Well, I'm finally going to write this. I wrote Espeon a while ago, then I wrote a kind of prequel to it (Angelhaven Deaths), and now I'm finally getting around to this. I would have done it sooner, but I try not to have more then two chapter stories up at the same time. Having finished one of them, I can finally do this.
You know, I'm still not sure why I'm writing this. After all, when I first wrote Espeon, I was only intending to do one chapter. Now Espeon is four chapters long, I wrote Angelhaven Deaths, and I'm writing this on what happens next!!! Something about the twisted world they live in is so enticing…
Don't read unless you have already read Espeon. This probably won't be as dark, but that's not really saying much.
"You have to give it up," said the yellow fox, covered in jagged hairs. "They are stronger then us. Everything you do will be misinterpreted and used as an excuse for further cruelties."
The albino pokemon looked at him with annoyance. "I will kill every cursed member of their race if I have to."
"You already caused harm."
"I was weak. I will remedy my mistake."
"You want to take her here. You still won't kill her. Admit it, Nova, you just can't kill."
"I wiped out every other human in the town." She snarled in response.
"Yet you can't kill her…"
"I will give her a chance. If she fails…then, and only then, I will kill her."
On a rock, a red and white pokemon stretched, catlike. "I don't know why you're bothering. We all know what the outcome will be."
"In memory of Charity, I will do it." the brilliant white pokemon looked down, saddened. "I owe her that much."
"Give it up. Charity is dead," said the electric pokemon.
"I have to try," she answered with determination.

Nova stalked off, angry.
A large, wolf-like pokemon looked at her. "She hasn't made the transition well, has she?"
A graceful, blue creature looking strangely like a pretty version of a kappa looked at the fire pokemon angrily. "It's never easy, and her life was hard. Who are you to judge?"
"She needs to realize she is as good as dead. This is her new life, Rapture. Nova needs to accept it. She won't even realize her name is Nova."
"Her mother was named as one of us. I wonder…"
"It's nothing."
"Howlingflame, you always say that."
A blue pokemon, with a tail remnant of one of the maids of the sea, popped her head out.
"She may cause problems, but I don't think we can't handle one weak human."
"Nova has to learn. That is the problem, Maelstrom. She must accept what has happened."

"Nova, are you sure you want to do this?" the red and white pokemon said anxiously to her friend.
"Firewind, I know what I'm doing. Besides, I'm already dead, remember?" said the white fox.
"Stop that! You nearly died! You should be happy to be alive. Few would have survived that. You cheated death once, why do you feel so compelled to try again?"
"It's my fault. I will fix my mistake." Nova answered, her voice hard.
"You'll die! We're almost there, we need you!" begged her friend.
"No" she said, walking away.
"Give it up," groaned a black pokemon, with golden rings around it. "Don't you get it? She wants to die. She didn't cheat death, it cheated her, and she's giving it a second chance to get her."
* * *
"Should we try to stop her?" asked a small, brownish fox.
"No. She has to see for herself," answered a black pokemon, white horns on it's head and bone wrapping it's chest like a rib cage on the outside.
"We can't lose one…we need all of them!"
"Another might appear."
"One never has before," growled the fox with annoyance and scorn. "Why would one now?"
"We also never lost one before."
* * *
"You aren't a killer. You saved her life, didn't you? And that caused all this trouble," whined the fiery pokemon. "Don't try this!"
Can anyone figure out what's happening yet?
