Chapter 7

Drew's eyes shot open, though he wished he hadn't looked. If the wind hadn't been knocked out of him, he would have cried May's name along with Yue.

May was lying in front of him…exactly where he had been only two seconds ago. She was scrunched in a ball and clutching her side. Drew couldn't see her face.

Drew had been sitting at the base of the tree so long; he hadn't noticed he could breathe. But once he did, he crawled over to May.

"May, May!" Drew whispered. May groaned, Drew hoped, in acknowledgement. Drew pulled her closer to him so that she was in his arms. She was shaking. Tears ran down her cheeks, he guessed, in pain.

"May?" he asked softly. May opened her eyes and looked at him. There was a long pause, finally she smiled.

"Yes?" she asked, even softer. Drew was relieved…and furious.

"What on this pokemon-covered earth made you think it was ok to jump in front of a Scyther's blade!?" He asked (although it was more a shouted question).

May was silent.

"Answer me." He said, trying to calm down.

"Because if I hadn't…you'd be dead." She said sadly. Drew was shocked, he hadn't expected that to come out of May's mouth.

"Drew…" she continued "It is true that we are lost on this island, and it is true that we do not have our pokemon…but we haven't lost everything; at least, not me." Drew looked at her with a blank stare. He didn't get it, so May went on.

"I…have…you." She whispered. Before Drew could respond, Yue lost control:

"I'll kill him!" she cried "I'll rip him to shreds before he leaves the border!" The scyther stared at the girl in surprise, she lunged for him but something pulled her back.

"Let him go…" Moonlight said softly. The scyther ran for his life, he almost tripped, and was gone as quickly as he had come.

"Why did you do that!?" Yue asked angrily.

"Don't give me that tone or you won't be learning anything about transforming into even a rock!" Moonlight hissed. Yue immediately faltered.

"Yue!" Drew called. Both Moonlight and Yue looked around, Drew was still holding May…Yue and Moonlight could tell from where they were that she didn't look very good. Yue ran over to the two.

"Is she alright-no, that's a stupid question. How bad is she?" Yue asked, horrified. Drew didn't answer, neither did May.

"I'll check if there's any more…things. Yue, I want an Arcanine to get both Drew and May over to the house, right now!" Moonlight ordered.

"Um…there aren't any Arcanine on…"

"You! I want you to get them there! Think, Yue, think!" Moonlight said crossly.

"Oh…right." Yue answered, rather sheepishly. Yue was replaced with a dog-like pokemon.

"Rar!" she said. (A/N: I use "Rar" a lot for dog pokemon…don't I?)

"You better be sorry…" Moonlight whispered as she helped Drew get May onto Yue's back. Drew climbed up next.

"Ra…" said Yue.

"I will be careful…it's you I worry about." Moonlight answered.

Drew was starting to feel nauseous, everything around him was blurred. May's mumbling didn't help either, it only made him panic more. She hadn't said a word to him this whole trip. Just her mumbling, he guessed it was because she wasn't conscious.

"Drew…" she mumbled. Drew looked down at her (a little too quickly…now he felt worse) and was surprised to see she was still asleep.

"Drew…" she said again.

"Ok…this is starting to freak me out." Drew said to himself, not even Yue heard him.

Yue set May down on a bed, she then pulled the covers over her. May was still out cold, but Yue had used Maganium's unique ability to heal hours ago. Moonlight had returned not long ago, and she told them to move her from the couch.

"Do you think she'll be ok, Yue?" Drew asked. Yue saw the worry on his face, she smiled.

"Of coarse…oh! I almost forgot, these are for you."

"Huh?" Drew asked, confused.

A/N: Ok, this was a bit short...but at least May's ok...right? Heh, heh...why are you looking at me like that? No, no! I'm innocent! Spare me! Spare me! ...Oh, you know already? Right, I knew that!
