"It's time.." I say as I get up out of bed.
"Chiko!" Rosie grabs my shoulders, preventing me from leaving my room.
I knelt down and picked up Rosie, "It's okay, Rosie, I-I just need time to myself for awhile.."
"Chiko! Chiko!" Rosie shook her head and nudged me.
"I know.. I know..but.. trust me, Rosie.. I'll be okay.."
Rosie and Emmy gave worried looks. Tails and Princess gave me baby-doll eyes.
I walked over to the door. I gripped onto the door handle and narrowed my eyes to my Pokémon, I'll be right back.." and I walked out, leaving my door slightly ajar as Elizabeth left it.
At the end of the hall, I peered around the corner making sure that the coast was clear.
Thank goodness there was no one in the corridor...I would have earned an earful from not only Elizabeth, but Samara as well.
I made my way towards the staircase. I place my hand on the door handle and head up to the next level.
Before I opened the exit door at the top of the stairs, I hear a familiar voice behind me.
"Hey, where are you going?"
