Well... anyway, I want to let everyone know that this length of chapter is most likely going to be the norm from now on since I can't keep coming up with fillers to expand the chapters and make them long. And also with real life and with other things going on I can't update like I used to. But I'm still going to try for a chapter a week, that is my goal! But if I don't update every week, please don't be PMing me about hurry up and is the story dead. I will get around to getting the chapter out, don't worry, I have no intention in letting this story die.
Well... since I got that out of the way, I hope you guys enjoy the chapter!
Waking up after a cold night never feels good. But waking up to find that your family isn't next to you to keep you warm feels even worse. I slowly opened my sleepy eyes to see my surroundings, something that I was used to seeing - short dirt walls of our small den. The only visible light in the cave was coming down the small tunnel that was leading to the surface. I let out a long yawn and got up to my four paws. I took one last look around to make sure no one was still asleep, then I made my way to the tunnel that led to the surface.
I stepped out of the tunnel. While I was making up the tunnel before I got my eyes adjusted to the light, so standing here now it doesn't hurt that much. I lowered myself and stretched my muscles and got them to wake up from their slumber. I looked up to the sky, seeing that the sun has just raised and warming everything up. A cool breeze blowing in the forest, going through my soft brown fur. The chilling wind making me even more cold in this morning but still bearable.
Our den is sitting near the shore line of a large lake deep in the forest. Far way from anything that may cause us harm. Playing near the lake were our two kits, enjoying a fun game of tag in this early morning.
I walked close to them and laid down on the soft, wet grass as I watch over them, making sure they don't get too rough and to make sure no other pokemon comes up and think we're dinner. I sat there for a good five minutes before I felt something move against my left side. I looked over and saw what I expected to see. It was a Umbreon, it was Sora. He laid down next to me and licked my cheek. His muzzle and paw smeared in blood.
"Good morning Luna. Sleep well?", He asked, licking my fur a bit more before backing off to give me room to breath and respond.
I showed a small smile on my muzzle, "Very good thank you. I take it we got breakfast?". We usually have berries to eat on most days. But every now and again we would crave some fresh meat to eat. We never liked killing other pokemon for our gain but we gave gotten used to it as time went on.
Sora crossed his eyes to looks the the blood that stained his fur around his muzzle, "Oh yeah. I found a sleeping rattata so it was a easy kill", he responded trying his hardest to lick the blood off his fur. This made me smile as I moved closer and started to help lick it off. Even Sora can't reach every spot.
As I groomed Sora, tasting the sweet blood of the pokemon he hunted. The only thing going through my head was to eat the rattata, the blood tasted so good that I couldn't hold myself back and I shot up and look towards our kits. Sora was fazed by my sudden action as I do this every time I taste blood, "Kids! Breakfast!", I called out to them. Almost instantly they perk up their ears and stared in my direction. Behind me and near the entrance to our den laid a dead, lifeless Rattata still slightly bleeding from the neck.
Our kit's quickly grew wide smiles as they raced over to it. They loved to fight with each other over everything. Which one get's to eat first, which one is the strongest, which one of them we loved the most. It was cute and it was just playful banter between them.
The kits made it to the dead pokemon and dug their teeth in, each one taking a different limb. The both tugged and pulled with all their might, trying to tear their piece of the Rattata off. With both of them pulling it wasn't long before two of the legs ripped off, blood pouring from the tears as the legs came off completely. The kits dragged there limb to where they were playing before started eating. They enjoyed it when we get meat to eat. They enjoyed it greatly, just like us and I couldn't hold myself back anymore.
I wandered to the ripped up corpse of the pokemon and laid down next to it, Sora joined me as he laid next to me. He smiled and tilted his head, indicating he wanted me to eat first, he was always kind like this and I didn't hesitate in eating as I can still taste the blood I licked off him before hand.
I stuck my teeth into the chest of the Rattata and blood ran down my muzzle and down my fur as some of the blood ran down my throat. The taste of the blood and fresh meat was divine, I wish I could eat it everyday but Sora wouldn't let us. He didn't want to fully be like a umbreon, but he would do anything for us.
As I was digging into this lovely breakfast, everythings started to melt all around me and disappear into nothing. This didn't distract me from my meal though as I continued to bite into it and chowed down on the meat, but it wasn't long before everything was engulfed in darkness and I was sent away from my world.
I suddenly woke up in the cave. And I just realized It was just in my dream before. I loved that dream, I had kits and Sora was with me as my mate. But unfortunately that was just a dream. It's not real life, but yet, I wish it was.
Think and laying there after waking up, I only just noticed the funny feeling I had in my mouth. I moved my tongue around it and it was fuzzy and warm. I looked down to see what it was and to my surprise I found Sora's furry arm in my mouth. I slowly backed my head away from it, removing his arm, before it was out and I gagged slightly as I coughed. I guess that dream affected me slightly as I seemed to be hungry after that.
Licking my own fur to get the taste of Sora's fun out of my mouth I heard faint sobbing echo in the cave. I must admit I could hear it before but I was too busy focusing on my dream and the fur in my mouth. I carefully got up from my spot against Sora and stepped over his arm. Moving away from that spot I suddenly felt cold as Sora was keeping me warm during the night. But if I feel cold now, he must be freezing trying to keep me warm during the night. He shouldn't do this, he should think about keeping himself warm and not worry about me. But... I'm not going to complain if he cares about me like that. I love his attention.
Moving away from my own thoughts again, I focused on the sobbing that was still echoing in the cave. I moved further into the cave where there was little light coming in from the entrance. I didn't want to go down here, anything could be lurking in the shadows but I wanted to find out who was making this noise. Thinking about it, I didn't see Clare when I got up, either she's gone for a walk, or she is the one crying.
I walked for some time, further and further into the cave system, every step I took was one further away from Sora and the outside. But I was still so curious about the crying. It could be someone that is hurt and needs help or it could for another reason, either way I must help.
There was a light up ahead in the dark cave, it was like a beacon in the darkness calling for me. I didn't want to be in this darkness for much longer and it seemed that the crying was coming from there anyway, so I bolted for the light like my life depended on it. Well... I guess my sanity depended on it. Spending time in the dark alone can affect you, even if you are in it for a short time.
I made it to the light, and find something that I wasn't expecting. It was a big underground cave, with a hole in the top to let in light from the sun and moon. Most of the cave floor was taken up by a lake. Not much room to to move or do anything, unless you want to swim. I could still hear the crying and it was louder than ever, and it sounded like it was right next to me, which it was. A few Eevee lengths away was Clare, laying down staring at the hole in the roof, crying her little eyes out.
I walked up to her and carefully laid down next to her, cuddling up to make me and her warm, and to also comfort her, "Clare... you okay?". The Poochyena kept staring up at the sky, not paying attention to me in the slightest, "Clare?", I asked again, this time she turned her to look at me. Her eyes look sore from all the crying, and her fur drenched.
"Lu-luna? What are you doing up?", she sadly asked. Her voice affected by all the crying she has been doing.
"I had a dream, then woke up. I heard someone crying so I came to see what was happening. What's wrong?".
Clare looked back up to the hole and to the stars above it, releasing another tear, "I um... it's just, remembering the past... it's not easy", she looked like she was about to cry again, just thinking about it for a few seconds.
"Hey... please don't cry. You're safe now", what I said didn't stop her from sobbing again as more tears rolled down her furry face. I couldn't help but feel sorry for her, her life sounded lovely till she was taken. Being a pokemon is great. But being force to become one must be horrific, "Clare... here", I leaned in closer and started to lick her fur under her eyes, trying to clean it from all the crying she has been doing. This slowly got her to stop as I leaned back.
"I... I was so lost. With Team Horizon, they changed me... but they fed me and looked after me to an extent. But... after releasing us... I was just lost", Clare didn't tell Sora and I this yesterday, probably too busy trying to get through her story.
"But you had... um... Sky with you, you two would of been fine", I reassured her. But that is the question. Being human then changing into pokemon, you wouldn't know how to survive, it must of been hard to deal with. I was raised in a house with humans looking after me, but I do know how to look after myself if I was to defend for myself.
Clare looks down to the ground, still saddened, "We weren't... not at first anyway", She looks back up to stare me in the eye, "We had to change to survive... slowly but surely we were losing what we held on to... we dug a hole and lived in that. We... we killed... others... just to eat... it was horrible".
"I'm sure you-".
"Even looking at you now, I don't see a friend... just my next meal... this is how far I changed to live... I hate myself", Clare seemed like she was about to start crying again. She has changed so much just so she can live. She isn't human anymore but doesn't want to become more pokemon, this is saddening to listen to.
"Clare... I can't imagine how hard this has been for you. But we will get you back home to your family you can try to mend what's left of your life", I gave her a soft smile as I tilted my head. She needed to know that everything will be fine now.
Clare seemed to have gotten happier with this news, it was one of her goals to get back home. She found Sora for this reason, "I... I know. I thank you for that, really I do", Clare seemed to be getting happy thinking about seeing her family again, every second that goes by the happier she looks, "If I can just get back to them... then I will be happy again".
"It might take some time, but we will do it.". I sat up and looked up at the night sky, it was beautiful to look at, I don't think I've ever seen a gloomy night sky in my life. Clare followed my lead and sat up with me, looking at the sky also.
"I know. Family means alot to me, especially now, after all this", her sad, sobbing voice is gone, now replaced with a happy one. This is what I like to hear from friends. Clare soon had a smile on her muzzle as she turned her head slightly to look at me, "So... you and Sora. You two are a thing?".
This question took me by surprise. Clare and I talked about this slightly the day I met her, but I didn't tell her much, this was actually making me blush, "Well I...uh...we...I guess so".
"Couldn't wait until he changed huh? You kissed yet?", now Clare was giving me a taunting smile. She was finding this fun. I wanted to stop her, but I wanted her to cheer up, but she said left me frozen to do anything.
Kiss Sora? I never thought of it, and never planned on kissing him like she was thinking. I might have licked him on the cheek here and there, but not kissed, "I...I... it wouldn't be right...he isn't a pokemon".
"And? So what, you two love each other right?", Clare asked, I just nodded to answer, "Then why not? Sora might not have changed yet, but he will... there is no escaping it. So he will be your mate now and then".
If Sora does change then he will be my mate. But now... I love him... but I can't do those kind of things, It's not right. What if he wanted to do the same thing? No... Sora wouldn't, he is too scared to try that. I'm too scared as well.
"Well... Clare. I don't really... Sora and I just...", I tried to explain all this to Clare, but I just couldn't find the right words to say. Clare's smile started to grow as the time went by, she knew she was right and I couldn't really complain, "Clare... I would love to. But I just can't, Until Sora is a pokemon I will just be with him... unless he does it first".
"But... what if he finds a cure for this? And he goes back to his old life. You won't be mates anymore", Clare paused for a second to let out a sigh, "Luna, if you don't show him how you feel then he will just change back and he will never know".
Clares words echoed in my head, replying over and over again. What is she's right? What if Sora will find a cure and go back to being human, leaving me all alone... as much as I want Sora to be happy and change back, I don't. I want him to change completely, become a Umbreon so he can be my mate. To others it sounds mean to want him to change, and it is, but I liked Sora even before this, "Clare, if Sora finds a cure then I'll be happy for him. I will be sad but this isn't about me, is it?".
Clare smiling expression quickly washed away. I thought it weird that she was talking about this so much, pushing me to make a move on Sora, and now it seems that I'm catching onto Clare's little plan, "Well... of course it is! It's about you and-".
"No, I know about us...I know how things will go. But why are you pushing for this?", I interrupted her. My question was straightforward and simple.
"Well...I'm not...", Clare sighed in defeat, she knew that I already figured it out, "I just... want to Sora to find someone. I never got that chance, only with Sky and he disappeared.". Mentioning Sky made Clare fall depressed again, and I don't like seeing her like this. A sad Poochyena is something no one should see.
"Clare... I'm sorry for what happened. I'm sure Sky is out there somewhere. But that doesn't mean you try to bring Sora and me together. As much as I would like it to happen", I again started to lick fur under her eyes, she seems to cry so much that I wonder if her fur is ever dry.
It took a few minutes for Clare to calm down and stop crying and we sat there in silence looking at the sky for what seemed like hours. Long enough for the stars to slowly fade away from the rising sun. During this whole time I've been trying to think of what it would've been like to be Clare during all of that.
She must of been scared, being taken away from her family. I never knew my parents, I always saw Tom as my dad because he is my trainer and he has looked after me since I hatched, as well as Sora, but after awhile I grew to like Sora more. He looked after me like Tom, but Sora spent time with me and made me feel loved. But... with Clare she knew her parents, she had a life and it was taken away from her.
Our silence was interrupted with Clare getting up on her four paws, "Luna...thank you. Thanks for talking to me". Now Clare was smiling again, after all this she has a friend again that she can talk to. If I was her that is all I would want right now, besides trying to get home. I got up and smiled myself and made my way out of the cave we have been sitting in.
"What are friends for. Come on, we should head back before Sora wakes up", and with that I walked down the dark, echoing cave, being shortly joined by Clare.
As we made our way back, Clare and I chatted about what she used to do and how I act as a pokemon. She wanted to know more about being like us since she wasn't born like this. But she could only learn so much from someone that isn't the same as her. Since I lived in a house with human, I wasn't raised in the woods like a lot of other pokemon. Although I do have those urges of hunting and living like them.
Maybe if Sora changes completely and becomes my mate then we could go live in the woods. Raise out kits like every other pokemon and enjoy ourselves just like we are in my dream. I really wish that comes true.
We finally made it back to Sora who was still asleep, probably still talking to that voice in his head. I walked over and laid next to Sora, staring at him with concern. If he is talking to that Aeon voice, I wonder what they are talking about.
They could be talking about yesterday and Clare's story. I'm sure Aeon would be interested in it, seeing as he is sort of like Clare. Maybe hearing her story will make sure that Aeon doesn't turn against us, but I know he wouldn't, he has helped too much to do that now.
Clare took a seat near the entrance to the cave looking out the the outside, which was getting brighter and brighter as times goes on. We haven't known Clare for very long but I see her as a friend, a good friend. She has been through more than Sora and she is just kind. I hope that she sees me as a friend as well.
It wasn't long until Sora started to wake up, shivering from the cold morning air. I rubbed up against his leg trying in some way to warm him up, but seeing as I'm so small and I didn't want to hurt him by jumping up on him made this task difficult. But he didn't matter as he brought his paw and rubbed my head as he opened his eyes and stared at me, smiling. "Morning Luna, is there a reason why you're doing that?".
"It was cold and... I wanted to try and make you warm", I responded. This only made Sora's smile grow as he pushed me against his leg and rubbed my back with his paw.
"Well thanks Luna. I appreciate it". Sora slowly stopped looking at me and gazed at Clare who was still sitting at the entrance to the cave, "Is she alright?", Sora asked.
I nodded in response, "She will be fine, we talked for a while. Maybe don't bring up the past today", I told Sora, it will be a good idea for Clare just to have a happy, fun day. No need of worrying about the past.
Sora seemed to grow happy again, "Sure Luna. I won't bring it up today, but if she is feeling down then we can cheer her up", he told me, my ears perked up from hearing this plan and I really wanted to do this, Clare needed cheering up and we will help her. But I have no idea how to do that, "Well, in any case we have to leave this cave today and try to find our way back to Pewter City to find Tom and the others.
Sora get's up and pats himself with his paw to get rid of any dirt or dust from his clothing, I still don't understand why humans have those. I joined Sora as we both walked to the the cave's entrance to meet up with Clare, "Morning Clare. You ready to head out?", Sora asked. Clare turned her head around and gave Sora a small smile, telling him that she is ready as we set off back into the forest.
As we walked through the forest the local pokemon talked between themselves. The wind blowing around the trees making this morning a cold one. We stopped by those berry bushes from yesterday and got something quick to eat before setting off again.
All of us mostly remained quiet, Sora and I didn't want to say anything to Clare just in case we made her sad again.
I've been trying to think of a way to cheer her up like Sora wants, I'm sure he's thinking of the same thing. She misses her past but she can't go back. Sora wants the same but I have been trying to push him to stay like this, maybe I should do the same with Clare. I should have like this, see this as good, sure she has been living like this for a year now but from what she tells us she hates it. Maybe I should show her what fun she can have like she is now! We could play and have fun!
I ran up to Clare and nudge her side getting her attention, "Hey Clare! Let's play!", I exclaimed. I took a quick glance behind me to see Sora and he was confused with what I was doing, but he soon figured it out as he smiled and nodded.
I turned my head and faced Clare, we continued to walk as we stared at each other, with the tilting her head to the side in confusion, "Play? Luna... I'm not a kid. I don't play", she told me, but my mind was made up already and I was determined to get her to play, to cheer her up.
"Come on Clare! Lets have fun! Lets play!", I kept insisting, walking into her, bumping her slightly, trying to get her to play. She wasn't having any of it as she just side stepped away from me. This only made me get more playful as I started to run around her as she and Sora stopped walking to watch me, "Play! Play! You know you want to!", I kept shouting.
As I ran around her Clare tried to keep her eyes on me and this only made her dizzy, "Luna... whoa... stop that!", she exclaimed. I could see it on her face, she was getting confused and dizzy, this only made me giggle as I kept going around her, faster and faster, "Luna... you want to be like that...", Clare was about to lose it and this is want I wanted to happen.
As I came around her this time I stuck my tongue out at her in front of her face and ran off. Clare snapped and sprinted off after me, "Just wait until I get you!". It seems that I finally got her to start playing, but I hope it's the playing I want her to be doing. Chasing me to have fun not to eat me. I will find out soon enough.
We ran through the forest at high speed. Dodging around trees and rocks, also the local pokemon we happen to run across. I was giggling the whole time as Clare just continued to shout out at me, she really wanted to take me down. When I peeked behind me for a split second, I can see her close behind me, with a small grin on her muzzle, she was enjoying this. Behind her and keeping up was Sora, also smiling and enjoying this.
Running for a short time like this can tire someone out, but we made it to a small clearing in the forest, this is where we stop. I skid to a halt and turn around to see a leaping Poochyena coming straight for me, with not enough time to move she flies straight into me and sends both of us into a tumble.
When we finally stopped our role, Clare stood on top of me. She was growling and showing her fangs. I knew she wouldn't hurt me, but I still have that feeling of fear that she would attack just because she has the advantage, and also I pised her off.
Beyond Clare I could see Sora run from the tree line, his eyes were wide open as he saw what Clare was doing. I he was about to yell something out but a fit of laughter stopped him. I looked back up to the poochyena ontop of me and she was laughing, it seems she enjoyed herself after all.
"That was fun! Let's do that again!", she loudly exclaimed as she giggled. This was my goal, to get her happy like this, to get her mind off the past and to get her to look at the future. If she wanted to play more then I'm quite happy to help. I tucked in my to back paws and pressed them against Clare's underside and kicked up sending her over the top of me and land on the ground, this allowed me to get up and get in a position to pounce on her. Clare got back to her four paws and stared at me, again with that pissed off look, "Hey! What was that-", she cut herself off as she saw me flying through the air and land on her. Now she was on the ground and I'm standing on top of her.
"You want to play, then let's play!", I told her as I got off her and ran a few eevee lengths away, stopping to face her again, my tail wagging furiously. Clare finally got up she too had her tail wagging.
"Bring it Eevee!", is all she said as she ran right for me. I ran to the side to dodge her as started to do laps around the clearing, playing another game of tag.
We played for many hours. We were supposed to be looking for a way back into town, to find the others, but instead we played until lunch time as Sora came back with some berries for us to eat. Clare and I had enough for a while now and we just laid there with no energy left.
"Lunch is served!", Sora called out as he placed some berries on the ground in front. He has gotten used that paw of his really well. Since he can't use his hand anymore he used that sling of his to put the berries in so he could hold them. For a human he's smart, but that's what I expect from my future mate.
Clare and I didn't wait to eat as we stuck our faces into the pile of berries, I could eat five bowls of pokefood right now, but the berries are better anyway. As we ate I just thought about the fun I had playing with Clare. I didn't have another pokemon to play with like that back at home. I had Coal but he wasn't much of the playing type, nor could he keep up with me. Clare was really the only pokemon I had this much fun with.
I mean, after this all started happening and we made new friends like Dash and Pulse, I had so much fun playing! Even Coal joined in at time, though since he evolved he hasn't played with us but only watch us, either to make sure we don't hurt each other or to protect us from others. Dash and Pulse are younger than I am and they love to play and play pranks. I do find it silly that wear those weird clothes that Sora got them. Maybe they enjoy being like Sora or something I don't know.
But they don't come close to Clare. She is sort of like me only slightly taller, same energy, same speed. It's like I'm playing with another me. I can see that she enjoyed it too, Since she changed I doubt that she even played or had fun, only moping about the past. While she is with us I'm going to make sure she has all the fun she can get! I will treat her like a sister since I didn't have any with me when I grew up.
As we finished eating the berries we sat there a little while longer to talk, Sora was the one to break the ice, "So you two have fun?", he asked with a smirk on his face, he obviously enjoyed watching us play. If he changed already I'm sure he would've joined in, maybe he wanted to join in now but thought it best not to. If he did think this then I'm determined in the future to get him involved in some of our games before he changes.
Clare and I had big grins that pretty much answered his question, but I thought it best to answer anyway, "Yeah! It was great!", is what I said and Clare kindly added on for me.
"That was some of the most fun I've had since I changed!", she turned to look at me, smiling the whole time, "Thanks Luna". When she brought up that she changed I expected her to be sad again, but she didn't, not even the slight frown, instead she was thanking me for getting her to play. As she should, that tired me out big time.
"No problem! We can play more later!", I exclaimed, I look forward to the time where we can play more. It will be like two sisters playing. She might think that, but I do.
"I would love that!", she answered back. We're both now staring at Sora, and from both of us staring, it was making him nervous. He doesn't know if we're going to prank him or just talk. Either way the look on his face is hilarious.
"Um... why are you two staring at me?", he finally asked. To be honest I did have a reason why I was staring at him, it was from my thought before. Did he really want to join in on our game? I need to know so I can get him to join in next time.
If it wasn't weird enough that both Clare and I were staring at him, we both asked the same question, "Did you want to play as well?". Clare and I both quickly turned our heads to stare at eachother in shock. Did we really just say the same thing? "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?", again we both asked at the same time. Now this was getting weird and somewhat scary. I think she would make a great sister but I didn't want this, "Stop repeating me! Stop it! Stop! You're scaring me! Pokemon say what? Ahh!", now this was really starting to scare me, we kept saying the same thing. We couldn't stop and this is when Sora stepped in to stop it, but it wasn't from breaking it up with was from his loud laughter which broke our weird, scary talk.
We both turned to see Sora laughing his head off. I guess he didn't play like us so he still has a lot of energy and wanted fun, but do we need to be the reason? "You guys... please, say more!", he demanded which he wasn't going to get anymore from me, I'm scared as it is. Both clare and I looked away from him and each other, letting out a puff of frustration, "Aw, come on! Don't be like that.", Sora kept trying to get us to say the same thing again but I'm not going to do it, I had enough. Sora sighed and finally gave up on trying to make this happen, "Fine... I guess we should get going, it's going to get dark soon and I want to try and get to town before then", Sora stood up and dust himself off again before walking off into the forest, "Come on you two!", he called out.
Clare and I just stared at him going further and further into the forest before looking at each other again, "What we did should never be repeated, understand?", I told Clare.
"Understood. No more... scary double voice", she responded which only made me giggle, she joined in before suddenly stopping with a confused expression, "Wait, he didn't answer out question!", she blurted out suddenly.
Upon hearing this I realized it as well and frowned, "He didn't!", just like before we both got up at the same time and ran to where Sora went, both of us yelling out, "Sora! Stop! You're avoiding our question!".
It was getting dark now, the clouds getting harder to see and the stars coming back out. Sora never answered our question no matter how much we bugged him and the last few hours have been quiet, except for the times where me and Clare played with each other as we walked.
This time when Clare and I were running around Sora suddenly stopped walking and perked his ears up, this made me stop when I realized he wasn't next to us anymore, "Sora? What's is it?", I asked, this finally made Clare stop and she too stared at Sora with his blank expression.
Sora finally did something when he shook his head and got down to the ground, "You two be quiet now", he told us. This only led to more confusion and Clare and I looked at eachother then back at Sora, this finally made him speak up, "Team Horizon are nearby. So stay quiet and follow me". Sora slowly walked into the bushes as we followed him.
I don't know how Sora is able to sense these things. It was like that time when I was training and Sora run into the forest. That was the day that before he got sick from the two humans and that pokemon. With more and more that changes it seems like Sora is going to be a strong pokemon, that's good when you become a dad, but I shouldn't think about that now and I should focus on the danger now.
Sora finally led us to a rather large tree and he hugged up to it to hid behind it, Clare and I were small so we just stayed low near some bushes. Sora peeked around the tree and frowned at what he saw. His yellow rings on his body start to glow, "It's them...", he mumbled.
I wanted to see what was going so I peeked under the bush and stuck my face out a bit to see them. It was about six of them standing in a line with another one wearing a large cloak to hide his body and face. A seventh grunt ran out of the tree line and got in line with the others, once this happened the cloaked human spoke.
"It's been a few days now and still nothing! This kid managed to get away from that pokemon hunter but not us! Explain to me why you have found nothing?", He walked to stand in front of one of the grunts. I could see that they were shaking in fear. From the tone of that human's voice I could hear it was a male, but there was something different about it him, but I couldn't put my paw on it.
"W-well you see sir. The kid is part poke-", The grunt was suddenly cut short with the cloaked man bring his hand to the grunts neck and lifted him off the ground. This shocked me and I'm sure everyone else. I never thought they would hurt each other. But from what I could see his hand was different. It was more claw like than a hand, what was this human.
"He is part pokemon? Well...", the cloaked man dropped the grunt and let him get some air, but that was all for naught. Suddenly a blade rips through the cloak sleeve and he brings it and cuts the man's throat, he tried to cover it up with his hand but it didn't work as the red liquid spilled all over the ground. The other grunts backed off from the dying man and the human in the cloak, all shaking in fear.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. A human dying before my eyes, it was dark but it was light enough to see what was going on, and I wish I wasn't watching. The blood spilled everywhere as the man fell face first into the dirt, twitching and gasping for air before finally it was over. The grunt laid dead in the clearing, the pool of blood still expanding. I think I could've hurled my lunch but I resisted since I didn't want to be next.
The human in the cloak brought the blade back in and looked around at the others, "Return to base! All of you! We will wait until he appears on the news to move in", he told them, and without hesitation they all ran back into the woods alone with the cloaked human behind them, laughing and letting out a slight noise which was, "...Grovyle...", I didn't know what that meant but all I know is that I want to never see him again.
I backed out of the bush and saw everyone else. Sora was sitting down on the floor stunned at the sight we just watched, and Clare wasn't really that fazed but still was saddened, I'm sure she's seen worse. I was trying to hold myself together, but this was a hard feat to do as my head started to feel light, "S-sora... I... don't feel so good...", I slowly mumbled out. Sora turned his head and saw me slowly walk side to said, trying to keep my balance as everything around me went dark and I collapsed.
I woke up in a bright white room which seemed to go on forever. Nothing was around me, just me and the colour white.
"H-hello!?", I called out, but got no answer, "Hello!? Anyone there!?", I tried again but this time I got a response, it wasn't someone calling back to me but just the sounds of giggling. This scared me and also intrigued me. I couldn't find the source of the giggling but it sounded like a kid, it wasn't long before the giggling stopped and a voice replaced it.
"Humans are strange, aren't they?", it asked me, the voice differently soundling like a kid.
"Who's there?!", I called out only to get more giggling in response.
"I'm not important in this little story of yours, not yet anyway", the told me. I haven't heard anyone like this before, am I dreaming? "Yes and no", The voice answered my question without me having to even say it. I was getting this new voice. It knows what I'm thinking and I still can't see it.
"Aww... don't be scared! I only want to talk".
"T-talk about what?", I asked while taking a seat, since there's nowhere to go and I doubt I could run from this voice anyway.
"Oh many things. I just wanted to meet you really. It's a shame with what's happening to that poor Eevee", it said, I still can't figure out if it's a boy or girl, but from the high pitch voice I'm just going to call it a her.
"What Eevee?", I asked. I'm the only eevee here and nothing is happening to me.
"Uh... that Sora. Poor Eevee been though to much already", this she just call Sora an Eevee? He's human turning into a Umbreon, not Eevee.
"Um... Sora isn't a Eevee, his human, turning into a Umbreon", I told the voice in the sky, I was responded with with more giggles.
"Aww... poor Luna. You will learn the truth in time", she responded. What does that mean? Learn in time? What will I learn? Something about Sora and a Eevee? That doesn't make much sense, but before I could ask a question she continued, "Humans think they can play Arceus. Change and mess with the pokemon world. They will soon learn, and that Eevee will make them pay".
"What Eevee!? What are you on about!?", I screamed out, but again just got giggles.
"I only wanted to meet you anyway. good luck Luna, and we will talk again", I couldn't ask anymore questions and scream out or move, my body felt limp and I fell to the ground with my eyes going heavy, it wasn't long before everything went dark and I went into a slumber.
Not as long as I would like but it's what I can do right now.
So this Chapter was from Luna's point of view involving her and Clare more than her and Sora. I wanted to get Clare more involved with the story.
Who was that man in the cloak that killed that grunt. Weren't expecting that were you? I would like to hear what you think is going on.
Who was that voice talking to Luna in her sleep, and what was it on about. Many different things going on here.
Next chapter will... well, I don't really know. That's how much I'm falling behind because of other things. So please don't yell at me, I will get the chapters done, it will just take a while. Paws and keyboards don't mix.
