Hey again, strangers! I'm trying to update daily, but no promises on that! The real story will be included in a few more chapters, so be patient a little longer!
Ahem, that's enough rambling for now...
*Lyn does not own Pokemon, yet! ;p*
Chapter Three - Obsession
-Louella's POV-
The storm had finally subsided, and I found myself waking up rather earlier than usual. Considering I tend to sleep in to at least noon, I was rather surprised to see it was barely past 7 in the morning! Sure, I was tired has heck, but waking up this early had its advantages. It was simply beautiful to see the sun paint its colors of oranges and pinks over the endless forests sky. I rarely got the chance to see the sun rise, and this was a view I would never forget.
As I awoke, the first thing that had entered my mind was that I had been looking forward to finding out about my mysterious savior, and I wouldn't let anything stand in the way of me doing so. I hadn't meant to wake up so early, I just couldn't wait to find out all I could about him.
I started to blush, this had been the first time I had obsessed with any person. Crazily enough it wasn't even a human, he was a Pokemon.
It was odd, but he took over my thoughts. I couldn't shake off the feeling that he maybe...wanted me to find him again. It wasn't like I was infatuated with him, I was just filled with wonder about this Pokemon. I just couldn't help but be fascinated, he was like something I had never seen before. His very presence was almost unreal, and I had to encounter those piercing blue eyes again, even if it was the last thing I ever did.
Something deep down told me that perhaps he didn't want to see me again...That he had simply just seen a weeping child and chose to protect her. Anyone with a good heart would do so, and that could include himself. I should just be glad he had saved me from those...gang members.
I sat on the edge of my bed, scorning myself. "I don't care about all that! I just need to see him again so the curiosity can stop eating away at me," I huffed, slightly annoyed that I was starting to overthink things. After attempting to stay positive, my mind wandered back towards the fact that there were gang members attempting to harm me.
What were they after, anyways? This forest has belonged to my family for generations, and there was absolutely nothing special here...That I knew of anyways. I should of been worrying about the deadly gang members that were in the forest, but Darkrai was the only thing I wanted to focus on at the moment.
After a few more minutes of contemplating whether or not I should get up, I ended up hopping off the edge of my bed to see my favorite dress ruined. My previously pure white dress was now a combination of several dull shades of brown and green, which ticked me off.
I furrowed my brow. "Darn that stupid Oddish, if only he had cooperated!" I whispered to myself, recalling the endless turns that had eventually lead me to Darkrai.
"Losing a worthless dress was worth making a friend...or whatever I should consider him," I said happily, slightly smiling. I had very few people I could consider friends, and I thought that somehow Darkrai would consider becoming friends with me.
I sleepily headed over to my closet, and slowly opened the door. As I opened the single door, it gave out that familiar creaking sound. Inside was the same dress copy and pasted several times, they were almost all identical. I picked the one closest to myself and replaced my muddy one with the cleaner version.
My dress was a simple and conservative outfit, it was a beautiful pure white which was a pain due to my clumsiness and the countless things I would spill. The dress ended just above my knees and was trimmed with a plain yet beautiful lilac pattern.
After grabbing my plain little dress, I sleepily headed across my room over to my dresser and opened the drawer closest to my window. I grabbed my signature pair of leggings, which were stripped with several pastel colors. I was always afraid they made me seem too childish, but I felt naked without them.
After changing into my dress, and pulling both ends of the leggings up, I grabbed my casual black flats that were set next to my nightstand and slipped both of them on.
Walking over to the stairs, I passed one of my mirrors that was hanging on the wall.
I observed myself and let out a slight sigh. Containing my long hair was a hassle, and it was not very happy from my activities from the previous night. Being my lazy self, I decided to just put it up and not worry about the frizzy mess until I got home. I had more important things to worry about!
After I was prepared to leave the house, I quickly hopped down the stairs of my small two story house. Trying my best not to trip, I quickly jumped down two steps at a time.
After making my way downstairs, I grabbed the front door knob and opened the door, right before I realized an almost critical mistake.
I gasped and cupped my hands against my mouth. "I-I should probably give a heads up as to where I'm heading!" I whispered to myself, but I realized that I could not wake them up for it was extremely early.
I decided leaving a note would be the best I could do, and my mother would see it eventually. My brother wouldn't be up until noon, so I knew he wouldn't worry.
With my messy, rushed handwriting, I simply wrote:
Heading off to the library to research some things, I'll be back by noon, I promise!
-Ella
Satisfied by my note, I slipped it on the kitchen counter before heading out to discover what he was. Maybe even who he was.
As I opened the front door and gazed upon the path ahead of me, I stared at the clouds above me and promised one final thing.
"I'll find you, Darkrai."
I'm sorry that this was rather short! But I felt that splitting their POV's in two would help make things simpler! I tended to drag on about things in this chapter, but I wanted to get a little character development goin'!
Anyways, thanks for reading3 Review if you enjoyed, please!
