Chapter 3: The Reason Why?
Jamie weaved through the crowd in a attempt to get to his best friend. All he could see was a see of rainbow coloured fur. As he looked up at where Hope was once standing were now two of the head guards.
"We shall not follow that 'things' careless rules." A umbreon moaned.
Jamie was about to argue but he knew nothing would come out of it. That was until he ran into a Jolteon who he hated more than anyone else.
The Jolteons coat was cleaner than anyone else. Every evolved eevee was meant to hunt for there tribe unless they were injured or other reasons but it was obvious this one didn't do any of that. He was too over himself.
"Did you here that little baby, "We have to move cause Im scared of Humans". We can't have a leader like that." The Jolteon mocked.
"That little Eevee up there pinned you in less than 30 seconds didn't she, Spike. And anyway she isn't doing this for her she's doing it for all of us do we don't end up with trainers."
Spike glared at young Jamie's comments. "So then you thing your all awesome just cause of that. Well then little Eevee I'll tell you something. We will attack your little princess."
Spike walked of and the crowd faded more and more. Jamie now wanted to see Hope more than ever but he didn't know how.
When he approached her den there were two guards standing by. As he approached they lowered there tails in Iron form to block the path.
The Queen walked up at that moment and looked at the young rustled up Eevee.
"Let him in boys." She sighed. "Come in Jamie."
Jamie wasn't one with manners but now he had to impress The Queen.
"Jamie." Hope smiled sitting up.
"Hey Hope. Are you okay?" Jamie asked seeing his friends teary eyes.
"I guess." She sighed then paused. "You will come will you not? I mean half the tribe don't seem to want to."
"Yeah of course I'll come. But I have to warn you Spike and is friends defiantly don't like it and they want to attack you."
"Well now I am prepared are you?" Hope asked smiling.
Jamie nodded.
"What are you two planning on doing?" The queen asked noticing there sudden excitement. Before she got answer they were out the den.
"Children." She sighed.
Jamie and Hope sprinted across the open clearing in the tribe into a nearby bush. Being respectful Jamie used his tail to flatten it down before Hope entered. Playfully she bashed him on the head.
After about twenty minuets Spike, a Flareon and a Umbreon walked into the clearing and began heading to Hope's den.
Hope nodded at Jamie and quietly they crept out before leaping into the air firing a shadow ball, powered up with a iron tail.
Spike's mates were taken out an he was completely clueless. Then Jamie used helping hand on his friend while she charged up a ultra-powerful shadow ball.
Once it was ready Hope aimed straight for the spiky bully. It smashed all over his prickly coat and he fell in a heap to the ground. Some of his precious spikes had been chipped, bent or just twisted.
"What the heck you little-" Spike began angrily.
"Your highness if you have the slightest bit of sense." Hope sighed.
Jamie was there at her side standing strongly.
"I don't care. I will not be making the journey with the so called waste of a tribe. You can't make me." Spike hissed before hobbling off muttering.
His followers were not long after.
"Hey Hope. " Jamie said then paused. "Not everyone wants to make this journey, well hardly anyone and Spikes right you cannot force them to go, what are we going to do?"
Hope stopped. "We! Jamie no, this is my problem. It means a lot that your there for me but my problems must remain mine. If you want to help just make sure you are departing tomorrow with us."
Hope dashed of her silver coat shinning in the moonlight. Jamie was left alone in the clearing. Jamie's farther was a loyal warrior in the tribe who would follow Hope and her mother but he was not known to many. Jamie would always stand beside Hope he just wished he could do more.
A single leaf was blown by the wind and landed near Jamie. Carefully he sniffed before touching it with his paw. The leaf was a perfect maple leaf like the ones carved on the nearby cave. Maybe this was a sign of Hope. Maybe a sign of bad things to come.
