Ehehe I know I didn't explain 'His world' but the whole story is about revealing what 'his world' is, so yeah. LOL if you don't understand what his world is or looks like, then that is a good thing. I don't expect you to know it already, unless you read minds…
Summary: Dawn Berlitz is a respectable detective, closing every case she's encountered. But, when a mysterious murder case pops up, she is partnered up with a strange witness. Before she realized it, she was pulled into a dark game of love and death.
Disclaimer: Last time I checked; I wasn't working on a video game or anime. So, please, just tell me that you KNOW I don't own Pokemon.
:~CLUE~:
-Day One- I know who you are.- YOU ARE MY POSSESION.
My peice.
Do not stray from the board.
I'll make sure that you follow the rules, and play the game.
I'm watching you.
I'll make sure you play the game, and follow the rules.
Do not stray from the board.
My peice.
YOU ARE MY POSSESION.
I almost gagged when I stepped outside. The air was dense, barely breathable.
"Damn you…Shinji." I cursed, almost biting my tongue from my frustration.
The slim cobblestone path narrowed as I edged towards a town. The mud houses were small and flimsy, almost collapsing from the dense air.
"What the hell?" I muttered and watched a couple pass by in the streets. Their faces were distraught and pained.
I jumped when someone grabbed my shirt. "H-help…" A little girl walked up to me, clutching my shirt.
Her face was black with soot, her black hair matted down, also black and gritty with soot.
One house collapsed and a few screams and yells followed.
"Where…am I?" I bit my lower lip and frowned.
"Help me." The girl cried firmly. Her cobalt eyes were fierce under her black bangs.
"What's happening here?" I questioned.
The girl shook her head and groped my shirt tighter, leaving grimy black stains on it.
"Uh…Help with what?" I finally sighed.
She pointed to a large castle looking structure, miles ahead of the town.
"Huh?" I cocked my head to the side in confusion.
"S-Shinji…killed…me…s-save me…help..." The girl shuddered. Her cobalt eyes flashed fear and her body shook violently. She collapsed, hitting the ground roughly.
"Hey! What's wrong?" I shouted and grabbed her shoulders.
A small trail of blood left the corner of her pale lips, contrasting from her black hair and pale skin.
Murmurings were heard from around me. "S-stay away from her!" Someone shouted. "Get away now." They hissed.
I winced and placed her on the ground gently, backing away slowly. I realized that any who had spoken to me, were gone.
A chilling scream rang through the air. I grabbed my ears and stumbled backwards, away from the girl.
In one fluid motion, the girl got up. Her beautiful cobalt eyes were replaced with narrowed red ones.
"DIE!" She shouted, charging towards me madly.
I purse my lips and bunched my fist together.
"How about you?" I shouted and sent a punch to her gut.
The girl cried out in pain and flew back into her tree, smashing her head against it.
"Huh?" I cocked my head to the side, slightly clueless.
"Nice punch, Hikari-chan." A playful voice sounded from behind me.
"Chan?" I furred my brows in confusion.
I whipped around to see familiar onyx eyes and shaggy plum colored hair. He chuckled slightly and gave a small wave.
I continued to stare in confusion. He looked so much like Paul, but Paul didn't have that personality.
"Don't know me?" He muttered sadly. "Well, that's a shame because I need to take you back to Paul now."
"What? You can do that?" I questioned slowly, continuing to keep my distance from him.
"No," He chuckled darkly. "If I manage to take you with me, it's game over." The strange man pulled out a scythe in mid-air.
I immediately backed away, and he saw that as an invitation to step forward.
"Why…me?" I pointed to myself idiotically.
The man rolled his eyes and lifted his dull, gray blade. I blinked and saw the blood encrusted on the tip of the crescent shaped blade.
"Um…" I pointed at the scythe and back at me, acting more like a bum. What the heck Dawn, you've solved many cases, you're respectable, so then why can't you handle this little guy? I thought in my head, which was driving me insane.
"So, it's time for some…action." The purple haired man smirked and cracked his knuckles.
I shivered from the horrid sound of flexing bones. His onyx eyes pierced through me. I narrowed my eyes at him and glared.
He seemed unfazed by my piercing cobalt gaze. Instead, he seemed rather amused.
"I don't think you'll get far with that look." He chuckled.
"How do you know?" I snorted.
"Just…because." He replied shortly and flung his scythe at me.
I groaned as I watched the blade fly towards me, reacting slower than usual.
"Damn this stupid dense air." I hissed dodging right in time for the scythe to narrowly miss my throat.
"Not half bad." The prune haired man commented and went to retrieve his scythe.
"What do you mean?" I mumbled and raised my brow.
"What I'm trying to say, is that, I'm just playing with you." He laughed a genuine laugh, not a chuckle.
"Huh?" I grumbled in confusion. The man must have noticed because he stuck his hand right out at me, almost hitting me in the gut with a powerful chop.
"Reggie. I'm Paul's brother. I'm here to explain things." He sighed.
"Oh. So I guess Paul isn't as much of a bastard now is he?" I grumbled and followed Reggie into a small mud house.
The roof seemed about to collapse, so I was hesitant to enter. Reggie gestured inside and I sat down on a tiny wooden stool.
"You see, every person living in this world has been murdered by Paul." Reggie explained.
"What?" I hissed through clenched teeth. I narrowed my eyes in anger.
"Listen," Reggie sighed, holding up his hand to stop me from ranting. "Paul, is not who he seems to-," He stopped, "Never mind."
"What were you going to say?" I pondered out loud.
Reggie didn't answer. He just started to provide information again. "Paul's going to have you fight eight scythe bearers like me. He is basically testing you. To see if you are worth his time, or just trash that should live on the street…like these people." Reggie mumbled and pointed his thumb to the people outside, who have resumed their daily lives.
"What do you mean?" I asked quietly, confused and afraid to hear what Reggie's response was going to be.
"Consider this. You are one very lucky girl, Dawn. I don't think many have ever been given the chance to be tested like this, if they were, they failed and were punished…with…never mind." Reggie rolled his eyes.
I shivered from the thought of Paul's punishments.
"Don't worry. You're they first person that Paul shows any interest in." Reggie smiled and bobbed his head up and down.
"You said that to everyone who was tested didn't you?" I rolled my eyes.
Reggie continued to nod, unfazed by my question.
"Well…were do I find…Paul?" I asked.
"He's at the very top of the tallest point, in the tallest tower on the tallest hill of the tallest place in his world." Reggie said in one breath, which left him gasping for air.
"Oh." I mumbled quietly and stood up from my chair.
Reggie placed his hands on my shoulders. "Don't worry Dawn. I'm sure you can do it." He smiled. "Besides, I haven't told you the main thing yet!" He grinned and sat my back down on the small stool.
"Don't you need something to protect yourself when you fight?" He chuckled and pulled out a cleanly cut, shiny, blue diamond ring.
"Blue…diamond?" I questioned.
"Yes, it's mostly the light and the holder's mood." Reggie smiled and placed the ring on my index finger.
"Huh." I smiled and stroked the ring softly.
A flash of white light burst from the ring, changing my business type clothes to a light blue wrap dress that extended down to my ankles. The dress showed my collar bone and neck, making me look tall and skinny.
"Look's nice." Reggie commented from the side.
"Really?" I pursed my lips.
"Bye!" Reggie chuckled, and then disappeared from the scene.
I grumbled to myself and pondered on how to use this thing. "Damn you Shinjis'." I growled and stormed outside.
The girl that had attacked me was still lying on the ground. Her black hair covered her face and her lips were turned down into a frown.
"Help me…I'm scared…" She mumbled in her sleep and groped the air.
I rushed over to her for no particular reason and scooped her up into my arms. I tilted my head to the side and saw a body of water.
"Lake…" I said out loud and walked towards it quickly.
Very few people looked my way as I carried the girl. They probably brushed it off, thinking that it was some angel carrying a dead girl to heaven.
I sighed and waded into the chilly water. I gently dunked the girls head under the water and shrieked.
"What…the…hell?" I narrowed my eyes at the girl. Her cobalt eyes opened slowly. The dirt and grime flaked off her body in the water to reveal navy blue hair. Just like Mine.
"Dawn. You are me and I am you." The little girl placed a hand over her heart.
"What do you mean? What happened to me? I mean you. I don't understand." I gushed, leaving the child to try to input all the questions I asked into her brain and process an answer.
She girl didn't answer. She dunked her head back into the water, still in my arms.
"Dawn. Why do you think I am in this world? Is it because I died? Did I commit a sin?" She whispered.
"No…you didn't." I mumbled and clutched the girl to my chest.
I waded back out of the water, due to the fact that it was getting cold, and the small Dawn was already clean.
The wind began to pick up and the small Dawn smiled. "I need to go…two Dawn's in one world is too much." She giggled.
"Good luck!" The girl chirped and gave a small wave before she disappeared in the breezed of wind.
Her whisper lingered in the wind a while longer. "Please find Paul…for our sake."
I smiled to myself, suddenly motivated. I was driven to get myself out of this hell hole.
"I promise…that I will get us both out of here." I whispered back to the wind. "I am the only one who knows who you truly are."
The breeze settled and so did my heart. I knew that I could make it to Paul in time…I needed to.
~Paul's POV~
I chuckled as I watched the small Dawn disappear in the wind.
"You really are cruel you know that?" Cynthia commented from the side.
Her eyes were closed and her blonde hair covered one eyes. Here hands were crossed over her chest.
"You would know." I muttered and rolled my eyes, pretty much waving her comment off.
"So, how come she's your new 'toy'?" Cynthia grumbled, obviously bored.
"Cynthia, shut up. You'll have your turn to fight her okay?" I sighed.
"What will happen if she beats me?" She raised her brow.
"I believe that it is highly probably that she won't beat Roark." I chuckled.
"Is that supposed to be an insult?" Roark murmured from across the room. His voice echoed off the walls in my office.
"Okay…I don't think that she will get past Gardenia." I snorted.
"That's even worse! You're saying that Gardenia's better than me?" Roark whined.
Gardenia smacked his head with the back of her scythe and pursed her lips. "I'm sorry, but it is proven that I am better than you." She said flatly.
"REALLY? BRING IT ON!" Roark shouted and whipped out his brown scythe. He swung it at Gardenia, which she cleverly blocked with her own, green scythe.
I sighed. "When will those two ever stop?" I grumbled.
"Yeah, well at least you don't have to watch Candice's attempt to flirt with Volkner everyday." Cynthia retorted.
"Good point." I nodded.
"It's pretty bad. I mean…Volkner is pretty unresponsive to those kinds of things…" Cynthia trailed off.
I nodded in response. "I guess everyone gets along quite well…" I mumbled, but I spoke too soon.
Loud shouts came from down the hall. A loud voice boomed angrily. "Get back here you steel brain!" Wake shouted…err…Crasher…Wake…
"Not in a million years!" Byron shouted from outside. His voice seemed more distance.
Maylenne and Fantina sat in the middle of the table, sipping tea together. Maylenne quietly sipped Green tea, while Fantina sipped Earl gray tea. Fantina chatted pleasantly with Maylenne who nodded every once and a while.
A loud buzzing sound came from the ceiling and everything stopped. All the noise in the room was completely silent…even peoples breathing.
"Welcome back Reggie." I greeted my brother pleasantly.
Reggie nodded and looked at the huge mess in the office. "Please don't tell me that I have to clean this…" He frowned.
"Sorry…" I shrugged.
Cynthia chuckled and sat on my desk, viewing all the happenings that the group of scythe wielders.
Reggie had made his way next to Maylenne and ignored the flying objects in the air that were heading his way.
He sat next to Maylenne. She ignored him and continued to listen to Fantina. Reggie leaned over and whispered something to her and she turned tomato red.
Maylenne sent a strong punch to Reggie's stomach, sending him flying back, hitting a bookshelf.
A book fell down and hit Volkner in the head, who was listening to Candice's flirts boredly. He got pissed quickly and threw the book at the closest person to him, which was Roark.
Roark hissed and swung his scythe around, narrowly missing Wake.
Wake took his anger out by yelled and stomping on the ground.
The ground shook angrily, making people grab onto stable objects, trying to save their lives.
Cynthia chuckled again and I watched the scene emotionlessly. I twitched when the stomping lasted a few seconds longer than last time, which dragged onto minutes.
Despite my counting, Wake kept on stomping. I twitched again, and finally exploded.
"WHAT THE HELL? GET YOURSELVES TOGETHER!" I snarled, making everyone in the room jump except for Cynthia, who just nodded.
"I agree. Although I find your performances quite entertaining, we have a serious matter right now." Cynthia glared at the crowd of people.
They all shivered and settled down.
"Now…I believe that Reggie can provide us some info…" I said flatly.
"Um…Yes!" He stood up. "Okay, Dawn Berlitz. She's a detective, quite clever and quick on her feet. I'm not sure how strong she is though, but I don't expect much from such a small woman." He chuckled.
Maylenne sent a punch to Reggie's stomach and he huffed.
"Okay, well I know that Maylenne is strong and she's not that big but…" Reggie trailed off, only to be punched again by Maylenne. The pink haired girl crossed her arms and closed her eyes. She stuck her nose in the air arrogantly.
Cynthia snorted and turned away. "I'm going now Paul…good luck with the children." She chuckled and waved her hand once.
I sighed and turned away, not bothering to bid her a goodbye.
"Okay people. I want you to capture her and bring her to me if you get the chance. If you don't capture her, then she has every right to take your life." I muttered.
"Whatever. I'll capture her easily!" Roark shouted and puffed out his chest in the air.
"No, I will…"Gardenia hissed and whipped out her scythe.
"Oh good god…" I growled.
I watched the same incident repeat again before I left the room. I didn't care about them. All I need was one piece to the puzzle…and my plan would be complete.
I look forward to seeing everyone *(1)piece in my game. I smirked and walked to my room slowly, hearing the crashing from my office, yet completely ignoring it.
And my favorite piece was added first. I chuckled inwardly and licked lips. You are the first I'll destroy. Dawn…Berlitz…
~End of Chapter One~
Please don't kill me. I think I'm going to die from exaustion...
*(1): He calls everyone in his world the peices of his game...and apparently Dawn is his favorite. =w=
...EH. Don't look at me...I'm not a pervert...D:
Anyways, reviews are highly appreciated. They make me smile :)
Yeah. So tell me what you think :D
