Three Years

Chapter Six - Lumiose City

Hello guys !

To apologize for my lack of updates, let's have one chapter per week until the seventh or eighth one.

This chapter was corrected by Hilda from the Pokespe Amino so if you want to thanks someone for the chapter thanks her.

Also, I try to hide some little clues about details in the plot since the beginning of this fanfic, and I want to try a little game : if you have a theory about what will happen and that you can prove it with the clues, contact me in PM to verify if you are right, and if you are right and depending of the importance of what you had discovered, I may offer you something. Of course, you are free to participate or not, it is totally up to you !

And now, let's have this little chapter!

oOo

     The steep road of the Spikes Passage was like she remembered. Cliffs which hid the sky. Below, the top of the trees. The sun was up in the sky, with only a few clouds. It was a good day.

     She swallowed. It was only a bad moment. It was not the first time, and surely not the last. Then, even if she was used to it, she hated it. But apparently, it did not want to leave her.

     A sound, on her right. She did not even turn her head. She already knew what it was, no, who it was. The sound of a camera's flash, the scratching noise of a pen on a paper, the reflections which were said by a curious voice. She bit her lip. She did not even remember of the right tone of his voice. These little details, the time easily erased them. Because everything that appeared one day was destined to disappear.

     She mentally counted. It would happen soon, like always, she already knew it. She could only wait and hope that it would not be too long this time. But the time was laughing at her, and the minutes looked like hours. The voice she did not remember anymore was still speaking. She just wanted it to stop, to be the last time she had to revive this. But she knew it was impossible.

     Suddenly, it happened. The loud and quick noise of a Pokémon who was running. A voice that cried, "Attention!" Like always, it was useless. The person near to her turned back and was surprised, but could not move quickly. The Pokémon hit them, and, both of them, with the owner of the beast, fell into the bellow forest. She closed her eyes. She did not want to see how it was below, she already knew it. She could not even let a tear go.

     Why would it never end?

     Could she never be ever free of it?

     Did she not imagine what happened this day enough, even if she was not here when it really happened?

     Did she...

"Y! Wake up!"

     The girl suddenly opened her eyes, breathless. She was in a bedroom, in the Prism Tower, and according to the light which came of her window, it was already morning. Near to her, X was looking at her, worried. One look to him was enough to confirm what he thought.

     It was that nightmare.

     Again.

     She sighed. She was, unfortunately, not that surprised. The only thing which upset her was that it happened at this moment. With this attack, and all the stuff about Korrina, she already had to handle a lot of things, and it was not the time to be bothered by the memories of those people. Three years happened since this event, and now, she had to move on and stop thinking about the past, and of this insidious question which often bothered her, this what if, of which could never have an answer.
