A Lover's Nightmare

Chapter 10

By Luna the Darkrai

Midnight's P.O.V

When Midnight woke up a few hours later, she found herself alone with Darkrai nowhere in sight. Midnight winced at the sharp pain she felt in her lower regions as she sat up. She remembers that she was birthing and then…

"Ugggg…" She mumbled as she rubbed her head, which felt like a rampardos smashed it. The pain dulled down after a few moments of shaking her head side to side.

She looked around for signs of her eggs, in which she remember in her unconsciousness that there were two of them.

She looked left to right then behind her. Nowhere in sight as far as she could see.

Not seeing them caused panic to rise in her chest. She jumped to her feet, ignoring the pain that ensued with it. She bristled as she called out. "DARKRAI!"

…. No answer

Midnight shivered and looked around seeing if he was coming. After a few moments, she called out again. "DARKRAI WHERE ARE YOU?"

….. Still no answer.

Midnight let out a low whimper as thoughts ran through her head like a stampeding herd of rapidash.

Did Darkrai take them?

What if a predator got them?

Maybe…. Just maybe….

She let out a cry of fear as she looked around panicking. The thought of her eggs being gone when she just had them not that long ago was almost too much for Midnight to bear. Was she really that bad if a mother that she lost her eggs even before she could carry them to the nest? Is she really that bad?

All of sudden a soft female voice called out to her. "W-What are you looking for?" Midnight jumped up a little as she looked around. Michael was still passed out… Then who talked?

She felt something tap her back and she turned around startled. In front of her was a young Kirlia. The Kirlia tilted her head at Midnight and she quietly said. "Are you okay? You were panicking… Did something happen?" She asked in the most innocent voice Midnight had ever heard. This Kirlia was very cute, probably haven't been out in the world for no more than a few years. Which means she is very Naïve?

It seem like she couldn't have taken the eggs, but even the cutest things can be killers. Any pokemon would be willing to kill off a darkrai if the had a chance. Even if they were eggs.

Midnight narrowed her eyes at the Kirlia and softly growled in her darkest voice. "Where are my eggs?" The Kirlia took a step back startled by Midnight's sudden hostility. "Erm…. I saw them being taken away by another darkrai…." She muttered looking down towards the ground quietly.

Darkrai….

Midnight let out a loud hiss and looked around. "Where did he go?" She growled looking down towards the now frightened Kirlia.

There was a groan as Michael began to wake up and then he sat up with another groan.

"Uggg…. Midnight?" He mumbled turning towards the female darkrai. Midnight kept silent waiting for the human to become well again. When Michael got up Midnight quickly floated over to him and began checking him over.

She wanted to make sure that Darkrai didn't try to harm the human in anyway. But when she saw that nothing was wrong with Michael, she floated away from him and let out a soft cough.

Michael tilted his head at Midnight and then scratched the back of his head. "Erm… What's wrong Midnight?"

Midnight let out a low hiss and then said in a dark voice. "My eggs… They were stolen…." Michael's eyes widened at this statement and he stammered in a quiet voice. "W-Who?"

Midnight let her head hang as she muttered under her breath. "I-I think my former make took them…." Michael let out a startled cry and then asked quickly. "Who's that?"

Midnight didn't answer because she turned to the Kirlia and asked softly. "Where did he go?" The Kirlia's blue eyes wavered as she quietly said. "He left hours ago… I don't know where he went…"

Midnight let out a frustrated hiss as she turned to Michael as she hissed. "Which way is Nightmare?" Michael sweat dropped and then looked side to side before pointing dew north. "That way… But I do-" He was quickly cut off when Midnight turned to the Kirlia.

"What's your name?" She asked as she slowly walked over to the young Kirlia. The Kirlia nervously laughed then answered as quietly as possible. "Iris…." Midnight crossed her arms and then turned around. "Come on you two lets go find Nightmare…."

Iris and Michael looked at each other trying to make sense of this order. But finally after a few moments, Iris smiled and ran after Midnight calling out. "WAIT UP!"

Michael paused for a few moments and then shivered at the thought of being alone. Without another thought, he ran after the two females.

The Village

Orion's P.O.V.

A few hours later

Orion stood outside of Nightmare's room waiting for the horrid news that seemed to be worse and worse every passing moment. The door opened and Nurse Joy came out shaking her head slowly.

"Orion…. I am sorry… He is able to heal the rest of his wounds; it's just that a blow to his head… Well…" She looked down biting her lip until it bled. "Caused the frontal lob of his brain, the part where sight is enabled, to be damaged… He won't be able to see for the rest of his life. I am sorry" She then turned and left back into Nightmare's room, leaving Orion unable to speak.

Orion looked down towards his feet speechless as the reality of his situation fell upon him with force. He shuddered as a tremor of fear swept through his body. He had just ruined another living creature's life. He had blinded some poor soul with his own two hands just because of his temper….

Orion let out a shuddering gasp and then looked towards the door. He wanted to know if Nightmare would forgive him, but that was very unlikely as far as he knew the darkrai.

He bites his lip as he tried to decide whether to go into the room and talk to the creature or to stay out here and not face Nightmare's wrath. But he knew if he didn't that Nightmare would haunt his mind for the rest of his natural born life.

Making up his mind, Orion walked over to the door and knocked three times then waited. First there was silence then Nurse Joy called out loudly. "COME IN!" Sucking in a painful breath, he opened the door and entered silently.

Nightmare was sitting up on the cot as Nurse Joy dress his wounds carefully. The smell of blood and sickness assaulted the gallade's nose as he walked closer to the two. Nightmare didn't seem to respond when he got up close to the bed.

Orion stood there silent for a few moments as he watched Nurse Joy finish her work. Nurse Joy got up and then patted Nightmare on the arm softly as she said. "I'll be back in an hour… Take it easy…" Then she turned and left out of the room nodding at Orion as she passed by the gallade.

As soon as the nurse left Nightmare began growling deeply at nothing. "Yeah, Right…." He hissed laying back into the cot as he crossed his arms over his chest. "I'll take it easy… Freaking bitch." Orion cleared his throat causing Nightmare's head to snap up and looked around.

"Is some one here? Is that you Midnight?" He called out as he began feeling around him for some body part. Orion scratched the back of his head and then quietly muttered sitting in the chair next to the cot. "It's me Nightmare." Nightmare let out a low hiss and then looked turned his head forward staring blankly towards the opposite wall.

"Come to rub it in?" Nightmare finally said after a few minuets of awkward silence. Orion let out a frustrated sigh and answered softly as he could. "No Nightmare, I am here to see how you are doing." Nightmare let out a sort of hiss and growl put together and he snapped. "Well I have five broken ribs, a shattered wrist, my pelvis is cracked, and I have brain damage…. Oh yeah! And I'm blind." Orion flinched back in as if he was slapped across the face with a magicarp. "I am sorry…" He muttered looking down towards the floor. Nightmare laughed and said darkly. "You will be tonight, Better not fall asleep."

Orion flinched back in shock at this sudden threat. He bit back the anger that dared to show itself and answered calmly. "I am sorry…. Anyway… Who is this Midnight you spoke of?" He asked half expecting the darkrai to make a snappy answer.

But none came.

Nightmare's face fell and he quietly looked down at his hands as if the question was hurtful. Orion let out a soft sigh and leaned back into his seat waiting for the darkrai to answer.

"She is my mate…." He muttered finally after Orion decided that the question was not the right thing to ask. "Midnight is my mate…" He repeated as he began fumbling around with his fingers. Orion let out a soft whimper and shook at these words.

Orion had not only destroyed Nightmare's life, he destroyed Nightmare's life with his mate. He would never be able to protect the female, and he could almost feel Nightmare's despair.

He himself had a mate that he would lay down his life for. But being unable to protect her is more than he can bear, he would just be useless. Utterly useless.

Orion cleared his throat again and then said with a hint of wavering in his voice. "I-Is she going to be okay… I mean… Is she able to go well on her own?" Nightmare shuddered as soon as those words were spoken. "NO!" He roared as he sat up quickly causing a gasp of pain to escape his lips. "S-She is…." Another violent shudder ran through the darkrai's body as he quietly whispered. "With child… Though by now she had probably laid them by now… Oh god… I-I can't protect her or, or feed here… "Nightmare wailed as he flung his head side to side in utter pain.

Orion let out a hiss of shock and then he got up quickly. "Where is she?" The gallade ask feeling as if a new weight had been placed on his already heavy shoulders. Nightmare let out loud hiss and answered with a growl. "Why do you want to know? Are you going to kill her?" Orion shook his head, even though he knew that Nightmare couldn't see him do so.

"No Nightmare… I am going to fetch her and bring her and the eggs here so my mate and I can help her take care of her…" Orion said as he watched the darkrai's blind eyes widen.

"Y-You want to help me?" He asked shocked. Orion grunted at this and then asked again. "So where is she?"

"She is a few days from here… east…." Nightmare answer in an unsure voice.

Without another word Orion left out of the hospital room and ran down the hall.

He is going to make it up to the darkrai…. Even if it meant that he had to sacrifice all he had….

He ran through the front door and towards the darkrai's home.
