Guys you need to calm down, I am on work experience and I've been very tired lately, that's why I haven't been posting chapters, but I will have another one up tomorrow for you. I'm thankful for everyone reviewing this story, even though most were anon, it's fine. Anyway, we're going to be seeing a LOT of legendary Pokemon in this story, so if you would like to see a specific legendary, I will make it happen, even if it's Arceus, I'll find a way to put them in, until then I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Normal P.O.V
Rythmi yawned as she walked down the stairs, everyone was already eating breakfast, everyone but Kate, only her mom, dad and sister knew where she was, no one had asked about her though.
"So where's Kate?" Rythmi asked, Freya smiled at her.
"She's doing the morning dance with the rest of Summerland, they'll be starting in a few minutes," she explained, Rythmi nodded her head, Adir smiled at Remi, who was currently playing with Flareon.
"But considering Kate's the lead dancer of the morning dance, she has to be there early," he added, Ms April looked at the both of them.
"I think I've heard of the Summerland Morning Dance," she stated, "Isn't it where everyone in Summerland get together and just dance?" she asked, Remi smiled at her.
"Kate's the leader, she has a specific routine for everyone," she started, everyone looked at her in interest, except Keith, he was being Keith, "If you're not from Summerland, then it's very hard for you to know the routines, so you just sit and watch. It's like a morning entertainment for people who aren't from here," she finished; Keith cocked a brow at this.
"Any of the beach babe's flash?" he asked, Remis' mouth dropped open, while Adir and Freya looked at him in shock, Rythmi was the one to hit him over the head.
"Keith," she said, you could literally see the fire burning in her eyes, "You have five seconds to live," she threatened, Keith scoffed, Ms April stood up.
"Considering Keith has just said that, he will be in charge of carrying everything," she said, Keith groaned, Rythmi stuck her tongue out, while Kellyn, Seren and Sean snickered, "Now, why don't we go watch Kate perform?" she asked, everyone nodded as Remi ran out the door.
Following Freya and Adir out the door, the class ended up on the beaches of Summerland, Kate stood in front of a huge group of people with Safia by her side. The two girls had whistles around their necks, Freya turned to Ms April.
"When Kate's sick or not here, Safia takes over as the lead dancer," she explained, Ms April nodded her head as the class watched in interest. Keith, however, was just staring at Kate; her bikini top barely covered her developing breast, his face turned red at the thought. From his side, he heard Rythmi snicker; he sent her a glare before turning back to Kate and Safia.
"ALRIGHT PEOPLE FALL IN!" Safia yelled, everyone from Summerland stopped talking to look at them.
"Hey peoples, I'm back for this week and next, so it's for sure that we'll have our dance routines in the morning, and possibly the evening," Kate said as she waved, people clapped at her, while some boy wolf whistled at her, Keith felt an awkward knot in his stomach at hearing them whistle.
"So without further ado," Safia said as Freya and Adir went to the front of the line, Remi walked to stand next to Kate who smiled.
"We'll start with," Kate looked at Remi, who smiled widely.
"Call my name," she suggested jumping up and down, everyone smiled at her, Remi, was by far, the youngest in Summerland, everyone loved her though.
"Alright," Safia said, pointing her hand out to everyone, Kate smiled as she copied her motions.
"LET'S GET THIS PART STARTED!" they yelled, even though it wasn't a party they just referred to it as one. Soon, everyone was dancing, while Kate, Safia and Remi were singing, as well as dancing. Keith watched in amusement though he often wondered what Kate felt when he called her, by her actual name that is.
"ALRIGHT!" Safia yelled as she high fived Kate, this brought Keith back to reality. Looking at the two, he allowed a ghost of a smile to appear on his lips, only for a brief moment, before he returned to his usual nature, with his headphones in, his hand in his pockets and some gum in his mouth.
"My Kate, that was fantastic," Ms April and Rythmi said as they walked over, Kate nodded at them.
"Who knew you could sing?" Keith asked, a smirk evident on his face.
"We did," all of Summerland said, Keith had to resist rolling his eyes at them, the question wasn't meant to be answered, but Kate did have a good voice, though he would never admit it to her.
"Well, we're going over to the Three Challenges," Ms April stated, Kate turned to Safia and Remi.
"Keep the dances going for another two or three, I know I've only done one, but I gotta run," she said as she followed Ms April and the other, Safia and Remi nodded their heads as they carried on with the dances and songs.
"So, which way?" Ms April asked, Kate face palmed before pointing the way, Ms April nodded as she followed the path that Kate had said.
Keith fell behind the group as he looked at his phone; he frowned at the message on the screen.
'We're docking in 3 hours,' it was from his dad, in other words, his father would be in Summerland in 3 hours looking for Summerlands' gift, AGAIN!
"Don't sweat it, they won't find anything," Kate stated as she appeared next to him, Keith, who had been lost in thought, actually jumped at the sound of her voice, Kate giggled, "Make you jump?" she asked, Keith growled.
"You don't just read peoples' texts over their shoulders," he said, then looked at his screen, "How did you even know what he was on about?" he asked, Kate looked at him, then the phone, before turning her attention to the path in front of them. Pokemon played and laughed, but stopped to watch the class go passed, occasionally coming up to them.
"Your dad never comes to Summerland for anything other than looking for its gift," she stated, Keith looked at her in wonder.
"Be honest Kate," he said, Kate looked at him, he rarely ever used her name, "Have you actually seen Summerlands' Gift?" he asked, Kate bit her lip.
"I have," she stated, before turning her attention back to the sky, "If you think about it, almost everyone in the worlds seen it, but I'm afraid I can't say what it is," she said, Keith nodded his head.
"Your choice," he said, Kate smiled a little, before giggling.
"What?" Keith asked her, Kate smiled at him, he felt his cheeks go a little warm.
"We're having a civilised conversation," she said, Keith looked at her in shock, then frowned before plopping his phone back into his pocket.
"Don't get used to it," his eyes trailed her body, "Flat chest," he smirked, Kate went red with anger.
"I do NOT have a flat chest," she said as she looked at him, then her chest, she wasn't flat at all. Keith only smirked, he just liked to see her angry, though he didn't know why.
"You two, come on," Rythmi called from in front of them, the two turned their heads to see they were at the cave with shallow water in it.
"Woah, I really zoned out," Kate said before looking at Keith, "Small Dick," she said before running ahead. From his place behind the group, Keith smiled at the back of Kates' head, he felt his cheeks go warm, and for a moment thought about what he would feel if she ever called his name.
It wasn't long until the group arrived at the entrance of the three challenges. Rythmi turned to Kate, who was looking around, something felt….off to her, she frowned as she saw a figure, quite large to be exact, ran into a room at the end of the room they were in now.
Frowning Kate joined Ms April, who had taken them into the first challenge, the challenge with the two Kingdra, the group easily avoided the Gyarados that were there to protect the challenge. Soon they were stood in the room where the two Kingdra were.
Kate walked in front of the group with Ms April next to her, it didn't take long until Kate was sprayed with water, she sighed as she looked at herself, guess she was glad she was wearing a bikini top.
The two culprits responsible for her wetness jumped out of the water, both laughing, sorta. Kate growled as she tackled the larger Kingdra into the water, only to be followed by the other.
"KATE!" Seren and Rythmi yelled, Ms April just shook her head, she was getting used to Kate doing things like this.
Kate rose to surface again spraying Rythmi and Seren with water as the Kingdra lifted her out. Turning to her two friends, Kate burst out laughing as she saw them a mess and wet.
"Damn, you look like you've been fucked a couple of times," she said, Rythmi and Seren turned red at that.
"KATHERINE!" they yelled, Kate glared at them.
"What did you just call me?" she asked through clenched teeth, Isaac, Keith, Sean, Kellyn and Ms April just watched the scene unfold before them, all sweat dropping, well except Keith, he looked more annoyed than anything.
"Ay, come on Kate, you look like you've been fucked a couple of times as well, you're wetter than they are," the larger Kingdra said, Kate turned to it, face flushed red before glaring.
"YOU'RE MEANT TO BE ON MY SIDE!" she yelled, the two Kingdra only smiled at her as they jumped back into the water. Kate turned as she trekked out of the challenge, her hair clung to her face as she walked out, her bikini top stuck to her chest, Keith blushed as she walked passed him. Kate took notice of this but decided to ignore it; every guy in Summerland blushed when they see her come out of the water.
"Ok, that was not what I expected," Ms April said as they class stood in front of her. Pokemon ran around the place as everyone smiled, Kate looked around, wondering when the volcano went dormant again; she shrugged it off, thinking it had been a while ago.
"So, we'll do the next challenge now, ok?" Ms April asked, Kate shrugged.
"Next challenge requires a lot of pokemon catching," she stated, Ms April looked at her, then Keith, who had a goofy grin on his face. Kate looked at him, not once had she seen him grin like that, he almost looked….handsome.
"Keith?" Kate asked, Keiths' heart jumped as she said his name. Looking at her, the red head frowned, trying to hide the blush coming on his face again, what was wrong with him today? Keith Dazzel does not blush.
"What is it Flat Chest?" he asked, Kate rolled her eyes, letting the name slide, just this once.
"You feeling ill?" she asked, Keith raised a brow at her.
"Now why would I be feeling sick?" he asked, the two failed to notice the rest of the class had already gone to the second challenge.
"Well, your face went red when I walked out of the water, not to mention you just had a goofy grin on you face, you never grin, you're always so…..emotionless," she stated, Keith glared at her.
"Shut up Flat Chest, I'm fine," he stated before looking around, "Where'd everyone else go?" he asked, Kate looked around before sighing.
"Second challenge, this way," she answered as she led the way, again a figure caught Kates' eye, but when she looked, it was gone.
"Take it you saw it too?" Keith asked, Kate looked at him.
"Yeah, something feels…off about this place," she said as the two carried on walking.
They arrived at the challenge not even two minutes later, Keith looked around, seeing smashed pedestals and various pieces of glass on the floor.
"Looks like they're already here," Keith said, Kate sighed.
"They're gonna get themselves killed, the Salamence here is very territorial," Kate stated, Keith sighed.
"We're gonna have to save them right?" he asked, Kate looked at him.
"We're having another civilised convo, and no, I am you're going to get them out of there," she stated as they ran to the entrance at the back of the cave.
The tow heard Rythmi and Seren scream, as a grunt echoed through the room, Kellyn and Isaac had just been throw into one of the walls, Kate growled.
"Get them out of here," Kate said as she slowly walked forwards, the Salamence growled at her, Ms April looked at Kate in horror.
"Kate NO!" she yelled, Kate took no notice as she carried on walking, her hands above her head, the Salamence looked at her, knowing she meant no harm, he lowered his guard a bit. That was when Kate realised the gash on its side; she frowned a little in confusion.
"Change in plan," Kate said, everyone stopped at the exit to look at her, "Ms April, give me the first aid kit," she added, Ms April went in the bag she had, soon after she drew a white box from it, Kate turned, she lowered her arms to catch the kit before turning back to the Salamence, which growled at her.
The class behind Kate flinched, all but Keith, who slowly advanced like Kate had done. Once he was next to her, he took the kit from her, opened it and withdrew some bandages. He handed them to Kate, who nodded her thanks to him before slowly walking back towards the Salamence, again it growled.
"Calm down," Kate whispered softly, "I mean no harm, I want to help," she added, the pokemon looked at her angrily, Kate sighed inwardly as her eyes flashed for a second, Keith looked at her in shock, but shook it off as if he had imagined it. The Salamence looked at Kate, then Keith, then laid on the ground, Kate smiled at the pokemon before rushing to its side with the bandages. Keith often threw her the needed potions and berries in order to help the pokemon heal itself. Once Kate was done the Salamence stood up and roared before it flew towards her and Keith. Kate smiled as the pokemon licked her face in a thankful manner, he did the same with Keith, but Keith only growled as he wiped his face clean. Before long, the pokemon was flying away from the small class, with one last mighty roar.
"Well, you two were just brilliant," Ms April commented, "The way you two worked together, the way your feelings were in perfect sync for the Salamence," Ms April added.
"Or for each other," Seren, Kellyn, Isaac and Rythmi snickered, Kate glared at them all, Ms April clapped her hands together.
"Let's head over to the third challenge," Keith growled, the four snickered at their two friends as the two walked in silence at the front of the group.
"They'll totally get together," Rythmi stated, Seren nodded.
"Let's play matchmaker," she suggested, with that Rythmi grinned widely, Kellyn and Isaac nodded their heads as Ms April shook their heads at the four of them, Sean sighed.
"I'll start planning your funerals," he said, Rythmi smiled at him.
"Ok, that'd be a good idea actually, if this fails, we're all dead," she stated, everyone nodded their heads.
Once the class made it to the fourth challenge, they didn't make it to the back of the room before Kate started shouting.
"CHARIZARD!" she yelled, "GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE!" she added, a roar was heard before a large orange dragon appeared in front of them, everyone looked at Kate then the pokemon.
"Mind explaining?" Rythmi asked, Kate shrugged.
"Nothing to explain, he's my cousins pokemon," Kate stated, everyone nodded their heads as the Charizard picked Kate up onto his back before flying around with her, Kate laughing the whole way.
Ms April looked around the room, she spotted a dark figure in the room, Keith looked in her direction, as did Kate, both teens frowned at the sight of the figure.
"Land," she ordered, Charizard did as told. Kate climbed off the pokemons' back before turning to it, "If you ever wanna visit, you know where to find us," she winked before running back to the team, leaving Charizard to glare at where the figure had been.
"You saw it?" Keith asked, Kate nodded he head.
"Yeah, hard to miss if you're looking for it," she stated, Keith nodded his head.
"Alright, off to the final challenge," Ms April said, everyone nodded as they began walking, Kate pulled Keith aside.
"I'm going to find out what that figure was," she whispered to him, "Cover for me?" she asked, Keith narrowed his eyes as he frowned at her.
"Why the fuck would I do that when I'm going as well," he answered; Kate looked at him in shock but nodded her head. The two ran away from the group and towards the room at the back off the four challenges. Rythmi turned back to see them leave the room, she frowned, but figured it must have been something important.
"Let's go after them," Ms April said, everyone looked at her in shock, "There was a figure in the Charizard challenge, I want to see what it was," she stated, everyone nodded before following after where the two Rangers-to-be had gone.
"You know this place so well, where are we?" Keith asked as he took his shirt off, Kate looked away, trying to hide the blush at seeing Keiths' well tones chest.
'He may be young and a dick but he is fit,' she thought to herself, before turning back to her, her face still red. Keith looked at her, but shook it off as the heat.
"I think, we're near where Solana and Lunick caught Entei," she stated, Keith glared at her.
"No you don't think, you either know or you don't, not I think," he said to her.
"She's right though," the two jumped at the voice before turning to see a shirtless Kellyn, Sean and Isaac, along with Rythmi, Seren and Ms April, who were all in bikini tops.
"Where the hell did you guys come from?" Kate asked, Kellyn smiled.
"Well, when a mommy and daddy love each other very much, they tend to have something called sex-,"
"KELLYN!" Kate and Keith yelled, Seren hit the boy over the head.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" he yelled, Seren only smirked as she pointed to Kate, who was glaring at her, you could see the flames in her eyes, Kellyn hoped they were reflecting the flames that were around him.
"Not that you idiot," she said, but dropped it, "Ugh, never mind, let's just go," she said as they all began walking again, this time Kate fell behind the class, not bothering to listen to any of them talk.
Soon she was faced with a staircase to her right, sensing something was wrong she took off that way, Keith turned in time to see her leave, he frowned before stopping and looking at the staircase.
Once Kate reached the top of the staircase, she saw a bunch of people in black surrounding an…Entei?
'Oh this can't be good,' she thought to herself.
"HEY!" she yelled, the group turned at her, they looked at her in shock, before relaxing, she was just a weak kid, but once Kate saw Entei was injured, the bloody knifes in their hands and…was that Celebi? She flipped, "YOU COCK SUCKERS!" she yelled, she had no idea where that had come from.
She lunged for one of the people in the group, the closest one to her. She growled as she punched, kicked and scratched the person, it wasn't long until he pulled a knife of her. Kate frowned, before pulling her own pocket knife out, she always had one for safe keeping.
"Two can play this game," she said as she looked at the, now barely breathing, Entei, "I will kill you," she said, she had to resist her eyes from glowing, she didn't know who these guys were, for all she knew, they could work for Keiths' dad.
"KATE!" speak of the devil, Keith and the other came running up the steps at that, the guys flew to Kate while she was distracted by the call.
"WATCH OUT!" Rythmi yelled, Kate turned in time to catch the guys hand, twist it until there was a snapping sound, before pinning him to the ground with one arm.
"Like I said," she began, "Two can play at that game," she finished, Keith walked forwards before pulling the guys mask off, he growled at the person he saw under it.
"Let him go," Keith said, Kate looked at him but let him go, figuring it would be for the best, "Stand," he ordered, the guy did as told, everyone looked at Keith in confusion. It wasn't long until the other men had surrounded Keith, standing in a straight line.
"M-Master Keith," they muttered, Keith growled at them, his eyes flashing with anger, Kate swore she saw red in them again, but whatever she saw, it made the men shut up.
"What are you doing here? What do you want with Entei and Celebi?" Keith ordered, though his voice was calm, it was dripping with hate and anger, not to mention disgust. Kate looked at him before shaking her head; she rushed over to the Entei, before gasping.
"This Entei needs medical attention and quick, I won't be able to stop this blood flow," she said, with that Ms April drew her phone out, before contacting the Ranger Base in Summerland. Keith glared down on the men in front of him.
"Answer me," he ordered, the men flinched.
"We're under orders from your farther, we don't know why he wants the pokemon dead," he said, Kates' eyes went wide, dead? Oh no, she would kill the bastard now.
"Leave, if I catch you ANYWHERE in Summerland again, I will kill you," Keith threatened, "Slowly and painfully," he added, with that the men ran off, Kate glared at him.
"You let them get away," she stated, Keith turned to her.
"They're working for my father to provide food for their families, I can't kill them," he said as he looked at the Entei, he reached his hand out but the Entei growled at him, Keith retracted his hand from it. Kate looked at Entei as she held a cloth to the rather large wound on its side, she looked at Celebi.
"Check on Celebi," she ordered, Keith did as told as Rythmi reached her hands out on top of Kates' to apply more pressure to stop the bleeding.
"Celebi's fine," Keith said, "Unconscious but fine," he added, Kate nodded her head.
"There are more potions in the bag, Ms April will give them her," she said, Keith nodded as he walked over to Ms April, who had the potions ready.
Five minutes passed, Celebi had woken up, Enteis' bleeding had slowed, its breathing became stronger, but he still needed medical attention. At the moment the Ranger Base of Summerland, Solana and Lunick came running in.
"Oh my," Lunick started, Solana rushed right for the pokemon as she helped Kate and Rythmi apply more pressure.
"What happened?" she asked, Kate sighed.
"Long story," she answered, Solana looked at her, Kate gave a quick explanation of the story, including the part about Keiths' dad. Solana turned to Keith, as did Lunick and the rest of the Rangers that were there.
"Your father is sick," Solana spat, Keith only stared at her, he knew that, everyone knew that, but no one would say it to his face.
"Speaking of Keiths' father, he's at the beach in Summerland," Cameron said, everyone looked at him, "He's got your sister Kate," he added shocked, Kates' eyes went wide as her hands flew from Enteis' wound, along with Rythmis'. Running to the exit, Kate stopped to look at everyone one more time.
"Send me an update on how Entei is," she ordered, Cameron nodded his head before the girl ran out of the room, down the steps, through the volcanic part of the challenges, through the water part of the challenges and through the forest. She didn't stop once, everyone followed her keeping up at her pace, Keith was mentally cursing his father for this.
Once they arrived in Summerland a beach girl came up to them, her eyes filled with worry.
"This way," she said, the class followed as they saw Keiths' father looking out to see, Kate saw rampaging Sharpedo and Gyarados, along with a few other pokemon, she looked at her mother.
"He pushed Remi into the middle of it, she hasn't come back up," Freya explained, Kates' eyes went wide as she ran down the docks, Keith, Rythmi, Seren, Kellyn and Isaac looked at her in shock, she would never survive this.
'Oh Arceus, help Kate, even if she is Summerlands' Gift, there's no way she can do this alone,' Rythmi thought as she watched her best friend dive into the ocean, Keith growled as he walked to his father.
"You sick, that little girl could be dead," he said, his father turned to him, it was like looking at a younger version of the man, Keith and his father, they looked exactly the same.
"So be it, it's one more person we know that's not Summerlands' Gift," he said, Keith took a step back.
"You're a heartless fucking bastard," he said, a slap was heard through the beach.
"Watch your tone with me boy," his father glared, Keith glared at him once before walking towards Rythmi and everyone.
"I have to help her," Keith said, "This is my fault," he muttered, Rythmi looked at him.
"No it's not, it's your fathers fault, you two are nothing alike," she said, Seren nodded.
"Besides, I'm sure Kate's fine," she added, Keith tried to smile a bit, but that didn't get rid of the thought that the girl might be dying and all because of his father, but why did he care so much?
Down below the ocean, Kate was not doing alright, her legs and arms were bleeding more than they ever hand, her chest had a gash in it, while her face had a few cuts and bruises on it. But it was all worth it to save her sisters life. Unfortunately, when Kate saw Remi at the bottom of the ocean, she looked nothing like what she did before. Blood poured out of almost all her body, Kate turned to the pokemon, she couldn't use her powers but she could communicate with them.
"STOP!" she yelled, the pokemon listened for a moment or two, before carrying on fighting and rampaging, "A LITTLE GIRL!" Kate yelled, this time the pokemon stopped, "SHE'S A LITTLE GIRL AND SHE MIGHT BE DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU!" the pokemon looked at Remi, their eyes went wide.
"We did that?" a Gyarados asked, Kate glared as tears fell from her eyes; they mixed in with the salt water around her.
"YES!" she yelled, she was getting through to the pokemon, "AND TO MAKE IT WORSE IT'S MY SISTER!" she yelled, at that a Gyarados lifted Remi to the surface before another one lifted Kate, she had spoken underwater without an Aqualung, making her take in a little bit of water.
Once she reached the surface, she coughed as did Remi, but Remi was mostly crying because of the incident, she stung all over, no better than Kate. The two Gyarados looked at each other before they spotted Keiths' father, they whispered something before all the pokemon began rampaging, but Kate knew this time, it was fake.
The blood pouring from both girls mixed as they tried to stay conscious, it wasn't working, darkness before to take over their vision.
"Kate, Remi!" Adir called.
"Stay with us!" Freya frantically added, looking around Keith glared at his father again before he heard a voice.
"Celebi," it said, Keith looked around before his eyes landed on the pokemon from the forest and the three challenges, his father seemed pretty pissed that his men hadn't gotten rid of that…. That pest.
"Celebi," Keith muttered, Celebi looked at him in confusion.
"What happened?" she asked, Keith jumped, obviously startled that he was able to understand her.
"Kate and Remi are dying," he answered, Celebi looked at him a little in shock also.
"You can…understand me?" she asked, Keith nodded his head.
"Yeah," he answered, Celebi looked at him before the two girls.
'I wonder,' Celebi thought, then laughed on the inside, 'Nah, there's no way it's him,' she thought again before rushing towards Kate and Remi.
"Li bi," Celebi said before touching both girls, their wounds and cuts healed as their bruises faded, Adir and Freya smiled at Celebi thankfully, she always did this for the people of Summerland.
The two unconscious girls began to spit up water, Kate ended up spitting up a little blood as well, before looking at the forest and Summerlands' guardian.
"Thank you Celebi," she said, Celebi smiled at her.
"Think of it as a thank you for today and yesterday," she said, Kate nodded her head.
"I will," she answered, Celebi smiled at her.
"Also, the redhead over there can understand me," she added, Kate looked at Keith out of the corner of her eye, he was glaring at Celebi, obviously not happy about being called a red head.
'I wonder,' Kate thought, 'Could it really be him?' she asked herself, before she let out a little laugh, 'Nah, there's no way,' she assured herself before hugging her family and friends, Summerland cheered as they saw the two girls stand up, Kate looked at Celebi before she nodded and took off. Kate watched her leave before turning and walking towards Keiths' dad, Keith gulped as he followed her.
"Kate, this isn't a good idea," he said, Kate turned her head to him, she noticed the red hand print on his face, some reason, that just made her angrier.
"Hey, tall, dark and ugly," Kate said, Keiths' father turned to her.
"Mind your tone with me young lady," he said, Kate growled.
"I'll stay what the fuck I want in whatever fucking tone I want, considering you threw my sister into a pit of rampaging pokemon," she glared at him, "I told you not to come back here, you didn't get Summerlands' Gift the first hundred times you came, what makes you think this time would be any different?" she asked, Keith's father only smirked.
"Now young lady, I only came to see my dear son," he answered, Kate growled.
"Yeah, that really looks like it," she said as she turned Keiths' face so he could see the hand print, Keith looked at Kate in shock, she was going to do something she would regret, and with his father being five times the size of her, he would crush her.
"Listen to me young lady-,"
"No, you listen to me, you overgrown excuse of a person, you're a heartless cunt, you're a fucking twat, no one in this world can stand you," she started, getting more up in his face than ever before, "You're a cunt, you drive people into the ground, well guess what? We're sick of it, if I ever catch you around Summerland again; you can guarantee I will kill off your men one by one, slowly and painfully. Summerlands' Gift belongs here, you will not take it, you are a waste of space, so get out of here, before I really lose my temper," Kate finished, everyone looked at her in shock, even Keith was staring at her with his mouth and eyes wide open, his father looked at him.
"Are you going to let her talk to me like that?" he asked, Keith glared at him.
"All in all, you're all those things, including a murderer," he stated, his farther growled at him, before raising his hand preparing to hit Kate. Keiths' eyes shot wide open as he pulled Kate back and grabbed his fathers' hand.
"Touch her or anyone in my class or Summerland, I'll end your sorry excuse for a life," he stated, his father stared at him in shock, then smirked.
"My, you are growing up to be a fine man, if only your mother could see you now," he said, Keith growled before turning away so he wouldn't lose it, "You'll make a fine Mob Boss someday," was all his father said before he left, Keith growled before running off into the forest, he had to get away from all that, but more importantly, he couldn't let anyone see the tears that began to cascade from his eyes down his face.
Kate looked in shock from the ground at the space Keith and his father had just been, when Keith pulled her out of the way, he accidentally threw her to the ground. Two hands were placed on her shoulder, belonging to her mother and father. They helped her to her feet as the crowd around them began to leave, Kate, her family and class walked back to the hotel in silence. Once they were there, Kate ran up to her room, not wanting to hear what everyone had to say about that incident.
"That was…" Freya trailed off not being able to find the right word.
"Amazing," Rythmi answered, Freya looked at her, "I never knew Kate had that in her," she added, her family nodded their heads.
"Neither did we," Freya answered, "Remi sweetheart, go upstairs and rest," she ordered, Remi nodded her head before walking off.
"What are we going to do about this?" Adir asked, everyone turned to look at him.
"About what?" Kellyn asked, Adir sighed.
"Kate, Keith, Keiths' father and Summerlands' Gift," he answered, though there was only Rythmi and Seren who knew about it, Kellyn looked at them in confusion.
"Do you know where Summerlands' gift is?" Isaac asked, Adir sighed before he was able to answer Freya cut him off.
"Adir no, we're not supposed to tell anyone," she glared; Adir nodded his head before returning to his post behind the desk. Everyone left to go to their rooms, expect Rythmi and Seren who stayed to talk to Adir and Freya.
"Keep her in school," Rythmi said, Adir and Freya looked at her confused.
"We know about Summerlands' Gift," Seren explained.
"I found out from who girls talking about it, while Seren witnessed it," Rythmi explained, Freya nodded her head.
"We haven't told anyone, and we won't," Seren added, Adir nodded.
"We will keep Kate in school, but it's Keith we're more worried about, after seeing the fiasco with his father, we just don't know what to think," he explained, Rythmi looked at them.
"Keith is nothing like his father, if anything he is more like his mother," she explained.
"He may be heartless and show no emotion sometimes but that's only because his father murdered his mother in front of him, ever since then, Keith hasn't been able to show emotion," Seren added, Freya gasped.
"Keith's a gentle soul, he's just broken, we've been helping him through the good times and the bad, we're getting through to him, slowly but surely, and now Kate's with us, we're getting through to him quicker, we need her with us to help him," Rythmi explained.
"But what about Summerland?" Freya asked, Rythmi sighed.
"Keith can tell his father that the gift isn't in it anymore, he can say it's wherever he is after graduation, that way he can keep an eye on his father and Kate wouldn't be hurt," Seren suggested, Adir shook his head.
"No, have him say it's wherever Kate's stationed, she may not look it, but she can look after herself, and with any luck, she'll be stationed with Crawford," he said, Rythmi nodded her head, the two girls knew Crawford from their outdoor class, they were brother and sister.
"Alright, we'll have it done like that," Seren said, Freya and Adir nodded their heads.
"Good, now get some rest, we don't know what tomorrow will bring," Freya ordered, the two girls nodded as they went to their rooms.
Kate tossed and turned in her bed, but with no luck, she couldn't sleep, sighing the girl got up and walked to her door, she opened it and looked at Keiths' door, across from her room.
'Is he even back?' she wondered to herself, opening the door, she saw he wasn't there.
"That can't be good," she muttered as she ran down the stairs in her short pyjama shorts and tank top.
"Where are you going?" Adir asked from his desk, damn Kate was so close to making it out of the hotel.
"Keith's not back, I have to find him," she explained, Adir looked at her, then sighed once he saw the determination in her eyes, there was no point in arguing.
"Be careful," he ordered, Kate nodded as she ran out of the hotel, she ran along the cold board walks and across the cold night sand. The moon illuminated the beach, ocean and houses, but nothing caught Kates' attention, she was fully focused on finding Keith and Keith alone.
She ran through the forest, asking various pokemon if they'd seen him, they pointed her in the right direction, for she found Keith sat on a rock overlooking a small river, but Keiths' attention was on the stars.
Kate breathed heavily, but silently, not wanting to disturb him. However, Keith sensed a presence behind him, he looked back but once he saw Kate he turned back to the stars.
"What are you doing out here?" Kate asked, knowing he had already seen her, Keith let out a barely audible 'heh'.
"Could ask you the same thing," he said, Kate clenched her fists a little as she walked over to him.
"I'm out here looking for you, it's late," she said, her voice remained calm.
"Needed to think," Keith stated as he carried on looking at the stars. Pokemon bobbed up out of the water often, making small ripples in the water, Kate frowned.
"When your dad mentioned your mom, you kinda…" she trailed off looking for the right word.
"Got upset?" Keith suggested, Kate nodded her head, she had taken note of his facial expression when his father mentioned his mother, he looked upset, devastated but mostly angry.
"Yeah," she whispered, Keith sighed as he looked at the water.
"You would be too," he said as he picked a stone up before skimming it across the water, "If you father murdered your mother in front of you," he finished, Kate looked at him in shock. Keith was now standing, his back to her, his eyes focused on where the rock sank.
"Keith, I-,"
"Don't," Keith cut her off, Kate looked at him, "I don't want your sympathy, it happened a long time ago, it's done," he added, but Kate could hear his voice become shaky, "Just go back to the hotel, I'll be back later," he ordered, Kate looked at him, his voice was breaking, was he crying?
Kate took a deep breath, before walking over to Keith, if he blacked out in this state, who knew what he could do to her, but then again, she didn't even want to think about what he could do to her.
"Keith?" she asked as she stood next to him, his eyes still focused on the water as he skimmed another rock, but Kate could see the tears forming in his eyes. She placed a hand on his shoulder, Keith looked at her, the moonlight lit up her face, her eyes were full of care and worry.
'She cares, even after the way I've treated her,' he thought, a pang of guilt hit him in the gut, of course he would never apologise. After all, to him she was still a flat chested girl with nothing to look at.
But with her hand on his shoulder, the care and worry in her eyes, and the tears forming in his, he couldn't stop it when a few tears spilled. More followed soon after, Kate smiled a little as she pulled, the now crying, Keith into her arms. His tears stained her tank top but she didn't care, all that was on her mind was the crying boy in front of her.
It never really occurred to Kate before that Keith could be fragile, or even show emotion, but after seeing him like this, she realised, he was nothing like his father, nothing like him at all. Keith was different; he was fragile, caring and loving towards his friends. She sighed inwardly, sure they may argue a lot and Keith may be a jerk, but he was still human, he needed to be treat like any other human in the world, to be cared for and to be loved.
Kates' eyes widened as she thought about all this, then asked herself one question.
'Am I falling for Keith?'
