Hey you guys. Sorry for the long delay here. And the story is coming to a close soon enough. So, I'll put even more effort into these chapters than I have the last few. And thank you guys for all the support I've gotten on all my stories throughout the year. I won't keep you any longer now.
Group A: Soul, Angi, Spirit
Group B: Jenny, David, Luke, Cinnamon
Group C: Rocket Squad
Every picture has its story, and this one nears it's end. All the writing was before me. The chapters of my life were finished before my eye's. And to think, I wouldn't even be able to confess to Spirit. Here I am, Just laying on the cold hard ground, waiting to feel death's kiss as I watch the glorious smoky white figure before me taking into it's grasps. Embracing me like a newborn child.
"Don't give up Soul…your work here is not done just yet…" the angelic voice whispered into his ear.
"Just let me rest….. I can't move…I'm too tired to even move….." My voice barely audible, all one could hear is my raspy cries to leave me alone. But she did not listen to me. As she continued to prod at me, trying to get me to move my blood soaked and fragile body. She continued dribbling on, trying to convince me to get up. Had it not been for the ringing sensation in my ear, I might have heard everything, but I could make out some parts of what the angel was saying.
"No Soul… you will work through this….. You need to get up….. You need to tell her how you feel Soul." the angelic voice was growing stern with me. For what reason I don't know why. Again, I had try to get her to see the fact that I couldn't bare the pain and it took to much of a toll on my body to even turn my head at this point of time.
"But just look at me…" I paused to show all my lacerations and wounds still fresh from the fight with Luke and all trips to and from those doctors may I mind you. "I can't take or bear the pain" Starting to cry, my words started to muffle. So if she could understand me before, there was no chance now. "I really wish I could tell her that I love her….. I really do….. But she-" The angelic voice had stopped me right there, forbidding me to finish that sentence.
"No. That is not true." She reasoned "Spirit loves you with all her heart…. And you came this far… You are not going to let that poor Espeon down."
Red was blending in from the white. The white canvas outstretched before me and the angel was now becoming more dark and gritty. A room no one would want to be in. Perfect for a place for me to pass in.
"You don't understand. I don't deserve her, and even if, I know I'm going to die here shortly." rolling down my cheeks, and anger and sadness clouding my thoughts, I looked at the realistic side of things. "It wouldn't be fair to her if I confess to her and then die on the spot. You ever thought of what that would do to her otherworldly spirit?" I happened to catch a glimp of remorse in her eye as she wrapped her head around what I was saying.
"Well riddle me this…." she stopped until we were at a waterfall, a beautiful cascading waterfall.
"Where are we?" questioning the Spirit, I turned away as I coughed up some blood.
"We are by the river styx, the river of life and death. You're on the verge of passing. But not quite dead just yet." she brought be closer to the waterfall.
"You mean I have a chance at living? Wait…. Who are you? And why would I be here? Did we escape?"
"Yes…. But that's for fate to decide…"
"Wait…. What do you mean? And to which one did you say yes to?" I started to get anxious. I needed that answer right now. There was no time for riddle games.
She paused for a moment and continued to bring me even closer to the waterfall. Wind whispered into my ear as I saw the world converge around me. Everything went black as I saw nothing but the white angel holding me, and the now deep crystal blue abyss beneath her feet.
"Have you ever thought of how hard it would be for Spirit if you didn't confess to her? She would never know how you actually felt…. And she never would because you failed to tell her. She would go through life wondering if you ever loved her. She would never move on. And neither would you. Going back to that one moment that changed it all. The moment you froze on her." All I could picture was the cold eternal feeling of never knowing what could've happened between us. Would we have started a family? Would we have grown old together? I would never know…..
"And it is now time for fate to decide if you shall ever know."
She slowly dropped me into the river.
"What are you doing?!" I panicked, trying to get a grip onto her long sleeve. But to no avail, I fell into the styx. I could still hear her in my head though.
"Just remember this Soul… you need to tell her….. Confess….. That you love her…. And you will never leave her side."
Even though i'm a dark type, I would never be able to stand cold water. Gasping for air, I poked my head out of the river styx. Big mistake….. All I could see were the souls of the damned. Soul's just like me that were stuck in limbo.
All crying out in a chorus of agony, because of that one life changing moment.
Still drowning in the pool of cold water, I tried to swim, but it was no use. The harder I tried to move, the more I was being dragged down to my grave.
"Aghhh! Someone! Anyone! Help me!"
Nobody came. Nobody cared. I was drowning in a pool of despair. And no one would be here to hear my screams. Only one thought went through my head at the time.
"Who was she? And how did she know my name?" but none of that mattered at the time. The river was coming to an end. And I had no land below my paws.
Group B:
Wind blew through the forest, when combined with the trees leaves, it sounded like a symphony. Luke, David, Jenny, and Cinnamon stampeded through the forest at a blistering speed. Nothing was in sight and they had been looking for about a day now. All were tired, but they still had to push on. If they didn't, they did not know what could or was happening to the pair of eeveelutions. Jenny was the first one to break the silence between the group.
"Luke, Can you sense anything up ahead?" Jenny investigated.
Luke's hair started to slowly rise above his head. Blue aura was radiating from his hands, indicating that he was checking up ahead for any danger signs.
"No. I cannot sense anything up ahead. Were good for the next few miles." Luke's hair then dropped as he replied to the vixen.
"Any chance we can stop the running guys? We've been running all day, and being the shortest and stubbiest out of the group, can we please….." Cinnamon stopped to pant and continued. "Just….. Rest up and start first thing tomorrow?"
"I don't know…... I mean, I'm tired too but something's telling me we should get going and find Soul and Spirit." David stopped running but kept walking.
"I mean, the most we could still do is walk. But we need to keep moving at a constant pace."
"Guy's, I think I see something up ahead…." Jenny narrowed her eyes so she could focus on the point of view.
"It's a white building….. And the tire tracks lead to it….. So…. It must mean that Soul and Spirit are close by!" Jumping up and down, Luke stopped her immediately as he saw two shady people outside of the white base.
"Jenny, we can't cause that much commotion. If we do, they'll raise some alarms." David spoke up.
Jenny realizing how much trouble she could have caused, put her head down in shame.
"So David, what's the plan here?"
"I don't know Luke….. You tell me."
All was stopped as there was rustling in the bushes.
"Who's there?" David had prepared himself for an oncoming attack. Demanding an answer, he spoke up once more.
"For the final time…. State your business…. And who you are… or i will have to attack…." no one answered the angred arcanine
Group A
"Is he alive over there Angi?" Spirit bawled her eyes out. Nothing that came out of her mouth was understandable, but Angi could figure what she was saying.
"I don't know anymore…. He's not responding, they're injecting weird stuff into him…. I don't know how he is Spirit…."
Remorse lingered in her voice. She knew she couldn't do anything for Spirit or Soul. And that hurt her.
"Angi…. Keep an eye on Soul for me over there. I'm gonna try to break out of this collar. We have no other choice."
Spirit threw her head down and caught the collar as it stayed in the air for a brief second. Leather, it was made of leather as she found out. Tiny little rips in the fabric keeping the collar together were heard, but not enough to cause any real damage.
"Id's to tough to wip off!" Spirit muffled as she chewed the collar.
"Spirit, It's no use. Its reinforced leather. It's not going to rip anytime soon."
Chimes rang throughout the room as the PA system came on.
"Would the depature team carry the pokemon from port A to B; and no drinks allowed near the Pokemon." The informed
the grunts.
"What are we gonna do now?! We cant get out of here, and now theyre shipping us off to god knows where!" Angi freaked out. Her fur slowly rised with little bolts of electricity sparking.
"Angi; Ive got an idea on how we can get out!"
"How?! Cause Id like to know!" the static grew stronger and stronger with every passing moment. Like a power plant, electricity surged across the metal bars.
"Now. Angi. Aim it torwards me." Spirit boldly said. "Trust me. I know what im doing."
