Hey guys, author here. This is my first fan fiction, so I would love to get as much criticism as possible, but be constructive. But I can't really do anything about that can I. Oh well, I think I got some ideas for this story, but I'm only writing this because I have read all the amazing Espeon and Umbreon stories and I ran out of finished material. Now with that stated I want you guys to have some input into this story too and make this a community story. Once I figure out pretty much how this story is going to end then I will stop taking major suggestions. Now that we got this introduction out of the way, into the story.

I do not own Pokemon, but I do own the characters I made for this story.

Two Hearts Eclipse

Chapter 1 Castle Crasher Astral POV

December 16 (A Year Ago)

Chasing the wind was the story of my life. I had never found a day that I wasn't out looking for my mother Nora. My father told me I made her leave just because she left soon after I was born, but I believe it was because of my father and his infinite flaws. He wasn't just an abusive Jolteon that shocked me whenever he thought of my mother, but he had gotten into drugs, stole countless things from everyone we know, and almost killed my older brother.

The last time I saw Taylor he was an Eevee, if he's still out there he could be any Eeveelution, but I never got close to him, so I didn't ever feel the need to find him. However, the idea of shocks being sent through my body because "I ran my mother off" burdened me and sent me out on a life quest. At the age of fifteen, which was only a little over a year ago, I set out as a strong, young Umbreon during the night. I ran surprisingly fast, well faster than an Umbreon could normally run at least. Each time I was close to second guessing myself I looked at the scars that scattered my body and picked up my speed.

Of course all of that's in the past and what's important is that I find my mother and learn why she ran away and why I took fifteen years worth of beatings. I wasn't mad at her, but I was starting to question why I called a person who left my life so early a mother. I guess it's because I never really had a father either.


December 20

It was rough tonight in the cold December. It only got colder and colder as it became closer and closer to Christmas making me envious of the Pokemon I passed that were happy to be warm inside houses with their owners. I myself never accepted help from humans, but didn't have a reason other than the fear of being beaten again. But tonight I decided to take a chance and head to the most human inhabited (or at least looked like it) area I could find and hope I blended in with the Pokemon they had as "pets". I climbed a hill pass the small village I stayed in for the previous few weeks and entered the court yards of a castle. It looked very large compared to the houses I excavated trash from, but it seemed small. It was going to be tough to get in, but I had the most brilliant idea of heading for the highest bedroom and hope the walls were sound proof. I wasn't going to kill anyone, but I might scare the human inhabiting the room as it still stayed lit during the night.

When I got closer I noticed huge Pokemon that had the shapes of Rhyperior guarding the castle. It was an odd sight to see so many Pokemon for one small castle, especially that of a human, but at the time I was focused on getting in. I swiftly made a leap from the top of the hill onto the roof and ran over to the bedroom and peaked into the room bringing myself into my current situation.

The castle that I thought was owned by humans seemed to be owned by Espeons. "Who is it?" the Espeon asked as she turned around. My heart began to beat a little faster as I heard her angelic voice. I had never felt a feeling like this until now. I wanted more of it, and I wanted more of her voice, but she interrupted my thoughts with a hushed scream probably not wanting to awake anyone else. "What are you doing in here you filthy beast?!"

I flinched and looked at her with a hurt expression, "Excuse me? 'Filthy beast'? Is that how you treat everyone who isn't fortunate enough to be a princess like you?" I shot back with venom.

I guess that was the wrong response because a fire grew in her eyes as she cursed under her breath slowly building up and saying, "Don't ever call me a princess!" She scared me, but I was more concerned of how I hurt such a pretty girl's feelings, so I just sat there thinking of ways to apologize. "I'm sorry," she finally spoke up. "You must not be of the others, but please get out of my room before both of us are dead."

"I don't understand, did I do something wrong?" I questioned, "I mean besides breaking into here. Do you not like Umbreons?"

"Well, since you asked so nicely," She stated, "There has been a hundred year war going on between the Umbreon and Espeon of the two clans nearby. Although now it's just hatred between the two groups, it used to be bloodshed and crimes, committed just because… well… I don't really know why." She stopped and stared straight down in deep thought. I just stared at her with a curious look and smiled a little.

"So, why didn't punish me for being an Umbreon, I mean besides yelling at me?" I questioned trying to be as nice as possibly while still managing to keeping anger in my voice.

"Just between the two of us. I want to treat all of the Eeveelutions fairly. In fact, my younger sister Grace wants to become a Glaceon, but our parents don't agree and want her to be an Espeon." She paused and a tear dripped from her face as she continued to look down. "The other night. They caught her training around the large ice rock in the forest." She started crying more frequently and put her head on her paws. I looked down at her this time with a frown, but waited for her to continue. "They brought her back to her room and I heard them beating her with a belt. I didn't get to see her for a whole week." She paused once more. "She still has faint marks where she was hit."

She got closer to me and looked into my eyes and I saw the pain that I felt when my father would tell me I made my mother leave. I wiped some tears off of her face and nuzzled her. It would've been awkward if it wasn't such an emotion moment for a random Pokemon who just broke into your room to touch you, especially for comfort, but she smiled which in turn made me smile.

"I'm sorry." Was all I could make out with a croak in my voice. It left us silent for what seemed like hours.

"You can stay under my bed for tonight, but you should start looking for a new place sometime soon. I don't know how long I can smuggle an Umbreon in our castle." She said breaking the silence and getting ready to sleep. "By the way, my name's Aurora, and you are?" She questioned me with a much brighter tone before turning off the lights.

"My name's Astral, pleasure to meet you Aurora." I said blushing while I said her name, but she couldn't tell since I hid under her bed. For some reason I felt like my life was taking a full 180 today and it all started with Aurora.

Thanks for sticking around until the end. I'm going to try and post at least one chapter a week before school. The schedule will definitely change when that happens, but I don't know if the story will be that long. I hope to make this as interesting and slowly paced as possible while still bringing some romance into the story. I will switch between the points of views, but I don't think I will mid chapter. Please favourite this story and make sure to check back soon.
