Pokémon: Sable's Mystery
§CHAPTER TWO§
ØHuman Collar
From up in her tree Sable could see everything that any normal person would pay to see.She had managed to survive for almost 6 months, living off free food from passing trainers who took pity, and from berries taken from near-by bushes.She sat up on a high brach, her leg swinging freely as she sat with her back agaisnt the trunk.She was chewing on an apple that she had picked from this tree awhile ago.
"Hello up there"A voice called.
She recognized it and climbed down swiftly.
"Kaguru!" she yelled as she hit the ground.
She hugged the old trainer and smiled. He laughed and pushed her slightly away.
"Sable..Sable..Sable.."He sighed "I've told you time and time again, you have to be careful with brittle old bones like mine."
"Oh I'm sorry sir." She whispered as she bowed.
"Think nothing of it dear." he lifted her chin."But I have great news, I've finally figured out how you could live a somewhat normal life!"
She nodded and listened intently.
"In a few days I have to travel to the eastern city.There they have a special collar being developed in secret for you. A few favors had to be rewarded to me and this was it.I'll make you a deal." he grinned and looked over her shining smiling face. "All you have to do is move out of this forest and into my mansion. It's not right to stay out here, espically with the winter months coming."
She looked slightly confused.
"Winter?"she asked.
"Oh yes that's right..I forgot sorry.."he said quickly."Winter is where it gets really cold, the rain turns to snow and covers the world for months at a time.It's too cold for a 16 year old girl wearing nothing but a skirt and a shirt, you'd die within a week."
She nodded.
"When are you leaving for the city?"she asked"And how 'somewhat' human?"
"I'm leaving in about two days, and it'll be somewhat human because you'll still have the electrical power.When you wear the collar all of you pokémonic features will disappear, you could even put your hand exactly where your tail is while wearing the collar and feel nothing, your ears will even disappear.but the other bad part is that when you take the collar off your features will be visible again until you put the collar back on."he answered.
She nodded and smiled."Alright, deal!I'll live in your mansion for the collar.When do I have to start?"
"Well today if you want."he replied.
"No sense in waiting..I'll guess I'll go today!"

So thay left the tree that had served as a decent home for Sable.She would of course miss the tree but knew it had to be left sooner or later, it was like...she knew it was going to happen, a common sense sort of thing. But as they neared Kaguru's mansion the tree all but left her thoughts.
"It's so big!"was her first words.
"There are bigger ones Sable, this is just the biggest in the town." A voice unknown to Sable answered.
"Ahh Cain, so nice of you to be up."Kaguru said Cain walked out into the sunlight. He had short black hair and blue eyes and wore a black shirt and blue pants.On his shoulder was resting on one the pokémon living in the Zi region, a Babygo.He walked over to Sable, grabbed her hand and kissed it softly.
"Nice to meet someone as beautiful as you."He said Sable blushed wildly and uncontrolably.
"T..T..Thank you.."she whispered.
"Cain enough..You know this girl is not like other ones.
Cain sighed and backed away.
"Yes grandfather." he sighed softly.
Sable walked over to Cain and started to pet the small Babygo.
"what's it's name?"she asked as the small creature purred softly.
"Ash." Cain replied. "After the great master from about 70 years ago.
Sable smiled.The small conversation over Ash continued on into the mansion's den.It was full of laughter and smiled. And a very many glance from Cain to Sable. At about 9 at night Kaguru yawned.
"Well that's it for me folks..I'm tuckered."he mumbled.
Cain looked at him"Night gramps, I'll make sure Sable gets to her room okay."
"Make sure you do."He replied"But you better hea straight for your room right after."
Cain nodded as Kaguru walked out of the den towards the stairs. Cain sighed and looked at Sable who seemed facinated by the lit fire.
"Don't get too close." He said.
Sable jumped abit as he hand felt the fire.
"Ow..That hurt.." she whispered.
Cain nodded and grabbed a wet rag out of a small bowl grandpa had brought just in case this happen. Sable backed away from the fire. Cain sat by her and grabbed the hand that touched the fire, he softly dabbed at it with the rag. While Cain fully had his attention on the rag Sable was looking into his eyes as best she could. When he finished she didn't leave his eyes, instead he locked his eyes with hers. She slowly pulled her hand away.
"Umm..Thank you Cain." she whispered.
He nodded and stood up, followed by her standing.
"Bedtime." Cain said.
As they walked towards the stair they remained quiet.Nothing but total silence.Even during the walk in the hallway they didn't speak. When sable opened the door to the room Cain had showed her she gasped.It was elegent. She tunred and looked at him.
"Cain...I just want to say thank you..and you're just soo nice..thanks.." she whispered.
She kissed him softly on the cheek and went inside her room. Cain retreated to his room leaving Sable alone with her thoughts.She lied down and smiled as she thought to herself, soon she'd be as close to normal as she could get, and maybe then she would further explore the unkown feelings she had...for Cain..
