True Love Revealed
A rush of nausea hit Melissa harder than a Mega punch snapping her back to reality. She couldn't move her whole upper body or her feet because she didn't know why.
She opened her eyes, her vision was blurry but slowly came to focus on a group of people staring at her. One of them spoke.
Well, look who finally decided to wake up Shadow remarked.
Melissa quickly picked up on her surroundings. Her frightened look was the only thing she could express because her whole upper body was tied up along with her hands and feet. Plus her mouth was taped shut.
What's the matter pretty girl, you miss your little boy friend? Angel laughed.
Shadow smiled and walked up to Melissa, he stared down at her with a chuckle Don't worry sweetie, me and you have a blast!
Cid looked up from his book, he was sitting at the table in a small cabin they were in. Shadow just remember we still need some of her alive and in tact so we can bribe Jamie he sighed.
Shadow only chuckled Oh, that's not what I had in mind he remarked loud enough for only Melissa to hear.
Melissa gulped.

Paul called.
Melissa where are you! the others shouted.
The search for Melissa had gone on for about an hour, everyone was looking for her. Jamie, Melissa, Paul, Mike, Anne, Rhapsody, Alex, Hason, Cirrus, and even Gary.
Eric, Anne, and Hason went off to search the trails, Jamie Cirrus and Gary took the City, and Paul and Rhapsody took some unmarked trails.
This is going to be tough, Melissa wouldn't just run away from Cirrus, she had to be taken Rhapsody remarked.
What's the use, we'll never find in time Paul sulked.
I thought you loved her! Rhapsody proclaimed.
I do, but I meant we'll never find her searching on the ground, we need to take to the air! Paul said, and without hesitation he called out his Fearow.
The two hopped on and took to the air. We should look for anything out of the ordinary Paul said.
Like that old wood cabin in the middle of the forest down there? Rhapsody asked, pointing down.
Paul looked down to see an old wooden cabin, then he looked back up at Rhapsody. Sometimes you girls really amaze me Paul said and he ordered his Fearow to land.
The two slowly sneaked up to the cabins' window; they looked in and where shocked at what they saw. Sitting in some chars were Cid, Swan, and Demon laughing it up over a game of cards. Angel was sleeping on a nearby bed and Shadow was mocking someone. Melissa, she was tied up sitting on the floor.
Paul looked towards Rhapsody Find the others, tell them were we are we need their help. Take Fearow!
Rhapsody didn't hesitate and she was off in a flash. Paul looked around, he had to find some way to get the rockets out of the house so he could get Melissa out safely.
He looked around and his sight landed on a few rocks, this gave him an idea.
_______________________________
Melissa was in tears, Shadow wouldn't leave her alone, he was actually taking up joy out of her pain. Melissa hurt physically and mentally, why had she left the safety of the group? She was mentally kicking herself.
Suddenly three loud bangs were heard at the door. What know! Shadow protested.
Shadow got up to answer the door and instantly fell unconscious. This caught everyone's attention and they looked to see that a rock had hit him in the forehead. Cid laughed Hadn't training taught you anything!
Outside Paul sat in a tree, he was trying to hit the door again but hitting a rocket, he guessed, had to be a bonus!
They heaved Shadow to his feet. The semi-conscious boy barely was in touch with reality. Get him out of here Cid ordered.
They brought Shadow with them outside, Cid pulled out a gun I'm going to shoot the joker for hurting a rocket. The hunt for Paul began.
Everyone left the little cabin and Paul had a free chance to grab Melissa and get out. He jumped from the tree and ran up to the door, it was locked, but that was easily solved by kicking it in. Hey, if the police could do it then why not him?
The door slammed open and Paul ran in only to have a dreadful sight meet his eyes. There sat Melissa leaning forward as a tied up mangled heap on the floor. Paul quickly ran to her side, he knelt down and held her up, she had lost most of her strength, and was badly beaten.
Melissa gained some consciousness and looked up to see Paul. Tears formed in her eyes, finally a friendly face! Paul removed the tape from her mouth and Melissa broke.
Paul, I'm I'm so glad you're here and_ Melissa couldn't speak because her sobs were so heavy. Paul shushed.
Quiet, everything's going to be fine now He said as gently as possible.
Paul held her as close as possible while trying to untie her restraints, he was successful but Melissa was to weak and to badly beaten to run let alone stand.
Paul wait Melissa cried.
Save yourself, those guys will be back any second, Cid has a gun and so do the others, they'll kill you if they see you here Melissa proclaimed.
And leave you here? I don't think so! I love you to much to let you go like that! Paul stopped, he mentally slapped himself for the slip of his tongue, but instead he found himself going I love you to much Melissa
Me too she whispered softly.
His arms around her tightened, he didn't want to let her go. Come on, I'll carry you he said, and before Melissa could protest she found herself easily hoisted up into the arms of her love and swiftly whisked out the door.
Paul was running as hard as he could back to the others. If he could make it to the city they would be fine. Suddenly the ground beneath his feet exploded and sent both Paul and Melissa flying! They hit the ground hard.
Paul looked up to see the rockets and two Espeons and Cid's funky looking' unown!
Cid smiled This is cute, to love birds trying to fly away from our nest
Paul reached for a pokeball but demon said I wouldn't try it! and on closer inspection Paul was surprised to see they all had guns pointed at him.
Suddenly the ground beneath the Rockets themselves exploded and they were sent flying. Cid looked up from where he landed to see jamie's new little friends and they all had their pokemon out.
the kids shouted and their pokemon fired another hyper beam at the rockets.
the rockets yelled and they vanished before the attack could hit them.
Suddenly Jamie and the others ran to see what had just happened. They saw paul holding Melissa. Melissa herself felt to weak to care what was going on around her, she was safe now and she had Paul and the others to thank.
Melissa thought it was high time to faint and let Paul take care of everything. So she did.
