Summer's POV
Summer ran around a red rock and hid behind it. The Sylveon with bandages on her head and neck and a blue gem necklace had saw her. I hope she doesn't report me! Summer thought, then sighed, She probably won't but I should be getting home, Ruby don't like me anywhere near here. I just had to see him… I wonder where he was…. Summer ran around the rocky terrain. She always saw him eating his lunch, he would always give her the bread to give to the hungry children at her mountain home. They always felt like her sisters and bothers.
Where was he? Maybe he was sick? In the labs? Summer shivered at the thought of him with three eyes or seven feet. Summer ran so far that she could not see the lab anymore. She loved her family, but she felt like a outsider because she had weird green fur with blue splashes on her ears, tails, and paws. She also had yellow gem on her head. She felt like a freak because Ruby tried not to touch her and often told her kits, Storm and Fearless not to get to close to her, for fear of them getting germs.
At least Lime likes me… Summer thought fondly of Lime, the shiny Jolteon with a big heart. Summer looked at the red rock in front of her. She had walked up one of the mountains. She brushed off the dust on it to reveal a symbol of a peace sign. Summer turned and walked to a small rock and pressed the button under a pebble on top of it. The big rock with the peace sign slid over to reveal a tunnel. Summer walked down its fire lit halls and came to a big beehive like cave. In the many holes in the walls, tons of pokemon sat, guarding the pokemon in the dim room.
Summer climbed up the rock stares until she came to a cave where a Sylveon and Leafeon where standing at the door. "Where have you've been?!" The Sylveon with green eyes yelled, "Lime and her kits where worried about you!" "...Sorry, Lem." The Leafeon sighed, "Give her a break! She got here a little after the start of the sunset. It is not like she got here in the middle of the night." "Thanks, Beetle." She passed the two boys and walked into a small cave.
The walls were lined with ancient stories that seemed to dance in the light of the fire. There was only one fire in the room, the campfire had a pot over it. The room had five big nest made of leaves and blankets. "You're back!" Moana, Elsa, and Mulan said, hugging Summer. Summer smiled and pulled off the satchel around her chest. "I got you all something!" She said pulling out three small bundles, "First the oldest, Moana," Summer said giving the shiny Vaporeon a small blue bag, "Elsa," She said handing the shiny Glaceon a silver bag, "and Mulan." She said giving the small shiny Flareon a yellow bag.
They all quickly opened the bags and all pulled out different color scarves. Moana put on her bright sky blue with dark blue waves. Elsa put on her white scarf with rainbow speckle, and Mulan put on her pink with orange flamed striped scarf and smiled, "I love it! Thank you so much!" Summer smiled back and laid in her nest, resting her tired legs. "I am hungry, what is for supper?" Lime smiled and looked nodded to the pot above the fire, "Potato cheese soup. Ruby took Storm and Fearless to get more spices at The Hive Market."
Summer always thought it was clever to name the little place they lived in 'The Hive' because the cliff's walls looked like bee hives with all the caves. Summer pulled out the money she stole from the pokemon she saw at the Lab-controlled city of Nordaro. She counted them all and found that she had stolen five dollars and seventeen cents. She had spent ten dollars on the scarves. Normally, she would bring back all of the money but when she saw how sad they looked when Lem and Ruby bought their children, Storm and Lem toys with the money Beetle and Lime where saving for their children's hatching day. Ruby and Lem didn't know that they were saving but Summer could not stand seeing them look so sad seeing Storm and Fearless get toys when they had not gotten any new ones since their last hatching day.
"I'm back!" Ruby said as she walked in the door with her sons racing infront of her. "You're too slow, I will be the fastest eevee in the Hive!" Storm said as he said as he used Tackle on Fearless. "Oh yeah? Well you are to stupid! I will be the smartest eevee in the Hive! The handsomest too!" He said with a smug look on his face as he used Hidden Power on his little brother. "My children are the best in all of the Hive!" Ruby said with a smug look on her face as she hugged them both tight.
Lime and Beetle's daughters looked annoyed at the two eevees with big egos. Fearless seemed to inherit his mother's smartness and biggest ego ever and Storm must have inherited his father's speed but also got his stupidness. Lem trotted in after his family and smiled with his nose in the air. "My family is the best in the land!" He boasted. "Um… Mom?" Mulan said, looking perplexed. "Just say nothing," Moana said to her little sister, "You can't stop them when they get like this." Elsa giggled and hugged her favorite toy, a stuffed Sylveon, a little closer and sat down on the rocky floor of their home.
"Hey Summer, that Umbreon we saved woke up. You might wanna see this." A Leafeon named Rabbit said as she ran into the cave. Summer sat up and followed Rabbit to the Hive Hospital. The Umbreon, seeing her, sat up and stared around in confusion. "Where am I?" She looked scared. "And who are all of you?" Summer felt sympathetic with her. She was only a little eevee when her new family saved her and took her in. "I'm Summer. You were in the Labs, a horrible place, but you're safe now. When we snuck you out, we managed to get one of the tag removers, so we used it on you and disposed of the tag." The umbreon didn't need to know that they melted it down and sold it at the market. "You're safe now." Summer smiled, and the umbreon smiled back, reminding her of that sylveon she saw at the Lab. Who was that… and why did it feel like I knew her…
