Age 16, part 1
I knew something was wrong from the moment I woke up. I shot out bed and checked Dest's bed, which was wicker, and felt my whole body go numb.
She was gone. And to make matters worse, her bed wasn't made. I'm not a clean freak, but I knew that Destiny always made her bed when she woke up, then she'd make breakfast for us. I immediately checked downstairs.
There wasn't any bacon frying, or anything. It was almost like she didn't exist.
I quickly checked the house for her, or any signs I could find.
None. The only one I could find was...
"Pika?"
Sunny! I knew something was wrong. Destiny wouldn't leave her behind for anything. I ran back up the ladder and shook the large lump in the third bed next to Dest's.
"Alaster!" I urged. "Wake up! Somethings happened to Dest!"
Alaster shot up immediately when I mentioned his sister's name.
"What! What do mean!?" he yelled at me, pulling my shirt.
"She's gone!" I told him. "I don't know how, but Sunnys' still here and her beds' unmade!"
Alaster let go of me, his face falling. Lucario then awoke along with Haunter and came to us.
"I heard the news," Lucario told me. "I am trying to feel her now."
I looked at Lucario and told Alaster what he said.
"Well, any luck!?" he quickly asked, grabbing Lucario's shoulders and shaking him slightly. Lucario shook his head slightly. Alaster sighed. He sat down on his bed and covered his face with his hands.
"What am I gonna do without my sister?"
I clenched my fists at my sides. What had happened to Destiny?
I guess I wasn't thinking, because I said unconsciously,
"I'll go."
Alaster looked up at me while I looked down.
"I'll find her. For both of us."
I quickly got ready, all the while Alaster nagged,
"But you don't even know where she is! The worlds big, Riley! She could be anywhere!"
"I know," I told him. "But I'm sure Lucario and I can find her with our aura."
Alaster sighed.
"If you say so."
I soon set out, running beside Lucario through the forest. But not before I tried to urge Alaster to go.
"I'll check in the forest and in town," he told me, running towards Eterna. "You check elsewhere!"
So that was our plan. It wasn't too great, but it worked. Lucario and had to run through the forest to get out, and as we sped through, I noticed something I'd never seen before.
A large lake, with Yanma gliding around.
I felt strange as I stared out the pool of clear water. I wondered,
was that there before?
I felt something tug at me. I looked to find Lucario tugging at my shirt. He stared out the lake along with me.
"Riley?" he asked. "Was that there yesterday?"
I slowly shook my head, hypnotized by the water. But there was something funny about the water.
Ripples were appearing out of the blue, and what appeared to nothing was causing them. One thing that made it strange though, was,
they were appearing in front of us.
I reached out my hand, not expecting to feel anything. But there was a problem with expecting to feel air.
I felt something. A mussel? It was fuzzy and warm, if not magical. Something then showed itself.
It was blue and white, with a purple cloud on it's back, a diamond shape sitting on it's head, and white, streamer-like things flowing along it's sides. It gave a low bark, surprising me and Lucario. We stepped back a bit, but it moved forward, its large paws in front of it. It apparently walked on all fours, as whenever we stepped back, it stepped forward in the same way. It barked again after taking a few steps. Lucario suddenly looked surprised. He told me,
"Of course! How come I didn't see this before!"
"What?" I asked him.
"This creature before us..." he began. "Is the legend, Suicune!"
Sorry I haven't updated in a while! I've been out of town, and I had writters block! Oh, and for those of you who've read some of my other stories, can you tell I like the Raikou, Entei, Suicune trio? :)
