I originally uploaded this rewrite back on Christmas of 2012 christ
here's to hoping I eventually get around to finishing it? lmfao
Intro
Though her heart was big, it was not strong.
The palpitations slammed against her ribs, the excitement and anticipation becoming too much for her heart. She knew this would not end well for her, but she could not stop the battle now.
She had gotten him right where she wanted him.
The moment her Zekrom dealt the final blow to his Reshiram, a violent cough forced its way out of her throat. Her hand, having reflexively flown up to cover her mouth, pulled away, palm stained with blood. The next cough was swift to follow, causing her to double over. The other hand clutched her chest tightly as she fell to her knees.
Seeing this, N ran over to her as quickly as his feet would take him, but he was not quick enough. Her body wavered because of the continuous croups, swaying, until she fell forward, collapsing onto the unforgiving marble floor, littered with the castle's rubble. The groan that should have escaped her lips never came, replaced with the arrival of her desperate gasps for air.
When he reached her, he turned her body over, propping her body up on his lap. "Touko!" he called, watching with fear as her eyelids slowly began to flit closed. Her consciousness was slipping and she made no attempt to grab it. The bright, jade eyes staring down at her gave her reason to fight, but all of her willpower had been expended.
"Touko, please!" He did not dare to shake her; he feared he would only further aggravate her condition.
The two pokémon and the antagonist could only stare in helplessness as her stained hand lifted weakly, her stroke of his cheek leaving behind a scarlet painting.
Her body went limp in his arms.
"Touko!"
author's notes
... so yeah I finally got started on this revise hahaha
yes, Touko still has Ischaemic heart disease
keep in mind that this is a revise, but it is also a very VERY slight rewrite
there will be some bonus chapters {oops I spoiled it} and some {i.e., a lot} of changes, but overall, this story will not change
I won't spoil the story for any newcomers to this story, but I am not changing the ending from the original
and no I am not sorry for that that was the whole point of this freaking story wow now I am ranting
anywho at the end of every chapter I will put here the revisions/changes/etc. to make your comparing of the two stories easier {because I know some of you are going to do that don't worry I got you covered}
lyrics/artists will also be down here, as always, and I will always implore you to listen to the song as/after/before you read to get a feel for what the chapter will be like
revisions:
- Touko has Zekrom and N has Reshiram instead
- the prologue title changed
- the diction is probably way too flowery oh well
Intro - The Xx
{this is an instrumental piece, but the music fits the tone of this prologue}
