I had a dream about this, so I dicided to post it here.
The dark, cold room of the cellar held two figures. One was a girl and the other was a boy. The girl was pounding her fists against the door wildly.
"Will we ever get out of here?" The girl turned to her companion.
"May, what did I tell you 2 minutes ago?" He asked.
"You don't know," May sighed and fell to her knees.
A loud 'bang' could be heard beyond the door. Cold air seeped under the door. May quickly walked over to her friend.
"Drew, he's back," May whispered.
"I heard him," the green-haired coordinator answered.
Soft footsteps could be heard from the hallway. A figure stopped at the door to the cellar. His shadow appeared under the door. It haunted the two teens. The man was about to grab the doorknob, but a woman stopped him.
"Oliver, have you figured out what to with them?" The woman asked.
"Not yet Brook," Oliver replied reaching for the doorknob again.
"But surly someone will find these kids," Brook said.
"Not with me around," Oliver growled, turning the knob on the door. The door creaked open and light flooded into the dark from.
May and Drew shielded their eyes from the newly lit room.
"Get up, girl," Oliver snarled.
May looked at Oliver then at Drew.
"Don't do what he says," Drew commanded.
May nodded. She trusted him more then anything and anyone.
"You wanna get smacked?" Oliver laughed.
Drew glared, but did nothing.
Oliver walked into the room, and Drew pushed May behind him.
"What do you want?" He asked coldly, frowning.
"Your girlfriend," Oliver replied, watching Drew's frown grow bigger.
"Well you can't have her!" Drew yelled, kicking Oliver in the shin.
Oliver raised his fist and brought it down hard on Drew's head. He smashed into the floor with a loud 'thud'.
"Drew!" May shrieked. She moved him onto his back, and flicked his hair out of his face.
"I'm fine," he assured her. She nodded and glared at Oliver.
"Why did you take us here?" May asked.
"Sit and I'll tell you," he said. They were already sitting so Oliver just started talking.
(Flashback)
"We need kids, Brook. We can't just keep attacking people on the streets," a brown-haired man said.
He wore a white lab jacket and a black shirt and pants. He had a clipboard in his hands.
"You mean kidnap some kids to test are equipment on?" A blonde asked.
She had a brown long sleeve sweeter on. Her tan pants made the cinnamon colored sweeter stand out more. She had long, blonde hair that stopped at the middle of her back. Her ocean blue eyes showed concern.
"Yes," he replied coldly.
"So we blow up the contest hall?" She asked.
He nodded. "Press the button."
She flipped a switch and pressed a red button on a small machine she was holding.
The ground began to shake, and two friends ran towards the contest hall.
"What's going on?" A brunette asked.
"I don't know. Earthquake?" An emerald-haired boy guessed.
"Maybe we shouldn't go any farther," the girl said.
"May, I'm not missing this contest," the boy replied.
"Fine. Have it your way, Drew," she tripped over a twig.
"Hurry up," Drew ran to help her.
Suddenly the ground started to shake faster. Trees became blurs of green and brown to the teens. They rolled over on the floor, and heard a loud 'boom'.
They turned to see the contest hall being engulfed in flames.
"I'm glad we weren't in there," Drew said as the ground stopped shaking.
"But Holly was!" May screamed.
"Alex was too!" Drew yelled.
They bolted towards the burning contest hall. When they got there they looked at each other.
"Holly!" May yelled over the crackling of the flames.
"Alex!" Drew called.
"May, get some firemen," Drew said.
"What about you?" She asked.
"I'll be fine. Look, it's important to me that you get out of here," he said.
"And get help?"
"That too," Drew said. "Now go!"
May nodded, running to get help.
Drew looked at the building and frowned.
"This looks bad," he commented.
He walked over the window, and tried to break the glass. He cursed under his breath when he burnt his hand.
"Open!" He shouted.
He kicked the wall, and then called out Flygon.
"Hyper beam," he commanded.
Flygon shot an orange beam at the burning building. The beam shot right through the building. Drew heard screams of terror coming from inside the building.
"Bad idea," Drew said, returning Flygon.
Drew looked at the road to see May coming with help.
"Sorry it took so long," she said. "What happened to your hand?"
"Burnt it," he replied.
They watched the firemen hose down the building. But the time the fire was gone; the contest hall was in ruins.
"Holly!" May ran into the ruins of the building looking for her friend.
Drew picked up a necklace that caught his eye. It was a gold and blue locket. It reminded him of the necklace he gave to May.
"Holly," he whispered.
May walked over to him with tears in her eyes.
"We found Holly and Alex," May pointed towards some bodies that doctors were taking away.
"Look," he showed her the necklace.
"That's Holly's," May began to cry in her hands.
Drew put a comforting arm around her.
"Kids, you should get out of here," a fireman said.
Drew nodded and walked May out of the burned down contest hall.
Someone jumped out of a bush, hitting Drew in the head with a metal bat.
"What the?" Drew was lying on the ground.
They got May next.
"Good job, Oliver," Brook cheered.
"May…" Drew said before he lost consciousness.
(End of flashback)
"We needed people to test our equipment on," Oliver said.
"And you two were the only survivors," Brook said. "Too bad the firefighters were too busy with the fire."
Tears began to roll down May's cheeks again.
"Holly and Alex were our friends!" She cried.
"You think I care?" Oliver laughed. "You're wrong!" He kicked Drew in the ribs.
"Stop it!" May yelled.
"I will if you come with us," Oliver said.
She looked at Drew one more time. "Fine. Give me a minute," she said.
She took off her necklace that he gave her, and she handed it to him.
"Will you hold this for me?" She asked.
Drew looked at the golden heart shaped necklace with a sapphire in the middle for a second.
"Of course," he replied, taking the necklace from her.
May looked at Oliver and reluctantly followed him.
"Be careful, May," Drew whispered.
She nodded, following them out of the room. She shut the door behind her, and their footsteps were the only sounds Drew could hear.
"Where are we going?" May asked.
"You'll see," Oliver laughed.
May wished she were back with Drew.
Oliver opened a door that led to a brightly lit room. She walked in slowly not wanting to trip over the mess on the floor. Books and papers were scattered all over the room. May could tell that this room was used often. Notes that Oliver took were stacked on a near by table. The notes were the only thing in the room that wasn't on the floor.
"What are you going to do with me?" May asked, glaring at Oliver.
"Just test this thing on you," Oliver pulled out a white device.
It looked like a magnet with two small rods at the end. There was a green button on the device. When he pressed the button a green electrical current flowed through the rods.
Oliver smiled and walked over to May. She was backing up, until she bumped into a wall. Oliver grabbed her wrist and forced her to the ground. He pressed the button three times pushed it into May's cheek. It made an X shape on her right cheek then stopped.
"I guess it doesn't work," Oliver said. He tossed it behind him and smashed it with his foot. Some electricity ran up his shoe then vanished.
"Stupid prototype," Oliver muttered. He dragged May back into the hallway and towards the cellar. "Get in there." He pushed her into Drew.
"Wait," Drew said.
Oliver glared at him, but stayed.
"Why not try this stuff on animals?" He suggested.
"We already did. We need human test subjects, and since no one would come freely we had to take them by force," Oliver replied.
Drew growled but said nothing. Oliver slammed the door shut and walked away.
Drew looked at May.
"You Ok? He didn't hurt you, right?" Drew asked.
May nodded and cried. Drew touched the X on her face, but she quickly slapped his hand away.
"Don't," she said.
Drew sat up against the wall, and May curled up next to him.
It was getting late and the cellar was getting colder. Drew could see his breath. Oliver returned once to give them a piece of bread. Drew glared at him as he left.
"May, you need to eat something," Drew said holding the bread to her face.
May didn't move from her spot. "I'm not hungry," she said.
Drew tried again. "May, you're weak. Please eat it," Drew said.
May pretended to be asleep.
"I'll save it for you." He put the piece of bread in his pocket.
They heard rain hitting the roof, and thunder in the distance. May moved closer to Drew, and he put his arm around her.
"May, we will get out of here, got it," Drew said.
"Okay. When?" She asked.
"I don't know," he sighed. "But I'm not giving up. We'll get out of here and turn them in."
May smiled. "Sure we will. We can out smart them!"
"Yeah," he smiled too. 'I hope you're right.'
Drew knew he wasn't going to get much sleep worrying about May, but he tried anyways.
Light rushed into the room through the cracked door. Drew groaned and rolled over. He felt May beside him and opened one eye. She was still asleep. Drew pulled her closer to him.
'If Oliver hadn't taken our Pokemon he'd be so dead,' Drew thought angrily.
May sneezed, waking herself up.
"You cold?" Drew asked.
"A little," she replied, sneezing again.
Drew took out the bread and handed it to her. She took it and ate it slowly.
"They'll probably use me next," Drew said, putting her necklace back on her.
She held it tight.
"Yeah," May said.
"So I'll try to escape and come get you," Drew said.
"You think you can get away from them?" She asked.
"No, but I'm going to try," he said.
May looked around the dimly lit room. She was looking for some sort of way out.
"There is no way out," Drew said, bored with everything that was going on in the cellar.
She placed her hands on the floor, and began to feel for a trap door or something she could use to break the door.
"You never know!" May argued, cutting herself on a needle. "Where did this come from?" She held up the needle.
A clear liquid was dripping from the point of the needle.
"What is this stuff?" May started to feel a little dizzy.
"May?" Drew asked, trying to see what she was holding.
Her vision started to get blurry. She could see the needle, but it looked deformed. Her head hurt badly. It felt like she just got hit in the head with a hammer. She put her hands on the floor feeling very sick and weak. Her hands and legs wouldn't support her, so she slowly fell onto the cold ground. She head someone say her name, but it sounded so far away.
"May!" Drew was trying to shake her.
She looked at him. She could see his green hair, but couldn't tell who it was. Her eyes started to close.
"May, come on… hey," Drew said, trying to figure out what was going on.
May's eyes closed completely, and her breathing became quieter. Soon Drew couldn't tell if she was breathing at all. He gave up on shaking her, and took the needle out of her hand. He examined the needle, and wasn't surprised to see the liquid. A drop landed on his finger, burning it a little. Drew's eyes widened as he realized what the liquid was.
"Poison," he growled, throwing the needle into some unknown place.
