Pokemon doesn't belong to me... yet.
Okay, here chapter 2. I know I left you confused with the first chapter, but hopefully by the end of chapter 2 those little question marks over your head will be gone.

Misty's shock was short-lived. She snapped back to reality and began working.

" Kat, help me get them in the car!" she yelled, trying to pick up Ash.

He was conscious, but dazed. He managed to get himself to the back seat with Misty's help, and between the 2 girls the managed to get Andrea inside too. Misty got in the driver's seat and hurried home.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Once at home, Misty inspected them. Some cuts and bruises, but nothing bad turned up. She took a deep breath and summoned all of her courage. Gently, she began shaking Ash's shoulders.

" Ash, get up. Ash." His eyes flew open and widened when he saw Misty.
" Mist..." his voice was hoarse and Misty sensed some relief in his voice. Sudenly his eyes filled with panic.
" Where is she... Andrea..." for the fourth time since she had found Ash, Misty's stomach plaunged.
" She's fine. She's in the other room. Look, Ash, go to sleep." He closed his eyes, nodded, and took her hand in his.

2 days later Ash had recovered, but Andrea was in some sort of shock. Misty looked at the way Ash watched Andrea, and she felt somewhat comforted. He looked at her the way a parent might watch over a sick child, not the way lovers looked at each other. The hope that things may have changed between them sprung up almost immediately.

" Ash, what happned?" Misty asked curiously.

" What do you mean?"

" Why did you guys roll down the hill? What were you running away from?"

" I can't tell you. I don't want to put you in danger. We should get out of here as soon as possible. He'll come after us here too..."

" Who, Ash? You know you can trust me. Maybe I can help." Misty looked at him pleadingly. He sighed, not being able to take it.

" Kurt." as soon as it left Ash's tongue, he regretted it. Misty paled. She swayed unsteadily, and Ash feared she would faint. She caught herself and held on to the doorknob.

" Um... Ash, get Andrea ready. We're taking her to the hospital, okay, She'll be fine there. Misty managed to stumble out of the room. She was shaking as she walked into her room and re-lived the nightmare all over again...
