AN: i'm soooooooooo sorry for not updating, its getting to be the end of the semester and i've been getting homework by the double! Anyhoo, here's the next chappy! I would really like to know your thoughts and comments on my story! R&R!

Chapter Five

Not again, Violet, why did you go?

What is this? Am I hearing someone's thoughts?

I nearly died when that Tyranitar came through the door with you!

Seriously, what's going on here? What is this?

I knew we shouldn't have left you alone; I should have stayed with you! It's all my fault!

Wait, I think I recognize this, Dad? Are you thinking? Am I reading your thoughts?

How could I have been so careless, I could have lost you! I don't want to lose you!

Dad? Are you blaming yourself? I don't think he can hear me. I have to wake up! But how? I'm not sure if I'm even conscious.

Human, please wake up, I didn't mean to hurt you!

Rani?

Yeah, it's me, I'm really sorry for rampaging on you.

It's okay, it's not your fault, it was those creeps. Wait a second, how the hell, are you talking to me? You're not even a psychic Pokémon!

I dunno, I've heard that sometimes, humans and Pokémon can have strong bonds when they meet and they can sense each other's thoughts.

Really? That's amazing. How do I wake up, where am I and who's there?

Slow down! Your father's here and you're at a human center and how you wake up, I'm not too sure.

Oh, you mean a hospital.

Yes.

I opened my eyes and that familiar white room came into focus; well sorta, my glasses were missing.

"Violet, here." Someone handed me my glasses. I put them on.

"Thanks." I looked to the right, Rani was sitting down. My father was to the left of me.

"Rani," Dad murmured, "So you mind explaining to me what you were doing at the meadow at night where I could easily lose you?" Dad wore one of those faces, you know, acting all fatherly and stuff kind of faces.

"Well, I wanted to find out what really happened, to that tyranitar. I was a bit worried, because I sensed something wrong with it before." I pinked a bit.

"So you made friends with her and called her Rani, right?"

"No, not exactly."

"For some strange reason, I've been trying to get into her head but I'm unable to do so." Father sat in his thinking position.

"But I can hear her loud and clear, she and I can communicate at our own free will." I explained.

He frowned. "But she isn't a psychic type. So how is this possible?"

"I don't know. I'm sorry for sneaking out, dad. I just had to find out."

"I know, you nearly gave me a heart attack when Rani came through the door with you!" He smiled a bit.

"Well I had a vision; her baby was dropped into a lake or something like that."

"How well did you see it?"

"Really clear. I've never had one of those."

"Maybe it has something to do with you two being able to communicate." He smiled.

I smiled back. "So what did happen, when Rani came through the door?"

"I was half asleep and I heard big steps, I went outside to see what it was and you were unconscious and in a Tyranitar's grasp, possibly the one who hurt you a couple days back," he took a breath, "you know what went through my mind?"

I shook my head.

"I thought, 'she's dead, I know it,' but then I saw you breathing. You don't know how much relief washed through me. I was really worried."

"Oh dad, I'm really sorry, I promise, unless I'm not hurt, I won't venture out. I had no idea you were thinking that. Well I did have some idea…" I pinked again.

He raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean, 'had an idea'?"

"When I was unconscious I could hear your thoughts, without meaning to."

"Interesting, your psychic abilities have enhanced, I'm sure of it. I couldn't do that until I was about your age."

"Great minds think alike." I stated. "I want to go back to the castle, please, Dad!"

"I can't determine that, the doctor has to give us the okay, to go back home." He sat back in his chair.

I grumbled, I was upset, I really wanted to go home; I was getting behind my schoolwork.

"Schoolwork, Violet? You shouldn't be worried about that, just recover." He grinned.

"Guess who!?" I heard an-oh-so-familiar-voice.

"Oh no." I groaned.

Flint came through the door. Aaron followed behind him, along with Bertha and Cynthia.

"Hey Vi-Vi, you sneaked out, so I heard!" Flint grinned.

"That was really irresponsible; you could've been hurt more or worse." Bertha lectured.

"Hey, we brought you chocolates!" Aaron handed me a small, white box.

"Thank you!" I laughed internally; nobody has noticed Rani, yet.

"What's a Tyranitar doing here?! Isn't this one that hurt you?!" Cynthia seemed a bit shaken up.

"Calm down, this is Rani." I said. Rani was still sleeping.

"Rani? You gave the thing a name?" Flint asked.

I frowned. "Rani is not a thing, she's my Pokémon, FYI, yes I'm gonna keep her!"

"Lucian!" Everybody yelled.

Father closed his eyes and exhaled. "I think it's time Violet got a bodyguard, I think Rani is perfect."

"Rani, wake up!" I yelled.

Rani opened her eyes and was in a bit of a shock seeing so many people around her.

"It's alright, they're family." I said; everyone stared at me, even father.

"Violet, you consider us family?" Bertha asked, a bit surprised.

I smiled. "Of course!"

A man in a white lab coat came in. "It was a bad idea to sneak out. But, you'll be out of here next week. I predict, if there are no more adventures." He said sternly.

"Don't worry doctor; she won't get out of this room. One of us will stay with her a day and we'll switch off." Dad told him.

"Okay then. If you need anything, press that button on the controller and the nurse will come."

I nodded. The doctor left.

"I'll stay with Violet today and-" Father was interrupted by Cynthia.

"I'll stay with her tomorrow." She said.

Father nodded.

"Dad, I said I wouldn't venture out, why does someone have to stay with me?"

"I'm not taking any more chances."

I don't want to lose you, can't you understand?
