I tried my best with this story…Although…there was one part where I did cried a little…So I might have put in too much feeling into this chapter…
Kuro and Mii-kun: Lu-chan does not own Pokémon.
Flare sits outside the balcony and watches the star slowly appearing in the sky, looking in interest as the Pokémon in town are preparing for the end of the day.
"I shouldn't have been that hard to him…Then again, he WAS being nosy…"
Flare sighs in annoyance and shakes her head. "Why am I even thinking about this? About HIM?! This is just stupid…" Flare starts walking left and right, trying to clear her mind.
"I see you are having a little trouble." Flare's ears perk up and she turns to find the Glaceon smiling at her. She groans and lays her head on the rails.
"Frosty, I am not in the mood to be teased."
"Are you ever? Haha. Now what's wrong with you and lover boy?" Frosty walks towards her and tilts her head a little, looking at the depressed Flareon. The said Flareon sighs and shakes her head.
"I don't know. He was being nosy…again..." Frosty arches a brow, curious.
"What did he do this time?" Flare looks at Frosty before looking at the starry sky.
"He was…asking about my nightmare."
"Nightmare?" Flare nods lightly and stares at the view before her.
"Yea…It wasn't anything serious but he pestered me for the information but I end up shouting at him without reason…" Flare lays her forehead on the rail, drifting to silence. Frosty looks at the sky and smiles a little.
"I know Shade can be a bit...protective but…that's one of the ways he shows his love." Flare looks at Frosty with a confused look.
"His love?"
"Mmhm…Shade, you see, wasn't the person you always see him to be. In fact, you would have been glad to see that side of him, compare to his more…darker nature." Frosty frowns a little and shivers in fear. "T-Trust me. Shade is really fearsome when he's serious." Flare gives a light scoff.
"I doubt he can be serious." Frosty sighs and shakes her head.
"If you were here a month ago, you would have understood what I mean…" Flare looks at Frosty with a questioning look but decides to not say anything. "By the way, Flare, what WAS your nightmare?" Flare flinches a little and her eyes widen slightly as the visions in her head are filled with horrible memories…The flames…The scream…The blood…
"Frosty, would you mind letting me have a talk with Flare?" A voice caught the attention of the two females, looking at the Umbreon behind them.
"O-Oh, Shade! Of course. I'm sure you two have something to talk about." Frosty grins a little, trying to lift this tense mood but prove to be useless as the stares between Flare and Shade causes the poor Glaceon to leave quickly, not wanting to get into their affairs.
Once Frosty left, the room went quietly in an uncomfortable silence. The two mates stare at the view in front of them. The silence was getting into Flare's nerve and she turns to Shade.
"Look, Shade-"
"Flarida…"
Flare's eyes widen as she stares in horror at Shade. His eyes slowly turn to hers, deep and serious. "Your name…Flarida Angelica...Right?" Flare rises from her sitting position and steps back a bit before her eyes turn into anger, her sharp teeth showing.
"How do you know my full name?!" She snarls and growls while Shade frowns a little by this reaction.
"I see...You don't like your name, do you Flarida-"
"STOP CALLING ME THAT!" Flare shouts in anger before looking at the ground, shaking. "Stop calling me that…Stop…Stop calling me that…"
"Why? Why is your real name that terrible?" Flare didn't say anything. She only turns away and sit, her back facing him. Shade's expression softens a little before whispering softly. "Flare, it's unhealthy to keep it all inside…" This earns him a twitch on the right ear from Flare. She still keeps quiet but she waits there, listening to him. "I heard about that incident in your home…" She flinches before grinding her teeth together.
"I thought I told you to leave it alone."
"And you know how persistent I am in something that has my mate in it." Flare scoffs but Shade ignores it, continuing. "Flare, stop changing the subject."
"Or what?" Shade can hear the anger slowly rising in her voice but he shakes his head. He walks calmly towards Flare with silent, taking her surprise by rubbing his snout against her neck before whispering against her ear.
"Or I will make sure you scream real loud tonight." Flare's eyes widen and her cheeks turn redder than her original color, earning a lick on the left cheek. Flare growls before glaring at him from the corner of her eyes.
"You're gonna be the death of me, you know?"
"I know, that's why I'll never let you go." Shade smirks at the angry but blushing Flareon. Flare curses under her breath before sighing softly.
"Fine, fine. I'll tell you. It started when I was a little Eevee…"
Flashback
"Hahahaha! Die, you piece of shits! We don't need you anymore!"
"Yea! Rot in hell! Rot in hell!"
"We have no need for weaklings here! You deserve to die!"
Everyone was screaming in fear and pain, some have their bodies ripped apart by the Houndooms, some gets burned alive from trying to save their precious family…One family tried to run away from two Houndooms. One of them is a shiny and the other larger and bigger than a normal Houndoom. However, the only one stopping them from getting the female Flareon, Flarina was her husband, a Jolteon, Thunder. The Flareon was hiding behind a tree, carrying a vine basket with a blanket on top of it. A small, young Eevee was in the basket, poking its head out of the basket but hiding itself with the blanket.
Thunder used Thunderbolt on one of the Houndooms but the big one attacks him with Flamethrower. Thunder, with his excellent speed, dodged it. However, the shiny Houndoom used Tackle him, causing Thunder to fall on his side. He looked at Flarina and shouts. "Run! Run away with our child! I'll hold them off! Just go! No-!" But he didn't finish his sentence. Before the two Pokémon's eyes were Thunder's body being spilt open by the teeth of the Houndooms as they ate his bloody flesh, leaving his dead, lifeless body…
"Papaaaaaaaaaa!" The young Eevee cried, feeling its tears streaming its cheeks as it watched her father being mauled and killed. When one of the Houndooms looked at the females, Flarina quickly ran with the Eevee, trying to escape from the shiny Houndoom. When the Houndooms are far behind but coming close, Flarina hid her only child in a cave. When Flarina tried to escape with the basket, the little Eevee stopped her. "M-Mama, don't go! Don't leave me here!" Flarina looked at the Eevee with sad eyes. She put the basket down and placed a soft kiss on the little one's head.
"My dear child…" The Eevee sobbed and cried, afraid to see its mother to have the same fate as the father…
"P-Please…Mama, don't leave me…" Flarina almost cry at the sight of her child breaking down but the howls of the Houndooms reached her ears. Flarina hugged her child tightly, giving her the mother's warmth she needed before letting her go, placing one last kiss on the sad little Eevee's head.
"Goodbye, Flarida…I love you…" With that, Flarina ran out of the cave and head to the opposite direction of the cave, followed by a pack of Houndooms. Flarida lied on the ground, crying her heart out…
"Mamaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
For 9 days, Flarina have been hiding in the cave, waiting for her mother to come back…On the 10th day, she went out of the cave, searching for her mother. When she came to a clearing, she earned a frightening sight…
"Ma…Mama…"
On the burned grassy ground, Flarina was lying on her side with her eyes are closed with her body covered in blood. Her side was ripped opened and her neck had a large gash, being covered up by dried blood. The little Eevee walked to her mother and cry in remorse for her mother.
"Mama…Mama…" She whispered softly and lied down next to her mother's body, sobbing softly. "I love you, Mama…I love you…" She cried softly and nuzzled against her mother's lifeless head, snuggling her softly. "I love you, Mama…I love you, Papa…I love you both…" She whimpered softly before letting more tears streamed her cheeks, trying to feel the warmth from her mother's cold, lifeless body…
Flashback End
"Ever since then, I have tried to forget that horrible incident…But my nightmares would remind me every night…I want to be a Flareon like my mom…She protected me like my dad…But whenever I think of my real name, it just made me think of my mom's last words…" Flare lets out a shaky breath while Shade looks at Flare a little. "I truly thought of them every day…If they were alive, my dad would have ripped your head off while my mom would burn your dick by now…" Flare lets out a soft laugh, putting on a sad smile upon her lips. "I love them…I really love them…But they were taken away…" Flare stares at the floor and sobs softly. "I…" She sobs again and closes her eyes tightly, putting her front paws on her eyes, covering them. "I miss them…I miss my family…" She cries softly and lets her tears stream her cheeks. Shade wraps his front legs around his mate's waist, making her lean against his. When she feels her back pressing against his chest, her eyes are wide open and staring into the crimson red eyes. Shade looks at her with sympathy and kiss on the top of her nose, earning a small blush.
"I'm your family, Flare…Frosty, Grasser, Shocker…They're our family too…You're not going to be alone anymore, Flare…I'm always here with you." He kisses Flare deeply and lovingly, earning a larger blush from the Flareon. But she complies and kisses back, their tongues dancing together in a loving passion. They pull back a bit and stare into each other's eyes, letting the stars shine above them…
