Please read and review! I'd really like to know what you guys think of this one!

Jessie's eyes popped open from her feigned sleep as soon as she heard James lightly snoring. She crawled out of her sleeping bag and quickly slipped on her boots and gloves. She made her way quietly across the camp to Meowth's bag. Jessie nudged him awake and he looked up at her blearily. Begrudgingly, he pulled himself up and followed her out of the campsite.

The duo made their way through a wooded area until they came to edge of a clearing. In the middle was a large mansion, it was covering a vast portion of the valley it was built in. Jessie remained straight-faced while Meowth looked around with awe. He let out a low, impressed whistle.

"Dat's da biggest one yet, youse sure she's in dis one?" he asked. Jessie nodded.

"I had Seviper so some spying, she came this afternoon." She said. There were still lights on so they had to wait to sneak across the lawn. Meowth seized the opportunity to get more information out of his team mate.

"So, Jimmy has no idea youse on the hunt for his fiancé huh?" he asked coyly. She shot him a mean look.

"No and we are going to keep it that way. If you breathe a word to him, I'll make myself a new fur hat!" she hissed evilly. He smiled a waved his paws in front of his face.

"Relax Jess, I won't say anything. Just, I tink wese shoulda told him, he might have wanted to help." He said hastily. She rolled her eyes at him.

"You really think so? Moron, he's not a murderer, villain yea sure, but he's no murderer." She said. Meowth looked at her with uncertainty; she knew he didn't think she could be a killer either. However, to use the old adage desperate times call for desperate measures would be an understatement at this point.

"Why do wese hafta kill her anyways? Why not just ruff her up?" he asked. She clenched her fist together and tried her best not to hit him. She had told him all this before, he apparently seemed unable to remember.

"Jessiebelle is never going to call the impending wedding off. James can't truly be free until she does or when she is dead." She said angrily. He smiled at her again.

"Dat's very generous of youse, but wats in it for us? Meowth asked greedily. Jessie balled her fist and hit him this time.

"Sometimes you have to do things for others without regard for yourself!" she practically yelled. Meowth gaped at her with surprise and horror, rubbing the charm on his head.

"Where's da real Jessie?" He asked. To his surprise, her glare soften a bit.

"Look, James deserves better than her and those no good, lousy, parents he's got. Families are good for nothing. I'm doing him a favor." She said softly, looking back down at the mansion. It was true, in her experience families caused more trouble than their worth. James had her and Meowth, he didn't need more than that. Meowth was in shock again, this time he was very uncertain.

"Youse going to kill his parents too?" He asked timidly. He wasn't sure if he wanted to know the answer. To his relief she shook her head.

"No, just her…for now" she whispered.

Suddenly all the lights went out at the mansion. This was it, the moment she had waited for years for. Jessie motioned Meowth to follow her and they sprinted across the dark lawn. They ran to the outer wall and pressed themselves flat to it. Slowly, they inched their way along the wall until they came to a door. Jessie tried the knob just in case it was unlocked, but it remained in its frame. Meowth snorted loudly.

"Nice try pokeeinstien, howse we getting in now?" he asked. She reached up and pulled two Bobbi pins out of her crimson hair. She immediately set to work on the lock, sticking in the pins and moving them from side to side. After just a few moments, there was a loud click and the door swung free. Meowth stared dumbfounded and Jessie finally gave him a smile.

"James has managed to teach me a few things." She whispered replacing the pins. They rushed inside and Jessie quickly closed the door.

It seemed they had managed to break into a long dark corridor. Most likely a servant's entrance, Jessie thought bitterly. It would probably take them up to the kitchens and she could work from there. She sighed quietly and began to work their way down the hall.

Turn after turn, Jessie felt like they were getting more and more lost. They should have made it out of the corridor ages ago. She was starting to rethink the plan, perhaps they could still backtrack if they needed to get out. Dammit, Jessie thought angrily, now it seemed quite foolish to have not told James where they were. What if they got lost in this place forever? Panic was starting to set in and Meowth was starting to get frustrated.

"Youse shoulda sent Seviper ta get a road map for dis place." He said rather loudly. Jessie's heart shot up.

"Shut up Meowth! Do you want us to be caught?" she hissed quietly. He shook his head and they continued down the passage.

Twenty minutes later, Jessie's panic had built to an alarming level. Her heart kept racing at the littlest of noises and she was shaking violently. The adrenaline was pumping through her, make her sweat profusely. She turned to Meowth and even in the dark, he could tell she was very pale.

"This is stupid, let's turn back and leave." She whispered. Meowth rolled his eyes and spun around to turn back.

"I knew dis was stupid from da start. I'm never helping youse again." He said loudly. Jessie tried to shush him, but was grateful he agreed so quickly to go back.

"Meowth we can still be caught, so please shut up!" she said hastily. He waved his paw, ignoring her.

"I want to know how exactly youse was planning ta kill Jessiebelle?" He asked in his annoying loud voice. Jessie jumped, she thought she had heard a noise behind her. She threw a kick out at him that made him yelp.

"I was going to take my mallet and bash her pretty face in. Right now, I want to bash your big meowouth in!" She whispered urgently. She heard him swallow hard and smiled knowing she had gotten him to finally shut up.

Jessie turned around suddenly again, she had definitely heard a noise that time. Meowth had apparently heard it too.

"Wese not alone," he said now bothering to keep his voice down. Jessie didn't waste any time and started running down the hallway. Meowth was quick behind her and had soon passed her, opting to run on all fours for a change. Jessie heard footsteps running behind her and she tried speeding up but so did her pursuer. It was too late, she felt arms close in around her neck and she knew exactly who it was that had caught her. Hell, she had known from the beginning who it was by the way the person had ran. Jessie was pulled in close, they had a fairly strong grip.

"Why, Jessie. It's been far too long." The women said in a delayed southern drawl. The hot breath on Jessie's cheek was making her sick.

"Meowth run! It's Jessiebelle!" Jessie screamed trying to break free from Jessiebelle. Suddenly, Jessie felt a deep, sharp pain in her left side. It was a pain she had never felt before. Meowth ran up and gasped.

"What have youse done!" He yelled in horror. Jessie looked down and with her own jolt of horror saw the dagger protruding from her stomach with Jessiebelle's hand resting comfortably on the handle.

"Don't worry, this won't kill her." Jessiebelle said in a sweet voice. She gave the dagger a little twist and the pain brought Jessie to her knees.

"I won't let youse kill Jessie!" Meowth yelled, flicking out his claws running at Jessiebelle. Almost lazily, she pointed a finger at him.

"Vileplume, stunspore." She called out. From nowhere, a flower looking creature ran from the shadows. It pointed it's head at the cat and shot out an orange, sparkly dust. He stopped frozen in his tracks. Jessie went to grab Sevipers pokeball, but Jessie beat her to it. She laughed at Jessie.

"Dammit, let me go!" Jessie yelled trying her best to fight against her. Jessiebelle smiled and pushed Jessie's head closer to Vileplume opening.

"Stunspore," Jessiebelle whispered calmly. The orange dust came flying out again and Jessie had no choice but to breath it in. She started to cough and sputter, Jessiebelle removed the knife and allowed her to fall the floor. She kneelt down beside her.

"Bitch," Jessie coughed. Still Jessiebelle just smiled evilly and picked Jessie up, cradling her in her arms much like a mother would her baby.

"Vileplume, kindly get Meowth and follow me down to the dungeon." She said quietly, beginning the long trek out of the hallway. Suddenly, she whipped around, much like Jessie had kept doing before. She thought she had heard claws clicking down the hallway away from them.

"Something…wrong?" Jessie managed sarcastically. Jessiebelle just snarled and turned back around. She could have sworn she has seen a flash of orange and black fur race down the hallway. She prayed that she hadn't.
