Twins of Unova

*Chapter 20: Celestial🎶

"No... no! Absolutely not!" Nate glared at me when we arrived to the Celestial Tower with Professor Juniper "You are not going in that tower!"

"Huh?!" I complained "why not?! It's a tower! Full of ghost Pokémon!"

"Exactly! If you go in there, you might end up getting another ghost type!"

"What's wrong with that?!" He pointed at the tower.

"Ghost types are dangerous! I don't care how much they like you, I don't want anything happening to you!"

"That's not your decision to make!"

"So what?! I'm your guard! I have to protect you!" I groaned.

"Once we find Rosa, you will no longer be my guard, which means you can't tell me how to live!"

"I'm not trying to tell you how to live! I'm trying to tell you to live!" I was taken back "I don't know exactly why ghost types like you, but I don't consider it a good thing... You were fine with Oricorio, and then you added Litwick! You saw the Pokédex entree... Why aren't you scared..?" I frowned at how concerned he was, but it wasn't necessary.

"I already told you..." he looked away "I'm not scared of anything. You don't have to worry about me" I held my chest "I decide what I want to do with my life. I won't be anything but a memory... A memory you don't need to remember" I looked up at the tower "I'm sorry... This is getting too far. Let's go catch up with Juniper"

"You're making a mistake, Cam. You're going to make your family sad" I smiled, hearing that over and over, but he never claimed that he will be sad.

"Don't worry... Once I'm out of the picture, even they won't remember me" I took his hand "Come on, let's go" he followed me into the tower, where Juniper was looking at a grave stone at the end of the building. This tower is so tall, so I can only imagine how many graves there are in this building.

As soon as I stepped inside, I felt surrounded by pressure. It wasn't overwhelming, but it was heavy. Not wanting Nate to worry about all the ghost types that are attracted to me, I ignored the feeling and we walked up to Juniper looking up to see us.

"Hey there you two. Skyla should be up on the roof where the bell is. Could you get her for me as I stay here?" She asked us. Without questioning it, Nate and I went up the tower, passing thousands of graves and millions of eyes watching us as we walk.

"This place is so quiet... It's nice" I said, enjoying the silence.

"If your idea of nice is being surrounded by graves, then no" Nate said, which made me laugh "We're just here to find Skyla and get out of here. I don't want you to get comfortable"

"Don't be so uptight. The dead loves the quiet, so show some respect" he huffed and pulled on my hand, making me stop walking and look at him. He looked distressed. I sighed, having enough of making him feel this way. I don't like seeing innocent people sad over what I do, so I came up to him and held his cheeks, like I did with Rosa "Nate, believe me. It's going to be okay. You can live your whole life without knowing I existed. Why are you so sad for?" He held my hand.

"Because! You deserve more! You deserve to live a life you can be happy with" I kept my smile, though it was hard to keep it.

"I can't be happy, Nate. How many times do we have to have this conversation? As happy as I am to make sure my family is okay, I'm not happy with being alive" I held his hands "Ever since my father died, I never been the same. For the things I've done, I don't deserve to live, but I stayed alive for this long so I can be strong enough to protect my family. I..." I looked down "I really hope Rosa chooses you, so that way you can protect my family in my place"
