Sorbet turned, seeing my injured. No, that thing was no longer Sorbet; it was a monster. And I was going to die...my vision kept blurring in and out of focus, darkness creeping up in the sides of my vision. Maybe it wasn't that bad, maybe I would live. Wait... I thought to myself. I can't die! Not now! I haven't told Matthew that I love him! I glanced down at my side and cringed. Blood was slowly welling from my would. I closed my eyes, and yanked out the shard, trying to imagine something peaceful; I imagined Matthew, I imagined the kiss.

I slowly arose to my feel, blood rushing from my head; I quickly became dizzy. I quickly panicked and looked back towards Sorbet, who roared in rage. If I couldn't run away (or even limp), there was no way I was going to survive the dragon's next attack. I tried to look into Sorbet's eyes: maybe there would be something there, a sort of 'recognition'. But, my heart dropped as I finally reached reality: there was no Sorbet left.

The dragon roared sickly, and suddenly, large rocks started falling from the sky. So, this is how I die I thought, as time slowed to a standstill. Did in my an Ancient Power...He'll never know how I felt...I don't think I ever told Riley how proud I was of him...I can't die! I can't! I have Pokémon to live for...my job here isn't done! I stared at the large rocks flying in all directions, hoping that the end would be painless. I couldn't move my legs; I was frozen in fear. A rock came hurdling at me, and I pinched my eyes shut. This would be the end.

I felt something about my size slam into my side, pushing me out of the way of the incoming rock. I felt the boulder collide with the earth, I heard the loud, sharp cry of pain that my savior delivered upon the rock colliding with its body. I could barely open my eyes, but when I did, the sight horrified me.

"RILEY!"

I leapt to his side, horrified. "Riley...w-what are you doing? I-I thought you were..." I choked back my tears.

"Heh...K-Kelsea...I knew you'd get yourself into trouble." He huffed, struggling to breathe. "I had to come...Matthew is busy...w-who else could have...saved you?"

"Riley...I'll get you out of there." I glanced up at Sorbet, who was preoccupied with making his way towards the woods. At least we were safe for a few minutes. I quickly put all of my weight on the boulder, somehow managing to budge it a little, but getting it off of Riley. "See, Riley? You're going to be fine...I promise."

"Don't promise that, Kelsea. I-I am going to...die. It's my time." The Poochyena calmly said.

I bit my lip, holding back the tears. "D-don't you talk like that, Riley! You're going to be fine."

"You...you're unrealistic. Now...listen to me...Kelsea. There's something I...I want you to know before I...b-before it's too late." He coughed, slightly, before continuing. "I grew up with...with a horrible past. My Dad was abusive...I had to fight to live...a-ahh...you know my father. He spoke of a s-silver coated Eevee once...and a Zangoose that paid to keep you from being hurt...with one eye...I kn-knew that was Matthew. T-tell Matthew to embrace h-his past...It will lead to a greater future...s-same for you. For me, I came from this horrible life...but...you and Matthew...you made it worthwhile."

Tears were streaming from my eyes. "I'm so proud of you, Riley."

He continued, a slight smile on his face. "I got to die with honor, Kelsea...I got to die saving something t-that was dear to me. You saved me from a m-miserable life...and, I realized...the past doesn't matter...it-it's what becom..what you do with your past to s-shape your future." He moaned slightly, before placing his head back on the ground. "My destiny was to die here, so y-you can live." He coughed, closing his eyes. "You saved my life...I thought...it was my turn to save yours."

With that, a small, last breath escaped his mouth, before he lay motionless. My partner, my friend...was dead.

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound...
