The huge beast had me in its fist, ready to crush me like a little Caterpie. I knew I was sitting in Death's waiting room, but couldn't exit. I was seconds away from certain death, and I suddenly started thinking about how I got into this mess. Your life does flash before your eyes. I was staring this huge Pokemon in the eyes, and suddenly, I remembered everything leading up to this. I could only think about my backstory, about how me, a humble Espeon, could somehow change everything. About how foolish I was, and about her. I couldn't get her out of my head. She looked up to me, supported me, and I've taken her trust and crumbled it to powder. I just hope, that if she sees me die this horrible death, she'll forgive me. I just want….. forgiveness……… please… forgive me…………

I was born into a family of Eevees. My mother was a Vaporeon, and my father a Flareon. I was the fifth and smallest Eevee of the litter. Naturally, my brothers and most of my sisters considered me the runt. But one of my sisters, an Eevee named Hydra, considered me to be her favorite little brother. Well, I was her only little brother, or sibling for that matter. She was the one closest to my age. I was about one and a half, the earliest I can remember. Hydra was two, Bolt, the oldest and self proclaimed "Leader" was six, Blaze was four, but she would always remind you she was four and a half. My name was Blade, and my parents thought I was destined to be an Umbreon. I hoped not. All my young life, I'd heard stories about how when an Eevee evolves into an Umbreon, he is immediately cut from the family. I hoped my family never deserted me. My youngest older brother was only three years old when I was one and a half. His name was Twilly (A/N "Twilly has a short 'I'") and he was more of a best friend than brother to me. We had some fun times together. Our favorite thing to do was pretend battle each other for fun. We'd call out things like "Hyper Beam!" then throw a pebble at the other. It was really fun. I was never really a physical type. When the others were playing catch, I was inside the den drawing. The only "sport" I enjoyed was hide and seek. I never got beat at that game. The others never found my spot. I always hid in a small cavern behind a poster in my room. They were baffled when I walked out of my room, asking "What's up guys?" Sometimes they said I could disappear! Unfortunately, that did happen one day. We were playing hide and seek and I hid behind the poster as usual. But when I came in, I realized it was smaller than usual. Luckily, Eevees have an innate ability to see in the dark. I saw that there was a big rock where I normally hid. I thought, "that's weird" and pushed it out of the way. Suddenly, a huge storm of rocks bombarded me, crushing me under their weight. I tried to get out, but I was thoroughly stuck. I could feel the rocks sinking lower into my skin, crushing me more with every passing second. At some point I blacked out.

"Hey, I think he's waking up!" "Let me see." "Mommy, is he gonna be OK?" "I don't know, sweetie." I slowly started to open my eyes, not aware where I was or what was going on. The first thing I saw was an Eevee. Her fur was slightly tinted blue, and she looked at me with shock. "Hey guys, he's up!" she called, and then three other Eevees and a Flareon and Vaporeon came over to me. "Are you all right, Blade?" the Flareon asked me. "Yeah, I think. Who are you again?" "He's lost his memory!" Vaporeon screamed, then fainted. "What's with her, dad?" I asked. "Did you fake that amnesia!?" he yelled at me. "Well, kinda…" I replied sheepishly. "That was… GENIUS!" he told me. "Thanks."
After thoroughly examining me for injuries, my mom and dad left the den with Twilly to look for some food. I was at home with Bolt alone because Blaze and Hydra were swimming in the lake. We were sitting in the den, bored as heck, when suddenly, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Bolt and mine's ears bolted up. We looked around before rushing out of the den. When we got to the lake, I was shocked. Blaze was laying about a mile away from the lake, unconscious. "Blaze!" Bolt yelled, rushing to her, me at his side. Bolt shook her with his paw, and she got up slowly. "Oh… What?" she said when she saw us. "Blaze, what happened?" Bolt asked frantically. "Me and Hydra were swimming in that lake and then something big came out of it and attacked us. Hydra's still with it!" Blaze said in one breath. "Oh no… Blade, stay here with Blaze. I'm going after that thing." he said rushing off. "WHAT THING?!?!?" I yelled to him. He either didn't hear me or ignored me, because Bolt kept running toward the lake. "Grr… Blaze, go get mom and dad." "You're not running after that thing?!?" She almost shouted. "I'm not gonna sit here and do nothing while my brother and sister might be dying! Get… Mom… and… Dad… NOW!!!!!!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. Blaze looked jaded at first, then she chuckled and said, "Same old Blade…" before running toward the den. "I hope I'm not too late…" I thought, dashing off to the lake.
