Damsel mostly Stressed.
What am I doing? Writing a story while I should be writing Hourglass or finishing my romance oneshot? WELL I GOT WRITERS BLOCK. and this idea was interesting... so I thought I'd force it out.

Why using Sabrina? because she's a cool Gym leader thats why >:O
Wtf is going on? o.o I got no clue! ok I do... inspired by startrek for some reason...

WARNING!!
Story is rated between PG-15 and it will most likely go into R for LIME.
Which is the actions leading up to the moment but not the moment itself, meaning I wont write the dirty junk. Go to hourglass for that, its pretty close!








Calm Mind

Chapter one:
A psychic with out control...


Rated: PG-13


The building stood calmly against a background of a busy city. While the world around the building was a fast moving bee hive at times, cars zipping past, people moving around in their daily duties, the building with the large three letters on its front... remained paused in time it seemed. No one went in or out, not in a long time at least. It used to be quite the amazing place for children of all ages. Even adults would go to test their skills when it came to the battling of Pokémon.

But now, it was quiet and almost empty, the Saffron Gym was just a shell of what it once was. Its gym leader? Oh she was still there, still running the gym. Though she no longer had her apprentices. Not after the first incident. Oh sure she claimed it was not her, but no one believed her anymore. She hadn't been quite the same... ever since... the massacre on Cannibar.

Sabrina had never been the same.

The once active devices, powered off psychic energy were off and many broken. They once were a maze of teleporting devices that would send trainers into a frenzy trying to find the real Gym Leader. But now that it seemed there were no obstacles to beat to find Sabrina and the rumor of her madness traveling about the community, many pass her gym by, as the fighting Gym next door had recently acquired a League Approval Badge of Competition.

The chair the woman once sat in was empty, the once intimidating sight she once held in it was gone. It use to be a large throne almost, built up off the ground, she would sit in it with a cocky expression and would sometimes make things float to intimidate her foes. But now it was a dust covered chair of red and gold. The room was lit darkly like always... but a single small lamp was on as a back door to the room was open, a door when closed could not be seen.

The small light flooded out slightly into the empty battle arena room. The small white lamp sat on a wood desk, papers and notices sat on the desk. Letters declaring for closure and warnings from the league. Seemed some things were not going so good for the once respected psychic. That very woman sat at the desk, her hair still straight and seemingly black, though in truth it was a very dark shade of purple. It went past her shoulders while her bangs were cut straight and un-settled, falling across the top of her forehead. Her strange almost dark pink colored eyes, close to a shade of red, scanned over a letter from an old friend, as she ignored the notices and warnings.

Sabrina was getting older. She was nearing the age of twenty seven, though she was still rather pretty if she would put on more than foundation and did not have the skin tone of a ghost she could probably be quite the catch. Her almost expressionless face proved that she was not one for social gatherings or parties and would rather be left alone to train and perfect her abilities. But while she was very much accomplishing those goals in some ways, her way of living had been squashed. Thanks to a mental flaw, something she did not know she had till too late.

She had come to the conclusion, she might have gone a little mad. But even mad people deserved better than the company of something like this.

"You know, Sabrina, this place wouldn't be so bad if you perhaps... put a freakin light in it?" The male voice rang out as it seemed that the woman was not truly alone. She did not turn her gaze, a part of her hoping it would just go away if she pretended it did not exist. Because she had been told, not just by her so called friends or doctors but herself that it did not exist anyway, she should not give it a reason too. Boy it was sure hard to ignore the existence of something when it played with one's hair.

Her hair was played with, the three fingered hands rolling themselves through it, the non- existing being even began to tie it in knots or braid it. Much to Sabrina's annoyance. But her face never broke; she never showed any real emotion as the figment of an over powerful imagination toyed with her. Finally she sighed a little and glanced over her shoulder.

"I cannot work, please refrain from bothering me." She said simply, with a strictness to her voice. She expected order, always had with anything and everything. But how do you order something that shouldn't exist?

"But Brina... I'm boooored."

"Sabrina is my proper name." Pausing in realization she was speaking to it once more, the figment grinned as he realized he had gotten her to pay more attention and had broken her train of thought.

"Ooh what's this, Brina?" The voice said as the figment which very much seemed to exist to Sabrina. As 'he' was standing right next to her, his shape and tone not that of a human being. Picking up the paper, purple eyes scanned over it. Sabrina snapped it away before he could finish. She said nothing as she put the paper in the drawer and stood leaving the room.

But she knew very well the figment was following her, not walking but just floating after her like a ghost Pokémon. But it had been proven it was no ghost, it was nothing at all... just her own mind. She had been told over and over again that it was this, that the being she saw was a result of her powers reaching a point where her mind would manifest them into a a 'being,' a second personality, a fake. Something that seemed to be taking on the emotions she had forsaken. She was really glad she wasn't truly as sarcastic and annoying as her figment of imagination.

She walked into the dusty old battle arena before heading for the only working teleportor. Which would take her to the front gate and back. Sabrina wore a ruby dress, not fancy really but modest and simple, long sleeved and wrapped around her neck. A yellow sash around her waist. Upon stepping on the four inch thick square, it lighted and within a second she found herself standing before the doors to the outside world.

"Soo, we going shopping, love?"

Sabrina ignored once more as she exited the grand wood doors and came into the sunlight. She had to shut her eyes a moment before slowly opening them, slowly adjusting before she moved off. Ignoring the large floating figure behind her as she made her way down the busy streets. Her gaze on the road ahead as she ignored the stares. As it seemed everyone knew she had gone mad. Even she knew, but like she was going to admit that and act it. She could think straight and still realize she is mad.

Which means she won't ever be truly mad. Crazy people do not know they are crazy.

"Yes, but you aren't a normal person, Brina, you are a psychic... and you may be a different kind of crazy..."

Sabrina stopped, closed her eyes and relaxed before she began to move off once more. Ignoring the being following her, just wishing she had some kind of control over it. But try as she might, it seemed it was either a subconscious part of her mind or something so powerful, a psychic ability she never mastered...

"... and here go the theories again. I keep telling you." A long deep breath. "I am real."

"And a snorlax can fly." Sabrina replied with no emotion. She ignored the weird look from the business woman that passed her by. As she heard nothing from the figment beside her and just heard what the strange woman said. Sabrina knew she thought she was a crack head... sometimes Sabrina wondered herself.

It wasn't far to her home, a small house that was apart of a chain of houses that all looked identical.

"Can your life be any MORE boring? Where is the fun? The kicks? The spazzz..."

"Spazz?"

"HA! Got you to talk to me!"

Sabrina ignored, it got quite hard to always do this though. When you rarely had anyone to talk to. One tends to pick up the habit to talk to them-self... but for Sabrina's case. It just wasn't healthy or dignifying anymore.

"Oooh... One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do."

Sabrina sighed as she took out her keys, ignoring the rest of the living about the neighborhood. She really her had no idea who neighbors were, sometimes she forgot what color was the house. She had gotten into such a pattern with this life that she knew where to go with out looking. That and she's a psychic, she knows what to do before she needs to do it. Or she use to at least. The psychic gym leader entered her home, the small entrée opened up onto a short staircase that led to the living room which also was attached to the dinning room and kitchen.

Sabrina in her earlier days could have afforded a very large home. But as it was and who she is, she was not one to spend very much and believed in using only what you needed. She had even thought of getting a smaller house. The woman went up the stairs and dropped the house keys on the wooden coffee table before going over to remove her pokeballs and sit them on a special shelf. Only taking one down and releasing the mime Pokémon.
The fat little four foot tall being said its name happily, though seemed to have a strange look of concern. Its round head and horn like ears glanced about before it walked off to do the chores Sabrina had train her to do. Mr. Mime as they were called, actually never said the mister part of it and just said Mime.

As being both male and female, Sabrina found the term 'mister' on their name quite silly indeed. She watched her mime Pokémon move off on its thin little legs before she made her way back to her room, that also served as an office. She did not notice her Pokémon watching her or that even after she turned the corner, the eyes still followed something.

'You know, if Mr. Mime weren't so ugly, I'd hit on yours, she knows how to cook and clean and is well trained.'

Sabrina couldn't help a glance at the gray and purple figment before she pulled out some of the letters she had carried with her from the Gym and began to fill them out on another wooden desk in her plain bedroom. Not any decorations at all, simple blue bedspread, only two pillows underneath. The rooms walls were white and had never been painted, the carpet being a cream color. The figment floated away from watching Sabrina and moved over to the closet, seeming to open the door or so Sabrina imagined, he withdrew what seemed to be a small doll.

"I liked it when you sat this on your bed, it added some depth to the room. Why don't you put Molly on the bed anymore?"

Sabrina's eyes glowed a bit, as it seemed her own figment of imagination had hit a sore spot. Glancing at him, her powers activating she pushed the doll out of his hands and back into the closet. Now the door had really been opened and the doll taken out. But this could easily be explained away that the figment was truly a part of her powers that developed into a new personality and her powers had opened the door and withdrawn the doll. As long as the powers never did any real harm, Sabrina would not worry and continue to show she could show some control.

But lately the figment had been moving things, touching her or so it seemed... and she hated to think that she almost thought of him, no it, as something real.

"Temper, temper, Miss Sabrina. A Psychic without control is a monster you know."

Sabrina turned back to her work sharply and began to fill out various forms and such. Ignoring the figment completely now as she just wanted to be left alone. But her wish wasn't to be granted as a loud chime went through the house, the sound that only came when the doorbell had been pushed and someone awaited in that loud noisy world called outside.

"Oh a guest! Pull your hair back, get it out of your face. Put a smile on." The figment reached his fingers around and began to pull Sabrina's hair back. "Take a shower, put perfume on, show a little cleavage-"

Sabrina stood pulling away from the being that was a part of her mind and made her way away from her room. Ignoring her Mr. Mime as she dashed about in her apron trying to straighten up the house faster. The mime's psychic powers being used to move various objects to clean. Sabrina did run a hand through her hair as she made her way down the steps, forgetting about her stalker a moment as she kept the same emotionless face.
Reaching for the door knob, she gripped it and paused a second. Her eyes glazed over barely before glowing with a faint purple light. Sabrina blinked and turned the knob with a look of surprise in her eyes alone, as her face showed no true emotion.

"Morty Shadow, what are you doing in Kanto?" she asked sharply, but it wasn't exactly mean. Just showing she was surprised, even if she was very good at hiding it. The rather handsome young man smiled as he looked up a bit at Sabrina, as she had always been slightly taller then him. His golden blonde hair was pulled back, not quite in a mullet but pretty close. A green band around his head as he wore a jean jacket over a gray shirt and normal pair of jeans. His calm yellow eyes seemed to glitter as he smiled at the rather sour faced woman.

"Nice to see you too, old friend." He said before peering around her to look inside, "You have company?"

Sabrina paused before turning and looking up, she saw her figment making a face at Morty, sticking his tongue out and well making some other rude gestures. "Just my Mr. Mime." she said before looking back at Morty. The blonde ghost trainer seemed to think a moment before shrugging it off.

"I thought I sensed someone else." He said simply. Sabrina eyes flashed for a second, looking Morty over before she just invited him in. she ignored her figment's taunts at the ghost trainer. Sabrina led her guest upstairs into the living room and offered him a seat, before asking the mime Pokémon to go make them something to drink.

Mr. Mime dashed off quickly into the kitchen with a loud, "Mime!"

Morty sat on the couch and put his feet up on the coffee table, glancing around a bit he raised an eyebrow. "I know psychics' aren't suppose to attach themselves to worldly possessions but... you had always been a decent decorator..."

Sabrina looked around the plain white room, with the same cream carpet, the couch and lounge chair were the only colored things, and they were a dull green. The coffee table with a few magazines sat in the middle and well seemed lonely as well. Sabrina ignored her little imagination figment as it floated behind Morty and began to act as if he was about to cut the man's head off.

"Just got tired of it I guess." She said simply, "I'm tired of a lot of things."

Morty took those words in before leaning forward, "... I heard the rumors. They say... the league is going to take your license away if you don't shape up your Gym and start receiving profit again. It's not true... is it?"

Sabrina sat still a moment, her strange colored eyes not looking at Morty before she turned her gaze up and gave a look that demanded respect and was very intimidating. The look she always gave when she wanted to seem strong. She was Sabrina, the most powerful psychic human being known, a feared Gym leader and a teacher to young students. She would not show that she had... such weaknesses right now. Even if it was floating around Morty and acting ridiculous.

"Things have happened, I believe I may no longer be fit to run Saffron Gym anymore. But I will continue to do my duty until a replacement is found... Morty." She took in a deep breath, "I'm retiring."

The ghost gym leader rose to his feet, "You aren't even thirty! You can't retire!" he explained, "What will become of your family's name... no, what will become of you? I heard the rumors, after the incident with the young psychic boy in the gym, but the police found no evidence and you weren't charged. Because I know you were innocent. Yet the rumors spread..." He looked around, "I can't let a childhood friend be treated like she belongs in the nut house. Something is going on!"

Sabrina rose to her feet and remained calm, clasping her hands together she said in a perfectly non-emotional voice, "Morty, yes there is something going on. What it is is my business. I have some... inner demons to deal with and I will not allow another incident before they are dealt with. If you came here to try and confront me... then leave. I don't need this, especially from you."

The room fell quiet, not only did Mr. Mime stop what she was doing but even the strange being that had been such trouble to Sabrina stopped and watched, floating about in a sitting position. Seeming quite intrigued. Morty looked at Sabrina for a long time it seemed, she looking back at him. Neither wanting to break the stare as that would admit defeat. The ghost gym leader moved forward and now stood before Sabrina, looking at her deep pink eyes before reaching his slightly tanned hands out and gripped her ghostly white ones.

"... Sabrina, I came because I care. You don't deserve to be treated like this. I... I'm your friend." He whispered.

Sabrina's emotionless face stared at him, her eyes not even blinking. Before she just slowly lied her head down on his shoulder. Not a tear or a word. Her face still that same emotionless look. Though her eyes were closed now. The young blonde lifted his arms and hugged the woman against him. "I'm sorry I wasn't here for you."

Sabrina just remained as she was, not a tear in her eye. Not a emotion to be seen. But if Morty was psychic he would probably have sensed the torn feelings, the feelings of a woman who had suppressed her emotions for too long and the feelings of a caged power... wishing to be free.

Some time passed, the two seemed to relax a bit. Just talking as they sat in the dull room on the dull coach, but they never found each other dull. Old friends always could spark up once more, but only if they had been true friends. Sharing with each other the events of the past six months, which was the exact time when Sabrina started seeing her none existing stalker. Hours passed and the two only stopped talking to help Mr. Mime prepare dinner. Though then again when meaning talking it was more of Morty talking and Sabrina listening and commenting quietly.

Morty sighed looking at the time before glancing at Sabrina, "... So you still see the psychologist?" he asked her. The psychic woman didn't look at Morty but she did nod her head. "If thats what you need, then I am glad you are doing what you think is best for you Sabrina... but don't be a stranger to old friends ok? Us gym leaders should stick together." He said as he stood, understanding Sabrina stood as well.

"Agreed. I will keep in touch." She said as she led the gym leader to her front door. The two stood their a second, both really not wanting to say goodbye. As well Sabrina felt saner when someone was with her and Morty felt she needed her. He stood there a moment before leaning forward and kissed Sabrina's cheek, a short fast kiss before he whispered a goodbye and left the room.

"You shouldn't trust him, he just wants in your pants." The annoying imaginary being said with a sharp glare.

"... Are you jealous?"

"Jealous? pffft... yes."


The train station wasn't very busy. A few rare souls here, and there.Some maintenance men were about also. But otherwise nearly empty. Morty sighed as he sat on a bench in wait. Checking his watch the train was all ready five minutes late. Morty hated trains, always late, always smelly and always have some kind of creep on them.

He should have just taken the long way, near silver mountains, but he knew he had duties to attend too. Thats why he didn't stay the night in a hotel or something. Plus he would be home before three on the train at least, joys of inventions eh? As the ghost trainer sat there he could hear the whistle of a distant train, rising to his feet he shivered and the hair on the back of his neck stood on end.

"... A ghost Pokémon?" he looked around, knowing that was the affect he got usually from that type. With a pause he blinked and realized this was no ghost. The figure stood next to him, taller and intimidating, though its features could not be made out. Eyes glowed brightly as the figure looked at Morty and seemed even though hard to see, smirked.

"I have some bad news for you." The voice rang out and Morty could have sworn he heard it before. But as the voice came he knew instantly, he was in some trouble and began to back off quickly.

"Whoa?"

The eyes flash and Morty screamed grabbing at his face. "GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!" He pushed back slamming his side into a pillar in the station. A security guard saw the screaming man and began to make his way over. But he did not see the figure that had injured him. Morty was screaming and yelling as if he was being attacked. The guard was at his side but had to get back from the thrashing man. The guard yelled for help before pulling out his cell phone to call 911.

The figure just watched, unseen, unheard... almost ... Morty heard him.

"Not that you will be able to remember this but..."

"Sabrina is mine."

Very interesting, using Sabrina is very original. Congratulations
 

Weaver

Just a 90's Blue.
Very interesting story...

Sabrina always seemed VERY bizarre to me, especially after that canon episode with the doll... *Shudders* "Come play with me..."

Anyway, I found this a very nice portrayal of her life years after success. She must have finally gone too far with her whole "setting a giant boulder on shrunken people" thing. The whole "schizoid" concept definitely creeped me out, but it's a very interesting addition to her life. And it seems that it truly is real...in a sense.

Very, very eerie -- the likes of an actual PG-13 horror movie. *Laughs* Nice job; I enjoyed it.

But...

...that was insanely littered with typos and grammatical errors. I'll let someone else do the grammatical errors (save a few), but I'll reveal some other mistakes you made.

It use to be quite the amazing place for children of all ages, even adults, would go to test their skills when it came to the battling of Pokémon.

Maybe I'm the one that's wrong, but shouldn't "use" be "used?" If I'm correct, there were many times where you would use "use" instead of "used."

She hadn't been quite the same... ever since... the massacrer on Cannibar.

"Massacrer" should be "massacre."

But now it was a dust covered chair of red and gold, the room was lit darkly like always, but a single small lamp was on as a back door to the room was open, as door when closed could not be seen.

This entire sentence is funky, but "as door" should be "a door."

Sabrina was getting older, while she was no longer in her early twenties, nearing the age of twenty seven, she was still rather pretty if she would put on more then foundation and did not have the skin tone of a ghost.

Again, this sentence doesn't sound right. You might want to read it aloud to yourself, and test out the differences between periods and commas. "Then" should be "than."

Thanks to a mental flaw, something she did not know she had tell too late.

"Tell" should be "till."

But even mad people deserved better then the company of something like this.

Again, "then" should be "than."

"You know, Sabrina, this place wouldn't be so bad if you perhaps... put a freakin light in it?"

You applied the commas to the correct spaces -- good -- but you might want to consider adding an apostrophe to "freakin," even if it isn't a real word. *Nitpicking*

Her hair was played with, the three fingered hands rolling themselves through it, the not existing being even began to tie it in knots or braid it.

"Not existing" should be "non-existing."

But her face never broke, she never showed any real emotion as the figment of a over powerful imagination toyed with her.

"But her face broke," should have a semicolon, not a comma. "A" should be "an."

"I can not work, please refrain from bothering me."

"Can not" should be "cannot," I suppose.

"Ooh whats this, Brina?"

"Whats" should be "what's."

She had been told over and over again that it was this, that the being she saw was a result of her powers reaching a point where her mind would manifest them into a 'being' a second personality, a fake.

"...a 'being' a second personality, a fake" should be "...a 'being,' a second personality, a fake." It just needs a comma.

Which means she wont ever be truly mad.

"Wont" should be "won't."

"Can your life be ANYMORE boring?

"Anymore" should be "any more." Therefore, any "MORE" boring would possibly have applied a bit more nicely...

When you rarely had anyone to talk too, one tends to pick up the habit to talk to them-self, but for Sabrina's case. It just wasn't healthy, or dignifying anymore.

"Too" should be "to." Again, sentence structure is weird.

Its round head and horn like ears glanced about before it walked off to do the chores Sabrina had train her to do.

Not sure if this is necessary, but I'd change "horn like" into "horn-like." "Train" should be "trained."

"Temper, temper miss Sabrina. A Psychic with out control is a monster you know."

Add comma to the second temper. Capitalize "Miss." "With out" can just be "without."

But her wish wasn't to be granted as a loud chim went through the house, the sound that only came when the doorbell had been pushed and someone awaited in that loud noisy world called outside.

"Chim" should be "chime."

Sabrina stood pulling away from the being that was apart of her mind and made her way away from her room.

"Apart" should be "a part," I believe.

Ignoring her fragments taunts at the ghost trainer.

"Fragments" should be "fragment's." It needed an apostrophe. This sentence is also grammatically incorrect, so try using commas to add to it instead of making a new sentence for each thing she does.

Mr. Mime dashed off quickly into the kitchen with a loud.

"Mime!"

That should be put like this: Mr. Mime dashed off quickly into the kitchen with a loud, "Mime!"

Its not true... is it?"

"Its" should be "it's."

Sabrina rose to her feet and remained calm, clasping her hands together she said in a perfectly none emotional voice.

"None emotional" should be "non-emotional." Also, a comma should be at the end of that sentence, along with her dialogue. (Similar to what I just explained with Mr. Mime.)

"Morty, yes there is something going on. What it is, is my business. I have some... inner demons to deal with and I will not allow another incident before they are dealt with. If you came her to try and confront me... then leave. I don't need this, especially from you."

"Is," doesn't need a comma. "Her" should be "here."

The young blonde lifted his arms and hugged the woman against hum.

"Hum" should be "him."

Sharing with each other the advents of the pass six months. Which was the exact time when Sabrina started seeing her none existing stalker.

"Advents" should be "events." "Pass" should be "past." Also, connect these sentences instead of making them entirely new sentences. Again, read it aloud. Again, you did the "none existing" thing.

The train station wasn't very busy. A few rare souls here and there and some maintenance men.

Use commas and additional words. Like so: The train station wasn't very busy, just a few rare souls here and there and some maintenance men.

Morty was screaming and yelling as if he was being attack, the guard was at his side but had to get back from the thrashing man.

"Attack" should be "attacked." Also, you should make a new sentence for "The guard..."

There were a few others, but I grew extremely tired at the end, and slacked off a bit. My apologies... *Wipes sweat.* That took well over an hour! (I probably messed up a bit, too.)

All in all, I think everything was pretty great -- the description, the plot, the characters, etc. The only thing I found [extremely] lacking was the spelling and grammar, and that brought it down quite a few notches. Just keep working hard, like I'm sure you do.

Weaver: There is a fifty/fifty chance I'll go through and make all those corrections. Most of them I probably could have caught if i had proof read :\ yeah I'm a slacker I guess. Anyway, thanks for the review.

If your interested in betaing XD let me know. I'll try to get a chance to read through it and correct what I can, if I catch it. I tend to get to caught up in my own writing.

Someday you blastic commas I will understand you!

edit: I have gone through and fixed what you pointed out, Weaver, thanks.


Francesc: Uh thanks o.o did I just have a baby? oh using Sabrina you mean :p

Alecat: Thanks Ale XD glad you read it.

Myuuuuuuuuu :O! yams told me you started a new fic!

I love your writing.. and this one is no exception obviously. Very mysterious and sneaky-sneaky :p Sabrina was a very interesting pick, psychic powers open up a lot of opportunities for plot I assume. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BOY/WITH HER PAST DAMMIT. I am so impatient xD Good timing with Halloween coming up too, haha.

But yeah, awesome stuff. Cant wait for more... and on the hourglass too!
 

Hahahabvc87

Always watching...
I was typing up a detailed grammar lesson for the list of corrections, but decided to take a nap and ended up falling asleep. After waking up, I see that Weaver has already posted one though...
Meh, I've got it saved up so if you need it, I can always PM it to you. ;)

At first, I thought this was a one-shot until I saw "End Chapter" at the end! That purple font really blends in with the default green background!

I liked that "figment of imagination"'s character... a lot! Seems very much like a naughty younger brother, with his playfulness and tricks and all. What he did to Morty was just plain creepy though...

About Sabrina... What a poker face. Did she overtrain or something until her facial muscles died!? Sooner or later all that pent up emotion's gotta go somewhere, and I hope it doesn't come out with a bang!

All in all, nice story, but having two ongoing chaptered fics and one uber long one shot will really stretch you thin! Hopefully you can find the time to update these frequently enough so that they don't get buried deep in the forums!

Hahahabvc87; Whenver I see your name I just want to add on going hahahahahaha... anyway.

I have gone through with what Weaver posted. But if there is more... meh I don't really care that much to do it again XD lol. This story actually wont be very long and was originaly suppose to be a oneshot. But well, there was so much more to it and I hate cliffies... soo yeah. Its going to be short though, five chapers maybe if lucky. Or not o_O who knows it may turn into another hourglass.

btw, hourglass is on hold till I get some insperation for it. Thats the problem with plotless fics...

I do plan to finish my oneshot before I update this again though.

Jess: yay for Yams. Anyway, thanks for the reivew and yes :eek: creepy. I'm not good at creepy buut I'll try. The storyline is going to move faster then hourglass though so be prepared.

Peace to the Mountain
THE FIGMENT PWNS.

He’s easily one of my favorite characters that you’ve ever made. (Oh, but don’t get jealous, Ransom. You know I still love ya. X3)

Also, you get bonus points for having Sabrina AND Morty—my favorite Kanto gym leader AND my favorite Johto gym leader—in the same place. =D

The general creepiness and Psychic strangeness factors are a big plus; I always like hearing talk of madness, massacres…all that yummy stuff. X3 There’s an element of mystery, what with the little boy that was mentioned, and then there’s also the element of Morty’s seeming ability to sense the figment. Not to mention said figment’s possessiveness of Sabrina…yes, there’s a lot of potential for interesting stuff to happen regarding those three.

Following are my favorite moments. And yes, they’re all figment-moments. He’s just that awesome. ^^

"Can your life be any MORE boring? Where is the fun? The kicks? The spazzz..."

"Spazz?"

"HA! Got you to talk to me!"

"Oh a guest! Pull your hair back, get it out of your face. Put a smile on." The figment reached his fingers around and began to pull Sabrina's hair back. "Take a shower, put perfume on, show a little cleavage-"

"You shouldn't trust him, he just wants in your pants." The annoying imaginary being said with a sharp glare.

"... Are you jealous?"

"Jealous? pffft... yes."


I like what I’ve read so far, oh yes. I’ll definitely be back for more. ^^

Been meaning to reply, but meh. You know me =D

...I suck at reviews, so I'll just leave you with a generic comment.

This is a great story. o.o Please keep writing it. Sabrina and her figment... ooh, I'm too curious as to what will happen next! I can't believe the figment attacked Morty, though. Stupid jealous figment *pokes with spoon* *flees*

Anyway, this is very interesting. Keep it up, Myuu =D

When you all find the grammar/spelling mistakes (which you will!) give me time to correct them and please look it over again after! Oh and please review the plot too, not just the grammar/spelling! Cuz I don't care THAT much about it.

Chapter Two: Maestro's Song


The dark hair flew back as Sabrina dashed down one hall and another. It was amazing how fast the woman could move in a dress. Though her face was still white and as still with emotion as ever, she was in a great hurry. The hospital had that normal overly clean smell that seemed to make the mind wince and demand some sort of dirty mud to roll in. Sabrina was not affected by it at all as she stilled her steps a moment and looked at a room number.

666.

A flicker of something and then it faded, a memory of long ago. But it was gone. She looked around a moment, fast glances that gave icy glares, before she moved towards the door and grabbed the handle. Before she entered though she leaned her head against the door and listened.

"Don't...don't..." the male voice whimpered out before a cry of pain. A woman's voice came out trying to calm the man, telling him she was just doing her job and that he needed to calm down. Sabrina opened the door quickly looking ready to attack whoever was harming the man.

The young nurse looked up, a syringe in her hand. She stared wide eyed as Sabrina's hair seemed to lift up, as if being picked up piece by piece and floated in the hair around her face. Her faded almost red colored eyes glowed brightly with an eerie purple as the syringe jerked out of the nurse's hand and bull's eyed into the wood paneling along the window.

The nurse seemed very alarmed of course and attempted to stutter something out. "Calm do-down miss... Sabrina?" she blinked realizing who the woman was easily, as she was the talk of the city. The nurse seemed to grow even more alarmed as she felt she was under some sort of attack, "I-I was just giving him something to calm him down..." the woman seemed to be ignored as Sabrina approached the bed and looked down at the fidgeting man.

"Oh Morty..." she mumbled a bit, her eyes flashing just a hint of distress as she looked down at her old friend. The blond hair was messed up, the head band gone. He was bruised a bit over his face and his eyes were darting about nervously, as if he was watching something. The yellow orbs turned up to Sabrina and tears came to the man's eyes as his lips moved into whispers.

"I. Saw. It."

The psychic gym leader blinked, not quite hearing what he said. Bending down she reached out to place her gloved hand on top of his restrained one. "What did you say?" she asked him sternly, though his eyes had darted away watching the nurse a moment before looking back and he began to shake his head as quickly as he could.

"It. It. IT IS HERE! OH GOD GET IT AWAY FROM ME!" He screamed out at the top of his lungs, the bed rattling under him and he jerked and pulled on his withs trains. Sabrina had to step away from the thrashing man as she gave a look at the nurse as the woman went to call for the doctor and prepare a new sedative. Sabrina just stared at the man she once knew so well... and to see him like this made her feel very distant from him indeed. She glanced over at the door as the doctor came in and a few other nurses as they prepared to calm and deal with Morty.

Sabrina decided there was absolutely no point in her staying, a part of her mind cringed as it wanted to stay with Morty, to calm him and hold his hand and tell him he was going to be alright. But the trained part of her mind, the powerful bit of it, told her he was gone. His mind was shattered, memories misplaced and everything he was is gone. She has seen it before, she knows exactly what has happened... though by what she is still unsure.

It couldn't be her fault. Not this time.

Even though her face didn't show it, Sabrina could not stand hearing his screams anymore. The strong willed woman turned and left the room. Ignoring the figment as it giggled and laughed behind her, seemingly pleased at the outcome of the visit. She gave him a blaming look and he seeming totally shocked put the hand to his chest as the gray figment tried to give off the look of innocence.

'You blame me!? But I am apart of you! Or so you decided or so I have decided... or us... oh boy does this get confusing! Poor crazy Sabrina is blaming me... or herself again!' The figment laughed out as he seemed to spin around in the air, his purple eyes darting around though no one could see him but Sabrina. The woman wanted to at first respond but decided against it, going once more into the 'ignore it and it will go away.' plan again.

The woman let her feet carry her, not really paying attention to where, she just wanted to walk. Her eyes dead ahead but not focusing really as she turned a corner here and went up a few steps at another. She didn't want to go home just yet and a part of her was holding out hope that Morty would calm down and want to see her. She knew that the hospital had all ready contacted his family and it was only a matter of time before somehow it would get blamed on her. She could just foresee that happening... she wasn't on good terms with his family. Course she wasn't on good terms with a lot of people anymore.

The figment floated after her as she moved, he had become strangely quiet as he spun around floating backwards but seeming to know every turn Sabrina was about to make before she did. The psychic woman continued for some time, she passed a room that she didn't give a second look. But the figment did. He turned his animal like head as he looked into the room, the door creaked open slightly. The sound of a machine beeping to a rhythm of a heart and the lights dimmed down.

'Brina, are you going to pay your innocent victim a visit?' He called out, stopping the woman in her tracks. Sabrina slowly turned around, her head looking over her shoulder more then her body turning to face the being of imagination. She seemed to be thinking a moment before with a quick glance around (and scanning mentally for who was near by) she moved towards the door. Taking the handle lightly in hers she pushed the door open a bit more. Her thin form slipped into the dark room and she moved carefully towards the only bed with a patient. Her form slipped into a chair near the bed of the young boy, looking to be barely thirteen years of age. Her eyes looked at him sleeping... the machines hums and beeps telling her he lived and breathed and was perfectly fine.

If only he would wake up.

Nothing worked, the boy was in a deep coma, even though Sabrina had entered his mind with her powers when this first happened... she found nothing to awaken. It was an empty dead mind. Course she did not have the nerve to tell the parents, as they still got brain waves and were told he was very much alive... just asleep. That he may wake up still. But in truth Sabrina knew his mind was damaged in a way that the doctor's of this world could not see nor cure. She did not have the nerve to admit this to anyone, because she still feared... she was behind it.

The Psychic watched the boy as the room hummed with the machines. Her emotionless face keeping a careful eye on his face. She reached out slowly and placed a hand on his and tried to smile, even though she wasn't one for smiling at all. She just felt like he was watching her... and she wanted to give hope. Though she knew there was no one watching (Other then the figment) and her smile was probably a very frightening thing to see. Sabrina sat back and lowered her head a bit, her almost black hair falling around her face.

"Jeremiah..." she mumbled out a bit, "I know you can't hear me. But I want to talk anyway." Boy did she feel odd, she was not one to just speak like this... but she felt like it had to be done. "I'm still not sure what happened six months ago. I always took such pride in my apprentices, even you, though I scolded you a lot. I just knew how much potential you had..." she could feel the stinging pain of some tears. But the woman withheld them easily. "All we know ... you were alone. Just like Morty. And then you were like this. You were my responsibility and you ended up like this!" she wiped at her eyes, "Thats why I wont have anymore apprentices. This wont happen again. Not to anyone I hold dear..." her hands tightened into fists as she remembered Morty. "Never again."

Sabrina leaned over and looked at the young boy's silent white face, "I apologies... I apologies from all I have."

"What are you doing here?" A woman's voice snapped out.

Sabrina rose to her feet, her head turning sharply. The figment flew about her in a burst of knowing giggles as he rested a hand on her shoulder, 'Busted.' it took all Sabrina had not to glare at him.

At the door holding a small vase of flowers, was a pudgy little woman. Nice round cheeks, black hair pulled back into a tight bun. Her eyes a bit swollen as the brown orbs turned into glares at Sabrina. The woman seemed to shake with anger almost as tears sprung to her eyes once more. Something she must do often, "How dare you... after all you did. How dare you come here." the older woman seethed out. Sabrina's face was emotionless, not showing any sign of hurt or regret now. Now that someone was looking she couldn't do that. The psychic looked at the woman then to the boy.

"I was saying what must be said." she said simply, "I do take responsibility and if you would only allow me I would cover the costs of his care-"

"Get out, wench! GET OUT!" the woman roared out, dropping the vase. Sabrina's hand instinctively came up and as her eyes glowed the vase froze in midair, just before it touched the ground. Only a petal escaped the small arrangement of flowers as the psychic lifted the vase up with her mind and offered it back to the teary eyed woman. But this didn't last long as the woman looked blankly at the vase and just slapped it away. The pottery flew across the room and slammed into a near by wall shattering instantly and sending a rain of sharp edges, water and petals to the ground.

"Out." The mother of Jeremiah pointed.

Sabrina stood a moment, not showing any true signs of anger or regret. She finally moved and passed the woman with out a second look. The figment stuck his tongue out at the plump older woman as he floated past.

In the very white room, with the little decorations and any sort of depth to it. The only thing giving it any charm was a small upright piano. It was against a wall in a corner of a living space in which the psychic was in most of her days. The shelf on the wall had six pokeballs on it, all her pokemon safe and sound insane (though worried for their master) and everything calm.

The calm didn't fade as slow but gentle notes began to fill the air. A song that started out low but slowly rose up in key as the notes floated about the room in a eerie fashion almost. The slow paced yet complex tone of the song could either draw one into a deep trance or bore someone to sleep. The keys fell down in such a rhythm and perfection that not a note was misplaced and not a sound wrong or off. That comes with a lot of practice for someone who is mentally playing the piano with her mind.

Sabrina sat on the bench, her head high and eyes glowing with the eerie psychic power. Her hands rested safely on her lap as each note was pushed down with the power of her well developed mental state. As each key was played, her eyes slowly began to glow brighter and brighter, a small violate aura seemed to form about her curved form and glow brighter. As this happened the music slowly began to play faster and faster, the notes almost running into each other but always kept in beat at such a fast pace...

Objects around the room began to lose the law of gravity, floating up and up and around as the coffee table ended up upside down. The pokeballs on the shelf scattered about the room as if they had minds of their own. The coach lost its cushions though seemed to stay grounded. The objects began to move slowly this way and that, exactly with the beats of the music. It was a strange scene to witness... though the oddness of it grew as the figment stood in the middle of the room, either holding a real stick or a mental one in his hand as he flicked it about, his eyes closed and his other three fingered hand raised as he acted as if he was a maestro.

Jeremiah... Morty... gym... insanity...

The music found a way to grow faster.

Failure... broken... never awake... insanity...

The objects began to float a little faster, moving around the room, around the figment, in a twister.

Hate... forgotten... forgiveness... insanity...

The figment put the stick down, it vanishing into nothingness as his purple eyes narrowed onto Sabrina, watching her closely and his smirk faded away. But something else replaced the look in his eyes.

Regret.. Sorrow... Pity...

Insanity.


Everything in the room fell, the objects in the room rained down onto the carpet, a picture frame shattering and the coffee table landing on its face. The pokeballs landing with small thuds but otherwise unharmed. The music stopped and the keys fell silent, the aura vanished and Sabrina's eyes showed something.

Tears.

Her face leaned down as they escaped her eyes and rolled down in heavy droplets from her face. Her hands turned to fists as she sat there biting back any sobs that tried to escape her. Silent tears fell, silent body shook. Pain and regret filled her, broke free of her emotions that had been held back and soaked her from toe tip to the strands of her hair.

And the woman cried.

'Brina?' The figment's voice came out, sounding truly concerned and somewhat surprised.

Sabrina gave no answer as she rose up. Feeling vulnerable and lost and for the first time she admitted it. She was afraid of the future. She hated it, she hated this. Ever since she was a small girl she had been powerful and unstoppable and brave. Never needed anyone to show her how to do anything because she was Sabrina, the psychic, the gym leader.

She was powerful.

And it was all taken away in a single event.

She really didn't know who she was anymore.

'Sabrina?' the voice seemed to call now, wanting her attention for real. But she didn't give it, either out of habit or just not wanting to give the satisfaction she needed to hear someone. Or herself even.

The psychic moved away from the piano, head up now as she walked away into the back room. The tears still fell but less now, more controlled almost. She fought to gain control of her emotions again, she just had too. It was all the control she had left... and she lost it. The door to her room closed and the messed up living room was quiet.

The figment stared at the hallway where his Sabrina was. The frown on his face turned into a small smirk.

'Guess its time.'





~



Sabrina was asleep, curled under the covers of her bed. Her legs pulled up close to her chest as she slept in uneasy aching rest. Her eyes moved under the lids as she dreamed of many things. None she would remember by morning. The room was very dark, as she liked it. Any sort of light bugged her and she never got the sleep she wanted if there was even a flicker of a alarm clock.

The psychic mumbled a bit as the door pushed open. A trail of light ran its course across the room and onto the bed, going over the form of the woman. He slipped into the room and moved towards the bed, a thin arm going out and touching her side a bit. The door closing as if on its own. Sabrina was moved to lay on her back as the figure moved to get onto the bed.

At first in her sleep she withdrew, but a hand was placed under her neck and she felt some warmth against her face and then a nuzzle to the side of her ear. Fingers ran through her hair and toyed with it a bit. She was shifted a bit, not quite able to wake up or take full understanding of her emotions. Warm breath ran down her neck before a hand slid underneath her shirt.

She squirmed at first before giving off a small sound of pleasure. A smirk and she was moved once more laying again on the bed. Nuzzling came to her neck and strange soft kisses, not quite normal in the least. He moved the blankets more as his form towered over the woman. He began to do various things as he kept her in a sleep, not that she didn't really know what was going on, she was psychic after all, but her mind was at a place in which she could not comprehend this and a part of her was greatly enjoying the warmth, the contact, the feeling... He pulled her close to him, she let out a small sound.

Which changed very soon into a gasp.

He kissed her again and again... to try and let her know he was here and nothing was going to hurt her now. Nothing would ever hurt her again...

She belonged to him.



End Chapter.

HERE IS DA BUMP :D

er I mean review.

Yes.

Review.

Not a bribed bumping. Nope. Me? Bump? For cookies? Nevaaa.

Ok seriously though, this is a good chapter, as all your chapters are good. You're able to put in more length on average to a pokemon fic than I can, and I'm envious of that, but also proud for you :p

anyways I love the interaction between the figment and Sabrina, and love the story overall, and hope you get done with chapter three soon, but remember don't rush, rushing is bad :p
