speed of four oxen. Two per cart. About 10 were traveling. 6 men, 3 woman and two girls. One had brown hair, the other pink. I couldn't make out what they were though."
"What do you think they are?"
"Humans, pathetic creatures." Bryan glanced at Alexander, whom he suspected was human for a reaction. However, the blue haired teen just leaned against the tree. "Guess we camp here."
Alexander (kai) didn't open his eyes as Tala sat down on a rock and Spencer gently laid Max down with the help of Evenescence and Lex. Hiro woke Tyson up and put the boy down.
"Oww, oh hi guys. Are we there yet?" Tyson asked looking around.
"No idiot," Ilyana growled. "You slept all day while we were walking in the hot freak'n sun."
"Opps, forgot." Tyson's stomach growled and he looked at everyone esle. "Does anyone have food?"
The teens glanced at each other. "Umm, didn't you guys bring food with you?" Evenescence asked Tala.
"Yeah," Tala glared at Tyson. "Tyson just got perisable items, being the idiot he is. So everything we had to eat and drink spoiled while we were walking. What about you guys?"
"The idiots who captured us decieded to eat everything before Alexander (kai) so nicely freed us," Bryan growled in fustratson.
"So," Rei started. "You mean to tell us we have no food or drink?"
"What!" Tyson yelled. "We're gonna die!" Everyone sighed annoyed as Tyson started ranting about being to young and beutiful. Lex mentally sighed before squirting him in the face with water.
"Why'd you do that?" Tyson yelled. His face pulled up close to hers, but Lex closed her eyes uneffected and folded her arms. "Answer me damnit, you girl. I swear woman," Tyson raised his fist annoyed.
Lex opened her eyes and stood shocked. She closed her eyes and waited for the stirke to come, but to her amazement, nothing happened. Everyone stared at Bryan. The older teen held Tyson's wrist. His wings were spread and his eyes narrowed dangerously.
"You've done it now," Rei heard Ilyana mutter beside him.
Evenescence grew a primal smile glanceing at the scene in front of her. "You better tell your friend good-bye, because this might be your only chance." Tala looked at her confused.
The teens who knew Bryan really well grimced when Tyson was flung back on the rough ground. Bryan pulled out a dagger and let it gleam in the sunlight as a sadistic smirk came across his face. He reached down and violently pulled Tyson to his feet by the front of his shirt so the prince was eye level with himself.
"I seem to remember a vow we all took at the beginning of this little venture. You promised to not repeat any little thing we said at the beginning of this little tour around the woods to save your friend," Bryan smirked. "You also promished not to shed blood unless provoked. Correct me if I'm wrong, but did I not take a similiar vow?" He traced the dagger by Tyson's cheek. "And once again you high and mighty pieces of shit have provoked me."
When Bryan pulled back the dagger, Tyson's eyes widened in disbelief and fear as he quickly turned and closed his eyes. Everyone around them tensed and gasped. "Don't kill him Bryan," Hiro screamed in his mind.
As Bryan lunged the dagger downward, he stopped in mid swing. Lex stood defiantly in front of him with her arms crossed in a scolding manner. Her wings were folded behind her, barely brushing against Tyson's face.
"Move Lex, he had no right to say those things to you or even think about hitting you. I warned him," Bryan growled. "The bastards getting what he deserves."
Lex uncrossed her arms and placed her hand on her hip shifting all her weight. Her eyes narrowed in slient disagreement along with objection to everything. Spencer, being a peace maker and one of the girls best friends spoke up. "Bryan, put the dagger down. He's not worth it and right now we have enough problems to deal with. Lex obviously doesn't want you to hurt him anyway."
Bryan's fist clentched tighter around the dagger turning his knuckles white. His whole body began to shake in anger. His eyes stayed narrowed on his opponent.
"That's it," Tala mumbled looking to Rei.
"Your right," Rei whispered keeping his eyes on the four. The two boys nodded and started walking forward to intervene when Evenesence and Ilyana jumped in their way.
"What do you think your doing?" Evenescence hissed.
"Move out of our way," Rei commanded. "We've got to help Tyson."
"Hold on tiger," Ilyana called keeping her voice lower. "If you interfere now, there's no telling what will happen. Bryan's been through a lot in his life, things that just aren't my place to say. But one things for sure, Lex and Spencer are the only ones who can calm him down. If you go in there now, he'll kill Tyson for sure. Trust them."
"Why should we?" Tala questioned.
"Because you have no choice, Bryan could kill Tyson before you even got close." Evenescence replied turning back to watch the group. From the back of her eyes, she watched their guide. His eyes were opened, the bag beside him holding who knows what, as he watched without a word. "Your an odd silent guy Alexander," she thought.
Lex took Byrans fist in her smaller hands and slowly brought it down. Bryan allowed her and loosened his fist around the front of Tyson's shirt which allowed the boy to free himself. Lex pulled the fist closer to her while she took the dagger carefully from the hand and kissed the fist. She looked up at him, her eyes pleading with him to stop.
Bryan growled but took the dagger and put it in his belt. The male turned quickly on his feet beginning to walk away, his back tense. His little sister smilled and closed her eyes thankfull she won that round.
"Tyson, touch her again in any way, I'll kill you. Without hesitation." He walked forward than turned half way around, "Oh and by the way 'Prince," he spat the title. "She's mute, she can't answer you. I'm hunting." Bryan walked out of the camp, further into the woods than dissapered.
"Guess she wears the pants in that relationship," Tala mumbled relieved to say the least even if he didn't show it. Evenscence smacked him upside the head. "Ow! What was that for?"
"Thier siblings you idiot." Evenscence growled. "Thier not mates."
Tala grew red in embarrassment as he rubbed his head. Ray shook his head, his eyes and face grinning with unshed laughter compliments of his friend.
"Wow, that was interesting to say the least," Alexander (Kai) thought. "Too bad he didn't kill the boy though. Not that I could blame him, I wouldn't want the whole Dragon Kingdom after my head either. Although they probaly are now anyway."
"Good grief," Hiro thought. "I thought for sure Tyson was a gone for. He's lucky Lex got involved." The oldest one there looked at the sky, "About 4 hours before sundown. We should get moving if they want to eat any meat for dinner."
"We should get hunting," Rei voiced Hiro's thoughts trying to stop the silence that had taken over the camp.
"Hunt if you want too," Alexander (kai) voiced. "I'll stay here. Someone needs to protect the grounds."
"Okay, Rei and I will hunt. Tyson, you stay here." Tala called picking up his sword.
"What? Why do I have to stay here?" Tyson whined.
"Because," Tala looked at him. "Your growling stomach will give us away for miles."
"Hey!" Tyson forgot about all that had happened earlier and began to argue with Tala.
"Some things never change," Rei sighed.
"Does this happen often?" Ilyana asked.
"More than you know," Rei replied.
Ilyana laughed, "I hope they know how to stop. Or Bryan and Evenescence will have them both skinned like wild deer."
"Guys you shouldn't fight," Max goaned trying to sit up.
"Max!" Everyone turned and Spencer jumped to the boys side along with Evenesence with her bag in hand. "Your lips are parched," It was a statment, but Max nodded anyway. Spencer sighed and used the water skills that were his birthright to bring water from the tree and ground to Max's lips.
"Your part of the sea people," Max croaked, his voice barely understandable. He was so weak. "He shouldn't be in this stage so fast," Evenescence thought alarmed. She pulled back his shirt to look at the rash. "This isn't right."
"You shouldn't be this far gone," Evenesence voiced her fear aloud. "At this rate, you'll die in two days."
"What!" Tyson yelled. "I thought you said he had a week to eat the rose?"
Evenescence closed her eyes recalling all that she had learned from her mother and the others in her group about the disease. "I know what I said Tyson, but for some reason it's rapidly spreading faster than it should." She paused to check his pulse, it was extremely weak, but there. "He may not survive the night." She seemed worried.
"Is there anything you could do to slow it down?" Tala asked.
"No. But he needs to sleep and save all of his strength for tommrow," Evenescence looked down at the young man. She had seen her people treat many wounds and sometimes they would lose their patients. The young man in front of her was a different story, he was so young and full of life. "Max, I need you to chew on this. It'll help relax you and get you to sleep."
The boy nodded and took the herb from her hand into his mouth. "Thank you. I owe you a lot and I don't honestly know how to repay you if I get through it. Whats your name? I've forgotten it."
Her eyes widened at the seemingly random question. "Evenescence."
"Evenesence," the boy repeated. "I like it. It unique and wonderfull. Just like you. You're a good person Evenescence." Max fell asleep.
The young woman closed her eyes for a split second after he said those words. "Oh Max, you have no clue how wrong you are," she thought. "He should be watched and never alone," she voiced aloud. "Someone should be with him just in case."
"I'll stay with him," Spencer offered. "We can all take turns when were watching the campsite."
"Good idea," Hiro congradulated. "Tyson, you and Kai watch the grounds. Spencer stay with Evenescence and watch Max. The rest of us will start gathering some food and water along with fire wood. Understood."
Everyone nodded agreeing with the idea. Tyson however wanted to voice his oh so great argument against it. "Hold on there. I don't take orders from you and you can't tell me what to do." Tyson stood up with his arms crossed and his face narrowed.
"You are so stupid Tyson," Tala mumbled loud enough for the other to hear. "If you don't stay, we'll be leaving a sleeping and defenseless Max with a bunch of strangers. If you stay here, you can guard him and protect him while he can't. During this time, Ray and I will be hunting to find food that can't possibliy be poisoned by anyone here. If you haven't noticed, were surrounded by strangers we don't know and I don't trust. So like it or not, your staying."
Tyson sighed at the finale tone in the wolfs voice. Though he would never admit the wolf was right, he knew the finale tone ment no argument could change his mind. "Fine. I'll stay here, but I don't like it."
"Bruce, have you seen Tyson?" An aging woman walked into the room belonging to her husband. The private library had been a gift from the human king to the dragon a long time ago when he had noticed Bruce's intrest in the history books.
The tall black haired man looked up. He was dressed in a dark blue outfit matching his eyes. The outfit itself was simple, but still showed his high status as King. "No Ten. I haven't seen him all day today. Have you talked to his nurse?" Every prince had a nurse that looked after them day after day seeing to his every need. The nurse played the part a peasant woman would for thier son. In truth, the King and Queen's rarley even talked to thier offspring.
"Yes I have Bruce. She said he gave her a note yesturday with our signatures on it stating that he would not be in her care for today. She showed me the note," Ten pulled out a white paper with the seal of Dragoon on top. "It looks like our signatures, but we never sighned anything like this. I'm worried."
Bruce studied the paper between his fingers. "Have you talked to the other servants?"
"Yes. They haven't seen him all day either. I can't bear to loose another son Bruce. We NEED a desendant to take over the thrown." Her voice lacked any emotion as she talked about her child like he was an object. Years of training had stripped her of her motherly cares and she wouldn't let that slip now. She was a Queen with dignity and she was of Dragoon decent. She had to be strong.
"Tyson wouldn't do anything like this on his own. Call all the all the famlies togather. We're going to get to the bottom of this."
Ten nodded and walked poised outside to find every King and Queen in the castle to the storm room. The storm room was where the royal family met in security that no one could hear them through the walls. No maid, butler, or another could get into the room. It was perfectly safe from infultration or so they thought.
"What's the meaning of this Bruce?" Raymond the first asked an hour later in the storm room.
Most of the royal families sat around the circular table in the center wandering the same things. The women sat to the left of their husbands.
Bruce stood and looked at everyone in turn. "Do any of you know where your sons are?"
They looked at each other confused. "What do you mean Bruce?" Valarie asked. She had vibrant red hair and lovely facail features. Her husband sat beside her with a quiet attitude and percing blue eyes. His hair was a sleek grey from age.
"Tyson's missing."
The news hit everyone hard. "What do you mean he's missing?" Bruces' father looked sternly at his son.
"No ones seen a sign of him or a sign of your sons."
"Well of course they haven't seen a sign of Max, he's kidnapped remember." Queen Judy's voice was harsh and her eyes were still puffy from the crying. Unlike the Dragon Nation, the Water Nation believed feelings and emotions were important and they expressed them freely. Judy had always been close to her son despite the fact he'd practically been raised by his nurse didn't mean anything to her.
Brooklyn stood outside and knocked on the door hiding his smirk. Bruce had sent him out earlier to interoggate every servant in the house if they had found any trace of the missing princes. With the help of thrity men in the United Kingdom Forces, it took no time at all. No one had found a sign of the lost boys. "It's going to be eaiser than I thought," Tal mentally commented laughing inside at how everything was coming togather perfectly. It was his fate.
The door opened and Brooklyn quickly hurried in, his black wings folded back in a motion of respect. He bowed at the waste and stood to attention like any good commander of the United Kingdoms Forces would. The United Kindom Forces had come about in the Great War. When the other nations declared war on the Avian Nation, thier armies were united. After the war, the Nations kept the armies togather keeping peace and the Avians in thier place. Though each kindom was seperate with its own seperate customs and traditions, it was agreed that they unite under one whole system with basic rules for each nation. (Kinda like the U.S.A-One big Nation creating basic rules, the kings and queens are like the Presidents, Governors, and Congress for thier state. Each Kingdom is kinda like a state providing its own rules to fit thier own needs. Hope that explains it)
"Speak Brooklyn, have you found any sign of our sons?" Bruce commanded.
"No. Your sons are no where in the castle or the lands surrounding it as they should. My men checked every crack and talked to everyone here. No one has seen your sons since last night." Brooklyn reported with a fake look of pity. "Your Highness, do you think they left to look for the young Prince of the Seas?"
Every King and Queen at the table looked at each other. "Rei wouldn't do that," protested Raymonds wife. "He knows the guards are doing the best they can and he shouldn't risk his safety." Her tone however wasn't very convincing.
"Tala's run off before," Valarie's husband Victor commented.
"What do you mean he's run off before?" Valarie asked clueless as the rest of the families.
Victor sighed. "Tala tried running off several times before, but he never got past the main gate because of all the guards surrounding the city. He has on several occasions made it past the gate surrounding our home in the Demon lands. I never told you because I knew how it would dissipointe and dishonor you as well."
Valarie nodded and didn't say anything more.
"Tyson's reckless enough to do something like this. That boy never thinks before he acts sometimes and if he got it in his head to go after Max, than no one could stop him," Bruce growled. "Judy did the boys ever talk to you about looking for Max? Did they ever hint on leaving?"
"No, I haven't talked to them since Max was kidnapped and neither has my husband." The man beside her nodded agreeing.
"If they left last night, they could be in the woods by now." Bruce's father spoke looking around the room. "Most of the guards surrounding the city are on high alert looking for Max. They were in the city and around the cliff searching for your son," he looked at Judy. "It would be possible for all three of them to get past the gates, especially considering Tala's gotten that far before."
Bruce nodded along with the other members. "Those three are probaly in the woods surrounding the cliff or the city. I don't think they'll go much farther. We need to raise the alert without any of the villiagers finding out from any of the Nations. It's bad enough some of the Sea Nation citizens have started rioting and pointing fingers at each other for Max's dissaperance. If they find out almost a whole generation of Princes are missing we'll have chaos."
All of the members agreed not being able to fight with Bruce's knowlege. He was right. "Someone should get in contact with Morgan and Kayla. They've been touring the east cities with thier son Wyatt. They should come back immediately until we figure out whats going on," Ten pointed out. "We don't need to loose the heir to the human Nation either." Mummers in agreement passed.
"All those agree say aye," Bruce commanded.
"Aye!"
Brooklyn stood in the forest confidently waiting on his "master". The poor old fool didn't know he was just using him to gain access to the thrown. It was midnight when lights from torches appeared in the distant. "Right on time," Brooklyn thought. In the Avians hand was a note written by the Princes explaining exactly what they were doing. He didn't give it over to the Kings and Queens. Better they get over the lose of their Princes now because if everything went according to plan, those four were never coming home again.
"Brooklyn."
"Boris," Brooklyn replied to the male in front of him. Boris was a plain human, but he was powerfull with many followers behind him. He was not someone you wanted to tangle with.
"You have news for me?" the vile man asked.
"Yes. Turns out the Princes have decided to make our job eaiser." Boris raised an eyebrow. "They've decided to go after the young Prince of the Seas themselves." He handed the note to Boris and watched a freaky smile appear on the elders face.
"So, it seems our plan can go faster now that their out of the way," Boris commented. "Give the parents some time to breath and for the human royalty to come home. Search for these three and have them killed. If you can't find them, than we'll start killing off the parents one by one. Don't make a move until I contact you."
"Yes sir," Brooklyn commented before turning sharply and walking away.
"Miriah, I don't think this is a good idea," a brown haired woman in a light pink dress protested to her friend. Miriah was a pink lover. Almost everything she owned or wore was pink, from her hair down to her shoes. She was of elven descent and loved speaking her mind.
"Oh quite being such a baby Hilary, we have to do this. Do you honestly want to get married now?" Miriah asked looking at the younger girl. The elven was three inches taller than the petite dragon. Hilary wore her hair short unlike the other, and wore a simple grey dress. Normally Hilary was outspoken, but she had always obeyed the rules. This was another difference between the two.
"You're right," Hilary sighed after a while. "I'm to young to get married." She smilled at Miriah, "Let's do this. They won't know were gone until late evening tomarrow at the earliest."
"Right," Miriah replied quickly. Silently they walked around the wagon hiding their shadows. Miriah put a hand down to the ground asking mother earth to move a rock not to far away into a pile of sticks. They held their breath waiting for the destraction. Hilary could have yelled in pleasure as the rock did exactly that and five of their escorts went to investigate. The two young women ran into the night carrying two bags of personal belongings with them.
Me: Well, that was a lot of information and a long chapter. Hope it satisfied most of you! Please review and let me know what you think. I love flames! I wish I could flame my lying cheating no good boyfriend. Oh and by the way just so you know, I dumped HIM yesturday and I've never felt better. Life is good, so go on and live it!
