Kates' P.O.V
I sighed as I slumped onto my bed, Mew, Glaceon and Shaymin were all talking on the floor, Buizel chose to stay with Keith and Celebi had to go to protect the forests. I pulled out the book from my bag before opening it; it had a context page to tell you what you found in the book.
"Alright, let's see," I muttered as I read through the pages, Arceus and life, Dialga and time, Palkia and Space, Darkrai and darkness, Shaymin and the Gracidea Flowers, I looked at the little pokemon when I read that, Summerlands' Gift and ?
What was that supposed to mean? I shrugged as I flipped through the pages of the book, there were picture showing what each legendary could do, the powers it hold and more. But when I got to Summerlands' Gift, it felt like froze around me, the picture I saw, I didn't want this to be true, I read through the writing.
"Summerlands' Gift wasn't always called Summerlands' Gift, it used to be called Darkness' Gift," I read aloud, Shaymin looked at me with sorry eyes, as did Mew, Glaceon just gave them a confused look, "Darkness' Gift was used to wreak havoc among many people for many centuries by the ruler of darkness, Darkrai. When Arceus found this out, the pokemon was furious, he infused his own powers, along with every other pokemon in the world to turn Darkness' Gift from bad to good," I paused as I looked at the writing, it was in another language.
"I can't read the rest," I muttered, Mew looked at me.
"Yes you can," she said as she looked at the paper, I looked back at it, the writing had turned back to English.
"The Gift was scattered across the world until it found a place to live, this Gift helped out for many years as it tried to make up for the havoc it had done. The ruler of darkness was not happy about this, and so, swore revenge on Arceus and all the pokemon in the world. Due to being run on anger, hatred and revenge, this Darkrai turned from bad, to evil. The Darkrai began wreaking havoc among people and pokemon alike as he tried to find the Gift. Along the way, the pokemon murderer many innocent people, pokemon and animals. Upon seeing this damage Arceus was furious, he locked the pokemon away inside a large crystal, which became the Shadow Crystal," I paused as I looked at Mew, who nodded her head.
"The crystal turned from clear to black as the hatred form Darkrai poured out of him. Fearing the pokemon would one day break lose, Arceus set out on one of the trickiest quests yet, to turn the Gift from being energy, or an object into a living breathing person. He transferred the energy from the gift into a young woman who was pregnant; however she did not know this and became the carrier of the Gift. The Gift, currently known as Summerlands' Gift, has been helpful, brought joy to people and has healed and cured the sick. Arceus is proud of the Gift, but all in all Summerlands' Gift is the child of Arceus," I whispered the last words as I tried not to think about them, how was this possible? If I was meant to find this out…..what happens next?
"You ok?" Mew asked me, I sighed as I tried to calm myself down, tears began to flow from my eyes as I tried my hardest not to think about this, "Read on," Mew ordered, I gave her a confused look before flipping the page, I sniffled before reading the rest.
"Although Summerlands' Gift is not related to Arceus by blood, the pokemon has always watched over it and will treat the child as his own; he will watch over and protect the Gift. Summerlands' Gift has the power to befriend and talk to all types of pokemon, it also has the ability to use every pokemon move, considering that it what it is made from. Summerlands' Gift may be in a human, this does not make the person any less human, they will grow older with time and eventually die, Summerlands' Gift will be passed down through the family it is in, going from mother or father to daughter or son. However, if the person does not have a family, the Gift shall be taken from that person before they die and Arceus will find it a new home," I finished reading, I wiped my eyes, maybe this wasn't so bad. At least I know I'm full human, it's just the Gift that's pokemon.
"Those are some pretty cool powers," I heard a voice from the doorway, it was Keiths', I looked at him.
"I thought you were asleep," I said, he shrugged as he walked in, Buizel sat with the other pokemon on the floor.
"Couldn't sleep in that bed, thanks for the kiss though, I knew you couldn't resist me," he smirked, I glared at him.
"Oh get real Keith, you kissed me first, might as well give you one back," I stated, I heard Keith laughed as he sat on his bed.
"So, what other legends are in the book besides Summerlands' Gift?" he asked, I shrugged.
"Arceus, Dialga, Palkia, Mew, Mewtwo," I answered as I read the names of the pokemon, "Mainly every legend and tale you ever heard is in this story," I stated, Keith nodded his head.
"Better keep it safe then," he stated, I nodded my head.
"I know what you mean, if this falls into the wrong hands, I don't even wanna think about what would happen," I whispered, Keith turned his head to look at me as I continued reading through the book.
"Summerlands' Gift is also one of the most sensitive things that walk the earth?" I questioned as I read on, "It is said that whenever a pokemon is in danger, or something is not right with the land, the Gift will sense it and will want to go to the scene," I carried on, Keith sat on the bed besides me.
"Didn't you rush up to help Celebi that time we were in Summerland, and you said something wasn't right before we even saw anything?" he asked, I cocked a brow at him, he was catching on, BIG time.
"What are you implying?" I asked as I carried on reading the book, Keith shrugged.
"Nothing really, just saying," he stated, I didn't bother looking at him; his head was resting on my left shoulder with his right arm around my waist as he read the book over my shoulder.
As I lifted the book up a piece of paper fell out, I picked it up.
"What's this?" I asked as I opened it.
"The Curse of the Son?" I asked, I saw Keith bit his lip out of the corner of my eye as I began reading through the paper.
"Do you really need to read that? I'm sure it's nothing interesting," he stated, I gave him a curious look, Keith just looked at me; I turned back to the paper.
"The Curse of the Son is a curse made by Darkrai and can only be broken by either Darkrai, true love or the Gift Darkrai once created," I began reading, "The Curse started when Darkrai killed the innocent's mother. The pokemon was said to have black outs, which were passed from Darkrai to the child that was in the room. However, it wasn't Darkrai who killed this woman, so much as her own husband who was possessed by the darkness in his mind. Darkrais' voice floated through the darkness, the husband was able to see, hear and feel what he was doing, he had control over his actions, but chose not to stop, he chose to kill. The husband then advanced on his child as he walked towards them, however, he wasn't able to attack, all he was able to do was stand there. The red flash that appeared in the husband's eyes copied into his child's eyes, therefore creating The Curse of the Son. It is said that this curse, much like Summerlands' Gift, is living inside of the child it is within, the child has blackouts, will do things he regrets and sometimes has the desire to kill. The child has always fought against it, trying his hardest not to hurt the people around him. This child also has the powers of Darkrai coursing through his veins, one wrong move on this child could bring the end of the world," I stopped reading as I put the paper back in the book, I had read everything I needed to.
I turned my head to look at Keith, he wasn't looking at me, he was sat with his hands on his head as he looked at the ground. Mew, Shaymin, Glaceon and Buizel had all exited the room, I don't know when.
"Keith-,"
"Why did you read it? Why couldn't you have left it?" he asked, I placed my hand on his shoulder.
"Keith I…." I trailed off, what was I meant to say, I had no idea it would be talking about you.
"Well, now you know," Keith said as he stood up, he turned to me, I flinched, his eyes were a blood red, "You tell anyone, I'll kill you," he glared, I watched as his eyes stopped glowing, he began falling to the ground. I caught him before he hit it, shaking his head the boy looked at me.
"Ugh, what happened?" he asked, I smiled, he didn't remember saying any of that.
"Nothing important," I stated.
"You know about me being the curse," he answered, I nodded my head as I sat him down on my bed, it was the closest. I sat next to him as he looked at me, he sighed.
"I know," he said after a moment of silence, I gave him a confused look.
"Know what?" I asked, he sighed.
"About Summerlands' Gift," he stated, I flinched a little.
"How?" I asked, he smiled at me.
"C'mon Kate, do I really look that stupid? I caught onto it at the graduation ceremony, I just chose not to believe it," he stated, "But after hearing you read the legend and everything, it just all came together, you're the Gift and there's nothing I can do about it," he stated, I smiled sadly.
"Ok, then I should probably tell you everyone else knows," I answered, Keith cocked a brow at me.
"When'd they find out?" he asked, I sighed.
"Rythmi and Seren found out in Summerland, Rythmi pieced it together, while Seren saw me use the powers. Isaac found out after we came back from Summerland, he's been helping me track the book down ever since, and I asked Seren to tell Kellyn for me. The Ranger Union knows, Luana, Elaine, Amina and Barlow know and then there's my family that know, and they're not gonna be happy about you knowing," I stated as I looked at him, Keith smiled at me.
"I won't turn you into my dad, remember what I said," he answered, I smiled at him.
"Thanks," I smiled, Keith nodded his head.
"No problem," he answered, I smiled wider as I hugged him, "Why you hugging me?" he asked, I looked at him.
"Aw, you no like me?" I asked as I pulled away, he looked at me.
"I never said that," he stated, I smiled at him as I hugged him again. When I pulled away I placed the book back into the bag before Glaceon and the others re-entered the room.
"Mew, could you teleport Shaymin back to the ancient library?" I asked, Shaymin turned into his sky form as he took the bag from me.
"If you need it again Kate, send Mew to us, I'll give it to her," he stated, I nodded my head.
"Will do, bye for now Shaymin," I smiled, Shaymin nodded to us before Mew teleported them away in a flash, a few seconds later Mew was back with my bag.
"Thanks Mew, I say we get some sleep now, you need rest," I stated as I poked Keiths' chest, the boy pouted as he looked at me.
"But Celebi did a great healing job," he stated, I rolled my eyes.
"Just because Celebi healed you, doesn't mean she gave you back your energy, now sleep," I ordered, Keith smirked.
"Fine," he answered as he lay down in my bed, I glared at him.
"Even when you're injured you're irritating," I stated as I looked at him, Keith just laughed at me. I sighed as I grabbed a pair or short shorts and a tank top from my drawer before walking into the bathroom. When I walked back out Mew was flying over Keith.
"So you told her huh?" she asked, Keith glared at her.
"The curse thing yes," he answered, Mew pouted.
"Woah, you told her about your curse? I was talking about telling her you loved her," Mew stated, Keith blushed before hitting the little pink pokemon.
"Shut up Mew," he glared, the pokemon rubbed her head before settling down next to Glaceon, who growled at Keith, I laughed at the three of them, while Buizel shook his head, he had really calmed down.
"H-how long have you been there?" Keith asked, I looked at him, hand covering my mouth.
"So you told her huh?" I repeated Mews' words; Keith blushed a little before looking at Mew, who stuck her tongue out, then back to me.
"I don't love you," he stated, I smiled.
"I love you too," I said with a smile plastered on my face, Mew looked between the two of us.
"Are they serious?" she asked Glaceon, who shrugged, I rolled my eyes at the two of them.
"If you're not gonna move outs my bed, I'll just sleep in yours," I stated as I walked passed my bed to Keiths'. The boy had other ideas though as he grabbed me around the waist before dragging me onto the bed.
"NO!" I yelled as he pinned me down on his chest, Keith laughed at me, I could feel his chest moving up and down as he did so.
"You're mean," I stated, Keith just laughed more as he moved to I was lying next to him, I whined a little.
"Aw what's wrong?" he asked in a baby voice, I glared at him before burying my head into his chest.
"You're warm," I stated as I wrapped my arms around, placing my hands on his back, he jolted.
"You're freezing," he answered, I smirked at him.
"I know," I smiled as I stuck my tongue out at him; he sighed before wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Never knew you liked my chest that much, but then again, I guess it is something to look at," he stated, I looked at him waiting for him to add on the rest, "What?" he asked, I cocked a brow.
"I'm waiting for you to add on something like 'unlike you, Flat Chest', I answered, Keith smirked as he looked at me, he moved his face closer to mine.
"Now, I can't really call you that anymore, not with these pressing against my chest," he stated as he moved his eyes down, then back to my face. I blushed bright red before turning around with my back to him. Keith laughed as he wrapped an arm around my waist, "Aw, you want me to see your ass instead?" he asked as he squeezed my ass, I froze at his touch.
"I can't win with you, can I?" I asked, Keith smiled as he looked at me.
"'Fraid not sweetheart," he answered as he rested his head next to mine, breathing in the scent of my hair. I sighed silently as he pulled me back into his chest, I shook my head.
"Even when injured, you're still a pervert," I stated, Keith laughed at me before going silent, I turned over to look at him. His eyes were closed, his hair was falling in his face, he looked peaceful, at one with the world around him. My eyes travelled down to his lips, they looked soft.
'Wonder what they fell like,' I thought, but quickly shook that thought from my mind; I couldn't be thinking like that, Keith's my best friend.
"You know," Keith spoke up, "People find it hard to sleep with others staring at them," he stated as he opened one eye, my eyes shot from his lips to his eyes, "What are you staring at?" he asked, I shook my head.
"N-nothing," I answered in a low whispered, I felt Keith shake his head before he rested it close to the back of my neck, he moved my hair, which I had down, before he placed his lips against it, again I froze.
"What are you doing?" I asked, I just felt Keith smirk as he breathed in deeply.
"You smell nice," he answered as he pulled away, I didn't turn to face him, my face was way too red as I tried my hardest to get to sleep.
"Night Kate," Keith said as if nothing had happened, I gulped.
"Y-yeah, night," I answered as I closed my eyes, the world around me turning black as I relaxed my body, Keiths' arms still wrapped around my waist as I drifted off into a world of dreams, which in the morning, I'm gonna wish I never had.
We know about Keiths' black outs and where Kate come from now, how great is that, hope you all liked it, please REVIEW: D
