You never go
Your always here (suffocating me)
Under my skin
I cannot run away
Fading slowly
I awoke in cold sweat, running a high fever. I lifted my head off of the pillow and scanned my surroundings. In a quick flash I realized where I was, I was in my old office building before I moved underground. I wanted to get up, but when I tried my head started to spin.
'I'm not giving!' I thought briefly, as I throw my legs over the side and stumbled over to my old cherry wood desk. The first thing I noticed was a picture from my military camping days. It was a picture token of me, Johny, Zaggy, Poke, and Kataang all standing side-by-side making funny faces.
Beside that picture, was my most prized possession. It was a baby blue framed picture of Poke and I, Poke had her arm across my shoulder and the other hand was doing a peace sign, I had one hand behind my back and the other also doing a peace sign. Poke had a wide grin and I had a soft smile.
I took the picture out of the frame and stuffed into my jacket pocket. I froze after I realized what I did, I was wearing cloths and to be more specific I was wearing my old camp uniform.
I'd give it all to you
Letting go of me
Reaching as I fall
I know it's already over now
Nothing left to lose
Loving you again
I know it's already over, already over now
I was frozen into a state of shock that when I heard footsteps all I could was turn around into a taijutsu stance. The steps stopped at the door and slowly it opened to a banana solider. He was maybe three years older then my, making him around 16 and her had the normal banana features like blond hair and brown eyes.
"Oh my, your up already." He said, not sounding very worried as he moved towards you,"Come on, Sir. The base is waiting your approval to scout the remains of the second underground base that blew up."
He stopped in front of me and gave me some documents. Looking through them I signed the approval and below it I wrote a note saying I will accompany them on the scout.
'Is there any way of getting away from this?' I thought, as he walked out to deliver them to his higher ranking officer like what Johny would do to me since I was his higher.
I looked around the room to see what I could do when I spied my old mirror that use to be at my house, but after becoming a general I had it moved to my office. Walking over to it I admired Johny's lovely marksmanship of the designs.
Even though it was burnt here and there, because my house burned down in a hate arosen, it was beautiful. I reluctantly looked away from the mirror frame and into my reflection.
First thing that was a noticable change was my eye, right now had a eye-patch that covered it, but you could see the jagged scars that started at the hairline went into the eye-patch and down to the corner of my lip. Next, if you can draw yourself away from the eye to the other, you would noticed it was a silver grayish color. Then, would be my hair that was now a dull back with gray streaks running down it.
My left hand was bandage, so you wouldn't noticed the burn marks. I couldn't say the same for the scars that covered my body though, but the only one you could see was the one the was close to my belly button and went down my hip. I ran my hand across that one and remembered Poke and Johny who might have died.
My best defense, running from you
I can't resist, take all you want from me
Breaking slowly
I opened my eyes to my father's looming shadow over my bed. Tears were streaming down his face and into his red Irish looking beard. In between his front two teeth he was yanking on a red hankie and sniffling like a overgrown baby.
I got up, slipped into my purple bunny slippers, and walked out of my room to the hallway as if it was a normal morning routine. Walking down the hall and into the kitchen, somewhere in there my father latched himself onto my feet, my mom greeted me with a apple plus banana muffin and a pat on the head.---
"Is there something wrong, Little Miss?" A tree asked me. 'Wait, tree's don't talk!?!' I whipped around so fast that I fell flat down on my face. Lifting my face out of the dirt, I saw a man step out from behind the 'talking' tree.---
He nodded his head as if he saw this kind of thing all the time. Which isn't as far fetched as it seemed since a lot of kids probably get lost in the woods all the time. He offered his hand to me to help me up.
For some reason I could only stare at the offered hand before taking it. It almost seemed like I knew that taking his hand would alter my life forever.---
I was standing in the assemble line where all the new recruits where. I stood by this other girl who, I guessed, was around my age. She turned to me and flashed me a smile while holding out her hand.
"Hi, I'm Pokemonlovergrl." She addressed herself, while I uncertainly shook her hand.
She turned back to watch the stage. I kept staring at her and frowned. There it was again, when I shook her hand I felt like meeting her would change and alter my life. ---
I sometimes send letters home to mom and 'that man'. That was in till one day a was walking to the post office. When I got there the man behind the counter gave me a yellow envelop from the Second Kingdom.---
Playing the jerk card to see if his face would turn red I also got very close to his face so we were eye-to-eye and bite back with a, "That is correct, Sir."
I was almost laughing my butt off when his face turned as red as a apple, seeing as he was a spaghetti. For a moment he was still, but a wide grin was placed on his face. I stopped laughing and eyed him.
"Well, I guess you wouldn't mind taking that class again next year then." He said, grinning evilly.---
After we calmed down, I passed him some papers with a serious face. He frowned as he took them and looked through it. They were qualification papers, all signed and filled by me. He stared at the stamp mark on the first paper, 'APPROVED'.
He looked up at me,"You know what this means, do you?"
My face split into a wide cheshire cat grin,"You take orders from me now."I'd give it all to you
Letting go of me
Reaching as I fall
I know it's already over now
Nothing left to lose
Loving you again
I know it's already over, already over now
I placed my hand on the mirror to keep myself from falling. I bowed my head and since the time a realized my parents were dead, I cried. I cried for my parents, friends, and Johny. I was alone again and there was no Johny to save me or friends to help me.
They were gone, if not dead. For I was no longer LainLawliet, I was Führer Lawliet. I lifted my head back up to stare at the mirror, which under the pressure of my hand, broke into four different pieces that was still attached to the frame.
Blood started to softly pour out of the cut made in the hand, running down to the floor. I took my hand away and stood straight up, turned around and left.
You're all I'm reaching for
It's already over
All I'm reaching for
It's already over now
Outside with a few apple scouts, I mounted my favorite gray horse that I kept here. The scouts and I were riding to the underground base remains to gather any data left and some artillery that might still be useful. We rode swiftly and in a few minutes we reached are intended destination unharmed. Of course, I didn't tell them all I'm here for is to find Poke and Johny's remains.
Entering the base, I secretively detached myself from the scouting group. Slowly I went towards Poke's office, which was close to my own, and entered. For a second I did a anime fall before catching myself. Poke's office was a mess and I wasn't so sure that it was because of the bomb.
My heart started racing seeing the giant hole that led straight into my office had blood splattered on the edges. Jumping over it and into my office, I looked for evidence that she was here and I got it. Right by the hole, the place a was standing, was a pool of dried blood.
I felt like heaving, but I held it in and followed the blood splatter meaning she crawled....
towards me.
I'd give it all to you
I offer up my soul
It's already over, already over now
"Lain, are you ok?!" Poke coughed up what looked like a mixture of vomit and blood.
"Poke, you're hurt worse then I am," I shuddered from pain, "I am ok, really, just let me rest..."
"Lain, you must have a concution, and you are bleeding b-" Her voice was fading to me, but not her actions. She moved to go help me, then slunk to the floor, completely out of energy, but she shakes it off.
She limped slowly over to me, and helped me to the doctor. Just as I was taken to Urgent Care, she screamed something to me before I faded over completely, but I couldn't hear it and my vision was already blurry so I couldn't place her words.
Give it all to you
Letting go of me
Reaching as I fall
I know it's already over now
Nothing left to lose
Loving you again
I know it's already over now
It's already over now
I know it's already over, already over
My first thoughts was, "She's alive and maybe Johny is too."
I was almost giddy, but not really. I still had a lot of things to do now. The first thing was to call a Four Kingdom meeting to discuss the now apparent bomb threat and more secretly I thought if Poke is ok, she'll be at the meeting.
