Red cried his eyes out as he held onto his unconscious lover, fearing that she will die. Footsteps were coming closer to Red and it finally stops a few feet away from the crying young man.
"Red…" A male voice called out, but Red didn't respond back, he kept crying, still holding onto Leaf.
"I guess…we're too late…" A female voice called out. Red shook his head. Finally Red spoke, but didn't turn around.
"What are you two doing here? Why aren't you back at Johto?" Red asked almost in a whisper.
"We were…but Lyra wanted to come by and apologize to you guys." A boy with red hair said. Red chuckled, but choked on his sobs. Lyra took a step forward and looked at Leaf carefully; her eyes went wide as Leaf's body looked like a ragdoll, as if she's dead.
"Red…is she…" Lyra muttered, but couldn't finish her sentence. Red shook his head.
"No…she's passed out…due to the last of blood and the amount of shock and fear she had endured by that man…" Red coldly said as he pointed a finger to the dead professor lying down on the ground, surrounded by a pool of red blood.
"No way…Professor Oak!?" Lyra shouted as she puts her hands on her mouth. Red only nods as he stands up ignoring the bleeding leg, while gently setting Leaf down. He walks towards the nearest first aid cabinet and took out a set of painkillers, but no band-aid or alcohol, he then consumed at least five pills when the bottle said two every twelve hours. He takes off his red jacket, exposing his black T-shirt underneath and covered Leaf's body with his jacket. Red kneeled down and gently picked her up bridal style as he heads towards the door.
"Wait…where are you going?" The red headed boy asked. Red turned his head around.
"I'm going to Viridian City Silver; there isn't a single doctor in Pallet Town left." Red said while wiping away a few tear strands on his cheeks. He took the white hat off of Leaf's head and placed it on top of her stomach.
"Will you be able to make it in time?" Silver asked worriedly. Red shook his head.
"I'll make it there, even if it kills me." Red said as he reached the door and walked outside.
"Wait, you're not going alone!" Lyra yelled out to Red as both Lyra and Silver an after him. Red turned and around and raised an eyebrow.
"You guys sure about this? I'm being hunted by the soldiers, along with Leaf, you're risking your lives here, and this isn't your fight." Red said as he looked at the two trainers.
"Let's just say, this is an apology from both me and Lyra, we're with you Red!" Silver said confidently; Lyra nods her head in agreement. Red smiled at the two trainers and looked down at the unconscious Leaf.
"Leaf…we'll make it there…I promise." Red whispered to her as he bends over and kissed her forehead.
Red, Lyra, and Silver all ran as fast as they could towards Viridian City. They try to avoid the road, and forge their own path by going through trees and bushes while getting dirty and wet by the heavy rain and mud. They were halfway there from the city until they heard voices from the other side of the trees. Red halted the two trainers as he peek his head through the bush and scanned the area. His eyes went wide as he saw at least ten soldiers, holding their position as though they knew to wait for Red. It was impossible to get through the massive squad; they'll get caught if they take another step. Red doesn't know what to do, but he has to act fast for the sake of Leaf. Red turned around and looked at his companions.
"Red what is it?" What do you see?" Silver asked. Red only shook his head and tightened his grip.
"There is at least ten solders covering at every corner from the road all the way to the other side of the forest. " Red said with a hint of fear in his words as he held onto Leaf tighter, he's scared. Lyra's eyes widen in fear and Silver just shook his head.
"Can't we just sneak by them?" Lyra asked. Red shook his head.
"if we want to save Leaf, we have to act now, we can't sit still and wait for them to move." Red said as he starts to panic.
"Shit…not when we come so far, there's got to be another way!" Silver almost shouted.
Red looked down at Leaf, she was getting paler by the minute, he's scared, but he knows what he must do. His hands started trembling underneath Leaf as he brings his right hand up, still trembling and gently caresses her face, he then over and kissed her forehead. He then looks at Silver.
"Silver…please…" Red sadly said as he tries to hand over Leaf. Silver's eyes nearly bulged out as he shook his head.
"No…no you can't be serious!" Silver almost shouted. Lyra looked at both of them, puzzled.
"What is it Silver?" Lyra questioned with a hint of worry. Silver looked over at her and then back at Red.
"Look, there isn't much time, take Leaf and go!" Red exclaimed as he still has his arms wrapped around Leaf, still trying to give her to him. Lyra caught on what Red is intending to do.
"Please don't do this Red! There has to be another way! Lyra pleaded with tears in her eyes.
"Leaf will be miserable if something were to happen to you!" Silver exclaimed as he grits his teeth. Red only shook his head.
"This whole event is my fault to begin with, if Leaf hears me saying this, she'll kill me for sure." Red chuckled a bit. He then continues.
"This isn't your fight you guys, it's mine, so please..." Red begged Silver. Silver didn't know what to say or do, in a sense Red is right, this is his fight, but at the same time, it feels wrong.
"But this is suicide Red, and you know it!" Lyra sobbed as she stared at him. He is willing to risk everything he has.
"Please…take this as an apology." Red said with a small frown. Lyra shook her head, she cannot take it anymore, everyone around her is dying and she's powerless to stop the inevitable.
Silver took a step forward and looked at Red in the eyes. Silver knows that Red would do anything for Leaf, even if it means getting himself killed. He truly does love her.
"Are you sure about this Red?" Silver asked before accepting the dying girl. Red nods his head confidently. Red is afraid, but he's even more afraid about losing Leaf herself.
"More than you could imagine." Red said with a weak smile. Silver sighed as he slowly scoops Leaf off of Red's arms. Red looked at Leaf as tears started spilling even more. He's going to die, he then patted Silver on the shoulder.
"Red…I'm sorry…if only things could be different…" Lyra sobbed. Red smiled weakly as he embraced her. Lyra embraced him back. Lyra let go of Red as she wiped the tears off of her face. Red then turned towards Leaf; she's still unconscious as he caresses her cheeks once more.
"I'm sorry Leaf…but…it looks like I have to break that promise. Now it's my turn to save you." Red sadly said. Red kissed her on the lips for the last time; it was cold, but tender at the same time. He finally releases her and he takes off his cap and placed it on her stomach next to her white hat.
"I love you…so much Leaf." Red said as he looks at her.
"Please take care of her." Red said to both Lyra and Silver. Silver nods his head slowly and Lyra just cried. Red smiled as he ran towards the main road. Leaf nudged a bit, holding onto his red jacket.
Red reached the main road and he could spot a few soldiers ahead. Red took a deep breath.
"Hey assholes, are you looking for me!?" Red hollered out. Two soldiers looked at Red and started advancing towards him.
"Is that Red?" The left soldier asked. The other soldier examined Red more closely and cocked his rifle.
It' s Red, tell the others we've found him!" The left soldier ran off while the other one ran towards Red. Red immediately ran into the forest hoping to pull away all of the soldiers away.
"Come on…move it!" Silver said under his breath. Few seconds later the soldiers clicked their microphones and nodded. They cocked their rifles and ran towards the opposite direction.
"Lyra let's move!" Silver commanded. Lyra nods her head as they jump out of the trees and ran towards Viridian City.
"Stop right there Red or we'll fire!" One of the soldiers yelled out. Red didn't listen as he continues to run at full speed, ignoring the injured leg. Gunshots were fired upon Red as trees and branches were being splintered. Red dodged a couple of bullets, some nearly hit him.
"Help! Please someone help us!" Silver yelled out in the hospital entrance. Few nurses and doctors ran out to check out what's going on. They look no further; they saw Leaf being held against Silver.
"Take her to the ER!" One of the doctors ordered.
Red nearly got hit, but he ducked in time from the incoming bullet. Red kept on running, but he was getting tired at the same time. Suddenly a bullet went straight towards his waist and he fell down on impact.
"Fuck that hurts!" Red yelled out. Red, with every ounce of strength left in him, stood up as he started limping away.
"Young man…what is her name?" The doctor asked Silver. Silver fiddled his thumbs together.
"Leaf sir…" Silver replied back. The doctor took out a blue pen and wrote down her name on a piece of paper.
"I shall inform her parents." The doctor said as he walks away. Silver looked out of the window with a heavy heart. Lyra looked too; maybe, just maybe she heard gunshot out in the distance.
"Argh…come on…" Red weakly grunted as he kept limping away. Red looked behind him and saw a full barrage of moving flashlights and incoming bullets. Red stopped limping as he saw a hallow stump, big enough for him to sit down and hide against it. Red limped for it and sat down against the stump, praying that they won't find him. Red suddenly felt tired as he slowly closes his eyes with his final word released from his mouth. "Leaf."
Leaf slowly opened her eyes and scanned around the area. She was in a white room with curtain around the bed she's laying on and a television at the corner of the ceiling. She kept looking around and saw Lyra, Silver, and her parents, sleeping on the chairs. She tries to sit up and noticed that she's in a hospital gown. Her shuffling made some noise and Lyra woke up from the noise. She sees Leaf waking up as she shook Silver next to her. He wakes up too and tries to wake Leaf's parents up.
"Leaf!" Leaf's parents cried out in joy as they flung their arms around their daughter. Leaf smiled and returned the embrace. Lyra and Silver smiled happily.
"Oh my god Leaf…they called us all the way back in Sinnoh about you…what the hell happened to you!?" Leaf's mom cried out. Leaf looked down.
"I'm sorry mom, but it's a long story." Leaf said. Leaf then looks around and noticed a certain someone is missing.
"Where's Red?" Leaf asked. Lyra and Silver looked down sadly and so did her parents. Leaf was getting worried. Where is Red?
"Guys…where is he?" Leaf said in a low whisper. Lyra's eyes begin to water as she left the room, crying. Leaf looked at her, now even more worried.
"Please…tell me he's okay." Leaf pleaded as tears were about to fall down her cheeks. Silver reached down under the bed and pulled out a red cap and a red jacket with Leaf's dried bloodstain. Leaf's eyes were in horror, her heart almost stopped beating. It can't be.
"Silver…this can't be…" Leaf stuttered in sobs. Silver just nods his head, as he hands her the cap and jacket. Leaf's hands trembled as she slowly takes both of the items together. More hot tears were spilling from her eyes as she saw the cap and jacket.
"Leaf…I'm sorry to say this…but…" Leaf's dad sadly said. Leaf shook her head as she covers her mouth.
"It can't be! It can't be!" Leaf shouted. Leaf's dad only shook his head.
"Red's…dead Leaf…he sacrificed himself to save you…and us." Silver finally finished the sentence. That was it, Leaf's heart stopped a couple of beats, her eyes widen, tears kept flowing down her cheeks, her lips trembled and were her hands.
"NO! That can't be true! He's not dead! He's not dead!" Leaf yelled out while clutching onto Red's cap and jacket.
"Mom please! Is this all true!?" Leaf asked with a very painful expression on her face. Her mom only nods her head. Leaf immediately got off of her bed and ran towards the door. Her parents held against her as she tries to reach for the door handle.
"Let me go! I have to know for sure! Please! I have to see him! Let me go!" Leaf begs as she tries to struggle her way out.
"It's no use Leaf! He's gone!" Leafs father said while holding onto his daughter. Leaf didn't stop fighting as she thrashes around like a wild animal.
"Red! Red! Red! You promised you'll stay alive! You promised! Please…don't leave me…don't leave me…" Leaf cried harder as she collapse on the floor crying her eyes out.
"Red…I love you so much…please Red…I love you." Leaf sobbed harder as she held the jacket and cap close to her. Her parents never saw their daughter this devastated before. Silver only shook his head.
"Red…I love you…you can't be dead…you just can't...come back to me…I need you…I love you…" Leaf sobbed harder. Back in the forest a young male sitting down against the stump laid still with his eyes close, his face is pale and his body is slumped over. Red is dead and Leaf continues to mourn him.
