Lost Feeling

By: Enja

Chapter: 2

I stared at window, sun shown happily through it. Though I was not happy. More tears tormented to come out of my eyes. I tried to pull them back, it was no use. I heard banging at my door. “How ‘bout some food, Ash?” I didn’t answer. Nothing seemed appealing to me anymore, not even food. Pikachu tried to cheer me up everyday, but nothing could help me, only one thing. That was entirely impossible though. She was gone. Never to come back to me. Something bright orange/red caught my eye.

“Misty?” I asked. No, it was just an old baseball cap, lying on the floor. I had thought that maybe she had been sleeping on the floor. Everyday we would switch off from the floor to the bed. I miss the way she would wake me up in the middle of the night because she had had a bad dream. I miss her annoying ranting, her complaining about my denseness, her smile. I missed everything about her. I could not help reassuring myself that she was alive and I would see her soon. Though nothing like that ever happened, I still reassured myself.

Day slowly turned into night. The sky getting darker by the minute. Nothing made sense to me anymore. My pillow was now very wet from crying on it. I turned over and stared at the ceiling. Maybe counting the little dots would help. One, two, three, four, five, six. Oh, this isn’t working! I still continued to stare at the dim lighted ceiling. I heard another knocking on the door. It was my aunt again. “Honey, you need to come out of there. It isn’t healthy for you in there. You need to talk to somebody!” I grunted and turned towards the wall this time. My moms footsteps disappeared back downstairs, towards the kitchen.

I closed my eyes, hoping maybe my life would turn upward. A light, cold, breeze blew through my window. Shivering, I triumphantly got off my bed to shut the window. Before I could reach it and close it, and very strong wind came through. Knocking me over, this must have been at least sixty m.p.h. Of course I was easy to knock over right now. I struggled to get up so I could shut my window, but when I got near another very strong wind came through, again knocking me over.

I tried once more, same thing happened. What was happening? I wasn’t sure but it was very creepy and disturbing. After failing several attempts I went back to my bed and got under the covers. I slowly but surely fell asleep.

My eyes twitched, hoping to be opened. I obeyed and opened them, light beaming into them annoyingly. I yelped when I saw a girl after my eyes got somewhat used to the light. She was sitting on top of me, though I did not feel any weight. She glowed a ghostly white and had no spark of life in her eyes. She had bright red hair and was tall and slender. She was about thirteen years old. After my eyes got completely used to the light I immediately recognized her.

“MISTY?” She put her finger to her lip and nodded. “B-but y-you c-can’t--…”

“I know Ash, I can’t stay long.”

“But Misty, why did you have to go?” Many tears were now running out of my eyes.

“I tried to return, Ash. It was just too much work… I-I miss you!” She started to cry too. I tried to put my arm around her, I had forgotten that she was no longer…alive. My arm just fell through her. A cold feeling went through my body as soon as I touched her.

“Misty, this isn’t fair! I never realized how much I need you, when you…you know! I love you!” As soon as I said that Misty started to fade away. “NO!”

“Ash, just promise me you’ll live your life! Have fun. Just don’t forget me! I love you too Ash…” After my name had come of the tip of her tongue she was gone, gone again.

“I promise, Misty. Anything to make you happy.” I didn’t know how I would go on, but I would.
