When she awoke again she was unsure of how she made it back to her room. It
was cold in the room but she could feel heat coming from something at her
side. She looked down and her eyes widened at what she saw.
"Meowth" she whispered quietly. She sat there for a moment unsure if she should wake him, when she realised there was someone else in the room with them. She turned to see a young girl standing at the foot of the bed
"He wanted to come and see you" the girl explained nodding towards Meowth.
Jessie looked at the young girl quizzically. She couldn't have been more than six, with long brown hair spilling down her back and beautiful sparkling blue eyes. "Who are you?" Jessie whispered.
The young girl smiled brightly and walked over to Jessie's side and began gently stroking Meowth's fur. "My names Rebecca but everyone calls me Becky" she stated
"You brought Meowth here?" Jessie questioned
"Yep. He asked me to" looking around the room with a child innocence.
Jessie was confused. What was such a young girl doing around a place like this? Maybe she could use this to her advantage and find out just what was going on.
"Where's your mother?" Jessie tried
"She's busy right now"
She looked around and Jessie noticed a somewhat nervous look behind her childlike gaze "I should go now"
"Why?"
She smiled sweetly at Jessie before answering "Because the Pokemon will miss me. I don't want them to be sad anymore" She went to take Meowth away from the bed when Jessie put a hand on her arm.
"Can Meowth stay with me for a little while?" She asked, hoping not to lose him just yet.
She thought for a moment "Okay" she decided "But only because he's a useless normal type" Jessie looked at her strangely, before she continued "Well that's what he sez anyway"
"Who?" Jessie asked, unsure of what she could have meant. But before she could get an answer a loud alarm sounded through the building. Becky's eyes shot open and slight panic could be seen on her face "I've gotta go"
"Becky wait!" Jessie exclaimed as she ran from the room, seeing the young girl as the only way to find out any information -but she was too late. She sighed and hoped Becky would be back. She winced and yelped slightly as Meowth unsheathed his claws as he was awoken from his sleep by the loud noise. As soon as he opened his eyes and looked up at her he jumped up and away from her and crouched on the bed in his attack position, hissing slightly. Jessie could see the fear behind his strong glare and spoke to him quietly in an attempt to calm him down "Meowth it's okay, it's just me".
At the sound of her voice his angry expression fell and tears filled his eyes and before she realised what was happening he threw himself into her arms sobbing. She wrapped her arms around him a little shocked at first, but after a moment she found herself crying along with him, glad that he was okay and that at last she wasn't alone.
She ran down the corridor hoping that the alarm had gone off by accident this time -it hadn't. She rushed into the lab but it was too late the liquid and glass from the container was all over the floor and its contents gone.
"Oh God, not again" she gasped at the sight. Running over to the small control panel she began frantically typing on the keyboard looking for an explanation as to why the container failed to hold its contents.
How was she going to explain this for a second time? She still remembered the first time it happened..her hand traced along her left arm where he had broke it and she prayed that this time he wouldn't kill her.
She felt his presence behind her but was too scared to move "What happened?" he asked in his usual cold tone that sent a shiver down her spine. She tried to keep the fear from her voice with little success "I-I don't know, I don't see how -I mean it's just not possible" she stuttered.
Before she realised what had happened he had spun her around and pinned her against the console with one of his hands gripped firmly around her neck. "I don't want your excuses!" he growled menacingly, his grip tightening around her neck "You're going to find it for me aren't you Rachael?"
Without having the ability to talk she nodded as best as she could. "Good girl" He released her neck from his hold and she gasped for air but he did not move away from her. Instead his hand reached up again and cupped her face in his hand, gently stroking her jaw with his thumb. "You know if you weren't so beautiful you would have been dead a long time ago"
This action frightened her even more. She had no doubt that he was capable of every image that was currently running through her mind, but much to her relief he pulled away. "24 hours doctor" and with that he left the lab.
She covered her mouth with her hand, trying desperately to stifle her sobs, after a few minutes she was brought out of her grief by a small voice.
"Momma?" She looked up to see her daughter standing at the door to the lab, who immediately noticed her mothers tears and run over to her "Momma what's wrong?" she questioned becoming quite upset herself.
She composed herself as best as she could and bent down to her child's level, pulling her into a tight embrace. "Nothing's wrong Becky, nothing at all" she soothed.
It's only a short one but hey it's better than nothing. I couldn't leave Jess in that state for much longer. ^_^
"Meowth" she whispered quietly. She sat there for a moment unsure if she should wake him, when she realised there was someone else in the room with them. She turned to see a young girl standing at the foot of the bed
