Beyblade Fan Fiction ❯ A Slayed Angel ❯ Chapter 9

[ P - Pre-Teen ]
I was only trying to keep the walls from closing in
I was only waiting 'round for something to begin
I was only seventeen
I told you that it didn't mean a thing.

Karlene sighed as she leaned back into the plush over stuffed
chair in her and her boyfriends room, she was busy wondering what
had happened to her friends. She and her friend CJ, Cj's little Brother
Grady, their little Sister Neca and Neca's best friend Natalie had vanished
as soon as they arrived in Russia. Karlene smiled when she felt two warm
hands cover her shoulders, she reached up with her own hands and covered
the ones on her shoulders, "ya know you shouldn't try to sneak up on your loved one"
she stated.

Feels like a million years ago
Small town where everybody knows
Everything about everybody else
Way back when there wasn't you and me
I guess I was still naive
And the moment was as far as I could see
I was only trying to keep the walls from closing in
I was only waiting 'round for something to begin
I was only seventeen
I told you that it didn't mean a thing
Why can't you just love me
Please don't push too hard
The truth you think you're after
Might just break your heart.

Robert lifted her up into his arms then sat back down in the chair
as he held her close to him, his strong arms wrapped around her waist,
he knew he was so lucky to have her, she was everything to him he
loved her more then anything. Robert remembered how they first met,
he had been waiting to meet Johnny he watched as a young woman
with long black hair that was in a long braid all the way down to her
knees, her blood red eyes as hard and deadly as a knife, she was
wearing snug black jeans and a black narrow strapped tank-top, that
said in big red letters 'By the end of the night I'm gonna have you
whipped, or hand-cuffed your choice' and black leather gloves
that ended at her elbow. At first Robert was just sneering someone
asking himself why no one ever tried to have manners, then a stray
thought of breath taking this mere girl was had him second guessing
himself, this girl was so uncouth it should upset him but he found
himself watching her.

Someone who I thought was my friend
But sometimes people just pretend
And I would never be the same again. Karlene snuggled deeper into Roberts chest making his arms
tighten around her, he without thought start to play with the end
of her braid making her purr lightly, he chuckled before going back
to his thoughts. Things hand't gone well when they had started
talking but for some strange reason he found he couldn't stay away,
in fact if he hadn't gone to see her, she'd be dead right now instead
of lounged in his arms.

He had gone to talk to her somemore but when he had knocked on
her door no one answered, not worried he knocked again and four
more times before, upset, worried and confused he broke down her
door, searching around her apartment he finally found her in the
bathroom laying in a pool of her own blood. Robert quickly rushed
over to her and stopped the blood flow from her wrists, after that
was done he called 911, then the rest of The Majestics then held her
as he waited for help.

Robert was rosed from his memories when he felt Karlene
shiver against his chest, picking her up he walked to the bed,
sitting her down on it he turned around to change for bed that done
he changed her for bed as well. Slipping under the covers and pulling
her closer Robert allowed himself to relax, as he drifted off to sleep.
I was only trying to keep the walls from closing in

Might just break your heart.

The next morning Karlene watchs from a window in an old
castle as Robert teachs that kid Tyson a leason, knowing just by
looking at him the one with the blue marks on his face is Kai, and
that Natalie will be with him soon. She wonders breifly what
Nattie is going to say when she see's Neca cheering on Tala,
more then anything Natalie would be amused, she wouldn't be
angry she'd be laughing so hard tears would stream
down her face and Kai would be so worried about her he'd
forget he's a big badass.

I'm sure there are things you would rather keep inside
I won't ask you about all the things you've tried
Don't let yesterday get in the way
Why can't we just start from where we are.

She sits next to Robert and watchs as Kai loses Dranzer to
Spencer, Karlene looks through the stands and sees Neca casting
a glare fit to kill at Tala while Tala's eyes soften at the sight of her.
Karlene also watchs as Natalie cries for Dranzer knowing
how much Kai loved his bit-beast, Karlene writes a note to Nattie
and gives it to Merrick who is now beside her, Merrick is a solid
black wolf but he is also the only bit-beast besides Shayla to live
without a bit. She watchs as Merrick returns to Nattie and stands
watch over her as she reads the note, Karlene watchs knowingly
as Natalie gives Kai a glance filled with longing only to turn and
go. She is brought out of her finding by Robert going to talk to the
Blade Breakers standing she knows that things will turn out right,
Neca and Nattie had never been given easy childhoods but if anyone
could turn a soldiers heart of stone to a lovers heart
of fire it would be the only two Fire Dancers left in the world.
