Alright! My fourth story! Please read and review, and I'm really sorry it's so short! I promise, I'll make the next chapter longer AND I'll post the next chapter as soon as I get some new OCs from you guys! Thanks! And here we gooooo!
A young eevee was lying on a bed of grass. She flipped onto her side, moaning. Finally, her eyes shot open and she jolted upward. She banged her head on the low ceiling of her 'room'. She stepped out of the bed and walked out the small door, barely squeezing through. She turned around to see that she had been sleeping in a fallen tree's trunk. She yawned, checking her fur for bugs or critters that could have been crawling all over her while she was sleeping. She shuddered at the thought. As she walked out of the shadow of the tree, her black fur stood out against the bright ground. Her puffy red fur around her neck and tail glinted in the sun. Her bright red eyes shone intensely as she attempted to adjust to the bright light of noon. Shaking her fur, she trotted away from her grass bed, attempting to navigate her way through the unfamiliar woods. Perking her ears, she listened for the sound of rushing water. She faintly heard it among the other forest sounds. Rushing over, she closed her eyes, following her senses telling her where to go. She skidded to a halt in front of a large river. She poked it with her paw, testing its temperature. Finding it was nice and cool, she submerged her body into the water. She slowly lifted her head out of the water, taking in her surroundings. She heard the sound of paws on leaves and dirt.
"Celeste! Where are you? Hey- Ow! Celeste!" The eevee listened closely at the strange noise calling her name. Suddenly, a zigzagoon tumbled out of the dense forest, followed by three or four Beedrill. They turned around and flew back, mumbling something. The eevee gasped at the sight, running to the aid of the zigzagoon.
"Raife?" She spoke, asking the zigzagoon. It opened its eyes.
"Celeste!" The pokemon exclaimed, jumping up and rubbing the eevee affectionately. "Where have you been? I've been looking everywhere for you!" scolded the zigzagoon, Raife. Celeste looked around.
"You tell me! I don't know where I am. I remember yesterday…" Celeste thought. "Uh… What happened yesterday?"
-- FLASHBACK --
Celeste looked around, carefully examining her surroundings.
"Raife! It's safe! You can come out now!" she said. Raife yelped as he tumbled out of a tree, falling in front of Celeste. Celeste giggled a little and sighed. "You need to work on that. How many times is that now?"
"None of your business." Said Raife, slightly annoyed. Celeste chuckled, looking forward again as the zigzagoon brushed himself off.
"Come on, you're my best friend. You don't have to get angry with me." She said as she began to walk away. Raife huffed and walked along side her.
"Where are we going, anyway?" asked Raife. Celeste shrugged. "I just came with you because I wanted to get away from the family for once, you know?" explained Raife. Celeste nodded.
"Me too. I thought it might be nice to walk with just my best friend for once." Said Celeste. Raife blushed, looking away.
"Hey, Celeste… I want to ask you something. Do you-" Before he could finish, a mightyena jumped down from a tree, landing swiftly. Another mightyena jumped on one side of it, and another tunneling out from the ground. Celeste's fur bristled as Raife hid behind her.
"Hey, little ones. How's about you come with us for a second? You know it's not safe to walk by yourselves." Said the mightyena on the farthest left. He laughed and Raife shuddered.
"Yeah… We could take you safely home." Said the one on the farthest right. She held out her paw. Celeste reached out and bit it. The mightyena cried out, rubbing her paw. The one in the middle just sat there, staring at the two little pokemon in front.
"Alright." The mightyena in the middle said. "Have it your way." It jumped upward, throwing a Shadow Ball at Celeste. Raife shoved her away, barely evading the projectile himself. The other mightyena, the only girl, tunneled into the ground, shooting upward under Raife, sending him flying in the air.
"You don't ever attempt to injure me! I am the master of ground moves!" She roared and the earth shook, sending Celeste off her feet. The other mightyena stepped in front of the mightyena using Earthquake.
"My turn. I am the master of grass type moves!" He laughed as vines shot out of the ground, stopping the earthquake. The vines pinned Celeste to the ground. Raife finally came shooting down to the ground, slamming into it. He shook his head before running forward while leaving a trail of white behind him. "Quick Attack won't hurt me!" yelled the pokemon, shooting leaves out. Raife winced and growled as the leaves cut his fur and skin. Celeste watched her friend as he blocked the leaves in front of her. The last mightyena jumped above the others.
"I am the master of the sky!" He yelled, glowing white and crashing into Raife. Raife grabbed the mightyena's snout with his mouth, throwing it to the ground. The other mightyenas stopped their attacks. Raife turned around.
"Let's go, Celeste!" He ran off, but Celeste was so tired from being crushed by Frenzy Plant that she collapsed.
-- END OF FLASHBACK --
Celeste shuddered at the thought of the three mightyena. She turned to Raife.
"Are you okay, by the way? What happened after I blacked out?" she asked. Raife shrugged.
"I didn't know you weren't following me until I was far away from where we were attacked. I don't know who saved you." He said. Celeste sighed. "We better go back to the camp." The camp is where Celeste and Raife's families live. Celeste nodded as they began to walk over to the camp. As soon as they both made it, the two gasped and stared at the sight. The whole camp was in flames. Celeste turned to see mightyena everywhere. One was shooting flames, burning the logs and trees. One was pumping water at some pokemon, drowning them. Celeste recognized three of the mightyena. One was using Aerial Ace and slamming into tall trees, causing them to collapse. Another was using Leaf Storm, driving pokemon back. The last was using Earthquake, causing trees to collapse on the pokemon. Celeste began to run forward, but was stopped. Raife had grabbed her fluffy tail, holding her in place.
"Let go of me!!" she screamed. Raife shook his head.
"If you go down there, you'll be killed!" He yelled back to her. Celeste vigorously shook her head.
"Do you not realize that it's our family down there? They could be dying, and all you care about if yourself!" Celeste ripped her tail out of Raife's grasp, running down the hill. As she ran, she skidded to a halt. The logs and trees that were her home were burnt. There wasn't anything left. Suddenly, she heard voices. She pressed herself to the ground, blending in with the burnt branches.
"Did you see them?" said a voice, which she recognized belonged to the mightyena that using flying type attacks.
"Nope." Said another voice. "We killed everyone, so if they were here they would have died."
"Good. Move out." Said the first mightyena. The mightyena grunted in reply, and Celeste watched them as they trotted out. Celeste readied herself to use Quick Attack when she felt a paw cover her mouth. She turned around to see Raife once again holding her back.
"Get away from me!" She pushed him away. He shook his head.
"You don't stand a chance against them, Celeste!" he said.
"Do you realize what happened? They were looking for us! If it weren't for our stupid walk, everyone would still be alive! EVERYONE!" She screamed. Raife flinched at the loud screaming, hoping she wouldn't be heard. "It's all your fault! I hate you!" She screamed, running away. She didn't know where she was going, but she was getting away from there. Away from him.
'It's all his fault.' She thought. 'They would all be still alive… If only I… I…' Celeste roared in anger as she head butted a tree. Tears ran down her fur, and she angrily brushed them away. Running farther and farther into the forest, she tripped over her paw and tumbled to the ground. She put her head into the ground and sobbed, thinking about her mother, her father, and her own baby brother. Her mother was a Flareon, her father an Umbreon. That's where she got her fur color. Her brother was a dark brown eevee with yellow fur around his neck and tail, and a small stripe on his side. He wasn't even a couple weeks old. Celeste dug her claws into the ground as she angrily ripped out dirt.
"Yes, that's right little one. Focus that anger… Focus it until it rips you apart." Said a voice, far, far away from where Celeste was standing.
