Chapter 23 Part-2

Third Person POV . . .

The atmosphere became tense, and Jane was standing still as stone, her eyes never left the alias rock for a second, and she no longer had control over herself. She was caught in a web, and there was no way of getting out. Torch and Leo kept calling her name from the other side, but the words never reached her ear, am her sense were shut down, even her vision was blurry, and she was struggling to stay conscious. One other mistake, and she will be a goner to the phyco-path behind her.
" It is too late anyway, just give in", Flesh hissed into her ear, sending another chill down her spine. The girl grintted her teeth, unable to let herself fall for his words. She could not, she could not let everything she has disappear into ashes just like that, her relationships, and her love for soccer were things she does not want to ever let go.
" N-no!", she stuttered, feeling tears streaming down her cheeks. Flesh frowned at her answer, and tightened his grip on her, causing her to wince in pain, he was litterly squeezing her.
" Your foolish as that other friend of yours we beat up the last time, knowing you don't stand a chance and still fight", he teased, a scary smirk spreading across his face. Torch and Leo had zero chance of reaching Jane, if they try fighting, they will only end-up getting kicked off the team, they were in a complete disadvantage.
" Jane?!", everyone's attention turned to the voice, Torch and Leo were more than greatful to see Coach Lee and Gazel standing on the opposite side of the street, glaring daggers at Flesh and his minions. Jane's eyes were still focused on the rock, and was unable to notice the two familiar figures. Gazel's eyes were flashing with anger at the horrific sight in-front of him, with a mixture of pure anger and hatered.
" I warn you kid, get your hands away from my player", coach Lee ordered, threateningly with a unpleasant expression on his face. Flesh hesitated for a second, before letting go of Jane, and running away, while being accompanied by his minions. As if in slow motion, Jane stumbled on the floor, while breathing heavily.
It was finally over, and she was relieved she was able to breath normally again. Gazel hurried toward her, and cradled her in his arms.
" Are you okay? What did he do to you?", he asked in a worried tone, while rubbing her head. The horrified girl tugged his shirt, and sobbed pitifully. Seeing him was enough to make her feel safe, she could stay like that forever if she was allowed to.
" He is after me! I don't want to go back!", she replied, resting her head on his chest , as wet tears covered her face. She could not take it, she feared her past more than anything, and does not want to experience the feeling of darkness again.
" Being a cry baby will not help, now tell me what's wrong", he asked straight-forwardly , locking eyes with the crying girl. As much as it pained her, she explained to him and her other two teammates. Her coach was not so stunned by her story, and was able to accept the fact she went through a living hell. After all, everyone had fears in their lives, but she was one of the few who had to hold the burdens of her past. He too knew that Torch and Gazel had faced something similar as well, but Jane seemed unable to move on without pulling those memories out of her mind. She looked like a helpless child in fact, and the sight made the young man flinch a little. One thing for sure, this was something she had to overcome herself.

By the time the group returned to the apartment, a young women was standing at the door, dressed in a simple yellow yukata, a beautiful golden ribbon. There was no doubt, it was Mary from the strange, kimono shop.
" What a pain", Gazel mumbled under his breath, not wanting the coach to notice his annoyance. A small smile sprouted on her lips, once noticing the silver-haired boy's disturbed face. Gazel sighed for a second, and said," Your smiling a little, that's good".
Jane felt an awkward feeling in her head, and turned her attention to her shoes, as they neared closer to the apartment.
" Ow! Sir Leeeee~! You kept me waiting quite long!", Mary's voice ringed though our ears like alarms, causing Gazel and Torch moan in annoyance. Leo giggled at their reaction, and patted Torch's back reassuringly.
" Hello Miss Sparks, I am guessing your here to deliver the blue-prints?", Coach Lee asked the mad women, with a straight face. Mary simply chuckled shyly, and covered her mouth, with her pure,white fan.
"Ow no no no no! The other designers are already decorating the backward for the afternoon party you, and Belletrix requested!", she said cheerfully, closing her fan, and slamming it against her palm. The coach sighed in exhaustion, and replied, " Farwell, the guests will be here soon, and I would appreciate it if you could make it quite elegant, I would like to leave a good example for Korea in front of the Arabs".
Coach Lee motioned for his player to go ahead of him, with his fingers. The teammates bowed in obedience, and left the two adults by themselves. Once, they entered the apartment, they were able to hear the conversation of business take its place between the two, but could not care less.
" What pain, that women really gets to my nerve", Torch said, placing his hands behind his head. Everyone nodded in agreement, and sigh heavily.
" She is too much of a flirt", Leo added, ruffling his blond hair.
" Well she is quite talkative, and too hyper, and I don't mean that in a good way", Gazel commented, rubbing the back of his neck, with a displeased expression. Jane pondered in her thoughts, sure thing Mary was annoying, but her positivity was surely something.
" What do you think Jane?", Torch asked the silent girl.
" You do have a point, she certainly is annoying, but that cheerful aura around her is really comforting", she replied, smiling in satisfaction, with her bright attitude sprouting again. The others smiled in relief, seeing their teammate going back her normal self, but Torch, Gazel, and Leo knew more than anyone else that it will not be long, until Flesh would be back with another plan.
