Chapter 27: Guilt

Point of View Black

To make a long story short I was hauled to the pokemon center emergency room and they re-stitched my body and gave me a small blood transfusion to keep me going. After many hours of sitting in a pokemon center room I was now starting to feel better again, health wise. In no way did I feel like moving I was just not feeling like I was on the verge of death. Just when I was starting to get bored I heard a knock on the door to my room and the door cracked open.

Through the door Alex came running in with Flare and Hesh. Alex quickly ran up to my bed with an excited look on his face and he looked very relieved that I was okay.

"Black… I can't believe that I found you" Alex said with a smile on his face. I gave him a weak smile back since I was in a slightly better mood versus when I was dying earlier.

"I heard everything that happened and I'm just relieved that you are okay. I honestly thought you ran away, but I guess you were kidnapped in middle of the night" Alex said with a comforting smile on his face. Alex appeared to be completely oblivious to the fact I left way before and got abducted shortly after.

"Yeah… we'll go with that" I said awkwardly, despite the fact he couldn't understand a word that came out my mouth.

Flare, Kana and Hesh were all waiting behind Alex. They looked a little less depressed, but it was still obvious that they were bothered by everything that has been going on.

A thought then popped into my head that I wanted an answer too "Hesh where is everyone else who was trapped with me" I asked.

"Blue and that rattata are with the police speaking to a pokemon translator so they can tell the police. It looks like they are about to bring those bastards down for what they did" Hesh said as he took a pause between his sentences "And Ebony is in the waiting room of the hospital now. She would have came in with us but they wanted only a few of us to come in since your still in rough shape."

"And what about Connor" I asked wanting an answer to what all the previous drama was about.

Hesh's face froze and he looked down "Those bastards… They shot him down like he wasn't even a living pokemon" Hesh yelled as his mood quickly shifted to anger. My jaw dropped along with my ears and time froze in place as those words rung in my ears.

"No… that couldn't have happened… he left and got away" I said faintly wanting to find out that he was playing some sick twisted joke on me.

"Sorry Black but it's true. The people after you sent armed men after you and-"Flare was saying before I interrupted him "This is my fault" I said.

Even Hesh looked a little surprised by what I was saying "Black I would love nothing more than for it to be that easy, but you had nothing to do with anyone's death" Hesh said in an attempt to calm me down.

"Not responsible. What about Crystal one of the other pokemon trapped with us! It's my fault she died, I could have saved her but I was too weak and I just sat there like a coward as I watched her die right in front of me" I shouted as I held in my tears and resisted the urge to cry. Alex watched us with a very confused look on his face and had no way of figuring out what the tension between us was about.

"Black It's not yo-"Flare said before I interrupted "What the hell do you know? I watched her die because of me and I just fucking watched like a coward. That monster killed her because I refused to tell him some info and she paid for that" I snarled as I continued to resist my inner emotions. I felt so disgusted in myself for allowing pokemon to die over me.

Alex then decided to step in "I don't know what's going on but if your arguing this is not an appropriate time or place. We should all just be grateful that everyone made it out of that dangerous situation alive" Alex said trying to stop the drama.

"Just leave… please" I said as I rolled over so I couldn't see him.

"Black… I just want you to know when you need someone to talk to or just need a shoulder to cry on… I'm here for you and I know that you never wanted anyone to get hurt" I heard Flare say. I waited a few seconds and I instantly felt regret for blowing up on him like that. I quickly rolled back over to see Flare but I only saw Alex standing next to me.

"I'm sure they will be back later" Alex said with a reassuring smile and he stroked his hands gently across my black fur. Usually I would have killed anyone who touched me but I just didn't care at this point. Then I heard a knocking noise by the door of the room. Alex and I both shifted our gazed towards a man in a brown trench coat who let himself in the room. The man was white and appeared to be in his late thirties. The man had a dark brown buzz cut and carried a suit case with him.

"Hello, is this the umbreon known as Black" the man asked in a gloomy voice.

Alex just stood up and moved his body to face the anonymous man "Yes, may I ask who you are sir" Alex said as respectfully as possible.

"My name is detective Norman and I'm here to ask the umbreon a few questions if now is a good time" The detective said as he extended his hand towards Alex. Alex reached out and gripped Norman's hand and shook it.

"You're here to talk to a pokemon?" Alex said in a confused voice. I was a little confused myself since I had no clue how me and him where going to carry out a conversation with a language barrier between our species.

The detective just gave out a small chuckle "Well I have a pokemon to translate our conversation for me right outside. But first I'd like to know if this is a good time since he is still recovering and I do want to let him rest but this is important" the detective said in a respectful voice. I actually kind of liked him since he wasn't trying to force us to do anything and he just asked instead of just barking questions at us.

"What do you say Black" Alex asked as he gazed over at me. I didn't see any harm and I nodded my head in agreement.

"Excellent, this won't take too long" The detective said as he opened his brief case "Come on in Porygon we are ready to start" the man said.

My jaw dropped as I saw the most bizarre pokemon I have ever seen come through the door. "The hell is that" I said in confusion. The pokemon was a floating cube shaped duck that was pink with a blue belly.

In mid-air the pokemon rotated until it was facing me. "I am porygon and I will be translating the conversation between you and detective Norman" the abnormal creature spoke in a monotone voice that was kind of unusual listening to.

The detective then walked up to me holding a clipboard and a pen he got from the suitcase he was carrying around "I'm going to start my questions now, try and give as much detail as possible and take your time." I shook my head and waited for his first question "How long where you held captive in the facility" the detective asked. "One day at best" I quickly replied. The porygon then looked at the detective "One day at best" the porygon said mimicking exactly what I said.

"Alright next question, how many pokemon where there with you being held hostage at the time."

"When I was first there, there were five. One of the pokemon died in front of me" I said as I reflected back on the horrors I let happen "Another pokemon named Connor died from what I've heard from my friends. So including myself three pokemon are left alive." The porygon then said exactly what I said to the detective in its robotic voice.

"This next question may be something you don't want to talk about, but what did they do to you" he asked as he wrote notes on his paper. He was right I didn't want to talk about anything that happened their but I was just going to get this over with "They took a blood sample and cut off a small amount of my flesh and that's all I can remember" I said. The porygon then translated my words over to the detective. Alex was just sitting in the corner of the room quietly watching the interrogation.

"Okay I'm going to ask one more question for now and I'll let you rest a little bit" I just nodded to what he said and awaited for the final question. "Do you know for sure who the people were who held you hostage" he asked. Memories from my conversation with stark on the beach came flooding back into my head as I recalled what he said "They went by the name Team Genesis I believe." The porygon then translated my words to the detective and he wrote down more notes.

"That's exactly what I needed to hear to confirm some things. Your friends told us the location of the Genesis base and right now our whole police force is paying them a little visit. I'll be asking more specific questions tomorrow so until then please get some good rest" the detective said as he packed up his suitcase and headed towards the door. The porygon followed the man out and they left me and Alex alone again.

Point of View Flare

I was now regrouping with Gray and Kana at the hotel. Once I was in our hotel room I quickly found a comfortable spot on the floor and lied down so I could finally relax from such a long day. Gray was on the couch napping as far as I could tell and Kana just lied on the bed dead asleep from exhaustion.

"So how's the umbreon doing. Funny how everything falls apart in his wake as I said thing would" Gray said in a malicious attitude.

My tolerance was quickly worn dry from Gray's prejudiced problem with Black and I was not going to tolerate it any longer "Gray stop. I honestly don't care about your racist comments" my eyes rolled as I retorted against what Gray said.

"How can you be okay with this, we are just in the same area as him and everything is falling apart and two pokemon die because of him on top of that" Gray said in resentment.

"Yeah well if he wasn't there in the first place all five of those pokemon would have died at some point in there. Black saved them, he didn't want anyone to die and I talked to him and he hates himself right now for what happened to those two pokemon" there was a silent silence between me and Gray for a minute before either of us spoke a word. I decided to break the silence "Gray can you just please try and act nice to him. He is going through a hard time now and he was already going through a lot in his life before all of this" Gray just looked at me like I was asking the impossible. "Why would I do that for an umbreon" he countered.

"Because Gray if he was the horrible monster you think all umbreon's are then he wouldn't have been affected from watching pokemon around him die. He would be light as a feather and feel no guilt, he is a good pokemon and your blinded by your intolerance towards umbreon's" I said as I stared Gray right in his eyes with a very stern glare.

Gray then let out a sigh "Fine I don't like him at all but I'll pretend to be nice to him until things calm down a bit" Gray said with an exhale. I actually was very astonished that I convinced him to even remotely be nice to Black and I just couldn't have confidence in my ear's that I was hearing this from Gray of all pokemon. I expected him to honestly just laugh in my face like I was an idiot to him.

I then let out a big smirk "Thanks Gray." Gray just lied back down on the couch and went back to napping and didn't acknowledge my gratitude. It was now early afternoon now but I was already exhausted from the chaos that went on around us and I decided it was finally time to get some well-earned rest as I put my head down and closed my eyes and gave into my bodies' desire to rest.

Point of View Black

It was now early morning and I just felt groggy. Luckily I was able to avoid getting any form of pain killers. The reason I hated pain killers had to do with how they made me feel, especially after what happened last time. Being in a pokemon center room all day was really boring and especially depressing since all I could think about was Connor and Crystal. I kept thinking of how I could have done things differently to save them, but in the end I always had to remind myself that there was no point. What was done was done and I was going to have to live with their blood on my paws for the rest of my existence.

The random noise of someone knocking on my door quickly interrupted my silence and detective Nor something walked into the room wearing the same trench coat. The porygon that was with him last time was not with him this time and I was confused on how he planned on communicating with me.

"Can I help you…?" I said in a confused voice even though he couldn't understand me.

"Black there is something I need you to do" the detective said as he walked closer to me and slid his left hand along the wall not even bothering to look at me.

I waited in silence for what he was going to ask me to do "Our men arrived at the base team Genesis had on the mountain. The whole place was wiped clean and there isn't a single trace of life or evidence there. The base is still intact but they lit a lot of stuff on fire within the premises and we are running into a dead end really fast and I want you to come down to the base and tell me everything you can from there. Even the smallest things you can tell us will help us destroy those bastards" The detective said as he looked into my eyes with a serious glare. I could see his dedication on this case and it was very respectable.

I considered his idea and I had no intention of going back to that hell hole, but there was one thing I wanted to do if I ever did go back there. I gave a nod to show I would agree to help him out.

The detective then gave a small smile "Good, I got permission from your trainer already and the pokecenter said I could take you out as long as you don't move a lot."

The detective then walked out of the room for a minute and came in with a wheel chair. He then walked over towards me and lifted me up and set me down. I was in no way thrilled about getting picked up and then pushed around in a wheel chair but I was also a little happy that I was finally leaving this pokecenter, despite the fact I was not happy about where we were going. Once we were outside the detective rolled me towards a blue car of some kind and opened the door. He then picked me up and put me in the passenger seat of his car.

I quickly made myself confortable and curled up into a ball on the seat and tried to relax a little. Luckily for me the detective was nice enough to open the car window on my side so I could get some fresh air and enjoy a little bit of the nice weather.

After about a minute of driving the car stopped. I then sat up in disbelief that we were already there. We were outside a hotel and we were still in Amberette town. Then I heard the car door open behind me and I looked back to see Alex and Flare jumping in the car.

"What are you two doing here" I asked in a confused tone.

Flare then looked at me with a small smile "Alex's condition for the detective taking you to this place was that he had to come with and I'm just coming along to be a friend."

"Oh… thanks" I said. To this point in my life I was still not quite use to pokemon or people treating me well since my species was shunned by many pokemon and people in the past and I in no way have been friendly with anyone in a very long time until recently, around two years to be more exact.

The detective drove us on a trail on the mountain and we all sat in silence for around ten minutes before Flare decided to break the silence "So how are you holding up, does your wound still hurt?" Flare asked in an attempt to start a conversation.

I wasn't really in the mood for a conversation since it was early in the morning and I was still groggy from just waking up "I'm doing fine" I replied bluntly not wanting to socialize with anyone at the moment.

"That's good" Flare said. I wasn't really making eye contact with him, but I knew if I was to look back he would probably have his usual smile that never went away.

"Well if your curious at all I'm doing just fine" Flare said with a cheerful tone.

"How is Kana and Gray doing" I asked since I knew he wasn't going to stop talking so I decided to at least get some info out of him.

"Kana is a little disturbed from seeing the dead bodies on the beach but she is slowly getting over it and Gray is Gray"

"Where is Ebony and Hesh" I asked.

"Hesh is actually looking out for Ebony until a new home can be found for her. It's sad since her sister was the only family she had" Flares words got more silent as they went on and he realized that his words were probably upsetting me, which they were unintentionally upsetting me since I didn't want to remember how I was responsible for severing a child eevee's last family member.

"Sorry I know you probably didn't want me to bring that up" Flare said with an apologetic tone in his words. I just sat in silence and pondered how I was going to face Ebony and apologize to her and make things right for her. Although I knew better than anyone what it was like to lose family and nothing in the world can fill an empty void like that.

After a very long time of sitting in a silent car we finally made our way up the mountain where the facility was except this time the house was burned down and it was surrounded by police cars. The area was lit up by the flashing lights coming from the police cars and a little bit of smoke emitted from the house that was there.

"What happened here" I asked. "They cleaned up the evidence really good here" Flare said as he observed the sight as well. The detective got out of the car and opened the door for me. He then picked me up and gently and set me on the ground.

"Are you fine to walk I got a wheelchair in the back seat that I can haul you around with if you are still too weak."

I took a few steps to get a feel on how much my body was strained from my wound. To my surprise my body was recovering quite well, although there was a lot of strain on my wound but I'd still rather walk than be pushed around all day, plus wheel chairs were for humans and not for pokemon with my body structure so it kind of made me feel silly when I was rolled out of the pokemon center.

Outside the burnt down house that hid the facility was the same creepy porygon. The detective went up to the strange creature and exchanged a few words and they both walked towards us. Or for the porygon he levitated towards us. I couldn't help but find the Porygon strange and unsettling. The thing looked so odd and levitated around and it bothered me so much that the thing never blinked.

"Please follow me and watch your step" The detective said as he led us through the burnt down house. It appeared that whatever fire did exist was put out a while ago and had plenty of time to cool off. At times like this I wished I choose the wheelchair since my feet where now covered in ashes from the burnt house. We walked through the remains of the house until we came by the exit we used to get out of the Team Genesis base. The detective then began walking down the stairs that led to the condemned facility.

"Follow me please" the detective said as he continued making his way down to the base. Once I was back down in the base my nostrils were instantly filled with a little smoke and I began coughing violently.

"Mew what the hell happened here" I said as I coughed on the remaining smoke that I accidentally inhaled.

The porygon then turned towards me "Shortly after you and the other pokemon escaped, team Genesis quickly destroyed any form of evidence of their existence and evacuated the foundation" the porygon said in his awkward robot voice.

"I have something I need to do here before we go on" I said as I began walking down the hall. The porygon followed as well as he translated my words. Everyone just followed me and didn't interrupt what I had to do. I eventually came up on the door that led to where I was held hostage. I scratched the door a little indicating that I wanted in. The detective quickly walked over and opened the door for me and I entered in cautiously. I looked in the room and everything was empty in the room besides scorch marks everywhere, the cages and the remains of a blood stain where Crystal died. The sight of the blood was still unsettling but that was the last thing on my mind at the moment.

"Where is she" I yelled in frustration. "Where did you put her body" I yelled at the detective. The porygon translated what I said and he then raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Crystal" I said as I became frustrated that her body was gone.

"We didn't find anyone in here. We did find some remains in the cafeteria though" the detective said.

"Then take me there" I said in an anxious voice. The detective then directed me in the direction of the cafeteria. The hallway was filled with police men and a forensics team and they were searching for even the slightest sign of evidence. This entire facility literally looked like it was lit on fire just to burn anything that could contain even a molecule of DNA that could be led back to them. The facility was mostly made of steel and concrete so there was no real fear of the area being unstable to walk in after all the damage done to the facility.

We finally walked through a door in the hallway that led to the cafeteria and inside was just a big room with a lot of round tables that were sloppily tossed to the side. Everyone cringed and covered their nose from the offal smell in this room. It smelled like burnt meat only worse. I then looked in the center of the room and noticed what was causing the horrible burning smell. In the middle of the room was a smoking pile of burnt pokemon. The corpses were burnt down to the bone and hardly left anything. I cringed at the horrible sight I was seeing but I made my way towards the pile. As I got closer the details on their body made me cringe in disgust. The burnt corpses were mostly reduced down to bone that where covered black in scorch marks. Whatever flesh did survive was burnt almost black and had a few red spots along the meat.

"Who were all of these pokemon, I don't remember seeing many pokemon here" I said as I tried to recall how many pokemon I saw in the facility. The porygon of course translated my words for Alex and the detective to hear. Flare just sat by the door gagging on the sight in front of him.

The detective then looked at me "The room you were kept in wasn't the only room with pokemon in it. Yours actually had the least pokemon in it. All the pokemon here were probably killed because they had no way of getting rid of them in time and they knew that we would be coming as soon as we were alerted about this place" I then felt even worse than before. There was a least twelve burnt pokemon corpses in this pile and I was responsible for their deaths. If I would have known they were here I could have saved them when I was escaping them and instead they were left to be killed while we escaped. The more and more I dug through this place the more I realized how much death I have caused just for being around in this world. I could feel tears forming in my eyes but I tried my hardest to fight them off since I didn't like crying in front of others.

"Black are you going to be okay" Flare asked as he walked up to me looking like he was about to puke from the horrible sight in front of him. He then reached his paw out to touch me but I just smacked his paw away. Flare just looked at me with dilated eyes and I could tell he was devastated by the sight in front of him as well.

"I could have saved them you know. They died because I escaped without them when I could have saved them too" I said as I felt myself getting closer to breaking and just crying like a child in front of everyone, but I continued to fight off my emotions as I felt my eyes become heavy and strained from holding back tears for so long.

"Black you can't keep blaming yourself. You had no way of knowing these pokemon would have died" Flare said as he gave me a pat on the back with his paw. His optimism did help bring me out of my shitty mood or at least postpone it for now.

Then we heard the sound of running towards the cafeteria door and we all turned and saw a tired looking police officer standing in front of the door. "Sir we found something you may want to look at" he said as he took in deep breaths. We all followed the guy down the hall until we came across a door that was open. We walked in and it appeared to be a monitoring room where they watched everything through security cameras. The room was dark and the only thing that lit up the room was the twenty monitors mounted on the wall along with a bunch of computer equipment along with a desk below the monitors. The police officer then grabbed a DVD off the desk in the room and put it into a DVD player that was connected to the monitors in the room. Most of the monitors were playing a white fuzzy screen with black dots appearing rapidly on the screen similar to a TV channel with nothing on it.

"Watch this sir. This is the only form of evidence we've found so far" the man said as he stepped back for us to see the video and every monitor on the wall played the same video. The quality on the video was almost crystal clear and even had sound. The video was a recording from one of the cameras and it was watching the cafeteria we were just in. In the video scientist were frantically running around. Along the wall of the cafeteria was a line of pokemon against the wall being held by gunpoint by armed men. Many of the pokemon had restraints on such as muzzles, cuff and chains so they couldn't fight back. Many of the pokemon were whispering and I could hear some of them crying in fear. One of the pokemon appeared to be praying to the God they believed. Two of the scientists then began pulling a cubone into the room by its legs. The cubone was constantly trying to resist the man and eventually got its leg free and kicked the man between the legs and began running. One of the scientist with the gun then shot a round at the cubone and it shredded through its chest and the cubone fell limp.

"Start a pile in the middle of the room" One of the scientists said. One of the scientists then grabbed the cubone and began dragging the dead creature. All of the other pokemon where now screaming and panicking from the gun shot that silenced the cubone. Then after a few seconds a bayleef managed to get free from its restraints and sent a razor leaf towards one of the scientists and hit him directly on the shoulder and he fell on the ground holding his bloody wound. Once that happened multiple began running but then the loud noise of gunshots fired off into the air and every rebelling pokemon quickly fell to the ground dead. The floor was now covered in blood and every pokemon that didn't defy the scientist's was practically hugging the wall.

"Failure to cooperate will end in all of your death's now please cooperate and this will be over soon" One of the scientist yelled at the terrified pokemon as the other scientists helped their wounded comrade up.

After a few minutes another pokemon was dragged into the room and lined up against the wall. "That's the last of them. Do it" the scientist said and he headed for the exit.

The moment those words were said all of the scientists pointed they're guns at the pokemon. Their was a split second of silence in the room as all of the pokemon stared at the armed men. One of the men appeared to be shaking in fear or perhaps out of guilt. After a few seconds the loud sound of gunshots filled the air and a few screams were quickly cut short. Every one of us besides the detective stopped watching right after that and looked away. After a few seconds I then shifted my gaze back at the clip and saw the dead bodies of many pokemon lying dead on the ground covered in blood. One of the scientists then took off his faceless mask and fell to his knees. His back was turned from the camera so his face couldn't be made out but it appeared that he was crying. One of the other scientists then walked up to him and grabbed his mask and put it into the crying man's hand forcefully and whispered something in his ears. The man who was crying then got up to his feet and put the mask back on to conceal his identity.

All I could think was how this was my entire fault and how none of them deserved to die like that. One of the scientists then walked into the cafeteria with a gasoline tank and walked towards the dead pokemon. Then another one of the scientists walked into the room with a can in his hand. He then walked up to the camera and looked at it for a second through his blank mask and held up the can which turned out to be spray paint. He then sprayed a black thick paint on the camera lens and stopped us from spectating the horrors of the scene. Even though I didn't see the end I got what happened from their and I was disgusted by how inhumane they were.

All of us stood there silently not knowing what to say. "Who… Who would do horrible things like that" Flare said with tears rolling down his eyes, Alex looked like he was fighting off some emotions from the clip we watched as well. I remained silent as the image of the pokemon dying replayed over and over in my head. I couldn't get the image of their terror as they were shot out of my head as they cried and prayed for mercy. In the end I felt solely responsible for this since I was the one who left them to die and I couldn't get that thought out of my head no matter how hard I tried.

Flare looked devastated and had tears rolling down his eyes. The detective on the other hand was just writing notes down on his clipboard and didn't look to fazed by the video we were shown.

"How can they do this… something has to be done about this" Flare said in a shaky voice. Flare was right these monster's couldn't keep getting away with committing acts so horrible and just walk away un affected.

"I'm going to kill every single last one of them" I said with a growl as my sorrow was quickly converted into anger.

"Black…" Flare said in a shaky voice "Hatred won't fix anything."

"Look at what they did though…" I said in an angered voice as I fought off my tears. The whole time we have been talking the porygon was translating everything we have said and it was kind of starting to get slightly on my nerves and I felt like way to much was going on at once and I began feeling like everything was moving fast and I felt very uncomfortable from that feeling.

"Besides that clip, they have stripped this place clean and we have nothing to even prove that experiments were even done here" the detective said in a stressed voice as he banged his hand on the desk next to the monitors.

Anger was still building up in me from seeing how low humanity could go and seeing the horrors that went on in this world "They can't keep getting away with this" I yelled in frustration. The porygon continued translating my words. Even though the Porygon didn't translate my words with any emotions I could tell Alex could sense my emotions from the tone of my voice and my body language.

Alex then stepped forward "They won't Black I promise that they will get what they have coming one day" Alex said. I just looked at him with fury in my eyes.

"And how the fuck is that huh? There is no sign that they were even here and right now somewhere else in the world pokemon are being tortured in Hell's like this and all you can do is talk about them getting judgment. The world is full of ignorant morons and the world is going to turn a blind eye on this, because all there is, is our stories and no evidence besides pokemon burnt beyond recognition and a video." I yelled in frustration at Alex and I began inhaling deep breaths to recover from my outburst. The porygon was still translating my words and I saw Alex's head drop from listening to my words. Finally the porygon finished translating. The room was now filled with silence and no one said anything.

"All of their deaths are my fault… and what about me… Don't I deserve something… This is my fault…" I said in a shaky voice as I completely broke and tears flowed down my eyes as guilt overcame me. The porygon translated my words to Alex.

"Black…" Alex said as he dropped to his knees and pulled me into a tight hug and held me tightly against his chest. I just kept crying and didn't even try and fight it anymore. Everyone just walked out the room and gave us a moment of privacy.

"It's okay buddy no one is blaming you for anything" Alex said in a comforting voice as tears poured down my eyes as I sobbed in his arms as he held me tighter.

End Of Chapter

Author Note: have you Ever felt extreme guilt for doing something and it just ate at you for a long time. I think we have all been their at one point. (My list is to long to count...) anyways that's what Black was going through in this chapter. Except Black held in his emotions and refused to let them out until eventually he broke at the end of the chapter and let his emotions out. Black is experiencing a lot of guilt since he feels responsible for leaving those pokemon to die when he felt like he should have been their to save them but instead he escaped. Now on to some non story related stuff lol. I couldn't help but notice no one answered my questions... Oh well I'm honestly not surprised at all and I saw that coming... just thought i'd try. Anyways if you enjoyed this chapter please give me a review. Can you guess what I'm going to say next? Thanks you to everyone who has stuck with this story so long and thanks so much for reading and reviewing! Also this story has just now reached the 100,000 mark and I looked online and thats like almost the length of some descent sized books. (Assuming the source was credible)
