He opened the door to a small room. The light in it was dim, and dust particles floated everywhere. He lead her to a small crumpled room, where a man lay upon a bed wheezing as he breathed. The man resembled to Steven a lot. He wore white clothes, with a white cape and hat. His hair, aqua.
"This is my brother, Wallace" said Steven.
Wallace looked at Esmerelda. "Who is this" asked Wallace.
"This is Esmerelda" said Steven. "She was lost" then, Steven acknowledged Esmereldas Espeon.
"That's Espeon" he said to Wallace. Wallace nodded lightly and coughed. Wallace looked at his brother.
"Listen" he began. "Just in case I don't make it, here 'she' is" Wallace handed his brother a capsule the bore the colors of Red and White.
"No" said Steven. "Your not going to die, you have to stay alive, you have to" he cried.
"Listen" said Wallace "I may not make it" all the sudden he coughed and wheezed.
"But what about the herbs I got you, they can save you" said Steven hopefully.
"No, yes they can, they can" said Steven nervously.
Wallace coughed and shook is limp head. "Steven don't expect me to live any more than a day" he said. Steven looked at the capsule his brother had handed him.
"'She' will miss you though" said Steven looking at the capsule. Esmerelda didn't even know these people, yet she shared their pain. Her Espeon whimpered as if to harmonize with the sadness that cloaked the room. Wallace blinked.
"Good-Bye Steven" he said, and his tense head became loose and he closed his eyes and he stopped moving. But he smiled on. Not a big happy smile, but a peaceful smile. Steven cried. So did Esmerelda. Stevens tears hit the capsule that lay upon his shaking hands.
He looked at Esmerelda.
"Take this" said Steven. "I can't.. bare the pain… of his old friend who lay in my hands" he looked at Esmerelda.
"Her name is Milotic" he said.
"Please take good care of her" he pleaded in despair. He looked at Esmerelda, who was weeping as well.
"Make sure she is safe" he repeated, and he hung his head low to the ground. Esmerelda felt pain for the people she only knew for a while. She never shared a pain like this. But the tears from her confusion poured out as well, not just pain. But everything. Evereything…..
