Lapis Ward; Craudburry Residence 

 

She took a few paints from her drawer, before stuffing them in her suitcase, before checking them off from her list. Her Noibat was resting on a pillow, while looking to it's young trainer.

"Hmm... I have almost everything. What did I forget? Wha- Ah! The First Aid Bag!", she said in surprise, as she went to a box and took some bandages, creams and plasters out and put them in a small blue pouch, before it went packed inside too. Making sure, it was all in, she checked on her list again and smiled, when she ticked the last off.

 

"So, that's it. I finally going to be free from her. Mother- no-... She will never have control over... my life. No more crying..." she quietly said, before she felt her own tears coming out from red eyes; instantly ran on her bed and fell right into her pillow, sobbing. It was coming again. The memory, what happened 3 days ago and also which made her decided to depart today.

 

 

3 days ago

 

Elena let out a yelp, as her mother's palm connected with her left cheek, causing her to stumble backwards and fell on the floor. She just gazed upon, before met with a kick to the gut and getting stomped hard on her body.

 

"Mother! Please stop hurting me! Please, please! I'm sorry!", she cried out in pain, as she clutched her stomach; trembling and silently sobbing at her anger.

 

"BE QUIT, YOU LITTLE DIRTY BRAT! I DON'T NEED YOUR FUCKING SASS ABOUT COMMANDING ME! HOW DARE YOU SCARE OFF MY CUSTOMERS! NOW MY DEAL IS RUINED THANKS TO YOU!!", a older woman in the middle of her 40's with slightly grey hair and black eyes. She wore a purple and pink luxurious dress and a purple hat, which both were stayed in some dirt. Her expression was very angry and demonic in the same time.

 

She smashed a few glass and a vase on the floor in pieces, before turning towards her daughter, who curled herself into a ball. She went her and grabbed her by her arm, jerking her on her feet, which made Elena cry out, only to meet with a punch her face. She began to cry in pain, as she felt the pressure against her.

 

"Ow ow ow. M-mom, please", she begged for a release, but only winced in pain, as Craudburry's tighed her grip on her arm; her sharp fingernails digging into her skin. Soon she felt her chin being grabbed, forcing her to look into her mother's cold eyes.

 

"Stop crying, you pathetic scum! It's all your fault, that my life is now ruined for 13 years, you are living and breathing my air!!! Had he didn't come and took me away for decades and have you, I would've now been MUCH BETTER than THAT! It that CLEAR?!", she slammed the girl into the wall, before grabbing her face with a distance of a few inches between them, which frightened her very much, causing Craudburry to grin in a sadistic glee.

 

Elena simply wanted to go straight to her room and talk to her Noibat, who she hide in her wardrobe to shield it from her mother's wrath. Wanted to avoid her as much as possible. Just wanted to be swallowed into the ground and die already.

 

"Y-yes... Mom-...*sob*", the poor girl couldn't bring out any words, as she was terrified to the core by her mother's state. This earned her another slap and she felt a cold sharp pain against her neck. At the corner of her eyes, she could regonatized it as a small sharp knife.

 

"Did I allow you to cry, huh? What a beautiful crybaby! A pathetic piece of shit, he inflicted on me! Now tell me, what is you place and who you are? Speak or I'll split your ugly disgusting face!", Craudburry grinned like a maniac.

 

"That I should not crying and I'm a useless piece of scum, that ruined you live ma'am. I'm not even allowed to interact with others, because I have filthy blood and I'm a filth of a bastard. Not a daughter with pure blood", she said in a monotone, while keeping a emotionless expression; she always put as a mask, in order to avoid worse punishments or hide her emotions in public, when being in Lapis Ward. 

 

"That's a good scummy slave", the wicked woman smirked, letting her go from her grasp and put her knife into her handbag "That's your only purpose in your life. Being a helpless Houndor on it's four begging. At on your 14th birthday, I'll sold you to a friend of me as a slave, because I hate you and want you to suffer for being born! Ahahahahaha~", her laugh pierced the girl into her heart. Elena still remained silent and expressionless on a sitting position, while looking at her with blank eyes, fearing she would strike her again.

 

"Now have fun till you next birthday and do all the chores, cause Mommy has to do IMPORTANT stuff to do for 3 days. Make sure EVERYTHING is clean till than~ Have a shitty day!", she said in a sickly sweet mock tome and went outside, slamming the door close and you could hear her laughter much louder than before.

 

Once she was far away and everything went quit for a few seconds, the 13 year old bolted to her room, which was in the west direction of the house and tossed herself on her bed, letting out a heartbreaking cry.

 

(Flashback ends)

 

 

Tears have already soaked the pillow, as Elena recalled that awful memory from a plethora of worse memories in her childhood. Why did her mother hurt her like that? Why does she hate her? Was it really her fault? She felt very confused and has so many questions for finding a reason. Even asking her for just one reasoning, but the only answers she received were beatings and yelling, so she gave up. 

 

Her Noibat was awake from her crying and without hesitation, the Bat mon went to her side and began to pull on her red hair a bit. Elena looked up, only to greeted by its nuzzling against her face, wiping her tears away. She mustered a small smile on her face and petted it's head.

 

"Don't worry, buddy. Today were are going to be free from there. And never gonna see that bitch again", she said in determination, before getting up to finish the last preparations. After 20 minutes, she was ready; wearing a green blouse with black pants and brown boats. Her red hair was done into a bun and wore a white wollyhat. She put her suitcase on the couch, before scanning the rooms in search of her mother.

 

"Still not back. Perfect, time to go to her private room and take some real goods, she has stored there", she smirked. Normally she wasn't the type of a thief, but now she felt nothing but hatred for her own mother. She walked downstairs, where she spotted a brown door with the sign "PRIVACY", before having Noibat commanded to break it with Energy Ball. Once its done, both human and pokemon entered, they found it almost empty, expect for a table and a small cage on the top.

 

The pair came closer to examine it: It was a small caged Pidgey whose body is covered in bruises and cuts. It looked sad and hurt, which caused Elena's blood boil with anger. Her "mother" had probably bought it from the infamous 7th Street, a hidden black market, where she once sold her beloved Skitty and Eevee there and never saw them again.

 

"Poor thing... Don't worry, I'll get you out now. Noibat use Cut on this lock", she commanded, as it followed her order. As soon she opened the small door, the Bird Pokemon hopped out and nuzzled her chest in gratitude, which she hugged it back. Then the Normal/Flying Pokemon pointed with one of its wing and a small velvet box was next to the cage. Out of curiosity she opened it and saw a Mega Ring Stone with a Pidgeotnite Stone.

 

"So mother caged you inside and wanted to do some illegal shit  right?" she asked it, which earned her a nod for as an answer. This made Elena hate her mother much more than before; often reminded her about the loss of her only to friends back then, but now she decided to protect her Pokemon. 

 

"Hey, how about you join me and Noibat here. We are gonna break from this prison and start a new life far away from that old hag. Now let's go" She smiled at Pidgey, who in answer happily sat on her left shoulder. Elena grab the box and put it in her bag, before heading to the living room, took her suitcase and went outside. She turned around to see the greyish white building- she had spent 13 years of hell- for the last time, before ruining till the bridge, which was connected to the North Obsidian Ward.

 

 

I'm free... I'm finally free!!!

Forget Fern, the old bag is way worse. Good for Elena to finally step up and out of the house!

Will this be a written run? That would be amazing and I'd love to see how you go forward with this story.
