Scarlet Rays of Beauty
Chapter 7: Sad Truths
I was in a strange hall. No doors, just a long hall. I didn't know what to do about getting out. All I knew was that there was something down that hall I wanted. Something that I needed to reach. As I began to walk I saw Scarlet at the end of the hall. I wanted to reach her, but I coudn't. She kept on getting farther anf farther away. I couldn't reach her on foot. I reached for Kya's poke`ball but it wasen't there. In fact, her whole poke`ball belt was missing. I saw Scarlet fade away and then...
I sat straight up. I was in my bedroom. No hall way, and thank godness, no fading Scarlet. I figured I must have dosed off. The radio was still on, but it was still talking about the strange men. "More have been seen, and no one seems to know who they are" The speaker said , "It's almost like they just appered." I reached down to find Scarlet's poke`ball...My belt was gone. "Hm, that's funny" I thought out loud, "I didn't remember taking it off." I looked in my closet. I my poke`gear, empty poke`balls, my back-pack, everything was there except the belt. I shut the closet and looked under the bed. No belt. It wasn't ion the dresser either. I looked in the bathroom. Not there. And then, I heard it. The most ear shattering screech I had heard since , I don't remember. I jumped p determined to find where that out cry had come from. I checked in my grandmother's apartment, she was fine. My mom hadn't made it. Amy was contently playing Nintendo in the front room. Dad was at work, and was fine. Katie was happily plugged into her discman. I took a cat check. Jazzy was lying in puddle of sunlight in the dining room, looking like christmas had come early. Hershy was on my bed. He hadn't done it. Then who? I looked out on the front porch and I was met by an interesting surprise. My poke`mon belt, emptied of it's poke`balls lay by the door. There were poke`balls on the ground. Someone has kidnapped my poke`mon. But that thought left my mind as I heard another sound. Not a screech. Not even a wimper. But the sound made by one of the most deadly weapons one earth. A gunshot. I didn't know where it had come from, but I instantly ducked. Reflexes I supposed. I looked around an saw a sight that made my stomach churn. A red substance was trickling down our drive way and underneath the car. It looked a lot like... I gulped. Blood. It was Blood. I inched past the car making sure I wasn't going to be the next victim of the shooting. I peeked and nearly fainted from both shock and horror.
My poke`mon were on the ground, Lifeless. Kya was sprawled out on the ground, her eyes glazed open with a bullet hole inbetween her ears. Her fire mane was flickering, which meant she was just barely living. It flickered and then.... it extinguished. Sparkle was not on the ground. However, he was hanging from the car mirror, with a tight wire wrapped around his neck. He had been hanged. I tried to hold back th tears, but I couldn't at the sight of My last poke`mon, Scarlet. She was still living. But she had been in the worst condition of all. Kya had died painlessly. Sparkle had died with only a bit of pain. But Scarlet was still dying.
I looked franically around for someone to help. But instead, I found the opposite. I turned around and looked up into the face of that greenish man, once again. He looked at me and held gun to my head. I kneeled. Now he wants to kill me, it's my time now. "What a sick man you are" I said, "Shooting things because you don't understand them." He looked at me and then kicked me in the forehead. I fell on my back. I wanted him to shoot me. To get rid of me, and just quit the torture. "Good-bye little girl" He said. I shut my eyes. I didn't want to see myself die. I heard the gunshot and squinched waiting for the pain, and then the light. It didn't come. I willed myself to open my eyes. I was startled at the results. In front of me was the bullet. But it wasn't moving, it was frozen in mid air, cenimeters away from my forehead. The man was confused. I was confused.I looked to my left and I saw something very interesting. Scarlet was standing upright. Suddenly I understood. Of corse, I thought, she's psychic. I turned back to the bullet. It was deteriorating. Then all went back to normal. Except that the man was now engulfed in flames. He let out a cry of pain, and then he was dead.
I ran over to Scarlet. She was in bad shape. She had a knife driven into her chest and bullet holes on her legs. I saw the pain refleted in her eyes. She looked at me and a last thought ran through my head. "I've change someone's life forever. I shall be returning home. The poke`mon shall be in there rightful place. I am sorry I gave you so much pain. You would've made a great gym leader. Maybe, just maybe, you weren't meant to find me. But even if that is so, I'm glad you did. You don't deserve the memories. But I cannot change that. Tell Dorian, Dylan, Amy, and Rosie good-bye. I...I will always remember you...Alisa........." and then, her eyes glazed over. I was drenched in her blood, but I didn't care. That cursed man that killed my poke`mon, and was now laying beside me not existing, he caused this. I wanted to throw something. But something caught my eye. Scarlet, Sparkle, and Kya had faded from their positions, but in Scarlet's last area, lay a jewel. The jewel from her forehead. I picked it up and with a rock, pierced a whole through it. I took the wire on the ground now drenched in my ponyta's blood and threaded it on. I made a necklace. It had element from each of my poke`mon. The blood of Kya, The death wire of sparkle, and Scarlets jewel. I stood from my kneeling position, and walked inside the house, leaving behind a piece of my past.
