Slowly, the knots began to untie themselves. Or was it just themselves? Nekura was controlling it all. The same evil expression in her face. After freeing herself from her bindings, she walked foward. Her steps echoing in the dead street. When she got home, her mother came in smiling, offering her some eggnog and a gift. "Here you go sweetie." She said as she handed her daughter the items.

Nekura glared at her mother, and she too began to levitate off the ground. Her mother sputtered out words as she was trying to figure out what was going on. "Nekura! NEKURA ANSWER ME!" Shouted her mother as she try to get a hold of Nekura. Her attempts were unsuccessful as Nekura stared deeper into her mothers eyes. She then made a motion with her hand and it caused her mother to die instantly. No bloodshed, nothing. Nekura set her down lightly on the floor. Her mother's eyes still open and her mouth gaping.

Finally, the spell ended. A purple light filled the room as Nekura screamed back into reality. Nekura then fell to the ground, panting heavily, sweatdrops falling of her forhead. She looked at her hands which had spots of blood on them. "What the...?" She said as she then looked up, seeing her mother dead. "Oh my gosh! Mom! MOM! WAKE UP!" She then turned to the ghost which was hovering about her mother. It emitted a eerie howl. Nekura clenched her fists..she didn't want to try to take a swing at the ghost. So she just sat there and cried. She looked down, noticing the spilt eggnog and the gift still wrapped. She looked at the card which read 'To Nekura from Mom. Merry Christmas." Nekura then slowly unwrapped the gift from her mother. It was a picture frame. The picture inside it was of her and her mom a couple of weeks ago at a Pokémon match. A note fell of reading this:

"Merry Christmas Nekura! I really hope you remember when we went to Violet City to watch the gym leader." Nekura began to tear up some more as she hugged her mother. She then looked up at the creature who had done this to her. "Why did you do this?" The Pokémon didn't answer and just smiled quietly. "WHY?!" Still no answer. Nekura got up and sighed. She went to her mother's bedroom and pulled out her favorite sheet and went back to the living room and covered it over her mother. The whole way, the ghost following her. Nekura turned around, "You've done enough damage! Just go!" The ghost didn't budge an inch, it just floated there, watching Nekura. "What do you want from me?" She said to the silent one. The ghost then pointed to a Pokémon and its trainer in the photo. Nekura picked it up and looked at it carefully. "Is this...your trainer?" She said, reconizing the Pokémon, but not the trainer. Muuma nodded. "Well, what do you want me to do about it?" Nekura said as Muuma pointed to the trainer in the picture again. "You want me to find this person for you? Is that it?!" The ghost Pokémon nodded. "Oh.. no.. I can't do that.." She said as she saw the hurt look in the Pokémon's eyes. Nekura sighed, and decided to help. "First thing to do, is to go to Violet City and see if hes there."

Muuma nodded as she swirled around Nekura joyfuly as Nekura grabbed a backpack. She began to fill it with clothes and belongings she wanted to take with her. She then grabbed a seperate bag and filled it with foods and drinks. She put on her coat and grabbed all the money that was in the house and shoved it in her pocket. She looked at her mother and sighed. "Good bye mother...we shall see each other again someday."
