Dragging her paws on the sand, she headed for the water.
She was slightly limping, and walking slowly. It was the middle of the night, so there is no need to blame her.
The Umbreon walked into the shallow water, waves rushing up against her legs as she stood there.
A tear ran down her face and plopped into the water.
This would be the last time she may ever see the ocean, and it tore her heart apart. The beach is where she first met her husband, a Raichu by the name of Rocky.
She stood for a while, just letting the low waves crash against her.
With a final sigh she stepped out of the ocean and onto the beach. Sand clung to her wet fur as she walked out from the beach and onto a slightly grassy hill above.
The Umbreon walked until she finally reached her home.
As she slipped through the dogdoor into the house tears started to pour down her face. This may be the last time she ever went into the house.
A female human named Tessa ran up to her and hugged her.
"Oh Janice, I was worried when I realized you weren't upstairs sleeping with Rocky. I know you're sad about tomorrow, but you'll come back home and we'll have fun, I promise. I won't let you be cooped up in a cage" The human said to her.
There was no doubt that the human Tessa was her trainer.
[I]That isn't what I'm worried about[/I] The Umbreon thought to herself as a river of tears poured down her face [I]I'm worried for the sake of my child[/I]
Author's note: I know that was short and I apologize. It's just a small prolouge to get you set with the tone of this story, sorrow. I won't spoil anything about chapter 1, but let me just say that things are not how they seem.
