HISTORY & POKEMORPH
So you want to hear about my past, hey? It's not something that's really interesting, I can assure you of that. It's nothing particularly pleasant either. But then again, the world isn't pleasant or interesting. Living is a real chore and, if it were up to me, one that I wouldn't be dealing with in the first place. But my chance for that is gone. There's nothing left for me but to keep trying to move on, but that's okay. I'll get my revenge first. My sister and I were born twenty-four years ago. Dad was an IT guy at some big fancy company, while Mother stayed at home. Or at least, so she was always fond of telling me and Guinevere. I can't speak for Guin, but I never believed her; by the time we were five, she had dumped us off in daycare and run off to go back to the bakery. At first, I tried sticking close to our older brother Morgan, but since he was seven, he wanted nothing to do with us. The other twins, Gawain and Lionel, were only three, while the youngest, Percival, was barely one; needless to say, none of the three of them interested me or my twin sister. Guin and I spent our time as the terrors of our caretakers, she fond of tricking the other kids out of their goodies outright while I went about it in a mix of intimidation and blackmail. I simply tended to get in trouble more often than she did simply because she was better at convincing them not to tell the adults. Of course, that was assuming that I actually listened to them, and most of the time I didn't. Why should I? It wasn't as if they were my parents. They had no power over me, so Guin and I went right back to causing trouble. We didn't care about what our parents said. We were an entirely different animal from the other kids, and they knew it too. We were rarely separate, and even when we started school, we were rarely seen without the other. That was how it went through most of our childhood, and even if there was some protection from bullies that we did for Perci, for the most part, we were troublemakers, nothing more and nothing less. I know, I know, I promised you a sad story. And it will come. In fact, it was while we were in high school that I first met the boy I would come to love. Cliche, isn't it, the story of how the biggest bully in the school was taken down by love? Yeah, well, he was my better half, so shut up and listen. I was seventeen when I met him, he just sixteen, and I knew from the moment I saw him that he was the one. Soft blue eyes, silky brown hair, unafraid of me, and able to see - with some coaxing - that I was jealous and possessive because I was territorial and that I didn't share my things well with others. We were happy. And then, the worst. I was driving us home after our senior prom, and we were arguing. He was mad about some prank I'd pulled that had gotten us detention - because that was what I'd stooped to now, pranks, since he was mellowing me out - and I was glancing to the side, distracted with how sexy he looked when he was angry. I'll not forget that part as long as I live, the look on his face as he puffed up and argued with me. Funny how it is that, if I were given the chance, I would change everything. I wouldn't have pulled the prank, I wouldn't have left the party when they spiked the punch, and I wouldn't have unbuckled his seatbelt with the intention of pulling him onto my lap while we were parked at a stoplight. I'd only wanted a kiss. He had looked so beautiful that I had just wanted one badly enough to park the car right there and take it. I'd done it enough times before and nothing had happened. This time it did. There was a horn, the flare of headlights, immense pain, and then darkness. When I woke up, I was in the hospital. Guin and Perci were at my side. I had an oxygen mask on and a lot of my body was bandaged. But when I let out a groan and they looked at me, I could tell something was wrong by the way that they looked at me, with pity in their eyes. I'd thought that it was something wrong with me. Instead, I found out that I had killed my lover. The car had hit hard; the doctors said I'd only survived because my boyfriend's body had taken the brunt of the impact. He'd still been alive when the paramedics got to the scene, against all the odds. In fact, he hadn't passed until they loaded me into the ambulance, which he had insisted on having them do first. He had given up his life to save mine. They even whispered that when he died, my heart stopped beating. I had to be resuscitated, and I had almost gone to join him. I was a wreck. I haunted the ward like a ghost and I barely slept. I rarely ate. I had nightmares if that moment play over and over in my head, agonizing over what I'd done. I lost weight rapidly and they feared that the shock would kill me. They sedated me often, and days blended into weeks blended into months. When I was finally released, they prescribed me an antidepressant. I flushed it down the toilet the moment I got home. I didn't want to forget. That would have been the final insult to his memory. The kids whispered in the hallways as I passed, forced back by my parents to get the diploma I'd never received with the class of the the one I'd lost, the other kids but gave me a wide berth. I don't know whether it was word of how I'd changed or the general tension in the air from the emergence of the shadows on Kalos. I don't really care either. I was nineteen and putting my life back together in the first place was hard enough. I graduated and then shortly afterwards the shadows threatened my home in Unova. Guin tricked me into fleeting to the Romantic Isles with her. I'd be mad at her about it except that the sentiment would involve hating her for what she did, and I don't think I could do that. I remembered my boyfriend's Pokemon. He'd had a Larvitar, told me that he'd had it since he was eight. And somehow Guin had that Larvitar and she couldn't take care of it anymore. I took it, and when I let it out of its Pokeball, it started crying. No one had told it that its Trainer had died and after I'd had that burden, I had to tell it that we couldn't even visit the grave, something I'd never had the courage to do. That was when what I'd done hit me fully over the head like a sack of bricks. My lover was gone and he wasn't coming back and I'd abandoned him to the shadows. I wasn't going to see him ever again. He was gone. Forever. And then I remembered that the person who had hit us hadn't been brought to justice. They'd gone on with their lives, hadn't thought twice about the two teenagers that they'd hit with their car. The thought of it started a fire deep inside me, something that I couldn't quite put out. It was something that burned me up until finally, I realized what I wanted to do. I would get his revenge on everyone who had allowed my lover to die. Every. Single. Last. One. My siblings tried to talk me out of it, but they didn't know him. They didn't know that he hadn't intended to protect me. If I was supposed to have died, then I was going to... but I'm going to take the man responsible down with me, and that's not a threat. That's a promise. | Dusknoir Ghost Pressure Kuroya Eighteen |
