Time-travelers
Chapter 7
I'm sorry that I'm late.
Paul walked back home, Reggie was there. "Good afternoon Paul." He said, cooking something. "Sorry Reggie, I'm not in a good mood, so don't bother me." Paul said, stomping upstairs. Reggie wondered and then shouted, "If it is a girl problem, I can help you!" he then heard the door slamming. He shuttered and went back to cooking.
Hilda and May observed the forest very carefully. "Is it really okay if she just skips school?" Hilda asked. "Is the school first or the mission?" May asked back. "Mission." Hilda muttered. "Duh. Now keep looking." May said as she climbed up to a nearby tree. "I will keep it from above." She said and Hilda nodded. May and Hilda released few of her Pokemons to look further and report if they spot Dawn.
"Hilda, do you think Bellistone has her?" May asked from above. "Don't be silly. I doubt it." Hilda said but inside she was thinking about that as well. "You are lying. You are worried about her too, right?" Hilda sighed and nodded. "Maybe I can look around myself, split up?" May asked. Hilda nodded and sprinted to left while May headed upward, they released their Pokemon to go forward.
May, from tree, she looked around if she could see any remains of a house. Or Dawn, but either way would be very welcoming for her. "Where are you Dawn…" She said and then heard a cry of Piplup. "Unfezant!" May threw her Pokeball and jumped onto the Pokémon's back and flew upward. "Let's go!" she said and they followed the cry.
Hilda was looking around, as same as May, was looking for a track of her leader. "You really are troublesome sometimes." Hilda smirked and as she heard a cry, she released her Alakazam and teleported to the source of the cry.
Dawn was separated from Piplup, due to a sudden attack. "Piplup!" Dawn cried out, searching everywhere for him. "Where are you?" Dawn had tears in her eyes, and just then a Tyranitar stepped over to her. Dawn growled. Dawn reached for her Pokeballs.
"Dawn! Where are you? I know you are around here somewhere!" Hilda shouted. But like she expected she didn't get any answers from her dear friend. "Ugh, Dawn!" Hilda, frustrated, cried out. Hilda then suddenly heard a weak moan. "Dawn? Is that you?" Hilda asked as she searched through the bushes. Hilda then found the blunette, lying on the ground, obviously fainted. "Dawn!" Hilda ran toward her. She was angry, surprised, shocked, almost felt like crying. "Dawn!" she knelt down next to her friend. Dawn was bleeding. There were scars all over her as well. Hilda, swallowing down the tears released one of her Pokemons to search for May and bring her over.
Soon after, May returned with rest of their Pokemons. "Hilda? What's wrong….." May stopped as she looked at the wounded body of Dawn. May dropped to her knees, crying. Her painful crying filled the forest.
Hilda and May delivered her to the hospital. And after that they called the school that Dawn had been wounded so bad that she won't be able to go to school. "Yes, thank you." Hilda said over the phone. "What did they say?" May asked. "The principal said that he wishes that Dawn to be healed quickly. And said that she won't have to come to the school for a while." May sighed in relief. May then looked over her shoulder to see Dawn, who had put on the oxygen mask. She sighed again, now it was a sigh of worries. "Will she be okay?" she asked the doctor. "I am sure she will be but I cannot be sure when she will fully recover. Who had done this to her?" He asked. "We don't know. I'm so sorry." Hilda lied. She knew that it was Bellistone. If it's not him, then who would have done such a thing?
Hilda and May returned home, leaving behind a wiretap with one of their Pokeballs. They had to take Dawn's Pokeballs away because they were pretty sure that they were wounded as well. Hilda put them in the Pokemon Center while May returned to their apartment by herself, to see if there is anything stolen. To her relief there weren't any that were stolen. The apartment was fine "Phew, I'm glad that I won't have to worry about this place. Maybe he doesn't know where we lives. Or maybe not, since he put a camera on Harry. But, I guess it is okay for now." May told herself and slumped on the couch. Harry came over to her and snuggled into his owner. "Harry…" May said as she swallowed the tears. Harry looked up, as if he had sensed the sadness that was filling his owner. He tilted his head. "It's okay. Everything is going to be fine." May said, hugging him tightly.
Hilda told Nurse Joy to take extra good care of them. "Of course. I will certainly do it for you. Don't worry." She said with a joyful smile. Hilda nodded coldly and left the center. She walked down the street, looking down, feeling lonely. She was worried about Dawn. Something told her that this is going to be more serious than she thought it would be the first time she spotted her. By the time Hilda reached the apartment, her face was dark as the other side of the moon. "Hilda, you don't have to worry about Dawn. I'm pretty sure she will be okay soon." May said as she saw the face. May felt a chill going up her spine. "I don't know. What if Bellistone breaks in?" Hilda asked. "I told the doctor not to let anyone but us to go into her room." May said.
"It's not about that. Bellistone would do anything to harm us. Do you think he will listen to the nurses or the doctors? He won't. He will ignore them. That's what I am worried about." Hilda said, her hand clenching into fists. "Hilda, I think you should rest now. It had been a tired day. You should rest now. And so will I." May said with little frown and headed into the bedroom. Hilda didn't answer and sat down on the couch and without knowing it, she fell asleep.
The next day at school, everyone was wondering why they couldn't see Dawn when they can see Hilda and May. "Hilda, where's Dawn?" Hilbert asked during their class. "She's sick. She won't be coming school for few days." Hilda replied. "When will she come?" He asked again. "I don't know." Hilda answered, without even giving him a glance. "She's that sick?" Hilbert, surprised asked again. "Mr. Blake, please be quiet." The teacher said. "Yes ma'am." Hilbert replied, snickered and was quiet for the rest of the class.
May and Hilda didn't talk for the whole lunch period. Zoey, Kenny, and the boys seemed to be trying to be talking to them, but because of the gloom atmosphere, they couldn't. "So, June, what exactly happened to Dawn?" Drew was the first one to talk but didn't earn any answers. "June? May? Can't you answer me?" Drew asked, waving his hand right in front of her eyes. May suddenly grabbed his wrist. He tried to pull it off, but it wouldn't even budge. He tried it once more and May's grip hardened. Drew groaned in pain. "Don't talk to me today. I'm not in a mood." She said with a low voice and released his wrist. Drew quickly grabbed his wrist by his other hand, checking it if it is still in one piece. Fortunately it was. "What happened?" Hilbert asked. "I didn't know that a girl can grip that hard." Drew muttered. Hilbert didn't hear so he asked once more. But no answer.
People didn't even talk to them after lunch. Not because they don't like them but they had this feeling that they could be murdered if they talk to them. And since May and Hilda wanted to have a peaceful time, they didn't mind at all.
When the school was over, they teleported to the hospital and stayed there. "Dawn, please wake up." May pleaded. Hilda sighed and did the homework while sitting next to May. May asked if she can copy it later and Hilda agreed. Normally she wouldn't but this situation is different. "Please wake up." May pleaded once more with tears.
