Chapter twentie- eight: Dream End
'Beai? Is anything the matter?' That voice woke her up from any thoughts that were going on in her mind. IT was Richan. He had came for her to see what was wrong with her. She was so deep into her thoughts that she had lost track of the timing. 'You have been here for more than two hours, I wonder if there is anything wrong that may be bothering you.'
He's so caring. He cares about me, and I have stupidly rejected his hand. What is wrong with me nowadays? I hope I have came up with an explaination... 'Nothing's the matter. I was just deep in my thought. I was wondering... are you still upset at my disapproval of your hand?' Her amber eyes are starting to widen a bit with hope.
At the question, he chuckled politely. 'Silly one. I am no longer upset.' But soon after his words, he stopped chuckling, and had a bit of a blank and stern face. 'Though I had found out why you had disapprove me...' He started to trail off, but he started again, 'I just couldn't help myself before.'
'Couldn't help yourself from what?' Her eyes are starting to widen a bit more than before. She had remember when she was huggled by him. But why, is the question here. She then added to her past sentence, 'is it because... you huggled me from before?'
Richan quickly turned his head towards her. His face was beginning to turn into a bright hue of pink. 'Y- yes,that was it.' He turned his head down and said in a quiet voice, 'because I couldn't help myself.' He lifted his head, turned to Beai, and said again in the same tone of voice, 'because you are just... beautiful.'
Beautiful? Beautiful! What does he mean that I am beautiful? I am...not beautiful. In fact... I am hideous. I am definatley, hideous. If I am not, then how come I have to get an arranged marriage instead if a normal one? Well, that proves it.' She felt her eyelids drooping a little. She then said, 'Richan. You are wrong. I am not beautiful. Even if I am, why do I need an arranged marriage? Why not just a... normal marriage...?' Her voice had trailed off, and she jumped off the bed, without Richan's answer. 'I think I need to leave,' was all she said before she had bounded off.
Later that day, she had found out that she and her parents can stay the night. Her parents can stay in the guest's room while she can stay and sleep in Rosalind, one of Richan's sister's, room. As soon as she got there, she saw two beanbad chairs, a desk, a bendy lamp, and a pokemon- sized, single sized bed. There was also a fluffy mat on the floor that looks like a small sized matress. Perfect for her size.
'Um,' Beai started, her eyes darted at the mat, 'who's going to sleep there?'
There was a giggle, and then an answer, 'well, it depends on who wants to sleep there. I don't mind where I want to sleep. I don't even mind sleeping on the floor! So, take your pick.' Rosalind was a pretty roselia, but she had strange markings on both her lower and upper eyelids on each eye. The markings look like two bended arrows followed by a small round mark. She explains that she got them when she was just born. 'It was already there for some reason,' was always her answer. But to make up for it, she had a cute face: large deep green eyes that seems to glow a brilliant blue at night, a small face with a tiny mouth that seems to smile constantely.
'I think that I'll sleep on the mat on the ground. You can have the bed. Hey, it's your hou--- er, mansion. So, why not?'
With that, Rosalind jumped onto the satin matress, and layed her head onto the silk pillow. As soon as the bother of then are on lying down on something, Rosalind asked, 'Beai? Do you... really like my brother? You know as a friend, or someone...you like the most?'
She flinched at the question, but then took a deep breath. 'I...I really don't know. But in truth...I...I... I really...lo---LIKE! I mean, uh, I mean, I LIKE him...' As soon as she had stopped stammering, she was calm.
She heard Rosalind giggle. 'Oh, I know you LIKE him, but you are hiding the truth, you LOVE him! Admit it!' Fortunately, she didn't see Beai blushing like a strawberry. A few minutes later, they both of them had drifted off to sleep.
----------------------The Next Day------------------
Beai was woken up by a scream that came from the kitchen. 'Someone! Oh dear Latias, help!' The voice had belonged to Mrs. Rose. She sounded frantic, as if something terrible had happen.
Beai dashed down the stairs. I bet you haven't seen anyonbe who had dashed out of the room and down the stairs in such speed. As soon as she had reached the kitchen, she had stopped, shocked. There was a body on the ground. At first, she thought it was either Richan or one of his other two brothers, but as she took a closer look, she knew that she was wrong. It was Catteniel(for you who don't remember, it's Richan's father). There was a knife that went inside his neck, and a clear pinkish blood was everywhere within a four feet radius.
Mrs. Rose was crying, her tears streaming from her eyes to her face. A few more members from Richan's family came and witnessed the tragedy. Richan came out last. He was absolutely speechless. Beai could tell that he was trying hard to fight back the tears that are about to leave his eyes. Tears for the death of his father.
The next day, Mrs. Rose was dead. She was dead by the living room with a blade like arrow in her torso. She had on a blank expression, and blood covered the chair she was on. Something is saying that on her last moment in the pokemon world, she was about to die of a broken heart. Upset at her beloved husband's death, she wished that she was with him right then. Someone had forfilled her wish.
The next was Anegi, his sister. She was buried in the fruit garden of a Meganium farmer by the name of Oshiti. Then was the death of Mai, his youngest sister. She was buried next to Anegi. Yoshi was next, then Yuki. Hiro was the last one. The only ones that are still alive are Richan and Rosalind.
The both of them have disbanded when Rosalind was caught by a creepy trainer. Richan tried to rescue her, but he had failed to do so. It seems like he's the only one that is left of his family. At such a young age, too. Beai wanted to comfort him, but now his family's gone, he only raised his arm and said, 'don't touch me.'
---------------------------------------------------------------
That seems to be it. All of those images show of this. All of it. All them, sad and sudden. No wonder why Richan is such a hard head at times. He doesn't just want to battle. he wanted to battle for strength. He was training, to avenge his family(yeesh, sounds like Sasuke, no?). But all of this was crushed by... Renelis Harava Thorn...
