Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story line!
A girl was running for her life, her long blonde hair streaming behind her. With tears flowing steadily down her face, she willed her legs to carry on running, no matter what she was risking here. She wore tattered clothes, her body so haphazardly thin that it was a miracle that she could be running right now.
Her vision was blurred by her tears as she aimed towards the shining light that was the outside. For years she had attempted to get out, for years she had failed and was locked further and further deeper into the darkness. She wanted more than anything to be free, being able to do things as she liked without the fear of being watched.
For once in her life she had craved that freedom and now, she had found a hole.
The light grew brighter and brighter, the edge of the doorway slowly coming into sight. Her mouth watered, as if she could taste her freedom.
This was a hell hole she thought as she counted the last few seconds before she was out.
5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
Sadly, she wasn't coming out.
The outside light vanished and she heard a door slam in front of her face, trapping the girl in eternal darkness once again. Almost instinctively she let out a whimper, hearing her voice echo off the walls.
She couldn't see anything in front of her, blinding her completely. Getting up, she ran to where she thought the door should have been, only to find herself groping at thin air.
She fell backwards, the ground suddenly being removed from her feet. Letting out a frightened yell, she felt herself hit the ground with a thud. Her eyes widened in fear as she sat there, unmoving.
From behind her, bright eyes gleamed in the darkness as they made their way over to the little girl. It narrowed down to slits as they got closer and closer...
The girl felt a pair of cold hands grip her shoulder. She let out a blood curdling scream.
Blue eyes woke with a jolt, sweat dripping from her forehead. She constantly had nightmares of this darkness that surrounded a little girl. It would always end the same way, with a cold grip and a scream, she would then wake up with headaches, a cold sweat and occasionally tears. The dream confused her to no end, it wasn't as if she wanted them to appear anyway.
Rubbing her temples, she took a glance at her clock and decided to get up. She prepared herself for the day, doing everything the way she did every single day. If nothing had been moved last night, she could do everything eyes closed.
Shirt. Jacket. Pants. Gloves. Shoes.
Walking down the hallway, she was greeted by her underlings, who by her leaders orders, had to bow to their respected admins first thing in the morning to prove their loyalty. To her, this was completely useless as it only added to her list of things to ignore every morning.
Pouring herself water, she heard someone speak from behind her.
"Blue eyes." A commanding voice spoke. "You're late" it growled.
She turned around and stared into the fierce eyes of her leader, Purple eyes. She knew she wasn't late, he'd do this every morning in a wasted attempt to get her to wake up earlier. Why? She had no clue. He stared back at her with his usual look of disapproval.
"Its eight thirty, you should've been up at eight!"
She waved him off without another word.
"Where's Red eyes?"
"Doing his duties." He dead panned.
She shot him a look which meant for him to emphasise, a look if given to an average recruit, would've scared them into doing whatever she obliged.
"In the sky chasing Latias. If things were to work out, we'll have everything done by the end of the day."
She sighed, her mind wandering after he said 'work'
"So what should I be doing?" she asked, adding in an undertone, "besides eating breakfast of course..."
"Train some of the younger recruits, they need help flying again." He said as he stalked off, not bothering to say anymore.
Rolling her eyes, she ate breakfast and went to the training room.
It was routine more than anything else; eat, train, sleep, nothing would ever change.
At least, that's what she thought.
Pincher's weren't necessarily evil. Well at least according to Red Eyes.
He flitted through the Oblivia skies on his Z.Z flyer, two younger and less experienced recruits flying in front of him.
"Sir, Latias has been spotted in the vicinity!"
"You two, split up and search for it, I'll stay here in case anything else shows up."
"Yes sir!"
Gripping the handles of the Z.Z flyer tightly, he closed his eyes, revelling in how peaceful the skies were. Having been shaken awake by his leader at six thirty am, he was told that Latias was to be found nearby, engaging a perilous search which led him to where he was now. He had pale bags under his eyes, practically invisible unless you were to study his face from an inch away. His hair was slightly ruffled and the red streak was emphasized clearly.
Nearly falling asleep, he heard a cry from behind him. Next thing he knew, he saw a red and white blur followed by two flyers fly past his own flyer. Knowing what it was immediately, he did his best to regain his balance and flew up in order to capture it.
Latias was far ahead of him but in the far distance, he could see a multitude of lights and two flying figures. Recognising the lights to be plasma cannons, he willed himself to fly faster, his blood pumping adrenaline.
Two rangers! Let alone flying rangers! He was woken up too early to let them fail his mission so he found himself becoming agitated, finally ending it with him sending a plasma beam straight at the boy ranger.
The parter of the aimed ranger dived and took the fall for him, her fall ending with a splash into the sea. He looked at the other ranger, his expression one of complete and utter shock. Red Eyes scowled as the Latias escaped. At least he could make it up with a captured ranger... right?
Moving fast, he bound the hands of the ranger, who was still in a state of shock to resist what was happening to him. They flew away, Red Eyes having this nagging feeling at the back of his head.
Are we truly as bad as we seem?
