"I won't ask you again" Jessie began, becoming more aggravated that her
questions were being left unanswered "Who are you?!
"I have told you Jessica this is of no consequence to you"
Jessie sighed becoming infuriated with the man sitting in front of her. "Fine" she conceded "can you at least tell me where the other Rocket members are"
The man cocked his head feigning a confused look "What other Rockets?"
Jessies voice wavered slightly as she began to think that maybe the doctor hadn't lied to her "The Rockets in the building that collapsed in Viridian"
"I have no idea what you mean Jessica" he stated calmly. He turned to Dr Richardson "Did you not tell her?"
"Y-yes Sir" she spoke timidly "But she didn't believe me"
Jessie turned slightly and looked at the woman. Her head remained in a slightly bowed position, her eyes never moving from their position on the floor. Her fear was evident and Jessie wondered why she seemed so scared of this man.
He turned his attention back to Jessie "There was no one else..at least not alive"
"You're lying" She whispered, trying to control the fear in her voice.
"No Jessica, I'm sorry but it's the truth"
"No" she insisted "Why are you doing this to me?"
"The blast damaged the main structure of the building. You were very lucky to survive."
"I-I'm the only one that survived?" she asked fearfully
"Yes, apart from a few pokemon, you were the only one"
"No. He can't be dead, he wouldn't do that to me, he wouldn't leave me. You don't know him.. he promised me-" She rambled, trying to convince herself more than anything.
"We searched the wreckage. There was no one else" He insisted in a calm yet empathetic voice. Jessie continued to rave incoherently, becoming more and more distraught as she did so. Seeing her distress he placed his hands on her shoulders in an attempt to calm her. Her desperation turned to anger as she lashed out violently at the man, her fist connecting with his chin. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" She screamed, before the security from outside rushed into the office and attempted to restrain her. She struggled aimlessly for a while before Dr Richardson, seeing no other alternative, injected her with a mild sedative. Her voice grew quieter as she calmed and slipped out of consciousness.
The moonlight was pouring into the small room offering its light, but her eyes still remained unfocused on the floor. It had been some hours since she had awoken and yet her mind was still hazy. The drugs were only recently beginning to let go of the hold they had on her body and with each passing second she was becoming more conscious, remembering more and more of the nightmare that had become her reality. Her heart was filled with grief as she thought about him. Could he really be dead? She thought back to her conversation with the boss of the facility. He had no reason to lie to her, so why could she just not believe that he was dead, that she was the only one who had escaped alive?
As the hours passed her mind and heart began to except this as reality. One thought circled in her head -if he would have left her he would still been alive. She always knew her love was nothing but a curse. She had lost her mother through this and now she had lost her best friend -her soul mate. Her mind had only just started to let go of this feeling. James had been with her for so long, they had gone through everything, the good times and the bad, but they had always managed to stay together. No matter what he had never left her and somehow despite her best (all be them violent efforts) to keep her distance from him he had still somehow fallen in love with her.
She tried to focus her mind on what was around her. She glanced around at her surroundings unsure of why she was there. Was she a prisoner? Her 'captors' seemed to be genuine in their concern for her, but then why did she feel such a sense of unease associated with the place? She decided then that she had to get back to Viridian, to find out what had really happened.
She sat up on her bed and moved both of her legs over the side. As she attempted to stand a sharp pain shot up her left leg and she groped at the bedside cabinet in order to regain her balance. She tentatively put her foot down again and gritting her teeth against the pain she managed to limp over towards the door of the room.
As she opened the door a rush of cold air entered the room. For the first time she looked down at what she was wearing, realising now why she felt so cold. She wore a short hospital gown that barely made its way down to her knee. He teeth chattered and she rubbed her hands along her arms in an attempt to gain some warmth.
This action instantly brought her thoughts back to an incident that occurred a few years ago when she and James and of course Meowth, were stranded on an icy mountain. The three of them hadn't slept that night, lying in a cave trying to keep each other warm. She remembered how James had held her, rubbing her arms gently, she had always felt so safe in his arms. She abruptly dropped her hands to her side as tears filled her eyes, unprepared for the sudden vivid flash back Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath she resolved herself, determined not to let her emotions take over.
She slowly limped her way out into the corridor. Looking down its length she could see no sign of life. The only light that illuminated the corridor was an eerie pale blue glow from the moon, making her shiver more at the sight of it.
There were other rooms lined along the corridor and she made certain to check every one for any sign of other survivors, but she found none. At the end of the third corridor she leaned heavily against the wall, closing her eyes briefly, unsure if she could walk any further. She was breathing heavily, trying to catch her breath when she heard a noise coming from behind the next set of double doors. Her head snapped up and she tried to listen to find out who or what it could be. The sound seemed to resemble a howl. She recalled the pokemon she had seen in the cages, but particularly her mind focused on Meowth. She whispered his name as she pushed herself away from the wall, desperate to find her friend. She stumbled drowsily down the final corridor, entering the area where the pokemon were kept. Her eyes darted from cage to cage frantically, becoming more and more distraught as she searched. She found Meowth in one of the cages, his eyes were closed and he was sleeping peacefully. She banged on the grid of the cage, at first whispering his name but becoming increasingly louder. His eyes slowly opened. He looked around hazily for a moment before his eyes focused in on her, however, he didn't respond to her.
"Meowth?" she spoke quietly again now
"Meowth speak to me"
His expression was blank, his eyes staring blankly at her as if she was not really there.
"Meowth.. please" She begged as her voice cracked. When he still refused to respond she finally broke down, letting her emotions overcome her. She leaned heavily against the stack of cages sobbing bitterly. She had lost everything now. Her heart ached with such intensity that her body just seemed to collapse. She lay there, her sobs echoing through the dark corridor wishing that she could have died alongside her partner..
To be continued..
Before anyone mentions it 'yes' I am fully aware that Jessie's leg was broken and that she would not have been able to walk on it, but just bare with me and all will be explained.
