Chapter 10
Finally, alone at last; not a worry in the world. The world is your oyster, relax. It was definitely time for a reality check.
In her dream, she was at the center of the universe; the world revolved around her and nothing else mattered except serenity and the fact that she no longer had any problems. Though, somewhere in the back of her mind, she knew she had to be dreaming. For one thing, she had alot to worry about, and she never was relaxed. For another, she certainly wasn't back home staring at the four walls of her bedroom; safe, stress free, and bored. Seeing how that obviously was not the case, and she was out in the middle of Eterna Forest, her mind started coming back into reality as she slowly woke up. Though the second she did, she thought she was dreaming again.
There floating above her was Vincent, with an aura around his body. He tilted his head to the side as he smiled sweetly down at her, like an angel. His eyes were beautiful, the perfect shade with a sunburst effect around the pupil. His hair had the messy look to it as if he had been running. It was as if she was opening her eyes for the first time. Blaire blinked then slowly raised a hand to poke his face. No, she was not dreaming anymore, her dreams were never as vivid as this.
Vincent reached his hand slowly down to her face and caressed it slowly. How she wanted to say something-anything- but words would not come to her lips yet, this moment was too perfect for her, so she laid perfectly frozen and stared into his eyes. Once he stopped caressing her, he spoke to Blaire, and her heart jumped.
"It's nice to see you again, Blaire. Did you sleep well?"
She slowly nodded, and he chuckled. Confused, Blaire turned her head to the side then glared.
"What's so funny?"
"I'm just surprised you haven't asked me yet.." he grinned, then glanced behind him, then at her once more.
Blaire glanced at the aura coming off his body, then realized he wasn't doing the floating on his own. There behind him, with its back against the wall, was a psychic looking Pokemon focusing its mind on Vincent, making him float above her. Well, that was a handy trick, though she would never trust any Pokemon to do that to her, even if she trusted the Pokemon with its life, which was highly unlikely. Although, that Pokemon could come in handy for other things, so she made a mental note to somehow get a hold of that Pokemon, even if she stole it from Vincent. She looked at him again, he really did seem to be enjoying himself floating above her. Weird.
"Whats its name anyways? That thing in the corner holding you up?"
"Alakazam, or just Zam for short. He goes by either, really. But, now that your up...Zam take me down."
With that said, the Alakazam nodded once, moved Vincent beside him in the corner, then released the aura from around his body. After closing his eyes once, the Alakazam was in full focus again. After she stared at both of them for a moment, she slowly got up from her bed, brushed herself off then crossed her arms and glared at Vincent.
"So what exactly are you doing back here anyways? You leave, then get bored and decide to come back? I don't need watching over, Vincent. I'm perfectly fine on my own," she then paused and thought for a moment, "How did you find me anyways?"
He grinned then glanced at the direction of the doorway, then back at Blaire. Did he really enjoy watching her fume over what seemed to be important things? Or rather, was he not bothered by it at all. Was he some sort of nomad? A very...good looking nomad to say the least, but still. Blaire tilted her head to the side.
"Well?"
"I followed the ashes that lead from the city, because you really didn't do that good of cleaning up, no offense. But still brilliant in a way, very creative..." he paused, glanced once at the Alakazam, then back at her.
"Well, after that I simply had Zam here track you. It was really quite fun actually, like a game of hide and seek. Now here we are, I found you."
She took that all in, letting it absorb in her brain. He...tracked her through this thing?! Well, the thing could come in handy after all. Though, she didn't really like the appearance of the thing, it had a weird looking mustache which bothered her. But how would it be able to track her? Was it possible for other people to track her as well? What was the world coming to these days?
"...How was it able to find me exactly..I'm not really...understanding."
He smiled then took a few steps closer and tapped Blaire's forehead, then glanced at the Sneasel and Houndoom.
"Though Zam has never met any of you before now, it has the power to not only read your mind, but the Pokemon you have encountered mind's as well. He can see images from you and Pokemon, so whenever you entered or left this house, all we had to do was find it because we already knew what we were looking for."
"Interesting.." she said then looked down at the Alakazam once more. It can be used for finding people, places and who knows what else. Very interesting. She looked up at Vincent again, who was staring at her.
"So where are you going now.." Vincent said shifting his weight.
Blaire eyed him suspiciously then glanced at the doorway.
"No where exactly, although I don't need you following me.." she trailed off then started to back out of her room towards the second room, with the chair. He followed her and eyed her carefully. Once he got there however, Blaire was already in the middle of the room, standing beside the chair. He tilted his head to the side the walked next to her and looked down at the chair.
"Blaire...why do you have a chair in the middle of the room? Its certainly not for.."
"Sit down, Vincent." She interrupted, her words as cold as ice. He stared at her, then glared shaking his head.
"What is this, some sort of game? You wanna play games? Fine, I'll play your games with you Blaire, but I'll win everytime.." he then glanced at the Alakazam then looked at Blaire.
"Shove her against the wall, Zam. No mercy." He spoke the words calmly then grinned.
In an instant, a red aura was around Blaire, then seconds after she was airborne and slammed against the wall, the Alakazam holding her there. Vincent held up his hand in the air, then slowly made a fist. With this motion, Blaire began to loose her breath, making it harder for her to breathe. As the fist tightened, her breath was lost at a quicker pace. Like someone was strangling her. Vincent walked over to Blaire and sweetly smiled. He got closer to her and looked her in the eyes, softly speaking to her.
"You see Blaire, this was why I was accepted into Team Galactic, because of my power and I am always a step ahead of everyone. Although, you do look cute when you struggle for air, maybe I should just put you out of your misery and kill you myself. That would certainly promote me and raise my pay..." he tilted his head to the side and acted like he was thinking about it.
Vincent got closer to Blaire, their noses touching. Blaire struggled for more and more air that would not come. Her lungs burned with the desire for air, and she needed to get out of this quick, before she did end up dying. She struggled to open her mouth to act like she was going to say something. Interested, Vincent raised an eyebrow then stroked her cheek.
"Aw, did you wanna say something, Blaire? A final goodbye, maybe?"
Blaire shook her head, then glanced at the Houndoom and Sneasel in the doorway, not knowing what to do because they were not given orders. She struggled to turn her head back to Vincent, and after she glared then opened her mouth again.
"Okay fine..I'll let you say your final goodbye, although, there is something I want to do before you die.." he leaned in closer to her, and kissed her sweetly. His mouth tasted like venom, but to Blaire she could care less. Afterwards, Vincent loosened his fist a little, making it so that Blaire could have enough air to speak. She mumbled something faint and he loosened his fist more.
"What did you say?"
Blaire glared at him, then with as much power she had in her she yelled.
"Houndoom! Get the Alakazam, now!"
Vincent looked shocked then after the Houndoom leapt into the air, fangs bared it attacked the Alakazam, making it loose its focus right away. The Alakazam was on the floor with the Houndoom on top of it. Soon after the Houndoom began tearing limbs off the Alakazam, blood flying onto Vincent nearby, obviously not wanting to get in the middle. Blaire collapsed from the wall and fell to the ground, catching her breath. The Houndoom growled viciously eating at the Alakazam, blood covering its face. The Pokemons last few breaths were cries for help, though no help was offered. After only the spoons the Pokemon held were left, the Pokemon glared at Vincent, blood dripping from his jaw.
Blaire smiled at Vincent who was still in shock after what had just happened. She then pointed to the chair, and immediately Vincent sat down and continued to stare at the blood covered spoons. She glanced at the spoons, the Houndoom, then finally at Sneasel who looked rather bored itself. Sneasel walked over to Blaire, then looked at Vincent tilting its head to the side.
"No...you can't kill him. Although after what he just did I would love to see him dead..why don't you make him...comfortable in his chair, freeze him to it."
The Sneasel smiled as it looked into Vincent's fear struck eyes. It opened its mouth and a light colored beam flew out. It looked like snow, in a way which was in any case awesome for Blaire. With that in mind, she added another thing to the list: frozen to death. Moments later, Vincent was frozen to the chair from his feet to his stomach. Slowly Blaire walked over to him and got done at his eye level.
"So now that your just chilling here, I think I can speak my mind now.." She smirked. Chilling there, frozen. Nice pun.
"I don't want you following me anymore. You hear me? No more. You don't want to end up like your Zam over there.." she then glanced at the bloody spoons laying on the floor. "Now then, I'm leaving to go get some lunch, then who knows what else. I'm actually rather bored as of now, but that really was quite fun. Well, hope your comfy.." She said and turned on her heels and began to walk towards the front of the house, the Sneasel close behind. Houndoom was the last to leave, still eyeing Vincent as something to eat. After it heard Blaire's demand to hurry up the Pokemon left, leaving a trail of blood behind it.
