Brief Description: What would you do if your long lost parent returns only to bring bad nightmares and memories? Misty knows..She's running away trying to escape it. Ash, leaving behind Brock and Pikachu, wanders aimlessly trying to find her..but..Will he before it's too late and Misty's memories eat her up? @ } ---- Now with out further ado... @ } ---- She used to run into those wonderful open arms of his. She used to anyway. Misty shivered against a tree trunk as Ash set up camp with Brock and Pikachu. Why all of sudden was she so homesick? Misty closed her eyes and leaned her head against the tree, looking up at the near dark sky. Stars twinkled lightly. Night..It used to be her best friend..A time when the world would stop looking down upon her. It used to be..anyway. Ash noticed the recluse Misty, distant from the now roaring fire. He stared at her for a little while, until Brock called for him. "Yo..Ash! We gotta get some more firewood. The way this stuff is burning, by nightfall we won't have any left." Ash turned for a split second. "Okay Brock. Be right there! Hey Mist..Me and Brock-" Misty waved a hand as she hugged her knees. "I heard. I'll be fine. Go." Ash frowned as he turned his back. "Are you-" "Yes!" Ash walked off into the clearing with Brock, searching. Misty felt small tears spring to the corner of her eyes. "Please..make it stop.." She whispered. As she brought her head up, through her blurry vision, she saw Ash and Brock running from side to side of the clearing. She stared at Ash for a while then mumbled the words again. "Please..make it stop.." Jessie managed to open one eye. Nighttime. What? She sat up, and frantically looked around. James and Meowth lay beside her, snoozing peacefully. "LUMSKULLS! WAKE UP!" James' eyes opened reluctantly. "But Jesssiiiie.." Jessie took out her paper fan threateningly. "We over slept James! THe boss will have our heads! Wake Meowth and let's get going." James rolled over and pinched Meowth. "WAA! STOP DAT!" Jessie groaned and grabbed both of them and threw them into the balloon. "Remember! Operation Pikachu starts now! So wake up!" She slapped both of them. That woke them up. Misty was sound asleep when Ash and Brock came back with Pikachu, each dragging a large helping of wood. "Hey..Let's not wake Misty." Brock said. Ash nodded. He noticed her squirm and try to hide underneath her arms. She must be cold. Ash took off his jacket and draped it over her. He found himself almost kissing her cheek. He blinked. "Sweet dreams Mist." If he only known..Misty wasn't going to have sweet dreams that night. ~~~MISTY'S DREAM SEQUENCE~~~ All she could do was smile. Misty watched herself. She was 10. She knew that much. By the looks of the gym it was the Water Festival held every year. Then..He came out. Misty only manged to gape. Her father. Though he was only 30, he looked fifty. Greying hair and dull blue eyes. He had been that way since her mother had been killed in a bike accident. Maybe that's why she had always been so attached to bikes. Each of her sisters got a warm and tender hug from her father. Misty ran up to him but he merely walked past her. "Daddy! Daddy! Hug for me?" She asked trailing him with her plush Staryu. She was met with a cold stare and raised hand. "Back off! Go play with your friends do something! Leave me alone!" Misty eyes watered endlessly as her ten year old self ran into her room. She never enjoyed the festival. SHe was always crying in her room. Misty looked at the shiny new bike for her by the door. Her sisters had gotten it for her. When she was young..All she thought about was one day becoming her mother..and dieing in a bike accident. Than..the scene flashed to one where her father came home drunk. Misty had waited up for him. Her younger self paced the room, while her sub concious stood in a corner. Her father came in. "Daddy!" "What are you doing up so late!? Come here! I'll teach you!" Misty stepped backed in fear as her father grasped her. She burst out crying and screaming as he dealt blow after blow to heer finally shaking her and pushing her into the table. Misty looked in the mirror on the wall. Bruises and scratches adorned her face and arms. She looked like she had gotten ran over. "Your nothing but a worthless, little runt! You'll never amount to anything! YOu hear me! I want you to go to your room and think about how you make my life a living hell! GO!" Misty ran upstairs crying, into her sister's bedroom. THey too, shunned her back into her own bedroom. ~~~END DREAMING SEQUENCE~~~ Misty woke up crying, no..screaming. Screaming in some sort of emotional pain that nothing could express. Misty had just been trapped, locked if you will, in her own personal prison. She stood up and ran off. She didn't know where. But she had to get away. Away from these nightmares. That's when she bumped into something...No someone. She looked up to see Jessie, James, and Meowth staring down at her. "Hey..twerp? Are you..ok?" Jessie asked. Misty sniffed and looked at TR. James was holding Pikachu in a net. Jessie had one leg into the balloon and Meowth was already in the balloon. "AH! WHat are you doing?" Misty got up and grabbed at Pikachu. "HEY!" James grabbed back. "No no no! No touch!" He screamed. Jessie smacked Misty down, then in a tone of sympathetic anger, asked her question again. "ARE YOU OK!?" Misty looked suprised. "DO I LOOK OK TO YOU!?!" She screamed back. Than with one swift move, she manged to kick James legs out from underneath him. Grabbing Pikachu she set him free. Pikachu ran. Ash..Ash would know what to do, It thought. The figure watched the girl. She was screaming for them to let her go. They were throwing her..no..Slamming her into the balloon. "She reminds me so..so much of my little girl. I must help!" THe man ran out and tackled Jessie. His arm looped aorund MIsty's waist and he threw her away from the trio. "Kingdra! Go! Use your Super Typhoon to blast these creeps!" His old voice cracked with the strain of yelling. Kindgra emerged and let loose a powerful wave of water sending TR and their balloon into oblivion. Misty backed away from the man. His face..Even though it was wrinkled and dirty..It was..No..But..It had to be.. ~~~~~~~~~~~ @ } ---- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ @ } ---- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MWUAHAHAHAHAAH! SUSPENSE!
