Misery Ch.4 Goodbye...
#4 of Misery
Here's chapter 4
Here's another chapter....... Yes I know... Another short chapter, but a long time period for it... Well... It's really hard for me to write okay? Only because it's hard for me to be on my cpu, come on SF and/or write an SF story when I'm alone... And... Just other stuff... I'm sorry....
Question: Are people actually enjoying this series..? Well... It's not a series... Yet... Heh... I have another question... Is my writing fading away? Or am I getting better....? Maybe it's a little to soon to be asking that...
Well... I hope you enjoy this chapter.
One more thing: Just wanna say thanks to DarkUmbreon99 again :)
Thank you so much for helping me with my story... Without you, this wouldn't even be a story.
Riley was getting pounded on by Caleb... He wouldn't stop... Riley couldn't even breath... He just kept getting beaten senseless. Caleb would pause at times to yell at him.
"You've had enough yet? Huh?" He said, hitting him again "Let go of him" Sam and Ace quickly did what they were told, and let go of the Eevee. He just laid there on the ground, not moving "Get up..."
Riley disobeyed again. And then got ready for more abuse... Caleb continued to attack the lone Eevee. And Riley was thinking 'Just kill me already' But he wouldn't... Caleb enjoyed beating up Riley. He enjoyed watching him suffer, let alone inflict it.
After minutes that felt like hours. Caleb stopped again... He smiled over Riley "Have you had enough?" When he said that, he grinned evilly.
Riley slowly nodded, he even felt pain when he did. The group started to walk away leaving him on the ground. But Wyatt used Sand-attack... And covered the Eevee in dirt and mud. The four of them laughed as they walked away. But the fifth member, Joseph... Fake smiled... He looked back one last time. And felt guilty.
After laying there covered in dirt, mud and blood for some time. Riley got up... Barely standing "Why can't I ever have a break?" He said, coughing up blood on his paw "Shit..." He wiped his paw on his already messy fur. And began limping to the lake.
"Why do they do this to me..? Just why? Why can't they just leave me be... I wish I could die... If only they could leave me alone... To let me suffer life on my own..." He pleaded to him self.
"Nice poetry" After hearing that dark voice he knew so well. Riley looked strait up. Closed his eyes... And took a deep breath "I said I didn't wanna see you anymore" He turned to the creature... Damon.
"Nah I think I'll stay... So how was it?" He asked the Eevee.
Riley looked at him with anger "Fun, like always"
"Glad to hear" Damon began smilling. And Riley sighed "So do you wanna ta-
"Why are you here?" He interupted him. Making the creature now serious "Why not?" They stood there staring at each other for a while... Until Damon walked in the direction where the lake was. He stopped to say "Are we going to the lake or what?"
"I'm not going anywhere with you... I don't even wanna be with you" Riley claimed.
"Why..? Oh yeah, you still have to apologize... Go on. Do it" Damon replied.
"I'm not apolozing to anything! You should!" He started yelling... Hurting his lungs.
"What..? Oooh... Hehe. You're still not over that?" He said, smirking again. Riley held his paw against his shoulder "Of course I'm not over it! It was under fifty minutes ago!" He felt his lungs tense up.
"Calm your ass down Riley, You're fine. Even if it was just five minutes ago, You'd still be fine" He assured the Eevee.
"....Fuck you..." After saying that, Riley walked past his friend... But Damon wouldn't take that... He then appeared right infront of Riley. Like he just used quick attack "What was that..? You wanna say that to me again Riley?" He said, threatening him "Come on! Say 'fuck you' to me again!"
They were face to face. Staring into each others eyes ".....Fu-
Damon pushed the weak Eevee to the ground. After his back hit the forest floor. He stepped on his chest. Riley tried to fight back... Tried to fight the pain... Damon pushed down, and leaned closer to Riley "Go on... Finish your sentence" His dark voice echoed in Riley's head.
But he didn't say anything. So Damon pushed harder against him "Well...?" He was now directly over Riley. Standing on his chest, which is obviously causing him pain from the incident with Caleb earlier.
"Come on Riley... Finish. Your. Sentence" Riley knew that was gonna be his last time asking... So he did so "F..F-Fuck you..." Riley barely managed to speak... After hearing what he wanted. Damon pulled away, and began walking.
"All right Riley. If you really want me gone, then so be it... But beware... I sense darkness ahead... And I won't come to you in time of need" He stared at Riley like it was the last time... Then disappeared in the air.
Riley didn't know what to think... Damon has warned of "Darkness" before. And after everytime he has mentioned it. It would get worse and worse... So he didn't know whether to apologize now. Or just ignore it and let things happen.
He whimpered as he got up. And limped his way to the lake. Still thinking about Damon's words... Even thinking what everyone is gonna be talking about in school... The beating he got...
He stopped walking... He felt anger and sadness inside him... Pain and discomfort...
As he stood there. Sore, tired and weak... His eyes got watery. Then closed them... A tear rolled down his cheek... He felt like he just wanted to lay down and die. Why couldn't life just end that easily? If only it did...
He opened his eyes. Everything was blurry from his tears... He didn't bother wiping his face... He just carried on to the lake.
At least no one would bother him now... Damon was gone. School has already started... He can have some time alone "I'm not going back... Not with those assholes showing off and... Not again..."
He spent the entire walk, thinking about killing Caleb and his friends... Spreading his pain and hatred to everyone around him... But then his mom popped up. He loved her... That's why he never told her his problems... Caleb... School... Anything... He didn't want her to get involved or get distressed... So he couldn't do his wish... Whether it was killing everyone, or killing himself... He could only imagine.
Before he knew it. He arrived at the lake. He instantly saw the view of the huge open area surrounding the water. And an open field of grass instead of trees. He loved being here at night. But the only problem was that most of the Pokemon in the forest lived closer here... Which means more Pokemon, and more discomfort for Riley.
Thankfully, there was nobody around. So he walked to the edge, relieved... He put his paw in the water. Feeling how cold it was. He put another paw in, taking a step into lake. It was like a beach. It got deeper and deeper the more farther you went.
He already got used to the coldness of the water on his paws. Now his whole body was shivering. So he decided to just go in. He tried to run to the center. Ignoring the pain... He felt happy, and free. He couldn't help but smile.
Once the Eevee got far enough, he jumped strait into the deep water. And dived ten feet under pretty quickly. He sunk at the very bottom. Everything was black and blue. It was dark... Quiet... And peacful... His sore body felt relaxed in the cold, wet environment.
As Riley was enjoying himself. He didn't even think about breathing. Not until he gasped for air underwater... Filling his throat and lungs with the mucky liquid. He arched himself strait up, trying to swim to the surface. But his shoulders and legs were weak... His body ached... It just wasn't his day.
No matter how hard the Eevee kicked and pushed. He couldn't even get halfway up to the surface... Eventually he gave up. Sinking back to the bottom. He gasped for air once more... At first he felt odd pain... Now he didn't feel any... He felt relaxed... He felt... Happy.
Riley smiled again... Everything got darker... Not because he was at the bottom of a deep lake. But his life was slipping away and he could finally be at peace... The Eevee closed his eyes, and held his head back. Getting comfortable in his last moments of life.
"You all right, son?" He heard a voice say to him.
Riley coughed up murky water, holding his side from pain as he did. He looked up to see a large blue figure. As soon as he guessed it, he knew it. A Vaporeon saved him. He stopped sitting up, and laid flat on the grass 'Why...?' He thought to himself.
"You're lucky I found you. You nearly drowned" The blue Pokemon explained "Heh... If I didn't show up then-
"Then what? My wish would finally come true...?" Riley widened his eyes after saying that. Not from blurting out those words. But from who he said that to... Walter. Him and his mother were good friends. In fact... He was like an uncle to him.
"Wh..What...?" Was Walter's reply, shocked from the Eevee's words.
".....I gotta go" As soon as Riley said that. He jumped up on his feet, faster than he has ever done. And ran away as fast as he could. He felt his eyes get wattery again. He ignored it and kept running. He ignored his soreness, and kept running. He didn't even think... He didn't want to... He just..... Kept running.
After sprinting for how long, he stopped. Falling over on the forest floor. Laying there with more tears in his eyes "Why... Just... WHY" He got back up, Raising his head up in the air "Just kill me now, Arceus..! Just kill me!!" He screamed louder than ever. Hearing his voice echo.
He fell back to the ground "How can this day get any worse..." He laid there. Hoping something miraculous will happen... Just anything that could end his life. So he continued to lay there. He didn't wanna move or go anywhere... He just wanted to be dead.
It was night time now. And Riley still hasn't moved from his spot... Mainly because he was sleeping. But after a while. He woke up.
The Eevee yawned as he stood up. And stretched like a cat. He looked at his dark surroundings "Yep... Still here..." If he really wanted to die... Why couldn't he just take his own life? For years that's what he wanted to do... But tonight... It was time.
He went on his way back to the lake... This time to try to kill himself on purpose. And hoping he won't be interupted... He was thinking about it on the way there... But quickly decided to choose death... After all... It felt like there was no point in living anymore.
He finally got to the lake... The moonlight was shining over the area. The waters still, and the air is quiet. Everything seemed so... Perfect... After watching the beautiful view. He decided to do what he came here for... But then-
He saw another Eevee walking towards the lake. It was female... She looked at herself in the lakes reflection, with sadness. Turns out, she was gonna do exactly what Riley was gonna do... But what was her problem? He looked closely and realized it was no ordinary Eevee... Her name was Cassie... Riley... Loved her...
He ignored the fact and just watched. It seems like she was really intent on commiting suicide. She already took a step into the water... What should Riley do...? Should he join her? Should he stop her..? Or should he just watch, then go home.....
A few seconds later...
"Can't believe this is happening..." Riley began walking to her... Cassie hasn't noticed him yet. And each step he took, his heart was pumping. He stopped halfway... Should he continue? Or walk away while he still can..? One more step he'd take she would probably notice him...
Riley didn't know what to do...
