~ Sylveon?

"Aah!! Oh no!!! Somebody do something!!!"

I was still an Eevee at the time and I was sitting next to my mom, Vaporeon, making a sandcastle with her. When we both turned at the sound of someone screaming.

"Goodness what is going on over there?"

I heard one of them say, "Somebody save my baby!!!"

But that was more than enough information for me to go charging towards the shouting.

"Eevee where are you going?!"

"Somebody's drowning mom!!! I have to go help them now!!!"

"Eevee! No! Wait!!! You come back here right now!!! Eevee!!!!"

I ignored my mother's pleas and ran to the beach.

I saw that the baby struggling among the waves was heading towards the cove further on right. And the only way to get through to it was through the woods.

I ran into it and was scratching myself with some sticker bushes.

"Aah! Oww! Oww! Oww! This really hurts- Oh! Aah! Oof!"

I tripped on a tree root and fell out of the woods facefirst onto the beach.

"Oww that hurt..."

I looked out at the sea and saw a faint figure struggling in the water.

"That's gotta be her! Hold on little one!!! I'm coming!!!"

I walked down the only rock line touching the ocean and with no hesitation I dove into the water.

I arose out of the waves in disgust.

"Aahh!! I accidentally swallowed some!!! Yuck!!!"

But when I saw the toddler I started focusing again and began the long swim over to her.

Swim cautiously to conserve as much stamina as possible.

Cover your nose and hold your breath so water doesn't go into your lungs.

Remain calm. Don't panic. You're here to help. Now do your best.

The more I swam the easier it was for me to make out Eevee struggling to stay above water.

I was on her in a minute and a half but I was starting to panic. Especially when she sank down and did not come back up.

I took a deep breath and dove under to get her.

I could barely see anything because the sun was setting and you could hardly distinguish it underwater.

I swam down trying to stay calm while I looked for her. It took me five seconds to catch a sinking figure that must have been Eevee.

I grabbed her arm and caught sight of her air bubbles fading with every sinking inch. I held her gently and swam back up to the surface.

I swam as fast as could not caring about stamina conservation. I looked at her for a moment and pushed on harder when I saw that she was unconscious.

I was tired when I reached the shore but I set her down on her back and tried to find some hope.

Her chest and shoulders wasn't moving. And her eyes were not showing any signs of reviving.

I checked her heartbeat and I could barely detect a faint pump that was fading fast.

She doesn't have much time, and CPR looks like the only option right now.

Luckily my mom had a CPR liscence and she taught me how to perform it in case of an emergency.

"Don't panic Eevee. It's now or never. What did mom say about giving CPR to a toddler? 30 finger compressions above their breast. And then air through the mouth. Well it's time to see if I've been paying attention. Here goes nothing!"

I began the finger compressions on her breast and breathed air into her mouth.

After repeating it about 5 times, I was starting to wonder if I knew what I was doing and if I had saved her. When...she finally coughed out water into my mouth!

"Whew...You scared me for a second little one...At least your breathing and well..."

She was breathing but very harshly. She needed a hospital as soon as possible.

I'm about to help her up when I hear someone emerge out of the woods and turn in my direction.

I ran away suddenly realizing it wasn't my place to be there and I left in fear. But I hid behind a tree for a little to listen to her mother panicking.

"EEVEE!!! OH MY ARCEUS!!! SWEETIE CALL AN AMBULANCE!! HURRY!!! OH MY POOR BABY!!!! I was so worried about you..."

She clutched the Eevee close to her and was sobbing into her chest. The father was frantically dialing on his phone to contact the authorities and paremedics.

I ran to my mother and just wanted to go home.

I told her what happenned and I didn't know if she was proud of me or not. But I got the confirmation when we heard about the Eevee I saved on the television.

'Mysterious Hero Saves 2 year old Eevee from drowning'

My dad said I was a 'wuss' for not taking credit but my mother never once stopped idolizing the fact I saved a life. But how I forgot about it I don't remember. At least remembering the important details about Eevee helped me confirm many things.

I did indeed help the Eevee I am now helping today. And her mother coddling her all time is the reason she yearns for idependence and refuses to trust anyone. But I can tell there is changes at her house and it's all because of me.

See dad? I can help others and be a better person than the father you will never be.

The only problem is; She doesn't remember who helped her.

Does she know it was me? Or will she never figure it out?

And above all do I want her to know?

Well all I know is when that day comes I'll be ready to explain it to her and hope she is grateful for all that I have done, including the things I was never always aware about.

*The following morning

Knock knock!

I wake up to the sound of some tapping the door. I look up at the clock and it is 10am.

"*sigh I am not ready for any drama today..."

I grumpily get out of bed and scratch my chest, underneath my black T-shirt.

"I wonder who it is..."

I open the door and I look at the visitor in shock.

"Wha-I-I-Ummm..."
