Friday the Thirteenth
By Chrissy Granger
"Oh
my gosh!!!" I said as Brock and I rushed by their side, forgetting that we
where their enemies. They where out cold…and very cold at that.
With
a little bit of struggle I managed to drag Jessie to the fire as Brock took
care of James and Meowth. When they where all there, I covered them up with
some blankets and put some wood on the fire. Then I covered myself with a
blanket and sat behind them.
By
the time the clock struck twelve, Team Rocket was finally awake.
"Where
are we?" Jessie asked, rubbing her head where it had previously hit the floor.
"Well,
your in a house in the middle of a snowstorm," I said. I wasn't sure yet what
to call this place.
Hearing
my voice and realizing who I was, Jessie, James and Meowth stood up.
"Well,
well, well… Looks like the twerps are here too! Well, why don't you just hand
over Pikachu?" Jessie said in her usual way. At that statement I just realized
something…
"Where's
Ash?" I said. Brock hit himself over the head with the palm of his hand.
"Oh
my gosh! I can't believe I forgot," he said. "Right before Team Rocket showed
up I was going to tell you he disappeared!" How he could forget that, I don't
know.
"WHAT?"
I said. "How did he 'disappear'?," I asked, sort of angry that he forgot.
"Well
let me start from the beginning…," Brock began. "When you and Ash left I
decided to go exploring also, and I went the opposite way you did and managed
to find a bathroom, study, and bedroom. When I came back I found you sleeping
and Ash petting pikachu." I looked around… Team Rocket was listening also.
"Well,
Ash complained that he wasn't tired and very bored so we decided to explore
some more. We decided to go upstairs and found a library and what I figure was
an art gallery. As we where walking through the hallway, I heard something
creak and turned around to see what it was. Well when I turned around, Ash was
gone!" Brock took a breath.
"I
swear I searched everywhere then came downstairs to see if he was here. Then I
came to wake you up." Brock ended. I was bewildered. How can someone just
disappear like that?
"How
could he just disappear," I asked.
"I'm
not sure," Brock said.
"Well,
that's not the only weird thing that has been happening," I said. I then told
Brock about the adventure Ash and I had had earlier.
"I'm
not sure I like this house anymore," Brock said.
Then
something else happened… I'm not sure how because it happened so quickly. The
fire blew out and the room began to shake. I reached around for Togepi, found
him and held him close and closed my eyes, praying that it would all stop.
About a minute later it did. And the fire, remarkably, came back on now
brighter than ever. I checked to see if everyone was okay. Team Rocket was
okay, though they where obviously scared because they where clasped in a tight
hug. Brock was too and Togepi was giggling.
"This
is getting too weird!" I commented and I got a response of many nods and I
agrees.
"And
now to find Ash," I said determined yet still shaken by the current event.
