I don't know about you people but for my I have just over a month of summer left. Where did the time go! It's like I've been doing anything important!!!!! Can you guys believe how popular this story has gotten since my last chapter update I've gotten 300 reads. which might not sound like a lot but when i first started this book it took me almost 10 months to get the same amount. which lead me to my next topic. Happy 1 year Anniversary Hikari! Yep thats right, as of July 30, 2013 I first started to write about your adventure. I guess that means that I need to step up my game and write more often. Well I should get to the chapter before you all go insane at my constant rambling. Yosh, chapter 14 a protection charm is up to bat!

Hikari's Pov

The trip was silent as Silver lead the way through the forest and we enter the deserted pokemon center in Striaton City.

" I wonder where all the people are?" I ask absentmindedly.I spare a short glance in Silver's direction. Without meeting my gaze Silver answers my question while looking around and pulling on hem of his black gloves which he seemed to wear all the time.

" Stupid, it's 3 AM, everyone's asleep." embarrassed at my own thoughtless question I advert my gaze to look at the chair sitting not to far away from me. " Go sit over in that chair while I go see if I can get us two rooms. We'll stop by the gym in the morning and tell everyone you're alright." Silver commands harshly. I wanted to argue with him and say that he couldn't boss me around, but I was so tired that I just coudn't find the energy. I nod my head silently and walk over to the chair I had been looking at earlier . I lean my head back against the chair's cool frame and close my eyes. In my head I played over and over again the events of the evening. Losing to Cilan, hiding in a tree, arguing with Red, and waking up with my head in Silver's lap. My thought's wandered, swimming in my head. I'd felt bad about leaving Red in the middle of the forest, I just hoped that he was ok.

" Two rooms please." I hear Silver ask nurse Joy who was sitting at the front desk. I'd hate to have her job.

" Okay, here you are. Your rooms are on the 2nd floor." Nurse Joy replies, handing silver two room key's I imagine. I open my eyes and spot silver walking towards me. I stand up and Silver hands me a roomkey.

" Goodnight." Silver turns and walks towards the stairs.

W-wait!" I cry out after unwrapping Silver's scarf from around my neck and holding it out to him. " T-thanks for lending it to me. "

" Keep it. I don't need it anyway." Silver give a hint of a smile before disappearing up the stair. my breath catches in my throat and I stare at the black scarf I now owned. Silver had smiled, if only a little. I didn't think he knew how to smile. A warm feeling spread through my chest.* Strange, I wonder if I'm getting sick from sleeping out in the snow.* I sigh deeply before heading up the stairs to my room. Once I was inside I hang the scarf on a hook on the back of the door. And flop onto the bed. It didn't take long for sleep to find me, and a drifted into a dreamless sleep.

~~~~~~~ Time skip morning ~~~~~~~~

I was awakened from my sleep by someone banging on my door. I roll over in my bed and pull the cover up over my head, hoping that would make the bangging stop. It didn't.

" Go away!" I yell, irritated. The pounding persists and I cover my ears with my hands. All I wanted to do was sleep, was that so hard to ask for. I finally give up throwing the covers off my body reluctantly. I rub the sleep from my eyes and swing my legs over the side of the bed where my feet meet soft carpet.
