2 chapters in one day? I'm on a roll. In the point of view of Saph, our favorite little Eevee.

It was pitch-black darkness when I awoke. I didn't know what or why, but something didn't feel right. I walked over to Kera's bed and nudged her awake. She grumbled about needing 5 more minutes until I splashed water from the river on her.
"What?!" she yelled in a whisper. I must've looked very scared because immediately after she apologized and a asked in a nicer tone.
"I don't know, I woke up and just didn't feel right." I mumbled, looking down ashamed of being so scared over nothing. She pat me on the back.
"Let's go get my dad." she smiled cheerfully before walking to the other side of the clearing. I looked at the bed, but saw no one there. There was no sign of anyone even sleeping on the bed. This only scared me more, and now Kera was starting to get fearful too. I tried to act confident.
"I guess they went out to get some food. You know Umbreons, they're night people." I fake-smiled trying to calm Kera down. It succeeded for her, but I only wish it did for me.
"You're right! Let's go look for them!" she said cheerfully, as she walked into the trees. I followed right next to her, but I really, really wanted to stay at the clearing. I stopped her when I heard voices to the left of us. I told her to be quiet and motioned for her to follow us. We silently snuck in between two bushes, and had a perfect view of what was going on. An Absol had confronted Blake and Krystal. It had a scar going down his right eye, and the top of his horn was covered in, what looked to be, blood. I shuddered and continued looking. They were having what looked to be a stare-down until Blake broke the silence.
"I've thought it over. I refuse." he stated calmly, still holding eye contact with the Absol.
"Really now?" the Absol said in a smug tone with a sadistic smile on his face.
"Yes. Really. Now get out of our territory, Scar." Krystal demanded, a bit of a scowl coming soon after.
"Fine, but are you sure you understand the consequences of your choice?" Scar still had that creepy smile plastered on his face, and I really wanted to go back to the clearing. I looked over at Kera's reaction to all this and it looked like she was about to start crying. I put a hand on her back and pulled her closer to me reassuringly.
"I'll count to 3. If you aren't out of here by the time I get there, I'll kill you. Understand?" Blake was starting to scare me, his voice was so cold and emotionless. Nothing like the Blake I knew.
"I don't think you understand who's in contr-" Scar was cut off.
"1."
"Cute game Blake, but I won't be going anywhe-"
"2."
He scowled, defeated, and turned around walking away from our clearing. Soon after he left, Kera and I made our way back to the clearing. Soon after we got there Kera was asleep, obviously content with the way things turned out. I, however, was thinking about what had happened. The Absol wanted something, and something told me he wasn't going to just give it up so easily. I pushed the thoughts out of my mind, and allowed myself to drift into a peaceful sleep.

I was in a black room. I didn't know where I was, or how I got here. I looked around cautiously, trying to sense another persons presence.
"Hello Saph." a voice boomed. It was raspy, and very threatening. I backed up to a wall, looking at the darkness in front of me. Trying to find the person who spoke.
"Wh-Who are you?!" I yelled, trying to sound a little brave.
"Haha, lets not be hasty. You will know me when the time has come."
"What do you w-want with me?"
"Power." the word echoed across the room, over and over again. I started shaking and there was a bright light.

I woke up screaming, Kera shaking me awake.
"Are you okay?" she looked worried, and I was starting to feel really stupid. That's weird... why would I feel stupid?
"Yeah..I'm fine..." I mumbled, walking over to the river to groom myself. That's weird... when did I care about how I looked?
"Let's go play!" she yelled, running through the bushes. I bounded after her as we chased each other around.
Today looked like it was going to be a good day.
