OMG I <3 YOU GUYS ><;;;
MCD; yes I do remember you. ^^ Thank you very much for the review! A thesaurus? Well um..*shifts eyes* I look up dictioanries/thesauruses sometimes and try to learn more vocabulary for myself. >_> No, I'm not a geek. It's just fun and gives me something to do, and it certainly pays off of writing. The point of this chapter was to build up an introduction really, just trying to let readers grasp the concept, yet not so entirely. Confusing, yes but...
oni flygon; thanks! Although this is only the first chapter, thank you anywayz. XP
Frostweaver; well, you basically identified what I was going to say. The setting description should've told you where she was currently...ah well, not anymore. Here's chapter 2. ^_^! I included thundershock because I HATE how TR always gets hit by them, and they are unaffected. Really unexplainable. I like to think Pokemon in the perspective of reality.
<Chapter Two>
H-How did-The white clothed man stumbled upon words, shaking his head. It seems some of her memories are renewed altogetheralthough He frowned hesitantly at the apparent stated fact, newly christened Hikari staring straight at him. Her eyes were filled with a strange hollowness, gray fog billowing over the last remnants of blue. It felt as if those same water drops enclosed with salt would trail down her cheeks any moment, but she did not surprisingly. Instead, Hikari spoke soft steadfast words.
Im tired of white, She said quietly yet bluntly, trailing her fingers down the white around her, oblivious to the two mens surprised glance at each other. She then touched the same white of her dress, then the silver glint of her hair. Everything is white. She remarked soundly, joining her hands together.
I live in white. She giggled, covering her mouth with her hands, completely unaware of the strangers peculiar glance at the odd laughing girl. After a while, she stopped suddenly, setting her hands on the floor. Her knees lessened the closed space between her, as her head looked down, trails of hair falling down with her.
But the white scares me. She whispered, eyes resuming that empty space. Her arms trembled. It scares me a lot Her voice quivered with unknown fear, bringing her knees close to her, hugging them tightly. She set her head down, eyes shut to block away everything else. The stranger raised his gruff hand and gently patted her on the back, standing up. The white clothed man sighed low under his breath at the bunched up girl, obviously not wanting to be at their presence any longer.
At least we know her name now He jumped at the small discovery, crossing his arms. He still carried that disapproved look on his face. Lets leave. There is no point in staying if she ever acts like that. Believe me, I tried. He said gently. The stranger nodded, letting the man lead him out of the room, closing the door behind him, leaving Hikari to dwell upon her own imagination.
Hikari peeked open an eye. Were those men gone? Yes, they were indeed gone. She grinned mischievously, staring at the empty white in front of her. They were falling like rain, drifting to the floor. Her eyes drifted on and off. She numbly stood up, walking steadily at the white door in which they escaped out of. How did they escape the whiteness? They could slip in and out, without much of a vague thought on this.
She tilted her head amusingly, ghostly hands outstretched to what seemed like a portal. Her eyes got lost as she stepped forwards, giving it a slight push. And to her shocked look, it opened. There was the door to her freedom from all this white. It was just staring right back at her.
An odd smile flew by her face, as she started walking. Every step sent a pulse of excitement through her veins, as her feet stepped on something hard, and it was not white. Hikari smiled, the light getting dimmer as she walked farther away. The floor was cool, hard and a darker shade of white. It was not much of a difference, but it was darker. What was it called? Gray? She shook her head, as she resumed walking. Why was everything so dark? Why wasnt anyone here? There was a strange rectangular object with things on it, as well as various items lying around.
She giggled softly, skipping across the marbled floor. Every step was so light and carefree, every moment of it was like an utter delirium. Silky hair flew with her, eyes lively with this unknown kind of freedom. She halted mid air, collapsing down to her feet slowly. There it is! That pink cat she kept seeing, that kept bothering her. A childish pout crept up her face, as she giggled again. Her voice echoed as a small melody came out, resuming skipping. Hikari didnt mind the dim light. It reflected her slender silhouette of who she was.
She slowed into a walk as her eyes caught sight of a door? What were they? They were the same things the men used to get out, wasnt it? Gasping with excitement at this small realization, she eagerly walked to it, hands desperately trying to regain that force so she may push it, and to feel it welcome her into another world.
Hikari did this easily, gushing with happiness as she ran outside. The first thing she noticed; was darkness. Figures didnt presume the most, except a round illuminating white orb blended in with the dark indigo night. Her eyes opened with surprise and a bit of fright, but stepping outside despite this. Her feet felt something different, a small breeze flying softly by her face. It was so black, unlike the white world she lived in. Everything was black and so dark. There was no sign of white, no sign of that same comfort. Instead, it was an eerie kind of glowing beauty wavering around.
Her mind still a mess, she stumbled softly over various sharp objects, unaware of any emotions. The night air lifted her spirits. She felt like the wind, and this feeling she had never experienced before. Hikari laughed freely, walking a bit more. The dark light faded until she was sure she could not see anything. Tall objects loomed over her, a rustling noise stumbling past. What was that sudden coolness flying by so swiftly besides her? Her hands fidgeted restlessly, receiving light only from the glowing white orb. It could barely get past the thick clumps of tiny leaves clutteredtrees?
She stopped when her eyes caught a faint flicker of light. Light! Hikari giggled nervously, but sang as she walked. Every step brought her so closer, yet still far. Her hands were reached out, feeling for anything she might get hold of. Was that pink cat back again? Again that dazed look clouded over her gray blue eyes, receiving nothing and sending nothing. Did it want to play with her? She shook her head; walking faster, hem of her dress flying with her. That light got faint, as she took a slight turn. Or was it because she veered off direction once again?
To her dismay, it disappeared altogether. But it was a different kind. Here she was standing alone in the dark, catching a glimpse of hope until it just went away. Like the eye of a storm, midway to its destination. It was just so queer how everything seemed to take a sudden twist of turn. Something brushed past her ankles. Was it the wind? Yes, the wind indeed felt this silky and smooth. But it was something else she could not point on, something soft unlike anything she felt.
Tilting her head, Hikari bent down, hands searching for whatever may have touched her in the beginning. Fingers grasped empty air, disappointment arousing her face. She suppressed a sudden random action of frustration as another soft sensation brushed past her legs. Was it an illusion? A figment of imagination? Or just something she couldnt quite grasp the concept on? Her eyes were clouded over with the dark, matching the pale grayness fog in her eyes. Lost, traveling and halted.
For a moment, it was silence, until she took a step forwards. Something was calling her, she heard it. It was a tendentious thing to her, as she took another step, eyes confused and lost. An acid feeling bothered her eyes. Why did this cat torment her like so? Why couldnt it just come out and face her? If it wanted to play, Hikari was fine with that. But she did not like how it hid every time she managed to catch a glimpse at it. Her mind could not consolidate on the matter anymore; it was not proficient enough to understand this one thing. With an angry gesture, she uttered unexplainable words as she trudged along.
All this time, a small part of her had been contemplating on the outcome she would have to face. Irksome branches got in her way, fist pounding on them to move. In fact, she was so lost she did not hear the angry squeal something made when her feet stepped on something unusually furry. Furry? Hikari had barely enough time before voltage of electricity shot through her body rapidly, a high pitched scream escaping her mouth. She wanted it to go away, what had she done to deserve this treatment? A spasm of pain stabbed her entire vein course, spreading quite efficiently. It gradually stopped, as the unknown creature was heard rustling into a bush.
So this was her first experience with something new? What was this called? Hikari thought, collapsing near a tree, tear drops threatening. Her hands were shaking involuntarily, trying to ease themselves to support her weight when standing up. They clenched themselves into a fist, shakily getting up. A flash of another pink was all it took for the girl to go in an enraged scream. Her mind was lost, walking, yet still searching. Fits of tears rolled down as she beat her fists against the bark of a tree. What was wrong with her? Why was she seeing these abnormal visions?
"Go away," Hikari said forcefully to nothing in particular, stumbling as she continued to walk. Her hand still stung from the assault she had used against that tree. Sanity seemed to leave her completely alone, empty and somewhat hollow. She forced down a choked sob as her hands gripped another tree for support. I do not wish to see you anymore. Hair stuck fast against her tear stained face, nothing but a flurry of mess. She didnt know who she was anymore, where she was going, and she didnt know what was blinding her eyes like so.
She couldnt see anything; extreme light shining and digging deep into the surface of her eyes, quite painfully. Her hands reached out to cover it, but it saw past, as she turned her head away. She took a step back out of skepticism, trying to avoid this blinding light. Her ears picked up mutters, low talking, and the same kind the white clothed man and that stranger had used. Were they talking behind her back as well? She fought down the incensing anger, thoroughly vexed as she lowered her head a bit to cover out most of everything around her.
What the-The deep voice sounded shocked, as he approached. There were some other mutterings, gaining on her. She clenched her fists again, advantageous only to suppress the enraged girl.
LEAVE ME ALONE. Screaming to her full extent, Hikari tried to run, but the total darkness was no more. Light flooded her every direction, loud mutterings and whisperings aroused as she desperately tried to escape. Nowhere to turn and nowhere to go, the last of the light faded away when something relevantly hard knocked her in the back. The last she saw was that pink cat flying by again, just a subdued glimpse before her world collapsed into the shallow darkness. And tranquility was restored.
