Chapter 4- The blood, the trauma and the lightning bolt tail.

(Eve)

I woke up extremely early. There was barely any light within our den, I barely make out the silhouette of the berry pile. I walked over to the pile and pulled off a few berries. I began munching down on my berries and I realized that my neck didn't hurt as much. Grant must have healed it up a little.

The morning sunlight leaked through the entrance to the den. My head was eyed down on my berries that I was eating. All I saw was the berries in front of me and my front paws.

I slowly lifted my head up. I stood there frozen. Our den looked like one of those slasher movies that Grant introduced me to! I looked all around, there was blood on the floor, the walls and even the roof! I was beginning to feel sick. I looked over at Grant. He was soaked in blood! I then looked next to him. Horror bled through my body as I saw a severed pikachu tail.

I let out a blood curdling scream.

(Grant)

My eyes opened sluggishly. A sudden scream hit my ears. I looked up and saw Eve as white as a ghost a screaming her little lungs out!

I quickly got up and ran over to her.

"Eve, what's wrong?!" I asked terrified.

She just let out an even louder scream when I did what I did.

(Eve)

Now I felt even worse. I felt my breakfast begin to come up before spewing a multi coloured mess onto the floor of the den.

"Eve! Are you okay?" asked an extremely terrified Grant.

I shook my head before looking around and throwing up again.

"W-what happened to you?" I manged to ask.

(Grant)

I gave her a confused look before looking down at myself. Oh! That's right!

"Eve its okay calm down," I said beginning to stroke her back.

"W-why is there blood everywhere and why is there a pikachu tail on the ground?" she asked before her face changing to a hue of green.

"Well…" I was interrupted by the loud sound of Eve vomiting. Oh boy she must be terrified!

I brang her in for a hug. She responed by pushing her head into my chest and crying. I began slowly petting her head. "shhh…. It's okay, it's okay." I said in a calm and gentle tone.

"G-Grant w-what h-happened whilst I was unconscious?" she asked sobbing.

"Well…. the pikachu came into the den and I maybe, kinda, sorta killed him!" I said.

"Shit Grant! How?" she asked.

"Well first I cut off his tail. I then sliced his throat and blood went spewing everywhere! I then pushed my paw into his still bleeding neck and told him to go die in the forest." I explained.

She gave me an even worse look then before! She looked horrified!

(Eve)

I began to feel sick again. Grant wouldn't do that! He wouldn't kill a pokemon ever! But then I remembered what he told me! 'I would kill a horde of pokemon for your wellbeing!'

I couldn't hold it down any longer! I threw up all over Grant's yellow coat! But he didn't seem to mind, in fact he didn't look too good himself! He had a green hue along his face. I began to back away from him.

(Grant)

I began to think about what had happened last night. The face of the pikachu that my two hands killed! The look of fear in his eyes, I began to suddenly feel an extreme amount of fear inside me. I began to picture his dying and blood pouring face. I began to feel extremely ill. His face of fear with the blood spouting out I just didn't want to think about it at all! But I just couldn't stop! Every time I closed my eyes I saw his dying face, a face that I killed!

My stomach was forcing something up. I began to feel vomit travel its way up my esophagus before coming out in a fast stream from my mouth.

(Eve)

The fear on his face said it all! He was going through trauma! He upchucked about three times before I started to walk towards him.

I slowly put my arm around him. He lunged into my clutching grip before beginning to cry like nothing I had ever seen! As he took the life from that pikachu he must have picked up severe trauma as he realized what he had done! I wasn't sure but I think he had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder!

I began to stroke his back and head. "It's okay Grant! I'm here with you! We will battle what you're going through together!" I said.

He looked up at me. He gave a faint smile to me.

(Grant)

Why did I do it! Why did I do it! Oh god why!

He was just an ordinary pikachu! He may have been bad but nobody deserves to die!

I began crying waterfalls. Eve pulled me in tight. Even though I enjoyed her embrace I just can't get the images of the events of last time out of my head! I think I was beginning to get PTSD!

Eve began telling me that I wasn't alone, that she was by my side, that she will help me deal with what I was going through together!

I looked up at her and gave a faint smile. I began to move my head forward. My lips touched hers and the pain and sorrow lifted off of me as we were locked and within each others embrace.

We broke away. I looked at her and she looked at me.

"Eve….Th-thank you!" I said hugging her even harder.

(Eve)

Grant was really nice. He was suffering so much but still had the courage to push aside what he was feeling just for me!

"Eve?" he asked

"Yes Grant?"

"Do you mind if I destroy the den?" he asked

At first I was going to say no! But I looked around and gaged before saying "Yes, Destroy this piece of shitty memories!"

We walked outside with iron tails charged.

(Grant)

We wandered to the back of the tree and charged up spin dashes. I sliced through and. Eve did as well. We watched As our thought to be peaceful home collapsed in on itself.

I saw something jutting out of the ground. I walked over to it. It was yellow and it was a pikachu tail! I began having flashbacks of the pikachu's bleeding out face and tried to push it away but the trauma was too much! I collapsed on the ground frozen. This was going to be harder to deal with then I originally thought, but as long as I have Eve by my side I will be fine!

"Eve" I began

"Yes babe?"

"can we return to my dimension? I need some time away from here to clear my mind of the events," I said.

"Of course we can Grant! Let's head home!" she said grabbing hold of my left paw. She looked at me and said "Are you ready?"

I nodded my head and gave a faint smile.

I began to think about Eve and how kind and caring she was.

(Eve)

I began to think about how wonderful Grant was. I looked at him and pulled him in for a kiss.

(Grant)

My heart skipped a beat as Eve pulled me in for a lustful kiss. I loved her so much!

Suddenly a bright light engulfed us and our bodies began changing.

We came back to the human universe. We were standing outside my house. We walked inside holding hands. Mary jumped three meters in the air when she saw us.

"Where were you two we were worried sick!" she exclaimed. "it has been weeks since I saw you two! What happened?" she asked.

I looked at Eve. "I think we need to tell them Eve," I said.

"Tell me what?" she asked.

Authors notes: There you go! It seems Grant didn't come out unwounded from his battle after all! How will he deal with his PTSD? how will this affect Grant later on within the story? Will he ever be the same?

Anyway hope you enjoyed reading. As always stay cool, stay awesome and most importantly stay shocking!
