A/N: Hey everyone!! It's the June holidays!! And I'm making an effort to write as much as I can!! Sigh…there's so much homework…-_- Anyway, the previous two chapters looked pretty long in Word, but it looks so short here…^^;; I'm going to try writing more!! =^.^= Thanx for the reviews!! I mean, review :@ Please review after you read!! I'm not going to impose anything like 'I'm not going to write until I get so-and-so number of reviews', in case some pple really don't like to write reviews, but I'd like to know if my fic is being appreciated. Thanx a lot and "Happy Holidays from Kids Central!!" =^^=
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon, Nintendo does; I only own this fic (and any other fics I might write in the future). NOW will u leave me alone? :'(
Errr…Pardon the paragraphs, they're a bit wonky. :D
"Uhhh…" I groaned in pain as I shook my head slightly, trying to clear it, but at the same time, trying not to make my headache worse. "My head hurts…" My eyes still closed, I stood up groggily. Slowly, I opened my eyes, and looked around blearily, only to be faced by total darkness. The forest was never so dark, even at night, as it was always illuminated by the moon and the stars. As my eyes got used to the dark, I saw that it was not totally dark like it seemed at first. A thin, triangular slice of flickering orange light, topped by a starry bit of sky, was half a metre in front of me.
As I sat there, I gradually sensed an Eevee next to me. I sniffed at it, and realized that it was Twilight. As I sniffed, I found out something else. There was a weird smell in the air and also on our bodies. It wasn't a bad smell, but it was strange and new. Also, a sort of crackling noise was coming from the slit of light and also a sharp, acrid smell. I tentatively tapped Twilight, and seeing that he didn't move, I shoved him hard. He grunted and got up.
"W-What's going on? Go back to sleep, Dawn, it's the middle of the night!" he complained, obviously thinking that we were in our tree.
"We're not in our tree!!" I whispered frantically. "We're somewhere on the ground, I think." I could smell the earth under our paws. "And I think that sharp smell is fire."
That got his attention. From young, we were warned of the dangers of fire. Fire was dangerous, we were taught, and because we lived in trees, it was life threatening. I heard that fires sort of 'ate' trees up, although I had never seen a fire before. I had always envisioned an orange monster-like thing, with a big gaping mouth that munched on trees.
"F-f-fire?!?!" he squeaked in a suddenly high voice. Obviously he was terrified of it, although I was pretty sure that he had never seen fire before. "Let's get out of here!!"
"I don't think it's eating anything," I said, gazing at the flickering light. "It's quite pretty."
Twilight was silent, and as I glanced over, I could see the orange light reflected in his large eyes. Then, with his eyes still on the light, he spoke.
"I think we should go out and investigate. You're right, it is pretty, but I want to know the source." He turned to me. "Let's proceed with extreme caution. You might never know, there could be a human outside."
I shuddered. I had heard about humans. When I was very small, mother used to frighten me into good behavior with a mild threat of "If you don't behave, I'll leave you at the bottom of the tree for humans to find." A picture of a yellow-eyed, evil-looking two legged monster sprang into my mind. I heard that only humans made fires, and I was suddenly terrified.
"Come on," Twilight beckoned to me impatiently with a dark brown paw. He was already beside the 'door'.
Gulping nervously, I padded over to stand on the other side of the 'door'. Touching the material of the 'door', I found that it was flimsy and moved easily. "I'll look out first," I whispered, and Twilight nodded tensely. Pushing the material away with my head, I peered out fearfully.
You are finally awake, I see, a soft, calm voice said in my mind. Please do not panic, Kris and I will not hurt you.
Muahahaha!! Who is Kris? And to whom does the mysterious voice belong? Wait and see in the next chapter!! *Laughs* Aren't I evil. Sorry if it's short. I'm starting another fic. I know that I shouldn't try to write too many at once, but I had this idea for quite some time already. I'm afraid that it will disappear if I leave it for to long. The new fic is a CCS one. Well, see you again!! Remember to r+r!! Thanx.
