A/N: Shorter chapter today/night (whenever tf you read this). Hope you enjoy it nonetheless :D.
(Grant)
It has been a week since Singe's incident. Inside the room he had stayed in since he arrived I had Jess put in a chain to hopefully prevent any possible escape attempts. Amber had gone quiet, scary quiet. I can see the look in her eyes… it is the same look i remember Eve having when i found her in Team Flare's base… defeated, drained… scared. I can tell it has been affecting Thunder… he is extremely concerned about the whole thing. He loves Amber and witnessing what happened and what could have… I understand the pain… I remember when I was back in my home dimension, the portal that appeared and… the stuff i saw happening to Eve. My heart started to pound against my chest. My breath, speeding up… I need air… fuck I need air.
(Eve)
I breathed in the fresh, crisp air of the outside. The gentle breeze slowly petted my face. I turned my gaze to the forest, hearing only the soft breeze in my ears. Grant and I had our first time near here… it was such a kind gesture… he knew I loved flowers, the way we used to play in the fields, chasing each other like energetic cubs. His first experience with snow… so many good times with him. I have never loved a pokemon more than I have Grant… all others who I was vaguely interested in were… not great pokemon. Why must my kind enjoy rape… eons are out for reproduction… very few actually want love. I heard the door to the balcony creek behind me.
Grant jumped up beside me. He looked more anxious and stressed than I had seen in a while…
"Grant… are you okay?" I asked. He turned to me quickly before pulling me in for a hug. What has gotten into him?
"I… never want to lose you." he said in a tone barely audible.
"Grant… you… you're never going to lose me. I have made up my mind. You're my soulmate… I want to spend the rest of my life with you," I said before pulling away from the hug and smiling at him. "Now… what's wrong?" I asked him.
"I don't know… seeing that look in Amber's eyes… she looks defeated Eve. It just… brought back the memory of when you were almost…" he stopped. Grant looked at his feet breathing a big sigh as he did. He took in some deep breaths before turning his gaze toward the forest.
"Do you remember that clearing?" I asked, pointing at a circular break in the trees. Grant had a look in the direction and I saw a slight smile appear on his face.
"Our first time…" he said. I kissed his cheek, getting a slight spark as I did.
"best birthday ever," we said at the same time. I nuzzled into him and leaned into him.
(Grant)
This is nice. The breeze is calm and slightly rubbing my face, Eve's warm soft fur really helps my calm down. I looked at her again.
"you're wearing the flower," I said with a smile.
"Yeah… I haven't worn it in a while and… you know," Eve said with a slight blush. "I still wish your book wasn't destroyed."
"Don't worry about it… that jeweled flower holds more power than anything else." I said.
"What do you mean?"
"Well… to be frank, I wouldn't have been able to save you without it," I said.
"Oh… yeah you told me about that…" Eve said bowing her head slightly.
I pulled her in closer, Eve snuggled into my fur.
"Singe has been cooperative. He… has admitted to never actually doing what he did before that day… apparently they are all told to do it and this was actually his first time. How much of that I believe is teetering. He has told me… a lot about team flare. Their secret plans, the treatment of the pokemon… it's just awful. He said flare are planning on attacking lumiose in a year or two. They have tightened security dramatically since I was there… many more people with guns and more guards on the perimeters. I may be strong… but a bullet will still kill me. Seems we can't stop the attack from the inside… but prepare for the inevitable… train up." I said.
"At least he is saying things… I doubt he hasn't raped before… most eons I've met have… as you probably know too well."
(Thunder)
"Amber is quiet. Has been for the last week. What has gotten into her? The last time she had showed any emotion was the day and night it happened. Since then she has just been quiet and empty, she isn't even talking to me. I… I feel distant from her… do you have any ideas how to help her?" I asked.
Mew placed a crooked face and sighed, "Grant would be the first to tell you that I am not the best pokemon for a subject such as this. When it comes to love, I have trouble identifying what is true, but yet the powers I can give only become strong as a result of love… I may be the mother of pokemon but… I've never given birth or anything like that. I have never had the privilege of love. I believe it is just a curse that comes with the immortality I have." Mew said ducking her head down.
"That… doesn't sound fun, millions of years alone… surely at least one pokemon must have peaked your interest!" I exclaimed. Mew turned her head to me and sighed again before shaking her head. "Wow. Well I believe you'll find one pokemon that will make you feel totally awesome inside!"
"Thank you Thunder, you have kind words." Mew smiled slightly.
"There is someone out there for everyone. Love is a strange thing Mew."
"I do believe it is," Mew said.
"So anyway… do you have any ideas what I could possibly do to help her?" I asked.
"Amber… Thunder, I do not know much about her. I suggest sitting down and talking to her. Maybe that would show that you care."
"Yeah… that may work. Thanks Mew," I said. Mew disappeared in a quick blue flash irritating my eyes for a little. Okay… time to talk to Amber.
