~Paige's pov

I don't know how long I sat huddled in the corner of the van but it must of been hours. They'd taken all my Pokemon before shoving me in here so I was completely alone in the dark.

Did I mention I was afraid of the dark?
No? Well I am. So the trip was really really scary for me.

First, I'm going back to the place that I'd been taken to after I was kidnapped and where I was for seven years. Second, Ghetsis had threatened me on multiple occasions that he'd make me regret it if I even dared try to escape. Third, I didn't even have my Pokemon with me. Forth, it was dark.

I sighed and leaned my head against the back wall. It was all my fault. If I'd just listened to Samurai and calmed down a little then I wouldn't of been alone when passing the ally, I wouldn't of been alone when I was attacked, I wouldn't be alone now.

Stupid sugar rush.

I shifted my position so that my legs were tucked underneath me so I could try and wriggle out of the ropes holding my hands behind my back. I pulled and tugged and twisted until my wrists were to sore to move. Plus my arm was still sore from when I was pinned against the wall and from when I'd fallen.

I rested me head against the wall again. What would happen once Ghetsis had me back? Would they hurt me? Possibly kill me?

I knew Ghetsis was cruel and he would keep his promise about making me regret it if I ran away.

Maybe it would of been better if I had just stayed. Sure, things were bad but... oh who am I kidding... I hated every day I spent in that hell hole. All I ever wanted was out and I took the first chance I got which resulted in two weeks of freedom.

The best two weeks I've ever had.

Meeting Jake and Milly, seeing Kay again, hatching Miku, Catching Gummie and Nyuu, training with Jake and my Pokemon.

I can't even remember the last time if had that much fun. I had more fun in two week then in the past seven years...

And now it was over, for good most likely.

Ghetsis would most likely make sure I'd never ever get out again. I'd never see the sky or grass or flowers or feel the fresh autumn breeze through my hair. I may never even see my Pokemon, my friends, ever again.

I didn't know I was crying until a tear drop landed on my knee but I was unable to wipe it away due to my hands being tied behind my back.

What had I ever done to deserve this? Why was this happening to me? All I'd ever wanted was a family, someone to love me and for seven years all I had was Samurai, Gardenia and N, recently Jake, Milly and Makayla to. Now I may never see any of them again. Maybe N from time to time but... I wanted more.

The van bumped over something, throwing me against the back wall, my sore arm crashed against the wall making me groan in pain. This was defiantly gonna bruise.

I steadied myself as best I could with my arms stuck behind my back but it wasn't easy.

Would Jake, Milly and Kay even look for me? It seemed that I only ever caused them trouble.

But Jake had promised.

Arg, all I was doing was confusing myself and making this whole trip worse then it already was. They'd come for me. I know it.

Hours later the van finally stopped and I knew we were finally back. I pushed myself further into the corner, whispering in fear. I heard the front doors opened and slammed shut. I heard two voices of two people outside walking next to the van but were to quiet for me to hear properly.

The door swung open, I flinched as the bright light momentarily blinded me but after my eyes adjusted I saw the same dark hair person who'd caught me.

She had black hair and dark red eyes. A think coat of cherry red lipstick on her lips and she was in an elite Team Plasma outfit. (A/N I made up the elite team plasma thingy. It's basically a higher form of grunt.) She looked a little taller then Jake but not much older.

I shuffled back a little timidly, my eyes wide in fear.

She smirked and jumped into the back of the van, grabbing me roughly by my sore arm. "Come on runt... Hehe that name suets you." She snickered.

I flinched a little but just looked away. It was over, what point was there in fighting it?

She pushed me roughly out of the van making me fall again and graze my elbow since I was unable to use my arms to steady myself.

The girl snorted. "Wow you really are pathetic and weak, runt."

I bit my lip to hold back the tears. She already thought I was weak, I didn't need her to see me crying as well.

She pushed me through the doors of the of the castle I had spent the last seven years of my life at and down the endless halls of the place I'd last seen two weeks ago. The halls quickly became familiar and I figured out where I was. We stopped in front of a room I knew well and she pushed me in.

Everything was how it was before I last left my room. Apart from one small detail that sent chills of fear through my body, the long cruel looking chain and single hand cuff that now hung from one wall next to my bed.

The elite grunt saw me staring at it with wide eyes and snickered. "Lord Ghetsis doesn't what anymore runaways so he made a little adjustment to your room. Let's try it out shale we runt."

The ropes were cut from my wrists and she roughly dragged me over to the chain snapping the cuff over my right wrist before I could even react.

She then pushed me to the ground, laughing as she left. "Ghetsis will be along shortly runt." She snickered before leaving, slamming the door and locking it behind her.

I pushed myself up and sniffed as tears started falling again. I pulled myself onto my bed a buried myself under the white covers.

I cried and cried under there completely terrified of everything. She was right I was pathetic. I was weak. I was runt. It was all I'd ever been.

Hours must of passed before I finally heard something coming outside. I was scared, tired and hungry and I wasn't sure who it was so scratch being scared, I was terrified.

There was a gentle knock on the door.

Wait... Only one person even knocked on my door before they entered.

Sure enough the door opened slowly and N peeked in. He saw me watching fearfully and sighed a little, looking upset and disappointed as if he was hooing he wouldn't find me here.

I jumped out of bed and went to run to him, forgetting about the chain on my arm.

It pulled me back by my sore arm when I got to its maximum length and made me fall on my butt. I sniffed back my tears while looking down at my hands in shame, trying not to start crying again.

I felt two arms wrap around me gently and I looked up to see N's grey-blue eyes staring back at me. He pulled me into his arms and carried me back to my bed before sitting me on his lap.

"I came as soon as I heard. You're not hurt are you?" N said worriedly.

I raised my hand to my sore arm, where a large bruise was already forming on the upper part of my right arm.

N looked concerned as he gently rubbed it. "Does this hurt?"

I shook my head and rested it on his chest. I stared at the grey chain clasped around my right wrist like a Kelfki that found a lost key to claim as its own.

N's eyes wondered to the chain as well and he fiddled with something in his pocket. He found what he was looking for, a small silver key.

He placed it into the lock of the cuff and unlocked it, the grey mettle falling uselessly to the ground.

"Better?" He asked with a small smiled.

I nodded and closed my eyes, feeling safe in his arms. N was gently rubbing my sore, right arm making it feel a little better.

After a few minutes of silence N finally spoke. "There's something I need to tell you Paige, but I don't want you to interrupt until I finish. Alright?"

I nodded, raising my head and opening my ways to look at the guy I'd always seen as a brother.

"Well I'm guessing you've heard about Team Plasma and how they plan on freeing Pokemon and how Ghetsis starting it all?"

I nodded, feeling slightly confused on where this was going.

"Well you see... I'm there king. I-I just thought you should know... But I promise you Paige I never ever wanted you to get hurt or end up back here... You see the whole reason you were brought here was to be the princess of Team Plasma. Someone who'd talk to people about the problems of people and Pokemon but since you can't speak Ghetsis found you worthless and planned on getting rid of you, but I wouldn't let him. I would never let him hurt you."

I blinked a few times in surprise. So N was the leader of the organisation that had kidnapped me seven years ago? Did that make N bad? But he said he never wanted to hurt me... He stopped Ghetsis from hurting me in fact... So he was good?

Of course he's good. What am I thinking? He took care of me for seven years.

"I'm going to get you out of here Paige. I promise, but I need you to trust me and give me time alright?" He said quietly after a moment.

I nodded again and looked up at him, managing a small smile in thanks.

"I need to go now, but I will make sure that you and your Pokemon are taken care of."

I nodded again and looked down at my hands again.

"You'll be alright Paige, I promise."

~Jake's pov

The moon shine brightly high in the sky illuminating the silenced city of Driftvale. I swear we've searched this city from top to bottom with not a trace of Paige. No one had seen the truck come or go. It had just vanished and so had Paige.

I shoved my hands in my pockets and walked back to the Pokemon centre. We'd try again tomorrow if Milly and Kay didn't have any luck.

~Nin ninjask?~ Swift asked from my shoulder.

I can't understand Pokemon so I didn't know what she was saying but I think she was asking about Paige. The two of them had become close over the past two weeks.

I sighed and shook my head. "I don't know where she is." I said more to myself.

~Jask.~

I shook my head and entered the silent Pokemon centre. I returned Swift and handed my five tired Pokemon to Nurse Joy once inside. They'd fought the Team Plasma grunts hard and won but the van had gotten away before we could do anything about it.

Nurse Joy accepted my Pokéballs and put them into her healing machine. It dinged a few times and Nurse Joy handed me back my Pokéballs.

"Thank you for waiting, please come again." She said flatly.

I just nodded and clipped my Pokémon back to my belt before returning to my room that I was meant to share with Paige as well and Milly and Kay but now it was just me, Milly and Kay.

Makayla and Milly were both already in the room talking quietly but looked up when I entered.

"Any luck?" Milly asked quietly.

I shook my head. "None."

"Me neither." She said softly.

"Someone told my they might have seen the van driving towards Icirrus city, but it could of been any black van." Kay said with an edge of hope. "I'm such an idiot. That's the second time I've let her been taken." She said quietly, hanging her head in shame.

"Makayla, its not your fault. Paige could of gotten in plenty of trouble on her own." Milly said putting her hand on Kay's.

"But I should of tried harder to help."

"Your Pokemon fainted. There was nothing you could do."

"But there should of been. Twice Paige has been taken and twice I was there. I should of done something!"

I sat on my bed. "We were all there this time and she still ended up being taken so its not just your fault. It's all of ours."

Milly nodded. "But we'll find her. Team Plasma grunts are almost everywhere. If we can't find her then we can force one of them to tell us where she is."

Kay nodded. "Tomorrow though. I'm a little sleepy."

Milly nodded and jumped into her bed. "First thing tomorrow we'll set out to look for Paige."

I laid down in my own bed. I promised I'd protect Paige and I failed her. But I would never give up on finding her.

Never. Cause a promise is a promise and I would do my best to keep mine.
