Chapter 17 Wounded Heart

Lily's PoV

:2 hours pass:

As I continue to lay here and cry, I can't stop myself from not thinking about him and, Where did he run off too. The pillow is completely soaked from my tears and me using it to wipe them away. While I'm crying, I keep mumbling to myself why did I say those things or I'm sorry. This was all my fault this happened. Over what? A stupid feel of him not ever gonna return the feelings I gave to him back? I'm a horrible female for doing that. I need to talk to him, I have to apologize. Sis and Hope said it wasn't a good idea to go out and find him for it may make things worse than it is. But none of that matters. I have to make things right again. Jumping off of the bed and making my way to the door. The door was closed but I figured out that the shiny part of this wall is the key to opening it. Reaching up and tugging the handle down clicked the door and started to open up. Wiggling through the crack to force it open more and out I go. I won't be able to track my crush's scent this time. My nose is clogged up from all that crying. I start running and running down every hall. Looking for some clue to where the human could be. Luckily, I got a break and over heard two females talking about a boy who ran past them and up to the deck, crying like his heart was broken. I'm glad I know I'm going in the right direction but feel more guilty about what I've done. So he's up above me. Racing up the stairs and making that last turn to reach the deck. Looking around aimlessly to find the person I care deeply about. Since my sense of smell isn't gonna help me, maybe my hearing will do. Listen closely to anything to his voice. What I heard was a song that kept drawing me in. It sounds so sad yet familiar. I tried humming it and sang the little bits I could hear. "Tapping the rhythm everyday. Now I'm looking inside the.." I stopped immediately after I figured it out. It wasn't a normal song that we listened to. Anxiety and fear started to build up at a rapid pace inside me. This was it, the song that Leon killed himself too in his past life. Rushing over to the direction of the music, knocking anything and everything that was in my way. (No, he wouldn't! He promised he wouldn't hurt himself like that again! Why!?) Thoughts flooded my mind like a dam bursting under pressure. I believe I reached the back part of the ship. It's mostly full of spare tables and chairs. Not many people are here besides crew members working. Humming and music could be heard from behind the barrels that are tied down. The humming turned to singing and the song that put me in fear, was nearing its end. I have to stop him now before it's too late. Running around the wooden containers to see a young male, who's leaning over the rails and looking at the waves that the boat makes. His face is still red and hurt from me. I yelled out to him to get his attention. "STOP, DON'T HURT YOURSELF, LEON!". The human jumped at the sound of my scared voice. Looking down to me with the same scared look that I have. Begging him to not hurt himself. I cried so much by now, but it's almost like it never ends. Tears came back and flowed out once more. "Leon, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt or yell at you. I don't know what came over me and I feel so guilty about everything. I messed up and I know that. I couldn't stop thinking about you and what I've done. I...I really am very sorry." My legs feel weak, body starting to feel numb from the anxiety. He must be still upset or maybe mad. Whatever happens now, good or bad, I just want his forgiveness. "Lily… look umm." I lift my ears and head to my friend, trying to say something but worried about what it could be. Is this the end? Did I really mess up so badly it cost me my chance to be with the human I fell in love with? Closing my eyes and buckle down, waiting to hear his judgement. A few seconds past and nothing was said. I slowly opened one eye to see his hand reaching out and patting my head. Rubbing it left to right the way I like it. "Lily, you don't have to be sorry. I was in the wrong. I did deserve all that because it's the truth. I wasn't fair to you or your feelings. I should've known better to give you my answer sooner. It's difficult to know if I would be able to have any feelings to give. In a way, I was scared to try and date someone again. Guess even with a new life, The past is still with me. Would you forgive me?"

"O-of course I do. You mean everything to me." Replying back to him. I jumped up to his face and kissed him on his lips. Pulling back from my little spur of the moment, I was embraced by my crush's arms and kissed me back. Locking lips to each other how much we truly mean to each other. I can feel his fingers running through my mane. The feeling of being loved like this makes everything feel like a dream. My tail is swishing around in joy and being touched by my lovers hand. Releasing our lips, breaking away from our passionate kiss. "So… umm does this make us… You know… Mates?" I ask nervously. I feel his hand on my sweet spot behind my ear. Giggling at me as he replied. "Yea, I believe so. I love you, Lily" "I love you too." I said back to my love. I've never been so happy. Not since Dad died and mom disappeared. My new mate picked me up and carried me in his loving arms. Making our way back to our room. Now that I think about it, where is Hope and big sis? I Hope nothing bad happened to them. They both are stronger than before so if anything, they'll be ok. Knowing those two, if any trouble comes up. They should be able to deal with it. Walking down the hallway to our room, we were stopped by three beings. Our friends and the Captain. Leon opened the door for us so he could talk with the Captain for a few things. Big sis pulled me away to the bed and away from Hope. He just stood there with a blank expression. Did something happen while I was crying and chasing down my mate? "So, You went and looked for him after we told you it was a bad idea. What were you thinking?!"

Me: "I-I'm sorry, Sis. I just couldn't take the guilt." My Sister sighed at me before continuing.

Lazuli: "You're lucky that things look to be better. In fact, I think something else happened, didn't it?" She said to me as she leaned in more.

I told her what happened with Leon that was listening to a song that scared me. How he finally returned my feelings and how horrible he felt not giving it sooner because of his confused feelings. Reaching our paws to me and hugging me in the tightest hug we ever had. As we hugged, I felt my Lazuli shake a bit and sniffling. "Sorry, I'm just really happy for you… And a bit jealous." I knew I wasn't the only one who was in love with Leon, Sis started to have deep feelings for him. But now that he made a decision, I bet she must feel left out and hopeless. "It's ok, Sis. I'm sure he loves you too."

"But not as a mate, Lily. I… Do love him as well. Arcues, I didn't want to admit it or believe it to be true." She says to me as she covers her face with both of her paws. I don't have anything to say in something like this. Lazuli jumps up to the bed and lays down on the pillow we all use. I couldn't help but join her and cuddle. I whispered one last thing to her before we both drift off. I asked about Hope and why he's been blank and quiet? "Oh Hope? We passed these Vulpixs' that looked beat up and their mate threatened him. All Hope did was ask the red vulpix if everything was ok. The Lucario who's second in command, stepped in and told the male who started it to back off or will be detained. It's disgusting that, this Mightyena has two mates and I don't think they love him. More like scared to leave or do anything. The white Vulpix has burn marks on her neck and around her behind. And the red one has claw marks are her legs and a swollen eye. Yea, both of them are females." That's horrible. It really is disgusting how those males are. Glad Hope isn't like that. I wonder what he's thinking about?

Hope's PoV

I find myself looking out the window, just thinking about what happened earlier. Hmm…

: Flashback:

Me: "Hey, are you ok, miss vulpix? You look hurt."

Female Vulpix: "oh umm I ah y-y-..."

Mightyena: "HEY, GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY TOY!! Best you leave now, or I'll kill you where you stand."

Female white Vulpix: "Wait, master, he's not worth the blood shed."

Lucario: "HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!? Oh it's you again."

: Flashback ends:

It didn't make sense. Why were those females with that jerk? It's obvious he's hurting them. If it wasn't for that white vulpix holding him off till Lucario came to defuse the situation. But why… why do I feel like I should help them? Maybe Leon's influence is rubbing off to me. There must be something I can do. Maybe a night's sleep will help. Both the sisters are asleep now. I wasn't really paying attention to what they have been talking about. I'll figure it out tomorrow. Since my body is now bigger and more mature, I can't exactly sleep with them anymore. What if I accidentally do something weird to them in my sleep? Not only that, I feel very different in different parts of my body. Heart has been getting faster, body feels like it's on fire. Even my member has been hurting me all day. I haven't said anything about it because of how embarrassing it is. I also have this urge to eat more meat. There's another problem and I have been blocking it as much as I can. I can't help but look at my friends more, especially their rear end. The more I look at it, the more my private area burns up and hurts. Why is this happening to me? Am I sick? Maybe Leon could help me. After all, he is another male. I walked quietly over to the other end of the room and back turned to the vixens. Trying to fall asleep, another wave of pain hits me. Enduring it as best I can. Leon finally came back with a basket of berries, probably for tomorrow. The human noticed me in the corner and decided to pet my head. Trying to get my attention. Asking if everything is alright. Maybe now is a good time as ever to ask. I asked him to follow me onto the bathroom and closed the door. Hopping up on top of the tub and facing towards him. "What is it, Buddy? Did someone bad happened?" "Well…" I told him everything that my body has been doing to me. From pain to unknown urges. He pulled out his phone to help look up possible answers. I had to get down and lay on my side. The pain down there is just hurting the way I'm sitting. I can't keep my member sheaf any longer. As much as this is embarrassing to me, I'm just glad it's Leon with me and not any of the girls. "Ok Hope, this might be what's happening to you. You're going into late season. It's rare but it happens sometimes whenever a pokemon evolves near the end of mating season. It's uncommon for males and rare for females."

Me: "So, what does all that mean?"

Leon: "In other words, You're just a horny cat."

I faceplanted to the ground on how blunt that was. So, it's a natural occurrence that happens at times. Leon explains more that most males are always randomly horny. Comes and goes mysteriously. There are some cures to help out that he mentioned. Without thinking further, I begged him to try any on me. I saw the look in his eye and an evil grin. I immediately regret this. Scoping me up and laying me in the tub. I questioned why he did this, but it clicked. He turned the water on full blast on.. "COLD!!!!!!" I yelled out. As I got up to get out, I was pushed right back in and pinned down. Crying for my life on how cold I'm getting. During the mits of all this, I felt a hand on my head. "Sorry buddy, this was one of two ways to help deal with it. Yea it sucks but it works." He wasn't wrong. As cold as I'm getting, the heat is disappearing and the pain is going away. I started to relax and calmed down a bit. Knowing now that everything is better. So whenever this happens, I'll take a cold bath and shower. But I was curious about something. "Hey Leon, what's the other way?" As soon as I asked him. He turned his head and coughed. Is he… embarrassed? What could he be ashamed of if he knows how to get rid of this feeling at times. Scratching his head before speaking up. "Eeh umm oh god, how do I explain it without getting awkward." He pulls out his phone once again to look up something. At first I was confused on, what he was trying to show me.

Mini Lemon warning

Once the video played, it was a male quadruple pokemon laying on his back. The pokemon was a Arcanine and the look on its face, clearly embarrassed. I can hear a human telling the fire dog what to do and it's too unsheathed his red rod from its protected area. I can't help but try to look away from seeing this. But the human kept telling me to watch and I'll find my answer. Going back to see another glace, only to see the fire-type doing something. He was able to reach a paw all the way down and grabbing his sex. Rubbing it up and down. The more he did this, the more it's breathing became heavier and faster as he went. Few minutes later, the pokemon threw It's head back as white stuff shoot out like a water gun attack. The same white stuff that came out of me when I was still a Shinx. Even after his first blow, it's still hard enough to do more. They brought in another Pokemon but this one is a female Liepard. a purple cat with a skinny and flexible body. she displayed herself to the mate who got up and walking towards the aroused female. the dark type is already dripping with anticipation. wiggling her rear end, teasing the grown male with a twitching, hard manhood. The big fire type then mounted the slender cat. He got into position to wear both sexs are touching. As the he male slowly pushing into the folds of his mate, his love making partner moaned from the big member sliding in her love tunnel. A second of getting used to his size in her, Arcanine started to thrust himself more in. Every thrust made the female moan louder and louder. The male's knot started to grow bigger until the end. Both cry out in ecstasy as he pushing his knot into her, locking them together as he blows his load inside the female's womb. The knot deflated so that the male then pull out. When he did so, cum leaked out like running water.

The video ends at that and thanks to this my body got all hot and funny again. Leon told me everything I should know about mating and how things work with my body. What I saw is natural to release the pressure building up. I guess this really does explain a lot that's going on. I'm not really sure I would be doing what the Arcanine did but I'll save that as last resort. Not the actual mating part. Doubt I'll be doing that at all. Not like a female is ever gonna truly love me. Not to mention the Eevee I had a crush on turned me down. We soon came out of the bathroom, Leon slipped into more comfortable clothes. I go back to the corner just to be on the safe side. As I trying to cuddle up into a comfortable position, The tall boy layed the sleeping bag next to me. I asked him why he was sleeping over here and not on the bed. He just patted my head and whisper that Lazuli took up the entire bed. Yea, I can see that happening. I huddled up to me and felt calmer. Didn't take long till I feel into a deep sleep.

:Next Morning:

I woke up in pain again. Same place too. Checking around my legs, I see my red rod out. If I remember correctly, Leon said this is called "Morning Wood". Something that's gonna be annoying to deal with. Slowly pulling it back in, I felt something soft on my back. Turning around to see Lazuli sleeping next to me. I blushed a bit at the cute Eevee cuddling me. This doesn't help at all. I get up as gently as possible and bolted to the bathroom. And in a few minutes in cold water, I'm completely fine and my fur is clean. I came back out to find something to eat. Picking up two random berries to munch on. Looking back over to Leon, who's sleeping on his side, to see the same Eevee sleeping on top of him with her rear end on the side of his head. (Is she drooling too?) I thought to myself as I see a pool of liquid covering his stomach. I felt a paw pressed against me. Looking over to see a haft asleep and cute Lily. She rubs her eyes with her paw and asked for a Chesto Berry to eat. How could I refuse my friend? I got up and managed to get one. Laying in front of her, she thanked me for getting it. We chatted about what happened last night between her and Leon. Didn't surprise me these two are now mates. Kinda jealous of them. She asked me a curious question about the Vulpix and her mate threatening me. Both agree this Mightyena is awful. The female vulpixs look unhappy as well. "Maybe that Mightyena is threatening them in some way?" Lily says to me as I took another bite. She might be right. What if he does? (If I was in Leon's paws, I would go help in some way.) As I thought about it, the more it seems to be the right thing to do. If those two are being abused, then something has to be done to stop it. Lazuli and Leon finally woke up to join us. It's weird how those two aren't mates, they act the same in the morning. Both of them are rolling themselves over to us and asking for Chesto berries. Moments later, our human friend got dressed and headed out to work. We are able to free roam within reason we don't go to restricted areas. The girls wanna stay and watch movies, I on the other paw, am gonna go on deck. Maybe I'll run into her again. Even if that jerk comes back, I'll be ready.

Lily: Yaaay, I'm finally Leon's mate!! Lalala *cuddles up in Leon's arms*

Evo: ….. COULD YOU NOT!! *picks Lily up and away from her mate* No lovey dovey here.

Lily: Why….

Evo: Cause I said so. I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter. Did try a lemon scene to see how well that went. Hopefully it doesn't change some people's opinions about this story because of it. It break my heart to know that was the reason. At least i marked it to where you can skip it without ruining the story. Well, till next time *waves*

Lily: *jumps back into her mates chest* yay
