It's My Baby
Chapter 6: Unreliable Acquaintances
Aquamarine's POV
I opened my eyes sometime later to view my surroundings. I expected the worst, since the Rockets were so relentless in treating their captives. Surprisingly, I realized that instead of a dingy old dungeon, my room contained everything of a rich suite, if not more.
The entire room was a beautiful shade of turquoise, while the curtains were hinted with teal and sapphire. Treats and jewels littered fancy gift boxes scattered about the room and there was even a built-in jacuzzi! This was actually... nice, especially for the Rockets.
I rose from the floor and waddled over to a couch. The floor was soft and plushy and the couch felt like clouds as I perched on it with my front paws. I suddenly remembered the executive saying that I needed to be treated with the highest and utmost care possible, so I guess that's why I have this suite and all this stuff. Well, why complain? At least they were making an effort to taking care of me.
Normal POV
The lock to Room 745 snapped open as the admin stepped in, addressing the resident of the room.
"Why, hello there, dear," she said, smirking. A Houndour sat loyally at her feet, accompanying her with another devious smirk.
Aquamarine glared at the two, backing away from the door and behind the couch.
"Oh, no, no, no, dear. You don't have to fear us. We only want to help you and your babies."
Aquamarine continued to look intently at the door.
"I know what you're thinking, and I'll tell you this: as long as you cooperate, we won't hurt you. But if you try and disobey us again like that, and we might have to take some of your privileges." She took out a whip and snapped it. "Is that understood?"
Aquamarine made no response to the lady; she only stared, cocking an eyebrow. Narrowing her eyes, the leader stepped out and locked the door behind her, leaving without another word. The Houndour, however, stayed behind, still smiling.
"What do YOU want, mutt?" Aquamarine growled at the Dark Pokémon at the door.
"Oh, nothing," the dog replied, its voice obviously feminine. "You know those guys are just using you, right?"
"No way!" came the Suicune's reply, full of sarcasm. The Houndour frowned at this, but continued speaking.
"In case you were wondering, my name's Inferno. And you are?"
"First of all, that's none of your business and second, I WASN'T wondering what your name was."
"Oh, a feisty one, huh? Well, Marcy'll fix that right away...
"Marcy?"
"My trainer, the head of this place, stupid."
Aquamarine frowned. "I don't feel like talking right now." Saying this, she launched a stream of water at Inferno, causing her to yelp and jump away. "Why don't you go jump into a lake or something?"
Shaking off the water, Inferno growled. "You will regret that. Count on it!"
Aquamarine sneered as she watched her leave. "I hate dogs like that..."
"...me, too..." came a reply.
Aquamarine's POV
Another voice! I knew something was fishy about this place! I turned around, ready to fight if I had to.
"Who said that?! Show yourself!" I demanded.
Almost instantly, the owner of the voice revealed himself, coming out of a peculiarly dark corner of the room. I was thrown off guard as I looked upon the face of another Suicune.
Its body was masculine and the shoulders were lean and straight. The color of its fur was more of an indigo color than light blue like normal Suicunes and the mane was a deep, midnight purple. The strands of ribbons on the sides were longer, with most of them wrapped around muscular legs. Its chest was broad and the patterns were nice and sleek. With brown eyes, the other dog looked at me.
"You look new. Are you from around here?" it asked, slyness in its question.
"It depends." I answered. "Are you?"
"No, this is my room. I live here, but why are you here?" it asked again.
"It's the Rockets...they brought me here..." I answered reluctantly. "They caught you, too?"
"Well, yeah, but I've always liked living here. Why not you? Or are you jealous?"
"Jealous?!" I snapped. "Of what? I just told you I don't like being here!"
"Uh, no you didn't..." the other dog said. Pausing, it spoke again. "Anyway, my name's Maelstrom. Yours?"
"Aquamarine," I answered quickly, not wanting to have another Inferno on my hands.
Maelstrom grinned. "Aquamarine. That's a pretty name."
"Whatever..."
A wave of silence passed over us until Maelstrom took a good look at me.
"Either you're pregnant, or you just got back from the all-you-can-eat buffet," he snickered.
I gave him a cold stare for that comment. "That's not funny and you know it," I said, firmly. Maelstrom quickly stopped laughed and turned away. I could tell I wouldn't like this guy... especially since I didn't want to be in here to begin with.
Feeling tired, I slowly walked to the couch, trying not to waddle for Maelstrom's pleasure. At first, I had a little trouble, since I wasn't supposed to get on couches without help. As I tried to jump on the sofa again, I felt something roughly nudge me onto the recliner. Startled, I jerked around to see Maelstrom smiling stupidly at me. He was beginning to remind me of Lightning...
"So, uh, who's the father?"
"What's it to you?"
"Well," Maelstrom perched his head next to mine, but I pulled away in irritation, "you look like you'll need a guy to help with all those puppies you might be having..."
Ignoring his offer, I put my head on a pillow. And Maelstrom promptly put his head on my stomach. I started to push him off and REALLY hurt him for doing that, but I soon stopped, due to the fact that it actually felt good to me...
Ah, well... I'll just let the dope stay there if her wants... for now, anyway...
Author's Notes: Damn! It's 5:46... again! Wow! Someone's quite the Noctowl... Hoothoot... whatever! Zubat, Golbat, Crobat... HEY, WAIT A MINUTE! WHAT AM I THINKING?! Did anyone notice the irony in Maelstrom's name? He a MALE and he can make maelstroms, or violent whirlpools! I should've named him Malestrom... :P Anyway, R&R and I hope you liked! I know I did... :P
