(Soul's PoV)
I absolutely hate it here! I want nothing more than to just destroy this damn base and that...that horrid man! But I can't, not yet. I still haven't learned what they are planning to do with the legendaries after they defeat me (like that will ever happen). It's obviously something having to do with world domination but I know Lance wants more information than that.
I don't know if I can take any more of this. I'm going to go insane! The only reason why I haven't done yet is because of Silver. He keeps me calm and safe. We've only been here for a little more then two weeks but already I've nearly jeopardized our mission on several occasions but he always came to my rescue. I know he hates it here (he complains about it every time we are alone) but he's more relax and comfortable here than I, and that scares me a little. I completely trust him but still...it really does back up the truth that his father is Giovanni, though I can't say anything it's not like my family is pure...
"LYRA!" Silver shouts and punches my left arm.
"Ow!" I growl and glare at him. I rub my arm to show that it really hurt but he just shrugs me off so I return the punch.
"Ow, you gave yourself that name so you better respond to it!" He rubs his arm and glares at me and I just stick my tongue out at him. Childish, I know, but I just can't help it. For some reason I feel this need to be cheery around Silver and I know he's seen through it and yet I still continue.
"Come on, they called a meeting." He walks off and I silently follow.
Meeting? Will they tell us anything important? Can I finally get the hell out of here? I'm hopeful and excited for a yes but on the downside I'll have to see him. He knows it's me and he's just toying with me, waiting for me to slip up so that he can pounce. I loathe that man!
We walk into the large meeting room. It's pack; we are probably the last to arrive. I see why Silver punched me; he was trying to get my attention so that we could hurry here. The room is filled with murmurs from everyone talking about whatever but Silver and I are both silent. This meeting needs to hurry up and start so I can leave.
We don't have to wait long because the lights turn off, with the exception of the ones on the stage, and that wretched man walks out. I tense up and Silver glances at me. Without saying anything he steps closer to me. I think it's his way of comforting me and I'm grateful for that because I do feel better, almost safe.
That awful man says something that I miss and cheers erupt throughout the crowd but Silver tenses up. I look at him but his glare is glued to the stage and his fists are bawled up. What was said? I'm a bit afraid to know...I squint my eyes to help me see despite the fact that I just want to hide behind Silver. That detestable man raises a hand to silence the crowd and it works. Everyone is quiet but I can feel the excitement in the air and Silver is even more tensed. What's going on?
The lights on the stage shut off for a bit and everyone is leaning forward in eagerness. My breath is caught in my throat as I too lean forward, fear and curiosity seeping in. One light comes on and on the stage is...Oh dear god no! I'm about to shout when a hand wraps around my mouth and another around my arms and torso. I scream into the hand but the cheers muffle my desperate plea.
On stage is Gold, badly beaten. That cruel man parades around Gold and goes as far as to slap Gold, when he whimpers in pain. He's doing this so I will charge the stage and reveal myself and I would if it wasn't for Silver holding me back. I struggle against Silver's hold but I'm getting nowhere. Eventually I give up and slump into his arms, a tear trickling down my face. I'm so sorry Gold. I'm so sorry.
His arms are still wrapped around me as he drags me away from everyone. He stops once we are away from everyone and lets me go. Taking my chance I try to run past him back to that room but he grabs me again. He doesn't say anything as he holds me tight. He's waiting for me to calm down but how can I? Gold is...Gold needs my help!
"Gold..." I whisper so quietly as more tears tremble down my face.
I struggle again in his arms but he still refuses to let me go. I manage to turn around in his arms to face him, our faces so close. He's completely taken back and his grip loosens. I'm no longer afraid but angry. Why is he stopping me? I need to save Gold!
I shove him away and free myself. He stumbles back but quickly regains his balance. He's looking at me with blank, unsure eyes and this only angers me more. I shove a finger at him and I'm glaring with so much hate. He doesn't say anything and his eyes are still the same.
"You are far to comfortable here! Are you working for them!" I scream in rage. A flick of anger passes through his eyes but quickly vanishes. He opens his mouth to speak but I won't let him! "Like father and son," I spit.
Rage feels his eyes and slowly what I just said sinks in. I'm a complete idiot. He's just trying to help and I went and open old wounds. I quickly try to apologize but I don't get the chance. He shoves me to the ground as hard as he could and my shoulder throbs from the pain but I do nothing. He's standing over me; his eyes are filled with hatred. His eyes scare me but I deserve it.
"You knew?" he says through very tightly clenched teeth. I lower my head and he growls. "I am nothing like that man!" again he says it through clenched teeth. He shoots me one final glare before walking away.
I want to go after him to apologize but I can't feel my legs. I slam my fists on my legs trying to bring feeling to them but nothing. I bury my face in my hands and cry. What do I do now? He was just trying help me and I chased him away. I'm such a fool... How am I supposed to save Gold when I can't do anything right?
"Are you ready to give up now?" a sinister voice asks from behind me. I quickly get up and turn to face that horrid man! His eyes narrow on me and a vile smirk dances on his lips, it sends shivers down my back. I step away from him but he just walks towards me. "I'm done playing games, Soul." He reaches out to grab me and I flinch out of his grasp, which causes his smirk to grow.
I toss out Raichu's Poke ball and order her to use flash, which she complies. While he's blinded I recall my Pokemon and run for safety. I'm running down the hall and the alarm starts to go off and I freeze. What am I to do? Battle? I don't know if I can win with my current team. And I hate to admit it but that man terrifies me. I've been only able to stand up to him so far because I had Silver nearby...I wonder if he's all right. Please let him be okay!
Arms wrap around my mouth and torso and I'm being dragged backwards. I'm kicking and screaming into the hand but nothing I do deters my attack, even when I bit the hand. Whoever it is drags me into a closet and closes the door behind us. "Calm down already! I'm not going to hurt you!" my attacker growls and I relax greatly. "You didn't have to bite me!"
I throw my arms around him and bury my head into his chest, weeping with joy. "Thank god you are alright!" I cry into his chest. He fidgets uncomfortably and keeps his arms in the air and I laugh at this.
I release him and back up, only to bump into the wall of this small janitor closet. "Silver, I am so sorry. I was just angry and frustrated at myself. I know you are nothing like that man!" I shout in a desperate attempt for forgiveness and he his eyes soften and I hug him again. "You rough around the edges but you are still kind, helpful, and above all else you are Silver, my rival and friend!"
He gently pushes me off of him but his hands are still lightly on my arms. He lowers his head enough to where his bangs cover his eyes. "Silver?" I call softly. His grip on my arms tightens and suddenly he presses his lips against mine. I quickly go stiff. What am I to do? Where did this come from?
As suddenly as he kissed me, he's finished, standing straight up, and staring at me. I trace his face looking for some kind of answer but I can't read him. "Soul," he says my name but the feeling I get this time is different from all the other time he's said it. I'm nervous? Or excited? I just can't tell. "Soul, I can't take it anymore."
"Sil-" I managed to say before he cuts me off.
"I don't want to be just your friend. I don't think I'll be able to continue just being a friend." What is he saying? Does he hate him? I really screwed up!
"She must be in here!" the shout stops Silver and he's immediately on alarm. I reach for a Poke ball ready to fight. With Silver with me I feel more confident. I can do this. Suddenly he grabs my arm, reaching for the ball, and pulls it behind me and I gasp out in pain. I open my mouth to protest but quickly shut it when several grunts open the door and are surprised to see us.
"Humph, I was planning to have some fun with her first," Silver grumbles and the grunts smirks.
"Sorry but the boss has dibs on her," one of the grunts says and Silver's grip tightens and I let a small gasp of pain escape my lips and this pleases the grunts. They step out of the way to let us through and Silver shoves me forward.
W-what is going?
This chapter is short because I decided to break it apart if not than too much stuff would be going on.
20 reviews! Woot! You guys make me so happy! Thanks so much for them!
On a different note! I'll take request for oneshots on who I should pair Soul up with. I all ready got one for Morty so I'll do his as soon an idea pops into my head. And go to my profile and vote on which game I should do a novalization for.
What to make my day? Just review that's all you have to do.
