Escape the Nightmare (Discontinued)

Chapter 3

By the way, this is what she looks like at her age right now. The art isn't mine.

Vid isn't mine either. 

Willows POV:

I didn't know where we were going, but wherever that is, it feels like we've been flying for hours. I was thankful it was peaceful up here though. After going through the hellish torment of everyday beatings at the house. This was bliss. I closed my eyes and listened to the gentle flaps of braviarys wings. It was like a gentle soothing lullaby that eventually put me to sleep.

****time skip brought to you by flying fluffy unicorns because why not (unicorns are awesome)****

I woke up to braviary trying to get my attention. Blinking the blurriness out of my eyes, I look for any identifying landscape to tell me where we were. Looking down, I notice the outdoor market that belongs to none other than slateport city.

I've never been before but brother talks about it quite a bit. It was apparently a port where we get a lot of things from other regions. Looking more at the city as we got closer, I start to notice us descend slowly. "Why are we here braviary?"

Braviary said nothing as we touched down near the beach. Kids were playing carefree while parents napped or watched from under beach umbrellas. It was indescribable how peaceful it was. I was so caught up in looking around that I didn't notice braviary trying to get my attention until he pushed me into the sand.

Falling comically onto my face, I look up glaring slightly at braviary who was smirking. It was then I notice that he had something in his mouth. I bring my hand up to take it and he lets the slip of paper drop into my hand.

On one side, it was completely blank. Just a white piece of paper, until I turned it over. It was a ticket to the Sinnoh region.

It made me feel scared yet happy. I was leaving behind the region I knew almost like the back of my hand to go to another region where I knew nobody.

But this was an opportunity for me to get away from dad, and maybe start another life where he'll never find me and brother if he finds me.

I look up at braviary as he only nods in the direction we needed to go in. He then just started walking. Its scary how braviary can be so much like a jokester one minute and then become so serious the next.

I quickly ran to catch up to braviary as he was already a but away from me. Braviary looked behind to look to make sure I was keeping up. He would stop every now and then to make sure I stayed by his side.

If I drifted to far behind, he would immediately cry out to me.

Walking for a couple minutes across the sandy beach, we come across the ship docking area. There were about 4 ships docked and a couple out in the water already setting on a new course. I could only pray that the one we needed to board was docked. With that thought, we began our search for the boat.

It took 10 minutes walking on the pier, asking everyone we could about directions when we heard someone yell. A man in a sailors uniform was standing outside next to a line of people. He was saying that the boat, the S.S Cactus, was ready for boarding.

Walking up to him, I ask "Is this the boat headed towards the Sinnoh region?" He just looked down at me shocked and put on a kind smile. "Why yes it is! Do you need help finding your parents mam?" I just smiled "No thank you. My parents already went on board not long ago and I am supposed to meet them by their cabin." I smile shyly at him as I hope he believes me.

"If you say so mam. If you need any help on board, just remember my name is Billy!" He smiled playfully and asked for my ticket. Handing it to him I watch him take a quick look over it to make sure it isn't fake before handing it back to me. "Alright, you are ready to go! Hope you find your parents and have a pleasant trip!"

I nod and quickly take off down the wooden boards that led to the opening of the ship. Braviary flapped his wings and trued catching up with me. I giggled and stopped at the open door to wait for him.

Braviary was not happy I left him but I just smiled happily at him and jumped towards him with my arms open. Taking him by shock, I wrap my arms tightly around his neck and give him a fierce hug. "Thank you braviary." I whisper into his neck. He lowered his head to lay it on my shoulder as a hug and allowed me to dangle.

After a minute, I let go and made my way inside. It was simple and brand new looking. There was a wooden floor with a red walkway carpet that led to multiple corridors. Metal doors lined the walls of the hallways with number plaques.

"Let's find our room shall we?" I say to braviary as I smile and take out my ticket. Looking over it, I look for the room number. Once I know it, I set off to find the room. It didn't take to long considering the ship wasn't that big, and before I knew it I stumbled upon our room number 211.

Opening the heavy metal door, I peak inside I marveled at it. It was a simple room with one bed and a desk. The bed had covers that were neat and cleaned while the desk had nothing but a notepad and pen. Walking inside, I close the door behind me. I inspect every nook and cranny before setting my backpack on the bed.

Deciding it was safe enough, I take out all of my poke balls and release my Pokémon. They all came out with a cry and inspected me for injuries. Rats and spheal jumped up on the bed to inspect my slightly swollen cheek while ponyta, absol, and tropius just watched quietly.

Now I am not gonna lie, it was crowded in here but I wouldn't have it any other way. My friends are with me and safe from dad.

That's all I could ask for.

Alright, sorry this took so long! I've been busy with life and had little time to write. But I GOT IT WRITTEN HAHAHAHAHAHA😆!
