She opened her eyes shakily and faced the stark white ceiling. She looked
around the room at the white walls and deduced that she must be in some
sort of hospital. Lying on the bed for a moment, she stared at the ceiling
as she tried to recall her last memory before the world went black. She
smiled as she remembered James expressing his love for her. But her smile
quickly faded as she remembered the building falling down around them.
Despite her best efforts to reciprocate his feelings, she couldn't seem to
find her voice as they hugged, fearing for their lives as the building gave
way and collapsed.
She panicked as to what may have happened to him. Despite the pain in her head she sat up, her only intention was to find him. She looked down to a drip which had been inserted into her arm and she pulled it out roughly, causing her to wince in pain. But that didn't matter now, all that mattered was James. She was about to step out of the bed when she noticed the cast on her left leg. She cursed, but was determined that this wouldn't stop her from getting to James.
Propped up on the small bedside table were a pair of crutches. She reached over to them and promptly fell out of the bed, landing painfully on her side as she knocked the crutches to the floor. Her scream of pain and the noise from the fallen crutches alerted the doctor of her awakening, who then rushed into the room. Her eyes widened as she saw her patient laying sprawled out on the floor, clutching her side with eyes squeezed tightly shut and in obvious pain. The doctor called to one of the guards stationed outside the room for assistance, and they both managed to ease Jessie back onto the bed. The guard left as the doctor spoke
"Here, let me look at your side"
Jessie, who was breathing deeply in an attempt to stop the pain, gave a small yelp as the other woman began feeling her ribs.
"There's nothing broken, it's only bruised"
Jessie looked up at her for the first time. She was a small woman, in her mid 20's with dark brown eyes and dark hair which was pulled back into a messy bun. She was dressed in some sort of white lab coat with an ID badge pinned to one side. She seemed friendly, but Jessie still seemed sceptical
"Who are you and where are we?" She asked in her usual demanding voice
Despite Jessie's manner the doctor was still pleasant
"Oh I'm sorry, I'm Dr Richardson, and we're in a research facility on Cinnabar Island"
"Cinnabar Island!?" Jessie almost screeched "How in the hell did I get here!?
"Air ambulance" the doctor answered "You were in quite a state when you got here" She mused.
"Where are the others?" Jessie asked, her concern for the safety of her friends evident in her voice.
"Others?" Dr Richardson questioned, unsure.
"Yes the others, who were in the building with me, where are they?" She asked, becoming agitated.
"There were no others" She replied confusedly.
"WHAT!?" Jessie exclaimed, "There were hundreds of people in that building, so where in the hell are they?"
At this outburst the doctor became very flustered "Please miss, keep your voice down" She pleaded "I don't know about any others. I just do my job, I don't ask questions. I-I"
"Who's in charge of this place?" Jessie demanded "I want to speak to them, NOW!"
"Please, you can't see the boss I-" She faltered under Jessie's intense glare.
"Well if you can't help me I'll just have to go and find him myself, won't I?" She threatened, as she attempted to move out of the bed again.
"P-Please don't" the doctor begged "You'll hurt yourself again"
Jessie looked at her and could see the fear in her eyes. What was she so afraid of? Jessie wondered. She softened her expression and her tone, "Then help me"
The doctor looked unsure, obviously still frightened
"Please" Jessie pleaded
She looked at her a moment longer until the doctor slowly nodded her head
"Okay" She whispered "Just let me go and get something"
Jessie smiled slightly at her as she turned away and left the room but she couldn't quite forget the fear she had seen in her eyes at the mention of her boss.
She returned a moment later pushing a wheel chair ahead of her. After helping Jessie into the chair, they began silently making their way down the endless stark white corridors. Each woman too wrapped up in her own thoughts remained silent throughout the journey. The final corridor they entered was lined with cages, stacked on each other, each filled with different pokemon. Jessie gasped at the sight of them and at the condition some of them were in. A young Vulpix began crying softly as they passed. It looked up at Jessie with it's large but sad brown eyes, obviously in some distress. At the end of the corridor was a guard, in a similar uniform to a police officers but black in colour, standing in front of a large brown door. Halfway down the corridor the doctor stopped pushing and walked around to the front of Jessie
"I need to speak with the guard, I won't be long" she said, the fear evident as she spoke. Her boots clicked on the cold marble floor as she walked away, her head kept forward at all times avoiding the sorrowful looks from the encased pokemon.
Jessie looked around at the pokemon around her, wondering just how and why they were there. She looked down to the disturbed Vulpix who was now only crying softly. She reached her fingers in-between the grid of the cage and the Vulpix rubbed up against them
"I'll get you out of there… I promise" She whispered. The Vulpix immediately stopped crying, as if it had understood and Jessie smiled sadly at it.
Raised voices could now be heard at the end of the corridor. Dr Richardson was arguing the guard, although Jessie couldn't quite make out what was being said. She sighed and looked back pokemon. Her eyes widening at what she saw in the cage directly beside her. A Meowth sat curled up against the back corner of the cage, staring at her with wide open, scared eyes. She immediately recognised her friend and whispered to him
"Meowth? Are you okay?"
He didn't answer, he didn't even seem to recognise her but just kept staring at her with his wide midnight blue eyes.
"Meowth?" She questioned confusedly.
She knew it was him, but why wasn't he answering?
"It's drugged" Dr Richardson explained. Jessie jumped –not realising she had been standing beside her. "You can go and see him now" she continued.
Jessie nodded before looking back to Meowth one last time "I'll be back" she whispered, although he was still unresponsive.
They reached the end of the corridor and she could almost hear the doctors' heart pounding in her ears as she took a deep breath and entered.
To be continued…
Sorry I stopped it there –believe it or not it wasn't for dramatic emphasis, I just really haven't had time to write any more but I wanted to update. But at least you found out that J&M are alive, that's good right?
Thanks for the reviews : ) I love getting em so keep them coming.
Oh one last thing about the last chapter I LIKE GIOVANNI! * everyone stares oddly * I'm sorry but I can't help it –so what if he's slightly insane and wants to rule the world, I don't care! Although I didn't like him enough as not to kill him off, so if you were going to ask 'no' this new boss isn't Gio.
Okay so im insane but please don't let it stop you from reviewing : )
