Chapter 6: Kill the Lights. Ikarishipping! I changed the name.
By the way, over 1,550 hits. That makes one happy authoress! Thanks for all the reviews, you guys are the most freaking amazing people ever! :)
And one more thing, I have a lot of twists, starting with this chapter. Ha. As a treat for my readers, the next few chapters will have something you will never guess. Ha.
Me: I'm exhausted, someone do the disclaimer and we'll start the next chapter.
Drew: You aren't going to go on about some random thing? I'm surprised.
May: That's not normal!
Paul: Eh… you all are very odd. SurferGurl14 doesn't own Pokémon.
Me: Thanks Paul. Just an FYI, there will be attempted rape and implied sex in this chapter, but it's not in detail. Here we go! Chapter 6: Kill the Lights! Some of it will be in Dawn's POV.
(Third Person POV)
Dawn walked downstairs, exhausted. She had been trying to do in-depth research for the prophecy and everything and only got four hours of sleep.
Misty greeted her. "Hey sleepy-head."
May stuffed a piece of pancake in her mouth, "Late."
Leaf was smiling, "Good Morning!"
That was odd. Leaf was really happy for a girl who just lost her powers. Dawn wondered…
"Hey Leaf? Did you get your powers again?"
"No."
Misty clapped her hands. "The guys said they would give us a ride to school."
May and Dawn exchanged a disgusted look.
Then May looked questioningly toward Misty, "But it's a five minute walk. You almost chewed our heads off for asking to take the car. Now you're excited about riding a motorcycle to school?"
Misty looked uncomfortable but was saved when the doorbell rang.
Dawn sighed. Leaf and Misty were acting extremely weird. Maybe it was love. But Dawn was too cranky and tired to be happy for her friends.
And she had to ride on Paul's motorcycle. If he said one word to her, she was going to blow up in his face.
She picked up her bag and walked outside to see 3 motorcycles instead of 4.
"Where's Paul?" Dawn asked.
"He's playing hooky, you're riding with me and red," Drew said gesturing toward his motorcycle.
The ride to school was definitely awkward with 3 people on the motorcycle but May was relieved that Dawn was there. It saved her from Drew's presence.
Dawn and May walked over to the school vending machine to get some energy drinks so Dawn wouldn't be snoring in class.
They both stood in front of the respected vending machine where May got a bag of cookies and Dawn got a Monster energy drink.
"May, I'm going to hit my locker before class."
"Well I'm not waiting for you. See you in class."
Dawn trudged to her locker and quickly fiddled with her lock, trying to remember the combination. 14-52-31. The locker opened, much to Dawn's relief.
She exchanged her things and quickly chugged her drink. She should be awake for class.
Dawn felt a rush of energy and walked confidently to class, looking almost flawless, not like a girl who got about 4 hours of sleep.
But as she entered the classroom, she looked around her. Have you ever had that feeling where you think someone is watching you? Well that's the feeling Dawn had as she walked to Biology.
Dawn sat through and took notes on the mitochondria all throughout Biology and was whispering with May. But throughout the whole class, Dawn still had that feeling that someone was watching her.
She quickly read a couple of minds.
'This is so boring.'
'This would be a good chance to ask out Liz.'
'Man, what time is lunch already? I'm fucking starving.'
Nothing seemed out of the usual. Dawn shrugged off the thought and packed her bag.
As the bell rang, she put her bag on her shoulder and walked out to lunch.
What she didn't notice was one mind watching her leave from the desk behind her, with one creepy thought.
'Ha. Dawn, you have no idea what I have in store for you.'
Dawn was greeted in the lunch line by her friend Melody.
"Hey Dawn!"
"Hey Melody, what's up?"
"The funniest thing happened in drama."
"Really? Tell me at the table."
Recently their table grew from just the four of them to six, adding Melody and Zoey, a friend of Leaf's.
As the six girls sat at their table, Melody began telling her story; but Dawn was watching Leaf.
Leaf's eyes were moving from their table to another table. Another table that happened to contain a certain Gary Oak.
Everyone was now watching Leaf even though she was completely oblivious.
"You know what," Leaf said, "I'm going to tell Gary that I like him."
Misty smiled, "You go girl."
Leaf was pleased by all the encouraging words and stood up, just in time to see a pretty brunette walk over and sit down next to Gary, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
Gary responded by putting his arm around her.
Leaf's face went from shock to pure agony.
She sat back down and put her head to the table and didn't bring it back up.
Zoey put a hand on Leaf's back. "Leaf, I'm so sorry."
Misty dismissed the girl sitting by Gary, "Come on Leafy, you're way prettier than her."
Melody scrunched her nose, "He's not worth it if he can't realize that he's an idiot for choosing a whore over you, Leaf."
Leaf brought her head back up and plastered on a fake smile. "I'll be fine. He's just one guy."
'One guy that lost you your powers,' May couldn't help but think.
(Dawn's POV)
I've had enough. "Hey guys, I'm going to walk around for the rest of lunch."
I got up and walked out of the cafeteria.
I want to go home and sleep! This prophecy is confusing the hell out me. And another thing, the guys. We are paired with the jerks of this school excluding Ash. He's just dense.
Drew is okay; he's just arrogant.
Gary's just a playboy. Melody told me he was a new girl like every week; so is Leaf supposed to be last week's whore? Just look at what he did to her! She's devastated.
And Paul, he is a cold-hearted jerk and he doesn't talk. I tried so hard to break through his little shell on our date. All I got was blunt answer but he was perfectly fine talking to his friends. Just not me; but why does that bother me? I'll tell you why. Because I was so nice to him; he hates me for no reason. As I said before, he's a jerk. No, he's the king of jerks.
Goddamn, I swear I'm about to pass out. Maybe I should go get another energy drink.
Okay, Dawn. Distract yourself; read some minds or something.
'Dawn Berlitz is all alone in the hallway? This is a perfect time.'
Perfect time for what?
'Time to set the trap.'
Trap? What the hell is going on?
'Keep walking Dawn, you're almost where I want you to be.'
I quickly turned around the corner instead of going straight.
'No matter where you turn, I have you cornered.'
Oh yeah? We'll see about that. I turned around and started walking back.
'Tsk, tsk. It seems you have fallen right into my trap. There is no escape now.'
Shit. Dead End. I turned around, my back against a row of lockers as I saw a shadow blocking my exit.
"Who's there?" I called out.
"No need to be scared, Dawn. This won't take long."
"Show yourself coward!"
"Have it your way," the shadow stepped forward revealing…
"Lucas," I hissed, "What do you want and why have you trapped me?"
"Can't you guess Dawn, darling?"
'It seems pretty obvious that I'm about to rape you.'
"You're disgusting," I spat.
"I thought you would say I have good taste. I do this a lot, so don't feel flattered."
"I feel far from flattered."
Lucas walked forward and pushed me against the lockers and put his hands around my waist.
"Come on darling, don't be like that."
I shut my eyes, trying to squirm away from Lucas's firm grip. Until…
Suddenly Lucas's arms were off my waist and I remember sinking to the ground before everything went blank.
I opened my eyes and my vision blurred to normal. I was at home. In my bedroom. I looked over to my clock.
2:00
Holy Shit! I was sleeping for two hours! I sat up to see Paul sitting at my desk flipping through some magazines.
He looked up to see me awake, "You're awake."
"Obviously," I scoffed.
I waited.
"What?" Paul asked.
"Hello! Care to explain what happened to me?"
"To make a long story short, Lucas tried to rape you but I pulled him off before he could actually do anything. You passed out and since I was already playing hooky, I decided to take you home. May is going to tell your teachers that you felt sick and went home. And I felt obligated to stay in case you still felt sick. And I didn't want you to pass out again and Misty to come and kill me with that mallet of hers."
"Wow." I can't believe that happened.
I laid back down and pulled my blanket over me and curled under the cover. Paul noticed this and came to sit by my side.
"Are you okay?"
I nodded.
"Then I'm going to go."
As he rose, I pulled on the bottom of his shirt. He looked down at me.
"What?"
"Nothing, never mind."
"Okay, well if you need anything, just text me, Troublesome. I'm right next door."
"Thanks Paul."
He nodded and walked out my door.
---------
After school, the girls rushed home.
It was all the same.
"Are you okay?"
"Do you need anything?"
I was able to ensure everyone I was fine. And our house functioned as usual.
--------------
(Third Person POV)
Leaf walked outside wearing a white dress that stopped above her knees. She tied her hair into a messy bun. She sat underneath her tree, her favorite tree. It was an oak tree with green leaves. It always made her feel at peace when she was upset.
But not today. The sun was setting early so at 6 it was already cold and dark. And her tree didn't help her. In some way, it only added to her despair.
She saw motorcycles turn into the driveway next door and saw Gary and Ash getting into their house. Gary didn't look her way and walked straight into his house but Ash noticed her and walked over.
"Hey Leaf, how's Dawn?"
"She's fine."
"Are you okay? You seem pretty down."
"Yeah, but I have to ask you. Who was that girl that was at your table today?"
"Courtney? She and Gary went on a date but it didn't go well."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah, actually Gary's little date and discard process has become jacked every since we went on that quadruple date."
"What do you think that means?"
"Honestly I think you are the only girl that can heal Gary's broken heart. But anyway, it's cold. You should go inside before you get sick."
"Thanks Ash, you're a real pal, ya know that?"
Leaf gave Ash a hug but she glanced over at the guy's house and maybe it was her imagination but she could swear she saw Gary watching them from his window and he closed the curtains after seeing the beginning of their hug.
(Dawn's POV)
11 o'clock. Time to get ready for bed.
I brushed my teeth, changed my clothes and let my hair down.
But there was something wrong.
I was scared to sleep. I think I want Paul to be here.
Sighing, I picked up my phone and texted Paul.
Can you come over right now?
There was an instant reply and a thud outside.
Open your balcony door.
I opened the balcony and there stood Paul, dressed in a t-shirt and boxers.
"Yeah? I was sleeping."
"Please Paul, stay with me for a bit?"
Paul entered my room and closed the balcony door.
"God Troublesome, what temperature do you keep your room at? It's burning hot in here."
I peered behind me to see Paul had shed his t-shirt and it was now lying on my floor.
"Hey Paul, you can stay in my bed for a while."
He came to sit on the bed. "I don't think I should after what happened today."
"It's not like you're going to seduce me."
"I don't know, you look pretty sexy in those shorts," Paul leaned over me.
I smiled, "Well maybe I'm okay if it's you."
I threw my tank top on the floor.
And one thing led to another and let's say we got it done.
At the end, Paul decided he should go back to his room and sleep.
"Paul, we should do this again sometime."
Paul stopped and looked back as he arrived at the balcony door. He grinned.
"Yeah we should. How about tomorrow?"
I winked, "See you tomorrow night."
After Paul left, I sat thinking; me and Paul could work like this. A sexual relationship instead of a loving relationship. We probably weren't going to fall for each other like this. I can be with him and not lose my powers. It's like kicking the prophecy right in the ass!
But I couldn't help but notice there were 2 things that didn't make any sense at all considering what has happened today
One, How did Lucas trap me so easily when I was reading his mind?
And Two, Why was Paul at school when Lucas was going to rape me if he was playing hooky?
Lucas seemed to know how to manipulate Dawn pretty well. Will Dawn's plan work? And how did Paul know to save Dawn? Why is Gary avoiding Leaf?
And that is the miraculous chapter 6. Okay so just to clarify; Dawn thinks that having sex with Paul will get her around the prophecy. I didn't have a little thing for Dawn but I got this idea and it fits really well in the plot so sorry if you didn't want stuff like that.
Sneak Peak for chapter 8 and 9. I'm adding quotes and making it a little more detailed.
Stay tuned for chapter 7: Abusing Your Love. Pokeshipping!
Misty goes on another date with Ash, and after a while she thinks she will soon lose her powers. And she's okay with it until Ash suddenly takes a turn in a whole other direction.
"So Misty, do you want to go out for lunch?"
"Sure Ash, that sounds fun."
"You know I mean like a date, right?"
"Yeah."
----
In the B-story May knows she won't be falling in love with Drew anytime soon but that won't stop Drew from falling in love with her.
"Am I sensing that Drew Hayden, the heartthrob of Bell's Academy, is falling for May Maple?"
"Shut up Paul, I'm not falling for May."
*Sneak Peek Chapter 8: It's Only Fair*
Chapter 8: It's Only Fair. Oldrivalshipping!
"You hurt me, I hurt you. It's only fair. Now I don't want anything to do with you. Go back to your whore." Leaf turned on her heel, leaving a very stunned playboy by the name of Gary Oak.
----
"Leaf let me prove myself," said Gary.
"No."
"I know what you're hiding from me."
----
In the B-story Ash returns from his mysterious disappearance and Misty learns she is being pushed aside.
"Ash, where have you been?"
"I can't really tell you, Mist."
----
"Sorry Misty, but I'm breaking it off."
"Can I at least know why?"
"I'm sorry but I can't tell you."
Melody glared at Ash, "It's because you're gay, isn't it."
Ash looked at Misty, "I'll tell you if she leaves."
----
"So that's it? You're doing this, just because of that?"
"Sorry Misty, but it's not my decision."
"Fine," Misty ran past him, to her house and shut the door of her room and started crying.
Then there was a knock at her door.
*Sneak Peak at Chapter 9: All Out Battlefield.*
Chapter 9: All Out Battlefield. Contestshipping!
May and Drew both try out for the winter play of modern Pride and Prejudice. When the plotline seems oddly familiar, will it tell the ending to May and Drew?
"May, you should totally try out for the play!"
"Actually I think I will."
----
"I heard May is trying out for the play. You should too, Drew. Or else she might have to kiss someone like Brendan or Harley."
"Fine, fine. I'll try out. I already know I'll get the part."
----
"Drew Hayden," May growled, "What are you doing here?"
Drew flicked his hair, "Getting the part of Mr. Darcy, obviously."
"How are you so sure of that?"
"I know these things Red."
----
May's happiness faded as she saw the name of who would be playing Mr. Darcy.
----
In the B-story, Paul almost gets caught as he returns home from Dawn's bedroom.
"I guess I should go."
Dawn sat up a little and kissed him lightly on the lips, "I'll miss you."
Paul winked, "Feisty, aren't ya? Well I'll be back tomorrow night."
He hopped from her balcony to his bedroom window.
"Nice of you to finally show up Paul."
