Ben's P.O.V.
I tried getting to the Daybreak Ruins as fast as I could but everyone had a quest for me to do. It was driving me crazy. The one time I really have to do something, everyone needs me to do things.
No I can't say that. Helping people was one of the reasons I become a ranger. That and the joy you get from helping a Pokémon in need.
Then there was Summer. Ohh Summer. She helped me through every challenge I had. She stood up for me and I stood up for her. She is my missing piece.
Ever since that day at ranger school I knew she would never leave my side. No one had ever cared enough about me to actually come to my rescue, let alone take the hits for me.
And that's exactly what she did the day we arrived in Oblivia. She never changed. Always the most caring and sweetest person I've ever met. One of the many reasons why I love her.
She has a huge heart and I won't let Red Eyes break that in her. Stay strong Summer, I'm almost done!
Normal P.O.V
Meanwhile Red Eyes arrived at Daybreak Ruins with a sleeping Summer and two pinchers.. He roughly shook her awake.
"What do you want?" she asked groggy from sleep.
"Your boyfriends not here yet. Let's go have some fun." he winked. He pulled Summer over his shoulder and began to walk towards the back entrance into the ruins were they would be concealed. He ordered two pinchers to stand guard out front.
Red Eyes dropped Summer to the ground. She groaned as she laid on her back. It was more numb than stinging. Red Eyes kneeled down next to her and cut her shirt starting at the bottom so her stomach was revealed. She had bruises from where Blue Eyes punched her.
"Don't you dare touch me! Ben will kick your ass. Stop! P..please!" she begged as tears started to flow down her face. Red Eyes ignored them and grouped her chest. She screamed as he touched her. She hated this. She never dreamed someone would stoop so low and resort to this. Rape.
Knife in hand, he started to carve a word into her stomach. "I'm going to make sure you never forget your encounter with the Pinchers or with me. This is what you get for fucking with the Pinchers!" he yelled into her ear.
Pain was all Summer felt. She screamed and cried and begged for him to stop but he only continued touching and carving into her. This was real torture.
A pincher ran in and warned," Leader! The boy is here! What should we do?"
"Send out Entei." Red Eyes said not looking up. The pincher nodded and went back outside.
"BEN! BEEENN! HELP ME PLEA-" she was cut off by Red Eyes' mouth. When he lifted she spit in his face.
"Stop touching me! Get off! Let me go to Ben!" she pleaded.
"No, I still have to do one thing." He said with a smile.
From outside the cave Ben heard screams and crying. He knew this couldn't be good. He had to capture Entei fast so he could save Summer.
Ben's P.O.V
Finally! I captured Entei. I wiped my forehead of sweat. Looking around I noticed Summer and Red Eyes aren't here wh-
Red Eyes walked out of the ruins. His shirt was un-tucked. His fly down and he had blood on his hands. I started at him in horror when I noticed the blood on his knife which was nestled in his pants.
"Where. Is. She." I said through gritted teeth trying not to scream or lash out at him. He just smiled as he walked over to me. Without warning he threw a punch. I dodged but he managed to graze my side.
"She's in there. She was real good, too. Come on Blue Eyes." He said winking.
"I can't believe you actually did it! Jeez Red Eyes. Who knew you could be so heartless. That girl is gunna be traumatized. Haha! Let's roll." She said as they hopped on their machines and flew away.
I immediately ran towards the cave but nothing could prepare me for what I saw. Summer lay in the middle shaking tremendously. Her wrists were bruised in a circle. The front of her shirt was completely red and she laid in a small pool of blood. Her shorts were halfway down her legs. And that's when I realized what he meant.
"I can't promise that. But I can promise I'll be taking something from her she'll never be able to get back. Haha!"
"She's in there. She was real good, too."
"I can't believe you actually did it! Jeez Red Eyes. Who knew you could be so heartless. That girl is gunna be traumatized. Haha!"
I ran over to Summer and untied her hands. I held her face in my hands."Summer! Summer, please look at me! Please! Summer, I love you! Please, I can't lose you, I need you with me!" I started to cry.
She slowly opened her eyes and tears fell down her cheeks. She put her shaking hand up to my face. "B.. Ben." She choked out.
"I'm right here! I'm here Summer." Tears flowed down my cheeks. She wiped as many as she could away with her thumb. Not completely aware of what I was doing I leaned close to her and kissed the tip of her nose. I pulled away and smiled at her. She weakly smiled back at me. "Let's get you home." I said as I pulled her shorts back up.
Knowing she was too weak to stand let alone walk, I picked her up bridal style. She nuzzled her head into my neck and wrapped her arms around me. I then noticed she wasn't shaking anymore. Do I really have that effect on her? I hope. I want to be the one to care for her. Only me.
I walked out into the sun. As I walked out I noticed Red Eyes left us a present. Eight Electrodes waited for us. Before I could react they exploded. I closed my eyes and covered Summer waiting for the blow that never came. I opened my eyes to a Staraptor that had pulled us both up and was now taking us away from the Ruins.
"Thank you Staraptor. That was is Rand's house." I directed as I pat the side of his head.
"Sure thing." It replied. I opened my eyes in shock not believing I could understand what he said. Then I realized, this Staraptor was meant to be my partner Pokémon.
"How would you like to be my Partner Pokémon?" I asked hoping for a 'yes'.
" I would love to!" he said cheerfully. I rubbed his head.
We arrived at Rand's house a few moments later. I got off Staraptor's back and told him to wait inside. I walked in with Summer still in my arms, Staraptor not far behind me. Stunned faces were all I registered as I walked up the stairs to my guest room.
I placed Summer on the bed and quickly ran to the bathroom to get a bowl of water and a cloth. As I walked back in, a pair of misty eyes greeted me. I smiled at her. Those beautiful eyes. She is soo beautiful.
"Hey. How are you feeling?" I asked concerned.
"My.. body stings.. how are you?" she asked concern in her eyes. I frowned. Even when she is in pain and all of that she's been through, she is still concerned for everyone but herself.
"I'm worried about you. Summer I'm sorry. I should have been there for you. I should have gotten there sooner. You don't deserve any of this!" I laid my head on hers as I started to quietly sob. I felt a hand on the back of my head push my mouth towards hers.
When our lips met, I felt like every single one of my problems melted away as her soft lips touched mine. After a few seconds I pulled away for air. I looked into her eyes and she was now smiling. "Ben.. I've wanted t-to tell you s..something for a while.." she stammered.
"Yes?" I asked concerned.
"Ben.. I... I love you." her beautiful eyes burned into mine. Before I could stop them, tears rolled down my cheeks.
"I love you too, Summer." I kissed her lightly on the lips and kneeled down next to her body. I had to check her wounds.
I decided to start with her back. I rolled her onto her side so she faced the wall. As I pulled her ripped shirt down, I only saw blood. I took the cloth and began to wipe the blood away. I stopped in my tracks when I saw the words 'Red Eyes' engraved in her back.
Angered filled my heart as I punched the floor leaving a crack in the wood panel. "THAT FUCKING BASTARD!" I screamed as a punched the floor again leaving a bigger crack. How could he do that to her? I stood up and was about to leave the room to find Red Eyes and beat the shit out of him until I heard her voice.
"Stop.." I turned around to see Summer trying to stand. I walked over to her and set her back on the bed. "Please don't leave me. Forget about him. I can't be by myself right now. Don't leave me." she started crying. I bent over and kissed away her tears.
"I'll never leave you." I said as I laid her back on her side to finish bandaging her wounds. I'll have to ask Nema to invent a cream that gets rid of scars. I refuse to make her live with those scars. When I'm done she turns over so I can tend to her stomach. I lift of the ripped fabric. It is stuck to her skin and I can tell its hurting her because she starts to cry.
I kiss her tears away then I look back at the wound. I stare at the word 'Pinchers' that has blood still oozing from it. Summer looks at it and covers her mouth. She begins to cry and shake. I'm pulled out of my daze when I realize she is shaking so much, the bed is shaking with her.
I decide to sit next to her on the bed and wrap my arms around her. She lays her head on my chest and we both just lay there on the bed. She has stopped shaking and I think she stopped crying. I look down and notice she is sleeping. She's probably exhausted.
As much as I want to stay like this, I lay her back down and cleaned her wound then bandaged it. Deciding she can't sleep in that, I place one of my shirts over her then slid her other shirt off her body making sure I don't see her body. I do the same with a pair of my pajama pants. After tucking her in bed I walk downstairs to report to Rand.
When I walk down they all stare at me waiting for an explanation. I summon them to sit down at the table with me and I explain everything from start to finish to them. When I'm done no one says anything.
"I'm going to bed. Goodnight guys." I start to walk to the stairs and feel someone hug me from the back. I turn around and see Leanne. I hold on to her and cry into her shoulder. After a few minutes I pull away and walk up the stairs. I get dressed in spare pajamas and put a blanket on the floor with a pillow.
20 minutes into laying on the ground I realize I won't be falling asleep anytime soon. I toss and turn trying to get comfortable but nothing is working.
"Ben?" I get up and notice Summer sitting up in bed.
"What's wrong?" worried her wounds are starting to hurt or she feels sick.
"I can't fall back to sleep. I'm scared.." she says looking down.
"Scoot over." she moves over and I lay down next to her. She puts her head on my chest and I put my arm around her. Before we knew it we were both asleep.
