He was a human. I was an Eevee. As a child he had saved me from an Ekans. Taking me with him, he nursed my injuries and gave me a home. He offered me all I could ever need and I was happy, for the time being.
Together we grew up as the years passed. The simple adoration I felt for my dear Tyler blossomed into something more. His adolescent pain became my heartbreak. All too soon his simple scholl boy crushes turned into teenage love.
Seeing him, being near him while he sat there, dreaming of his love, his human love, broke my heart. The day came where my unrequited love grew too painful to allow me to stay, so I left.
This is where I am today; alone and lost, searching for a way for us to be truly together, in both heart and soul.
Days passed and I grew weary. Those days turned into weeks, weeks into months. Tired and hungry, I searched for an answer or a way tp mend my sore heart.
Winter approached, cold and bitter. Food became scarce. My fur began to thin against the harsh winds. More and more of my time was spent sleeping fitfully, moving in and out of consious awareness.
I lost all recollection of time as my heart froze inside me. As each frigid shared froze together I began to hear a voice.
"Dear child, this isn't your time!" maternal warmth was laced into the voice. My iced over heart began to thaw. "Look around you! Spring has returned, much as you must." Slowly I opened my eyes into sunlight. Song birds sat, cooing in the trees as I pushed myself up.
"I can't go back. This love I feel will kill me for sure!" I said, speaking to the voice. "He can never love me the way I do for him!" Shaking out my fur, I looked up at thhe bright blue sky. "Fur, claws and a tail. He wants hair, manicured nails and two legs. To him I'm nothing more than a pet!" I spat out, holding back bitter tears.
"Dearie love, you mustn't fret. I will give you a gift." An Espion materalized in front of me. Tail twitching, she raised a paw. Pale blue light emitted softly as she began to speak again. "A chance for love, for you and he. I wish you luck and happiness, my baby-bee. Four days I grant you, for your love is true." The light began to shine on me and I felt a warm breeze circling me. A blast of sharp pain ran down my back and I lost consiousness.
Now, I'm awake, and different. Immediately after awakening I stumbled on two legs to the pond. Staring back at me was a young woman with brown eyes. My eyes. Her hair was long and brown with frosted white tips, just like my fur. I raised a trembling hand (!) to my face. the reflection mirrored me. A gold chain hung off my neck and a lavender dress hung off my new slim frame.
High above me came the Espion's voice. "Four days is all you have poppet. He must say he loves you, and he must mean it. Good luck!" Suddenly I was pulled into the air, twirling and gasping for breath. Squeezing my eyes shut, I didn't open them until both my new feet were on the ground. When I did, I found myself on Tyler's front porch.
