Hey everyone! Hope you're having a good day. I don't really have something to say so... enjoy chapter 3.
-Super
I walked on the road with Sarah on my left shoulder. We were walking since the beginning of the day and as strong as I could be I still need to eat. My stomach made a somewhat strong complaint about the emptiness I was leaving him in. The sound didn't go unnoticed by Sarah who laughs at me for at least 2 minutes and made me feel kinda bad. I made a turn toward the forest.
"So you don't have a favorite kind do you?" She took time to think before answering my question.
"Na. But if you have sweet one it'll be better. And I hate the tomato and aspear berries but I know you like them quite a lot especially tomato berries." She turned her head toward me with a big smile.
"Yeah yeah. Just wait here, I be back in 5 minutes max." I grab her and drop her on the ground, next to a tree. With that I left searching for some berries.
I search for 2 minutes before having enough for two. I jump from branch to branch with the berries in my arms, careful not to drop any of them. I surprised some bird pokemon who were resting on the branch by stopping quickly and disappearing shortly after. Seconds later I was back, finish my run with a flip and on my feet just like a gymnast.
"I didn't took too much time?" I gave her some berries and put mine aside. "Could you tell me why you were following me for about 2 years? I think I have the right to know." I sat beside her resting against the tree biting into an oran berry.
"Don't go crazy and think I'm some sort of stalker. I actually have a weird demand to ask you. I never really knew how to ask you but." She turned her head towards me. "I want you to train me. I want the best just like you. I'm ready to do anything you just have to ask and I'll do it."
It is a rather special demand it's the first time someone ask that. Well, it's not quite right. It's the first time someone come to me like that and ask this. But I have nothing to lose so why not. And some company would be rather nice around.
"I accept."
"Really?!"
"Yup. But why would you ask that of me? It's rather unusual for someone like you to want that. I would like to know your story but not as a friend. I want to know it has your teacher. But if you don't feel like talking about it don't force yourself."
"No, I'm ok with that. But should I call you master or something from now on?" I shock my head. I don't like being call like this it makes me feel weird.
"No. Just Shiro." She lied down and look over the horizon. The sun at pass the middle of the sky and was beginning to fall in the sky. In a couple of minutes it would be night.
"Well, it all started about 4 years ago. I'm born in a family where fighting is in the blood. My dad is a flareon like you but with normal color. My mother is a glaceon, her face was always empty. It looks like she couldn't feel any emotions. My parents are like make to be with each others. They just seem to complete the other one almost perfectly. My father trained my 2 brother and I during 1 years. It was like being in hell." I began to laugh because she doesn't know my past. She didn't what I went through. At least for now.
"What's so funny bout this?" I shocked lightly. A smile appearing on my face.
"You'll understand later. I'll explain it after just continue."
" Ok…so I was always behind and I just wasn't able to keep up with them. We walked, swim or fight for hours. My paw hurt so much I didn't feel anything afterwards. One day he even try to drown me because I couldn't hold my breath long. He would beat us if we couldn't stand. My mom didn't do anything to stop him, she just healed our wounds and feet us. That's it. One day my father had enough and kick me out. He said I was slowing down my brothers and I would only be able to see him if I could one day stand to him. I search for 7 months before coming to the city, desperate. I stay until I saw your fight, I was mesmerized by your fighting style. I just saw in you a teacher and I followed you until you save me."
Her story. In some way is just like mine. But that doesn't change the fact she is now my student or at least something like it. I won't hide it, I'm not sure what I'm suppose to teach her but we'll see. As I look up in the sky the darkness of the night had surrounded us. She was about to say something but I stop her.
"Before we call it a day I want you to answer a question. Why do people try to kill me But accept my presence when they need me? Consider it your first assignment. I give you until tomorrow to give me an answer."
She looked at me wondering what I met. If only she could understand what it means to me. I'll have to show her part of my world later. She has a lot learn if she want to be like me. And some of these can't be explained they need to be seen or experienced. We'll need to visit places few peoples know or have the courage to see.
I changed back into an flareon. I walk toward her and wrapped my fluffy tail around her body. She gave me another questioning look. To reassure her I explained why I do this.
"Look, if you prefer I can make a fire and let you sleep here but risk to burn part of the forest or I use my heat to keep us warm. Your call." She sighed and nodded because she knew I was right. I put my tail around her almost touching my nose.
"Goodnight Sarah." Her answer was muffled by my tail. She snuggled closer to me obviously enjoying the warmth that surrounded her.
I woke up before Sarah. The morning sun barely visible over the mountains. The cold autumn air blowing in my face. The treetops slowly moving with the wind. It is a rather beautiful sight I have the chance to see. It's in these situations that I found myself wondering what I've done. What is right and what is wrong? Sometimes the difference is so small only few people can make the difference. Did I made the right choice, wrapping Sarah into my world.
I felt Sarah's body move next to me. I move to leave her some space to wake up. She slowly opened her eyes and made a cute yawn.
"Man I didn't have a good night sleep like this one since a long time." I chuckle at her. And began to walk toward the road.
"Well come on. If you don't get up I won't wait for ya. We got a long way to go." She quickly walk next to me.
"About the question you ask yesterday. I think that~" I stopped her before she goes into more detail.
"Don't bother to explain now. You'll have time for this later. We have a long way to go." She looked at me and turned her head questioning my statement.
"On that topic, where are we going?"
"We'll go see one of the few peoples I still can trust." Her eyes only reflect the questions she had in mind. "Don't worry she won't eat ya. She's just not the kind to let everyone see her. She lives in the mountains up north I hope you don't mind freezing a bit."
"Nah. But if I do freeze you'll be here to help me." I smiled at her showing my white teeth contrasting with my black neck fur.
"Of course I'll save ya if you need it."
"You're like a light. Showing people and pokemon the way."
"All lights shine brighter in the dark"
