December 20th, Evening, 10 years ago

Dear Big Brother,

Mom and Dad said that you were dead. I yelled at them for not caring. I know you're alive. Drago told me that he wouldn't stop looking at the stars until you were and he hasn't stopped yet.

They beat me for yelling at them, though. They took me to the park 'so you don't get your filthy blood on our property'. Is it possible to stop loving someone? I think I'm starting to not love our parents.

I really miss you. Will you come home soon?

Love,

LYN

P.S. I turned 12 today, big brother. Drago took me to the park and played pretend with me, just like you used to.

I made a meal for the three of us and as I went down the hall I heard a childish giggle. I smiled, knowing the source, and walked to Rayquaza's room.

"Here, you go, Rayquaza." I said. I brought five plates of food and put two in front of him. "The newly changed need to eat a lot to make up for the energy lost in the process." I added when he gave me a look.

Draco looked at the extra place setting. "She's coming?"

"She's here." I said as a childish giggle preceded the appearance of a young girl.

"Hi, Ray!" Mew or, as she liked to be called, Mimi said.

"Mew, you have become human as well?" The newly dubbed Ray said.

"Yep!" she grinned at the Legendary Poke-human and proceeded to eat her meal.

As and after we ate, I explained to Ray what we would be doing for the next week. He would spend his days in the basement with me and one of the other poke-humans at the hotel. We would be getting his strength back and coming up with a strategy to let him be seen in public eye without tipping off the criminals after him until I could get help protecting him. He protested at this but was silenced when Drago pointed out that he would need it now that he was stuck with one location as a 'home ground' until he could transform to and from human form at will with no energy limits.

"Very well, I understand." Ray said.

"For now, it's late. Let's go to bed." I said. Mimi, Drago, and I said goodnight to ray and left. I saw him pick up his copy oh my diary and smiled bitterly to myself. 'I hope he doesn't hate me for what he reads.'

Mimi entered Ray's room late that night to check up on him. He was reading the last page of the diary copy in his room. His red eyes wide and horror filled, he looked at Mimi and asked, "Tell me that this book is the working of her imagination, a nightmare that she wrote down."

The human Mew looked at him sadly and shook her head. "It's not. She really went through all that." She sighed. "She still has nightmares about it. They only leave if she is sleeping in mine or Drago's grasp."

He looked at the diary that was filled with an innocent girl's early transformation to a scared woman. He found himself speaking on impulse. "I will protect her with all my power. They will pay for their crimes."

Mimi grinned widely. "I said the same thing. Don't tell her you said that, though. Only tell her that you read the diary." She left him alone.

"I swear, Lotus, I will make them pay for making you suffer like that. If they show their faces, I will show them the true rage of Rayquaza." Ray said. He got under the covers of his bed and slept, dreaming of the day when he and Mew would fulfill their promise.

The next day, I had Pichu come down to the basement with me to train Ray in his new humanoid form.

"First things first, you need to learn to walk." I said.

"After observing humans for so long, it shouldn't be too hard." Pichu said. "Right?"

I nodded and told Ray, "Walk to the other side of the room, slowly, and come back."

During our morning I noticed a few things about Ray. He was rather reserved when it came to talking and expressing himself at all, but he let a few things slip, like anger or frustration. He was also very polite, gentlemanly. He was lean, strong without any visible bulk on him. He was also responsive to the order of command, looking to me for approval when Pichu told him to do something.

"Go explore the hotel grounds for the rest of the day. You did well." I said, walking to the stairs. Ray had preformed to exercises perfectly. By lunch, he got to running so fast he skidded for five feet to stop.

"I would actually like to speak with you, if you don't mind." He followed after me.

I think I know what this is about, but I'll hear him out anyways. "Sure. I'll get our lunches and meet you on the roof."
