One year since the events that gave me life again. Saving Dagger.
Now, in that year we moved to Halso, bought a nice house by the ocean with a massive golden beach. It was nice. That year went normal enough, I was just so glad I was able to save Dagger from his curse.
Anyways, lately we've been doing whatever we liked. We owned a massive plot of property, a private beach, and everything. Honestly, it wasn't easy. Worked overtime, had three different jobs, it was pretty bad. But Dagger helped, and we finally had enough cash to buy this nice house. Our lives were perfect.
For that torture house I lived in for months, possibly years, I forgot, I just walked away without saying anything. I didn't want to deal with their abuse anymore. I left the only things I had behind in there to start anew.
Anyways, I was sitting down on the glittering sand around seven in the afternoon. It was summer and the sun was still in the sky, beginning to set. The sun sunk in front of the ocean, creating the perfect scene. I always enjoyed sitting there everyday, same time, watching the sun slowly sink down.
I just sat there, holding my mom's pendant in my paw.
"I wish you were here mom and dad..." I said, holding the pendant to my chest.
Staying there for a few more minutes, just holding the pedant close, I heard a voice.
"Still there? Come on, foods ready."
Dagger stood behind me with a smile.
"What's for dinner tonight?" I asked.
"I cooked some burna soup, mainly for me. I know you don't like spicy foods. For you I made some spike berry tacos." He replied.
Smiling, I nodded.
"Alright, be there in a minute." I said back.
He nodded back and turned around and walked back indoors. Turning around, I looked at the golden waters. I then got up and brushed myself off. Nearly starving, I jogged to the house and went in. Once in, I sat down at the table with Dagger. We began eating, since I hadn't ate all day. And midway through our dinner, he looked up.
"So Gold. What's your plan tomorrow?" He asked.
"I'm not sure… I don't really have much planned." I replied.
"Well, I'm going into town today to get some stuff. Wanna come?" He asked again.
"I think I'll stay behind. Now that I think of it, I do need to finish some stuff that I hadn't finished." I said.
"Oh… Okay. Should take more then an hour or two." He said.
After that quick conversation, we continued our meal. And once we were done, I felt tired. So wanting to get some sleep, I told Dagger. He said he'll stay up a bit longer and follow soon later. I just nodded and walked upstairs. Opening my door, I walked in and placed the pendant on my table. Laying on my bed, I just stared at the ceiling. Closing my eyes, I faded into a sleep state.
The next morning, I awoke in a dazed state. I groaned and got up, stretching. Looking to Dagger's bed, I saw he wasn't there. I suppose he went already. So after waking up and taking a shower, I walked downstairs to make some breakfast. After eating, I messed around on my phone for a bit, not really doing much, but after growing bored, I walked outside to the beach. The sun was high, and the weather was just perfect like always in Halso. After walking towards the beach, I began doing my own activities.
Now, about an hour later, I heard Dagger arrive home. I finished up and went to greet him. After getting the stuff he bought put away, we were left there, wondering what to do. Luckily Dagger had something planned almost instantly. He perked up and told me we should go down to the surfing center, as recently Halso opened up a surfing area for summer. And I liked this idea, so grabbing my stuff, we exited and began our small walk.
The walk was nice and quiet, just us talking to each other. We then arrived at the surfing location, and it was filled with others just having their own fun. And throughout that year, I managed to interact with others, and now is very open, so it didn't really bother me.
So to skip all the random stuff that day, it was night. I just sat in the kitchen, trying to complete some stuff I needed done. Dagger was out with Xcon, leaving me home alone. Xcon, though being from the country side really started liking city life as well. She still wishes that we could've moved to Yuka, but I don't really like the cold. Pretty sure she wanted to live near Eclipse and Shine. But she didn't really protest when I said we were moving to Halso.
Xcon kinda accepted it and stuff. Also, Xcon doesn't live with us. She lives close by though, she just wanted to live in a nearby house by a river that connects to our beach.
So with that out of the way, I stood behind to finish my stuff. Those two were off doing whatever they were doing, and I just listened to music on low and tried finishing my stuff. Pretty much a simple night for me.
But as I continued working, I suddenly heard knocking at the door. Looking back towards the front door, I was confused. It was about seven at night, and someone was knocking. So a bit curious to who it was, since I didn't really knew anyone, I got up and walked towards the door. I unlocked it and turned the knob. Opening it, I saw there was no one there.
"Really…?" I mumbled, thinking it was a prank.
But before I closed the door, I looked down to see an envelope.
"Huh…? What's this?" I said, confused.
I bent down and grabbed the pinkish blue envelope. I didn't really knew who this could've been from. Once again, I don't really have any known friends other then Dagger, Xcon and a few random friends I met throughout the year. So I walked a bit out and looked around, seeing no one. We had a pretty big field, which confused me even further. No one could had ran out of view before I opened the door. So a bit creep out, I walked back in the house and locked the door.
Walking towards the kitchen table, I sat down and opened the envelope. Within in, was a paper of course. So pulling it out, the paper was pink like the envelope. Guess whoever made this liked pink and blue. Anyways, unfolding the paper within, I saw a few words in neatly done writing.
"Remember me? Think you could've gotten rid of me that easily? -J"
Even more creep out at this, I suddenly remembered. A year ago. I received something just like this, the same colored envelope, and the mysteriously J at the end of the post. I was so confused and concerned now. Who was this J that sent me this. I just simply put it back in the envelope and tossed it in the trash. I decided to keep this from Dagger, since it was probably a prank. But somewhere in me, I knew this might be a stalker situation. I don't know many Pokemon with a name starting with J.
I just shook this feeling for now.
Returning to my work, I just waited for Dagger to come home. Once he arrived an hour later, I decided to just go to sleep. And so I jumped in my bed and closed my eyes, thinking about who this mysterious Pokemon was...
