❝ Pure hearts; Sinful desires; Endless love ❞
"Ain't it scary? How you can have everything you wanted only to lose it next second?"
She asked the picture holding it in her hand.. Her fingers brushing over the portrait taken years ago in the memory...
"You scare me more than the duolingo owl did to Ash when he was learning French and Spanish last month.."

"Adrian... This guy..." Ash spun the lighter between his fingers and placed it near his ears with a calculative bored look on his face.. "He tried to kill me back in that damn mountain and you want me to go get him back to you while talk him out of it.." Ash's brows twitched at the shitty request woman asked him to fulfil...
This same guy placed Ninetale's life in danger a few months back and dare he suspected, placed Cynthia in the middle of the vortex... Hell if that guy and him could even see into each other's eyes without having urge to strangle other one...
"Even if i do.. What will I gain in return?"
Ash asked her with a sigh.. The second day of their meeting and they arrived at no conclusion.. Last night was them fighting like cats and dogs over how Adrian was a fucking asshole or a misunderstood guy as the woman said... Ash didn't gave a fuck about the man's life, what he gave fuck about was the recording the woman talked about...
He played fair for this long.. Did every mission thrown at him without a question, risked his and his pokemons life on accounts more than he could count, played with Astrid's and Cynthia's feeling... Where did it led him to... Where did the trust he placed in Surge and G-men pushed him to...
He clenched his hair lightly pulling it..
"They were right when they said you would do anything if the name Cynthia was included... She passed a picture to him..." Ash slowly picked the picture up and narrowed his eyes pulling it closer to him... A polaroid picture of a group of well dressed men...
"I hate being used...." He clenched the picture... "All of you.. Surge, G-men, you, Calem, my school.. Every single one of you may come to regret trying to manipulate me... Mark my words.." He warned the woman who ignored the threat.. She had got nothing to lose to anymore.. Her guilt of destroying Adrian won't allow her to sleep in nights and with the news he was in Sinnoh floating around, she couldn't control herself...
"Humans like you and me need a reason.. You may say you hate being used all you want but in the end you can't work without a reason too... I wanted to die you know..." Her sleeves slowly rose as Ash saw the various cut marks over her pale skin flawing them...
"But then i got a reason.. G-men approached me and said i could find him if I reach 10,000 points and rise to the top.. At that time, that was the only reason that kept me alive... They said same to you right?" Her question and revelation to him neither shook him nor he offered an apology, he merely stared at those wounds and tried to digest the words she told him.. 10,000 points.. G-men.. She was right...
