Emerald ran ahead and pointed toward the dining room doorway. "Hey! The doors over there!"
Green smiled in relief. She'd talk to Blue and Red. Tell them what happened. Come up with some sort of plan. "We'll talk to Red and Blue. We'll figure something out, right Yellow, Plat-" She turned around.
The spaces behind her were empty.
Green froze. Shivers ran down the back of her spine. "Emerald… where's Yellow and Platinum?"
Emerald stared back at her. He remained silent as his mind whirled. How could this be happening? The monsters were enough of a threat, but they didn't seem crafty enough to change walls and pick people off one by one. It's almost as though there's more than one thing, or person, behind this...
Perhaps a sort of... Team?
He looked up. "Green, you're right. We need help with this. We'll have a better chance with the others."
She looked back, as if Yellow and Platinum would appear behind them at any moment. "But-"
"Let's just go," he said, grabbing her hand. "I don't want to lose anyone else." Before she could protest, he dragged her through the doorway. She shot one last look behind her, just in case. Something flickered at the edge of her vision. It seemed… familiar.
What was that?
"They're certainly taking their time, aren't they?" Green said with a sigh. She continued to stare at the door. She was quietly hoping that Yellow and Platinum would return with Crystal's group. Plus, it was better then looking the other direction. Blue and Red couldn't find a better place to keep Silver's body, so he was still lying on the table.
"Uh, maybe they got lost," Red put in halfheartedly trying to cheer her up. He failed.
She buried her face in her hands. "That's even better."
Green and Emerald had came back after their little search party. They told the two boys about Sapphire, and the newly missing dexholders.
Needless to say, Blue was pissed. Gramps had told them they would be safe, and look what was happening He gritted his teeth. "They'll be fine. We're the dexholders, we always are." But, doubt swirled in his gut. He knew that wasn't true.
"Yellow? Seniors? Where are you?" Platinum called. Her voice echoed through the walls of the mansion.
Somehow, they had gotten separated. It had been dark, and though they didn't have far to go, Platinum had been slow to follow. (Well, Yellow was. Platinum didn't want to leave her.) But somehow, she ended up losing the small girl.
Now it looked like she was in another room. Maybe the storage room on the first floor?
Ghost pokemon flickered in and out of view, their creepy smiles distorted as they stared from the shadows. Platinum kept a hand over her pokeballs.
A gastly flickered into view directly in front of her. Platinum went for her rapidash's pokeball, only to have her hand swipe empty air.
Oh, yes… She forgot, nobody had their pokemon. Including her.
The pokemon chuckled darkly, its eyes glowing as its smile twisted into a demonic one. Then it rushed at her. She stumbled backwards until her back hit a support beam. The room started to shake as the rotten wood holding the ceiling cracked. Debris rained down on the girl.
Oh dear..
The gastly chuckled, before disappearing.
The room was crumbling.
Platinum frantically scrambled towards the doors as the walls fell in around her. Not fast enough, the roof came down on top of her. She was battered by the bits of falling framework. "Help! Anyone?!"
A large chunk of the beam she broke toppled over on top of her. It crushed her back and pinned her down. Glass from the window rained down on her as the window crunched under the weight of the falling held her arms over her head and the glass sliced her flesh wide open.
One of the chunks of wall toppled over on top of the beam pinning her down. Crunching filled her ears. It felt like every bone in her body was breaking.
This is it. I'm sorry everyone.
The last thing she saw was the soft rays of sunlight pouring into the room from the between the forest's canopy.
And that's the end of what was originally written. Everything from here on out will be entirely me. Ya'll are going to hate me when this is done. I'm so sorry. ;)
