Lost Feeling

By: Enja

Chapter: 3

After last night, with what happened…you know, with Misty. I was to go outside, from my home in Azalea Town, to continue my journey. I had stayed with my aunt (thanks Nova S.), even though I did not want to. The reason I didn’t like her much was because she treated my too well. She spoiled me, she hugged me (too much), she gave me anything I wanted practically. It would seem to be any child’s dream to have an aunt like that and live with her but not me.

I opened my door quietly and headed down stairs. I was still not very hungry but it seemed like I needed it. I stopped in front of the mirror in the stairway. I looked shrimpier than ever. My ebony hair was even more messed up than normal. I had tear stains everywhere and bags under my eyes. I shook my head and continued down the stairs. When I reached the bottom step my aunt came bustling into the living room.

“ASH!” She put her fat arms around me and squeezed me till I couldn’t breath much anymore. “You’re finally down, you look terrible! How ‘bout some food?” I nodded, mainly because I wanted her to let go of me and I was a little hungry. She set me down carefully. “Now you go take a bath!” I glared at her and headed off towards the bathroom.

I wrapped the towel around my soaking wet body. The warm water had felt great against my skin and I felt much better. The hand mirror showed no tear stains anymore. My hair was back to it’s normal state. Many emotions could still be seen in my eyes. Depression, anger, shyness, but there was still no spark of happiness. I went to my room and put on clean clothes. Back down the stairs I headed.

The smell of macaroni & cheese filled my nose. I was right, on the elegantly set table sat macaroni & cheese, garlic bread, and juice. Suddenly I felt hungry again. My aunt once again came into the room. She smiled at me and pulled out a chair for me. I did not smile back, though I took the chair, gratefully. The meal was delicious. The warmness filled me and cheered me up quite a bit.

“So Ashy, what are you going to do when you get over that silly girl?” I dropped my fork when she said that.

“She is NOT a silly girl! In case you didn’t notice, I loved Misty!” I say, my voice, cruel.

“I’m just joking, Ashy, I needed to get something out of you!” I would have very much liked to punch her for saying that, but I knew what would happen if I did. “So what are you going to do?”

“Continue my journey…” I mumbled. This time it was my aunt who had dropped something.

“I will not hear of the sort!” She raged.

“You know you are not the one for me to decide what to do! You do not own me. You took my mothers place to take care of me, not tell me what to do and what not to do!”

“You want to bet?!?!”

“Yeah, you know what? I leaving tomorrow, weather you like it or not!” I stormed up the stairs to pack my stuff. Pikachu came running into my room.

“Pika pi cha?” (What are you doing?)

“Leaving!”
