The Sacred Forest. NOTE: Please don't go hard on me because of the mistakes you will find. English isn't my native language, and since i'm only thirteen it's very hard to make a story in correct English. What happened last time... 'Please James be allright...' I looked up and was praying while is was running.'Please, let him be allright. I haven't asked you for much yet and i never believed in you, but this is a good time to proof that you do exist!' Ai and i were running toward the screaming, but when we arrived... CHAPTER 4: REUNITED. Jessie's P.O.V. 'It's gone...' I was shocked, how could a enormous monster just disappear in the middle of nowhere? Ai was looking around, trying to find something that could lead us back to the gigantic Pokémon. And James. I wanted to look up to watch the stars or sun. But all i was seeying was a big roof of leafs, i was unable to figure out if it was either day or night.' Hé Jess...' Ai pointed her index-finger at a pudle of...well i couldn't see what it was, but it was disgusting.' I think i've got something here.' I walked over to Ai, to see the puddle of, greenish, smelly jelly. Eww, it was so-yech!' I'm going to put some of this in a indestructable-heavy-but-unbreakable-plastic-coffecup, let's see.' Ai was trying to put some of the slime in her coffeecup-thingy. She started to do some tests with the stuff, to make sure if it actually was from the Pokémon giant. She took some notes and started to tell me the results.' Well, i figured out that it's not poison and it isn't radio---' Just when she was about to finish her sentence we were teleported, don't ask me where or how, to some spooky island. I landed on my head, i wasn't hurt tho, when Ai was laughing nervously.' I guess i don't have to finish my line...' She looked around.' Where are we? This looks just like that island that i've seen in a movie, what was it called again...' How could she talk about movies! ' Don't say it, i know it! It had something to do with monkeys, or were they mutants... It started with a M.' I couldn't stand it! She was driving me nuts!' CUT IT OUT! WE'RE STUCK ON AN ISLAND IN...HELL, WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE WE ARE! AND ALL YOU TALK ABOUT ARE THOSE STUPID MOVIES...' I realized that i just have gone too far, Ai would probaly get mad at me, or even worse. She would start to cry.' I'm sorry, i...' But suprisingly she was just smiling, just smiling like she didn't care about what i just yelled at her.' I know how you're feeling.' She...knows how i'm feeling?' I know you miss James...' I wanted to tell her that she wasn't right, but like she knew what was about to come, she just continued her story.' I know how it is to miss someone you love.' She was telling me that i loved James, and i knew that. But somehow i just couldn't let myself love him, i know i was weak. I know i was wrong denying my love. But not everybody has to know about it! ' I do not love James! Why don't you just get it, we're just friends.' ---SMACK--- I felt that my cheek was burning. Ai just slapped me in the face. My hands reached up to the spot where she hit me, to make sure that i wasn't bleeding. ' When are you going to stop telling that you don't love James, i know you do!' I...she... How? She has never met him, how can she know...' That you love James?' Is it me or did she just finish my thoughts? Is she reading my mind or something? ' Yes Jessie, i can read your mind. I had that ability since i was just a little child. When i grew older i learned to control my powers and to only use it for the cause of the good. For love and friendship.' She knew everything... I couldn't help it, but i stood up, turned around and i started to run. Running to God knows where, i was runnig away from the reality that was surrounding me... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* James' P.O.V. It's been hours since the monster took me to this strange place. It was a palace or something. I heard the sound of keys in the darkness, someone was coming.' Hello? Help me, i've done nothing wrong!' Yeah, well... Not today, yet. ' I want my lawyer. I want my mommy!'.' So, you're still a crybaby. You haven't chanced a bit since the last time i saw you.' He knows me? Well i don't remember him. 'Who are you?' He unlocked the door of the dungeon that i was locked in and told me.' As soon as we get out of this mess, i'll tell you who i am. For now just follow me. And be quiet.' I had no choice but to follow , we climbed stairs that seemed endless, we walked trough long halls trying not to get caught by the guards untill we reached the roof. Sunlight. Real sunlight. Even though the sky was filled with dark clouds, i could see the ligth of the sun. I turned back to that guy who says he knows me.' Now, can you tell me who you are?' He looked up to the sky and told me about himself.' Back when you were just a little boy, you went to the Pokémon-tech school. You had no friends becide the red haired girl and me.' He...was my friend? I-i don't remember.' I was in different class, one for the...smarter students...' He looked down, then at me.' It's me James, Koru!' Of course, how could i forget him, he and Jessie always helped me out when i was in trouble.' I'm sorry, i first didn't reconize you. You've chanced a lot.'I said. He had a wide grin on his face and told me. ' You haven't chanced a bit! You're still a whiner, but that's okay.'.' Are you insulting me? I'm not a whiner!' I started to cry, until i realized how stupid i must have looked. ' Okay, so i am a whiner...' I looked around and realized what a great view this place had, we were on the top of one of the towers of the palace. I could see the whole...'ISLAND?!' I yelled out.' WE'RE ON AN ISLAND?!'.'Well, yeah.' That's why haven't seen this before in the forest, 'cause we're not longer in the forest. Just my luck, first lost in a forest and i'm stuck on an island from wich i don't even know the name. I sighed and looked down the tower to see if there was something that help us getting of this island. Let's see, a tree...nope. A broken computer...nope. A girl with dark-blonde hair standing and one with red hair running...nope...Wait a second! I looked down again, to see what i was looking for the whole time!Jessica! 'Look!' I jumped in exitement. ' It's Jessie and... someone else!' Koru looked in the direction that i pointed, and his face looked like it was on fire.' It's Ai!' - FLASH - All of a sudden we were teleported somewhere else, i looked back to see the palace that we were trapped in a few seconds ago.' Where are we?' I asked Koru, and he simply said.' Here.' I bet you all know that i'm not satisfied with an answer like that.' Where is here? And how did we get here?'.' I teleported us to here, the beach.' He teleported us? How? Why...' Why didn't you do that before!?' Of course he had an explanaition that was logic.' I can only teleport when i'm outside, only on the roof it was possible.' I also wanted to ask how, but we heard someone call from behind.'Hey, wait!' It was the woman that i saw when i was on the roof. She was panting, and she looked definetly tired.' Jessie is...' I grabbed her by her shoulders and shook her wwwwwaaaayyyyy to hard. ' What's wrong with her? What have you done to her!' When she recovered, she looked at me, almost like she was scanning me or something.' You must be James, right?' How did she know.' Yes, i'm James, and you are?'.' I'm Ai, Jessie told me about you.' Jessie told her about me, probably about how big crybaby i am... When i looked up from the ground i noticed that Ai has moved to Koru.' I missed you so much...' Tears came in Ai's eyes when she hugged Koru.' I thought that i lost you forever...' Koru looked down at Ai, who was just a bit smaller than he was. ' I'm here...' I wished that Jessie and i could also hug like that. Of course we hug, but i bet she doesn't enjoy it as much as i do. Ai broke the hug and turned to me again, this time she looked very serious.' Now we have to follow Jessie, she's heading straight to the palace of the monster.' What! That horrible monster that almost ate me! And now Jessie is heading straight toward him, i got the feeling that isn't right!' Okay.' I nodded and we ran to the direction where Jessie headed. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Jessie's P.O.V. I sat here on a rock just feeling weak. No one was ever supposed to know about my love for James, only i. I looked up the sky and it started to rain, i was expecting that for a long time ago since the sky has been covered in dark rain clouds since i arrived here. I was feeling miserable, if she tells James about all this he will never respect me. And in the worst case he's not my friend anymore, because of my stupid feelings! I wanted to shout that i don't love him, and still i wanted to tell him that i love him... Man this is really driving me crazy! The sound of the falling rain was the only, it was so quiet. Just when i was thinking that, i heard some voices.' Jessie!' They sounded far away, but they were coming my way.' Jessie, where are you?' I didn't reconize the voices, they all had no own sound, only words.' Jessica, come on! Where are you?' I reconized that voice all right, it was definetly James. I was sure of it! Even though my mind told me to hide, my heart took control. For once in a lifetime.' Over here! James!' I was waving so much that if i had to wave any longer my arms would have dropped on the ground. But there they were. James, Ai and... a man that looked about the same age as Ai. ' Jessie!' James was slowly walking toward me, he looked like he was about to cry. After a few seconds that seemed hours to me, he was standing in front of me. He moved closer to me. It looked like he was about to hug me. I really wanted to hug him, but somehow i ended up slapping him in the face. ' Auch...' I had hurt hime once again, but this time i could see it was different from all the other times. I had hurt him physically, and mentally. He looked at me with his emerald eyes, that were full of pain.' I'm sorry Jessie, i didn't...' The rest of his words i couldn't hear, he was sorry? For what, for being hit? For being friendly? Just when he wanted to turn around, i stopped him. I held his hands and looked into his eyes. It was a fight between my mind and heart, tell him or not tell him...'I-i...'I knew my cheeks turned red and i looked down, but it was so hard to tell him, he would probaly hate me for loving him. And like i was every time when i was set on telling him i love him, i was too scared, too proud and too weak... I actually never considered myself weak before, i always was the stronger member of the team. He looked at me expectingly, like he waited for this a long time. For what? I mean, he didn't love me after all. Or did he? This was just too much... I looked at James again and finally, i was read to tell him the truth. ' James, i don't know how to say, but...'. ' WATCH OUT!!!' James pulled me down, just in time! We were under attack! I felt like someone pinched me everywhere, but then a thousand times worse. And i was positively sure everybody was feeling the pain. But not the same pain, the one of a broken heart... To be continued... Who's attacking 'em? I bet you all know! But more importantly, will Jessie be able to gain the strenght again to tell James her true feelings for him? Or will it be the other way around? You will only find out if you...READ THE NEXT PART OF MY STORY! If ya want to you can send your comments to lisa_pama_mangadrawer@hotmail.com or nikki_aino@hotmail.com .
