My squad and I stalked quietly through the village, blending in easily with the evening rush. We had an objective, one that was easily carried out. We were to steal all the TM's from the local Kecleon Market. It wouldn't be that hard, just slip in and out, and kill any witnesses, of course.
My squad consisted of Burn the Houndour, Felicity the Skitty, and me, Droplet the Eevee. I was the leader, with Burn as second in command and Felicity as support. We were a well balanced squad.
We were also murderers. We'd killed many-a-Pokemon to reach our objective. The reason? We would be beaten if we didn't. I didn't like the beatings given to us by Master, and I'd do anything to avoid them, even take another's life.
As I was saying, we were now padding through the town, on the way to the local market. When we finally reached it, Felicity went in first as a distraction.
"Hello there…" she purred. The shopkeeper, a Kecleon (what else??) was too overwhelmed to respond, turning a deep crimson. Burn and I slipped into the storage room, where the TM's were easily spotted. I motioned to Burn with my paw, and he stuffed the entire collection into our bag, before running back out the door.
Unfortunately, the Kecleon had recovered enough from Felicity's distraction to notice us storming out.
"Thieves!" he exclaimed, before Felicity swiped him across the face with her paw.
"Shut up if you value your life!" she hissed. I walked over.
"It's not like we'll let him live, Fel." I commented. She giggled maliciously.
"Suppose you're right, Droplet." she smiled evilly before stabbing a claw into his stomach. Her other paw was covering his mouth. I winced slightly at the shriek he let out, but I'd gotten much better at handling the gore of this occupation.
"Finish him off, Felicity! We need to get outta here before the cops show." Burn ordered from the front of the shop, looking out the threshold discreetly. I waved a paw at him dismissively.
"We could take 'em." I answered confidently before using a Shadow Ball on the Kecleon's stomach, making him once again shriek. Burn sighed.
"Just kill 'im already."
"Why don't you ever let me have my fun, Burn?" Felicity pouted before retrieving her knife and stabbing him in the heart, killing him instantly.
"You abuse that knife, Fel." I commented before skipping to the door. "Ladies first, Burn." I said sarcastically.
"Ha-ha." he said flatly before stalking out, Felicity following closely after. The guilt of taking another life was starting to set in, twisting my stomach painfully. It could be you… I reminded myself, easing some of the guilt.

After walking a mile or two, we made it back to the entrance to the base, which was really just an out-of-the-way burrow. Burn and Felicity went in ahead of me, and unfortunately, Razor chose just then to trot up.
Razor was an extremely annoying Leafeon, whom I'd known since I started training at T RW. He wore a Miracle Seed around his neck… Something about it being a gift from a family member… Who needs family? Mine was too weak to protect me from this life, and the monster that ruled it. In my opinion, family weighed you down.
Anyway… he seemed to enjoy bothering me, and pissing me off. My anger amused him… What burns me up most, though, is the fact that he's stronger than me. As I was saying… he trotted up.
"Hey Droplet." he chirped annoyingly.
"Don't you have somewhere better to be?" I asked irritably. I already knew his answer. Nope.
"Nope." he smiled largely. I called it.
"Why not?" I persisted, walking toward the entrance.
"'Cause being around you is way more fun than anything I could do." he said in a sweet voice.
"Right… Being around a murderous Eevee is much better than anything else." I said sarcastically. His ears drooped a bit, but that stupid grin didn't leave his face.
"Of course! Anyway… I came to ask if you were comin' down to the bar tonight. We need some extra help, Terri's visiting her grandmother." he explained. Ugh… I hated being called in for work…
I worked part time at Slacking Bar. Original name, right? Anyway, Master decided that we'd all need to keep up public appearances, as to not raise suspicion. That, and he wanted the extra cash. Oh joy…
"Tell Charlie that I'm demanding overtime for being called in on my day off." I replied grumpily before stomping inside the base, ignoring whatever Razor's answer was. A Grumpig rushed up to me before I was even two feet from the entrance.
"Master wishes to see you in his chambers immediately!" she exclaimed before rushing off. I sighed and trudged to the intimidating double doors. I didn't bother knocking before I walked in.
The room was made of stone, with absolutely no windows. Only torches lit the room as I walked in. Master was sitting on his stone 'throne', a grim smirk on his face. Felicity and Burn were already standing in front of him.
"You're late." he said happily. Wonder why he's not upset about that? You'll find out..
"I was only informed of this meeting a few seconds ago." I said flatly, knowing what was coming.
"You know the penalty, Droplet." he smiled wickedly, leaping gracefully from his throne. Master is an Absol, by the way.
"I didn't try to be late." I said defensively. He continued his advance.
"You were still late." he laughed before slashing my chest with his claw, drawing a considerable amount of blood. I hissed in pain before stepping back. The punishment was only beginning, though.
"Stop." I growled, holding back the tears he so desperately wanted to see. Ignoring my plea, he used Bite. The attack was aimed at my back, breaking skin and drawing even more blood. He then jumped back and used Razor Wind. The attack hit my front legs, making them buckle underneath me.
"That's an adequate punishment." he commented before leaping back onto the throne. "Now, bring me the TM's." he ordered.
Burn stepped forward obediently, handing over the bag. Master grinned in excitement before taking all of them out and examining each one. I finally got back to my feet.
"Hmm… Very nice." he commented happily before throwing a Flame Thrower TM, a Blizzard TM, and a Hydro Pump TM at us respectively.
"What am I supposed to do with a Hydro Pump?!" I exclaimed angrily.
"I'm working on locating a Water Stone for your evolution, Droplet." Master replied gleefully before looking at Felicity and Burn. "Felicity, Burn, I need to see you two after Droplet leaves." he said.
"Use the TM's." Master growled. The two touched their paws on them, the disks disappearing. A moment later their eyes flashed blue before returning to their normal colors.
"Very good…" he sneered before turning around. "Now leave, Droplet."
I sighed and turned, wincing at the pain it caused my injuries.
After successfully making it out of his quarters, I limped to the room I shared with Burn and Felicity. It was a simple circular room with three beds set up against one wall, a table with an assortment of berries and fruits, and a chest to keep personal items. There was also a row of hooks to put other things on next to the door, but it wasn't used much.
Sighing, I lay down and close my eyes.
I'll just rest up a bit… before my… shift… I thought sleepily.
