Scarlet Rays of Beauty
Chapter 6: Cold Blood
Our car pulled into the driveway, crunching on the hard snow that had survived the sun blaze. Mom stepped out of the car, unlocked our front door, and walked in. Amy followed. But I wanted to stay outside and play with Scarlet, look for poke`mon, and enjoy the fresh breeze that always follows after a snow storm. I could sense my poke`mon's need to be out in the open. After I was sure mom was as far away as possible, I got out of the car, took out my poke`ball's, and threw them high in the air saying, "Go, everyone." One by one, the my poke`mon came out of there poke`balls and burst forth onto the ground. When they had all come out I said to all my poke`mon, "Let's go look for a new team mate." Kya looked at me, urging me to climb her back and gallop into fields. "Ok", I said picking up Sparkle and signaling scarlet to hop onto Kya's back, "Let's ride."
As Kya cantered down the street, I looked around to see where poke`mon might be hiding. As I passed a certain house, a sting like one of a scorpion coursed through my body. I screamed in pain, but just as it had started, it was already gone. Kya came to a halt. Then a voice rang in my brain, "What is it Alisa.....Oh my gosh." I looked up to see what Scarlet had said that for and I froze. A man, no, not a man, almost a man was standing right in front of Kya, blocking any access past that point. He had red eyes, no pupils, but a glare to kill. His hands had a greenish hint. it was almost as if he had evolved from a dragon to a man. But he stepped away in horror and cried, "You shall meet your end you...you, thing!" and with that he ran into a house. I looked closer at the house, and I realized that it was the same house from my dream. It had seemed like he had a calloused heart, cold blood almost. That was the cruel man from my dream. The one who had kicked at Scarlet. The one who had just sworn to meet Scarlet's end. Scarlet was trembling in my lap, trembling of pure terror. I couldn't bare it. "Scarlet, return." She returned into her poke`ball. "You too, Sparkle" I said holding up the poke`ball to the Pikachu. I kept Kya out. "Lets go Kya" I said , turning her in the proper direction. Kya seemed eager to leave also and began to gallop away. I didn't like this. I didn't like this at all. I had the distinct feeling that that "man" was watching us. I was in a bad position too. I couldn't tell anyone about the situation, because that would mean I would have to tell them about poke`mon, and that could get messy. What about Rosie, Dylan, Amy, and Dorian? I could tell them. No. I didn't want to bring them into any of this. All I knew was I had to get away. Away from that awful house. To escape from the ever watchful. Things were getting out of control now.
I got off Kya in our drive way and sent her to her poke`ball. She returned gratefully. I walked faster then usual into our house. Then plopped on the bed. I ignored the radio talking about deaths by greenish skinned men. I ignored the t.v. from the other room talking about strange men sighted. All I wanted was to wake up from this awkward dream, and just have things back to normal. Being unpopular. No poke`mon. No strange men. No hiding secrets from my mother and father. Just plain normality. For the first time, I hated this new way of life.
