A/N: Ha, Kat's inspiration has put me on fire! Two fics in the space of a week! I'm actually quite shocked – I'm usually so slow! xD Anyhow… thanks again! :D This is a random piece, actually. I was lying in bed the other night and it popped up. Blame insomnia! xD Please R&R! Any comments are greatly appreciated! I'll give you something nice if you do! :D

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon , more's the pity...


Trapped

I am trapped. Trapped in a world of deceit and lies. A world in which dishonesty is everything. I am powerless; a pawn in God's sad game, seduced by promises of greatness.

Life is dark. Meaningless. I live a repetitive cycle, day in, day out. I've felt so much pain that my body has shut down on me. I'm numb. To the physical pain that is.

Because there's still the mental issue to take into account. I'm not mad. They just think I am. I bear the scars, proof of their sadistic experiments. So does everyone, yet I seem to be the only one who questions their motives. In my head of course. Never aloud. I'd find myself with a knife through the gut and a bullet through the head if I did. Our silence is the only thing keeping us alive. We don't get second chances at this place. There's no forgiving and forgetting. My cheerful status is a façade, see? I like to pretend that they're not getting me down. That they haven't taken my innocence. To the naked eye, it would appear that I have succeeded. Ha. That's a laugh. I have no more kept my innocence than I have managed to steal that damn Pokémon our team was assigned to. There is nothing I can do to oppose them. I am trapped. Trapped in this place. Trapped in the depths of my own mind.

But then there's her. The One who has kept me sane these past few years. Her fiery red hair matches her equally fiery temper. Her brilliant sapphire eyes convey words that her perfect mouth cannot. She is my saviour, whether she realises it or not. And I couldn't live without her.

I hate this life. Hate it more than it is humanely possible to. But you know what? She's there, and that's all that matters to me. I'd never change it. Not even for the world.
