PROLOGUE

He stared within the water-filled, marble basin; gripping its white edges in excruciating agony. In angry haste, he slashed at the water, slapping it across his face. He flinched in both pain and remembrance as he reopened the gash on his swollen lip. "Why? Why?" He said, squeezing his eyes as the voices echoed the answer in his head. His body started to tremble and then he clenched his teeth so hard, as if it could cut through marble. The stench of urine and his dry blood invaded his senses, sliding down his throat like slime. On reflex, his stomach clenched making him puke out nothing but deep coughs and gasps, due to his empty stomach. He tried to take in deep breathes to compose himself, but it only made him feel weaker. "This all started because of her", his heart wrenched at the memory. However, he shook it off, narrowed his eyes into venomous slits, and said in a voice so cold it could freeze the water within the basin, "They will all pay. They will all feel the pain and misery I feel today." Tearing his shaky fingers from the basin, he turned around and fumbled to open the buttons of his torn shirt. He winced slightly when his fingers accidently grazed a bruise across his ribs. As his shirt fell to the floor, he began to scoop some more water from within the basin, gently this time he washed the dirt and blood from his face. He stared at his reflection in the mirror, his eyes were red rimmed from crying and more tears began to pool, threateningly, misting his vision slightly. Imagine feeling immense pain, anguish, anger and hate all tied up in one knot and then jammed into your heart. Moreover, the feeling of wanting to yell into the earth's sky until your lungs gave out and you became unconscious in hopes that when you regained conscious the pain would have vanished. However, this is not how the real world works, and Gary Oak knew that. "Today they went too far… they crossed their limits. When I come out of this bathroom I'll emerge a new being," Like a phoenix from the ashes.

This time it was his turn to smirk.

"Yes," he hissed, "I will have my revenge and when I do they will all pay!"

Well that's the prologue, sorry if it is a bit sketchy. I tried to catch the right emotions, by trying to imagine myself in Gary's shoes. However, trying to write those emotions down was a tad difficult. Any ways hope you enjoyed that…PLEASE PLEASE review. Uhm mmm what else?... oh and watch out for the next chappie … hope it comes out great *fingers crossed.
