Chapter 6 A new start

Lily's PoV

I find myself in a strange meadow, surrounded by beautiful flowers. The nice breeze flowing through my cream colored chest fur. As I walk through the sea of flowers I noticed a tree, a cherry blossom, the petals are in full bloom and falling. "Wow, it's so beautiful. I've seen anything like this in my life." As I admire the wonderful scenery, I hear a voice calling out to me. "Hey, Lily, over here." I look over to the tree to see Leon sitting against it. Along with something on the ground, a blanket of somesort, and food. "Hey Leon, what's all this?" I asked the human. "It's a picnic date for us." he said to me, holding some blue roses. I couldn't help but blush madly at all this. He patted the ground next to him, inviting me to join him. As I walked over I noticed some of his clothes seem to be missing. He isn't wearing a shirt or pants he would usually wear, only thing he has on are shorts that look like they were too big for him and would fall any moment. As I got close enough, he picked me up and cradled me in his arms. "You look so cute, Lily."

"Oh I umm thank you" as I say back to him. I start to feel something rubbing my chest. I look down to see Leon's fingers rubbing my fluffy chest and belly. I couldn't help but moan and his light touch, gliding across me. He leans over to my face, kissing me on the lips. My eyes shoot wide open to the sudden action. I start to feel all warm inside everywhere. We broke off from the kiss, only for him to lay me onto the ground and kiss my neck. I close my eyes, moaning at the soft kisses and rubbing he's given me. I can feel his hand getting closer and closer to my honeypot. I lay here being felt up, wanting more but all that stopped. Opening one of my eyes to see what's wrong. To what I see, was nothing I've never seen nor wanted to see. Leon was just just over top of me with, what looks like "blood...? Leon, your bleeding... From your eyes!?" I say to him in shock, but that was only the beginning, the once blue sky turned red with blood raining down. The ground beneath me started to shake as if something was to come out. Suddenly several spikes erupted from the ground impaling Leon in the chest, stomach, limbs and even the throat. His body was carried up a bit from the spikes coming out of the ground. His red liquid, which is gushing out of all the entire wounds, was raining down on me and the once beautiful flowers next to me, turning all red, stained with blood.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I just layed there in horror, seeing the human I care some much about, being killed in front of me while being bathed in his life fluid. My furry was 86% covered in him. I lay here motionless, as red flowers grew around me. I've seen these flowers before, 'Spider Lilies' these special flowers grew in the underworld to help guild the dead to a new life. Looking back up to my dead friend's body, for a sec I thought I saw it move. His lifeless head crack a 90 degree till to the side, smiling before speaking "time...to…" his face split in too revealing a cross breed of a Feraligatr and crocodile face barring mutated jaw-like fangs that could bite off any large Pokemon head clean off. opening its mount only to charge at me looking to devour me whole. As the horrific looking cross bread got close enough for the kill, I heard it say one last thing before it clamped it's jaw down "WAKE UP!!"

I shot up from my nightmare. Covered in cold sweat, panting heavily as fear slowly disappearing. I look up to see Leon still sleeping peacefully next to me. (Oh thank Arceus, it was only a nightmare) as I try to readjust my I couldn't help but feel something...wet, I look down towards my tail and slit is to see something I haven't done since I was 1. "I..I..wet myself." unable to hold back tears of embarrassment, I started crying softly like a baby. The warm liquid that escaped my body must've woken up Leon, for his hand fell on it as he tried to roll to his side. Seeing his sleepy face and eyes started to open up too see what he's feeling. (No... he's gonna laugh at me. This is so embarrassing. Today isn't starting out good at all.) I thought to myself as my ear flop downward.

Leon's PoV

Man, I just can't get comfortable at all. Trying my best to move into a better sleeping position so I can fall asleep, but to no anvil did that work. Kinda hard when you have two fluffy eevees on both sides of you, cuddling to fit onto the makeshift bed. But oddly enough, I don't feel the one on my right. If I remember correctly, Lily was sleeping there. As I slowly opened my eyes, waiting for them to adjust to the slim brightness of the moonlight creeped it, I saw Lily sitting up. "Lily? What's wrong?" As I slowly got up to see her better, I felt something wet on the floor. It's warm and I can smell something off about it. I look back to Lily to see her ears down, tail tightly being squeezed by her front paws over her special spot. Eyes all red and puffy, tears rolling down her lovely brown and red cheeks. I can hear the little fox whimpering as she tries to say something to me. "I..I.. I'm s-s-sorry. I didn't *hiccups* didn't me-" I interrupted her from trying to talk any further by rubbing her head. Clearly she's incredibly embarrassed about what I assume, from all the evidence. "You had an accident?" She sunk down into her tail trying so desperately to hide her shame. Hearing a small but faint, mhmm. "I had a very horrifying nightmare." I slowly sat up straight, trying not to disturb Lazuli. Fortunately for me, she's a heavy sleeper and it actually takes a lot to wake her. Still don't know why or how she can sleep that way. Looking at the sleeping fur ball, who's all four paws pointing up, legs spread front paws over her head, and drooling with a big goofy grin. *Click* I couldn't help but take a picture of this silly fox. I turned back to the embarrassed vixen in front of me, picking her up and holding her in my chest. She didn't struggle or refuse the gesture. I could feel her moving around trying to lay comfortably before sobbing in my chest. Whatever the nightmare was, must've been rough. I remember my fair share of tormented dreams where I'll be in spiked chains on all four limbs, being pulled apart from the people I knew. Still think it's odd I can't remember any names of those I met or knew in my old life, meh probably not important.

I walk over to the little spring in the cave and help Lily clean her fur. She was hesitant at first, but quickly calmed down as I started to wipe her tail clean from her liquid. Next was washing her hind legs, making sure I don't get too close to her sensitive area. I could hear faint purring the more I continued moving on to the back, then the fluffy and thick chest fur. But when I got to the back of her ear, she let out a low moan. I couldn't stop myself from blushing to the cute sound she made. "Oh umm I ah, I'm sorry about that." I say while pulling away from her.

"It's ok, please continue. It feels good." She replied in a low but soft tone. I resume cleaning the rest of the normal-type's head. Every rub I give to her, she gives a low 'mew' or moan while purring all the same. "There you go, Lily. All cleaned up. But umm you're gonna have to do the rest down there on your own" I tell the fox, scratching my head and slightly looking away. She put on a somewhat disappointed face but still appreciated me for helping her get clean. "Thank you, Leon. For everything, you are the best human I have ever met." She walked over to me, jumped into my lap then standing up to put her paws on my shoulders, her tail swinging back and forth. I can see her face getting red as she leaned into me, kissing my cheek, then hugging me. I hugged her back, embracing her. We soon broke free and she stepped away. Both of us feeling a bit awkward from the sudden affection, but I didn't mind. It felt heart warming. A feeling I thought was lost after all the bad things happened to me. I reach my arms out to her, showing I could carry her back to our bed. She joyfully jumped into me, allowing me to do so. But when we got there, Lazuli, who I forgot about, took over the bed completely. There she was, right in the middle, drooling and giggling away to whatever dream she's in. *Click* "hehehe, I'm gonna tease the living shit out of her." Lily giggled at the thought.

Hope's PoV

Sun rays were coming through the entrance of the den, shining bright as if the sun Pokemon himself was sitting outside. I tried to stretch my paws out, raising my rear end up stretching out my back. Rubbing my eyes as I try to wake up, I wanted to look around. To my right was Lazuli, but Leon and Lily weren't there. (That's odd, wasn't all three of them sleeping together?) Thinking to myself. I looked over to my left in the corner, was Leon and Lily. Lily was snuggled up on Leon's chest, she looks so peaceful and happy. Did something happen between the two? I'm actually a little jealous of both of them. I wish I could snuggle with Leon and Lily. Leon is so cool, he fought one on one with my mother, and she's the third strongest female in our pack at home, and while a thunderstorm was going on. We electric types are at full power at those times. He even stopped Her strongest move, Thunder. I wanna be like him, brave and strong, but I feel like my Timid nature wouldn't let me. I've been scared, shy and timid over everyone who gets near me. Especially the females, I did try to ask this Growlithe, but then one of the mean males shot a Flamethrower at me. That's how I ended up with all these burn marks and now bald spots. Mother went after the young male's mother to confront her about what he did, but all I did was runaway in shame. i didn't care anymore, I just wanted what others had, a connection. I couldn't help but sniffle, remember what happened yesterday.

Later on Lily started to wake up, she looked over to me with a smile, waving. Getting off Leon and walking over to me, I was getting lost in thought on how pretty she looked, her brown and cream colored fur looked clean, like she just cleaned herself in water. "Morning Hope, who did you sleep last night?" She asked me in a whisper low tone. "I slept pretty well. Thank you again for letting me and Mother sleep here for the night." I replied back to her lowering my head a bit, in signs of respect. She smiled as she walked over to what's left of the berry stock of theirs. (I have to pay them back for helping me and Mother, especially Lily. I know, I'll go pick lots of berries for them.) I say to myself. Lily came back with a Chesto Berry, she bit down in the middle of it, splitting it in two, handing me the other half of it for me to eat. I was happy to accept it, no one has ever been this kind to me before. Is this what it's like to have friends? "Hey Hope, I'm gonna go outside to the garden to pick some berries from the bushes. I would do the trees as well, but I'm not like Big sis who has a range move to hit them down."

(This is it, I can pay her back by helping her get food from the trees) "H-hey, I can help you get the ones on the trees. I know the move Thunder shock, That should do it" I tell her and her face lit up with joy. Grabbing me by the paw and dragging me with her to the entrance. But all that joyful and happy look quickly disappeared, I looked over to see all the damages from both the storm and the battle took place. Ruined flowers everywhere, covered in mud. Trees knocked over from the strong wings, and the berry bushes looked no better. I turned back to Lily, with tears flowing down. "My mom's garden...no, how could this have happened…" I couldn't speak at all, she seemed to love this garden. I bet it meant everything to her. My train of thought was interrupted by her screaming, loud enough to wake the remaining members in the den.

Lazuli's PoV

I woke up immediately at the sound of Lily screaming, Leon and Ms.Ava did too. As I tried to get up, I slipped on something, causing me to faceplant into something warm and stinks. Leon came back and picked me back up on my feet. (Bleh, I'll worry about this later, Lily might be in damage or hurt) a three of us make our way outside to see her face In her paws,crying. I looked to Hope, thinking he did something. But he didn't, he did explain why she was crying though. My ears dropped, when mom was still around, She and Lily would spend all day working in the garden. Me, I couldn't care less, I loved sparring with my dumbass Dad. But I knew how much Lily cared for the garden, all that time and hard work, gone in the blink of an eye. I walked over to Sis and hugged her tightly, rubbing the back of her head, as she cried in my fur. "Shh shh shh, it's gonna be alright. We can always replant it all. I can help, Leon Hope and Ms.Ava can help too. Don't be sad, Sis."

"Thank you, Sis. But let's clean and gather any and all berries that aren't damaged" all of us nodded and split into groups, Hope and Leon went to the trees, Ms.Ava is on her own, using Iron Tail on any debris from the trees. Lastly me and Lily collecting anything edible. Finding both, the good berries that didn't get damaged by the storm were put in a pile In front of the den, while the ones that didn't make it,the pile was set below the den area. Most likely Lily has a plan for those. It took us all morning to clean up, 3hours wasted. Leon announced its only 9:54, none of us knew what that meant, but sounds like it's still morning.

"FINALLY DONE!!" I yelled out right before I faceplant on the ground. "That's for the help sis, any everyone else. I should be able to replant everything in an hour or so" Lily said to all of us. I'm glad her mood improved. I hate seeing her upset.

Leon:"yea, no problem. It's the least we can do. We're friends aren't we?"

Hope:"I was happy to help you, Lily. After all you helped me with my wounds, so it felt like the right thing to do."

Ava:" I'm very proud of you, Son. *Rubs her head against his* Lily, I honestly do feel responsible for ruining your garden, I am, once again, sorry."

I go back to sis and gave her a friendly push. "Well you heard them. Now, let's go eat, I'm starving." I said to her with a grin, but then she pointed something out. "Sis, I don't know if you know this or not but..." she leans into my ear to whisper. "You stink really bad, and I might be to blame for that." Crap,I forgot I fell into something disgusting. Ugh I think everyone knows it too. Great, I'm gonna be hearing this from him all week. "Let's go wash up, Sis. Get rid of this smell." I say to her, only for her to ask Leon something for we head to the large pond. "Leon, can you sort the ruined berries real quick with me?"

"Umm sure." He said back. The two did just that, as for me, Hope and Ms.Ava made our way to the pond. I didn't waste a single sec and immediately dove into the water. Doggie paddle my way around. Hope Doesn't seem to like the water, But his Mom had other plans as she picked him up by the scruff and dipped him in. He started to flail around saying, "I'm drowning" but in reality, the water only went up half way up his legs. He soon calmed down at the realization on how deep it was, and completely turned red. "Oh look the red shinx is back." I shouted at him to tease him, but just like last time, He fainted. I facepawed myself for him fainting over that. Ms.Ava gave a sigh in disappointment and ridiculousness. Lily and Leon finally joined us but Leon was carrying two leaves, both have mashed up berries. "What's all this?"

"It's to help clean your fur, also giving it a nice smell. We have Pecha on one and is a combination of Lum and Oran berries." Honestly the idea of smelling like a berry was weird, but the scent wasn't going away even with the water washing it. I think whatever it was stained my fur. " Alright, if you insist. I'll take Pecha." Leon scooped up some of the mash and called me over to him, I head over with my ears at a 90 degree angle and my tail down. "If you try anything funny, Mister, I'll make you regret being reborn here." I warned him with a stern voice. He put up his hands and nodded. I turned my back towards him and sat down, waiting for him to do some. Suddenly something cold and mushy was placed on my chest, I let out a Eeeek at the sudden action. He apologized and asked if I wanted him to keep going. I nodded yes.

Few minutes in, with all this rubbing on my body, I can't help but admit it felt really good. He's so gentle and knows where to apply pressure and where not too. I occasionally let out a tiny mew in Delight of his calm rubbing. I think sis heard me, because I see her across from me, giggling. I shot my tongue out at her while pulling my eye lid down with my paw. "Meeeeeh"

"Ok Lazuli, close your eyes quickly for me." I heard Him ask and I do so. A large amount of water was dumped on me, washing the stuff in my fur off. I jumped back in the pond to clean whatever remaining juices that were left. My fur smelled better than ever, he really did a good job and he didn't hurt me in the slightest. Maybe I was wrong about him, he truly was a good human. I wonder what he thinks of me? I'll have to ask him some day.

Leon's PoV

As Lazuli jumped back in the pond, a splash of cold water washed over me. I wiped the water off my face to see the Eevee sisters giggling at me. "Haha you two." I reached into my pocket to pull out my phone and the box containing that odd card, placing them in a dry safe spot from the water. I didn't go in, due to the fact that I don't have any clothes to change into. I'm just lucky enough to still have pants. Using what's left of the destroyed shirt, I ripped up wash cloth size rages to was my body with. This is gonna have to do for now. As much as I love being here with my friends, I figured it wouldn't last long. Being a human, I'll need things like clothes, cleaning supplies for my body and hair, an actual roof and bed. I'm gonna have to face facts, I'm gonna have to leave the forest in search of a nearby town. The vixen sisters must have sensed my distress, coming out of the water to paw my back. "Leon, is something wrong? You can talk to us." I hear Lily say to me from behind. I told them how I felt about leaving to go into a town to start a new life. As I talked about it, I could see the sadness building up in their eyes as well as tears. Clearly they didn't want me to leave, but they understood that we live two different worlds. "When do you think you will leave?" Asked Lazuli from my right side, sitting there with a serious but sadden look.

"I'll be leaving tomorrow morning. I'm going to pack up a few berries for the trip. I'm sorry, Girls, but I am very thankful I have met you two and the things you have done for me." I leaned in to the two brown foxes and embraced them in a warning, and wet, hug. I looked over to Hope and Ava, Hope looked heartbroken to hear I was leaving. Ava didn't say anything but look down. "It's not like I want to leave, but I have too. There are things Humans need to live with in life. Without it, Life would be harder to deal with, like clothes and not to mention my blade can no longer be used. It's for the best, but don't worry, I'll make sure to come visit as often as I can." Saying to them as we broke apart from hug.

Lily's PoV

He's leaving, I knew the time would come when he had to go. But I do want it to come. I wanted to stay by his side, help him with anything and be there for him. I had to make a choice, Do I want him to go or was there any other way? Suddenly an idea did come to mind. But don't know how sis would feel about nor what Mom would think. I've made up my mind, there's no going back from this. I walked up to the shirtless human, sitting in front of him wiping away and tears that formed in my eyes. "If you're gonna be leaving, then please let me ask this of you.* Taking a deep breath before I asked this life changing question. "I'd like to come with you. Please, I want to be by your side." He looked completely shocked by the question, not just him but everyone else as well.

"Are you sure, Lily?! I mean this is your home, isn't it? Are you sure you want to leave it all behind?" He said back to me with concern. I knew I would be leaving everything behind, but I think it's time to change my life for the better. "I'm completely sure, this is what I want to do in my life. As long as I'm with you, I wouldn't mind leaving everything behind." I look over to my Sister, and went to hug her tightly. "I'm sorry, sis but I feel like I belong with him. I don't know how to describe it." She shook her head, hugging back before breaking up. She walked over to the human still in a bit of shock. "Hey, If you're gonna let her join you, then…*blushes* TAKE ME TOO." What, she wants to come too!? This took me by complete surprise. I was happy, happy to hear my sister wanted to come with me. I look back to Leon, anxiously waiting for his answer. My heart is pounding, he's just sitting there with his arms crossed and eyes closed, most likely thinking. After much waiting, he finally gave his answer. "Alright, If you two are absolutely sure about this. Then I would be extremely grateful and happy to have you girls with me." My heart fluttered with joy and relief. I couldn't contain my excitement and went for a full blown tackle, rubbing my head against his chest. Big sis did the same with me. Wrapping his arms around us, laughing as our fur tickled him. This is it, my, no, our journey to a new and better life, will start tomorrow.
