I can only truly write when I get in that mood.

I have started to forget my story and will probably update this chapter later.

Chapter 2

I woke up inside that depressing basement room that I don't really want to relive. It-like the entire basement-had an eerie blue glow with cabinets full of body parts in jars. Dead bodies littered the entire floor and their blood was stained on the stone floor and walls. The tables in the room, I was on one, were covered in oddly fresh blood that was still damp. Two dead bodies were leaning in a corner that looked familiar, but at the time I couldn't place their names off the top of my head. I looked around in the room until I noticed what I was wearing. I was wearing a white bloodstained undershirt and shorts. After my eyes adjusted to the lack of light, I noticed May lying on the table next to me wearing basically the same thing.

She turned her head towards me and said "Ash, are we going to live through this?" I told her I wasn't sure but then she said something that shocked me. She said, "I wonder if this is Arceus' way of telling me that it's time to tell you the truth."

"What?" I asked in anticipation. She looked at me confused and really nervously, I didn't know why, but at the same time I knew exactly why. She loved me like I have her. I said, "Let me tell you something first. You are the moonlight that shows me the way through the darkness that is my lonely childhood. You have shown me that beauty is not only on the outside, but also on the inside. I never saw it in anyone else before until I met you. May, I have always loved you since the day I was born."

She remarked, "Ash, I never knew you felt that way. If I did, then I would have told you that you were a light of capability and almost continuous happiness. I love you too."

"I knew you two had it in you," the doctor remarked. "I saw it in you when I first saw you. The two of you had a bond that went far deeper than either of you knew. Aya had always found it easy to be perpetually happy because her mother put a charm on her to protect her. Your mother probably did the same while you were a young toddler. Speaking of Aya, you see those two dead bodies; those are Aya's new friends to play with in the afterlife. You would know the two of them as Broc and Max. Before you say anything, let me tell you this, your souls will dance for eternity trapped in this house. They will be bound here so that not a single bit of you will ever move on and your beauty will truly be eternal."

"You have to be insane to even think something as evil as that. Beauty can't be eternally perpetual because time will eventually kill everything and will eat off the physical beauty leaving only the memories and love," May called out. "Love is the only thing that is truly eternal because as long as someone has feelings for someone, the memories will live on, and if the memories live on, then the love you feel will never die."

"Enough of your babbling," Alfred said. "It's time you joined Aya for all of the fun. You won't be suffering too long because I won't just kill you, for that would mutilate the body and ruin it. No, I am going to poison you, rot your insides. You can't question lethal injection." After that, he walked over to a cabinet and pulled a jar full of serum and a syringe. He proceeded to squeeze some of the juice up into the syringe and get the air out of the needle. First, he walked over to May and squeezed it into the main artery that leads to the head. He did that so it would choke out the brain, which would end all muscle movement and then proceed back to the heart through the jugular. It would reach the heart and choke it to stop blood flow and ultimately stop oxygen flow to the organs to help shut them down faster.

Shortly after the entire syringe of poison entered the blood, May's body uncontrollably started jolting and cringing on the table. Blood poured from her mouth and onto the table as her body calmed down as the brain was in its dying stages. After the poison reached her heart, she was gasping for breath because her lungs were filling rapidly with poison and her internal organs were cringing and shivering causing her whole body to twitch and cringe. Her body was performing a last ditch effort to stay alive but failed and I watched as her body slowed until it completely stopped. I was crying like a madman the entire time and couldn't really see anything half of the time. He looked at me with disgust and grabbed another syringe. The last thing I remembered before it all went dark was the syringe pricking into my flesh and the poison pool out into my bloodstream.

OOOOO

That's pretty much the story of how we died but it most certainly isn't the end of the story. I woke up minutes later in the main hall. Unlike the empty mansion I would've seen only minutes ago, this house was full of the souls of those that were experimented on and were just wandering everywhere. I saw May at the top of the steps waving me up. I went up to her and we started floating hand in hand. She said that there was something I would want to see.

We went into the room that I later learned was the doll room and watched as Alfred's completed experiments were being set up. We watched him walk out of the room and we floated over to the bodies that were once us. He had a doll setting in a chair that was centered in front of all the other dolls. On either side was another doll. On the right was May in a red wedding dress and red heels with her hands extended out to meet the hands of person standing on the left in a navy blue tuxedo and pure black formal shoes. That man was me standing there. He set us up in a wedding like pose. In between us was a man in a priest's robe that was mainly white with gold stripes. He had a bible in one hand and his other was extended up in the air. It was Broc playing priest and Max was the ring bearer dressed similar to me with two rings setting on a pillow that both of his hands were holding up. Something came up behind me and tapped my shoulder. It was none other than Broc and Max. They had a small girl that looked similar to the one in the chair. I turned back around and stared at the scene he put us in, and it almost brought a tear upon my ghostly eyes. His compassion to attempt to make us feel better in our afterlife nearly made me forget that I was still angry at his soul.

I turned back around to face them and I asked what the girls name was and she told me Aya. I had heard that name before, but not just from what the doctor was talking about earlier. I drifted around in circles until May asked me, "What's wrong Ash?"

"I've heard of Aya's name before but I can't remember where."

"We could look through the archives in the archive room. We could dig up some family history and maybe find out where you've heard of me."

"Let's go then already." We drifted through the hallways until we stumbled upon the archives and went inside. We found Alfred sitting at the desk doing bills and also had several pictures with him, probably pictures of local poor people. He could use them as his next experiments. He left without shedding so much as a glance to the pictures of his family along the wall. We drifted over to the desk and the different cabinets and started searching for family history of the Drevis'. I came across a chart that showed a family tree going all the way back to the early 1800's when their family separated apparently from the main clan to form the Drevis name when Aya's great grandfather went off to war against the early rising Team Rocket and never returned to his homeland. He was then separated from the rest of the family and basically forgotten. I looked at the top to find out the name of the head clan. The title at the top of the page was 'Family Tree of the Drevis and Ketch'Arius. When I derived the main root of the name, it sounded and looked a lot like my family name, Ketchum. I took a closer look at Aya and she did look a lot like me and just like me, had no real physical resemblance to either of her parents or any of her other ancestors. I called out, "Hey guys, I think that I found something," They gathered around me and collectively gasped when they saw what I had seen.

"I can't believe it, we are related like long lost cousins." May and Max glanced oddly at each other realizing that they both loved different people that were distantly related. "It's all right because we are so distantly related, that it doesn't really matter at this point. So let's just keep moving because Broc and Max have something that they want to tell you about." Max and Broc then came over and told May and I about their gruesome murders in full detail as I explained earlier in the story. We also decided to tell each other about our individual nightmares that we both experienced that I also described to you earlier. I had a shiver of despair crawl over my heart as I realized that there was no way to get out this house for our souls were bound to this house for eternity.

The ghosts that were all over the place began to gather around them for they felt the anger surging through us. They began to glow a bright light that was generating enough heat to cook through the flesh that none of us even had any longer.

OOOOO

Alfred was walking down the hall when he began to feel a heat generate somewhere in the house. He ran around the house checking all of he rooms to see if it was on fire. He didn't see anything but the heat was constantly getting hotter. A thought then shot through his mind. I felt this pressure and heat the last time the dead rose from their graves and attacked me. He tried to run for the door but as he opened it, the rain was so incredibly thick and the clouds made everything pitch black. He saw that the ground was complete goo and was crumbling apart to fall into the sea below. He ran back inside and saw a bright ball of light glowing in his face and a loud boom! It was a loud sonic boom and saw that everything that wasn't nailed to the floor was toppled over onto the floor. Plants and tables with shattered vases littered the floor. The chandeliers were against the walls and candle wax was all over the place. What truly startled him was what happened afterwards.

What did he see?

I'm pretty sure you already know and this isn't a very good cliffhanger.
