Chapter 7 –

With one final breath Samuel Oak... was dead.

The fire around her curled around her body and the blood seemed to just disappear into the flames. She continued to stare blankly at the lifeless corpse of the professor.

From within her mind the Rin that was still in her right mind was curled up on the dark floor. She was no longer in control of her own body but at the same time it felt like she was.

A strange scent floated by her but she paid it no mind. It happened in a split second. One second she was confined within her mind and the next she was standing in the hallway on the second floor.

Her foggy mind was all over the place as she stumbled towards the familiar door leading to her bedroom. Her eyes quickly met the forms of her unconscious pokemon and she gasped before rushing forward to their aid.

She reached Absol and tried to wake them but without success.

"Absol! Guys! Come on! Wake up!" seeing as she wasn't getting anywhere she reached around to her desk for their pokeballs only for her hand to meet the smooth wood.

It was also at this moment that her eyes met the blazing flames that were consuming her home. She had been so focused on one thing that she didn't notice the danger around her.

She didn't even get a moment to think before the flames advanced towards her suddenly. On instinct, she placed herself in front of her pokemon to at least lessen their possible injuries.

It was good that she reacted quickly because not even a second later the roaring flames exploded towards the huddled group.

'Is this the end?' She thought as she squinted her eyes as they began to hurt..

The next events happened so fast that even she couldn't fully process it.

The bracelet on her wrist suddenly lit up and blinded her. Her arms immediately came up to cover them from the intense light even if that brought the light closer her face.

It was then that she realised something.

The pain had never come. The flames hadn't reached her.

She turned her head slowly and she suddenly couldn't breathe. She was too shocked.

A glowing translucent Latios floated in front of her protectively.

The familiar legendary began to glow brighter before light burst out from its form. Rin had to blink the spots out of her vision. She was quick to try and locate her old friend but came up empty. The flames were gone from the room as well.

Shaking her head, Rin let out a quiet whimper. "Why...?" She muttered in a broken tone. She didn't understand what was happening.

The smell of smoke soon invaded her nose once again. 'I have to get out of here!' The thought immediately put her body into action.

She spun around and her eyes roamed her trashed room in search for her pokeballs. She soon spotted them on the floor and grabbed them before returning Absol and the small cloud like Pokemon. She didn't want unwanted attention drawn to her because she had an uncommon Pokemon like it. She returned Absol because he was too heavy for her to carry despite her above average strength.

The roar of the flames was getting louder by the second so she shoved the pokeballs into her pocket and scooped up Vulpix and Pikachu.

As she approached the door, she hesitated before taking as deep a breath as she could and running out of the room. Her plan to not inhale too much smoke didn't work as well as planned as seconds after leaving the room she was startled by part of the floor collapsing.

Rin inhaled sharply before coughing violently as smoke invaded her lungs. Her eyes began to water which blurred her vision but she knew she had to at least save her pokemon.

With that thought in mind she began to move forward again. She hissed as the heat of the flames licked at her skin but pushed on. She reached the stairs and cursed. The goddamned stairs were aflame.

Without even stopping to think about the possible consequences, Rin shifted the two in her arms so she had a free arm before vaulting herself over the banister.

She must've miscalculated the distance because when she landed pain shot through her ankle. She let out a silent scream and fell to one knee.

Pained gasps left her mouth for a minute before she gritted her teeth and pushed herself up. Every other step was torturous. It felt as though someone was continuously stabbing her ankle with a white hot knife.

Tears streamed down her face as the flames continued to rage through her second home.

After what felt like an eternity, she managed to reach the door. With what strength she had left she managed to push the door open enough so that she could fit through.

Rin, at that moment, was filled with nothing but pain. Both physically and mentally. Her pokemon were possibly hurt because of her. She couldn't bare the thought.

As she limped away from the house she, through blank eyes, saw the worried professors and a frantic Gary staring at the house in horror.

As the small figure of Rin stumbled out of the house they froze before relief flooded their systems. It looked as though Rin had managed to get out of the house relatively unharmed.

If only they knew.

Aurea was the first to break out of her shock. She made a beeline for the stumbling girl. Good thing too, not even a second after she had stopped near her, her legs gave out under her weight.

Despite being nearly unconscious she clutched the pokemon in her arms to her tightly so that she could protect them if need be.

Aurea just managed to catch her before she fell. The blank expression scared her slightly. It was like Rin wasn't there at all.

The other professors ran over in record time. At first glance she looked mostly fine save for a few minor burns. Rowan, who had taken note of her earlier stumbling, cast his eyes onto her ankles.

Sure enough there was a fairly large sized bruise forming on her pale skin which led him to conclude that it was most likely broken.

Sycamore, for some reason, looked more worried than the other two but before he had a chance to speak the previously silent Gary beat him to it.

"Rin! Where's grandfather?!" he asked frantically. That brought worries to everyone else's minds as well. Oak had yet to get out of the burning structure. The adults immediately assumed the worst.

Rin didn't respond at all. She could only get out indistinct whimpers and incoherent mumbled. Another wave of pain shot through her when she turned to move. The stress was too much.

She fell unconscious not a moment later.

Time skip – 1 week –

One week. That's how long it'd been since the fire at the Oak residence. How long it'd been since Rin fell unconscious. How long it'd been... Since Samuel Oak was discovered dead.

Burned alive.

He had been unable to escape the flames and had perished within them. The body found within the lab had been unrecognisable but had been labelled as Oak since he was the only one unaccounted for.

Gary had been taken in by his elder sister, Daisy Oak, after the incident. Both were left alone to grieve while Rowan and Sycamore were left to sort out the selection of a new professor.

Aurea was worried about Rin but had to help her fellow professors so she came to visit every other day to quell any of her worries.

Her pokemon were all fine apart from having small traces of Propofol in their systems. Propofol was generally used for things such as surgery and the doctors had no idea how it had gotten into the pokemon's systems.

Everything had progressed so fast that everyone was stressed. Rin's guardian had been told to stay put despite their obvious worry for the girl.

It was decided that as soon as she had recovered enough, Rin would be sent to them.

Now they just had to wait to see how Rin is when she wakes.

Aurea sighed before leaving Rin's room. As soon as she closed the door, a doctor moved to speak with her. He was holding a chart and looked mildly confused.

"You are Aurea Juniper are you not? The one that brought Rin Ketchum in?" he asked.

Aurea looked confused but nodded none the less.

"We ran a full body x-ray on her about an hour ago and something weird came up..." he trailed off. It seemed that whatever he had discovered had baffled him quite a bit.

He led the woman back into Rin's room so they were away from prying eyes before speaking once more. He also pulled something off of his clipboard. What he held in front of her made confusion cloud her mind.

"These." He began, gesturing at the pictures he held. "Are what came up when scanned her."

The first few looked fine. She grimaced at the one of her cleanly broken ankle. The last one made her eyes widen in shock. From the girl's back...

Sprouted long bones that formed into wing-like shapes.

What was the meaning of this? They definitely weren't there when she had seen the girl before she was admitted to the hospital.

"These bones are... Shaped like wings? That isn't possible." If the pair had been more observant they would have noticed the 'unconscious' girl tense ever so slightly before relaxing again.

Spinning on her heel, Aurea strode over to the bed that the unconscious girl resided in and pulled the thin duvet down.

Even now, she couldn't see what was shown on the scan. The girl was laying flat on her back. So many questions swirled around in her mind and any theories she came up with just led to more questions.

"I... Don't know what to say doctor. I've never even heard of anything like this although admittedly I only met the girl recently." She said softly as she pulled the duvet back over the girl.

"Well I just thought that you'd wish to know of it. I'll take my leave now. I suggest you do the same. Visiting hours are ending soon." He said quietly before leaving with a slight bow of his head.

Aurea rubbed her temples as a headache began to make itself known to her.

"That's not normal... Everything I learn about you just gives me more questions... I will find the answers to my questions." she mumbled before a yawn escaped her mouth.

"I guess that's my queue to go..." She was gone within the next minute. The light flickered off as soon as the door closed.

Mismatched eyes snapped open and glared at the ceiling. 'I will never give you answers...' Rin thought before wincing. "Stupid injuries... Just need to bide my time..." she mumbled as a yawn escaped her mouth.

Time skip – 2 months later –

It was finally time.

Her leg had healed up nicely and Aurea had been called to a meeting. By the time she got back she planned to be long gone.

As she pulled on a black tank top a guilty feeling seeped into her chest. 'She's done so much for me... All of the professors have...' Shaking her head a bit, her determined look returned.

"No. If I stay I'll only hurt them later... Plus I don't want to go live with my relative. I need to learn to control my power..."

'And I don't want someone else to be able to make decisions for me again...' She thought, silently grimacing at the thought.

With her resolve back she finished getting dressed. She wore a black tank top with a red layered skirt that went to mid thigh. A white cardigan was added as well as a pair of thigh high socks that left a few inches between the skirt and them bare. She quickly threw on a pair of white converse.

She quickly realized that the cardigan needed to be put away if she was to fly so she took it off and tied it around her waist.

With one last look around the hospital room, she opened the large window and prepared to jump. Her wings shimmered into existence just as the door to the room slid open.

"I need to find my pokemon qui-"

Rin froze.

"...Where are you going?" said the voice of a familiar brown haired boy. Tears built in her eyes immediately. She wanted so badly to turn and embrace the boy but knew she couldn't for risk of changing her mind.

"...Away. I can't stay here. My secret's been found out. I don't know whether the person will keep it to themselves and I refuse to be singled out for being different." 'I'm also too dangerous to be around.' She added in her head sadly.

The boy made a noise as if he was thinking before he fell silent once more.

"I know I don't have the power to stop you." Gary started. "And because you're like my sister... I won't tell anyone that I saw you leave just... Be safe alright?" he asked shakily. It sounded as though he was about to cry.

He walked up to her slowly and she felt him clip something to her belt. With a quick glance she saw the familiar shiny red tops of her pokeballs. Relief flooded her system at the sight.

As she went to speak she felt his arms wrap around her waist. "...I'll miss you. Come back some day or I won't forgive you!" he said quickly and it was then that she felt his tears soak through her shirt a bit.

The thought of Gary crying made her heart clench painfully and the tears that had built in her eyes finally fell. Gary seemed to notice as he tensed before letting do.

"Go... Before you change your mind." His hands remained on her back for a minute before he pushed her out.

Not trusting herself to form a coherent sentence, she made a noise of affirmation before spreading her wings and taking off at a fast speed.

A voice suddenly resounded in his head.

"We'll meet again someday... Otouto..." Rin's voice resonated in his head and a teary grin formed on his face.

With the thought of meeting again in mind, Gary span on his heel and exited the room stealthily.

As he was about to turn the corner he saw a doctor approaching the room of his pseudo sister.

A shout of alarm was heard as he began walking down the stairs and he smiled as determination welled up in his heart.

'One day... We'll meet again. I'll become a strong trainer and researcher before then! Just you wait!' with that thought in mind he left the hospital.

Rin had to make a swift stop at her parent's house to get some necessities before hightailing it out of there. She wished she had been more observant. If she had... Well then maybe she could have avoided the incident.

The small girl had just passed the start of the sea near the coasts near Pallet Town when she first heard it... An engine.

Her eyes moved down quickly and found the source. A speed boat was following her as she flew across the sea. From what she could make out, the people on the boat had on white clothes.

Gritting her teeth she turned forward once more and tried to speed up, everything looked like a blur as she passed. Something grazed past her cheek leaving a cut but she didn't pay it any mind despite he pain. It was a clear sign that they were after her now.

A beach came into vision after what seemed like hours of flying which in reality had only been a little under one but the damned boat was still near her.

The forest near the beach was her only hope of losing her supposed pur- BANG!

Rin didn't feel anything at first before pain exploded from chest. The sudden shock of the pain was enough to make her wings fold in on themselves effectively sending her plummeting to the beach she had been headed to at ridiculous speeds... Not that she could really take notice.

Her body impacted the ground with a harsh crack but if she gained any new injuries, her mind didn't register any new pain. Quicker than she could register, her world darkened, the last things she could hear was the boat now moving away and a worried shout from a little ways away from her.

Nagisa – Heya! All done. I know it is shorter than usual but it was either this or wait until I've done my mocks in January for me to update.
