I sat up quickly, scattering a few nearby Volbeat. In the dim light of the moon and the stars, I could see Serena's sleeping figure through the hazy darkness. I couldn't tell if she was awake or asleep because her back was turned to me.
I gently shook her shoulder. "Serena?"
She groaned. "Serena," I urged. "Get up, we have to get to Lumiose City, we have a meeting with Professor Sycamore tomorrow!"
"I'm awake…" she said groggily, stifling a yawn. "I was just… waiting for you to wake up…"
It sounded like a question more than a response. She blushed. "Let's get going," she said, standing up. We packed and started off in silence. What do you know, the Volbeat really DID light our way through Route 4.
After walking for a few minutes, I heard a blood-curdling scream.
"Did you hear that!?" I asked Serena.
"Hear what?" Serena said a few moments after I said it. She turned to me with glassy eyes, she must have zoned out.
"Help me!" the voice screamed again. A girl, it sounded like a young girl. I couldn't tell where it was coming from, it was echoing all around us in the crisp, midnight air. I looked wildly around, and saw a figure several yards away.
Without even thinking, I ran. I could have sworn that the scream sounded familiar, but it couldn't be Serena, because she was standing right behind me. She was standing stock-still, not following me as I sprinted at the figure.
I stopped about a yard away. Standing above a pokemon beaten beyond recognition… was my sister. She looked up, and our eyes met.
