isthatnecessary - Oh yes, Tyson's one of your favourites! Don't worry... He has a reason for being so...unlike himself! Not like it's a good thing but anyway, I will give him a nice big slap with the largest fish I can find... I'm sure that will wake him up! Oh. You got it on the second try! I don't know why I choose Emily to be exact I think it was easier to mix--coughs- Nevermind. Anywa don't worry too much about Kai... He'll get better...some time. O.o Thanks for reviewing! Sorry for the hold up in chapter updating-ness!
Chapter 7
Kai grumbled as he walked through the corridors, hands shoved in pockets and looking at the ground. He just couldn't be bothered with anything today, like he had been feeling for the past few months. Most of the fans were still in the main stadium watching their favourite sport.
The cold blader frowned as he heard someone walk behind him, turning around he wondered why it was so cold here. Glancing around he noticed what seemed like a security guard that suddenly closed an emergency door - why had it been opened anyway?
It didn't concern him and continued to walk towards the stadium where his team was supposedly losing. He knew that Tala would have hit him back, in fact he should have hit him back, the confusing thing was why he didn't, but Kai dismissed it since Tala was one of the ones that thought he was crazy. Probably Tala thought that Kai was going to kill him if he dared to strike back.
Crunch. Kai frowned and took a step back wondering what he had stepped on, crouching down he noticed it was a pair of glasses. Why would someone just leave their glasses? If they wore them all of the time then they would know they were missing and would find them, so why on earth were they just laying here. Kai looked around, and decided he may as well put them in the bin since he had broken them.
He frowned again when he noticed Judy and Michael walking towards him. Great just what I need. He sighed as they gave him a confused and curious look to why he was holding something.
"Is it true that you injured Michael?" Kai didn't bother answering he knew that Judy already knew what happened, even if it wasn't the complete truth. Michael was standing looked quite pleased with himself. Maybe I should hit him again? He glared at the other boy and suddenly felt the glasses frame being lifted out of his hands.
"Where is Emily?" It was Judy's turn to frown and look as if she were about to kill someone, "How should I know?" Kai didn't like the tone that Judy was using, yes she was a friend's mother but still she was sounding as if he had done something and Kai wasn't happy about it.
No one had seen Emily, they only knew that she was away to find Kai, even Judy had some concern on the whereabouts of the female blader. Kai went to walk past Judy and Michael but was suddenly stopped when Michael once again said something.
"Where did you get those glasses from? They look like Emily's, you know." Michael glared not worried if he got hit by Kai again. Judy was here and if she saw it then Kai would be in more trouble than he would realise.
"I found them." Kai shrugged off the question wondering if he could just be left alone without being accused of something. He'd killed his mother why wouldn't everyone just leave him alone like he deserved.
"Where?" Judy looked down the corridor and then back to Kai, who just motioned towards the middle of the corridor. "Just there. I'm sure you can find glass on the floor easily." Kai rolled his eyes, he had only found them because he had broken them and shattered most of the glass out of the lenses and into tiny pieces.
"Wait a moment." Although Kai had had enough and walked briskly away from her, he just couldn't be anywhere near Michael - it seemed that they had started off on the wrong foot and now nothing would change that.
"Kai there you are." Max noticed the blue-haired blader first and the rest walked towards him as quickly as possible wondering where he had been. "Yeah we were getting worried. Buddy…" Tyson smiled and hoped that Kai hadn't done anything, though he quickly answered that silent question.
"I've already punched Michael and Tala, get out of my way." He cruised past them and sat down on a bench hoping that he could for once in his life, get out of the stadium as soon as possible.
"What?" Rei blinked unsure on what he had heard, had Kai really punched two people already? Maybe they should have just forced him to stay, but then again keeping him from the world wasn't going to help. "You heard." Kai scowled and closed his eyes, knowing fine well what was going to happen.
"Max." A voice called from the corridors, obviously Judy and she didn't sound happy at all. She glanced over each beyblader and rested her gaze on Max for a moment before searching for the one she wanted to speak about.
"What is it mum?" Max tilted his head unsure on why his mother looked so angry and slightly red in the face, which only meant she was very annoyed. "Emily has gone missing, have you seen her?" She asked politely to her son, he frowned and tried to think if he had, there was a short silence.
"No, sorry." He smiled sadly knowing that he hadn't been able to help his mother though he couldn't help but notice the evil and hated looks Kai was recieving from Judy and Michael.
"Well, Kai care to explain then?" Judy placed her hands on her hips and wondered if she was going to have to talk to Kai one-on-one or simply yell until he gave in and told her what had happened to Emily. She doubted that Kai hadn't seen her, all she wanted to know was that she hadn't disappeared. All Kai did was open his eyes and look up at the blonde woman with a blank expression,
"Explain what?"
"Emily was looking for you to ask you about what you done to Michael - we find you with her glasses, so you must have seen her." There was no immediate response from Kai, and the rest of the BladeBreakers wondered if there was something that Kai was keeping from the group.
"I haven't spoken to Emily." He closed his eyes again only to be accused by Michael again, the BladeBreakers were wondering if they should try to intervine though Tyson wasn't paying much attention..."Liar!" Michael yelled, this caused Kai to stand up and glare at the older teenager, he hissed his words through gritted teeth.
"Why would I lie?"
Another short pause as Michael tried to think of something to annoy Kai with. He was one of the large fraction of people that had no idea what Kai had been through throughout the years. "Because you're pissed that you got caught hitting me, stuck-up brat," He yelled back, only to have Judy come to the defence of Kai.
"Stop it Michael!" He was acting like a child, why was he so annoyed at Kai when all he was doing was standing there. Maybe he was just uneasy because he was acting so different? Or maybe it was because Emily was missing? Kai looked down at the floor as Michael's words slowly seeped through, only have his firey personality to deal with the insult.
"I dare you to say that again!" He whispered threateningly, though Michael didn't seem to see the warning signs and the BladeBreakers knew that it meant Kai was on the boarder line of hurting someone.
"Kai, please just calm down." Rei looked nervously between Kai and Michael hoping that he wouldn't say anything else. "What's wrong with you? Did you lose your credit card?" Michael sneered, the mark on his face becoming more and more distinct. Kai clenched his hands and it appeared that every one of the BladeBreakers saw it and immediately got ready for something to happen.
Kai looked up and sneered himself, "I'll kill you!" Before Michael or Judy knew what was happening Kai was being held back by Rei and Tyson while Max stood in front trying to calm him down. Judy shook her head and glared at Michael knowing that he had obviously said something that had offended him. "Michael, stop it, go back to where the rest of the team is waiting." She ordered and Michael was about to go until he thought of another way of annoying Kai. "
You mean the rest of the team - minus Emily." Judy turned to look and glare at him and made sure he got a very stern look just to show how childish he was being. "Michael go, now." He grumbled but left quickly, wanting to stay to see what Kai's excuse would be.
"You have some explaining to do - all of you." She had placed together the fact that Kai wasn't playing and this suddenly surprising anger issue, she had heard what had happened even if it was only in some minor detail. Enya Hiwatari died… It wasn't on the news for much longer than an hour as the Hiwatari siblings had banned any coverage on it.
Tyson looked nervously between Judy and Kai, knowing that only something bad was going to come out of this 'explaining.' He sighed and slowly walked with everyone else to one of the more private locker rooms hoping he wouldn't be asked about the whole death of Enya.
"Let me go!" Emily screamed hoping that someone would come for her or at least get this freaky guy away from her. She had been shoved into a van and gagged, the confusing thing was, it was as if this guy wanted to hear her yell and that was why he took the gag off as soon as they reached here. Where ever this place was.
"Scream if you want to… No one will hear you." He muttered he knew that no one would come since he had monitored the place for a few weeks to see if anyone came and broke in but it was a silly old car repair shop that most had forgotten about. The rumour that snakes lived and bred near it put off even the most curious child.
"What do you want? Money?" She wasn't poor, and that was because she would play and usually win any tennis match that would come up which meant she could usually spent the winnings on more beyblade gear. "No…I will not succumb to wanting material valuables." He stated loudly, as if it were a stupid thing to say.
"So what the hell do you want you bastard?" Emily yelled, while being dragged, she could hardly think about what was happening - and then the man let her go, letting her fall to the ground in an uncomfortable position. "Do not swear!" He commanded.
Emily looked around wondering where she was, being gagged in the van was bad enough but there was a horrible smell of old grass and oil. "What do you want…? Why me…?" Emily whimpered knowing that she wouldn't be able to escape, not now that she didn't have any vision.
"We will never know why things end until it does…" He muttered, she heard him walk away wondering what he was doing, she heard something hiss, and even a few distinct rattles but thought that maybe it was some sort of machinery that was going to be used.
"What are you doing….?" She spoke softly hoping that the man would pity her and let her go, she had to think of a way to keep him from hurting her, she wanted to live.
His answer came in a proud and happy tone. "Lazy people...Should be punished accordingly."
"Which means?" Emily gulped, trying to stop any tears from falling just yet, she could still try to talk her way out of this… She heard the man come closer, and quickly grabbed her, lifting her up roughly. "I will have to let the devil himself deal with you…." Emily wondered how she could convince someone that believed he was doing a good thing when it was actually against the law.
"The devil himself? What are you talking about! Let me go!" Emily screamed and yelled, trying to pull away and just run in any old direction, if she did get away then she wouldn't even be able to identify the madman. She was hopeless when she didn't have her glasses.
"You shouldn't make too much noise. I mean they will get angry with you if you do." The man whispered, but Emily managed to hear most of what he said and frowned wondering where exactly he was taking her. "They?"
"Goodbye, I hope you reach heaven safely. I will be back to collect you." He walked away again, this time she was sure he was walking quite far away as his loud footsteps slowly got quieter.
"Wait! Please let me go, I - I'm always active. I've always done something, please! Just let me go!" She couldn't believe she was going to get hurt - or maybe even killed just because someone thought that she was lazy. She was sure, positive that there were others out there that were even lazier than what she was.
"If I go back on my word then I am no different from you. Also I spent months preparing this for you. Just you…..." He sounded sincere as if he was happy that she was here now. As if he was happy that he was sending her to her death.
"Who are you?" Emily wanted to know who was doing this to her, if there was such a place as heaven or if she could come back as some sort of ghost then she wanted to make this guys life a living hell.
"I am an Angel sent to kill your sins." Emily's mind had heard something like that before, but where? She frowned as her blurry vision began to give her a sore head, she looked around hoping to see another person but there was no one else there. It was completely deserted.
"Angel…? Wait you're that guy!" She had finally remembered the vandalism on that monument she had never really taken it very seriously until that body had suddenly appeared. Then again she never once thought she would be the next victim.
There was a loud banging noise as if a door had been closed, and Emily felt herself being lifted up onto some sort of hook. She yelped in surprised as the hook shook, "Ah!" She couldn't see what was below her, but she knew it wasn't burning acid or something like that. Slowly she was lowered down into the dark abyss that Emily's eyesight could not focus in on. The hissing and rattles were back.
"Oh my god…oh my god…Stay calm…" Emily muttered to herself while the hook was slowly lowered, she caught a distinct feeling that she was being lowered into a pit, and she guessed that she wouldn't be able to get out until she was dead. "Please…no…" She felt her feet touch the floor and the hook continued to go lower to unhook itself from her. As it slowly made its way back up, Emily tried to hold or grip it again just so she could get out.
Lights flickered on, and Emily squinted her eyes trying to make out what was in the same room as her, but all she needed to do was listen as the hissing and rattling got louder and closer. "Just don't make any sudden movements…and I'll be fine…Perfectly fine…" She started to take steps back hoping that she wouldn't step on any other snakes.
She heard the angry hiss behind her, yelping she jumped again, though only to jump onto a snake's tail. The animals reflex was much faster than the brunettes and struck the girls knee again and again, blood began to seep freely from the wounds. Emily sobbed out in pain, and tried to move away only to annoy another bunch of snakes that had been nesting close by.
Emily started to shout knowing that she had in fact just been poisoned as she could feel it making its way through her system. The other snakes began to move in direction of Emily, not being fed in a short while, fangs pierced the girls skin as if it were mere paper, ready for their next meal.
"Someone help me!" Emily screamed loudly hoping that there was someone that had heard her. Another bite in the back of the thigh meant that the pain was too unbearable and she fell to the ground unable to get back up as countless snakes made their way onto the girl, covering her as if they were living ropes.
"He-l-p…m….e." Emily gasped as all of the poison began to make quick work of all of her organs and nerves. Closing her eyes she slowly drifted off to where there was no longer pain.
Author's Note: Did I just kill Emily? I did…. No one is safe in this fic anymore! –cackles evilly- Well please review!
