Dimitri snapped the knife open with the skills of an expert. "I don't recall ever inviting you." he sneered glaring at Frank and Bill. His Gallade nudged his side, and he looked down at Amanda. She was paler then paper birch bark, and breathing shallowly. He felt pity, not compassion and threw the knife at Bill's feet. "If you know Ray so well, then you should know what Amanda needs." Seeing their puzzled faces, he let out an oath and said."The Blood of the Willing. Seeing how I'm not willing, I can't help her. I would hope that Frank wants to at least try to help. Maybe I was confused." He nodded at his Gallade and started to walk away from the group.

"Cut me open I am willing, I did not know Amanda was in danger." said Frank looking at Dimitri. Bill nodded "Yeah Ray left before you contacted me about Amanda." he said looking at Dimitri. Frank rolled over "Come on hurry up the worse she looks the worse I feel"

Dimitri turned and glared at Frank. "You're willing, huh? Then cut yourself open." He pointed to the knife that was imbedded in the ground at Bill's feet. "You'll have to mix it with that batch of crushed plant over on that rock. After it's mixed, put it down her throat. Gallade." he said, "Put her back on the ground. They want to help." The pokemon blinked and nodded, then set Amanda back next to Frank. Dimitri crossed his arms over his chest and watched.

Frank said "Bill Knife" and held out his hand as much as he could Bill nodded and handed him the knife, frank took it and stabbed himself in the stomach cause he knew it would bleed fast enough "Get the mixture over here" said Frank before passing out again. Greg looked at Dimitri, "well this was for you you get it"

Dimitri laughed, hurt at how Frank had given everything for Amanda when he wouldn't. He masked his pain with cynicism. "You're the ones that wanted to help. I've already told you all I know." He nervously began tapping his foot.

The others looked at Dimitri in a nut shell they told him if they were both going to die it was going to be on him casue they were not here to save Amanda only Frank so he had to move the plate

Dimitri grabbed the plate that held the plant. "Here." he handed it to Bill. "You seem to know Ray so much better than I do. Have you ever made medicine before?"

"NO I haven't, but you are the Dimigod so you do it" snapped Bill watching the blood roll out of Frank

Dimitri snarled and gritted his teeth. "Fine." Dimitri wet his hands with Frank's blood and wiped it onto the plate. He did this several times till there was enough blood to make a paste, then he tried to make it more like a liquid. He kneeled next to Amanda's side and opened her mouth with his clean hand. "Bottoms up." he said pouring the mixture down Amanda's throat.

Amanda's mind buzzed to life and her eyes flickered, but remained closed. Frank? she thought weakly. Frank, I'm sorry.

A sudden violent wind ripped through the trees, and Ray appeared with a frightened look on his face. He appeared as real as if he was actually standing before them. “Stop!” he called, “You can stop now. I have had my fun.” he added more calmly. To the stunned face around him he said, “Yes, it was a joke.” He waved his hand out in front of him and Amanda sat bolt upright gasping. She looked over to Frank, who was still on the ground.

Dimitri let out a string of curses, marched over to Ray and was surprised to feel flesh below his knuckles as it met with the boy’s face. Anger coursing through his veins Dimitri kicked Ray in the ribs once, then stopped as he heard the silence around him. He reached a hand out to help the boy up, but found he was already standing. “How many times do I have to tell you, Dimitri. This,” he pointed to his chest, “Is not my real body. It is a astral projection. However, it seems to me that you have more pressing matters on your hands." Ray walked over and knelt beside Amanda. "I am sorry, pretty flower, if I have caused you harm." He then walked to where Frank lay and motioned his hand over Frank's chest. The blood disappeared, and the wound closed. Ray's hand lingered for a moment more and smiled. "Those ribs should not cause you any more difficulties." He nodded his head, then turned to Bill. "I am sorry to have put you through this as well. I hope that you will permit me to remain you friend?" He smiled hopefully and turned once again to face the rest. "What I have done was foolish, harmful and wrong. I shall not partake in such activities again and deem them 'jokes'. Dear people, I do hope you will find it in your hearts to forgive me. I do not wish for you to come to Sky Harbor with revenge on you minds and hatred in your hearts. I will be seeing you again; soon I am to hope. Good day." With that he tilted his head back, laughed and shot off into the sky - only to disappear from sight once he reach the tree tops.

~* Just a joke. This was the end of season one. Season two starts immediately after. It's not like there were any delays or anything. TWSP*~

Frank sat up and looked around, "this was a joke? I stabbed myself to save a life that was not in danger" Frank stood "I hope we find him soon I would like to talk to him."

Britt nodded, "I hope he had his fun cause if he tries again I will kill him" Julie smiled "Well then, we share something"

Bill looked at the others, "Oh come on, he was trying to have some fun, he must get bored with no friends or anything. Just cut him some slack he did heal Frank after all." he started to blush

Greg looked at Bill, "Are you insane, you want us to brush this off like it never happened?"

Frank gave Bill a look and Bill blushed more "You like him don't you?" Bill looked away "Answer me Bill" Bill shook his head and Britt smiled "First sign is denial, with blushing"

Dimitri helped Amanda stand, and she brushed off her pants. "A joke Dimi? What happened? Last thing I remember is that we were walking to Sky Harbor." She spun around. "When did all these people get here?" She scanned the crowd and smiled when her eyes found Frank. She ran and flung her arms around his neck, burying her face in his neck. "I thought I lost you... again." she whispered. "Will you ever forgive me?" she picked her head up to look into his eyes. "Can you, after all the pain i've caused you?"

Dimitri called back his Gallade and pick up Hai. Looks like the world is working again, Pet. Hai scowled, but welcomed the affection. "Amdi." he said. "Amanda. You have no idea what Frank did for you. Whatever he tells you, it's the truth. Listen to him, he's not that bad of a person."

"Amanda, I can forgive you we were all angry, I just hope you can forgive me" said Frank holding Amanda close he looked at Bill "Well if you end up with him, then make sure he never does something like this cause i almost died, I felt it"

Bill looked down, "Yeah sure Frank"

Britt looked around "So what are we doing now?"

Dimitri set Hai on the ground again. "I believe Frank and Amanda were on their way to Ptolos." He pointed at the mid-day sun. "It's about noon, so you'll get to the peak just before dark - if you leave now." He looked at Amanda and Frank and tilted his head. "Take care of her, kid. The Gods know I sure as Hell couldn't." He bowed his head and walked over to Julie. He took her hands in his and said, "Go with them. I'm sure you'll want to talk to Frank and Greg more." He brought her hands to his lips, kissed them both, then let go of them. "Greg." he said over his shoulder. "I hope you find all the happiness being a father can give." He reached up and traced Julie's cheek with his fingertips. "We haven't finished talking. Remember that." Like a rabbit being chased for the hunt, Dimitri took off in a dead sprint. I'm going to find you Ray. he thought. And when I do, I'm going to kill you.

Amanda looked into Frank's eyes, but said to Julie. "Let him go. He has his own agenda. And do you dare say I don't care about him. That line is too cliché anyway." She needed to prove to herself that this was real. She needed to do something that would make Julie stay. Frank. she thought. Little help? And then she crushed her lips to his.

Julie had turned to run when she say Amanda kiss Frank and glared at her and clenched her fist as Frank kissed her deeply, Julie was not sure why this made her angry but it did so she said, "HEy Slut get your hands off of my Brother." Frank broke the kiss, "Julie!"

Greg just staired at Julie

Bill looked at Julie "Um, you may nto want to do that"

Britt on the other hand had not heard any of this cause she was following the boy, he was fast but she caught up, "HEy where you going?" she asked as she kept up with the boy

Dimitri growled at Britt and stopped mid-stride. "Damn it!" he exclaimed grabbing her upper arms. "Go back to the others girl. I have no use for a shadow."

Amanda giggled and put her hand on the back of Frank's neck, urging him forward. "It's been to long Clyde. I'm not going to give you up that easily."

Britt looked at Dimitri, "No you don't need one but you have one," she smiled at him then from her shoulder "PIKA".

Frank smiled, "I like Clyde, Call me that from now on" Frank leaned in to kiss her

Julie lost then she ran forward and pulled Frank away "Bring it bitch"

Bill and Greg didn't move they just watched to see Amanda's reaction

"Jesus!" Amanda exclaim. "I can kiss my boyfriend if I want to." She stole a glance at Frank, to see if he was okay with her use of that word. She smiled, and continued. "I'm not going to fight you Julie." Then she cast a glance down the path Dimitri had ran. "I think you have your own problems."

Dimitri groaned. "Look." he said running a hand through his hair. "I don't have time for crushes. Okay? So, while I'm flattered that you'd chase after me. I really don't want you to follow me. Okay?" He grinned and waited for her response.

Frank smiled at being called Amanda's boyfriend. But Julie got more angry "NO BITCH" and Julie smacked Amanda across the face. the others just gasped

Britt laughed, "YOu think I am doing this for me, HELL NO, MR. Concided you are not that hot, NOw go back to Julie"

Amanda gasped and rubbed her cheek. "I already said I wouldn't fight you." she tilted her head to look back at Julie with a pained expression. "Why are you being so violent? Do you think Dimitri ran off because of me?" Amanda looked at Frank, then back to Julie. "I'm not going to stop liking your brother. No matter what you do, I'll always love Frank." She bent down to pick up the discarded knife, then handed it to Julie.

Dimitri blushed. "Oh. Yeah, for Julie." He bit his lip and began to pace. "Look, " he motioned with his hand searching for a name, "Girl. I like Julie, but there is something I need to do right now. Something that doesn't involve her in anyway. I don't want her getting hurt. It's as simple as that, Okay?" He stopped in front of Britt. "Can you understand that?"

"Yes, but if I am right you are connected to her now like Amanda and Frank, Kinda like you are imprinted like in Twilight." said Britt with a small smile

Julie looked at the knife and threw it into a tree, "Your right" the she started to sprint to where Britt and Dimitri.

Frank looked at his father, "So, um....... has she always been that way?" he asked walking over and hugging Amanda. greg just nodded

Dimitri wanted to strangle Brittany. "First Julie, now you. What is with girls and Twilight? I'm not a vampire and I'm not a werewolf! I'm a Godamn Pokémon demigod! I'm a fucking cursed human. Okay? Get that through your idiotic thick skulls, you annoying bitch!" His head snapped to look down the trail as he heard footsteps approaching.

Amanda faintly heard yelling down the path, yet kept her feet planted. She hugged Frank back, and rested her head on his shoulder. "Dimitr's angry. He won't hurt Julie physically, but she might get her feelings hurt. I know you'll probably want to go after him and Kick his ass. " she smiled at the thought, "But I don't want you too. You fight too much."

Julie ran forward, and Jumped into Dimitri, "I am going with you" she said firmly clinging to him. Britt smiled, "You were saying?" said Britt

Frank held Amanda, "okay I will not fight him unless he slaps her" Bill and Greg had started to walk down the path with Franka nd Amanda behind them

Dimitri wrapped his arms around Julie's waist and crushed his lips to hers. Tearing his mouth from hers, he said, "Damn it kid. Why do you tease me so?" He lifted his hand to brush a strand of hair from Julie's face, then rested it on her cheek.

Amanda pulled Frank along after Greg and Bill. "We're going the wrong way. Ptolos is to the East. We're going North." Amanda was quiet after that, walking by Frank's side, holding his hand. When they finally came to the small clearing where Dimitri and the girls were, Amanda's heartbeat spiked when her eyes met Dimitri's. She tugged at Frank's hand, urging him back the way they had come. "I don't want to be here, Clyde. I don't want to be here at all."

When Dimitri saw Amanda he straightened, his pulse leapt, and he swallowed. He pulled his arm forward and therefore pushed Julie against his chest. "It seems our group is about to divide, princess."

Everybody looked confused. Frank looked at Amanda, Julie at Dimitri, Greg, Britt and Julie exchanged a look. Frank was the first to speak "Well Amanda and I have to finish something Blaine started so we will be going over the mountain." Bill looked at Frank and said, "Well, I think I want to go with Dimitri and meet this Ray person. That is where you are going right?" he asked

Julie smiled and said, "I think i am going to stay with Dimitri" Britt smiled "I need to clear my family name so I will go with Frank and Amanda"

Greg looked as people moved around and left him alone in the middle to his left stood, Amanda, Frank, Britt and her Pikachu. On his right stood Dimirti, Julie, and Bill. "I need to talk to this Ray person myself so I guess I will be with these guys here"

Hai bounced up and down. I'll go with Frank and Manda. Because that way each group has four... people.

Amanda leaned against Frank's side. I'm sorry I'm destroying your family Clyde. she thought, not wanting to speak out loud. I don't know why Dimitri had to take it to such extremes. In fact, I'm sorry he did. It's this stupid body of mine. The stupid curse. I love you, but Groudon loves Kyogre - and vis versa. I'll admit to you, I used to be in love with Dimitri - before the curse. See, this thing it didn't happen until after we both turned 13. Seeing how I killed myself on that day, then was transplanted, I never saw Dimitri as Kyogre. That is, till yesterday. It's frightening, it's like having my heart ripped in two. Which does make sense, two souls, two hearts, two loves.

Dimitri cleared his throat. "Alright then. The names have been drawn. Frank, be careful. A lot of violent pokémon live on Turnback mountain." And as far as I can tell, Amanda only has her arcanine with her. He rubbed Julie's cheek with his thumb. "Ready scout?"
