A Whole New Journey
Chapter 11: Road of Darkness
Alo Point of View...
The Dark Eyed One has followed me, that good.. I was worried he wouldn't trust me. Maybe he hasn't but Gentle Fairy seems to, perhaps Dark Eyed trusts her and her alone.. Oh well as long as they follow that's all that matters.
Taking a peek behind me I hear someone running up to me in the darkness, judging from the steps it's the Dark Eyed One. As I think this I hear someone trip and slam into the solid rock floor...
"Ow..." Indeed it is the Dark Eyed One, I stop and turn around walking to him my eyes used to the darkness. He lifts his head in my direction as I come close to him...
"Are you alright child?" I ask calmly as I lower my head to gently nudge his hand, understanding me he gently grabs my head. As he does I pull him to his feet, he dusts himself off and nods once.
"Yeah I'm fine.. Alo was it? Where are we even going?" He asked his voice full of doubt, I wonder why he doesn't trust me I've help him.. twice now I believe. I can hear the others catching up, the Gentle Fairy is leading the way for Large Nose her face full of worry.
"S-Sid are you alright?" The Gentle Fairy asks as she grabbed the boys leg as if looking it over, she seems to care deeply for the boy. He turned his attention to her smiling softly to her, the feeling seems mutual for him as well.
"Yes I'm okay Mawile, Alo.. helped me up" Gentle Fairy hid behind the boys leg a bit still nervous of my size it seems. Understandable I'm pretty large, though this Fairy seems large for her kind...
"T-Thank you Alo.." She said to me intrupting my thoughts, nodding once to her I turn on my heels and stomp away. Though not meaning to, my size making stomping second nature. As I get away something grabs my tail and I turn my head to look at the boy once more.
"You didn't answer my question Alo!" The boy said, rather loudly.. maybe I should of named him Loudmouth (Exploud) instead. Sighing lightly, I'm sure the boy is just worried about the two females behind him.
"To see Ironhead my leader, he requests to see you Dark Eyed One. He said you remind him of a man he once knew. A man with Silver hair like the moon above.." The boy released me letting me continue to walk ahead, the answer seemed good enough for him as he quietly continued to follow me. The females behind him followed in silence...
Alo's Point of View End...
Sid's Point of View...
"A man with silver hair like the moon above?.."
That sounded like someone I've heard of, I think his name was Steven Stone.. he used to be the Champion of the Hoenn region til he was beaten by a young trainer..who became the new Champion.. though I can't remember the trainers name. Sighing once I followed after Alo, if this Ironhead really knew Steven why not give him a little trust?..
"Sid are you okay? You... seem distant." Looking down at Mawile who was gently tugging my tank top I smile and nod once to her. Reaching out I carefully touch her Maw petting it, her face seemed to get a bit red as I do. She then grabbed my hand and lowered it to her face looking at my hand.
"Mawile?" I ask quietly, she looks up at me a little her face still red. She smiled timidly at me before moving her face closer to my hand and gently rubbing her cheek against it...
M-Mawile?"
Sid's Point of View End...
Mawile's Point of View...
"M-Mawile"
Everytime he calls out to me, my heart skips a beat.. everytime he touchs me I forget how to breath.. Sid's not a monster there is no way all humans are evil.. Exploud.. Dad. They are all wrong, Sid's a good person to me. Kind to everyone, how he fought for me.. no one whose evil would fight for someone they just met.
I couldn't help but desire his touch even more that warmth it sent through me, though it was embarrassing to have to force him to touch me.. but he doesn't seem to hate it as I finally release his hand letting my arms fall to my sides. He keeps his hand there, his thumb gently caressing my cheek. Though we weren't alone I asked Nosepass to walk by us to give us some space. Though Sid told me his story I still needed to know if he wasn't just playing with my heart..
He isn't.. he's kind, caring, even..brave, I feel like he'd never try and hurt me.. I wonder if he'd let me walk beside him.. forever. I feel like if we parted ways.. I'd lose some part of me.. Looking up with a strong detrimation I spoke..
"Sid.. I want to go with you when you leave."
His eyes widen, as he pulled his hand away.. that warmth was now gone.. He then turned from me, a hint of pain on his face as he walked ahead of me.. Leaving me alone in the darkness.. My heart.. it hurts strangely.. why?..
Mawile's Point of View End...
Sid's Point of View...
"Sid.. I want to go with you when you leave."
Those words echoed in my head.. she wants to come with me? No I can't let that happen, I.. I can't let her die like Sydney died. Eaten.. or killed cause of my foolishness. I care about her.. I can't!
"What are you so scared of Sid?! That's not the Sid my father told me about!"
I froze in the darkness, my eyes widen a voice.. a voice I know all too well.. I jerked around only seeing darkness.. not even Mawile was there.. only darkness. Was.. I awake?.. or was I sleeping again?
"Dad told me you were brave, when Team Rocket tried to steal the Slowpoke you fought with my father to protect them!"
T-Team Rocket?.. So what, I only did what was right. My town depended on the Slowpoke!
"And did the town depend on you when you fought them again to protect that Red Gyarados?!"
"R-Red Gyarados?" I choked out.. that's right.. Team Rocket were trying to capture a pokemon so full of hate on Rage Lake.. I couldn't let them.. I could see the pain in that pokemons face.. I couldn't just stand by and let them..
"That's right you couldn't! Are you saying you'd let someone hurt Mawile!?"
"NO!" I screamed out into the darkness, then silence.. nothing but silence..
"S-Sid?.."
Sid's Point of View End...
Mawile's Point of View...
"S-Sid?.."
I called out to him, he was screaming.. even though he rejected me I couldn't help but run to him making sure he wasn't hurt.. But what I saw scared me, he was out of breath, pale, his eyes full of pain.
"M-Mawile?.." He said to me weakly, before closing his eyes and walking forward.. into the darkness leaving me alone once more. Why did he scream out? As if he was trying to force something away from him?.. Looking down at the ground I felt my eyes fill up with tears. Sid was in pain.. anyone could see that, then why doesn't he let me help him?..
Mawile's Point of View End...
Alo's Point of View...
The Dark Eyed One screamed out, as if a demon was inside him.. fighting with him.
I thought about running to help the boy but when Large Nose stood in my way she said "Let Mawile handle it" I had no reason to say no so I simply nodded once before looking past Large Nose to see the boy walking quickly past us not stopping.
"Let's go!" He cried out not even taking a glance at either one of us, what happen to the boy? Following after him came the Fiary she didn't even look at us either, she was looking at the boys back with tears in her eyes. What happen to them? They were so close, now they can't seem to face eachother. Such a strange couple..
Shaking my head I run ahead to catch up to Dark Eyed One he got pretty far ahead for someone who can't see in the dark. Slowing down as a reached him I looked straight ahead like him.
"The Fairy seems hurt" I said calmly, he glared at me for a moment before his eyes soften a bit and he sighed once .
"Yeah.. that would be my fault.." He said with a timid voice, was this really what the Silver Warrior (Steven), Ironhead spoke of was like? He seemed weak hearted, though he was young and still had a lot of room to grow.
Light broke out ahead of us and I smiled "We're here, Ironhead is waiting" I said with a hint of happiness in my voice I couldn't lie. I looked up to Ironhead he was wise, strong, and kind. Running ahead into the light Dark Eyed followed quickly behind me now able to see the path we both broke out into a large cave, the sun shining down into the center of the cave where a great beast stirred in it's sleep hearing us arrive.
"Have you brought them Alo?.."
