Keiths' P.O.V
The moment Buizel and I arrived at the Hippowdon Temple I knew something was wrong. For one, Glaceon was outside the Temple, looking around frantically before seeing us.
She quickly rushed over to us, tears in her eyes but she blinked them away. I ordered her to take me through the Temple to Kate, even though I knew Kate would have told her not to.
Glaceon lead us through the Temple, things that needed to be cleared were cleared by Kate, since she had been here first.
Once Glaceon stopped outside of a small room she froze, as did Buizel, but I didn't understand why.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Blood," Glaceon answered as she backed away from the door.
"A lot of blood," Buizel added on. That was enough to make me barge into the room. I looked at the stop of a small amount of stairs to see Kate lying at the top of them. I quickly rushed up.
Cresselia came out from the other room as soon as I arrived. Her eyes started to glow pink, causing Kate to glow pink, her more serious wounds healed up in a few seconds, as did her less serious cuts. Her broken bones remained broken and her bruises remained.
Her energy was drained, I could tell that much. I knelt down by her side once she stopped glowing pink. I looked up at Cresselia who was frowning, regret in her eyes.
"Why didn't you help her?" I asked. Cresselia just looked at me, her eyes full of sorrow and regret.
"Keith, by Pokemon Guardian law I'm not allowed to help her until either you or her own Guardian came to her rescue," Cresselia answered, I glared at the Lunar Pokemon.
"I don't give a shit about Guardian Law, Kate was in danger you were here you could have helped. And so help me Arceus if she doesn't make it through this, you'll be paying the price," I growled as I placed my fingers on Kate's neck, checking for a pulse. Luckily, she had one, but it was very faint and fading quickly.
I gathered her into my arms as I knelt next to her before pulling my styler out.
"You got Rythmi," Ryth's voice came from the other line.
"Rythmi, I need you to get the doctors to get a bed read, and have someone meet me in front of the Union," Kate needed medical help, and fast.
I picked the, barely still conscious, girl up in my arms. Her blood coated me, but I didn't care, Kate needed me, she'd do the exact same for me.
I sighed as I walked to the front of the room; I went towards the light and went we were soon at the front of the Hippowdon Temple, Cresselia, Glaceon and Buizel by my side.
"Keith, I can teleport you back to the Union if you would like," Cresselia spoke; I nodded my head as Cresselia did so. We were soon stood in front of the Union, Solana and Lunick were outside waiting, luckily Solana was feeling much better.
The two rushed over to me once they saw me, their eyes wide as they looked at Kate, who had finally passed out.
"We need to get her to a room, quickly," Lunick ordered as he held the doors to the Union open. I nodded my head as I quickly rushed in with Kate in my arms.
We rushed up the stairs, to the medical rooms. Rythmi was waiting for us there with the doctors. Once she saw Kate, her eyes went wide, quickly filling as tears as she did so.
"What happened?" she asked as I set Kate on the bed. The doctors quickly came around her before ushering us out of the room. I didn't answer Rythmi, I really didn't want to, this was….no, I couldn't blame my friends, I just couldn't.
"Keith, what happened?" Lunick asked as he looked at me, Raisha came up next to us; she flipped her hair over her shoulder before speaking.
"Kellyn and Seren have gone on a mission to help Sven with. I need to go to the forest and make sure there are no pokemon either hurt, or still hurt from the fiasco a few days ago. Murph just told me about Katie, I hope she gets well soon, be careful with her after this, she'll need lots of rest," she explained as she hugged everyone, minus me, due to being covered in blood, goodbye.
I slumped in a nearby seat, this was my fault. If my father didn't know, then he would have never done this, I'm cursed I know I am. Everyone I love seems to die in the end at the hands of my father. I sighed as Rythmi sat down next to me; she was like a sister to me.
"Keith, what happened?" she asked in a calm voice, I growled as I balled my hands into fists.
"What do you think happened? My fucking asshole of a father got a hold of her, just like he did with mom," I whispered the last part to myself but I know Rythmi heard it because she stood up and was in front of me in less than a second.
"Keith Atreyu Dazzle, don't you dare go blaming this on yourself. So your father's a cunt. So he attacks the ones you care about. You've done nothing wrong for him to want to target us. Your father's who he is and you're who you are. Kate knew from the start who you were and what she'd be in for and she still stuck around. If she was out here right now she'd be telling you not to go blaming yourself now stop it because this isn't your fault," she scolded in a harsh motherly tone. I looked up from my balled fists to her; she smiled sadly as she saw me do so.
I sighed as I nodded my head. My father had a thing for attacking my friends, I could remember the first time that he ever came to the Ranger School when I had first entered it, and it didn't end well.
I sat in my room on the first night of Ranger School, I didn't know anyone there, but everyone seemed to know me, for they were whispering about me.
I sat on the windowsill, just watching the moon, looking at the stars, wondering if my mother was watching me. I slowly ran a hand through my hair; one of the student's comments caught my ears.
"Why's he here? He'll end up just like his father," I didn't know who it was that said it, whoever had said it was a dick anyway. But then someone did something, something I didn't think anyone would have the guts to do.
"Why don't you shut it," it came out more of an order than a question. I dared a look over my shoulder to the boy who had spoken it, I didn't know him then, but he soon became one of my closest friends.
"Just because someone's father or mother is like that doesn't mean the child will become like them," a blond mushroom haircut boy spoke, he also became one of my closest friends.
"Well it isn't our fault, for all we know his mother's a prostitute," oh that got me. I spun around on my heel, marched over to the kid, picked him up by his collar and threw him to the other side of the room, where the door was. He ended up going through the door and into the common room, where most of the girls still sat.
I stalked out of the broken door to see the shocked and scared looks on the girl's faces, but I didn't care. I walked over to the boy lying face down on the ground. I pulled him to his feet again before punching him around the face, his nose broke instantly with the force of my punch.
A blond girl squeaked in surprise while a black haired girl quickly jumped to her feet. The blonde one followed after her, both of them holding my arms so I couldn't hit him again. Kellyn and Isaac then stepped in front of me, both with their hands on their hips.
"Let it go, Keith," Isaac spoke in a soft tone.
"He doesn't know anything," Kellyn spoke.
"I don't know what he's done but maybe you should just let it go," Rythmi stated.
"Yeah, Jay's a dick with everyone," Seren stated, I growled lowly.
"When the bastard says my dead mother's a prostitute I have a fucking right to batter the shit out of him," I growled as I looked up at Kellyn and Isaac, they both flinched at the look in my eyes, while Seren and Rythmi were about to speak someone else did.
"So, you actually came here," I froze up slightly, Seren and Rythmi slowly let go of me, everyone else, minus Kellyn, Isaac, Rythmi and Seren, scurried out of the room. We turned around to face my father with a glare on his face. "I don't know how many times I've told you, you don't belong here, you'll only end up like me," I looked down at my feet once he said that, I knew it was true, someday I would end up like him, or my brother.
"You're lying," I was shocked to hear Rythmi defend me, but also scared, I knew my father wouldn't take kindly to it.
"What did you say?" he asked as he glared at Rythmi, who rolled her eyes.
"Please, there are scarier things in this world than you. And frankly, Keith won't turn out like you, or he would have already attacked someone here for absolutely no reason," she continued, oh no, stop now, Rythmi please.
"Say that again girl, I dare you," my father growled.
"Rythmi's right though. Just because you're a murderer, or after that Gift thing doesn't mean Keith will turn out like you," Seren replied.
"Or his brother for that matter. Keith's a nice guy, he wouldn't hurt anyone," Kellyn stated.
"Then you obviously know nothing about him," Max growled.
"I'm not even in the same class as him and even I can tell you that Keith's a nice guy, he won't hurt anyone and we probably know more about him from looking at him than you do after being with him for over fifteen years," Isaac stated as he looked at Max, who growled at him.
I could tell my father was pissed off and that's when he decided it was time to take his anger out on not only me, but Isaac, Kellyn, Rythmi and Seren as well.
The rest of that was a blur to me; all I could remember was being punched in the face and knocked out from behind.
The next thing I know, I'm waking up in a hospital bed, with a broken ankle. Kellyn was in the bed next to me with a black eye and a sprained arm, Isaac had a black eye, swollen lip and broken wrist, Seren had a black eye, a cut on the back of her head, a large cut on her chest and a few broken ribs, Rythmi seemed to have suffered the worst, she had a broken leg, arm and a black eyes.
As I tried to sit up I realised that I also had a stab wound to my stomach, guess she didn't suffer the worst after all. I sighed as I looked up at the ceiling, the others were awake.
"About time you woke up," Kellyn sighed.
"We were getting worried," Seren stated as she looked at me. I gave a confused look, but it was directed to the ceiling.
"Why?" I asked.
"Erm, hello, you got stabbed," Rythmi stated, I looked at her.
"And you're all battered and beaten," I replied.
"But we don't care about that, we'll stick up for what we believe in and your father was out of line. Besides, you're our friend now, we can put up with this kind of pain," Isaac stated, I shook my head as I looked back at the ceiling.
"You don't wanna be friends with me, you'll only end up hurt, or dead," I replied.
"Well, that's not really your decision if we want to be friends with you or not, it's ours. We know what we're in for Keith and we'll stick by you," Rythmi smiled as she looked at us.
"We promise," they all spoke. For the first time in my life, since my mother had died, I smiled, a true smile. I had found a place I belonged and no one, not even my father would take that from me.
But now I fear that he hasn't only taken my mother from me, but maybe Kate too.
I sighed, there wasn't anything I could do, the only thing I could really do was just sit here and wait. Wait for Kate to either pull through or….. I can't say it, but you know what I mean.
So that's what I did, I sat on the chairs, in my blood stained clothes and I waited with Rythmi, Solana and Lunick who had been silently praying that Kate would pull through.
