Chapter Seventeen: A possible case...

Lillian's POV

"So Liv do you know anything about Silas Mikaleson?"

I asked my little sister through the phone.

"I'm surprised that you don't know him since you're best friends with Aracel."

Said Olive.

"Aracel never mentioned him to me."

I said.

"Well he's a good friend of mine. He and I get along pretty well. He's a little bit of a flirt though so that gets annoying after a while but don't be fooled you do not want this guy as your enemy. Trust me. Did you know that he had a thing for Thania for a while."

Said Olive.

"Ew! Calem would never let him get near her if he knew what Silas did to Lusamine."

I said.

"Yeah that's typical of him if you're an enemy of his trust me Lil I'm glad you're on his good side. He completely ruined Cynthia and framed her for some sort of theft just because she knew something bad about him and now she was put behind bars. They eventually proved her innocence and released her but her life is ruined. She lost everything! She lost her home, her Pokemon, her money, her fame, everything! She has nothing! She's probably living on the streets somewhere."

Said Olive.

"Liv why are you friends with this guy he sounds like a total douch-"

"Watch your language!"

Said Lexie who was sitting next to me.

"Sorry he's a jerk. So why are you still friends with him?"

I asked Olive.

"It's better to be his friend than his enemy Lil do not try anything with him. It just sounds like Lusamine is someone he enjoys to make miserable I don't think he's out to ruin her but if you do something to double cross him he will ruin you! You could be Cynthia even her family has abandoned her! I don't want that to happen to you."

Said Olive.

"Liv I'll be supper careful I promise. Do you think that he'll be horrible to Lusamine forever?"

I asked.

"No she's no threat to him so he'll forget his weird vendetta he has with her after a few weeks. I promise he's too self absorbed to think about anyone but himself."

Said Olive.

"Thanks Liv I'll be careful."

I said.

"Hey Lil I have to go but do say hi to Alec for me."

Said Olive in a flirty tone.

"You're such a dork Liv I know you secretly like him."

I said while gigging.

"What can I say?! I have a thing for brown eyed blondes. Later Lil."

Said Olive hanging up.

I nodded and I wasn't so worried anymore but I still needed to check on Lusamine so I headed to the dressing room to see if they were there.

Third Person POV
Cynthia sat there huddling in the corner in an old dark ally. She made sure to stay out of sight from other people.

Even though she was proven innocent and the crime was committed by some Neo Team Rocket member, people hated her even though she was innocent.

She no longer hated the Mikaelsons but she feared Silas in particular. Aracel Mikaelson took her title.

Cynthia complained about losing her title and she made Aracel her enemy and she regretted it because now she doesn't have a penny to her name and having enemies was the last thing she wanted.

Losing her title doesn't sound as horrible as it did to her back then two years ago. Cynthia wished she hadn't taken what she had for granted because now everything was gone.

Aracel only took her title but Silas took everything from her. She literally had nothing. She should've just kept her nose out of Team Galactic's secret affairs.
She knew that they've decided to make a partnership with Neo Team Rocket.

Cynthia wished that she hadn't overheard Silas's conversation on the phone.

Just because she was at the wrong place at the wrong time she lost everything she ever cared about.

She had no money everything was gone and it all happened within the span of a few weeks just because she heard something she shouldn't have.

Everything she ever loved gone at the blink of an eye and Silas doesn't feel a tinge of guilt.

She regretted all the mean things she's said and done to Aracel now that she had time to think about it.

She knew that she had been foolish. It was just a title and if she hadn't have thought that she was the best and nothing would ever happen to then maybe she wouldn't have lost everything.

Cynthia vowed that she would never complain about a meal not being to her specifications because she would eat anything anyone have her since she hadn't anything to eat for the past few days.

Cynthia was luckily able to get water. She found a huge stack of bottled waters hidden behind the huge garbage can in the ally that she slept in. The water seemed totally fine and drinkable.

She would never understand why people would waste a case of water and just leave it there but she wasn't complaining she was great fun that she at least had water which was much more vital than food.

Cynthia was hoping that someone had dropped a twenty dollar bill on the streets so she could pick it up and use it to buy food.

She was lucky that she had on a black hoodie so she could hide her face from society since she was seen as an outcast.

Cynthia's black sneakers squealed on the pavement was she got up and put the black hood over her head.

She brushed off all of the dirt and dust off of her baggy jeans. They used to not be so baggy but since she could barely get food she had lost a ton of weight.

Her grey eyes lit up when she saw a fifty dollar bill on the ground. She quickly snatched it up off the ground and made a run for it with the dollar bill in her hand.

Cynthia was now very happy that she had money to buy food. She slipped the fifty dollar bill into the pocket of her black hoodie and she slipped her hood back and headed for the store.

Cynthia knew that she would have to ration her food but she knew that ahead of time as she walked into the store. The store clerk gave her a weird look.

Cynthia knew that she probably looked horrible. Her hair was tangled and it was chopped off unevenly and reached just bellow her chin.

Cynthia had several cuts and bruises on her cheeks and her clothes were covered in dirt and dust and her shoes had several holes in them.

"Miss do you have a place to stay? Or are you a passing by trainer? I could direct you to the Pokemon center."

Asked the clerk,

"Y-yes I am."

I said while lying.

Cynthia regretted lying to him but She didn't want to give away her identity this man might kick her out of the store if he knew who she really was.

"Mam where did you get that money?"

Asked the clerk.

"It's mine."

She said.

"Do you have any ID or proof of residence? Do you have a trainer card?"

Asked the man.

Cynthia was almost in the brink of tears and she began to shake.

"No I don't."

Said Cynthia quietly.

"Mam where are you from and how did you get here?"

He asked.

"I-I'm from Sinnoh and I traveled here by plane."

"Mam I hate to judge you by your appearance but you don't look like you could afford a plane ticket let alone have fifty dollars in cash in your pocket. Did you steal this money."

He asked.

She gulped and tears began to pour out onto Cynthia's cheeks.

"N-no. I found it on the streets and no one picked it up so I did."

She said quietly.

The man stared at her and he looked like he wasn't sure what to say.

"Mam how did you really get here?"

He asked.

"I'm not lying when I said I came by plane. I-I lost everything when I got here and my family doesn't even want me back because I'm probably just some big disappointment to them because they refused to return my calls. I have no Pokemon, and I have no ID or proof of residence because I don't have a home I even lost my home back in Sinnoh. I have nothing. Everything I've owned ever is gone and I haven't had anything to eat in three days and I'm very hungry. I only have water and that's it and I have no idea what city I'm in I just wandered here so I could get away. I finally found some money do I was going to buy some food but I know this money isn't mine and I shouldn't have taken it but I'm desperate."

Said Cynthia while bursting into tears.

Cynthia knew that she had left out the part about Silas taking everything but she had no proof when she had called her family and they thought she was crazy even her little sister Annie refused to believe her.

"Mam.... I don't know what I can do..... You should turn that money you found into the police station because it doesn't belong to you. Here take this."

Said the clerk handing Cynthia a bag of apples.

"I-I didn't pay for them I can't take these from you sir."

She said in shock.

"It's on the house just take them but promise me that you'll turn in the money that you found into the police station."

Said the clerk.

"T-Thank you. I will."

Said Cynthia.

Cynthia ran back into the ally and hid the apples behind the huge garbage can where the bottled water was.

She walked over to the police station and froze in horror when she saw Aracel standing there.

Cynthia didn't want Aracel to she her at her worst but she had made a promise to turn in that money and that man had given her the apples so she had to turn in the money.

Cynthia walked up to the counter and stood next to Aracel who was waiting patiently at the desk for something and she was standing next to a women in her your twenties.

She had long pink and yellow hair and it was down at one length and reached to her hips. She was wearing a red long sleeve shirt and black sweat pants with black sneakers.

"Do you have a man named Guzma Mikaelson here?"

She asked.

"Yes are you family?"

Asked the officer.

"I'm his niece."

She said.

"Make sure he stays out of trouble!"

Said the Officer un cuffing a man with messy white hair wearing sweat pants and a black jacket.

"What on earth is wrong with you Uncle Guzma!"

Shouted Aracel.

"This jerk was harassing Plumeria and he was asking for it!"

Shouted Guzma.

"Guzma I can handle myself! I don't need you to fight my battles for me!"

Shouted the other girl while stomping off.

"Plumeria wait!!!"

Shouted Guzma trying to chase after the girl.

"No you're staying right here and you're going to explain to me what happened!"

Said Aracel.

"Okay Okay fine! On the flip side I bought Gladion gift!"

Said Guzma pulling out a TM out of his pocket.

"Quit changing the subject Umcle Guzma this I serious I can't keep bailing you out!"

Shouted Aracel.

Cynthia sighed and walked up to the officer. The officer gave her a look up and down and she had a concern expression on his face.

"Hello may how Amy we help you?"

He asked.

"I found the fifty dollar bill on the streets and I've come to return it."

Said Cynthia.

"Mam most people would just keep the money why did you turn it in you look like you desperately need it."

Said the officer.

"It was the right thing to do."

Said Cynthia.

"Young lady do you have a place to live?"

Asked the officer.

"I-I-"

"You shouldn't lie to a police officer. Now tell me do you have a place to live."

Asked the officer.

Cynthia stood there and tears streamed down her face and she looked away from the officer.

"No... No I don't have a home and my family left me."

Said Cynthia while crying.

"And how old are you?"

Asked the officer.

"Eighteen..."

"What's your name?"

"I-I can't tell you.."

"No lying... Lying to an officer is a crime."

"It's Cynthia."

She said in a hushed voice.

The officer's eyes widened and he looked at her.

"Shouldn't you be back in Sinnoh? You were proved innocent."

He said.

"I have nothing I have no money! I lost everything that day! I can't afford to even feed myself! Let alone a plane ticket back to Sinnoh and besides that's the lasts place I want to go! My family never answered my calls and they didn't even send me now y or anything to live off of so I'm just out of luck and have nowhere to go!!!"

Shouted Cynthia while bursting into tears.

The officer scowled at her and have her an unsettling look.

"Mam relax please get ahold of yourself please. Do you have any close friends you can stay with?"

He asked.

"No they all turned away from me. I have no one... It's just me by my self."

I said Cynthia quietly.

"Well I can't just let you hang out in the streets! You're more likely to get attacked that way! And plus how do we know that you're not a thief?! I'm sorry but we're going to have to lock you up!"

Said the cop.

Cynthia's eyes widened she didn't want to be liked up for something she didn't do again.

"But sir I didn't steal anything! What proof do you shave that I'm a thief you can't lock me up without proof and I am legally an adult I'm fully capable of taking care of myself!"

"In Sinnoh! In Coordeleana you are still considered a minor until you're twenty-one! Miss I'll have to lock you up because I can't prove that you're not out there committing any thefts!"

"But sir I turned in the money that I found! I didn't steal it I promise!"

"This isn't preschool we can't swear on a stack of pinkies or promises! This isn't candy land! Mam you don't even have any ID to prove who you are or where you came from! How do I even know that you're Cynthia?!"

Cynthia took her hood down and revealed her face causing everyone around to stop and stare at her in shock. She could tell that they were hateful glares and it made her uncomfortable.

Then she saw Aracel standing there in shock with Guzma. Cynthia was too embarrassed for words. She quickly put her hood back on and her face grew red from embarrassment.

"Okay I guess that proves it but that doesn't prove that you didn't take the money!"

"Why would I turn it in if I had stolen it?!"

"To get some sort of reward! I know how homeless kids like you work!"

"I'm not a kid!"

"You're not in Sinnoh anymore! Now come with me and we'll make this quick and easy."

Said the officer.

Cynthia began to burst into tears.

"Wait what if I were to take her in? You make sure she stays out of trouble."

Cynthia turned around to see Guzma with his hands in his pockets.

"Weren't you just arrested for getting into a fight."

Said the officer.

"Come on officer this is my first offense and to be fair the man was harassing my pretty lady friend."

Said Guzma winking at plumeria.

Plumeria slightly turned a bright shade of red then turned away.

"Okay fine but if we see her out on the streets again we'll arrest her since she has no identification."

Said the officer Guzma nodded and looked extremely shocked.

"Hey are you okay?"

Asked Guzma.

Cynthia only nodded because she was too shocked for words she couldn't help but remain silent yet still in total shock.

"Uncle Guzma we aren't actually taking her in are we?"

Asked Aracel.

Guzma sighed and pulled Aracel aside.

"We're not leaving her you heard what he said. You wouldn't wish something worse upon her! You may not like her but you wouldn't want to make her suffer?! I know you wouldn't want her to suffer not matter how much you hate her."

Said Guzma.

"You aren't wrong but it's going to be supper awkward letting my former enemy stay in my house."

I said.

"You know Silas had a role in this. Lillian knows about Silas she met him at the mall and he's now terrorizing Lusamine. Lillian called me not too long ago and she isn't too happy that you didn't tell her about Silas. Not in the slightest bit. Why didn't you tell her about him?"

Asked Guzma.

"Because I didn't want her involved with someone like him!"

Said Aracel while crossing her arms.

"Well let's get Cynthia cleaned up and settled and then we'll meet Lillian at the house in about an hour for Gladion's surprise party."

Said Guzma.

"Okay fine...."

Said Aracel while sighing.

Guzma and Aracel turned around and saw Cynthia slowly walking away.

"Hey Cynthia I meant it when you said you're coming with us. Until we find you a place to stay."

Said Guzma.

Cynthia looked at Guzma and she looked shocked.

"A-are you sure?"

Asked Cynthia.

"Kid I'm not just going to sit there and leave you out here it gets cold at night and I know you probably haven't slept in a warm bed in a while."

Said Guzma.

"Thanks that's very nice of you."

Said Cynthia quietly.

"Well then let's head back home and get you fed and cleaned up."

Said Guzma.

Cynthia only sat there quietly but was happy that she had a place to stay for a little while but was scared because she staying in her former enemy's house.... Aracel looked at Cynthia and she had a feelings me that Lillian might have a new case already...
