~ *Sylveon

I felt overwhemled and clenched my head close as memories began to furiously fill up my mind. It was my life being seen right before my eyes in seconds.

"Stop it!!! It's too much!!! Please stop!!"

So intense it began to envelop me into darkness until I could not see or feel no more.

"Where am I? I see-"

A light suddenly appeared before me. But when I looked at it, it began to fade right before my eyes.

"No! Wait! Don't leave me alone! Come back!"

But before I could even grasp it I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder.

"AAHHHHHH!!!!"

I fell on floor covering my neck suddenly feeling very weak from the pain.

"Ugh...Koff! Koff!"

When I looked at my paw I flinched back in terror at the sight of so much blood.

"Ack...Kofff...Koff..."

I began to sweat from the unbearable pain. I felt my neck go sticky from the combination of salt and blood.

I looked up to see the floating ball approach me. But I felt too weak to try to touch it again.

Once it spoke all my fears vanished. It sounded warm and friendly. Like the voice of a mother.

"Sylveon..."

"W-what do you want?"

"You to get well again. Survive and live on. "

"I'm not afraid to die. Nobody will really miss me anyways. Isn't that why you're here, to help me let go?"

"Your cards have not stopped playing just yet. You must not give up."

"I stopped playing this game already. There's no way I'll survive. I know that much. So leave me alone, I know it's too late for me."

"Don't say that. There's still Pokemon waiting for you to get well again especially your friends. I know they will miss you if you just let yourself die. And if you just give up now you will never find out about something important if you just give up living."

"Like what?"

"By making your life great. Living it to the fullest and finding some meaning. Encounter hardships and overcome any and all obstacles with your friends by your side. And above all be there for the one who needs you the most."

"Who is that?"

"You'll find out someday. But just remember your heart is your guide to finding thee who depends on thee most. Until then just live and remember you will never be alone again..."

I stared at the light in surprise, as I realized what a fool I am for giving up on my life so fast. But before I could even thank it, the light began to fade all together.

"Wait don't leave! I want to know who needs me the most! Please tell me! Wait come back! Don't go!"

It ignored me and disappeared right before my eyes. I frantically searched around for anything to help me escape from the dark. I awkwardly groped around and felt nothing.

"How am I going to get back?"

"sylveon..."

"Huh?"

"Sylveon..."

"Who said that?"

"Sylveon."

"Eevee? Where are you?"

"I need you to come back to me. I don't know what I would do if you died. So please..."

Eevee paused for a second to wipe away her tears.

"I can't see anything! Eevee?! Where are you?"

"Wake up Sylveon and smile like you always do...That way I know you're okay..."

"Eevee I'm okay!! I'm close!!! Hold on!!"

"Sylveon...Come back..."

"I'm coming Eevee. Don't cry anymore."

Her silent sobs echoed throughout the darkness, urging me to get up and walk. No matter how much blood I lost I will wake up.

"Eevee..."

"Sylveon...Please come back...Please..."

"Eevee. Don't worry, I'm coming."

"Sylveon..."

"Stop crying. I'm right here."

"Sylveon...Please come back..."

"Eevee...Don't cry..."

"Sylveon..."

"Stop crying please Eevee...I'm..."

"Oh Sylveon..."

"Eevee..."

I could hardly stand listening her tears, and I desperately wanted to tell her I was okay.

"Syl...veon..."

I couldn't take it anymore, and just wanted to scream out of frustration.

"EEVEE!!! DON'T CRY!!! STOP!!!!"

My words shook the darkness it began to shatter like it was merely glass. I watched my surroundings crumble but was not prepared for the blinding light that enveloped me.

I felt myself fading away from this world. And began reconnecting back to Earth.

I felt warmth. Where was it coming from?

"Sylveon..."

I woke up to the sunlight pouring in through the window, temporarily blinding my vision.

I felt something move and turned to see a blury figure leaning their head on top of me. I strained to see who it was but had to give up when I felt a sharp pain on my neck again. When I touched my neck I felt no blood and saw a secure bandage tied around my shoulder blade and neck.

I turned back to the figure and my eyes began to regain it's focus as did my hearing. When it came back altogether I smiled at seeing who it was.

"Hey...Eevee..."

"S-Sylveon?!"

Eevee looked up at me with small bags under her eyes and bright red eyes still wet from her tears.

"You okay-"

"Sylveon!"

Eevee tackled me with a hug but moved back when she heard me yelp in pain.

"Oh I'm sorry."

"I'm okay, but I can't get up to properly to hug you. I'm sorry."

Eevee looked at me in deep sadness and disappointment.

"Come here..."

I held out a weak paw to her and she almost immeadiately accepted it. I scooched over as much as I could before my body made me yelp again from too much movement.

She layed down beside me and began to cry. Her hot tears almost drenching my bandages.

"I'm so glad you're...okay...I missed you so much...And I didn't know what to think...or do...And..."

She couldn't finish as the sobs began to slowly overtake her.

"Hey hey hey...I'm okay Eevee. I'm okay. I'm sorry I worried you. Aww Eevee don't cry..."

I kept saying those things until my throat began to hurt. So I just lay there and rubbed her head until she started to quiet down.

"Eevee. Come on. Smile. It will make you feel better."

"I can't."

"You can do anything. Besides smiling is easy. Now come on and smile please. It will make me feel a lot better if you stop crying. What do you think, huh?"

"O-okay."

She moved her face for me to get a better look at it. But when she smiled it looked so forced I almost stopped smiling myself.

"Come on you can do better than that. Really...Try to smile please."

But no matter how hard she tried it just wasn't genuine enough. I almost wanted to cry myself.

So I started tickling her and she finally began to smile. She bursted out laughing that she nearly fell off the bed.

"Whoah! You okay there Eevee?"

"Hahahahaha!!! I can't help it!! I'm ticklish!!! I can't stop now!!! Eevui!! Eevui!! Eevui!!! Hahahahahaha!!!"

I smiled as I watched her laugh to her hearts content. But it faded when I saw someone in the bed opposite us beginnning to stir.

"Uh Eevee? I think you should stop now..."

"That's your fault!!! I can't stop now!! Hahahahahaha!!!"

I turned back to the other Pokemon waking up. I was about to apologize when I flinched back to see who it was.

"Oh hey Sylveon...Why is Eevee laughing?"

I immeadiately put a protective arm around Eevee.

"Eevee. What is Ryu doing here?!"

"Oh umm..."

"What's up?"

"Seriously? You want to know what's up? You nearly killed us!! Eevee explain why he is here right now!"

"Alright. I'll tell you. But no questions until after I finish okay."

"Okay. Tell me."

This had better be good.
