Okay, here I am, I thought since it's almost Halloween, I should write at least one or more chapters than I usually do in this, so um, yeah. Not much else to say but continue reading and review!

Ages ~

Ash ~ 16

Misty ~ 16

The usual stuff applies, like *this is Ash or Misty butting into the other's story.*

The usual, so um, yeah, continue on!

Haunted Hearts

~ Part 7; Darkness ~

(Misty's POV)

Okay, so here we are without Pikachu.

*My buddy will rescue us! *

Ash! Don't tell the ending!

*Well, that's not even half of the ending! *

Well shut-up anyway.

*Humph. You're always so mean! *

I mean for a reason! Now let me get on with the story already!

*Fine fine.*

Now were did I, oh yes! Pikachu had left us to find some help. Okay and so we begin from there.

After Pikachu disappeared from view I let out a light small whimper and collapsed to the ground, not caring if my shorts would get dusty or not.

Ash kneeled down beside me and asked. "You okay?"

I shook my head. What a stupid question!

*Hey! What else did you want me to ask?!*

"I want to get out of this stupid house!" I whimpered.

Ash nodded sympathetically. "I know. Me too."

There was a low rumbling noise which made my head shoot up. "What was that?" I looked over to see Ash blushing. "Um, that was me, I'm hungry."

I sighed. "Well, there's not much we can do about that. It won't kill you to miss a meal or two."

Ash stood up. "Well, actually, there is a kitchen in on the other side on the dining room, so I'm going to check okay? Do you want to stay here or come with me?"

"ASH!" I jumped up and got in his face. "That food is hundreds of years old! Don't eat it!"

Ash scrunched up his nose. "Well, I'm hungry enough I'll try anything. I'll tell you if it's good or not. So are you coming or not?"

"ASH!"  I opened my mouth to protest more.

"I guess not." Ash rounded the corner and disappeared from view calling, "I'll be in the kitchen!"

"Sure." I mumbled to myself.

It was suddenly very quite. I felt a cool breeze blow over me. I could feel myself shivering. I hugged myself in an attempt to keep me warm. I glanced around a bit. This place was even creepier without ash to talk to.

CREAK

My head shot up, then I quickly forced it down. "No! Don't look up!" I focused my attention on the door, hoping maybe by my death glare it would burst open.

Kiiiiiieeeee…

What was THAT? I looked down at my shoes. I could feel tears well up in my eyes. "Hurry up Ash!" I muttered.

I felt a deathly cold breeze blow over me and just seemed to blow around me until a large lighting bolt flashed through all the windows and then, all was dark.

I heard myself shriek, but it didn't sound like it was from me, it's kind of heard to explain. I sat quietly and listened for he pounding rain, but I didn't hear it. It was quite. Too quite.

I shakily stood up, putting my hands out in front of me. "Ash?" I called out. "Ash answer me!" I didn't even hear Ash moving around in the kitchen!  

There! I felt something! It felt, soft, kinda like clothes. I pushed at it a bit, but my hand pushed air. I gasped. What was this? My hands trembled as I felt it moved them outward a bit more. Soon, I can to the end of the cloth, and I felt, I felt, it felt tingly, almost sticky but airy, and yet I could make out the shape of what felt kinda like a… my eyes dilated…an arm.

"A-Ash, is-is that you?"

I felt the arms move. I looked up expecting and desperately hoping  to see Ash's sweet face, but my eyes were not met with warm, brown eyes, but cold, glowing eyes, red, glowing eyes. In the black inkiness, only what I seemed to be touching began to show itself. Before me, only a few inches away from me, looking down at me, was the, the THING. It's red eyes seemed to glow brighter, the skin looked like it was falling off more than ever, and it's smile was twisted to form a cruel, evil smile. It's hair stood out on end and was as white as snow. This close up I could almost imagine it's nostrils flaring angrily. My hands hand been touching it's black worn cloth it wore around its ghostly body. And my hands were touching a see through, almost bloody arm.

As soon as I regained my senses, I pulled my hand away and backed up. The thing made some sort of sound,

KKKIIIISSSSSEEEEEE!!!!

It's eyes burned of fire and seemed to follow my every move. I tried to scream, really I did, but nothing seemed to come out.

KKKKKKIIIIISSSSSTTTTEEEEE!!! it screeched.

I found my voice, and I used that voice. I screamed as loud and hard as I could. I don't know why, or how that was going to help, but that is the only rational thing that I could think of to do.

And then the blackness was filled with a great white light, and then all went black.

*wow, you even got me shuddering,*

Thank-you. It was rather terrifying.

*I should say so. Now it's my turn.*

Awwww. Fine!

(Ash's POV)

Yaaaay!

*So go on already before you ruin the effect!*

Alright! Hold your ponyta! Sheesh.

I was in the kitchen scrounging around for food. I couldn't find anything!

*Pig.*

Go away.

Now, as I was saying, I was looking for food when I felt a cool breeze. I stood straight up. I was beginning to feel nervous. "Maybe I shouldn't have left Misty alone…" I thought out loud.

*Gee? Ya think?!*

Then lighting flashed and the lights flickered out, but only for about five seconds. I closed the cabinet door I was looking in. "I'm going to go check on misty."

Then I heard it. The most terrified, heart- wrenching scream I had ever heard in my life. "MISTY!"  My heart clenched in fear. Not the ghost! Please just let it be her imagination!

I ran as fast as I could into the living room. "MISTY!" I called.

Misty was gone.  

*Very nice.*

Why thank-you. Not too bad yourself.

*I know. Now I think we've told enough for now, don't you think?*

yeah. Bye for now!

Okay, so do you like? Was it scary enough for you? Hope so. Review!!!
