Hi! Lil-Miss-Pokémon and Bloody Rose 1996 here! Here's chapter 2 of Futuristic Premonitions! Hope you enjoy!
The first thing I felt was a nagging feeling in my stomach that I had never felt before. This seemed to awaken some of my other senses. An aroma of roses drifted past my nose; it smelt just like the roses my Mum used to grow. I could also hear some chirping birds, nothing like the ones that were near the Hospital.
My eyes protested as I forced them open to look at my surroundings. It was not as I expected; what greeted me was lilac walls and not the white walls of the Hospital. This made me instantly nervous; where was I? I tried to recall what had happened but my head just hurt too much, as if there was a mental barrier stopping me remembering.
I was about to look more closely at my surroundings, when I heard faint footsteps approaching the room I was in. Bracing myself for what was to come, I watched the door creak open and a boys head appeared around the corner of it.
"SHU?" I exclaimed in shock. He looked at me a little taken aback, but smiled, his grin calming me down. As long as I had a friend with me, I didn't feel scared.
"Shu? What're you doing here? Where are we?" I could see his face fall, but then recovering and smiled even more.
"Kluke, I never knew you could act so panicky to wind me up," now it was my turn, for my face to fall.
"Shu I'm not joking, don't be so childish in a situation like this! Where are we?"
Shu started to approach me, and reaching out for my hands, he knelt down I front of me.
"Kluke are you alright, is the baby hurting you?" My heart skipped about 300 beats.
"Ba…bab…baby!" I yelled. Shu did something that made the situation even worse, he put his hands on my noticeable bump, that I had managed to miss before.
"Hunny, your 7 months pregnant, maybe you need to rest."
"REST, REST, AT A TIME LIKE THIS! I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM, WHO I AM, WHAT IM DOING HERE WITH YOU, AND IM P...R…PREG…" I was unable to continue because a pain, worse than anything I could ever of imagined shot through me from my stomach. I doubled over in pain, I felt arms wrap around me and lift me up in a cradle. I cried and cried into Shu's chest until no more tears came out.
"Are you feeling better now Kluke?" Shu's voice was a lot gentler than before as if he knew exactly how to comfort me. I didn't want my voice to betray me, so I just nodded my head. At this I felt myself being lowered down back onto the bed.
"I'll go get you something to eat, I want you and our baby to stay healthy," and with that Shu left the room, as if he knew I needed some space.
As I had no more tears left to shed, I just sat there in numbness. A little later I realized my hand had strayed to rest upon my stomach. This was when it came to me that I didn't know the date, or where everybody else was. How selfish was I, I hadn't even thought about the rest of the gang. My mind rested and took comfort from a certain someone in that gang. Him. My mind was so focused on the face that was smiling warmly at me, that I didn't notice the hand nudging me. I flinched but then remembered Shu.
"I got you something to eat," he murmured, setting down the plate in front of me. I murmured a thank you, before nibbling at the corners of the bread. I froze, and then a thought came to me. Now would be the perfect time to ask Shu about the situation at hand.
"…Shu? Where are the others?" I glanced at Shu to see his face had fallen again.
"Who?" at this I looked at him more intensely.
"Y'know…Jiro, Buuke, Marumaro and…everybody else?" I whispered.
"Well…Jiro's out training as always, Buuke's gone to visit her family and Marumaro went back to protect Lago village"
My heart began to pound in my chest as I uttered, "…and what about Andropov?" at this Shu slid next to me and held me to his chest.
"Hunny, you know what happened to him," he muttered, and my eyes went wide as realisation hit me like a bomb.
"…N-no…he can't be…he isn't!" I screamed, my whole body starting to shake as I pounded my fists against Shu's chest. I felt Shu's grip on me tighten to restrain me from hurting the three of us.
"shhh.. its alright, its going to be fine."
My throat tightened as I croaked "but its not… how.. how did it happen?"
"Well…you see…um…he got really frail…and…he …umm," Shu's voice cracked under the pressure.
"Ohh… but I was…was looking after him."
"Well you were exhausted, and you were on the brink of death yourself. I admitted my feelings for you because they said you only had an hour to live. You were in a coma. When you woke, Andropov…well passed away. But he passed knowing that I was going to take care of you and he knew you were going to live a happy life."
"…" I looked up at Shu and saw how he was being tortured just by re-telling this event. So I let the subject drop as my thoughts went to Andropov. The realization hadn't sunk in; it seemed like only yesterday when I was looking after him. Hang on, it was only yesterday.
"Shu, how long a go was this?" there may still be hope; it might just be a nightmare, a really realistic nightmare. "well 2 years, but Kluke, don't you remember, you cried over him for months and months and blamed it all on yourself."
We sat there hugging for what seemed like hours. When I finally came about my senses Shu looked at me, and before I could react his lips were pressed against mine. I gasped and backed away
"S…SHU… what was that for" my heart pounded; yes Shu was my friend, but he was like a brother to me; not a boyfriend.
"Kluke we are married y'know!" I could tell he was angry, but something more pressing hit my attention, before Shu had said "our baby." I froze, and then suddenly uncomfortable at our position, I leapt up and turned on him.
Shu froze but then stood up as well.
"Don't you REMEMBER ANYTHING?" he was shouting more than I have ever heard him shout.
"NO IF YOU MUST KNOW I DON'T, I WOKE UP THIS MORNING FINDING MYSELF PREGNANT, MARRIED TO YOU, 2 YEARS FROM WHEN I LAST REMEMBER SOMETHING, NOT KNOWING WHAT HAS HAPPENED, AND TO TOP IT OF ANDROPOV IS … IS .." with myself matching Shu's anger, I was so carried away I didn't notice a pain in my stomach that was so bad, I couldn't even talk without it hurting. The world came crashing around me as I said that line, Andropov gone, my life for the past two years was a blank, and I couldn't even remember what the hell happened because it hurts too much to think about it.
"Kluke, I'm so sorry, I've stressed you out, DAMIT, I said I wouldn't do this anymore. I promised you after our last argument I would never shout at you again and now look at me" Shu sat down on the bed in defeat and put his head in his hands.
"Shu, it's alright, don't worry but please come and help me," I was pleading, the pains weren't going away, if anything they were getting worse.
"Kluke? What's wrong?"
The last thing I remember was Shu jumping up and coming towards me, but then everything went black and I was lost in darkness…
