(A/N ima back.

SO some of you may have noticed that the age rating went up slightly, that's just because this fanfic has turned out a whole lot darker than I origionally thought, that's all.

Anyway, lets get on with this.)

Ash paced the floor in frustration.

How could they possibly stop a huge, prehistoric, murderous ghost, which they hadn't even been able to see yet.

"What," he asked. "Do we know from the legend"

The rest of the group looked at each other.

"That it's a kabutops?" suggested Serana

"It's scary." Said Iris

"It only kills every half an hour." May said.

Ash pointed at May.

"Right, so as long as we are all awake around that time, we sould be fine, seeing as it only ever seems to kill when no-ones around to witness it."

"That being said, we still need someone to wake everyone up," said Brock.

"Right."

Ash rubbed his eyes.

"Who'll go first?"

Everyone seemed to gain an apparent interest in the ceiling or the floor.

Rolling his eyes, Brock stepped up.

"I'll watch first."

Brock was ten minutes into his watch, when he heard something behind him.

Spinning around, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was just Ash, sitting up.

"You should really get to sleep," he told him.

Ash shrugged.

"I try, but then I remember Dawn… and Cilan."

Brock nodded.

"Yup, they where good people, and amazing friends."

" What happened to them Brock, are they really going to spend eternity in this… void?"

"I don't know Ash."

There was a short silence.

"This is all my fault," muttered Ash.

Brock gave him a look.

"No, Ash, it isn't."

"But it is Brock!" he exclaimed. "I released it, Cilan and Dawn died… because of me, and my bloody stupidity."

"Ash, we can't think like that, not now, we've got to think about how to keep the rest of us alive."

Ash took a deep breath, and shook his head.

"Your right… I'm sorry, it's just..."

Brock smiled sadly at him.

"I understand."

There was silence for a couple of minutes, then May murmured and shifted a bit.

Realizing that her blanket had fallen off, Ash bent over and carefully put it back on top of her, taking a moment to watch her sleep, he smiled at how peaceful she looked.

Brock grinned.

"You like her, don't you."

Ash looked at him, a blush appearing on his face.

"What do you mean?"
Brock smirked.

"Nothing… you should really get to sleep, were not going to have much of it tonight."

"Right," muttered Ash, before rolling over and eventually falling asleep.

Brock smiled, then looked at the clock.

Ten minutes till nine.

Satisfied, Brock rested back onto the chair he was using.

Unfortunately for him, he didn't notice as something moved amongst the group behind him.

It stopped momentarily as he started humming to himself, then carried on when it realised that it was still undetected.

Ten metres away.

Five metres away.

Five centimetres away.

The thing would have laughed had it had a mouth, instead, it released a load of clicking noises from it's mouth.

Brock froze, and started to rise.

He never made it off the seat.

(A/N so what do you think.

I'm sorry about how short the chapters are, I never have enough time to carry on.

Anyway, please review, tell me what I'm doing good, what I'm doing bad, and I'll see you all next time.

Peace.)
