Here's the next chapter. Please take some time to read my other story, A Tribe's Life.
"Violet…" Alana sobbed in her bed, gazing at the empty space on the top bunk.
The moon was shining brightly outside the window, illuminating the small room. Alana could hear the two grunts stationed outside to guard her arguing about who the boss was going to give a promotion to.
Alana sat up and wiped the tears from her face. Slipping out of bed, she sneaked around the room as quiet as possible, looking for the things she'll need: A water bottle, a first aid kit, a change of clothes, a pocket knife, her savings, an empty Poke ball…
Alana didn't have her own Pokémon yet, as she was only eight. She threw on an overcoat, grabbed the bag she put all her things in and looked around the room, probable for the last time. Her guards are silent now. She hoped they didn't suspect what she was planning to do.
She climbed up to the top buck and, taking a deep breath, threw herself against the window.
The glass shattered as Alana crashed into it, without hesitation, she jumped out. Her room was on ground floor, so getting out isn't a problem. But getting away is. She ran as fast as she could towards the closest town, Veilstone City, which was only a mile to away.
Alana ran none stop in the forest. She could hear the alarm ringing behind her and Team Galactic grunts searching everywhere for her. The moon provided enough light for her to find her way. In around ten minutes, she saw the lights of Veilstone City.
Gasping for air, she stumbled into Veilstone Pokémon Centre.
"Chansey?" A surprised pink egg shaped Pokémon looked up.
"Hello," Alana panted, "is *gasp* there *gasp* a room *gasp* I can stay in?"
Chansey nodded, looking a little confused, and led Alana up stairs.
"Chan, chansey!" It pointed to a door on the left and gave Alana the keys.
"Thank you Chansey," Alana smiled at it and opened the door.
It was a simple room. A small desk with a mirror and a bed next to a window. Alana dumped her bag onto the table and dove under the covers. She soon fell into troubled sleep.
