A/N - I know there isn't much in this chapter, but I just thought I'd upload a little bit more. It has only been a day since I uploaded the first chapter, but I still thought I'd upload some more! ^_^
As soon as they reached the forest they could hear the screams get louder. Tsubaki constantly shouted, "Don't worry! There's help on the way!". When they got near enough to hear the screams practically split their ears, they reached them. A girl who looked like a Charmeleon, with a boy looking around the same age that looked like a Servine, taking huge amounts of damage from someone who looked like a Gabite. "Hey you! The Gabite! What the hell do you think you're doing?", shouted Yuki. The Gabite looked at him, turned his head and said "Hmm… That should be enough for now...". Yuki, overwhelmed with anger, ran at him, despite the warnings from Tsubaki and Shiro, and unexpectedly used Thunder Shock. The Gabite just stood there, and said, "Hmph. That was almost too easy. Enjoy your poison, kid." He pointed to Servine, who was gasping for air. The Gabite left the scene. "Hang on!" said Yuki to the Servine, desperate to cure him. "Has anyone got a Pecha Berry?", said Yuki desperately to the rest of the group. Everyone shook their heads. Then, he Charmeleon girl said: "Um.. I have one..."
"What, a Pecha berry? Well, give it here then!"
"Um… Okay..." She gave the Pecha berry to Yuki.
"Come on mate, eat it!", said Yuki, desperately. The Servine looked round at Yuki, then at the Charmeleon girl. He then said: "Akane… go… with… these... people…". She looked startled.
"But… Why?", said the Charmeleon girl, who appeared to be called Akane. "Why did this have to happen?". She started to cry.
"You… there...", the Servine boy pointed to Shiro.
"Uh, yes!", said Shiro, startled.
"Shiro… isn't it?", said the Servine boy.
"Uh, yes, it is!"
"Take care… of... Akane... Shiro...". His eyes slowly closed. Akane's crying stopped for a second, probably from disbelief, but then, they noticed some small red writing saying 'DEAD', in all capitals, written on the Servine boy's head. Also, a small cardboard box appeared in front of the Servine boy. Akane then started crying again, this time overflowing with tears. "Come on Akane, please, stop crying.", Shiro said softly Akane.
She replied with: "But he… was my… only… friend…".
Shiro gave her a hug, and said: "I won't let anything happen to you… Akane...". Akane sniffed, and said: "Thank you Shiro… I'm very grateful that I have your protection...". Shiro reached for the cardboard box, but when he touched it, it gave off a little spark. A message appeared above the box, saying: 'Can only be opened by Akane.'.
"Hey, Akane, it's for you, and it looks like its from that Servine boy you were here with.", said Shiro. Akane sniffled again, and started crying once more. "Hey, Akane, stop crying, kay? Look, I bet it's a gift from the Servine boy you were with!"
"*sniffle* Um… Okay...". She reached for the box, and when she opened it, she saw a letter written by someone by the name of Akira. Akane read it aloud: "Hi, Akane. If you are reading this, I bet you are completely speechless. This is a letter that you can set to give to someone upon your death. Oh and by the way, this death in the game, is not virtual. If you die in this game, you will have your brain overloaded by the .tele file, and is most certainly going to kill you. I'm sure it's not over for me yet though, as my father will probably have more uses for me in his 'experiments'. Oh, and incase you haven't already figured out why we were trapped here in the first place, I'll give you the answer now. My father, is the one who created this game. No joke. Oh, my word count is running out. Guess I can't write much more then. One last thing say, take this item, and give it to one of your friends." There was a picture of what looked like a seed. "Well, I guess this means the end between us, Akane…". She stopped reading, and looked like she physically couldn't read anymore. She started crying.
Then, Yuki asked: "So, this item, what is it?". He pointed to the picture of the seed in the letter. Akane stopped crying, and looked at the letter. She put her hand through the letter, around the seed picture, and pulled out the seed. As soon as it was out of the letter, she looked at the description. It said 'Reviver Seed'. Her crying resumed. She was absolutely horrified. Then she mumbled, still crying, "Why? Why... Akira? Why... would you… do this?"
