Puppets and Roses

(Chapter 2)Let It Rip!

I was running behind Valt with Credence in my pocket.

I hope nothing will go wrong", I thought to myself.

,,Come on Eri we're here!", Valt cheered.
,,Well finally your here", a voice said:,, We'd thought you weren't going to come this early".

As I looked up I saw a raven haired boy with a Bandana on his head and tiny skulls hanging from the Bandana.

He kinda looks scary

,,Eri", Valt turned to me:,, meet the guys! My friends!".
I looked at all of them and they were smiling at me.
I thought it rude when I didn't smile back so I gave them my best smile.

,,This is Daigo", Valt started pointing a finger at each one of them:,, that's Rantaro, over there is Shu and that right there is Wakiya!".

I scanned all of them.

,,You probably know why your here, right?", Shu asked.
,, I do", I answered in a small sentence.

,, Wait a minute! If your scared of blading that means that you don't have your own Bey, right?", Wakiya asked leaning into a tree.

,,Wakiya!", Valt yelled while Wakiya responded with rolling his eyes:,, What? It's a normal question isn't it? Can't I ask anything around here......jeez".

,, Valt it's alright, no need to rush it", I tried calming my brother down.
,,And for your information blond ponytail, I indeed to have my own Bey",I answered Wakiya's question.

,,Then were is that ,,Bey" of yours Eri?", Wayika asked.

I already got annoyed, pulling out Credence and showing it to everyone:,, Here's my Bey!".

Everyone was shocked except Wakiya:,, What are you guys glaring at? It's just a Bey".
,,A pretty awesome looking Bey!", Rantaro screamed.
,,It has some amazing texture",Daigo complimented.
,,Yeah, not too shaggy", Shu added.

,,That's excavated what I said when I first saw it!", Valt yelled.

,,Anyways, Valt told us that your scared of blading, correct?", Shu asked.
I nodded.
Shu then crossed his arms:,, Is there a specific reason why?".
I stood still not moving a muscle of Shu's question.

I couldn't possibly tell them WHY I'm so scared of blading! Only Valt knows about this and he kept a promise that he won't say it, not to a single living soul!

,, There is a specific reason why, but Eri doesen't like talking about it", Valt answered Shu's question without hesitation.
I sighed in relief.
Valt always had my back, since I was adopted in his family.
He was always on my side no matter the cost. He's like a brother I never had!
And I'm proud of it.

Shu sighed:,, I understand ".

I stood there:,, So....who will I be....up against?",I asked nervously.

Valt was about to yell that he wants to battle but Daigo stopped him:,, Me. You'll be up against me".
,,heh alright! This is gonna be awesome!", Rantaro yelled.

I didn't expect one of them to answer that fast!

This is making me even more nervous then I was before meeting Credence.
I started shaking a bit.
Valt suddenly noticed I was shaking of fear and he put his hand on my shoulder:,, Hey, look at me. You'll be fine! There's nothing to be scared of!".

I blinked twice before smiling over my fear:,, Your right. There's nothing, absolutely nothing, to be scared of ".
I was still nervous though.
No matter how much Valt comforted me I was still nervous and scared.
