Shadowed
Eyes
Part Three
Ash shuddered and opened his eyes.
"Where...where am I?" he whispered softly, a little disoriented at
the lack of light. He couldn't even see the outlines of any walls or corriders.
He tried to feel around for any walls that might be nearbye, but he could only
feel the tile of the floor underneath him. He shuddered when his hands touched
the floor.
It was so cold.
"Misty! Brock!" he asked hopefully, terrified of being alone in such
a strange place.
No answer.
He sighed and was about to call for them again when he heard a dull humming
noise. He looked around to see what the
source
of the sound was, when he remembered he couldn't see anything.
Groaning, he struggled to his feet, as he walked towards the source of the sound.
He held out his hands in front of him, walking slowly so he wouldn't bump into
any walls.
He walked until his hand came in contact with something hard and metallic. He
sighed and put his ear against the
metallic...thing.
He recoiled slightly when he realized that it was warmer than he expected it to
be.
Now that the sound was more distinct, it sounded more like a slow heart beat.
He could feel the metal vibrating slightly with each beat.
I SEE THAT YOU ARE DOING A LITTLE EXPLORING
Ash nearly jumped at the sudden sound. He turned around to look for the
speaker, forgetting for a moment that it was
too
dark for him to even see his hand in front of his face.
"Where....?" Ash asked frantically, feeling very nervous.
I'M TALKING TO YOU THROUGH THE PA SYSTEM the voice responded with
amusement.
"Who are you! What do you want with me?!"
WHO I AM ISN'T IMPORTANT. AS FOR WHAT I WANT WITH YOU, YOU WILL JUST HAVE
TO FIND OUT...
Ash clenched his fists in anger. "Is this some kind of sick joke?!"
The voice on the speaker laughed a chilling laugh.
BEFORE YOU START POINTING FINGERS, YOU SHOULD BE WORRYING ABOUT YOUR
FRIENDS....
Ash's heart skipped a beat.
"My...friends..." Ash gasped softly to himself, shuddering.
"What have you done to them?!" Ash cried out, feeling frustrated and
angry.
YOU'LL FIND OUT SOON.
There was a soft click as the speaker was turned off.
"Wait! No!" Ash cried in futility, running around frantically, trying
to find the source of the sound again.
He cried out when he realized that the ground had dissapeared from underneath
his feet.
