Chapter 13

"May?" Yue called, she had heard her scream. Silence.

"What happened?" Moonlight asked worriedly.

"I don't know…May? MAY!" Yue got up and ran down the hall. She grabbed the side of the doorway to her room to stop herself.

"May, what the—" Yue stopped. May was backed in the corner, Drew stood in front of her, when he turned an angry expression covered his face. When Yue's blue eyes met his red ones, her knees buckled.

"No…NO!" Drew whipped back around to May and lunged. May screamed once more as Drew hit the opposite wall, he was outlined in blue. Moonlight tossed him again, this time letting go of her psychic hold on him.

Drew hit the ceiling hard and just as he was about to land on the wood floor, was caught by Moonlight's Psychic and set down gently.

"May, come here," Moonlight said "you're not safe over there." May slowly walked over behind Moonlight as Drew struggled to get up.

"You're in no pain. Get up, Smoke." Moonlight ordered sharply. Drew gave her a death look as he sat up.

"Fine." He hissed "what do you want?" May could have sworn she saw a ring of green in Drew's now-red eyes, but she blinked and it was gone.

"I should ask you that question. You want something; don't take me for a fool. Now spill." Moonlight growled.

A smirk appeared on Drew's face. This was not Drew, May thought, he never put her in fear. And yet, green flickered once more in his cold eyes.

"And why would I ever mistake you for a fool, Moonlight? You've clearly proved yourself to be worth something. Although what your worth, I'm not sure of."

"Shut it." Moonlight snapped. "What would you want with Drew?"

"Oh…something." He reached for Drew's pocket. Yue squeaked and a smile curled around his face.

"Funny, I came here to take another random pokemon from you. Instead I got this." And he pulled a gold chain from the pocket, Moolight's eyes widened and he placed the chain back into the pocket. The flicker of green did not leave.

"Now, tell me. How can one use this," he gestured toward the amulet in his pocket "without him," he gestured to himself.

"Smoke…" Yue growled, recovering from her shock.

"Now, that I have surrendered my plans. I do believe I shall be going." Drew hissed as he got to his feet.

"Wait just one moment!" Yue cried. "You haven't told us anything!"

"Yes I did. Think harder, if that's possible." Drew sneered.

"SMOKE!" Yue lunged for him and was pulled back by Moonlight.

"Let him go…" she started.

"NO! I WILL NEVER LOSE ANOTHER FRIEND TO THEM! NEVER!" Tears started to build up in Yue's eyes "not like Tok…" she whispered so only Moonlight and May could here her.

"Yue, we can not do anything more. Let him go." Moonlight whispered.

And with that Drew walked toward the door, he gave May an intimidating look. May looked straight at the green and, for a moment, a look of fear flashed across Drew's face. And then, it was gone. Along with the flicker of green. Drew continued on, and Moonlight, watching every move he made, followed him.

"I'll walk him to the border." She said to only the minds of Yue and May.

Somehow, May knew something. He was not gone. Drew was trapped. Drew was Smoke's captive. And somehow, she would NOT lose him.

A young Mankey stumbled through the door. Shakily, he walked toward the voices. His blood red eyes shone with fear.

"…nobody's seen him for weeks. I know you must be worried too, but—"

"No buts! Smog, Smoke must be found as soon as…" the second voice trailed away as the speakers noticed the Mankey.

"What do you want?" the second voice asked.

"Sir, Smoke is back…I think…" Mankey started.

"Think? Orknow? We don't have time for 'think'!" Smog hissed as he floated from the shadows "I want to know if my brother is back now!"

"YES! YES SIR! SMOKE HAS RETURNED! SIR!" the Mankey stuttered.

"Good, send him in." Smog and the Mankey turned to see a boy. His skin was ghostly white, black outlined his red eyes, and his messy black hair matched his black outfit perfectly.

"Yes, Tok." Mankey whimpered.

May stared at the clock—9:47 P.M.—and for the billionth time, wished Drew was back. She looked over at his empty bed. Yue's home had a guest bedroom—she had modeled the house exactly as her older house had been, before the Red Eyed Evil—where the two coordinators had slept…but now…

"Oh Drew…" May whimpered as she drifted into sleep.

The Mankey ran out of the shadowy room and slammed the door, just as a little Espeon trotted up.

"Geez, uh…" she looked at his eyes "…Horro. Don't scare me like that."

"Oh, sorry Vesper…It's just…ya know…"

"Yeah, I do…" she gave him a sympathetic look.

"Come on…meeting's today and I barely got out of that one!" Horro said.

"Oh, I almost forgot, Triah would've killed me!" Vesper exclaimed as she rushed ahead of her friend.

oOoOoOoOoOoOo

Vesper slowed her pace a bit, so Horro could catch up, and the two walked on.

"Vesper!" They turned to see Vesper's mother, Whisper, run up to them. As soon as she got a glance of Horro's eyes she added "…and Horro, of course."

"Ma, what is it?" Vesper asked, giving her mother an impatient sigh as she kneaded the ground with her paws.

"I need to speak with you two…news from…" Whisper turned her head to see that the coast was clear before continuing. "…Moonlight."

Horro's jaw dropped, and Vesper's violet eyes met her mother's red ones.

"Smoke's got Drew, and the medallion." Whisper said.
