Chapter 12.
There was a knock at the door.
"Come in."
Slowly, the door opened, and in walked a young boy. He wore a black hoodie and blue jeans, with the hood covering most of his face.
The room was fairly large, with moniters littering one wall, and a desk with a swiveling chair.
"You called, lord Ghetsis?" the boy said. The chair spun around,
"Yes...Tal...I have a little mission for you." He said with an evil smirk.
. . .
"What are we gonna do? Rukia's been out for three days." Xavier said. He sat on the ground with the others in the Waterfall Paradise.
"Well, we better do something quick, because I'm sure Ghetsis is already plotting his next move." Jason said.
"Let's just go ourselves! It's not like Rukia's the only one with Pokemon powers here." Silver argued.
"True...But I still don't think we should just leave Rukia alone here. What if while we're gone beating Ghetsis, he sends some of his grunts to kidnap her?" Alex said.
"Well, after our little run in with her parents, I'm sure they've beefed up the security." Mia said with her arms crossed, leaning against a tree.
"Probably, but really how reliable are those guards anyway? You'd know, Mia." Andrew said with his hands in his pockets.
Xavier sighed and stood up, "Well sitting here and just talking about it isn't going to solve anything." Then he turned and walked away.
Andrew sighed, "we gotta come up with a plan. This is going to get bad real soon if we don't."
. . .
Xavier slipped past the guards and jumped through Rukia's bedroom window.
He walked over to her and crouched down, "...I wonder what's going on in her head right now..."
Then her Eevee skipped over to her and sat down. It just sat there and wagged it's tail.
Xavier looked at it curiously, then looked back down to Rukia.
Slowly, her eyes opened. Xavier smiled wide and hugged her.
The sudden burst scared her, so she hit him over the head and scooted back until she hit the wall.
"Ow! Hey Rukia! I'm glad your awake!"
"What happened? And why are you in my bedroom?" she asked.
"I came to see you. You've been out for 3 days."
Her eyes widened, "THREE DAYS?!" He nods, and scoots closer to her.
She looks at the floor, "That's insane...What happened?"
"Well..." Xavier starts, then tells Rukia the whole story. She nods when he finishes.
She stands up, "I'm gonna have a word with those guards." she starts for the door, when Xavier jumps up and grabs her arm,
"Rukia, don't! If your parents and everyone finds out we're still here, they'll tear apart the whole garden. And your family's reputation will be tattered once the village hears there's been freaks staying here."
Rukia pulled out of his grip, "I don't care about that! There won't be a village once Ghetsis is done with it! Besides, I'm the one next in line to be the head of my family and the leader of this village. I'll fix it."
Then she walks out of the room. Xavier sighs, and looks down at Eevee. It looked up at him and seemed to have said, 'I don't know either.'
. . .
Rukia walked to a room with her parents in it. She stopped infront of the door, took a deep breath, then slid the door open and walked in, sliding it closed behind her.
. . .
Xavier scooped up Eevee and hopped out the window and headed back for the Waterfall Paradise.
