Pokémon: Vampire Princess*

Chapter 54: Rosary*

I sat in my old room, hugging my legs close together, feeling cold and overwhelmed that I'm back in this prison... the tv was still on, showing a cartoon I probably watched a million times.

Everything was the same as I left it. Even the box I received for my birthday was still here. What the worse thing was, was that I could still smell Layla's blood outside this door. Not to mention that when I entered the castle for the first time since I left, I noticed the side of a face at the end of the hallway. Tanner looked away from it after I questioned him with my expression. It only made me wonder if there was someone there that was watching me leave before. The more I thought about it, the more stressed I felt.

"Get me out of here..." I gritted my teeth, unable to stand being in this room "Get me out!" I shouted above my lungs and lunged at the door, kicking it and pulling it with all my might. My strength was enough to crack the door, but it wasn't enough. I got tired and sat on my bed "I swear, when I get out of here... it's over for you demons" the doors suddenly unlocked. I quickly stood up and listened to the last lock unlocking.

"Yannie!" Malva sang. I groaned and sat down again, not wanting to deal with her right now "May I come in? I just want to talk"

"Come in here and I'll rip your head off" she giggled at my threat.

"Yeah, I like to see you try" she opened the door and let herself in like no ones business "How does it feel to be back in your old room-" I threw my pillow at her. Her caught it, not even phased "that was fast! I almost didn't catch it!" She chuckled "That unique blood type from that boy looks to work perfectly" she looked around the room "I was on a mission to find as many rare blood types as possible. The closest one was in Vaniville Town. If you had not escaped, my mission would have had me take him and be your toy. Just to see what would happen" I gulped, unable to imagine if I didn't leave sooner and how I would meet Xavier in this room instead of his home town.

"I guess fate keeps finding a way to bring us together" I said to myself and looked at Malva leaning on the wall "What do you even want? Are you here to make fun of me? Since you're plenty good at that" she giggled.

"Well, for one thing... I just want to welcome you back home" I groaned "you know, you seem to impress me every day. You've killed two leaders and killed many of the population that were bonded with them, as well as the human and Pokémon who were using their blood. Not only that, you actually managed to kill a Duplicate and even bond with almost every single council member!" She laughed "and even lastly, you're the big hero who destroyed big, bad Team flare"

"Your point?" I asked.

"You've impressed me so much that I'm willing to give you a choice here" she shrugged her hands "I can only guess that you bonded with the council for a reason, so I'm willing to encourage this" I blinked confused "You want to fight us, don't you?" I didn't respond, just stared at her amused expression "Humans are such interesting creatures... I'll leave this door unlocked for you. Come to every chamber of every elite four member and come face us head on" she faced the door and lifted the arm with a hand mark on it that I caused "You seem to be able to defeat us if you're able to do this to me"

"Why..? Why are you helping me?" She chuckled and turned her head to me, not her body.

"I'm not exactly helping you. I'm just so fascinated in the change of this world. Humans fear us, and we took over by creating a nation of vampires who held our blood. We cut off any human emotion in them our queen holds in her body. Things were made just like we wanted to. An ordinary human wouldn't be able to change the world, even if there are talented hunters out there. In the end, a human came this far and took control of her kingdom" she smirked a little "not only that, she's a vampire princess. One who holds her mothers caring heart that thrives to help others. I became a member of Team Flare, just to see what may happen. Your big heart was strong enough to take on the machine that killed millions. I can't wait to see what you'll be able to do next" she walked out the door, leaving it open. I sighed and stared at my room, wondering how I can possibly do anything against the Elite Four with my own two hands.
