The fire in their eyes

Chapter 6 Scars of the Past

Side note: Sorry if I don't upload every night but I'd prefer to upload something I've put time and effort into rather than any random crap I thought about on the spot.

Edwards Manectric was folding clothes. A lot if the staff had pokemon to help them with their work. This manectric was probably a guard as well. "So would you like to explain those bruises?" Edward asked a second time. Hannah turned on the bed. "Sir?" Edward asked.

"You're dismissed" Hannah said her voice was dry.

"Young master please"

"I said get out" Hannah threw a pillow. It hit Edward square on the nose. He left his manectric was returned and his pokeball in hand.

That night Hannah had continuous nightmares. At least she didn't wake up screaming otherwise someone else would bolt in. Her pokemon were on the other side of the room. It wasn't worth getting up for or was it? She pulled up her sleeve and stared at the scars most had healed over and weren't noticeable but some bruises looked fresh. She pulled down her right sleeve. She stared at the pokeballs they stared back each one was a valued friend and battler. Infernape, Furret, Blaziken, Arceus, Houndoom and Braviary. Many people's pokemon were sent to there professors but Rowan sent all of her pokemon to her father. Parfum palace had a pokemon sanctuary in the garden. It was worked by some his students that intended to be professors too one day. Hannah had no intention of following in her father's footsteps. She wanted to be a pokemon master with Gary. To have earned her title of pokemon master not given to her by birth rights. Hannah wanted to paint her own destiny. Sleep just wailed at the back of her head. She probably did go to sleep.

Sleeping in was still a fairly new concept to Hannah in Sinnoh she had to get out the house before her mother woke up. When she was her journey she always wanted to train. Gary however was the king of sleeping when they were in hotels he would want to sleep until 10:00 am which was the time Hannah had woke up. Continuous nightmares probably helped her sleep in. She pulled the rope a few seconds later Edward came in. "Where you outside my door this entire time?" Hannah shouted.

"Maybe but I need to tend to those bruises"he said pulling out a bottle of medicine and cotton swabs.

"Wait what?"

Edward had rolled up her sleeve and was examining the scars.

"What the fuck are you doing?"

"Well since your the princess of Kalos"

"Don't call me that"

Edward sighed."You my young Lord are going have to attend a party tonight at the palace you will be meeting the most well known people in all of Kalos. And you are the newest rave among the people of Kalos."

"I'm not going"

"You don't have the option this could win back some supports for your father"

"……Fine what do I have to do?" Hannah's faced tensed after saying that as Edward had touch one of the scars with a swab covered in medicine.

"Well first you're going to let me clean up these these injuries then we'll talk." The medicine stung against her skin. Edward stared at her arm. "Mind telling me were you got those scars?"

"No of your damn business"

"Why not?" Edward said not looking up.

Hannah fell silent. He finished the left arm and moved on to the right. "So young master are you going to answer me or not?"

No words could tell the story each of those scars told. "My mother or the women that raised me"

Edward looked up. "What did she do to you?"

"I think you can clearly see from my arms"

"Well it looks like she cut you a lot"

"That wasn't her it was her damn Glaremeow I hated that thing"

"Bruises?"

"Most of them are from being shoved to the ground"

Edward said no more.

Hannah got changed had her morning tea. She was content for the time being. Ross and Irwin burst in. "Oh such tragedy" Ross shouted raming Hannah flat on the bed causing the tea cup to fly out of her hand and smash on the floor.

"No child should have seen the horrors you have you highness" Irwin added.

"You two were eavesdropping!?"Hannah screamed.

"Well it does get quite boring your highness" Irwin said.

Hannah grit her teeth and growled.

Ross was hugging Hannah. "Get the hell off me!"

Ross jumped off. Hannah had a really loud voice.

Hannah brushed herself off then stared at her bodyguards. "You two!" Hannah was ready to burn in the place she sat. The two leapt to her feet. "We're sorry your highness"Irwin said kissing Hannah's boot.

"Please don't tell your father on us" Ross was on her knees bowing.

Hannah slipped her boot from Irwin's grasp "Fucking disgusting"

Edward wasn't too pleased either now sweeping up the broken tea cup and Earl Gray tea. "I get that you two are from the army and got this cushy job inside the palace but you don't have to be so reckless" Edward yelled.

"Are you accusing us of being soft butler boy?"Ross yelled back.

"Says the person how accused me of not working hard because of my status" Hannah said to Ross.

"Eddie"Sebastian poked his head through the door.

"What Sebastian?"Edward said irritated.

"Shifts done"

"Oh thank heavens you clean up the problem Seb"

Edward made his way out bowed to Hannah and scowled at Irwin and Ross.

"So be polite and don't be well, you"Edward said staring at Hannah.

"Remember tonight's events could determine all of Kalos' future so be nice" Sebastian added.

They both agreed she was ready.

It was time.

Side note: lieutenant Ross and lieutenant Irwin. Ross and Irwin are their last names they are just referred to as that to mimic the army.
