Part 4
As I lay unconscious, I had a dream that brought me to a crossroads. In this dream I dreamt about a boy, a childhood boy from the village in which I lived. Soren was his name. He was my best friend. He had a ralts and his and my pokemon were good friends as were we. I dreamt about him and me being together…images of good times we had. Running in the mountains, rolling on the grass. He was the only one in the village who understood me. I was sort of the odd girl who's father was the village leader, and he was never quick to judge me and have expectations on me like everyone else. And I like this boy. He was the only person who made me happy next to my older brother, who gave me my first pokemon for my birthday, dratini… Then the seemingly magnificent dream turns into that nightmare once again….The village is burning…before I ran away… He was there with me, protecting me…his family was slaughtered next to my own… there was so much chaos, he told me to flee…
"I can't leave you like this! It's much too dangerous!"
"Ane, you have to go. I'm trying to save your life here!"
"Please don't." I begged, clutching his shirt tight, tears running down my face. "Just come with me… I don't have anyone left but you…"
"I have to stay and fight. It's the only chance you have of surviving this…. Now please… Go… For me…" His voice was so gentle and soothing. How did he do it?
I gently let go of his shirt as he grasped my hands. His eyes were soft and sad.
"I will find you and be by your side again. I promise." he said.
He holds me closer to him, and hugs my tight. My heart is thumping. I don't want to let go of him; I start to feel even safer with him. I look up at him and gaze into his blue eyes, getting lost in them. I slowly brush my hands on his face. What is this feeling in my chest? Slowly he begins to move his face closer to mine and I do the same. Finally our lips touch and sparks fly in the air. I feel like I'm flying in enjoyment and I am comfortable. We both kiss with such passion that I almost loose track of everything around us, but I knew better than that. I back away and our eyes lock again; knowing that what has just happened will never be forgotten by neither one of us. I look straight into his eyes and we don't speak a single word. I did not want to leave him now, but what good did it do if we both ended up dead? But, oh, how my heart ached, how much it hurt to leave him. After all he was the last one left of the people I cared about the most… I did not want to go…but I went anyway…
He lets go of me and I walk backwards slowly, turn around and run as hard as I could. "I love you…" he said. Three simple words that rocked my heart to the core, and will remain locked inside until the key is found… Soren…
The last thing I saw of him when I looked back as I ran, his back was facing me and he was facing our attackers… So courageous, so bold. I always said that this 'never back down' spirit would be his demise, but I never actually meant it. And yet… there he stood. That is the last I saw of the boy I feel in love with.
