Hey guys! I'm sorry for not updating sooner, but there was so much going on lately. I had exams, there was a carnival in my town and me and my friends suddenly had the strange urge to go all out weird. (Like that's never happened before ;) But now I present to you with great pride: Chapter 4! I hope you all enjoy it, and reviews would be SUPERhelpfull. And I don't own pokemon because if I did, so many of these shippings would have become true already! Oh well… *deep sigh*
Chapter 4: Just a little game
PREVIOUS CHAPTER: It was a really fun game after all. When we went back to the changing room, I thought about today. It hadn't been that bad, even good at some points. But tonight, we needed to get back to work, and I don't mean homework (even though we needed to take care of that too.)
MISTY'S POV:
It was around 9 pm that we left our house. Dawn was itching to get started (we were a little less eager but oh well.) All of us wore our suits, our training ones that is, and headed for the woods. They were a few miles away from our house so we did a race to see who was the fastest. Dawn won, as usual. When we arrived at a clear spot, Dawn turned around with a sinister smile: "Okay girls, let's get started."
GARY'S POV:
It was around 8:30, and we were all in gathered in the living room. Ash was finally done with his homework, Drew was reading something and Paul was just staring into space.
"So what do you guys think?"
"That homework should be replaced with eating?" this comment earned the raven-haired boy a slap from me, a glare from Paul and Drew pinched the bridge of his nose before sighing.
"No genius" he muttered, "about those girls in class today and whether or not they are those spies."
Those girls, they were weird, especially that Leaf-girl, she didn't even blush when I flirted with her.
"But they all used a different power, and it's impossible to have 2 powers because I you use too much power you burn up." said Ash, efficiently pulling me out of my thoughts.
"That may be true, but still, the way they fought during P.E. today, it seemed a bit familiar."
"You're right Drew, it did. And their body structures were also the same." I responded.
"Of course you would notice that you perv." came a dark response from an equally dark boy.
"Well Paul that's the difference between the two of us, you glare at people, I look at them."
"Or examine…" Drew muttered under his breath.
Now I turned to him: "Don't try to hide the fact that you looked at those girls as well, it was almost as obvious as Ash."
Said boy looked confused: "I don't get it."
I started to explain as patiently as I could, but I was cut off by Drew. Again.
"What do you think Paul?"
"There are some similarities, but I'm not sure yet, we need more info." He turned to me: "Did the database come up with something?"
"Not a thing. No family, powers, homes, only that they all lived in the same orphanage for a while, but they quickly vanished."
"Orphanage huh? That explains why she didn't want to talk about her family." Ash mused.
"Same for May, I came up with zip. No thoughts, nor theirs nor the thieves. And I couldn't even read May's emotions. It's extremely frustrating."
I looked at the greenhead in shock.
"What?"
"You can't do something? And you even admitted it? That's the first." I mocked
Looking at Drew, I noticed he was about to attack, but before either of us could move we were trapped by shadows.
"Both of you calm down." Paul growled through clenched teeth.
"Wow Paul you're in a worse mood then usual, did something happen during fashion class?" I asked, full of malicious delight.
"That's right, I still haven't killed you for that."
I gulped and quickly stood up: "Time for training!"
Paul's POV:
While we were heading for our usual training spot in the woods, I noted that –for the first time ever- Gary was right: I was in a bad mood. I was beaten twice, by a girl. But that wasn't even the worst the part, it was that Troublesome-girl I was teamed up for that stupid assignment. She didn't even seem afraid of me, heck, she had an effect on me! That hadn't happened in like, forever actually, and just for some stupid tie. And then there was that battle. While I taught of it, my jaw set and my glare intensified. How in the name of Mew did they do that? They are new, and they had managed to beat us. Us, the elite team of the Rose academy and top team of our organization. They were just… different. That green-eyed girl kept looking at you as if you were a chess piece, waiting for your next move, that other brunette would fight like a monster if you came close enough. The redhead was leading them and then Troublesome just flew around grabbing scarfs. They didn't even use powers for Arceus' sake. No, no powers that we could we see, I reminded myself. That was the most important question: where they those thieves or not? And why didn't we find anything in the database? Even their pasts are a mystery.
We arrived at our usual training spot, a clear spot in the forest when I stopped causing Ash to bump into me. Speak of the devil- There, they stood, in our training spot nothing less.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
They all turned around in perfect battle stance, but stood up quickly after they saw it was us.
"Just a little late-night activity" Troublesome responded vaguely.
"Like?"
"You don't want to know." May responded with her usual face-no emotions visible. I had only saw her emotions once, but not on her face, in her eyes.
"In case you didn't notice Airhead, when people ask something, they usually do want to know something." came Drew's response, as he did his usual hair-flick.
Troublesome shot May a dangerous look. "We are here to play a game silly!" she exclaimed while spinning on one foot. I sweat dropped.
What?
Drew's POV:
"A game" came Ash's unsure response, this certainly caught us of guard. "Why would you play a game in the middle of the night?"
Misty answered, clearly annoyed: "It's this tradition, every week, we play a game of poketag in the woods. Even though Dawn is the only reason we still do it." she glared at said girl.
Dawn however was unfazed. "That promised, and yet they always act like a group of sour Delcatty's."
"Because there's never a winner!"
"Why is that?" I asked.
Leaf answered: "We always go after one another, but never catch each other, and since we're all very competitive we don't give up."
"Then why don't we play too? I'd love to play games with you." Gary snickered.
I rolled my eyes, could this guy be any more perverted? Probably not.
Dawn gasped in surprise. "That would be so cool!"
"You really want to lose again?" May asked us, putting emphasizes on the word again.
"No, we just figured we wouldn't let play alone in the big dark scary forest." I answered, right through Ash's response.
"Puh, we could take all of you down easily."
"Stop it!" Misty grumbled. Then she smiled. "Care for a little bet?"
"Sure," Ash said, "like what?"
"If all of you get captured by us, you need to dress up as a pokemon for school tomorrow."
"And if we manage to capture one of you?" Paul asked.
"What's your proposal?"
"You all have to fill in one request, it can also be a question and you have to reply honestly."
"Sure, sounds good." May said, ignoring her sisters' looks.
"Pick a pokemon everyone!" Gary said while releasing his Arcanine. Ash chose –as expected- his Pikachu. Paul released his Honchkrow and I released Flygon.
Then Misty chose a Togekiss. "Why a Togekiss? I thought you trained water types?" Ash asked confused.
"Let that sink in for a moment."
"Oh right! No water…"
This earned him 7 facepalms.
Dawn chose her Zorua, and Leaf picked Charizard. Like before May just stood there looking at her pokebal.
"Do I need to tell you how to use a pokebal Airhead?" I asked.
Her eyes were on fire in a split second. "No, I was just wondering whether or not I should pick Arthur."
"Why not? Did he get hit that wounded from a little Razor Wind?""
Her eyes turned murderous. "Don't. You. Dare. Insult. Arthur. Or I won't guarantee you'll live to see tomorrow."
"Who said I was insulting him? Maybe I was complementing you for being so caring about your pokemon."
May just stood there, trying to think of a comeback. Based on her mouth opening and closing a few times, she didn't find one. My smirk grew.
"Will you two stop flirting?" Leaf asked, causing Dawn to giggle.
"Oh shut it Leaf." May answered before releasing an…Altaria? Interesting.
Dawn explained the rules to us: "If you're pokemon is defeated, you are still in the game, but if you lose if you are caught. You can use your pokemon and powers. Alright. Ready? Set. GO!"
Everyone quickly took off, and started playing poketag.
LEAF'S POV:
Yes! I can finally have my payback on that annoying Gary, that'll teach him. We had all decided to go after "our" boy, so using my X-ray vision I quickly found him. I started chasing him, while my Charizard flew above me. I came across a small tree that blocked my path, but I just jumped over it. What was the use of chopping it down anyway? That and Dawn would kill me if she knew. (FINALLY! If there is anything that annoys me, it's those trees!)Knowing that I couldn't sneak up on him with his Arcanine around, I called Charizard down.
"You think you can distract him girl?" She nodded. "Okay, you need to lure him as far away as you can, and I'll give you some backup, good?" She flew up and released a ferocious roar that did 3 things:
I knew she understood the plan.
All the Pidgeys in the area flew away in terror.
And 3… I heard Arcanine growl and run through the forest, following the flying fire type. Behind him was Gary, following his trail, but not running. I climbed into a tree to examine the situation. There! A perfect place for an ambush. I prepared myself to pounce.
GARY'S POV:
Where is she? Her Charizard had roared a while ago, and Arcanine went after her. But where was Leaf? I looked around suspiciously, hoping to catch a glimpse of her. Then I heard a twig snap and I instantly turned around and fired an ice beam that way with my hands. I walked over to the bush that I had hit and saw…
Nothing. But before I could turn back around to continue searching I was tackled to the ground. Cracking my eyes open, I saw Leaf looking down at me. She had my wrists in one hand above my head, her other arm pressed against my throat, all while she straddled my hips with hers.
"You've been caught." She whispers in my ear.
"If I had known it would be in such a promising position I don't mind. Even though I'm rather on top." (Sorry Gary, there had to be one perv in there, and Drew was already arrogant. And come on, you imagine Paul being a perv? Or Ash?!) She instantly let go of me, blushing, just when Arcanine came out of the bushes. He looked sad.
"It doesn't matter pal. You did great, don't forget we were up against hard-core players." I then looked back at Leaf who was staring at me like she couldn't believe what she was seeing. "You done staring? I know I'm good looking but…"
"Oh shut it, let's just get back."
DAWN'S POV:
This will be so much fun! I love playing this game and now there are even more players! Zorua- who had just transformed into a Noctowl- was circling above me to try and locate Paul, my opponent. After a few minutes, she came back down, chirping happily.
"So you found him?" she nods. "That's so good of you!"
She looked at me with a look that clearly says "Why are you surprised?" before turning into a Rapidash and beckoning me to hop on. We quickly made our way deeper into the woods. When we stopped I turned to Zorua:
"Zorua, can you create an illusion so his Honchkrow doesn't see a thing?" I asked while pointing at said pokemon.
"Zorua zorua zar."
"Thanks girl!"
I turned back where Paul was looking. Mmmmmmmm… Maybe I'll have some fun first?
PAUL'S POV:
I knew she was around, but were? I clearly heard her humming a song and dancing around just outside my line of vision, and no matter how hard I called for Honchkrow, it doesn't react, he just keeps flying like nothing's wrong! I was quickly pulled out of my thoughts however by Troublesome, who was standing behind me to whisper in my ear:
"Scared much?"
But before me or my shadows could grab her, she was gone again. I was sensing the area with my shadow abilities, but she just moved to much too fast for me to grab here. How fast can you be?
"That is a beautiful tie isn't it?"
I glanced down at my chest to say that I was indeed, wearing a tie. A. Pink. Tie.
"How did you d-" I start to ask but before I finish my sentence, I am shoved against a tree.
"What a sweet little birdie I've caught myself today."
Looking over my shoulder, I saw Troublesome holding me against the tree, with cat-like eyes.
"How…" Then it hits me. "You used your powers to transform my clothes because you knew a tie would surprise me." I groan and glare at her. She brushes it off with a bright smile.
"Yep! And it worked wonders! Zorua, you can stop the illusion now."
An illusion! That explains why Honchkrow didn't hear me. Zorua just snickers at expense.
"Two more and you'll be wearing a Pachirisu costume at school tomorrow!" she happily said.
WHAT! A Pachirisu costume? The thought alone made me sick.
"Who else has been caught?"
"Gary"
"And you know how?"
"I just know." She said with a smile, and then she started laughing, as if it was some sort of inside joke.
MISTY'S POV:
I was flying on top of Togekiss when I got word from the others.
"Just 2 more!"
So that leaves Drew and off-course Ash. While Togekiss was looking for them, I came up with a strategy. I needed to make sure I wouldn't get hit with his attacks, being part water and electricity usually don't work out that well. Last time I was out for a week. Looking down at Togekiss, whom I had raised from a little Togepi, I came up with the strategy. And a good one too. I saw Ash heading towards a cave. I smiled. Perfect, this makes everything a whole lot easier.
ASH'S POV:
I was walking with Pikachu, who was sitting on my shoulder as usual. I saw a cave and we headed towards it, when we arrived I noticed multiple other electric pokemon like Pikachu. Joltiks, Magnemite's, and various others. Hmmmm… then it's probably a cave that conducts electricity, or bounces it right back.
"You sure you saw her go this way bud?"
"Pika!" he shouted.
"Okay, okay. Just checking. But then where is she?"
We both look around, clueless. Until I felt something touch my neck. I whip around and am greeted with a cave wall. Then I felt it again, on my shoulder this time. I turned around, and saw… another cave wall.
"What in the name of Mew…"
This kept going for at least 10 minutes, until I came –as expected- annoyed. I looked at my pokemon, who was just as confused as me.
"Okay Pikachu! Thunderbolt the moment you see or hear something move, is that okay buddy?"
"Pika!" the electric mouse pokemon said with an affirming nod. After 2 more minutes of being poked and turning around, Pikachu unleashed a massive Thunderbolt. One problem: it kinda slipped my mind that the cave walls conducted electricity. The result? I was the only one that got hit. I was completely back and worst of all, I had an affro. I was dazed for a few seconds, but then I heard laughing, that kept getting louder. But the weird thing was that it came out of the wall. I was kinda thinking about ghosts or something, but then Misty fell out of the wall. I mean literally, out of the wall! And she just kept laughing.
"That was hilarious! Absolutely hilarious!" and to my huge embarrassment, I saw that Pikachu as well was rolling on the floor, laughing hysterically.
"How did you do that? Are you a ghost or something?" I asked dumbfounded.
"If I could stop laughing, I so would've wacked you with my mallet. I used my phasing, duh!"
"Oh right, you can phase stuff, I forgot."
"Yep!"
"But you forgot something too!"
"And what might that be?"
"Phasing doesn't work against electric attacks!"
She stopped laughing and gave me a smile. A sinister one. "I didn't forget at all, but did you forget that earth conducts electricity?"
I look down at the ground, and to my surprise, I was knee-high in the ground. I groaned.
"Well Ash, looks like you've been caught, oh great pokemon master."
I grinned. "Sure Mist, it was a fun game after all." I saw her smile turn soft. "You should smile more like that! You have a pretty smile." I say, not really paying attention.
"Eh thanks Ash, I'll keep it in mind."
"So you think you can let me go now?"
"I'm not sure, you could try to hit me for payback." She mutters.
"I won't trust me! You know you can trust me right?"
Her smile stayed, but it seemed a bit forced, she did however release me from her grip and we both walked back to the clear spot while Pikachu was riding on top of Togekiss. The conversation was light, but as dense as I may be at times, I did notice that she hadn't answered my question.
DREW'S POV:
Where is she? I flew around on top of Flygon. Even if she's invisible, I should be able to sense her using my powers. I so wanted payback, even if the others didn't notice. I was not exactly pleased by getting beaten twice in a row. While I was focusing I noticed an eerie presence, as if there were 2 things connecting with each other. But it vanished so quickly that I couldn't pinpoint the location. And then, completely out of nowhere, I was knocked off Flygon. We weren't flying high, but still. I noticed a presence, and, shutting my eyes, I focused entirely on my supernatural "vision". She was extremely bright. Brighter than any soul I had ever seen, but on the edges, she was darker, like there was some sort of protective barrier around her bright soul.
Before I could dig deeper however, I barely managed to avoid a kick. I have to admit, she was pretty damn quick. And agile. And strong. And funny. And gorgeous and wait! What!? Wait a minute! Gorgeous? Funny? What is wrong with me? My hesitation had earned me another blow, and like our previous battle, she didn't hold back. Above us, Flygon and Altaria were fighting too, launching attacks at each other.
I ran, trying to find a place where I could set up a trap, I needed some kind of advantage. She followed me –of course- not paying attention to where I was going. After a short sprint, we arrived in a field full of white roses. (I know they don't grow in fields but just bear with me for a second) I didn't pay them any attention, but after a few meters in the field, May just stopped –to my great confusion- and became visible again. Then she slowly backed away, careful not to touch any rose. Her face unreadable.
"May?" I asked
She ignored me, and just kept backing away. When she reached the edge of the field, she accidently got scratched by a thorn. And then all of a sudden, I was knocked back by a wave of emotions. I got up and located the source of the emotion. It was May.
MAY'S POV:
"Okay, okay, get it together. Just back away calmly, there just flowers, they can't hurt you. Just get out of here. Slowly." I thought. I didn't even pay attention to Drew's question of confused expression. I didn't think of the game, or the bet. Or winning, or anything. I reached the end and sighed. "I made it!" I thought. Then, I got scratched by a thorn. And everything went black.
My eyes were still open, but I didn't see a thing. Instead, my vision became blurred with memories, the ones I always suppressed.
I got kicked. I got hit. I got slapped. I coughed up blood. And worst of all, I listened. Listened to how I was made fun of, scolded, and betrayed. I clearly heard that detested voice, with amusement barely masked. He loved the power he had over me.
"So you thought you could run away you mut, is that how you thank me for taking me in?"
"You didn't take me in!" I sob. "You locked me up! But I didn't try to escape, I really didn't! I swear!"
He kicks me in my stomach, red eyes blazing with anger. "You did you ungrateful bitch, but don't worry, I'll make sure you won't ever even think about getting away May."
He laughs, looking down at my beat-up body.
"…May…"
"May"
"MAY!"
I opened my sapphire orbs, to see Drew's emerald ones looking at me with concern. I grab him in a hug, shocking him and myself in the process.
"Don't do anything, just… just let me stay like this for a little while. Please?" I beg
He nods and hugs me back "O-okay." he breathes.
We sat like that for a little while, me sobbing, and he keeps muttering soothing words.
When I regain control my emotions, I pull my face back the way it's supposed to be, no emotions visible and then I let go of him.
"Sorry about that." My voice still sounding a bit muffled.
"May,… What happened? You just snapped or something when you got scratched. You seemed afraid of that flower somehow. And you just trashed around, yelling." I could tell he chose his words carefully.
"It doesn't matter, it's nothing." I looked away and noticed that Altaria was looking at me worriedly.
"It's okay Altaria, just, a little daydream, nothing to be worried about."
Then Arthur jumped out of his pokebal. He examined me worriedly, making sure if I was alright.
"It's okay Arthur, nothing wrong."
He didn't believe me, like Altaria, like Drew. Arthur turned to the field of roses, preparing a flamethrower.
"No!" I said. "Don't burn them! It's not their fault, I just couldn't control it. Besides, Dawn would have Piplup attack you if you did." He snorts, but stops nothing less.
"Thanks for caring about me you guys, return."
Then I turned back to Drew, who had remained silent during my entire conversation with my pokemon. He looked angry and a little worried. Wait worried?
"What's wrong, and don't say nothing because based on the fact that you were crying like 2 seconds ago, there is something."
"I'm just not that good with white roses, that's all." He tried to ask further, but I didn't give any more info.
"You know Airhead." My head snapped back to glare at him, and I saw he was smirking. Again.
"I did catch you in case you didn't notice."
My thoughts turned blank, and then I try to find a proper excuse. I found none. Based on the fact that his smirk became even bigger, he noticed. This only added fuel to the fire.
"I give you a minute."
His brow furrowed in confusion.
"59, 58, 57"
He set of as soon as he realized I was being serious.
"3, 2, 1."
DAWN'S POV:
We were all waiting for May and Drew to return to the open spot, since all the others were back already. I sat on the ground giggling happily for 2 reasons: I wasn't alone in the forest anymore. And Leaf and Gary's bickering was just so cute! Ash was flying on Togekiss, while Misty was playing with Pikachu.
"Why are you so happy?"
I look up at Paul, but he didn't look back. He was examining the forest.
"Because I like being around other people." That's true, even that little time alone in the forest made me want to panic. I was so lucky Zorua was there. Said pokemon was playing with the other pokemon, joined by my Pachirisu, my Piplup, and Leaf's Riolu.
"Hmm" Paul's "response" pulled my out of my thoughts.
"Why do you ask?"
"Just forget it Troublesome."
"Dawn, not Troublesome. It's really not that hard you emo! D-A-W-N!" this guy was really starting to get me angry.
Drew appeared with a bewildered look in his eyes, but then he was tackled to the ground by May, who smirked.
"I said I'd only give you a minute." She hissed in his ear.
Dew just mumbled.
"Sorry Grasshead, what was that?"
"Get off!"
"Only if you say please!"
"What!?"
"Please."
"P-plea-se." Drew grumbled through clenched teeth.
"Sorry, I didn't quite catch that Mister Hayden."
"Please!"
May just laughed and got up.
"You still lost though." Was Drew's revenge.
"What?", I screeched, "You lost?! How? You're a total boss at this game."
"We came across some roses." May muttered, the pain visible in her eyes. She had had another flashback.
"Ow." All the girls nodded in understanding.
"That explains everything." Misty mused.
"That explains nothing!" Ash said dumbfounded, and judge by the looks on the faces of the other boys, the agreed with him.
"It does to us." Leaf shot back.
"Either way, we still one the bet." Drew said with a huge smirk.
I shot a glance at May, and saw she was ready to lunge. Obviously to kill him. I quickly intercepted and held her.
"Just let me burn his hair, only his hair!" she pleaded.
"No May", we all answered in unison.
"Fine!"
"So now we can all for a favor?" Ash asked.
"Yes Ash, one favor each." I answered.
"Any favor?" Gary asked while looking a Leaf from the corner of his eyes. Said girl rolled her eyes in response.
"Not like that you blasted perv."
Then it started raining.
"Ugh, we should head home girls." I said.
"You're right, we still have other things to do." May answered.
"Still need to make your history homework? Figures." The green-haired boy said before flicking his bangs.
"As a matter of fact, I already finished it, I was talking about something else."
"Who would have guessed?" he mocked.
"Now don't start with me Grasshead, or I'll have to tell all your fangirls how you screamed like a girl when I knocked you of your Flygon."
We all doubled over laughing (including the boys) and Drew's cheeks started to turn a bright red.
"Well boys, thanks for playing with us. And since we won't be able to see you in a pokemon costume tomorrow, I guess we'll just have to do this." I snapped while snapping my fingers before the boys could retort. In an instant they were all dressed like a pokemon. Ash was dressed like a Togepi, Drew like a Torchic, Gary like a Ralts and- the best for last- Paul in a Pachirisu costume. (Just imagine the look on Paul's face.) The laughing quickly subsided.
"Happy trip home boys!" And then we swiftly made our exit, snickering at the boy's expression.
"Revenge, sweet revenge. Thanks Dawn!"
"It's nothing May."
LEAF'S POV:
After we came home, we trained with our weapons for a while before heading to bed. I used my green daggers, they both had an emerald at the hold. Dawn had her pink whip with diamonds at the hold. May had a red bow with ruby's and blue arrows. Misty used her blue spear with a sapphire hold. We were pretty good, at least, that's what we thought when we looked at our practice dummies.
THE NEXT MORNING: STILL LEAF'S POV:
Urgh! These fangirls are so annoying! I had received 5 death threats in the last hour! Can I help it that Oak was flirting with me yesterday? I hid my face further in my book, I was rereading Harry Potter since my battle was already over. It was second period, I laughed as I thought at first period. To say the boys were mad was an understatement. Oh well, it was worth it! I ignored the teacher for the next two periods. By the time it was lunch, I finished my book. We made our way to the cafeteria and looked around for a few seconds in the hopes of finding a table without fangirls or drooling boys. So far? No good.
Then I heard someone call my name. I turned around to see Steph calling waving at me. When we reached her, she asked us:
"Wanna sit with us you guys?"
"We'd love too! Guys, this is Steph and…" I trailed of.
"Mathilde" May finished for me. When she saw me look, she brushed it off. "We met during Music class."
"True story." The Mathilde-girl said. "And these are my friends: Julie, Annabeth, Lissa, Axelle and of course our personal idiot: Benjamin."
"Hey! I'm not an idiot!" said boy protested.
"Sure you aren't." that comment came from Julie.
Benjamin turned to us: "Are you those girls who beat the fangirls during P.E. yesterday?" we all nodded. "Arceus bless you girls!"
"See? Not an idiot at all." Julie again.
"What's up with these fangirls anyway?" Misty asked.
"Well, Katie is crazy about Drew, the girl with her immense strength is Mellisa, she's nuts about Ash, Erica claims Paul is hers and Diana likes Gary. Almost every other girl is nuts about them as well, but they certainly hold the ropes in the whole fangirl-phenomena." Benjamin explained.
"And they just won't leave us alone!" Annabeth explained.
Before anyone could answer, another voice sounded from behind us.
"Mind if we join you?"
"Crap" Misty said.
I turned around, hoping I was mistaking. But -as usual- I wasn't. There Paul, Ash, Gary and Drew stood. And they didn't look very pleased.
"Oops."
And I'm done! That took WAAAAY too long. I'm really sorry you guys, but I had to fight for the computer and I was on a camp for a whole week. I'm really just glad that this chapter is finished, with 5.000 words no less. I'll try to update sooner next time, but it may not be as long as this chapter. Please Review! Thanks for reading this story people!
Not all those who wonder are lost.
