Hello everyone! Please don't kill me for not updating in over...two weeks now? Has it been two weeks? I'm not sure but anyways I was just being lazy which is not a good excuse but the chapter is here now. So enjoy!

Clemont, Bonnie and Serena were sitting in silence not saying a word to one another. They listened to the creaks of the house and the sound of the wind outside.
" Clemont what time is it?" Serena asked breaking the tense silence.
Clemont looked on his wrist for his watch but found it gone. Clemont looked on his other wrist, then his pockets.
" My watch is gone." Clemont said looking at Serena.
Serena groaned. " Damien must have took it so we wouldn't know what time it was so we could save Ash and get out of here."
Clemont nodded agreeing. " Then we shouldn't be sitting here we have to save Ash."
Serena looked at him and saw pure determination. Then she smiled and nodded standing up.
" Lets go save Ash!" Serena said throwing her fist in the air.
Clemont and Bonnie grinned and stood up as well. Pikachu's cheeks sparked and he had a smile on his face.
They all walked out of the room with determined thoughts to save Ash. Serena first started walking down the stairs gripping the banister so she didn't fall like Bonnie did earlier. She hadn't even made it two steps before she suddenly found herself falling. She grabbed onto something as quick as she could. Then she felt herself hit something. She opened her eyes to find herself dangling over the stair banister by one hand. Then she looked up into crimson eyes. She gasped.
" Happy to see me?" Damien said smiling.
Serena gulped and shook a little. Then she swung her left arm and gripped the banister with both hands.
" We cant have you living can we?" Damien said.
He then started pounding on Serena's fingers. She winced and looked towards Clemont and Bonnie.
They stood frozen before Clemont snapped out of it and ran toward Damien. Clemont went right through him and ended up tripping and falling down the rest of the stairs. Damien chuckled and shook his head.
" Looks like your little blonde friend cant save you now." Damien said pounding on her fingers once more.
She winced and felt her thumb on her left hand slip. Then one by one the rest followed until she was down to her right hand.
' I'm gonna die.' Serena thought in realization. Then she looked up once more into those crimson orbs.
' I have to get through to Ash. I know he's in there.'
" Ash please listen to me. I know your in there. You would never do this . Please come back. We need you." Serena said tears shining in her eyes. " Please" she said in a whisper.
Damien laughed and was about to say something when he then started screaming in pain as he grabbed his head. As soon as he started he stopped. Then brown orbs were in place of the crimson ones.
" Serena!" Ash said.
"Ash!" Serena said smiling in relief.
Before she could enjoy this reunion more, her right hand gave up on her and she started to fall. But then she felt something grab her and pull her back up. Ash had grabbed her hand and was struggling to pull her back up.
Ash managed to pull her back up and hoisted her up over the banister.
" Are you okay?" Ash said with concern filling his eyes.
Serena nodded and hugged him before pulling away blushing. Then she looked down the stairs and saw Bonnie downstairs with her brother making sure he was okay. He was up against the wall trying to reassure his little sister.
Both siblings looked up the stairs.
" Serena are you okay?!" Clemont and Bonnie asked in usion.
Serena nodded and walked down the stairs with Ash following her.
" Are you okay?" Serena said looking at Clemont.
" Other than me hitting my head a little on the stairs I'm fine." Clemont said.
Serena nodded satisfied.
" Guys what is going on?" Ash said.
Bonnie and Clemont looked up afraid for a moment but realized Ash had brown eyes instead of crimson.
" You don't remember?" Clemont asked.
Ash just shook his head. Before Clemont could answer him, Ash groaned in pain and clutched his head before he started screaming. Serena backed away from him and Clemont and Bonnie had horrified looks on their faces.
The screaming stopped seconds later and the room got colder. Then Ash's head snapped up and in place of warm brown eyes stood angry crimson eyes.
" Well, well, well I see you have escaped a...gruesome death. Such a shame really. I would have loved to see your broken body and soulless eyes. It was all because of your foolish friend my plans were ruined. I would hurry. You don't have much time left." Damien said laughing in a cruel manner before disappearing through the floor.
Clemont, Bonnie and Serena looked at one another and nodded their heads.
Ash was still in there somewhere. All they had to do was find a way to save him.
