The first thing Espeon saw was darkness. It surrounded her, cold and empty. Immediately she began to thrash around, trying to get out of the emptiness. She soon found that she was in a small hard space, then she hit something soft.
"Ow... Stop Espeon!" A voice said, then a bright blue light filled the small space. An Umbreon with glowing blue circle markings was glaring at her. Umbreon's light revealed that there were in a tiny wooden room.
"Oh Umbre!" Espeon cried, "I'm sorry!" She glanced around, more calm now that there was light, "Where are we?"
Umbreon crinkled his nose, "In a crate, it seems like we are moving."
Espeon paused, Umbreon was right, the crate was slowly rocking, "But how can a crate move?"
Umbreon rolled his eyes, "We are in a car, you know, those big metal things humans use?"
"Oh yeah..." Then the lights went out. Espeon immediately stiffened.
"Calm down! I can't use Flash forever!" Umbreon briefly lit up his tail, then dimmed it again, "Besides, the darkness is kind of calming."
Espeon shook her head, then pressed closer to Umbreon.
He pushed her away, "Move over, there's hardly any room in here already."
"I don't like the dark," Espeon said, curling up into a ball.
"Fine," Umbreon said, his voice softer, "Just try to get to sleep, then we will try to figure out how to get out of her," He used his move Flash, lighting up the dark crate with blue light. Espeon curled up against him again, and he gave her a small lick on her head, "I will get us out of here."
"Umbre," She sniffled, "How did we get in here, what happened?"
"Don't you remember?"
She closed her eyes, "There were people, and- and something hard on my head, and... and... Nothing."
"You took an Iron Tail to the head, that knocked you out. Now try to sleep."
Espeon closed her eyes.
