Author's Note: This is my first story that I will have ever made and it is about an Eevee by the name of Midnight and his eventful life going through many up's and down's and struggles. Keep in mind this is my first story so don't review it badly and say "it sucked" tell me what I can do to improve. Also this story is done on my free time so it won't always be updated immediately. This story is inspired by a story I read with the same title but different author although the story will be different in some cases. Chapter breaks are indicated with (0). With that being said I give you "An Eevee's Life". (also the dialogue might be pretty crappy but im open to suggestions to make it better)

Chapter one: Heat in the den

Midnight had just started the week and it was a bit of an odd start for him as his mother said she would be in "heat" soon. He had absolutely no idea what it was but it always made a weird smell and he had to stay away most of the time for the next week and a half. It was going to be a couple of days before she went into heat so he would spend some nice quality time with his family before he had to pretty much avoid them most of the time the exception being supper.

After breakfast he walked over to his sister Rose and asked "Do you want to play some games for a while?" Midnight said.

"Sure! After all I won't be seeing you for a while after a day and a half." Rose responded

"How about tag?" Midnight suggested seeing it would get some energy out and he could give his legs a good stretch. His sister was bigger and older that him though so he sometimes struggled to keep up.

Rose suddenly jumped up and touched him with a paw "Your it!" she said streaking away.

Midnight grinned and charged after her, she always did that but it sometimes made it more enjoyable as they raced around. Midnight still acted like a little kid and he technically was but he was more like a big kid considering his age which was about a year. Midnight finally caught up and got her on the back yelling "Got you!" as he did but in his triumph he stumbled and tripped hitting his head hard on the ground.

Rose immediately ran over to him and inspected him. "Are you okay?" she said as she sniffed him over.

Midnight was pretty dazed but he still mustered up the strength to say "kinda" half laughing at himself as he said it.

"Well your spirit certainly seems fine" Rose teased. This made Midnight get a mischievous look before jumping at her and tackling her.

"Just fine!" he said, and his tackle turned into a hug and he squeezed her tight. Midnight loosened up as he realized she struggled to breath, only then did he remember that he was actually pretty strong for an Eevee.

Suddenly the ferns rustled and his dad, a Flareon walked out. "Are you two done messing around?" he said in a light tone. Midnight and Rose quickly got up and stood straight up as he walked up. Midnight replying with "Yeah, sorry we were just playing before I had to go for a while."

His dad said "Alright then, come on." And he turned and walked toward a sandy hollow which they used to train. Their dad trained them so they would be able to defend themselves if it ever came down to it and each time he said "Only use what I teach you for self-defense, don't purposely get into fights even if you can win them". Midnight didn't really want to get into fights anyway but every once and a while he wanted to see what it was like. Nobody else felt this way however so his dad tended to watch him closely.

His dad said "Alright Rose come at me just like I taught you". Rose jumped at him in a tackle but feinted halfway through throwing off his dad and hit him square though It didn't really affect him. Midnight watched for a while studying it closely so he knew how his dad fought and how best to go at him. Finally Blaze his dad ended the bout by letting Rose up from a pin and said "Good job Rose, now it's your turn Midnight".

Midnight walked up and got in a stance that guarded him but also left it so he could easily go on the offense. "Are you ready?" Blaze said, and with a nod the bout started and Midnight stalked around making sure his strategy was clear in his head. Then he charged with a Quick Attack and then darted to the opposite side to where he was headed and he hit his dad, a loud thump of muscle could be heard and his dad flew a few feet from the unexpected attack. His dad got up but a little slow and surprise in his eyes from the strength he didn't know was there.

Midnight took this chance and came at him with a Tackle but his dad dodged and hit him, Midnight tried this multiple times but it all had the same result. His anger getting the best of him he lunged at his dad hit him with Quick Attack on his chest then Bite on his left foreleg drawing a little blood then he charged an Iron tail but his dad used Tackle and brought him down. The bout got a little more violent each time and he was about to hit his dad in the head with Iron Tail but a screech sounded behind them and his sister Rose screamed "STOP!".

Midnight stopped dead in his tracks and then he realized what happened and he quickly apologized to his dad "Im so sorry! My anger just got the best of me and I lashed out… i-im sorry it won't happen again". By this time Rose stood between them to make sure but Blaze walked over and wrapped him in an embrace calming him down and he said "I know, I know, its ok I know you didn't mean to. Also good fight" he congratulated him.

They both limped back home, Rose supporting Blaze on the walk, the bout left them both injured and they were injured about the same Blaze being a little more injured. Midnight walked in silence, his tail dragging because he knew he did bad. As they approached his mother Violet, a Espeon walked out to greet them but a horrified look came to her face as she saw them. She ran over and said "What happened?" in a very worried tone. Rose quickly explained it as Blaze was in not in a condition to talk and Midnight was sitting quietly in shame. His mother approached him and said "How dare you young man?!" in a sharp voice that made him flinch. His dad spoke up "It's not his he just got angry and I gave in to it".

The rest of the day was quiet other than Midnight approaching his dad once more to say sorry. He was getting tired and he let out a big yawn and curled up to sleep, making a promise first that he wouldn't lash out again.

Midnight woke up after breakfast and stretched, then he went to grab two berries to eat and have his own breakfast. After he finished he breathed in deeply but stiffened as a scent hit his nostrils. Someone's in heat! He thought, but that wasn't supposed to happen for about another day! This put him in a grouchy mood as he would have to leave for a week and a half but he realized that not only his mother was avoiding him but his sister too. They are both in heat! This made him mad because now he couldn't play with his sister.

Blaze walked up to him and said "It's time for you to go for a while buddy, I will see you in a week and a half. But remember to come for supper each night! And be good!".

"Okay" he said, he gave everyone a hug and he left, he would go to the river as it calmed him down. Great, a whole week and a half he thought to himself.
