~Eevee

*November 5th, 2553

*5:45am

I ran all the way through the hospital trying to find my friends room. After I found out what happenned on the news, I feel beyond terrified and worried.
My friends could be both in critical condition or worse.
And my worst enemy is back. I knew it on the back of my spine.
This had her written all over it.

Her actions towards pokemon I loved infuriated me. Perhaps this way she wants me to react and come after her.

I won't play her games but I won't let her hurt anyone else I love anymore. Before it's too late.

Nobody harms my friends and gets away with it.

I reached the room and slammed the door open.

"EVELYN! RYU!"

I froze to see nurses working on Evelyn and Ryu. Evelyn's neck and Ryu's stomach oh...

Both of them weren't moving.

"Ma'am you need to leave!"

I resisted as they had to forcefully escort me to the hallway. Even at the doorway I held it open shouting my friends names.

Of course they didn't respond at that moment I just felt heartbroken.

I gave up and let go of the door as it slammed in front of me.

"Eevee!!"

I turned to see Sylveon jogging over to me. Unable to take it anymore I ran on over to him and embraced him tightly bawling my eyes out.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH! Heh! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!! WWWAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!! AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Sylveon said nothing as he held me back.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! Heh-heh... AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

I heard my parents walk up with my brother Hope. They looked like they wanted to say something but when they saw me sobbing they said nothing and joined the hug.

I cried in their arms for a long time. I eventually stopped but I couldn't stop trembling.

The only one crying was my brother because he was scared at my shouting. My parents were trying to comfort him while Sylveon carried me to a nearby bench.

"Eevee?"

"Sylveon. I'm scared."

"I know you are Eevee. I am too."

"I'm absolutely terrified. For my friends. For us and my family."

"I know. I was in complete shock when I first found out myself. The best thing we can do now is leave it in the doctor's paws. They know what they are doing."

"Is that all we can really do?"

"I wish we can do more for them."

"But Sylveon who else has to suffer before we finally do something about it?!"

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about if you'll be next! Or my parents! Or my baby brother! Will the entire world be slowly killed off because of me?!"

"Eevee."

"This happenned and it's all my fault!"

I was about to cry again when Sylveon surprised me by placing his paws on shoulders and shaking me back to reality.

"Eevee! Eevee! Eevee! Look at me!"

I looked up at him and he looked dead serious. His usual smile was gone and his paws were shaking. I rarely saw him act like this.

"Sorry. But none of this is in no way your fault! Don't you ever blame yourself for what's happenned! You can feel sad about this. You can cry with me as much as you need to. But I never want to hear you blame youself! You couldn't have prevented this! It would have been impossible! This is not your fault! Please don't blame yourself again!"

Sylveon said while trying to hold back his tears.

I have never seen him cry before so this left me speechless.

"Sylveon?"

"I'm sorry I just hate to see you blame youself. It...it breaks my heart in half. I'm not embrassed to cry in front of you...I'm just embarassed that I am crying but I guess it's a-alright. Because after you cried earlier can you blame me..."

I placed a paw on his face wiping away a single tear off his face.

*2 hours later

As the rays of the early morning peaked out through the window. I woke up with my head on Sylveon's lap.

The only sound was the beeping of the machines keeping our friends alive. I could barely look at them because of such a bad shape they were in.

Describing it would break my heart.

I let Sylveon get some rest, because how long would it be before we get another moment of peace again?
