Kates' P.O.V
I sighed as I listened to Ms April talk about various things left, right and centre; we were currently walking through the forest just outside Summerland. She was talking about how beautiful the tree and plants were, what pokemon we were expected to see, I sighed, my head hurt, she had been talking too long.
"You ok?" Rythmi asked as she fell behind to talk to me, I looked at her; a smile came onto my face.
"Fine," I answered, she gave me a knowing look, I sighed again, "Ok, in pain, but fine," I rephrased; she left out a soft chuckle.
"I was scared until I remembered," she said, she looked ahead as Keith looked at both of us, I walked towards the group, we had just gotten into part of the forest that was actually a little over run with pokemon, but surprisingly there were none around.
I cocked a brow as we walked forwards, I knew what was coming, I walked ahead of the group until a bunch of pokemon jumped out of the bushes tackling me to the ground.
"KATE!" Ms April yelled, I was currently wrestling with a Grovyle, as I laughed, the pokemon laughed as it tackled me. I pinned the pokemon before standing up, a Ludicolo grabbed my arms as it began spinning me around, I couldn't do anything but laugh as it did so, that was, until it threw me towards a tree.
I screamed as I went flying towards it, but I guess I could count myself lucky as the Heracross came up behind me, catching me on its back, I began laughing again. Ms April and the others rushed over to me, Ms Aprils' face full of worry.
"Kate, are you ok?" she asked, I only laughed as I watched the pokemon dance, I began clapping in rhythm with the dance they were doing before applauding them fully, the pokemon bowed before running off back to their homes, I turned to Ms April.
"Did you say something?" I asked, she glared at me a little.
"I asked if you were ok," she said, I looked at her.
"Fine, the pokemon in the forest mean no harm," I said, Ms April sighed.
"Whatever, Kate, since you live here," she said, I cocked a brow, "Would you happen to know the best place to sketch picture of the forest and pokemon?" she asked, I nodded as I lead them to a wooden bridge, across it and through a number of pokemon, avoiding a number of Ariados along the way.
Once we were to the destination we climbed up a wall until we were at the top of a cliff, everyone gasped, even Keith looked taken aback by the view, I smiled.
"This good enough for you?" I asked, Ms April nodded her head as she ordered everyone to begin sketching; I had left my sketch book at home, so I was starting from scratch.
I saw by myself as the wind blew through my hair, making it bounce a little in its pigtails, I smiled as I sketched the outline of the forest then the trees, I had drawn from here many times before.
When I felt a presence behind me, I didn't bother looking to know it was Keith, everyone else was in partners, Sean was talking to Ms April, no he wasn't a teacher's pet, he just got along well with her, so that left Keith with me, unless he wanted to be with Ryth and that, but I doubt he did, I could hear them laughing from where they were.
"Sup Red?" I asked as he sat down, he didn't say anything, I shook my head, "Still giving me the silent treatment I see," I said as I sketched, yet another, tree. Keith turned his head to face me.
"I'm not giving you the silent treatment, I just don't feel like talking," he said, I shrugged.
"Your call," I answered as I finished the outline of the drawing, I reached for the colours I had next to me at the same time Keith did, I ended up grabbing his hand.
"I know I'm handsome, but is there really any reason to hold my hand?" he asked, I looked at his hand before I scoffed.
"It was an accident, don't get your hopes up," I said as I grabbed a brown from my colours, Keith only smirked at me, I rolled my eyes before I turned back to my drawing.
Once I was done I smiled at it, the sun had begun to set, everyone was packing away, I wasn't surprised to find Keith asleep with his drawing over his face. I shook my head as I took the drawing off of his face, when I studied the drawing, I smiled, it was actually quite good. My eyes wandered to Keiths' sleeping face, he looked peaceful, calm, collected, cute even, hang on….NO FUCKING WAY DID I JUST SAY THAT! I think I need to barf, I shook my head as I whacked him with his sketch pad, he instantly shot up.
"That's a nice wake up call," he glared at me; I only smiled innocently at him.
"Shouldn't have dozed off," I retorted as we began picking things up and putting them away, Ms April then brought out some sandwiches she had had in her bag, we all took one as we watched the sun go down.
"It's beautiful," Seren gasped, I nodded my head.
"It's better at sunrise though, the colours blend with the night sky," I told her, she smiled, a cry of a pokemon reached my ears, looking around I saw nothing, it came again, I walked towards the cliffs edge.
Looking around the forest I saw a Celebi flying away from something, it looked like a net….that shot electricity through it, the Celebi flew straight passed me as the net followed it, with some people dressed in black.
"HEY!" I yelled as I climbed the cliff more, everyone just watched in shocked before shouting me.
I got to the top, the Celebi was caught in a net, the electricity being shot through it was putting the forest protector in pain, I gritted my teeth.
"Let Celebi go," I ordered, the people dressed in black only laughed at me, I recognised them as Team Rocket or something along those lines. As one went to pick Celebi up, I jumped over all them, in front of Celebi and punched the grunt in the face, sending them flying backwards. I turned to the Celebi as I took the net off of it, the pokemon looked at me, I smiled as my eyes flashed white, the pokemon nodded as it flew up high into the air.
She was about to leave when I screamed from a pain in my back, the pokemon stopped to look at me, I turned to see a Mightyena stood with my blood on its claws. Again my eyes flashed before the pokemon looked around then ran off, Team Rocket looked at me.
"Insolent little child," one of them said, I growled as my body began glowing white.
"Never EVER come here AGAIN!" I yelled as white energy shot from my hands, sending them flying backwards, my back healed in the process as the Celebi stared at me in shock.
Once the light died down, I saw Rythmi was stood at the front of the cave with Seren, who looked shocked, I sighed, I had another person to explain to, the other joined soon after as Celebi came down to me.
"Thank you," she said, I smiled at her as I petted her head.
"You're welcome," I answered, the others looked at me in confusion.
"You can hear her?" Isaac asked, I nodded as Celebi began flying around me.
"It's a true honour to meet Summerlands' Gift, I have heard many legends about you, but thought they were always legends," she explained, I laughed a little as I shook my head.
"No it's real, I always thought you were a legend, I'm glad to meet you," I answered, Celebi laughed before she left with her time travel powers, everyone looked at me in confusion, Rythmi had told Seren not to tell anyone what she saw when she saw me shoot the white light from my hands.
As I looked at everyone, I began making up what Celebi had said, mainly for Summerlands' protection, before I knew it we were all walking back to Summerlands' Gift Hotel.
As we entered my mom laid dinner out in front of us all, we ate then left for our rooms, Ms April ordering us to get a good night's rest, since we were going to go see the four challenges tomorrow, the ones that Solana and Lunick ended up completing by accident. Hey it wasn't their fault, how were they supposed to know the injured Charizard was the fourth challenge?
Anyway, I told Seren to follow me into my room where I explained everything about Summerlands' Gift to her, how I was it, how Rythmi knew and how she was not allow to tell anyone about it ever.
"So you promise you won't tell?" I asked, Seren nodded her head.
"Secret's safe with me, but I think it's Keith you need to worry about finding out," she said, I sighed, I knew that already, but what made it worse was that he was only in the room across from me, if he wanted to he could find out my secrets in a heartbeat.
"Yeah, I know, but I'll worry about that later, for now, let's get some rest, we're going to those four challenges tomorrow," I reminded them, both girls sighed before nodding their heads.
"Sure thing Kate, night," Rythmi said as she walked to the door, Seren followed her.
"Sleep tight," she said, I nodded as the two walked out, I remained sitting on my bed for a few more minutes before I laid down.
I tossed and turned as I tried to sleep, it was no good, I couldn't sleep, I didn't know why, I had a feeling something bad was going to happen. I sighed as I walked towards my door, out my room, down the stairs, into the kitchen, I got a glass of water before going back to my room, mostly everyone was asleep, or so I thought.
"Look I don't care if Summerlands' Gift is real or not, I'm not doing your dirty work, you want it, you find it yourself," I heard Keiths' voice from his room, I leaned against the wall to his room as I listened more to who he was talking to, I assumed it was his dad, considering they were talking about Summerlands' Gift.
"I haven't even seen it, how would I know where to start looking?" Keith asked, there was a brief pause in the room before Keith spoke again.
"Kate doesn't know anything," I froze, had his father figured it out, "Her parents may run the hotel but she doesn't know anything and neither do her family," he added on, I sighed quietly, he hadn't figured it out.
"No, I'm not doing it," Keith said, his voice was low now, it sounded dangerous, I gulped as I knocked on the door. Once I opened I saw Keith on the phone, he glared at me as he frowned even more, he moved aside as I stepped into the room a little.
"I said no, that's final," he said as he hung the phone up, he looked back towards me, "What do you want?" he asked, I rolled my eyes.
"Came to see what you were talking about, I heard you mention Summerlands' Gift," I answered, he glared at me.
"Why do you care?" he asked, I sighed.
"Keith, you bring that up around here, anyone is gonna ask you what you were talking about it for, given the reputation of your father," I answered, before I covered my mouth, "I didn't mean that," I said as I looked at him, he just glared at me.
"Given the reputation of my father," he repeated as he advanced towards me, I looked at him, "Does that automatically make me like him?" he asked, I shook my head.
"No, look I didn't mean that," I said, he glared at me, I swear his eyes turned red, I flinched a little.
"Then what did you mean?" he asked as he stood in front of me, he was about an inch taller than me, I gulped.
"Does it matter?" I asked, I honestly swear Keiths' eyes turned red before he grabbed my shoulders and threw me onto the bed, I rolled over in time to see him climb on top of me, I froze.
"Yes it does," his voice was calm, that's what scared me, it was a deadly calm tone, I didn't like it.
"Get off," I whispered, he looked at me, his eyes were blank, but they had a hint of red in them, his stare turned to a glare, I found myself unable to speak under his glare.
He smirked before he looked at me, the red tint in his eyes left as his eyes closed, he fell from his position on the bed onto me, I gasped as his face fell into the crook of my neck, Arcues help me. I pushed Keith off as I tried to stand up, only to find my legs shaky and my knees weak, I fell to the floor as I heard Keith mumble something.
I looked up as he sat up, he looked at me, then laughed a little.
"Jheeze, perving on my in my sleep now," he stated, I looked at him, confusion filled my body, he had had another blackout, at least he didn't do anything he shouldn't have, I smiled weakly before I stood up, my knees still shaky.
"No," I rolled my eyes, "You were making these weird noises in your sleep, I came to see if you were alright," I stated, bad idea, he smirked.
"Didn't know you cared," he said, I rolled my eyes again.
"Think of it as a thank you for saving my life," I said as I turned to walk out the room, I looked back at him as he smirked, his eyes trailing along my body.
"If you want to thank me, you're gonna have to do better than that," he said, I froze again before I quickly closed his door, ran into my room, locked my door and ran under my covers, he was just plain perverted and creepy, I couldn't take it.
I sighed as I closed my eyes; somehow I found the ability to sleep a lot easier now.
