Chapter 12

Is it?

Part 2

It was the day of the wedding, I was in a separate room fitting into a white tuxedo with a blue shirt underneath. My best man, Derek was helping me in it making sure everything fits right. Derek stepped out of the room to get my roses from the delivery service. As i sat in my room waiting for Derek a knock came on my door.

"Door's open!"

As the door opened i looked in the direction to find Lillian in her elegant white dress walking twats me.

"Lillian, we can't see each other yet. It's bad luck."

"I know but there is something i should tell you..."

When she said that i got a little worried for she might of found the picture.

"Parth...I know who the shooter is. it's-"

Just as she was about to tell me Derek came in the room with roses looking at us with a frown on us.

"Lillian, you should go back to your room."

She indeed went back to her room waiting for her turn to come out.

Later on the day it was time to start the wedding. The event was going well as I walked down the isle I looked at the people trying to find the person. Once I got onto the alter i waited for Lillian to come through the door. After a while Lillian walked through the door and down the isle. She looked so wonderful walking in her wedding dress but i could see her frowning under the white mesh-like hood on her. when she was halfway down the alter i heard a clicking noise like that of a gun which made me yell out. "DUCK!"

Everyone ducked under the benches as a single gun shot was heard missing Lillian by a short distance. There on top of the railings i saw someones cape like cloth rush towards the stairs. I ran to Lillian and told her to hide somewhere safe and took off towards the stairs. As i headed towards the stairs I saw the assassin run towards the main hall where everyone was.

I saw the assassin with his hood on as he looked at me. I would of attacked him but he said something to me that made me frightened.

"Parth, i would rather look up on the balcony in front of you now."

Then that's when i heard Lillian scream my name, once I looked up there she was with another assassin in a hood held with a pistol to her head.

"Wait. if your here then...Who the hell is that?!"

"Parth, it is time you should know who Lillian was with first."

once he took the hood off my eyes widen and a shiver went down my spine for the assassin and Lillian's first trainer was...

"Derek? why?"

"I can't stand my Pokemon being with another trainer, you were no exception."

"But you were at the festival, how did you shoot the stage?"

The assassin with Lillian took her hood off to reveal that it was Sara.

"Sara?"

"That's right you asshole! You ditched me to date a Pokemon, now you will both die!"

I then saw Lillian hit Sara and jump down to run to me getting shot at missing allot of the bullets but one was logged into her shoulder making Lillian fall to the ground holding her shoulder where the bullet went in. I pushed Derek to the side to check on Lillian.

"Lillian, let's get out of here"

Then it happened, we heard 2 gun shots. My vision was fading a bit as i saw Lillian falling to the ground and then everything went black. The last thing I heard was "Parth...You made us do thi-".

After a while i faintly heard someone say "we...a pulse". My eyes slowly opened to see that i was in a hospital. I looked around fast to see that my mother, and my classmates were near my bedside.

"what happened?"

My mom spoke up in a teary tone.

"You were shot by Derek and...I'm just glad your OK Parth."

"Where is Lillian?"

There was a very long silence followed by some held back tears by some people from the church.

I looked to my left and my tears were flowing like waterfalls as i saw Lillian hooked up to a re breather, life support and more attached to her. My mother then spoked up saying the words that made me think I should of died today.

"The doctors say she is in critical condition, Lillian...might never wake up, ever"

"Everyone leave me alone! I want privacy!"

Soon everyone left the room as I cried out in sadness over Lillian. I held her hand looking at her sleeping face.

"Lillian please, I don't want you to leave me here...alone."

I let go of her hand but still looked at her knowing that she is still hanging on to life to see me. A few days later the doctors came in and said that i can leave the hospital, I indeed left the hospital but every day ever since then I've been visiting Lillian in bed, waiting for her to wake up...

5 weeks later...

It was the beginning of spring and i wanted to meet Lillian for it in her room. I went to the hospital front desk and told them i was here to visit my wife, Lillian Makeo. I headed to her room with roses in hand. As I opened her room door and went to her bed...she wasn't there. A nurse walked by and asked me "Are you Parth?".

"Yes i am. Where is Lillian?"

She looked sad then said...

"She disappeared."

"WHAT?!"

I ran out of the hospital as fast as i could and started looking for Lillian. As i walked by a forest I heard Lillian in my mind.

"Parth...help me...I'm...in the forest."

I followed Lillian's voice in my head until i found her lying on a stump face down weak from walking so far.

"Lillian, what are you doing out of bed? you should get back before you suffer more damage."

"Parth, I don't want to go back to the hospital. I almost died three times in the same place."

"Wait a minute, three?"

"Yes...I actually know your father."

"Please tell me about my father."

I sat next to Lillian ready to listen to what she had to say.

"You see, when i was only a kirlia your father saved me from Derek and put me in the hospital. Once I woke up he was at my side telling me what happened. From then on I stood with your dad for some time..."

"Where is he now?"

Lillian was trying to hold back the tears but they came out as she said...

"He died protecting me from Derek when he saw us. His last words were If you meet my son, Parth, tell him that I sent you to him so you two can be happy together."

My tears came out as i held Lillian close whispering in her ear. "Thank you for telling me this Lillian dear. let's visit his grave."

Four days passed and Lillian felt much better, We visited my dad's grave and put flowers on the soil where he was buried. My wife put a hand on my shoulder when it was time to go home. On our way home Lillian asked me a question.

"Where are we going on our honeymoon?"

That is when i pulled out the two tickets i hid from her for so long.

"Were going on a cruise ship, the S.S.Poko."

Her eyes grew wide as she hugged me tight and screamed with delight. Our lives have just begun...
