Eyes of a Child
By firehedgehog
Chapter Ten
"Now this is what I call boring duty," a red haired cop said with a soft
yawn, the two cops were standing guard near the front entrance of the
Ketchum residence.
"I know Fred (not very imaginative name is it, ah writers block), but
at least we have a reason for being here. A kids life is at stake, don't forget
theres four others cops here. Two near the back of the house and two inside
with the kid, by now the kid must be bored out of his mind compared to us,"
a green haired cop said, the red head known as Fred sighed.
"I know Zan, but I thought my first assignment as a cop would be
more exciting," Fred said, Zan snorted.
"Really kid, your lucky your first assignment is as easy as this... so
far," Zan said, Fred blinked but said nothing more.

"I win," Ash cheered, across the table from him Gary groaned and
glared at the cards on the table.
"How is it that you win every time at cards, I was cheating that time
and I stil lost," Gary grumped, Ash smiled at those words and gathered his
winnings.
"Gary you know Ash is a natural at anything with cards, hes been
winning since he was little," May pointed out, Gary sighed but knew it was
hard. For as long as Gary could remember nothing he did would let him win
against the younger teen, it was frustrating.
"I know May, but could we at least play this outside... its getting stuffy
in here?" Gary asked, it was very hot today and the house was getting stuffy
from the heat and it was almost seven o'clock at night. He knew that Mrs
Ketchums backyard would be cool, and new scenery would be nice.
"I wish, but then those guys in uniform would bug me to come back
inside to safety," Ash said looking pointedly at his two guards, Gary also
glared at the two men.
Since two weeks Ash had been under guard twenty-four hours seven
days a week, they knew that the police were worried that the person who
had attacked Ash in the forest would attack again.
So far the three teens hadn't learned this convicts name, all they knew
was that he was very dangerous and if he got a chance he would kill Ash.
"At least they could let you go outside, I don't even live here and i'm
going stir crazy," Gary said truthfully, Ash and May nodded.
"Hey I have an idea Gary, mom has the internet set up in the
computer room and we can play games on it," Ash suggested, Gary also
brightened.
"Anything is better then loosing all my money to you," Gary said, he
glared at Ash who grinned.
***
Joseph Oak swore silently his eyes filled with hate, the boys house was
guarded, he wouldn't be able to get to the boy that easily.
'I'll have to wait, sooner or later the police will trip up and the kids
history' Joseph thought with a predatory smile, his eyes gleamed feraly in
the light.
"Watch out kiddo, your time is almost up," he whispered with a deep
snarl, he then slipped away to the place he was hiding out.
***
Ash sneezed as the three teens started upstairs, he shrugged and went
on his way.
"Your not getting sick again are you Ash?" May asked in concern, he
looked at her and smiled.
"Nah, it was just a sneeze," he told her, she smiled feeling relieved.
***
He wouldn't wait any longer, the lust for bloodshed inside him was
overpowering... the kid would die tonight no matter what.
Even if he himself had to die to do it.
***
Night was a quiet affair, most humans and pokemon slept except for
the few nocturnal ones. Inside the house Ash slept soundly in the comfort of
his room with pikachu at his side, nearby the guard sat on a chair who was
snoring lightly wouldn't want him as a guard.
Around the house five other guards were tired from there long shifts
guarding Ash, thankfully there replacements for the rest of the night would
arrive soon.
Zan leaned against a trunk of a tree a yawn almost coming out of his
mouth, his replacement was an hour late and he was dead tired on his feet
(figuratively speaking of course).
'Its almost midnight, I should of been gone from here half an hour ago'
he thought with annouance, he looked at the stark night sky. Tonight not a
star or even the moon shone, he didn't know why but he shivered.
"Something bad comes this way," he whispered, yes he could feel that.
At that moment he heard a almost silent sound, from years of patrolong the
streets he reconized the sound of someone strangling someone.
***
Fred stared fearfully at the man holding him by the throat, the mans
eyes reminded him of a pokemon with rabies... or some kind of animal that
liked the taste of blood. The mans grip on his neck had loosened some so he
could breath easier, but still he feared for his life which was in the hands of
this mad mans.
"You know I've always hated cops, your all useless and all your good
for is to practice my knife skills on," the man almost purred, Fred wanted to
cry. This was Joseph Oak the man he was to guard the young teen from, he
had failed and soon the kid would pay.
He wimpered as the man toom out a silver knife and let its edge rest
against his cheek, it was so sharp he felt blood seep from a small cup. The
words I'm going to die repeated in a mantra in his mind, it was at that
moment that Zan rushed onto the scene.
"Joseph you sicko, let my partner go," Zan growled holding up his gun,
Freds relief was very short as Josephs knife found his heart. Zan fell to the
ground a look of disbelief on his face, blood dribbled from the edges of his
mouth. Seconds later his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground, Zan was
dead.
"What a waste," Joseph sneered, the least thing Fred ever knew was
the thunk and sound of yet another knife sliding into his head killing him
instantly.
***
Joseph sneered as he hunted down three other guards and killed them
easily, he smirked and licked some blood off one of his knives. Since the
night he had first hunted the kid he had gotten more knives, now he had
five of them all hidden on his body.
'The coppers training must of gone down since I was put in jail, I
haven't even gotten a scratch yet' he thought, he even liked the fact that
before he had killed those five guards he had killed the replacements that
had been on the way.
'Now where is the kid, the last guard should be with him' Joseph
thought frowing, he walked down the upstairs hall checking each room.
Looking in one he spotted a brown haired woman... probably the kids
mother, she would also die.
Finally he found the kids room, he smirked seeing that the guard had
fallen asleep. He would make sure that the guard would never forget he
failed, that is in the short time the guard lived.
***
Ash woke up and blinked, he didn't know why but he felt as if
something was wrong in his room. Pikachu had also woken up with him, Ash
looked around and gasped. The guard that had been in his room as dead
looking like someone had repeatedly stabbed his entire body, the amber
eyed boy felt sick to his stomach.
He had slept without his contacts since they were making his eyes
itch, he didn't know why but he had a feeling that he should of worn them...
at that moment the person who had kiled the guard stepped into his line of
sight.
***
Joseph stared at teh boy in front of him, at first he felt shock at seeing
the boys face... but that all to quickly faded. He wanted to laugh, all alone the
boy he had chased in the forest was the original person he had been hunting.
'Its the freak, the little freak and bane of my existance' he thought
grinding his teeth, he felt sick that this amber eyed creature had come from
his loins.
'But thats all in the past now, its finally over' he thought, to his
happiness the boy was frozen in fear as Josephs knives were lifted.
'His eyes go first' Joseph thought, for this task he had a fresh knife...
one that hadn't been used yet.
"Die!" he screamed leaping forward, he slashed the boy across the
eyes, his son screamed in terrible agony and fainted. Red blood fell down
Satoshis face, Jospeph began to laugh crazily and began to ready the stabbing
motion that would kill his son.
"Pika," a voice cried angerly, Joseph had forgot one thing.... the small
harmless looking pokemon that had been sleeping with his son.
"Sh...." he began as the pikachus cheeks sparked, he never got a chance
to finish that word as the pokemons attack fried his brains. As he died he
felt his eyes fry and burst in a gooie mess, thankfully he never lived to when
his brain oozed out of his eyes and blood slipped out his mouth from his
burst heart.
Less then a minute layter Mrs ketchum burst into the room, she could
only scream at what she found and run to call an ambulance.
