Chapter 14: The Escape
My feet touched the floor. It never felt so strange. I stood up and clenched my fists. "It's time to get going." Said Eevee. I took a step forward, and as my foot pressed down, the floor groaned as if it were threatening to suddenly fall apart. I almost wanted to run back into my bed. But this was for Eevee, and I will never turn my back on her.
Every step I took was as loud as a gunshot, making me flinch.
"You're going towards the right way," said Eevee slowly, "Just keep moving forward, towards the closet."
I moved my hand forward, reaching for the door knob that I would have had to eventually walk into. Then suddenly my hands closed on something cold and round. The doorknob, it felt different as if it could read my mind, as if it knew I was planning to escape. The doorknob felt harder to twist. I twisted it calmly, I couldn't ignore the different feeling to it. I felt the twisting reach a stop.
I pulled my body back and I could hear the door open. I walked forward and reached out my hand, feeling for my jacket.
My hand reached something cold and smooth. I clenched it and rubbed my hand across it, feeling for the hanger that I could pull it off of. I rubbed my hand upward and felt a cold jolt run up my arm. I felt it, a smooth cold cabal that had to be the hangar. I grabbed it and the jacket, and slowly backed up. I put it down on the floor but I didn't let go of the hangar. I pulled it out carefully like if I were playing a game of operation. But there was a strange weight that I couldn't figure out what it was.
"There's a pair of ski pants hooked to it." Assisted Eevee.
I nodded and moved my hand up the hangar and grabbed the ski pants that hung from the hook by a belt loop. I pulled it off silently and pointed the hangar towards the floor.
"I got it," whispered Eevee.
Something grabbed it and pulled it out of my hand.
I stood up and pulled off my pajama pants. I left my pajama shirt on though.
I reached the floor for my pants. I grabbed hold of something and felt it. It felt much too soft and bumpy for my pants.
I found a zipper and tugged it down. I pulled the jacked over my upper body, slipping my arms into its sleeves. I reached for my pants again, and this time I found them. I pulled the pants over my pajamas, almost slipping while putting them on. I stuck out my hands.
Eevee got the cue and put a ball in my hand. I carefully clipped it to my belt and Eevee put another ball into my hand. I clipped that one onto my belt. Then she put something that was shaped like a square in my hand. I realized it must've been a wallet and put it in my back pocket.
"Put me in your hood." Said Eevee.
I tilted my head to show a sign of confusion. If I talked someone might walk in here to tell me be quiet. If Eevee talks no one would think of anything.
"I'll help guide you," she said.
I reached my arms out and reached my hands out like if I were going to carry her. She put herself in my hands and I picked her up. I put her over my head and she jumped into my hood, while kicking the back of my head. I could feel the new weight in my hood, moving around, it choked me a little. But I was okay.
I could feel Eevee's head on my left shoulder, looking forward for me.
I walked towards the door and put my ear to it. I couldn't hear anyone.
I put my hand on the door and slowly turned it. It moved without a single budge. I pushed the door open fast enough to hit whoever may have been on the other side. But no one was there. I held back a sigh of relief and closed the door behind me. I walked down the hall and crept down the stairs. Not a sound was heard tonight. I reached the bottom and the floor groaned like I stepped on someone sleeping.
I looked around. The peace and quiet continued.
I walked to the door and put my hand on the doorknob. I turned it but it reached a halt immediately.
"Shoot, locked," Eevee said quietly for me. "I have an idea, minion, take out scyther."
Minion? I looked at Eevee, sarcastically.
I pulled out my pokeball. I bit my lower lip knowing how much noise this was going to make. I looked around, maybe I could do something else? In the kitchen!
I started to walk over to the kitchen. When Eevee suddenly blurted," What are you doing minion?"
I put a finger up to my lip and walked into the kitchen, where the floor had tiles and it was hard. It was the easiest to sneak in. I remember, just the other night I was cooking in here, and drinking tea. I walked over to the nearest drawer when Eevee muttered," I hear something on the stairs."
I looked around, there was nowhere to hide.
"Duck and go under the sink cabinet!" muttered Eevee.
I walked over to it as fast as possible and opened the wooden cabinet. It had two small door and was large enough for a person laying on his side, while squishing himself into a ball, to fit. I ducked and slid myself inside, with my back against the sink. My feet were on the wall to my right, and my head and was squished against the wall to my left. Thankfully it was pretty empty, aside from the extra bottles of detergent and boxes of tissue.
Eevee closed the doors and pushed herself against my stomach. It took about 10 seconds, or faster.
I closed my eyes and put a hand over my face to muffle my breathing. As expected I heard someone walk into the room.
"I could've swore someone walked in here!" muttered a voice. He looked around for a few seconds.
I could hear the person yawn and say," Man I must be really tired. Maybe I'll have myself some coffee. Where did she say the tea was? In the top cabinet?"
I could hear something open above me, it sounded like another cabinet.
The man hummed some tune to himself as he opened the fridge. I could hear him take some stuff out.
The inside of the small room I was in, was feeling hotter, and hotter. I could feel sweat accumulate on my forehead.
I could hear him open a microwave and put something inside. He closed it and pushed a few buttons. Then there was a quiet hum from the microwave that silence my breathing.
Just a few more minutes and we should be able to go, I thought to myself. Once I get Scyther from my ball he should be able to cut open the doorknob. The humming was silenced by a light mechanical chime and the microwave opened.
"She has the best taste in coffee! The pay's good! And of course Dental with the job! What a wonderful job this is." Said the person. He sipped the coffee and I could hear him walk away.
I grabbed onto Eevee before she could leap out of the cabinet that felt like a furnace. She struggled to leap out of my hands as I kept her down. She kicked me in the stomach and I nearly gasped.
A few more minutes, no one was this patient.
"Maybe no one is really here," said the voice. This time it sounded like he left, but I still doubted it.
A few more minutes, when suddenly I could hear his footsteps go away. Just a few more seconds.
I didn't hear anything.
Another minute, just another minute. After a few seconds I'll be able to get out. I breathed in deeply and pushed the door open, but no one was there this time.
I pushed myself out of the cabinet, Eevee fell to the floor. I checked past the doorway, the coast was clear.
"The coast is clear," I whispered to Eevee.
She didn't respond.
"Hey Eevee," I said shacking her. She was burning hot to the touch. She must've fainted because it was too hot. Even I was getting a small headache. On top of that, she's wearing a fur coat, and she's much smaller than I. While I was wearing a decent down jacket and ski pants. Well I guess it would make sense that she fainted.
I looked for Eevee's pokeball on my belt. I restrained myself from slapping my head very hard. Of course she forgot to get her own ball. I looked around and then pulled out scyther's Pokeball. Well there's no other way if escape. Let's say people ran in here. I would hide under the sink. Then Scyther would hide... I looked around, there was nowhere to hide. Well I guess we'll have to run out at that point. Also a bad idea.
No one else has the capability of breaking a doorknob. If I tried to break it, well even if I had my eyesight it would be impossible because it would take too much time and ontop of that the guy that drank coffee would be back in not too long to was the cup, or put it in the sink. Shoot! If I only had time to break out!
What do I do?! What do I do?! Alright calm down. I put eevee back under the sink and left the doors open.
Alright the door can't be the only way to break out!
I looked at the window in the living room. It was barred shut. I looked at the kitchen window, also barred. All windows are barred and shut, or locked.
The floor above me groaned.
Shoot the guy was coming back!
I ducked and put myself back under the sink. I carefully closed the doors.
The guy came in humming a tune. I could hear his boots stick to the floor. I could hear the water run over my head and splashing in the sink. I could hear the water stop running and I could hear him walk away. I stayed there for a minute, no a full minute. Not making a sound. I pressed my hand against my face and pressed it against my nose. I could hear him walk away again, he was most likely stomping on the ground and stomping lighter and lighter, to make the footsteps sound further.
"What the-!" he said out loud. He seemed to try to say something. When suddenly I could hear something lightly land on the floor.
The doors opened and I nearly fainted from the shock.
"Dusk-Dusknoir?" I said aghast. I could barely tell. It was like looking at a 3 year old's crayon depiction of the yellow moon in a cloudless night sky.
"Who else," said the voice sounding almost amused. I got out of the small space and pulled out Eevee.
"What happened to her?" he asked.
"Fainted, it was getting really hot in their you know?" I said. "Do you know what's going on?"
"I've followed you after you left. I saw that your mother got you, and when the helicopter took off, I stuck to the bottom of it! I couldn't help you at night because you were poisoned and you were too tired, to leave. If I showed myself in the day to you, a Pokemon might have smelled me."
My eyes became watery as I croaked," Dusknoir."
"Aw… Don't get emotional with me young man! Besides I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing this to hurt the woman that hurt me!"
"You mean my mother?"
"Yes! Who else? Now let's get you out of here!" said Duknoir. "The lock is already unlocked." I looked beside him and that a Wizard was on the floor, asleep.
I scooped up Eevee in my left arm and stood up then started to walk when Dusknoir stopped me.
"Are you okay? Your eyes look bad." Said Duknoir.
"The poison destroyed my eyes. I most likely won't ever get my sight back. If I escape I plan to act blind, to help fool the wizards. Of course I'm as blind as a bat, at this point."
A cold large hand grabbed my wrist.
"I'll lead you." Whispered the Durknoir, giving me chills. It sounded like this was the voice he used to lead the dead, not the blind. He pulled me towards the front door. He opened the door and pulled me along. He lead me through the snow, from then on it was freedom.
(Setsuna Damius Note: My father took my phone away! (For most likely forever) Now how in the world am I supposed to finish chapters while I'm away from home? I blame you dad! WHO SUPPOSED TO PROTECT MY CITY IN CLASH OF CLANS NOW XD?! Naw…. Just kidding, but seriously, that jerk.
Alright drew an awesome hoodie for Roukou to wear, in the middle of Summer. Heh heh (if I could, I would wear it :) ), and now I'm posting on Archive of our own . I'm also planning to do sketches for Roukou with each of his Pokemon.
I wasn't planning on having Latias like Roukou, but you know, this might be interesting lol. I mean I had planned a character that he was going to like, but she felt more like an older sister, someone that kind of guided him. So maybe Latias and Roukou, but I guess I'm confused on 'how to make it work'. I mean I've heard vampires and humans, I've heard werewolves and humans, I've even heard of snake gods and humans. But Latias and humans, don't know how to make it work, but I want to pull this off in the book somehow. I mean how does it work for a human to go up to a Pokemon and be like I like you! Date me! :D (And now my Microsoft word is telling me the 'does it work' portion of the sentence is wrong. The auto correct is saying replace the 'does it work' with 'it works'. Seriously lol?)
Sorry I took so long to post the chapters. Like I said I originally was planning for a new girl, so Latias was no love interest to Roukou, so I had to go back and add stuff.
