With my arms wrapped around Moordryd's waist I kissed him back, still trying to get my head around the fact that Moordryd had kissed me this time. And as we broke apart I had a smile on my face though I did feel somewhat confused and not letting go of me Moordryd grinned.
"Look I do like you but I have a reputation to keep. I'd like to be your boyfriend but..." He trailed off not sure what to say next and thinking I'd get angry at him he cringed waiting for the tirade. But I wasn't angry at him for telling me the truth.
"I think I understand. Kind of. You're the leader of the Dragon Eyes and I guess I can't be seen with you." I sighed my arms slipping from his waist and as he saw the pain in my eyes he realized that I was upset. "I'm sorry I trusted you." I whispered and as I pushed past him I tried to stop the tears that flowed from my eyes but before I could leave the tent Moordryd grabbed my arm and I whirled around.
"For dragon's sake will you listen? I never said we couldn't be together just not in public." Moordryd explained and I glared at him so furious I wanted to mag blast him. "What's wrong now?"
"So we can't let anyone know that we might have feelings for each other? That we have to go behind everyones back? Are you out of your mind?" I growled and his grey eyes narrowed, clearly as annoyed as me. "You think you can just toy with my feelings and decide how our relasionship works to your benefit?" I shouted and as everyone came running I shoved him out of my path and stormed past as the Penn Racing crew and the Dragon Eyes entered the tent, wondering what all the fuss was about. As I stormed past, wiping my eyes with the back of my hand, Cain and Artha both exchanged a look of surpise before they noticed Moordryd standing at the back of the tent eyes wide. Before anyone could stop me I climbed on Quiksilva's back and after asking him to get me away from everyone he shot away, using his superiour speed to rush away and once we were a safe distance away I sobbed.
Quiksilva began to slow as he looked up at my face and as my shoulders shook he gave a growl and pretty soon he stopped, clearly concerned about me. But I stayed on his back and as I cried he gave a shocked snort as I buried my face in my hands. Frustrated he couldn't be understood by me his amber eyes watched intently as I sobbed and even when my cries went silent he saw an almost hollow look on my face and he sighed. Very gently he magged me from his back and once I landed in front of him my dragon nudged my gauntlet, trying to get me to become the Light Booster. It took me a few seconds before I understood and once I slid the medallion into the gauntlet there was a bright light. As my clothes changed to a familar white armor Quiksilva gave a roar as his body changed to pure white. The moment he changed he spoke to me and I sniffed as he asked me what had happened between me and the 'white haired guy'.
"He...says he likes me...but he doesn't..." I sniffed as fresh tears began to streak down my face and he sighed gently nuzzling my face.
"Its okay, Rayne. Let's go and talk." Quiksilva suggested and after giving him a nod he magged me. As he took off I held onto his neck and as he ran he gave me his opinon. "You shouldn't see him again. He only hurts you and I can't stand seeing you so miserable."
"But...I like him...what do I do?" I sniffed and he sighed not really understanding my confusion. "I want to go home." I finally sobbed breaking down and he slowed before he found a secluded spot and as I jumped down, not giving him a chance to mag me, he stared at me with his big amber eyes.
"But you don't know where home is." Quiksilva pointed out regretting it as I burst into tears. Not that I wasn't already miserable but that just pushed me past my emotional limit and I sta heavily on the ground. Of course wearing a helmet and crying weren't a great combination and having my visor fogged up made my vision blurry. "Sorry I didn't mean that." He muttered as he attempted to find a distraction for me. Of course right there and then nothing came to mind and as I sobbed harder, wanting to be home and safe with my family, I heard a laugh and when I finally looked up I saw a face I really didn't need to see.
"You!" I shouted as I jumped to my feet and threw a mag-blast at the Shadow Booster who knocked it away with his Jack stick. "What do you want?!" I shouted as he stared at me from under his helmet before he chuckled.
"Huh Moordryd Paynn did say you're a hothead and now I see that proof." He said and my eyes narrowed at him. "I didn't come here to fight you." He told me and I lowered my hand the mag energy I had built up in my palm glowed then vanished before I took a step toward him, still very cautious. "Instead I came to make a deal with you." He added and I froze as he jumped down and as he walked towards me my eyes narrowed.
"What kind of deal exactly?" I asked curious despite being very untrusting of him and he chuckled as he moved closer. "Back off." I muttered but he just kept walking until he was standing over me and to Quiksilva's surprise I didn't move away. "I said back off!" I yelled as I tried to punch him and he dodged grabbing my arm and pulling it backwards behind my back. Off balance I gasped from the pain before I growled at him and threw a punch with my other arm only for the booster to kick out. Slamming his leg into mine I stumbled and fell to my knees and as Quiksilva went to my aid he was knocked backwards by a mag-blast, hitting the wall behind me. "Leave him alone!" I yelled all control gone and that's when the Shadow Booster laughed confusing me and making me stare at him.
"I won't hurt him or you if you stay still." The Shadow Booster told me and I went quiet as Quiksilva groaned struggling to his feet and after a long moment I sighed, not sure what was going to happen to us. Knowing that the Shadow Booster was a match, both in power and fighting ability, with the Dragon Booster and I was untrained I knew that the best idea was to keep calm and look for a way out.
But as I stood there, breathing hard as I glanced at my dragon I wasn't prepared for the Shadow Booster to lunge forward and thinking he was going to attack me I closed my eyes. But instead to feeling pain I instead felt a warm sensation on my lips and thinking I was bleeding I slowly opened my eyes only to find the Shadow Booster with an arm wrapped tightly around my waist and in seconds I discovered that the warm feeling wasn't blood but the booster's lips on mine. I would have gasped in shock but all that emerged was an purr before I reached around and wrapping my free arm around his waist I hungryly kissed him back as Quiksilva watched on in surprise, his jaw dropping.
