Wow, sorry for not updating recently. I've been grounded for doing.. bad things. You know, starts with a d and ends with rinking. ANYWAY! I finally managed to get this chapter up. This was a toughy to write. Had to rewrite this like 3 times. Like always, review, review, review! Thanks for reading guys!

"What?!" Kera and I said simultaneously.

"Yeah, he's the one all right." Droplet declared, nuzzling up to Razor.

"Yeah... well, can I pass out now?" I asked, tilting my head.

"Go for it." Droplet stated, and I felt Kera curl up next to me before I passed out.

--

I woke up as I usually did, Kera nudging me and smiling when my eyes opened from my slumber. I stretched and groomed myself. I started to stretch and groom myself, as usual. Kera looked up at me, and I looked down at her. I turned to see Razor and Droplet sleeping and suddenly I felt like I had to say something...

"Do you want to be my mate?"

I froze for a second.

"D-Did I just say that?" My eyes were wide in shock, and I was sweating uncontrollably. The pain in my gut was killing me, and just when I thought I was about to pass out, she answered.

"Yes." she stated, and she kissed me. I wasn't sure how to react for a moment. I didn't hate it, in fact, it felt really good, but Droplet and Razor rolling around on the ground laughing kind of ruined the moment. I guess they had woken up just in time.

"Aw, looks like I was right, you two are mates!" Droplet said in between laughs, and I growled. A few minutes later the laughing subsided and I asked another important question.

"We're leaving. Are you coming with us?" I asked seriously. There was an awkward silence before Droplet elbowed Razor.

"Ow- uh, yeah. We're going with you." he declared, looking the other way with a disappointed look on his face. Droplet nodded in agreement, and I turned, looking into the forest. I turned my head and hesitated a moment, thinking about the dream I had the day before. Was it true? Did Blake take my family away from me? I shook off the thoughts and looked back into the forest confidently.

"We're going to find you Blake." I thought to myself before we began our venture and walked into the forest.

It seemed like we had been walking for days. My feet were sore, and had a large frown on my face. I turned my head to see everyone else completely fine, Kera skipping around with a smile on her face. Droplet was rubbing up against Razor. We were in an unnameable forest. It was the average looking forest. Trees, trees, and more trees. The occasional Wurmple slithered by, scared of Razor's intimidating glare. I decided to break the silence with a question, because I needed something to distract me from my aching feet.

"Where were you before you came back to your clearing, Razor?"

"That's none of your concern." he stated solemnly, and winced when Droplet punched him in the stomach.

"Er- I mean, I was visiting my family." he said with a fake smile. Kera winced at the word 'family', and I trotted over to her and licked her cheek.

"We'll find them, I promise." I whispered in her ear. She perked up immediately and rubbed my side. We continued walking for another few minutes, until a white blur shot out from what seemed like nowhere. An Absol stood where it ended. He stood at about I immediately got in an offensive position and jumped at the Absol. He disappeared and reappeared a few feet away from where he was before.

"Stop, I'm not trying to fight you!" he pleaded, interrupted by a Quick Attack to the side by none other than me. He flew a few feet into a nearby tree and fell on his side.

"Sure, and we're supposed to trust you... why? On top of me not believing you, I don't exactly have a good history with Absol." I growled, and the Absol stood up.

"Typical. Not only does my father ruin my life, he ruins both yours and your mates." he looked down with a disappointed look on his face.

"Father?" Kera's ears perked up.

"That bastard Scar is your father?" I questioned. I was stunned, and almost let my gaurd down. I shook it off and continued to glare at the Absol.

"Yes, unfortunately." the Absol smiled. He wanted something. He wouldn't be acting so cheery if he didn't.

"What do you want from us?" I demanded, growling slightly.

"I, uh, well, you know," the Absol sighed before continuing, "I want to join your group."

"...That's all? No 'I want to kill you!'?" I asked, disappointed.

"Nope."

"Oh, how about, 'I want to slice you into pieces with my bare claws'?"

"That's the same thing as wanting to kill you, and no."

"Whatever..." I said, and turned my head. He seemed trustworthy, but looks can be deceiving. I turned my head to the rest of the group. Kera and Droplet nodded, while Razor shook his head no. Droplet realized and punched him, causing him to nod as well. I sighed, and turned back to the Absol who looked eager.

"Eh, sure whatever," I sighed again, and continued, "what's your name anyway?"

I glared at him for a second, and he zoned out and looked up a second before speaking.

"Teir. My name is Teir."

Woah, an Absol? Scar's son too! Does this mean that some Absol are extremely awesome?! I think so. I'll be putting up a poll on my profile soon. It'll be about a specific Pokemon. I'll give you guys a hint: its name starts with 'A' and ends with 'bsol'. Thanks for reading guys!
