A/N
Hello hello hello to all y'all. I put an update up yesterday saying that I was back thanks to TheMisrepresented who has his own fanfiction, The reaper, which I suggest that y'all check out if you're interested. Anyways, I read your reviews, and I'm back for another chapter (after a couple of months of waiting, sorry.) As I said, my schedule is gonna be uneven, but this story will never be left for good. If you can't remember how we last left off, check out my previous chapter. Anyways, I'm Lamosamo67, and this is another chapter of The beautiful people! And beware, this chapter gets dark.
-POV Jake-
I remember blacking out for several hours, and having the time whiz by as if my life was in fast forward. I remember looking towards the clock briefly a few times, every couple of hours, although it felt like minutes. Once the clock hit 2 in the afternoon I shook myself awake, and blinked for the first time in hours. My eyes felt like they were full of sand and it hurt to blink the first time. My eyes welled up with tears and I blinked them out of my vision. I remember blacking out at that moment afterwards and landing in a vary familliar white room.
"Hello my child." I heard Lady Arceus say, and I looked up to see her standing before me, with her long white dress on and giving me an unusual look. "I have one thing to talk about, but it is something of great importance. You ready?" she asked me and I nodded my head at her.
"Of course, your wish is my command." I said and she smiled.
"Ok, no." she said. I stood there in confusion for a minute, wondering what the hell she was talking about.
"No? No what lady?" I asked her and she shook her head.
"No to Giratinas offer. As i'm sure you know, he's a leader of deception and lies. He gives one small thing just to get you to give infinitely more. He will come to call as soon as I'm done talking to you. You are a warrior of light, don't stoop to what he wants, you'll regret it." she said and she gave me a look of sorrow, and my world faded, and then reappeared into the world below.
"Welcome back. It's been about 20 hours, but you've been sitting there doing nothing for the past several hours, so you must've been thinking about something. So, what will it be Jake? A life of limitless power, or another sad day in the world?" he asked, and I stood there for a moment, processing my thoughts which seemed to be moving at half speed due to my already weak mind. I recalled Arceus's words just moments before and strengthened my resolve.
"No, I am not yours, I am a warrior of Arceus, not a demon of yours." I said, with an air of confidence. I felt my mind come out of it's stupor, and I felt strong for standing up to the lord of the dead. His face tured sour and he looked at me with a face of what looked to be rage.
"Pity, I had greater plans set out for you. But you will soon learn, I get what I want. Now." he said and before my mind had a chance to process what he said, I felt my legs being kicked out, my arms were binded behind my back, and my legs were forced to be still. I turned my head behind me to see myself again, looking at me menicingly.
"Head up. Now." I heard myself say and I did just that. I was in trouble, didn't want to piss them off more than necessary. I saw Jess materialize in front of me, in the dark void, dimly lit by the purple glow eminating from seemingly nowhere and everywhere. She looked around in horror and then locked eyes with me very suddenly.
"Jake!" she shouted and she ran towards me. She ran into what seemed to be an invisible wall and fell back, rubbing her chest spike after running it into the barrier. I saw myself walk past me, and towards Jessica. I still couldn't move, no matter how much I tried. I tried to shout to her, but to no avail. My clone walked towaards her, and had a knife in hand now, 6 inches long, and one that looked sharp enough to cut through wood. "Get away from me! I know you're not Jake!" she shouted and she tried to run, but she hit another barrier.
"Come here my little princess, and give me what I want." said the clone and she looked at me, with her eyes wide open, and a look of terror etched on her face.
"No, not you, Im only for the real Jake. I'm loyal to him! GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!" she shouted, but my clone kept getting close, backing her into the invisible corner. Her eyes turned blue, as if she was using psychic, but it did nothing as I advanced. "Jake! Help!" She shouted, and I struggled and tried to move and help her, but I was bound as if in chains.
"Stop shouting. Now, unless you want this knife in your precious Jake, then you, I'd suggest you take your gown off." he said and she put her hands against the wall, seemingly feeling for a way out. I tried to scream, but my voice had been taken.
"No you fucking creep, you'll never have me!" she shouted and he stopped in his tracks and I could see a sly smile on his face.
"Alright." he said and he turned around, towards me, knife in hand. He calmly walked over to me and squatted down in front of me.
"No! Not him! Don't hurt him! Do what you want to me.." said Jess, sounding dejected and trying to run over to me, but hitting the barrier once again.
"No, you will learn to listen the first time. One for running away." he said as he quickly lifted his hand up, and putting it down on the back of my shoulder, knife and all. I felt the searing pain of a large knife halfway into my shoulder. I instinctually let out a scream, and to my amazement, I could. I tried to shift to make it less painful, but I was still stuck. Jess looked like she was being torn to pieces.
"No! Stop, please, just take me!" She shouted, louder this time.
"Didn't I tell you, you will have to learn to not disobey me." He lifted the knife out of my shoulder and sunk it near my kidneys, I felt the skin tear apart, and every nerve in my body was on fire. I let out a scream so loud I thought my vocal cords would rip. I felt tears coming to my eyes and they fell down my face. I felt the blood soak my shirt from the first wound, and now the one in my back was starting to soak through. "Turn." he said and pushed me over. he held the knife to my throat, and I was looking into his eyes, trying not to cringe from my own actions. "This next one is in his throat. Now, are you going to listen to me?" said the imposter, and Jess nodded and let out a squeak.
"Y-yes.." she stammered and he smiled and removed the blade from around my throat. He pushed me back over and I got a good view of Jessica standing there, in shock and unable to move.
"Good, now take off your gown you little slut." he said and she began to cry. "NOW" he shouted and she began to take it off. She sobbed as she took her arms out of it, then pulled it down, exposing her breasts. She let out a sniff and let out a loud wail, and paused for a minute and looked like she was going to collapse. I looked at her in mute terror, trying to scream at her, to console her, anything. But I couldn't. She removed her gown, and it hit the floor, exposing her vagina, and she looked away in shame. "Why aren't you doing anything? I thought I could trust in you.." she said and those words broke my heart. I felt all strength leave my body, and I looked at her, trying to tell myself that none of this was my fault, that I couldn't do anything. But I had the voice in my head still scolding me.
"Jake, you're her mate, you promised to protect her, that nothing would go wrong. Now you're idly standing by as she's about to be raped, by yourself no less. I cant bear to see myself hurting her.." I thought, zoning out.
"Pay attention. This is what you get when you don't listen to Giratina." said the imposter.
"This was all your fault Jake? I trusted you... I don't even want you to help me anymore. "
"Turn around. Bend over." the imposter said to her, and he had unzipped his pants and pulled his cock out. Jess stopped crying and she did as he asked, as he bagan to have his way. I tried not to watch, but every time I would zone out, and tune it out, it would force me back into reality, and It would be as Jess was crying. I felt myself breaking inside, and I was sitting there, helplessly, as I watched her be violated. I began to cry, and all rational thought left my mind. I let out an instinctual no, and found that I could speak, but at the same time, I couldn't.
"Jesop-p" I said, trying to form a coherent sentence, but having gibberish come out. I was tripping over my own tongue, and stuttering.
"What's that? I think I hear him say don't stop, well Jake, my pleasure." said my clone as Jess renewed her tears.
"Why are you condemning me to this hell Jake?" she said, and I looked her in the eye, to see that she was broken. Her face was lifeless, and she had a thousand yard stare. She stood motionless as he continued the act. I felt my breath leave my lungs, and I lost all desire to talk. I tried to inhale, but I couldn't, tears were streaming down my face, and I was at a loss for words. I couldn't even think. I tried to form a thought, but I would blank out after a single word. Emotions raced through my chest one after another, and then back again. I felt my wounds began to bleed even further, and my shirt was almost completely soaked.
"This is the day that I die, and I'm ok with that." I thought and all motion in front of me stopped.
I saw Giratina walk out from the shadows and smile at me. "Don't fret. you will be dead soon enough. Then you will be condemned to this hell. For now, try to enjoy the company of those who you betrayed tonight." he said and I felt myself jerk awake, to see the hospital room.
"Jake! You're awake, oh thank Arceus!" I heard Lethe shout and she was standing on my chest and staring at me with wide eyes, looking like she was at her wits end. Jess was standing on the other side of the bed, looking at me and not saying anything, but looking distressed. Flower looked equally as upset and was standing on the bed between the border of it and myself.
"Jake, are you ok?" She said and I looked at her blankly. She leaned in and put her lips on mine, I barely registered this, as I continued to stare off into space, still haunted by what I had witnessed.
"Jake, speak to me, anythting, pleasee!" said Lethe. I looked at her.
"Wha?" I said and I looked her in the eye, she was crying and when I spoke she ran over to me and nuzzled up to me, careful not to impale me with her horn.
"Oh Jake, we were so worried about you, I'm so glad you're alright!" shouted Lethe, and I blinked a few times and looked at her.
"I guess, sorta." I said and she gave me a curious look.
"Jake, no matter what happens, I'll always be here for you." I heard Lethe say, and I heard Flower agree.
"Me too Jake." she said and my mind went back to what Jess had said earlier. "I thought I could trust in you."
Those words cut deeper than the wounds I had recieved, and I looked Jess in the eye and she looked back, not saying anything. I nodded at Lethe and Flower who were concerned, but it wasn't them that I was wondering about.
"Sorry.." I murmured, and Lethe lifted her head off of me and gave me a curious look.
"Jake, whatever for? Just be quiet, lay with us, feel better." replied Flower and she sat down and put her head in my shoulder. Jess had been avoiding talking to me, and I looked away from her, long after we had broken eye contact.
"I said I'm sorry, I.. I couldn't save you! It's all my fault, forgive me Jessica!" I shouted, and I slammed my head back onto the pillow and felt myself begin to cry. I closed my eyes and I saw Jessica's empty face staring at me, with tears running down it and her eyes, devoid of the life that I had fallen in love with. I opened my eyes again and I shook my head. I saw Jess look at me, "I thought you loved me" I heard her say, and I started to deny it, "No, I didn't mean it" I shouted and I felt a hand on my cheek, but nothing was there that I could see.
"Jake, wake up please." I heard Jess say, and I snapped back to reality. I saw Jessica standing above me in my bed, with her hand on my cheek, crying. She had tears running down her face, and her face was red and puffy, she looked as if she had been crying for hours. "Jake, I will always love you. No matter what happens. Whatever you do, I will always be there for you. Even if you're not there for me, I will always be yours." she said and she was looking into my eyes with a look of sadness and desperation. "You were screaming in bed for the past hour, with a look of terror. We couldn't wake you, but we tried so hard.. I couldn't bear to hear you screaming like that, you sounded like you were in pain, and you were screaming for someone to stop. You were also screaming my name, and sorry. Jake, what happened?" I heard her ask, and I looked at her, and saw her face, but could only feel her sense of betrayal that I saw.
I felt nothing but shame for letting her suffer like that. I couldn't meet her eye, and I took a breath in to speak, but didn't. I immediately let the breath out and shook my head at her, unable to talk to her.
"I'm not going to make you talk, but will you at least let me join you?" she asked and I looked at her. I must have looked tired, or particularly upset, because her gaze softened. "Nevermind, I won't force you to do anything, but know that whenever you're ready to talk, I'm ready to talk and help." she said, and I inhaled, and felt my words get caught in her throat as I tried to talk. I shut my mouth, and laid my head down, feeling the pressure of the other 2 girls on me. I put my hands on Flower, and began to stroke her smooth skin. She nuzzled up as close to me as she could, and I let out a breath. I laid there, unmoving for a few hours. After an hour, when Lethe had assumed that I was asleep, she left the bed and moved over to the couch, where I had realized that Jess was laying there crying.
"Jess, what's wrong?" Lethe asked and I heard Jessica stutter before she began to speak.
"Why doesn't Jake like me? He won't look me in the eye and he wont talk to me. He wont even let me help him, why? I'd do anything and he won't even look at me." I heard her ask and Lethe paused in her reply.
"Well, he was screaming and calling your name for an hour, and apologizing, I'd assume the dream was about you." she said and I remained quiet, listening in to their conversation and trying to get a glimpse into Jess's mind.
"Yeah, I want to know what I can do, he's in pain, yet he won't let me help him. It kills me to see him like that. I won't force him to love me anymore, but I will love him."
"Well then Jess, tell him that. Nobody else can." replied Lethe, and I spoke up in the darkness of the room.
"Jess, I don't hate you. I just can't bring myself to look you in the eye right now. It's not personal, I just don't want to tak about it with you."
"Well, I won't make you.. I wish I could, but I'll do what you want. Would you like to speak with Lethe alone? Get it off of your chest?" She asked and I cold only hear the pain in her voice. "Jake, I thought I could trust you" I heard, clear as day in my head.
"I'd do that, would you like to?"
"Well, maybe. I.. Dont really wanna talk but I know I have to. This will eat me alive if I don't." I murmured and Jessica immediately stood up.
"Where's my pokeball Jake? I'll go in there for a while while you talk." she asked and I lifted my and up and pointed my thumb in the direction of what little was still in my bag. Thankfully those fuckers had the decency to leave me my pokeballs. "Ok, love you. Is this something that I can talk about with her later or no?" She asked me, sounding concerned.
"Go." was all I said and I saw her nod out of the corner of my eye and she disapeared in a flash of red light. I slowly turned and managed to get the Glaceon off of my chest without waking her up.
I got up out of bed and slowly shuffled over to her and sat down next to her. "There, I'm here. What do you want to know?" I asked.
"You look terrible, any way I can make you feel better while you talk?" she questioned.
"No, and thanks for telling me I'm not good enough." I said, my mind returning once again to Jess. "Why are you condemning me to hell Jake?" I sat there thinking for a minute, and zoning out.
"I'm sorry, can I put my head on your lap?" she asked and I nodded and blinked very slowly. I gave a very small nod, knowing that she was only try to help.
"So, what happened?" she asked me quietly, being mindful of the sleeping Flower.
"Well, you know of my connection to Lady Arceus, right?" I asked, and she nodded and then walked over to me and put her head on my lap. "Well, the past two nights I was called by Giratina, lord of the distortion world. Yesterday I was called to get asked a question. A simple one, but incredibly important. He wanted to know if I would work for him. Do his bidding. He offered me power that I couldn't even dream of. He showed me a clone of myself, one with all of his power. He proceeded to soundly beat me in a battle. I was left to decide then. I returned the next day, and was asked to make my decision." I said, not taking enough breaths until that point, so I paused and caught up on my breathing.
"Go on." she said and I finished by breathing in and closing my eyes.
"I still feel empty inside, I.. I don't think I can finish telling it.. I'm sorry." I said, breaking off and making to get up to go lay back down.
"No, you may hate to tell it, but you need to get this off your chest. I can see how much this hurts you, but if you don't tell it, it'll eat you alive." she said and I was surprised at her words.
"Fine. I just hope you're right." I said and I took a deep breath before I launched back into my story.
"I answered no, and he didn't like that. I was bound and paralyzed. Then I saw Jess appear." I said, and I paused for at least a full minute, while I collected my thoughts. Lethe sat patiently while I did so, and then I finally got the strength to continue.
"Jess appeared, and the clone, thingy of me told her to take her gown off. She refused, so e stabbed me. He threatened to kill me, if she didnt comply, and she did when he had a knife to my throat. She did and he raped.. he raped her Lethe, it was horrible.." I said, taking pauses to maintain my composure. I was close to crying, so I started to stroke Lethe and I put my head down and rested it on her currently dulled horn. She cooed and pushed herself into my hand, enjoying the sensation.
"Anyways, I had to watch, the whole thing.. without speaking.. She told me that she didnt love me, and that I betrayed her trust, and that I didn't love her, and I was putting her through hell. I couldn't bear to see her get hurt Lethe. And especially by me.." I said, my throat tensing up as I began to cry again.
"Jake, I'm sorry to hear that, that sounds horrible. I wish I could help you more, but I don't know what to say. So what, you feel like you betrayed her, and feel guilty about looking at her, because of what you think you did to her?" she asked and I nodded into her horn.
"Well, thanks for telling me. I can't say that I'm glad to know of the hell that you're going through, but I'm happy that I could try and help you. Anything that I can do to help you now Jake?" she asked me and I thought about it for a minute, thinking.
"Yes, for now at least, just lay here and keep me company please." I said to her and she nodded.
"Happy to, that's all?" She asked and I nodded.
"Yeah, you already helped me more than I can describe. Thank you. I still can't bring myself to look Jessica in the eye though, can you tell her?" I asked and she let out an "Mmhmm".
"Thank you. I sometimes forget that you will all do anything for me." I said and she giggled, and so did Flower.
"Of course Jake, we always will." said Flower from the bed.
"Flower, how long have you been listening." I asked her, without moving out of tiredness.
"Since you kicked me off of your lap. It's fine, I needed to know why you were so upset. Sorry to find out this way though.." she said, finally realizing that she did something wrong.
"Don't do that, but I suppose the Purugly is out of the bag now. So now you know why I was the way I was. Just dont think any differently of me, please?" I said and she replied in a sleepy tone.
"Of course not, you're my best friend and the one who I love, I could never hate you, or think any worse of you." she said, and I could hear her drifting off.
"I may have just woken up, but I'm tired and feeling like the worst piece of Rapidash shit imaginable. I just, I cant right now. So, goodnight." I said and I laid down on the couch, and Lethe move up closer to me and fell asleep on my chest. I wasn't too far behind.
