Enjoy this one ,this is when stuff gets serious and Night and the gang get placed in life or death situations. In fact, this chapter is so serious I need to introduce a new narrator. Be warned, things get bloody here. Still teen rated, but not for the very squeamish

Same question as last chapter

Ferne (Who you get to know this chapter)

and Violet (Who will get A LOT of exposure later

Enjoy!

I couldn't believe it, there was no doubt now that was Ferne. She hadn't changed at all, she still had that some red bandanna around her neck and her brown eyes still shimmered with a quiet fury. She had a thoughtful look on her face, as if she was contemplating something very serious. My body froze once I realized what was going on. Before that moment I didn't know what to call the feelings I felt towards the leafeon, but now I know just what to call it.

I was falling for her. And falling hard.

"What a second guys..." I said in a distracted voice as I hopped off my barstool "I gotta go for a minute."

I heard Razor ask "What?" as I walked towards Ferne in an almost comatose state. I didn't care about what they thought, at that moment all I wanted to do was talk to Ferne again. As I approached my old conversation buddy I felt as if I somewhat expected to see her here in Cerulean, almost like she knew I would come for her eventually.

When I was within a few feet of her she was still in deep thought, sitting at that table. I got right in front of me and said with a smiled "I'm sorry miss, but would you happen to know where the bathroom is?"

Ferne shrugged "I'm sorry sir but I'm in a little-" she stopped the moment she looked up and saw me. Her expression changed from a look of deep thought to one of surprise. Her eyes widened and a slight smiled worked it's way onto her face. For just a second, she had a smile on her face and I felt like I has back in the forest with her.

Then in an instant her expression went to one with worry, she looked around the room and asked "What are you doing here?"

I smiled "I was in town and just saw you so..."

"You have to get away from me." said Ferne.

"What?"

She looked behind me and yelled "Duck!" What happened next was a series of events that would have caused my death. Ferne, despite saying get down, didn't seem to trust my reaction time and pulled me down with a jerk. As I fell towards her I felt something swipe past the back of me head and nick me. I fell onto the table and flipped it over on it's side and with a crash the room went quiet. A screeching scream echoed through the room as I turned around and saw what was facing me. Standing over me was a Sneasel with blood smeared on one of it's razor sharp claws.

That's when I felt something wet going down my neck, fearing the worst I felt my paw to the back of my head and brought it back in front of me. I froze when I saw blood on my paw. It took me a moment to realize it, but that Sneasel had just tried to kill me. Then without warning the rival dark pokemon lunged at me.

I felt Ferne chop me on the my collar bone and my legs fell out from under me, just in time to have me avoid another swipe from this assassin-like character.

"Night!" yelled Spark's voice from across the bar as Ferne jumped in front of me. I saw the Sneasel go for another deadly swipe but Ferne ducked under it with dexterity I had never seen before. Then she gave a flick of her wrists and brought her paws to each of the Sneasel's knees. The Pokemon screamed in agony as the leafeon pulled her arms away from the Sneasel, blood trailing from her paws. My blood ran cold as I saw what seemed to be blades sticking out of Ferne's wrists. The Sneasel fell down, writing in pain.

Ferne turned to me "Follow me."

I had a look of pure fear on my face "What?"

"If you don't follow me you're dead Umbreon, now come on!" yelled Ferne in a more demanding voice. The quiet, kind leafeon I knew in the forest was gone.

Without protest I followed her out of the bar just as someone yelled "Someone get some help!" I followed Ferne outside of the bar, by then it was mid day and there were still Pokemon waiting to get inside. Ferne looked around and ran deeper into the alleyways and I still followed. She ran until she reached a corner, turned it and suddenly stopped. She turned around with a look of distress on her face. "Are you okay, how's your head?" She reached back and sighed "That's not looking too good, I'll need to patch that up."

I was still in so much of a state of shock I could't even say anything. Then without warning Ferne's expression went back to a serious one and she slipped past me and put her back to the wall. A moment after I heard the faint sound of approaching steps. After a second or two a figure came around the corner and Ferne attacked. She swiftly swung her forearm out and slammed it into the figure's face and pinned the Pokemon down. It was when she got on him was when I saw who it was.

"Razor?" the Bulbasaur was laying under Ferne with a bloody nose and a blade in her face. He was shivering and looked at me "N-Night, y-y-you know h-h-h-e-her?" shuddered the Bulbasaur. I saw Jolt and Spark peek their heads around the corner with curiosity on their faces

I sighed "Ferne it's okay, they're with me."

Ferne looked slightly embarrassed as she stepped off Razor "Sorry, I assumed the worst."

Spark approached me and demanded "Night, what the hell was going on back there?" He didn't look angry, he looked more worried then anything. His eyes widened when he saw blood going down my neck "You're bleeding!"

I gulped and nodded "Yeah..."

That was when Ferne stepped in to quell the situation "Don't be mad with him, if anything this is my fault. I shouldn't of let Umbreon get involved."

"Get involved with what exactly?" questioned Jolt "And who are you?"

The female leafeon sighed "All I can say is that my name is Ferne, I can't tell you anything else."

"Why?" asked Razor.

"Because if I told you anymore it would put you in more danger." replied Ferne with a very stern look on her face.

I spoke up "Wait, wait , wait... what do you mean more danger, am I already in peril?"

Ferne turned to me with a look of regret "I'm so sorry Umbreon, but they're watching me and the fact that you talked to me makes you a contact. They're after me, and they'll go to you to get to me and they might kill you and you're friends." She looked down at the ground "I'm so sorry Umbreon."

Despite the events that had happened in the last minute or two I still caught a glimpse of the girl that I met in the forest . I gave a smile "Don't worry, I'm sure we can handle it."

Soon after that I felt a small pinch on my neck. I felt where it hit and felt something, something solid. I pulled it out and saw that it was a dart. Before I could even say anything I felt all my muscles give up on me and I collapsed. I suddenly felt sleepy and within a second of falling over I blacked out, completely unconscious

I stood there in fear as I saw Night fall over, his body completely limp... oh wait, sorry. I didn't introduce myself, I'm sure if this was in Night's point of view he wouldn't be telling you about himself falling in third person. The thing is, I'm not Night. I'm Razor, you know, the Bulbasaur. You'll need more than the two narrators to tell this story, and I've been waiting a while to do my part.

Anyway, to get back to the tale, Night was down. Within moments of him hitting the ground there was the sound of objects whizzing past my head. I saw this leafeon crouch and three or four needles were where her head used to be.

"Oh my god!" screamed your's truly when I realized what was going on. We were being attacked and I had no idea how to defend myself. It seemed that Jolt and Spark had the same idea I had because we all backed up so we all had our backs to each other.

"You see anything Spark?" questioned Jolt in a stern voice.

The pikachu shook his head "Nah, how about you Razor?"

I gulped "Nothing."

Almost on que literally from the sky dropped a Zangoose and a Weavile, each with their razor sharp claws at the ready. Ferne walked in between me and these two new enemies and said "You two stay back." she raised a paw and a blade came out of a mechanism on her wrist "I can handle them.

The Weavile gave a toothy grin "I doubt it leafeon, you're going to die here!" and with that both her and the Zangoose charged.

Ferne moved like she knew where the two Pokemon were going to attack. The Weavile swiped at the leafeon's head with ferocious speed but Ferne ducked under it like it was nothing. Ferne was about to attack the Weavile, but the Zangoose was right there and thrust his claws at Ferne. She had to stagger back to avoid losing some organs. Ferne stood back up just in time to jump over a swipe at her feet by the Zangoose and on her way down she landed on the Zangoose's claws.

With a defiant yell Ferne stabbed the Zangoose's arm and kicked him in the face. With a thud the Zangoose fell, slightly unconscious.

"Give up!" said Ferne to the Weavile "Take your friend and leave while you still can."

"I doubt that's going to happen..."

A figure dropped from the sky and landed behind Ferne with stealthy speed. This figure stood up and revealed herself as a Pikachu, one with a skin-tight outfit on and two deadly looking daggers, one on each of her hips.

"Sorry about this Jane, nothing personal." said the Pikachu. With one motion the Pikachu unsheathed a blade and jabbed it into Ferne's side.

I felt my blood run cold as the leafeon gave a pain filled grunt and fell to the ground, writhing in agony.

This Pikachu knelt down to Ferne and placed the blade at her neck "Don't worry, your brothers will be joining you soon.

Suddenly the Weavile gave a cut off grunt. I looked at her and saw in terror as she collapsed , a needle in her head.

"Oh crap! Is she dead!" yelled Spark as he backed away "What the hell is going on here?" I couldn't of spoken truer words, I had no idea what was happening. The Pikachu stood up and looked me straight in the face, her eyes caused a feeling of fear within me that almost made me faint. However, that fear was nothing compared to the fear I felt after she spoke.

She gave a twisted smile and said "I'll kill you first when I'm done." She looked around and yelled out "Come on out Black, I know it's you."

I heard footsteps and turned to see a a shadowy figure. He stepped up out of a side alley to reveal himself. There stood a Vulpix, but not just any Vulpix. This one was black, his hair spiked up into several points. He wore a dark red vest over a black long sleeved shirt with a flared collar. Where his shirt ended his pants began, which were also black (Wonder why he's called Black)

Ferne cringed and coughed as she leaned herself on a wall "Black..."

The Vulpix raised a paw to stop her "Don't waste your energy," he switch his gace to Jolt, Spark and I "You three stay back" he peered at the Pikachu "I have a little problem to deal with. "

The Pikachu with the jump suit on unsheathed her second dagger and gave a twisted smile "Fine then, Black..." she got into a fighting pose "En Garde!"

Woo! I am so pumped about this, I love Cerulean city and what I have planned here. If you thought that Dexter was a problem, then keep reading. Things go from bad to absolutely horrible.
