The breeze of the wind blew leaves across a wooden sign that had the words plastered across: "Welcome To Pallet Town"
"Look Clemont we're here!" exclaimed a young girl as she started to jog to the sign in high spirits.
"Serena could you please slow down" Clemont responded as he hastily trailed behind his companion.
"Clemont we have to hurry and see if there is anyway we can be of any assistance to Mrs. Ketchum" Serena exclaimed. Serena looked over the hill and Pallet town came into view. It had been a long time since she last visit Pallet town not since summer camp. She stopped and felt a heavy weight tug on her heart strings. Images of Ash's smiling face were the last memory she had of him before he disappeared.
Clemont finally caught up to Serena and was about to chime in a response and paused and took notice of Serena's expression. He knew she was thinking of Ash. Normally Clemont would've relished the idea of traveling alone with just Serena. However it was excruciating painful given the current circumstances. Every waking moment Serena would talk about Ash and how she vowed to find him. Clemont at the same time was hurting too he understood her pain but part of him did feel jealous. However, he knew he had to be the one to comfort her no matter how much he was suffering because for Clemont Serena was the most important person in the world to him.
"Hey it's going to be alright we're going to find him" Clemont said as he gave Serena a smile and a thumbs up.
Serena shook her head and dusted off her skirt and readjusted her hat.
"Yeah!" Serena exclaimed as she and Clemont gaze over to the horizon overlooking Pallet Town as the wind roared in the distance.
...
How many days has it been? That was the thought that occupied Ash as he was awoken up again by the sounds of cheerful singing. He stumbled out of bed and walked slowly and looked at himself in the mirror. He did not recognize himself. His face was pale and his eyes seem hollow. He had bags under his eye due to all nights that he spent with Cynthia. He was a bit thinner now and there were bite marks all around his neck from the times Cynthia had gotten carried away. Images of the previous night emerge. He shuddered and felt his heart rate go up he started to feel himself hyperventilate.
Images of Cynthia's nude body and her cold gray eyes and that sinister smile flash through his mind.
"Ash sweetie!" Cynthia called out completely knocking himself out of his trance. He knew that if he didn't come down in the next five minutes that she was going to punish him. He quickly staggered himself out the door and clutch the handrails of the stairs as he trudged his way down the stairs.
He made his way through the dining room table and he saw her in the kitchen clothed only with an apron on as she hummed a tune and turned around and smiled at him.
"Breakfast is ready!" She said as she set a plate down of pancakes and bacon down on the table. She remove the apron leaving her bare and sat down and poured herself a glass of milk. Ash sat right across from her and he felt her eyes on him. Ash was starving and he was about to gorge his food but a cough from Cynthia stopped him from his tracks.
"Are you really going to pig out without thanking the chef?" She snapped
He did not respond because he knew if he did that would make her angry.
"T-thank you for the meal" He croaked out his voice giving away. He looked down avoiding eye contact from her.
She smiled in satisfaction but it wasn't enough for her. Nothing was never enough for her.
"I can not believe that you still do not have manners! I'm really in a bad mood right now! Make me feel better" She commanded as she spread her legs wide open from her chair.
Ash eyes widen and he was scared but nevertheless without a word he slowly crawled under the table towards Cynthia.
Cynthia took a long sip from her glass of milk and she smiled in pleasure. She chuckled for moment and then she let out a soft moan.
"Oh my! Look at who is getting better. If you keep this up you'll receive a reward."
