? POV

"Father," The small Dewott approached the old samurrot, bowing his head.

"Son." The samurrot couldn't even open his eyes from where he lay. "What is it now?"

He is so close ... The Dewott shook his head. He would not let himself think such thoughts. "An outsider has been spotted ten miles from the borders."

"What?!" The word sent a violent cough through his body. "Describe the intruder. I want it found."

It. Is that all they are now? "She is a Leafeon. A jagged pink scar runs through her right eye, and stretches above her left one. She is currently unconscious, and yells out in her sleep."

"And what does she yell?"

"'Dim'. She sounds very fearful of this 'Dim'."

"Bring her to me tomorrow. I will wait on my throne."

"But fath-"

The old Samurrot opened his eyes now and look at his son. "This sickness is off and on. I'll be fine tomorrow!"

The Dewott knew he couldn't argue. That was a direct order from the king himself. "Yes father."

Rose's POV

"Wake up," Small paws shook her awake from yet another nightmare. A Dewott looked down at her, curiosity gleaming in his eyes.

She sat up. Rose was in a small room with a large bed taking up most of the space. A window behind her revealed that in was nighttime. "Where am I?"

"I can't tell you."

"Why not?"

"I can't tell you that either,"

"Why not?!"

The Dewott scowled. His face grew stern. "You will be meeting my father tomorrow. I suggest you learn how to respect people of higher social class."

"I suggest answering some questions!"

He hesitated. "Fine! But only one!"

I have to be careful. He might not answer my question. "What are you planning to do with me?" The words sent a chill down her back.

"I guess that depends on who you are. Now go to sleep." He walked out of the room and shut the door, growling something about girls.

"He really shouldn't be so vain." A new voice whispered. Rose froze. The voice was exactly like the one that had taunted her in her nightmares. "Who are you?" She whimpered.

"I am everything you want to be." It said eerily. "Can't you see me?"

"Oh," It snickered. "I forgot. He erased half of your sight and gave you that pretty little pink stripe through your eye."

"Don't you want your sight back?" He asked. Sympathy filled his voice. "I know how."

"Do you?" Rose wanted to believe him with all of her heart. "Of course I do! Darling," He cooed. "I know everything."

"Then tell me how to go back home!"

"Why would you want to go back there? Do you think they'd welcome you?"

A vision filled her blind eye. It showed her house and Mary. She was on the phone, talking to someone. "Oh no, she didn't come home yesterday! An umbreon showed up and told me that he had finished her off for me!"

She laughed. No... The vision faded.

"Darling Rose. They won't miss you. Your father is already gone and your mother rejoices in heaven. Mary knew that you were going to go home and never return. Dim cut through your eye with no remorse. And did he help you? No! He watched you fall and hoped that you had died. They are liars and cheats. Your destiny lies here. You must stay."

She felt herself being whisked back to Dim's attack. She saw him leap at her and laugh as she fell down the drain. She saw her father leave for his business trip and not bother to say bye. She saw Mary smirking as she was sent to school.

"Listen to me. You will go see the king tomorrow. You will not bow down to him. Then you must tell him that you are here to train as a soldier. I will take it from there."

"I understand."

"Good. Then we can get back at those brutes. It'll be fun!" With a laugh, the voice faded away.

Dim. You caused this. You erased my sight. Fury burned through her.

And now I'll erase you.

Sorry for the short chapter and for not posting last week. The internet was down, but I SURVIVED! Anyway, if you have any suggestions shoot me a PM and if you have any questions, ask me via review, please! As always, leave a review, but no flaming blah blah blah. Fun facts:

- Rose's Revenge happens before Zorua and the Mystery of the Confinement Jewel. It plays an important role in the story.

- Rose's Mom, Sara (Or Poppet), was killed by a sickness with no known cure.

- The Dewott in this chapter's name is Ripple. His father's is Tide.

- The voice speaking to Rose twisted her memories.

- The title of this story went through some changes going from Chi's Tale to Rose's Tale to Rose's Thorns and then finally to Rose's Revenge.

- Sara eventually evolved into an Espeon.

- Dim's name was originally Vapor because his father wanted him to be a vaporeon. His Dad changed it after he evolved and started ignoring his son more after that.

- Dim's character was inspired by Jasper (Steven Universe) and Breezepelt (Warriors)

That's all for today! Thanks for reading!
