Chapter 4

 

            “I want you.”

            Gold shivered in his dream. Red looked wonderful like that, but there was something wrong…

            He woke up screaming, and met amused red eyes.

            “Nice to see you’re awake, Gold.” Red smiled. “We’ve been expecting you.”

            Gold looked around frantically. He was still fully clothed, but he couldn’t feel his wrists or his ankles…

            Lance smiled as Red held up what looked like a figurine made out of ice. There were little ‘X’ markings drawn in black marker on the wrists and ankles.

            Gold stated shivering violently at that, and Red grinned.

            “If you admired me that much, Gold, and if you’re so desperate to be me, why don’t you see what I had to go through…?”

            And then the world froze over.

 

            “How long will he be like that?” Yellow asked anxiously.

            Lance shrugged. “Until someone sets him free, I assume. Depending on whether anyone visits Mount Silver, it could take anywhere from a few days to eternity.”

            She goggled at him.

            “So now you know.” Red told Yellow. “I don’t appreciate being spied on, you know.”

            “Sorry.” Yellow did not sound particularly repentant.

            “I could erase your memories.”

            “Why would you want to?” Yellow frowned. “Gold deserved it.”

            Red blinked. “Do you really think so?”

            “Of course!”

            “And what about my relationship?”

            Yellow sighed. “I can’t say I’m not disappointed but I don’t think you would let me kill him.” She glared at Lance.

            “The feeling is mutual.”

 

            Red laughed. “I see how it is. Well then, it’s time to head home. Did you tell anyone else I was missing, Yellow?”

            “Oh no.”

            “Good.”

            And that was that.

 

            Somewhere in the caverns of Mount Silver, a frozen soul screamed in agony. One moment of pleasure was not worth eons of pain.

            Pity.

Yes, I know it’s short. It might even be pointless. But I wanted to write it, so I did! ^^

Lance: You terrify me sometimes, author

Phantomness: Yay!

Red: Honestly, why am I always a victim? You should make him the uke…

Phantomness: I might, someday, but manga! Lance and anime! Lance is two different species, and I love manga! Lance more… but anime! Lance is so not in control

Lance: That’s why you always write me manga-style, I suppose

Phantomness: Of course! Besides, Lance got to be on the bottom in ‘Illusion of Weakness’, didn’t he? *Waggles eyebrows*

Red: ^^

Phantomness: Yes. I really don’t know how Red used Lorelei’s ice voodoo magic, unless he has her Jynx or he trained another ice-type pokemon to do the same thing…
