Aidan Chapter 6: The Smile when you Tore me Apart, a pokémon fanfic

I do not own any of the characters that I borrow from the story "Dark Angel" by Kgmck177. Everyone should read it, then you'll understand the irony behind some of the things that happen in this chapter.

Chapter 6: The Smile When You Tore Me Apart

He had been wandering the streets for a while now and was getting tired. He was just a small boy, and not a single person would give him any food on Christmas. Leaving his footprints in the snow, he trudged along in the unbearable cold wearing nothing more than jeans and a long sleeve shirt. Shivering the boy saw some people standing in a circle around a fire. Walking over, he politely asked, "May I join you?"

One of the men stared at him with deep depressed eyes, much like his own, and moving over, he allowed the boy to sit next to him. Warming his hands, he sat with the group of kind gentlemen until morning came.

Aidan was sent flying into a tree on the side of the road as his truck exploded. Everything was blurry for a second then everything went dark.

When he awoke, there was a severe pain in his back from hitting he tree. Looking at the tree, he could see that only half of it was still standing, the other half had fallen from the force of impact. Aidan tried standing up, but it was difficult to move his body. He felt paralyzed and useless. After struggling for a minute, he got himself shakily to his feet. The rockets were gone, and the ground was littered with the bodies of fallen morphs, soldiers, rockets, and cartridges. Pieces of the trucks were everywhere, axles and tires were imbedded in trees a good distance away. Then he looked at his truck, there was a pile of rubble where his friends had been. Rushing over to it, he started pulling pieces out of the way and trying to uncover his friends. He searched for an hour and found only his guitar in its case, which was in perfect condition which he put aside. Standing up and looking around, he could see a line of fallen people, and amongst them were John, Spinny (still smiling), Kat, and Eva. Rushing over to them, he tried to wake them up starting with Katie. Holding her close in a tight embrace, he whispered into her ear, "Please wake up, Kat, Katie, wake up!"

"Fuck off I need my beauty sleep," a voice replied. Staring at her, she opened her eyes a little bit.

"You're alive!" Aidan said to his surprise.

"Huh? Oh yeah," now fully awake she looked at Aidan and said, "Yeah when our truck exploded we were still protected by Eva, but the force took all of her energy so she fell unconscious and the truck collapsed. That's the last thing I remember." Aidan held her tight for a minute. Everyone started waking up as Aidan held Kat.

Eva looked at the two of them and suppressed a tear. Standing up she walked away. Aidan saw her, and let go of Kat and said, "I have something I need to do."

"Okay," she replied realizing that not everything was right between him and Eva. Spinny woke up and looking at Kat.

"Good morning, Spinny said enthusiastically."

"Good morning Spinny," Kat replied not very cheerful knowing what Aidan had to do with Eva.

"Is something wrong, Spinny asked the pretty girl," tipping his head and his smile going away.

Kat blushed a little at his remark, but then replied, "Were Aidan and Eva going out before he left?"

"Yes, Spinny replied not thinking it was a problem."

"But…" Kat trailed off with a tear building in her eye.

"Eva," Aidan said without emotion putting a hand on her shoulder. Turning she slapped him hard across the face.

"How could you!" Eva exclaimed quietly.

"I thought you were died six months ago."

"That gives you reason to run off with some random-."

"She's not a random girl. Katie was my first girlfriend who I never technically broke up with."

Eva started crying. Aidan wrapped arms around her and said, "Don't cry, I never broke up with you either."

"Then who are you going to choose," she replied defiantly.

Aidan thought for a moment, and said for the first time in his life, "I don't know what I'm going to do."

Eva stood in front of Aidan, failing to suppress tears that flooded her eyes. Aidan put his hand against her face and rubbed her eye with his thumb wiping away the tear in her eye. Then walking away, he went to a tree and sat down with his guitar out. He started playing "Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Looking forward down the road he could see something in the distance, it looked like a young girl. Putting down his guitar, he looked closer, and to his surprise, it was a young girl, she was dressed in rags, and a horn rose out of her head. She collapsed from exhaustion, and Aidan ran over to her. He was then in fifteen seconds and went to check her pulse on her wrist, but when he pulled back her sleeve there was fire around her wrist, so instead he put his fingers against her neck, and found a pulse. Picking her up with his good arm he held her in the fireman's carry and carried her back to where everyone was. Everyone was shocked by the girl, and they helped Aidan set her down while Spinny procured some clean water from nowhere. Literally, he moved his hand like a magician and suddenly he had a water bottle in his hand. Dripping some of the water on her head, it turned to steam instantly. The girl awoke suddenly and sat up; her blonde hair with red tips followed her. She tried to get up and run, but Aidan grabbed her and said, "Hold on, we're trying to help you."

She attempted to kick him in the face, but her body was stopped from moving, and looking around, she saw one of the most beautiful ladies she had ever seen. She looked exactly like a Gardevoir except with some human features. The lady was holding out her hands which were glowing blue. 'She is a Gardevoir morph!' she thought suddenly. Then relaxing, she sat down.

"Thank you Eva," Aidan said nodding to her, and she returned it letting go of the girl.

Kat then said, "So what's your name little girl?"

"Huh," the girl said looking over at Kat, with her deep dark eyes. "Oh, I'm Rebekah," she stuttered with a scared voice, since she was surrounded by a bunch of strange people.

"Don't worry, we won't hurt you, Spinny said in calming voice." Rebekah laughed when Spinny said this and looked at him. She could see the swirls in his eyes and his open mouth smile.

"Are you a Pokemorph?" she asked him.

"Yes, I'm a Spinda morph, Spinny said confidently."

"Actually, four of us are," Kat said to her.

"Really!" Rebekah said happily.

"Yes, I'm Kat, a Skitty morph."

"Oh, and I'm John, I'm a normal human, I think."

"I'm Aidan and I'm an Absol morph."

"And I'm Eva, a Gardevoir morph," the girl she had seen first said.

"It's nice to meet you all!" Rebekah said overjoyed that she had finally meet people like her. Then Eva walked over and pulling everyone aside, she said to them in a small huddle, "Do you think we should take her along?"

"We can't just leave her here," Kat argued.

"I see no good reason not to," Aidan added.

"She could be a nuisance," John interjected.

"However, she may also be good at fighting which will help, Spinny said in rebuttal."

"And I'm for taking her, so it's everyone against one; that means she's coming."

"Fair enough," John replied shrugging.

They all walked back to Rebekah who looked very nervous, "We want you to travel with us for a time," Eva said with a large smile on her face. Rebekah's eyes instantly lit up with happiness. "Do you want to travel with us?"

"Of course," Rebekah said. 'Someone finally accepts me!'

Everyone deciding they had had a hard enough day already, all sat down and just relaxed. Aidan pulled out his guitar and started playing a song he had learned recently called "Angels" by Within Temptation. Kat knew the song by heart since it was her favorite song. As Aidan played, Kat began singing hitting every note perfectly.

Sparkling angel I believe
You were my savior in my time of need.
Blinded by faith I couldn't hear
All the whispers, the warnings so clear.
I see the angels,
I'll lead them to your door.
There's no escape now,
No mercy no more.
No remorse cause I still remember

The smile when you tore me apart.
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they'd turn into real.
You broke a promise and made me realize.
It was all just a lie.

Tears began to come from Kat's eyes. Aidan noticed and started feeling like playing this song was a bad idea.

Sparkling angel, I couldn't see
Your dark intentions, your feelings for me.
Fallen angel, tell me why?
What is the reason, the thorn in your eye?
I see the angels,
I'll lead them to your door
There's no escape now
No mercy no more
No remorse cause I still remember

The smile when you tore me apart
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they'd turn into real.
You broke a promise and made me realize.
It was all just a lie.
Could have been forever.
Now we have reached the end.

This world may have failed you,
It doesn't give the reason why.
You could have chosen a different path in life.

Rebekah watched intently listening to the meaning in the lyrics and understood. Kat turned to Aidan crying and gave him a short look of depression and walked off. Spinny stared after her, at least that's how it looked, he could have just been staring off into space, you can never tell with him.

Eva had started crying during the song, the words had spoken to her, and she felt the same way, so turning she walked the opposite direction of Kat, to sulk. Rebekah watched the emotions floating around and could feel the tension in the air, not sure what was going on, she walked over to weird guy in the group. Spinny looked up as she walked over with his strange smile still on his face.

Whispering, Rebekah asked, "What's going on with those two girls and that boy?"

"From what I understand, Aidan is in love with both girls. Kat was his original love from when he was younger, Eva was his more recent love. For a time everyone thought Eva was dead on one of her missions. She eventually returned, but Aidan was gone on his mission before she got back. So when Aidan got back he met Kat again and fell back in love with her, Spinny whispered quietly."

"I don't get it, why doesn't he just choose one?" Rebekah whispered to Spinny.

"Because it's like choosing which friend should live and which should die," came a voice from behind her. Looking back she could the guy who had been playing the guitar, she remembered his name as Aidan.

"Um, sorry," Rebekah said looking down.

"It's alright, nothing too get worked up about, just try to gossip a little quieter, I could hear you over there." Then walking away Aidan sighed and went after Kat first. The two of them began talking and then walked off the road and into the woods a little ways. Rebekah being curious went after them to try and see what was going on. Sneaking behind trees and such, Rebekah got close enough that she could hear what the two of them were saying.

"Kat, I'm sorry but I don't know who I want to be with."

"It's alright Aidan, it's not your fault, you thought she was dead, and you didn't think you'd ever see me again, I completely understand."

Rebekah looked out from behind the tree to try and see what they were doing. Kat standing faced away from Aidan who was right behind her holding her waist.

'I hope I never have to be part of a love triangle like this!' Rebekah thought starting off back towards the road where everyone was.

Once she arrived, she looked for Eva, the lady that had been so nice to her. Eva was leaning against a tree, obviously upset. Rebekah walked over to her and tapped her on the shoulder.

Without turning she said, "Not now Rebekah, I am not feeling so great."

"I know, Spinny told me all about it."

"Did he? Well, I will have a talk about this with him later," she replied in a slightly angry tone. Spinny, who was messing with his pokenav, trying to get reception, suddenly felt like he should just run in any direction but towards Eva, but decided to ignore it, and continue trying to figure out how to fix the bad reception issue.

"Why are you so upset though?"

"You will understand what it is like to have the man you love, break your heart, when it happens to you, and I can guarantee it will happen to you."

"That Aidan seems like a jerk to me. I'm not sure why."

"That is what I thought when I first met him. He seems cocky by being so unemotional, and can be very blunt. However, what you need to understand about Aidan, is that he does not mean to offend. He grew up with very little social interaction with anyone other than his mother. So do not assume some one is a bad person because sometimes they act like it, because those people may end up being the most important person to you."

Rebekah sort of understood and shrugged. Eva smiled at her and said, "Maybe you should just not worry about for now, okay?" Rebekah nodded and walked back over to Spinny.

"Eva said she wants to talk with you later about telling me about the love triangle," Rebekah told him innocently standing next to him.

Spinny stopped what he was doing instantly and looked at Eva who glared at him. Spinny stood up causally, and turning away from Eva he ran like there was no tomorrow, because there wouldn't be if he didn't. Watching him run off Rebekah sweatdropped as Eva laughed demonically from afar.
