Hi everyone! sorry it's been so long since i updated a chapter and i'm sorry for keeping you all anxious for whats to come, so i won't make you wait any longer, enjoy!

(Seventh Grade, Dawns POV)

"Did you really miss me?"

"yeah, of course i did"

"So did i".

Underneath the schools largest tree were the groups two love birds, although they refused to acknowledge the world that they were a couple, they already were. May and Drew had the whole romantic scenario down perfectly, everyday at the beginning of school when the two would see each other, May would drop her backpack and run towards Drew who waited with open arms, although it was really cheesy i always found it to be super cute, then when she jumped into his arms he would hold her tightly and spin her around, the fact that they made it seem like they haven't seen each other in ages is what makes the whole thing adorable.

As far as i know, the two have been this close ever since Drew's family moved next door to May's and thus making them neighbors just a few years ago. Both their moms would make them have play dates and take them everywhere together, now that i think about it, it seems as if the two were contracted to be together since they were little, how cute!

anyways, here at school the two are always known as the worlds most lovable couple, every other day Drew would bring May roses and she would squeal with excitement as if it was the first time she had received one.

What i would give for something like that…*sighs*

So here we are, the eight of us, we made it through our first year of junior high and are now in the seventh grade, how exciting, but now we're just here, eating our lunch at what is considered to be the coolest lunch spot, underneath the large blossom tree with a view of the school's pond habiting little ducklings and beautiful swannas as well as a lot of beautiful water pokemon. In the middle of the pond was a beautiful marble fountain shaped like a Milotic, it was the perfect view.

May sitting against the tree with Drew beside her as she leaned her head on his shoulder as she fed him and he fed her.

Misty was trying to prevent Ash from creating any type of mess from the food on our spot.

"Look! you just dropped a chunk of your chili on the grass!"

"oops! sorry Mist!"

Haha, typical them, i swear Misty and Ash always know how to make me laugh with their crazy relationship. Let's see, ah yes! and then there is Leaf and Gary, who were just a few inches away from Drew and May, Gary was laying on the grass as leaf kneeled beside him placing little flowers over his head and forming a flower crown.

Then of course there is me and Paul, my relationship with Paul was the best, although many people were afraid of him i definitely wasn't, he's my best friend and i understood him.

He was laying on the ground with one arm behind his head for cushion, he kept staring at the sky, i laid beside him and then turned to my side to face him, his eyes shifted down at me and then he turned on his side to come face to face with me.

"yes"? he asked in his usual cold voice, i was used to it already so i wasn't bothered by it.

"Paul…...why don't you ever invite me to your house?" I looked at the grass and then traced my finger in circles around it, i looked up and straight into his eyes, he seemed to tense up.

I frowned when he responded with "Why don't you ever invite me to yours?"

I wish i could tell him why, but i…..i just can't.

"My parent's don't allow me to bring anybody to the house, there always busy and never around so i have to follow their rules."

"Then it's the same." he closed his eyes.

I began shouting, "What? no fair, you can't just say that, i for one think that's a lie, is your house dirty or something? i don't care if it is."

"It's not because of that, just drop it….please." he never says please…...it must be something really serious then.

I sighed, then closed my eyes, "Fine."

"C'mon, i'm sorry if i sounded mean, i just don't want to talk about it anymore." i kept my eyes closed but nodded.

"It's ok."

I felt him start to get up, i turned on my back and opened my eyes only to see him looking down at me with only the smallest and barely noticeable grin, he held his hand towards me and i took it letting him pick me up off the ground.

"Ice cream? I'll buy." i stared at him, and i couldn't stand even being mad at him for the slightest, sometimes he can be so stubborn but he has his reasons…... just like me.

I smiled, then nodded, "Ok." i held his hands and we had that moment like we always do, the moment where we just stare at each other and it just feels…...right.

That is until…..our moment was interrupted by sudden disturbance.

Ash had sprung up like a spoink on crack, "Woohoo! Paul's buying ice cream!"

"Gare! wake up! Ice cream! Paul's buying!" the snoring bum on the floor was immediately woken up by Ash's foot making contact with his rib.

"Ow! what the….wait…..did you say ice cream?!" i giggled, i guess ice cream can do many things.

I looked at Paul and could tell he was getting even more irritated.

"Wee! Yay! Ice cream and i don't have to pay for it!" May was already drooling for that triple fudge sundae she always gets, Drew face palmed.

"You never pay for your ice cream because i always do it." he sighed.

"And that's why you're the best!" she kissed his cheek and he seemed to have forgotten everything, see? May and Drew totally belong.

Leaf picked herself up off the floor dusting the grass off her skirt, "I want pistachio and mint n' chip."

"I want a sex on the beach." Gary winked at Leaf, i wanted to punch him, not for being a perv but for what he just said.

"Ow!" HA! too late, looks like Leaf read my mind.

"That's a drink you idiot! and you're nowhere near close to the legal drinking age!"

"I was kidding! and i know it's a drink! i just always hear my gramps ordering that same thing everytime he brings guests to the bar room."

hmmm...yeah, not even going to go there.

"Gary you realize that…." Paul had started but just looked at Gary's confused expression so he shook his head instead, "...nevermind."

"Hey Paul….can i order a triple scoop on a waffle cone?" Ash had already started dreaming about it.

"If you're going to pay for it then yeah." Ash frowned.

"I'll pay for your ice cream Ash, besides, you bought me a smoothie last time when we got lunch."

"Aw! thanks Mist!" he hugged her tightly, i grinned ever so evilly when i saw her face turn a flashing hot red, she mouthed *Don't even think about it*

"So are we going to go get ice cream or what?" i felt his hand squeezing mines.

"Let's go, maybe the ice cream will cool you down." i giggled as he rolled his eyes.

*Present Dawn's POV*

"Paul….what flavor of ice cream are you going to get?"

"The only one i ever get, dummy."

"Psh...meanie, so that means you're getting vanilla, right?"

"Yeah, and i'm guessing you're going for chocolate of course."

"You know me too well."

That's….me and Paul, in the seventh grade…..we looked so happy.

Why….why am i watching this? how can i be watching this?

I touched my cheek and looked down at my fingers, they were wet…..i didn't realize i was crying until i watched Paul and me hold hands, back then….we were so close, our bond was unbreakable, but i guess everything comes to an end.

I kept feeling my tears stroll down my cheeks, i hated being here, wherever this was, watching these memories hurted me so much inside, my heart is aching and i can't stand watching the past….the past in which we were all so happy together, May, Leaf, Misty, Gary, Drew, Ash, Me, and Paul were like our own family, we took care of each other and were there when we needed support for the other.

"…..what…... happened to us?"

*Wake up*

"What?" i looked around and everything was starting to fade, there was a crowd of voices going back and forth, ugh, what's going on?!

*Rise and shine sleeping beauty*

"Wha…."

(Third person POV)

She was mumbling in her sleep, her head was turning back and forth slowly as she continuously mumbled "no."

"I said wake up my little beauty." his lips were just inches away from her ear, her eyes had begun to flutter open, the bright light made them squint before they got adjusted to it.

"Wh….where am…..i?" her voice was weakly sounded out, she was exhausted from her energy being drawn out.

When her eyes came to be, she saw what looked to be a warehouse, stacks of cargo boxes were set up everywhere, large chains with hooks were hanging from the ceilings but there was a massive collection of expensive looking motor bikes and cars aligned perfectly.

She then noticed the group of men surrounding her, they didn't seem to be old at all, but rather the same age or maybe a year or two older than her.

They were all talking amongst themselves, surrounding her in a circle, she just kept her eyes wide open, letting the bright rays of light shrink her pupil, the look on her face was blank, no expression whatsoever.

As the talking kept going one of the males quickly looked down only to see the blanked face bluenette wide awake, he nudged the male to his right and signaled with his chin slightly to look down at the blue haired girl.

"Yo! Jun she's awake!"

The circle had opened up allowing another male to come in, a tiny devious smirk was riding along his lips, he wasn't ugly, in fact he was surprisingly good looking, he had really sunny bright blonde hair that was combed upwards in the shape of tauro's horns, his eyes were amber colored with a bit of a sunset orange tone into it.

Automatically when she took a full look at him she could tell he was behind all this, his white leather jacket had chains and straps wrapped around the sleeves, a black scarf rested loosely around his neck while a black shirt resided under, his pants were also white and had chains suspending from the sides with buckles spiraling down the legs, and his boots were just plain leather black, plain, but intimidating, they looked capable of smashing anything into pieces.

He looked down at her then knelt by her side, "Hm…..very cute".

She turned her head to the side now staring at him, "Who are you?"

He held in a chuckle, "Jun….I'm the leader of the Giratina's".

He flinched from her shocked filled gasp, the speed in which she sat up and quickly scooted back from the blonde was quick, her eyes were now filled with fear.

"The giratina's? As in the gang that constantly terrorizes the city?"

He stifled yet another laugh, "Heh, a fan?"

She crossed her arms worriedly, "Not in the least…."

"A shame, but then again i shouldn't be surprised…" He got back up as did she.

"Why is that?"

"You're the leader of the Rayquayza's girl ".

She choked out of nowhere, "Excuse me?"

"C'mon, don't act like we don't know, you're clearly with the enemy".

"The Giratina's are terrible but the Rayquayza's are worser, i wouldn't date a criminal ever in my life".

He laughed, but it wasn't the happy laugh it was more like a gruntled laugh, " Do you think we're stupid?"

"No…..and i'm not with them".

He turned his back to her, "Tie her up to the chair next to that punk."

They tightly gripped her arms and lifted her feet off the ground carrying her away.

"Hey! get your hands off me! Help!" she flailed her legs widely but it was pointless.

"No point in yelling in here cutie, this entire warehouse stretches as far as…not sure…... but it's really big so nobodies even going to be able to hear you".

When they finally brought her inside a room in the back, she caught sight of the boy sitting, well he was tied up to say the least, to a chair and beaten badly, his head was slumped down allowing his bangs to shield part of his face.

She was trembling now, her face was completely fear stricken when she saw the little puddle of blood forming under the boys seat just up towards his head.

One of the males had brought a second chair and placed it back to back with the other hostages chair, they forced her to sit and tied her with tape and then a rope, she didn't cry, she didn't scream, but she was scared to death.

One of the boys had gently grabbed a lock of her hair and lightly twirled it in his finger, he had short blue hair and chilling cobalt eyes, he was lightly toned which made his appearance mysteriously dark yet attractive.

He grinned, however she didn't bother turning to look at him, instead she just kept her eyes straight ahead, he then whispered to her "I don't think you're cute, i think you're gorgeous, the names Lucas".

"Th-thank …...you". her voice was shrill and shaky.

"Don't be scared, Jun wouldn't hurt a girl let alone a beauty such as yourself, and even if he did, i wouldn't let him".

He snapped his fingers commanding the other two members to leave the room.

"Why?"

"I don't know, anyways…...i'll be back later". he slid his finger under her chin tilting it up to face him, he smirked down at her but she closed her eyes, avoiding to show her tear filled eyes.

Once the door closed she had released a series of rapid deep breaths filled with anxiety that was building at it's peak, tears were starting to stream down again.

"Be strong Dawn….be strong….." She kept chanting to herself over and over.

The room quickly became silent again, except for the constant sounds of blood plopping down onto the growing crimson puddle.

"Um…..hello?" there was no response

"I don't know who you are….but are you dead?"

There was a short silence but then a response came out, "No…."

She sighed in relief, "Are you hurt badly?"

His voice was so shaky and weak, "I've had worse".

"We need to get out of here…..what's your name?"

"Silver…"

"Why are you here?" She tried freeing herself from the tape around her wrists but it was too strong.

She grunted from the hard force of trying to break free from it and then sighed in defeat, "Ok...Silver…..Why are you here?"

"What do you think?" he had a snarky tone behind the remark.

"That's why i'm asking". she rolled her eyes.

"Same reason as you, I'm from the Rayquayza's".

She gasped and then squeaked in shock, "what?! A criminal?! Oh man oh man….how did i get mixed up into this".

"Don't play dumb girlie, you're part of us too".

"I'm not! why does everyone keep saying that?! I've never and hope i never do meet someone from your gang….you don't count".

"Thanks…."

"My point is, why the hell is everyone assuming i'm part of your gang?"

"Beats the hell out of me, but if you aren't then they must have seen you associating with someone who is".

Her eyes shot open, "But…..who?"

"Again….beats the hell out of me".

"Silver…"

"What".

"What are they going to do with us?"

(With Paul)

He drove into the warehouse where two men awaited on either side of the garage door, once he entered they pulled the metal screen down, the lights flickered on one by one, the scenery was similar to that of the Giratina's warehouse, luxurious cars and motorbikes were aligned all around, metal shipment cargo boxes were stacked to the ceiling, while rusty hooks were swinging slowly from the ceiling.

A group of men were bundled up in a group, they turned when they saw the purple headed male riding up, they opened up the crowd revealing an unfamiliar male to him.

He started making his way to the rival member, he was beaten to a pulp, he looked weak and was trembling, his right eye was swollen and colored black and purple.

His lip was busted, he had marked bruises all around his face and body, his jacket was shredded on the floor while his shirt was hanging by threads.

He stopped midway into the crowd, he pulled off his gloves handing them to somebody on his right, another person from his left handed him a new pair of gloves, once he placed them on another handed him a pair of brass knuckles which he placed over his gloved hands.

The smirks on each of their faces had begun working into the beaten males nerves. The whispers only made it worse.

"He's a dead man".

"when he changes the gloves and puts on his brass knuckles, you know he means business".

"He's going to get it now".

He kept tightening and then loosening his fists as he continued walking over to the male, without even a word or stopping he brought his fist down making a crushing blow to the boys face, blood spurted out leaving tiny droplets of red trailing on the concrete.

"Where's your leader?" He grabbed a cloth from one of the members and began cleaning the blood from his gloves and brass.

The guy's breath was shortening, he was slumping forward but was being held up by two men holding his arms up, "I-I…..Don't know….." he whispered weakly and then spat blood out as he coughed.

"That's not what i want". he plowed his fist once again towards the weakened males face, more blood had spilled out, including a tooth which had landed next to someone's boot.

He cried out, both in pain, fear, and rage, "Please! I don't know!" the scene was too gruesome, his entire mouth, chin and chest were coated with crimson, his cheeks were swollen and there were several broken pieces of teeth scattered around the floor now.

"If you know what's best for you then you'll tell me where the warehouse is, i have my best man in there and believe me if we find him dead, you'll be the next one joining him in a casket".

He was curled up into a fetal position, the way he trembled now was a sad sight but none of them cared, he cleaned his gloves and brass once more from the blood before removing them, this time they handed him a switch blade.

"If the brass isn't going to make you talk then maybe the blade will". he clicked the switch and up popped a gleaming silver blade, it reflected on the boy's eyes, he looked at it as if his life was flashing before his eyes.

"So what will it be?"
