Hey guys! Temporary Header!
Alright, I know there's been a lot of hiatus recently, but that's been mostly because of school work and stuff. Somewhere within the depths of this fanfic, I did say that I planned to finish this fanfic before I graduated. High school. That did not happen.
So technically speaking... this fanfic is not done. At the attempt to have myself try to continue writing this, I'm going to try to finish this fanfic by 2018, when I graduate. College.
Sad to say, I did not work at all on this fanfic like I hoped to during the hiatus; but I did work on other projects I did wish to forsee in the the future, like a card game I've been working on soon to be put on a popular crowdfunding site. Details on that later- but for now, I should say this now:
-I am not killing off Life: Luxray. I wish to still work on this fanfic.-
Working on this fanfic has truly been in honor to everyone who has been silently reading this without giving reviews. I'm not being passive aggressive, I'll make that clear; seeing the views I've been starting to get throughout the world... even without the reviews, it was still enough to keep me going to...writing almost 50 chapters. Apparently.
I'll be truthful to everyone; most of these chapters have never been planned out. It's just been fleshed out from scratch the second I type; the chapters afterward may have just happen to connect to ideas or have just been the exact same thing: made from scratch the second I type. Now, I do plan to attempt to at least plan out here and there to know where I should write and what chapter I should get to before moving around. Nonetheless, I have enjoyed writing every bit of what it stands now.
By the way, to a certain concerned reader, I'm probably not leaving the format I have this on this fanfic, switching from one POV to another, because it is life. Kinda. I do, however, for another concerned reader, plan to try to write a bit more each chapter. Because of this, I do plan on writing more, as I am writing a (furry) novel and hopefully publish in the near future. And because of this and the novel, my writing style will change, so bear that too.
So... if you're a returning reader, thank you for reading this with the same expectation you wish to receive with every chapter I post (I have no idea what expectations you hold me for, btw). If you're a new reader to Life: Luxray, sorry for reading... *counting* ...nine (at the time of this current paragraph) paragraphs of thick, blackening words that happen to lean ten degrees to the right over the future of this novel that started in 2010.
Hopefully I can post up another chapter before August of this year. In the meantime...please enjoy reading... Life: Luxray. Thank you for your time.
-July 24, 2015. K9DL.
"Why should I go?" he asked.
"I dunno, she said you had to go," the other one answered in a bored way. He seems to be bored after staying at his house for four hours straight.
"Crap," he said, "When is it?" He didn't like being anywhere at a certain time; actually, at any time he doesn't like to go anywhere by force.
"Uh…not sure. Hold on," he left for a minute, and then came back, "Now."
There was a knock at the door at Luxray's house. He hangs up, walks over to open the door, and sees Absol. He had a blank expression in his face, Aw crap he thinks.
"C'mon, Ray, you haven't gone anywhere, other than the bar. Besides, you have to get outside instead of the dark..." Absol said, looking around the house Luxray is in: somewhat bright near the door at first, but deeper in the house, nothing can be seen.
"Aren't you used to dark places since you're a dark type?" he asked.
"Yeah, but you're not," she responded, "Hey, what's that over there?" she asked. He looked at the direction she's pointing at, when something was stuffed into his mouth; more like covered. Something or someone resisted him from turning. For a while now, he got sleepy; he can barely move, mainly because he's being prevented from moving. Now he's knocked out, and being dragged.
"Hey, he's waking up."
"About freakin' time."
He's still half asleep, half knocked out, and he's hearing voices, voices he's doesn't know. He gets up, seeing 3 images: one a blackish, bluish jackal; the other more of a human. The jackal was holding something, something like a stick, that's lit. The second one was also holding something, more like a can. The last one, it looks more like Absol.
"He's probably still half knocked out," Absol said. The human nodded, putting the can on the counter.
"And, how long has he been outside this week?" the human asked.
"Probably not long, only on his way to the bar," she responded.
"Humph," the jackal-like creature smirked, "a drinker. Probably for not knowing what to do in life." he throws away the stick that was lit to the ground, then steps on it.
"Who are you?" Luxray asked, finally seeing well than earlier that time. He looked around, seeing someone else, looking at the view of the sun.
"Oh yeah, that's right," the jackal said, "I'm Lucario, call me Luke, and that's Alejandro-"
"Call me Alex," Alejandro said.
"I thought that there were no humans here," Luxray questioned, confused.
"In certain places, that's true," Alex said, "while other places, there are humans, but not many."
"There are only so many humans here, more like 5 or 6 in places that actually have humans," Luke responded, "Though it's rare for two humans to ever meet."
"It kinda sucks," Alex said, "but I get over it, besides, not sure how I got here..." He turned to Luxray, "By the way, you're a Luxray, right?"
"Yeah, people call me Ray..." he responded, not sure what to say, "What about that one over there?" He pointed to the one looking at the view.
The other three look at the one who seems alone, Alex is the only one who talks. "That's Glaceon,"
"Oh really…" Luxray said, somehow getting his hopes up.
"He's a guy," Alex said quickly. He doesn't turn, but knows that Luxray was about to gag. "He just depressed, like every day."
Luxray coughs, and asks, "Why is he, cough, depressed?"
"Oh, nothing, just that he broke up…drastically." Alex answered.
"How did it go?" Luxray asked.
"It went a little something like this..." Alex started.
"You promised you won't speak of it again," Glaceon interrupted in a calm voice. He seemed pissed or about to be pissed.
"Don't worry, Glay, he's a friend-"
"We don't even know him!" Glaceon barked, looking back at the crowd.
"Eh, I'll tell him anyway." Alex said.
"You'll regret it later," Glaceon said, looking back into the view.
"Okay," Alex said, now looking back," I think he meant it."
"What makes you say that?" Luxray asked.
"It's his first time saying that phrase.
"Anyway, it went a little somethin' like this..."
2 months ago, Glaceon
Glaceon and Leafeon are on the edge of a hill, seeing the view of the sunset. Both are sitting near each other, both somewhat excited, as if it was their first time.
"Hey Leaf," Glaceon said, "What do you like?"
"Uh," Leafeon said. She thought for about 10 seconds and finally says, "I really like ice cream."
"Like, what do you mean 'like'?"
"Like I really like ice cream, I actually love ice cream," Leafeon said.
"What else do you love?" Glaceon asked, wanting to know now.
"Well," she started, "I love riding."
"Oh really," Glaceon said, not having the smile in his face anymore. He really wants to spray it now. "What else do you love?"
"I've love you," she said, looking at Glaceon.
"Really?"
"Yes."
"No you don't, bitch! You love ice cream and rides!"
"So? You have a problem with that?"
"Yeah, who knows what you do to the fucking ice cream?" Glaceon yells out. Leaf thinks about it for a minute, and gasps of the thought Glaceon made. "Oh, really? You really think I haven't notice? My god, what about the fucking rides? Who else have you did it with?"
Leafeon hesitates for a second and barely says," I-I haven't done it with anyone yet, Glay..."
"Really? Then why did you hesitate?"
"You know, Glay, you don't have to an ass about everything. Why the fuck are you asking me all of these things?"
"Why," he yelled, "WHY?"
"Y' know what? Forget it." Leafeon leaves without saying a word- "Fuck you, Glay (flipping off Glaceon), "...now not saying a word. Glaceon looked back at the sunset and just stares 'till night.
Luxray had a blank expression hearing the story, more like surprised. "Oh my god..."
"Yep," Alex said, "Ever since the day he came back from that moment, we swore to keep it as a secret."
"Did he threaten you if you didn't?" Luxray asked.
One of Alex's long sleeve slides down from his arm being in a 'V' form. A long scar was shown, a dark red color. "Yeah, he did. Wasn't good."
"Wow..." Luxray said. He turned to Glaceon and says, "Hey Gla-"
"I don't want to talk about it," Glaceon interrupted, in a calm voice.
He looked back and says," And why am I here?"
Absol is the first to answer, "Because you need to get out more often."
"And probably to get you out of your 'drinking' habit," Lucario added in.
"How about I take you out from your 'smoking' habit?" Luxray asked.
Lucario made a short laugh and only responds, "Touché."
"But mostly to get you out of your indoor habits," Alex said. Luxray looks down not knowing what to say.
"Sure, whatever," Luxray said after a short pause. Alex walked away to the back from Luxray, most likely to get something. "When do we start?"
Lucario is the only one to speak. Absol walks to the side of Lucario. "Now."
Right after the word 'now', Luxray gets completely knocked out. Alex just hit him with a wooden baseball bat, now broken into pieces.
"Do you think that was really necessary?" Absol asked.
"Probably not," Alex answered, "but we'll have to work with this for now."
"Alright then," Absol said. Lucario only nodded. Later, the 3 drag him out of the house leaving Glaceon alone.
