A New Perspective: Chapter 7
Everything was a blur. One second Alex was walking home with a big smile on his face. The next, he was thrown hard onto the ground. He awoke from his knocked out state. He was still a bit wozzy when someone entered his vision. "Oh my are you alright?" The feminine voice asked. "This is all my fault. I knew coming here was a bad idea." She then noticed Alex openning his eyes. "Thank arceus your alright. Listen no time to explain we have to-"
"I know your here there's no point hiding." Another voice said. Alex shook his head and leaned up.
"Whats happened?" Alex said getting a look at the girl next to him. Her eyes were yellow like his. She had whtie skin with red designs on it. With a closer look he noticed she had...wings?
"Come on we have to-"
"Ah there you are." Alex looked over and saw a blaziken enter the area. "You know your a lot of trouble girl. Why don't you just come quietly and I can get my buisiness in this city done."
The girl looked at Alex who at stood up. She was behind him. "Okay." He said still a bit dizzy. "What the hell is going on and how did I get here?"
"I'm here for the girl. You." He pointed towards Alex. "Are not of my concern. Get out of my way. I'm very busy and I here with my son. He's in some stupid contest..."
Alex glared at the man. "What the hell did she do to you?" Alex asked.
"She did nothing to me." The blaziken said. "My boss is interested in legendaries. He hired me to get her. I agreed because I was going to be here anyway."
Alex looked at the girl. She was crouched behind him looking up at him. Alex grinned and nodded. "Okay you can have her." Alex said. The girl's face change to that of shock.
"Okay now give her-"
"If." Alex interrupted. "You can get through me." Alex took a battle stance.
"You're joking right?" Alex shook his head. "Okay fine then-" The blaziken tried to move but his legs were tied. "What the-" He looked down to see grass had covered his legs. Alex took his chance.
Alex looked towards the girl. "After I do this I'll need you to get me out of here okay?" She nodded and stood up. "Okay. Hey buddy." He looked up. "I hope you can fly."
"Do I look like I have wings!" He shouted trying to tear his feet away. Alex glowed that same change glow and charged at the immobile enemy. When he made contact the grass ripped allowing Alex to fling the blaziken into the sky. Alex looked up to see him flying away. He grinned and fell over.
Alex shot up. He looked at his surrounds. He was in a hospital bed. He tried to remember what had happened when he heard someone talk. "A-are you okay?" Alex screamed and fell out of his bed. He lifted a hand over and pulled himself up. "Oh sorry I didn't mean to startle you." The girl said. "Thanks for saving me. I'm Abigail."
"Alex." He said. "What happened? I mean... Before that whole fight."
Abigail sighed. "I was flying on my way over here. Someone sent an invitation to me so I decided to some. Thats when that guy attacked me. He got one of my wings." Alex noticed the bandage of it. "And I fell... Onto you."
"That explains why I was knocked out." Alex said. "No worries he's gone for now."
"But he'll be back." Abigial stated. "As long as I'm here that is."
"Great." Alex said.
"What?" Abigail asked.
"The tounement is in a few days." Alex explained.
"Well I'm sorry for dragging you into that whole mess." Abigail apologized.
"it's alright. I have a nag of protecting others." Alex stated. Abigail laughed. Alex remembered something. "Oh crap!"
"What? What is it?" She asked.
"I have to get home." Alex said gathering his jacket. "I have to get a suit ready for tomorrow."
"Whats tomorrow?" Abigail asked.
"A dance at my school." Alex said. "I have a date."
"Oh that sounds like fun!" Abigail said. "I would love to come but... I don't have a dress."
"Don't worry I'm sure you'll find one." Alex said. "Well I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow." Alex waved goodbye but Abigail stopped him.
"Wait!" She said running to him. "I don't have a place to stay. Could I come with you?"
"Fine." Alex said. "But just for the night okay?" She nodded. "Okay follow me. If you see anything weird tell me." Abigail followed Alex out of the city. Shortly after they arrived at his house. Alex walked up to the door and openned it with his key. Alfred stood near the door.
"You're late." He said.
"Ya well I was a little busy." Alex motioned towards Abigail.
"Oh no what have you gotten yourself into this time." Alefred said rubbing his head.
"She just needs a place to stay for the night okay." Alex stated.
"Fine the guest beds upstairs you look tired go ahead and sleep." Alfred said. Abigail thanked him and headed up stairs. "First door on the left!" He shouted. "So are you ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be." Alex stated. For the next couple of hours or so Alfred helped Alex get his suit ready. It was a regular black suit with a purple tie, Alex like the color pruple so what. Alfred gave him a pair of dress shoes but then realised his stupidity. After another hour of getting things together they were finished.
"So how to I look?" Alex asked.
"You should really get your hair cut." Alfred stated.
"What no." Alex said. "I like my hair like this."
"Well atleast get the end tied it's all over the place." Alfred said.
"Ya thanks mom." Alex said sarcastically.
"Hey I'd watch my tone this is MY suit remember." Alex rolled his eyes. "So you did ask Aurora?"
"Not really." Alex said. "She asked me." Alfred was about to say something. "And don't even say it."
"I told you so." Alfred said smuggly. Alex glared at him for a second.
"Whatever. Lets just get this stuff off. I'm tired." Alex said. Alfred agreed and in less than fifteen minutes Alex was out of the suit and in bed.
The next morning was, as usual, quite boring. Alex woke up refreshed and ready for the day. He got dress in his normal outfit, seeing as most people wear the same if not close to the same clothes ever day, and headed down stairs. Alfred was cooking breakfeast and Abigail was sitting in a chair waiting. Alex rubbed his eyes as he took a seat. He looked to Abigail. He had on a red tank top and blue shorts. She seemed happy. Alfred finished the food and got the plates set up.
Not to many words were exchanged during the meal. Alex got his school stuff and went to leave. Abigail stopped him and insisted she go with him. He caved and now their on their way to the school. "So Abigail where are you from?" Alex asked.
"Oh not really from anywhere." She stated. "I travel alot. How about you?"
"I spent most of my life here." He said. "Never really left."
"Oh well you should travel sometime it's fun." She stated. "You get to meet knew people, go to places you've never been. It's always a fun adventure."
"Ya I guess." Alex said. "I guess I'm not the adventuring type."
"Well once you've tried it I'm sure you'll like it." Abigail said.
"Maybe..." Alex said. "Here's the school." Alex said pointing towards the large building.
"Wow. I've never seen one so big." She said.
"Ya. They have a lot of sponsers." Alex explained. "Some fo the best doctors, workers, and soldiers come from this place. It's got to be big to fit all the students." Alex and Abigail approached the front door. "Well here we are." Alex openned the door. The halls were filled with students talking about this and that. Alex led Abigail through all of them and to their first class.
"Why are we going to your classes?" Abigail asked.
"Well since you'll be here for some time might as well take some class right?" Alex ask. She nodded in agreement. Alex openned the door and noticed the teacher was not there. In fact the whole class was gone. "What the-" The announcment came on.
"Attention all students in celebration of the tournement all classes are canceled until further notice."
"Never mind." Alex said.
"So what now?" Abigail asked.
"Well I guess we go outside." Alex said. "Not much to do in and I'm sure my friends will be happy to see you."
Alex led Abigail outside and to the table where Desmond was at. Alex saw Alica and Desmond sitting by each other and Aurora sitting on the other side. Alex and Abigail approached them. "Hey guys." Alex said with a wave.
"Oh hey Alex." Desmond said. Alica waved hi.
"Who's that Alex?" Aurora asked.
"Oh this is Abigail." He motioned towards her. "She's here for the tournement to."
"Hello." Abigail said.
"Well grab a seat we were just talking about tonight." Desmond said. Alex took a seat next to Aurora and Abigail took one on the end. "So what are you guys planning to do?"
"Well I thought we'd just show up, have something to drink, maybe even dance." Aurora said looking at Alex.
"I-I guess ya." Alex stated.
"Ahh ils sont si mignons." Alica said.
"Je suis d'accord avec vous sur que l'on." Desmond said.
"Anyway what about you guys?" Alex asked.
"Oh well we were going to go together." Alica said.
"Ya. So we'll see you tonight?" Desmond asked.
"Of course." Aurora said. She looked at Abigail. "What about you?"
"Oh I guess I'll come." She said. "But I have nothing to wear."
"I'd be glad to lend you a dress." Alica said. "I have plenty of them. I'm staying at the hotel stop by when you can."
"Okay thank you." Abigail said.
"It's not a problem." Alica said. "Just be there about an hour before hand so we can pick out a nice dress."
"Okay." Abigail said.
"So now what do we do now?" Alex asked. "We got all day to do nothing."
Desmond thought. "How about the pool?"
Aurora shot up. "Oh yes!" she said excitedly. "I haven't gotten to swim since I came here. Please can we go?"
Everyong but Alex got up to leave. "Hey Alex whats wrong?" Desmond asked.
"I... Nothing lets go." He said standing up. The group made their way through the school the the pool. It was rather large. The pool had three sections: the normal area, the place were people go to relax and such. The laps area, if you don't know what this is you my friend are not bright. And finally the diving area, once again you're not bright. All students were required to bring some kind of swim wear to school just in case they get the class.
"Wow it's huge!" Aurora said.
"Yes I believe a lot of swimming competitions are held at this school." Desmond stated.
"What isn't held at this school." Alex said sarcastically.
"Okay you guys go get ready we'll be back out soon." Alica said. The girls headed to the girl's locker room. Desmond and Alex made their way to the boy's. Desmond wore orange trunks that had a few floral designs on them while Alex wore black trunks. Alex hated not having a shirt on. They both left the locker room after locking up their stuff. Desmond was the first one in the water.
"Ah it's so nice. Come on Alex get in here." Desmond said.
"Umm I'm not a water person." He said slowly.
"Then why'd you come with us?" Desmond asked.
"I didn't want to hurt Aurora's feelings." Alex stated.
"Ah here's the girls." Desmond said. Alica wore a green one piece that allows the small gem on her chest to show through. Abigail wore a red two piece so her wings cold be free. Alex gazed for an ackward amount of time at Aurora. She wore a crystal blue two piece that fit her body well. As they approached the girls giggled and snapped Alex out of his trance.
"Come on Alex lets take a swim." Aurora said taking his hand.
"Uhh I..." Alex started.
"Whats wrong Alex?" Aurora asked.
"I don't know how to swim." He said lowering his head. "Never got the chance to learn."
"Oh it's alright I'll stay in the shallow end with you." Aurora said leading him to the other side of the pool. The water only reached his waist but by sitting down it was at his neck. Aurora sat next to him and layed her head on his shoulder. "See not so bad." Alex nodded resting his head on hers. Alex's mane acted as a cushion so their backs didn't touch the rough side of the pool.
For the next hour or so they just sat and wtach the other three swim, dive , and, in Abigail case, fly around. They didn't talk or anything, just sat there and relaxed. That was until someone had to go and ruin it.
"Well would you looky here." Alex and Aurora looked to the entrence to the pool. Stood there was a young blaziken. "I've been dieing to get a good swim." Now you may be thinking, but don't. Not all fire types hate water. Alex glared at the boy.
"Whats wrong?" Aurora asked. "Do you know him?"
The memory of what the other blaziken said came to mind. "Ya he looks like guy who tried to capture Abigail." Alex stated.
"Well whats he doing here?" Aurora asked.
"That might be his son. He's in the tournement." Aurora gulped. "Don't worry I told you I'd win. So creeps like him and his father don't get to you."
"Hey man what's up?" Desmond asked oblivious to the conversation between Alex and Aurora and the terrified look of Abigail who now was hiding near the sealing.
"Well I was hoping to be here by myself." The blaziken said. "Oh well." The boy looked other and saw Aurora and Alex. He walked over slowly. The guy had on fire red trunks. Alex moved defensively towards Aurora. "Well hello there pretty lady." He said smovely.
"Go away." Aurora said. "We're just trying to relax."
"Oh well why not dump this..." He looked at Alex. "Trash and come hang with me."
Alex growled. "Because..." Aurora said taking Alex's arm. "I'm with him."
"Oh to bad." he said. "You went for this pathetic beast instead of a real-" But he didn't get to finish. Alex pounced knocking the boy to the ground. He Alex backed off allowing the boy to stand up. "Oh you just messed witht he wrong guy. Name's Ray Kasai and you remember it because it's the last name who'll ever-" Once again he was stopped before he could finish. Instead of Alex this time it was Aurora. Apparently she threw a hydro pump at him knocking him into the wall.
"Leave him alone." She said angrily. "And you'd better hope you don't fight him in the tounement because I won't be there to stop him." Alex growled again before Aurora took his arm again leading them out of the room. Aurora grabbed 2 towels handing one to Alex. He wrapped it around himself taking a seat on a bench. "Alex don't worry about him. I don't think he'll be getting up anytime soon."
Alex chuckled. "Ya but I think it's best to avoid anymore people until tonight." Alex said.
"Good idea." Aurora said. She leaned in and gave him a kiss. "I'll see you tonight." And with that she left to the locker room leaving Alex sitting there with a smile on his face.
Okay now onto my question. I got the idea to start a new story today. Now heres the thing. I don't like working on mor than one story at a time. I also have a problem where if I let and idea sit for to long it slowly slips from my grasp. So do you guys want to see another story from me or do you want it lost for ever in the deep void that is my mind? I would love to work on it but I'm leaving ti up to you.
PS if I do start the next story, I'll being doing this and that one by atleast 5 chapters before going bac to the other one. This is to help me. If I do some of this story then some of the other it helps balance out the ideas in my head and while writing one it gives me stuff to add to other. It's a win win if you ask me but what ever.
I hope you guys enjoyed and sorry but from now on I'll be updated every other day or so. It's hard to keep writing a chapter of atleast 3k words everyday. So if you don't see a chapter everyday it's because of that.
With that out of the way, This is Raziel 'Eric' Beyon and I hope you have a nice day :)
