The fog was thick, a chill rushed down Bella's spin, "It's so hard to see and there's no way I'll be able to get to the Graveyard." Bella took out two Mirage Balls and released Sirus and Koda from them. Bella looked down at the Shinx, "Koda, I need some light so that we can get to the Graveyard." she stated, Koda nodded in return, "Nessun problema, Isabella." Koda raised his tail up as the star on the tip of his tail began to glow a yellowish color. The three walked to the Graveyard with caution, it was quiet for now, but Bella wasn't going to let her guard down that easily.

After a while Bella spotted a tall human figure standing by the Graveyard gates, holding an ax. Bella recognized the figure and quickly ran forward, "Gabriel!" Just as she got close he swung the ax at her, lucky she dodged out of the way just in time. "What on earth was that for!?" Bella shouted. Gabriel looked down at the woman and responded with a grin, "So sorry dear, but with the situation going on right now I'm a little on edge with people or things sneaking up on me." Bella looked at Gabriel with an unamused look, "Well I almost lost a head because of that...Anyway, where are the dead pokemon? The Graveyard looks empty." Gabriel looked into the grave fields and turned back to Bella, "No clue, there's no way for them to get out besides through this gate. They might be hiding an expecting someone to come in there."

Bella looked to the gates and scowled a bit, "Then I'm going in!"

Gabriel stood in front of her, "I can't let you do that."

Bella blinked, "Why not? You asked for assistance!"

"I know, but it's too dangerous now, since the pokemon are no where to be seen a surprise attack could be a deadly one. Lady Lyra would be very displeased to find out any Locheshians getting seriously hurt or killed in this task." Gabriel explained.

The two heard a shriek coming within the Graveyard, "What the bloody hell!?" Gabriel growled. Bella recognized the shriek and her eyes widened, "Anna...ANNA!" Bella reached for the gate doors but then Gabriel grabbed a hold of her wrist, "What in the name of Giratina are you doing?!" Bella glared at Gabriel and snapped, "That's my niece in there, I have to go get her!" Bella broke free of Gabriel's grip and ran throw the gate doors. Bella looked around and throw the fog, "Anna? Anna!? Koda, Sirus, can you see her?" Bella asked. The two looked around the fog and shook their heads, "No, the fog is too dense to see through-" just then Bella spotted a small figure running towards her, soon the figured tackled into her and held onto her waist. "Anna! Thank goodness you're alright!" Bella kneeled down to her level, but she was wrong. Bella looked to the scratches on Anna's cheek, "Anna what happened to your face? Who did that to you?"

"Isabella, so good to see you again." footsteps got louder as a tall man walked up to Bella, he stopped only a few feet in front of her. Bella looked up and immediately glared at the man, "Matthew!" she growled, "You've got some nerve showing your ugly face here!" Matthew scowled at Bella, "You know why I am here, I won't leave until you pay for what you did!" Anna looked at Matthew with tears welling up in her eyes, she looked up at Bella and spoke quietly, "Aunt Bella why is Matthew after you? I thought he was mad at my mommy." Matthew grinned and chuckled, "Oh? So you haven't told anyone about what happened in Sinnoh? Tsk tsk tsk Isabella, shame on you for keeping secrets."

Bella snapped. "That's enough Matthew! She doesn't need to know what happened!"

"Shut it! It's about time everyone knew you're little secret Isabella, you're not the good girl everyone thinks you are."

"Knock it off Matthew!"

"Knock what off? Anna wants to know what YOU did in Sinnoh. Why I'M after you. Why I want revenge on you!"

Bella stared at Matthew quietly, her heart was racing, she could feel her hands shake. "Yes, I know you remember it very clearly Isabella. Back at Team Galactic's headquarters. After you freed Giratina my partner and I stopped you before you managed to escape. The two of us caught you and that devil Weavile. Then you killed her, my partner, Jennifer. You grabbed the knife out of her pocket and stabbed her!"

"That's not how it is-"

"YOU MURDERED HER!" Matthew shouted. It was quiet after that, Matthew shout a glare at Bella, "She was only a rookie, not the brightest in some of the missions but she was a good partner. And you murdered her Isabella!" It was quiet again. Bella recalled the incident that happened, she started to shake more and lowered her head down. The guilt was beginning to eat her on the inside, she didn't want to kill the woman, but she had to.
