"Dad?"
A lump forms in my throat and I gently shut the door behind me. "Rebecca" He replies formely. He was wearing a white shirt under a black waistcoat, he wore dress trousers and his black hair was combed off his face.
"I'll let you two have some privacy" And he shuffles out the door.
"How have you been Rebecca?" My father sits down into one of the chairs, gesturing for me to sit down. I don't move, "Dad, what are you here for?" He sighs, "Can a father not just come around and say hello to his only daughter?" I clench my fists. "What about Bonnie?" I hated how he never showed her any attention. Bonnie was a girly girl, no doubt about that, and dad has always hated it. "She is with your mother" He says simply and I cross my arms. "I ask AGAIN, Why are you here?"
"Henry's medical bills have...increased, I'd like you to start doing athletics again" He was asking me for MONEY? I hated Henry! He is my dickhead stepbrother, and dad KNOWS I hate him. "Why is he in hospital now?" I cross my arms. "Some thugs attacked him whilst he was out" In otherwords, he picked a fight he knew he couldn't win. "Dad, you have NO RIGHT to ask me to do something like that. I'm staying at Kadic" His anger lights like a match. "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! He is your BROTHER, and I am your FATHER. I didn't spend hundreds of dollars getting you personal trainers and fitness coaches for you not to compete in sport!" He yells at me, his face going red. "I NEVER ASKED FOR THOSE GODDAMN LESSONS!" I shout back, the bell goes off and I sigh, "I'm going to recess" I yank the door open and storm out of the office. "REBECCA!" He yells at me and I continue down the hall; there were already students coming down the hall and I feel an iron grip encase my arm. "Dad, LET GO" I glare up at him and his grip tightens. "No, you are coming home with me and that's FINAL" People were starting to stare, "Dad, I'm NOT COMING BACK WITH YOU", "REBECCA, are you really going to ABANDON your BROTHER?"
I yank my arm back. "YES, I AM. You know why? Because he wouldn't give a rat's ass if I feel off a cliff into a sea of sharks. He is an ASSHOLE. He had it COMING and I for once in my life am HAPPY here. If you want to go spend money on someone, WHY not Bonnie? Her hospital bills are high enough, and we both know mom isn't doing the best. So guess what dad? Next time you want to spend so much GODDAMN money on someone. Spend it on someone who actually cares! I wish my mother had NEVER married you because she deserves better then the likes of yo-"
SLAP!
The crowd gasps and I wince at the pain in my right cheek " , that'll do" was standing next to us, When did he get there? "I must ask you to leave" My father glares at me before reluctantly walking down the hall.
"So what was all that hub bub about?" Odd asks me through a mouthful of mashed potatoes. "Just my dad asking for money" I sigh and rub my cheek, it was going to be bruised later. "THAT was your dad?" I shrug and sip my cola, "Who was who's dad?' I look up to see Aelita and Ulrich standing next to the table. "Rebecca's dad came and asked her for money" They both sit down and I grab the apple off Odd's tray.
"Hey!"
"Suck it up, you ate my breakfast"
I take a chunk out of the apple and look at Aelita and Ulrich, "So what are your parents like?" Aelita shifts uncomfortably and Ulrich lets out a sigh of frustration, "Annoying, my dad is always pissed off about something and my mom has a problem with not realising what's happening between dad and I"
"I hear you brother" I say leaning back in my chair. "What about you Aelita?" Aelita swallows and the area around us grows quieter. "Uh..My father is somewhere on the network...He had to escape from XANA but he can't leave or he may be attacked" I put my can down. "Aelita..I'm sor-"
"Rebecca!" I turn my head and jump back, falling out of my seat at the three girls in front of me. Sissi. Tamiya. Milly. "Yes! We would like to ask a couple of questions! First, Does your father hit you often? What is the problem with your mom and who is this 'Bonnie' person?" Sissi starts dropping questions left and right and I am left tongue-tied. "Uh.." Odd quickly steps in, "Sissi, give the poor girl a break!" I jump as my phone suddenly goes off.
From Jeremy
Activated Tower!
"Come on guys, I'd rather hang out with Jeremy and William, I've been nothing BUT gossip for the last couple of weeks. It's really annoying" And I walk out, Odd, Ulrich and Aelita following.
"Come on guys!" We speed down the corridors of the school, our footsteps echoing around the hallways. "Whoa!" I grind to a halt, Odd and Ulrich slamming into me as I stare at the long shape in front of me. "Is that a..snake?" It's scales were a shimmery green shade and it's eyes were like black diamonds. "Uh..guys" I look above the snake to see several students and , each holding something that I could very well say was usable as a weapon.
"Odd, take Aelita and Beck to the factory, quick!" I feel Odd tug on my arm and I hurry down the halls with them. "Wait a sec!" I quickly duck down the opposite hall and knock on Door 5D. "Um.. Yes?" The teacher looks at me in confusion; "Yes, could Miss. Ishiyama please come with me to the principal's office?" Yumi looks up and I nod. "Uh..Yes" And we gained another.
"Let's go!"
"Oww..." I rub my butt as I land, rump first in the mountain sector. The sector consisted of purplish rocks and twisted trees; "Very graceful Rebecca" Yumi chuckles and she quickly pulls me up. "Hey Jeremy, mind sending us a couple of taxi's?" Odd calls up and I watch as Yumi's overwing and Odd's overboard slowly piece together.
"The tower is North By North East!"
I wave my hand over my bracelet and I feel my wings sprout out of my back. "Lets go!" I pull my shurikens off the straps and begin hurtling towards the tower, Aelita next to me.
The tower is in sight after a couple of minutes and I drop back to the ground. "Go Aeli-" I watch in shock as Aelita is shot, half-way through the towers base. "Aelita!" I run towards her but stop when a spark of pain runs through my leg, I drop to the ground and stare in shock. The monsters NEVER shot at me. "This just got interesting..." I quickly fling one of my shurikens in front of my face as the several Krabs appear from behind a huge boulder. "Yumi!" I jump up and spin around in time to see Yumi devirtualised by William.
When the hell did he get there?!
"Thats not fair! She didn't even get to try the krab sticks!" I laugh at Odd's joke before hurling my shurikens at the Krabs; one of them slices through a Krabs head whilst the other misses entirely. "Energyfield!" I watch as Aelita forms two balls of energy in her hands before hurling them at the Krabs. They fizzle a bright pink color before exploding,"Nice shot Aelita!".
"MANTA"
I turn to William and watch as a Manta flies up from the platform below, Odd was nowhere in sight. "Dude! We JUST got rid of the Krabs!" I hurl the shurikens at the Manta, it easily ducks out of the way and the shurikens return to me, but they where going to fast and on contact, they cause my hands to start crackling. "Ah!" I watch as William hurls a ball of smoke at Aelita and she goes flying back.
Off the edge of the mountain.
"AELITA!" I run at the edge and slide to my knees.
"Wait, Rebecca."
I hear William chuckle and I turn just in time to deflect a shot from the Manta.
"Rebecca behind you!"
William was looking across the sea to a platform further across. A beautiful pink orb had risen out of the sea and was moving towards the platform of rock.
"Rebecca! PROTECT that orb! It's Franz Hopper!"
"Who?" I hurl the shurikens at William and the manta, the manta explodes, however William deflects it with the blade of his sword.
"AELITA'S FATHER!"
'My father is somewhere on the network'
I turn around in time to see Aelita carefully placed at a safe distance from the edge before Franz starts to move towards the sea again. "BLOCK!" William yells and I watch as a huge block digitalises and starts shooting at Franz. "No!" I call back my shurikens before hurling myself off the platform and summoning my wings. I see a long trail of smoke above the surface of the digital sea and I watch as William appears a couple feet away from Franz. "Shit!" I land on the platform and hurl my shurikens at the block.
"BECK, HURRY UP!"
"I'm doing all I can!" I run at William and kick him square in the chest. He stumbles back and I look over to see the block gone and I call back my shurikens; they attach to my legs in seconds. "Crap!" I drop to the ground as William draws back his sword and swings; projecting a burst of energy. It hits Franz and I grimace as my head hits the rock, "Uhh..." I watch as William walks past me and heads towards Franz. He draws back his sword.
"It's all over..."
I sprint for William, shurikens in hand. I leap forward, landing on the blade of William's sword and am thrown forward as he swings.
Everything slows down.
The energy was moving torwards the orb.
I was hurling behind it.
Think!
I hurl the shurikens at William who still had his arms open from the technique and I throw my torso down.
The energy is gone.
William was smouldering away.
I couldn't feel anything and last thing I see is Franz dropping over the edge before I feel my body piece away.
My mind was somewhat fuzzy and I flinch when someone wraps their arms around me before I recognize it as Aelita. "Thank you...You saved him" I smile and hug her back.
"Return to the Past now!"
"Dad, I LOVE it here at Kadic, it's the best school I've EVER been to and I have so many friends! Dad, I'll go back into athletics if you want. But can we at least wait until the school holidays? That way I wouldn't miss any school either. Please?" I look up to my father and his face was nothing but deep thinking. "Sure, you seem happy enough anyway" I let out a whoop of joy and I wrap my arms around his neck. "Thanks dad" I whisper and he hugs me back. Why couldn't we be like this ALL the time? "By the way" He pulls back, "I've heard from Mr and Mrs Blackfield" My face fell. "Yes?" He half smiles, "He's ALOT better, he should be getting out in a couple of days" Tears of joy run down my face and I waved good-bye to him that day as happy as a child on Christmas.
"You seem in a good mood Beck" Aelita asks at recess, "Yeah.. You know, I never really realised how important my friends and family are until now" And I pull her into a hug.
"And how much I'm realising you guys ARE my family"
