.:Chapter Two:.
Both of the humans laid motionless on the ground, their clothes charred from Manetric's thunderbolt. Jolteon stayed unmoving, but Manetric knew that he was okay, only asleep. Manetric stood over him and watched as he breathed ever so slowly. The last thing that he wanted to do was move him, but there was no way he was going to leave him here with these freaks. He bent down and nudged Jolteon onto his back, and very slowly began to make his way back to the campsite.
Jolteon remained very quiet, making no noise at all except for the occasional moan or snore. Manetric had never been so worried about another being other than his mistress. In fact, the surge of emotions that shot through him as he charged the humans were so adrenaline-filled, he hardly remembered it at all.
The campsite was exactly as it had been left. He sat Jolteon down outside the shelter and sighed as he looked down at him. He did not want Jolteon's master, or his mistress to know anything about this. He knew humans were very sentimental, and started to heal Jolteon's wounds the only way he knew how. He began to lick them.
Jolteon's fur was very sharp and cut at Manetric's tounge, but as it became wet his soft skin was revealed. Manetric could taste Jolteon's bitter blood and could feel his soft cool skin. Manetric jerked his head back. A very unusual thought had appeared in his head. A most peculier thought. A thought that most would deem strange. This thought was something Manetric had never been faced with before. It made him think very hard and evaluate his feelings deeply. Did he... love Jolteon? This was an alien feeling to Manetric. He had never been physically attracted to anything before now, and even though he figured the day would come, he never thought it would be with a male, nor with one of his closest friends. Not Jolteon.
Manetric returned the younger pokemon to his master's side and curled up next his beloved mistress, his mind buzzing. He tried to think of rational excuses to what he was experiencing, but his mind kept returning to the thought of spending his life with Jolteon. The feelings he was experiencing were very sudden, and had never been directed at Jolteon in the entire time Manetric had known him. Though here they were running around in his mind. Manetric looked over at his newfound love and sighed once more. He tossed and turned slightly but returned to his sleep soon after.
"He can't know about this." Manetric sighed under his breath. He did not want to scare Jolteon away by announcing such strong feelings right out the bat. No, this needed to stay a secret. "Jolteon needs to be with a correct mate." he said to himself. Deep down he knew that it was not what he truely wanted. It had been a very sudden realization of his feelings, but Manetric now knew that there never could have been anyone else...
