The Protector
Chapter 5
Meanwhile at Casey's house
"Casey come down for dinner" I heard my mother Vanessa call to me. "I'll be down in a minute" I cried from my bedroom.
"Casey listen to your mother" I heard my father Allen say to me from downstairs. I didn't know that he was home yet. I hadn't explained to him that I sent Jada away earlier today after my match. All I can do is hope that they don't notice her absence at dinner tonight.
I came downstairs in my normal attire, a tank top with a pair of jeans and my hair in a pony tail. I walked into the dinning room to see my mother setting plates for our meal. She filled a bowl with pokemon food for Jada, great. We all sat in our seats with my dad sitting at the head of the table. The usual family small talk began as my father inquired about my mother's day. My mother replied to him and I assumed that Jada's absence had gone unnoticed.
My mother turned to me and asked "Where is Jada and why isn't she eating her dinner?" My father looked up from his plate noticing that the fox pokemon wasn't in the room eating. He quickly looked at me and waited for me to answer.
I thought quickly and finally said "We had a tough loss today and she wanted to be alone for a while. I will take her food to her."
"Nonsense" my father spoke up, "what she needs is to be around friendly faces and warm hearts. Bring her down here and feed her."
'Well its now or never' I thought to myself. "I didn't want to be her trainer anymore so I sent her away" I said.
"You did what?" my father said in a tone that wasn't a shout but it was above normal talking volume.
"I sent her away" I repeated to him.
A look of anger and disappointment settled on my dad's face as he scolded me. "First thing tomorrow you are going to go out and look for her. She is probably wondering around alone, scared, and hungry. She could even be in danger."
I looked at him and in a condescending tone replied "She can take care of herself, what would you know about pokemon anyway? You were never even a trainer."
My mother stood up and yelled at me, "Don't talk to your father that way! You may be 16 but you still have a lot to learn about pokemon and being more responsible. Go to your room. Tomorrow you will go and look for her."
I went upstairs to my room and began thinking about Jada. 'I'm sure she is fine out on her own.' Although a piece of me did miss her dearly and I did wonder if she could possibly be in danger. I would start my search in the morning near where I sent her away. I hope she found a good place to sleep for the night. I continued to think about the fate of my Braixen until I fell asleep.
At dawn I woke up and ate my breakfast. I headed out the door to start my search for my friend hoping that she would have the heart to forgive me when I found her, if I found her.
That last thought chilled me to my bones as I started my search.
Sorry for the short chapter but this filler information is needed. I couldn't add some of the next chapter in either because there is no good stopping point so the next chapter will be pretty long. I hope you are enjoying the story, feel free to leave a review.
