We're continuing where we left off last chapter, which was right about...

"Blake?!"
I blinked, checking to make sure it wasn't just my imagination. The Umbreon stood tall, larger than most Umbreon, and towering over Psy. He was snarling, and his amethyst eyes looked like they were about to shoot lasers. Basically, he had pissed off written all over him. Kera was crouching behind me, scared of her fathers behavior. Teir was in a nearby bush, whimpering at the sight of Blake. Razor and Droplet watched almost no emotion, although I could tell by the look on their face that they were uncomfortable. Psy had a look of shock in his face, but got rid of it as quickly as it came.
"You look a little tense, Blakey. Then again, having your mate killed before your eyes can do that, can't it?" Psy laughed, and Kera whimpered, I licked her and rubbed up against her before a piercing scream brought me back to the conversation. I flinched when I saw what had happened. Nothing was left of Psy. Only a gem remained, sparkling in the ashes of, what I assumed to be, the Espeon. Blake turned and gave me a glare. I shuddered as he looked me up and down, before shooting an immense Shadow Ball at me. The ball was too large to dodge, and hit me in the chest, sending me flying, stopped by a branch from a nearby tree. I grunted, and looked up at Blake. He was standing before me, his claw raised in the air.
"What are you doing this for?" I questioned, getting a growl in reply.
"It's all your fault." he boomed, before bringing his paw down. I closed my eyes, waiting for the inevitable...
Only, it never came. I opened my eyes, seeing Blake with a wide-eyed look of fear on his face, looking to my right. I turned my head and saw Kera, with four deep gashes in her side, blood seeping out of the wounds. I froze. Everything was happening so slow. Kera suddenly stopped breathing. Blake turned around to run away, and I jumped at the Umbreon and brought my claws down upon his back. He whimpered in agony, and I snarled. He rolled onto his back and looked me in the eyes.
"I'm... sorry." he muttered, before passing out.
I slowly made my way over to Kera. Teir, Razor, and Droplet were already over there, looking down, ears drooping. Teir looked up at me and shook his head.
"I can save her." a soothing voice in my head said calmly.
"Anything." I thought to myself, hoping whatever it was would hear.
"Let me give you my power..." the voice changed from soothing to sadistic in seconds, and before I could stop it, it happened.
I felt a strange glowing sensation, and a whole new surge of power. It felt as though I was flying, and I could feel the stares coming from everyone around me. The glowing disappeared as quickly as it began, and I floated down from about a foot in the air. I walked over to Kera and focused all my energy around her, the white aura radiated from my body to her wounds, which sealed up almost immediately. A few tense seconds past before it happened.
"She's breathing!" Teir yelled in disbelief, although Razor and Droplet where to busy staring at me to notice.
"What are you staring at?" I asked calmly.
"Um, Saph..." Droplet motioned for me to follow her. She walked me to the river and pointed into the water. I looked down, and saw nothing.
"What I don't see anyth-" I cut my sentence short when I saw my reflection.
"What happened to me?" I thought to myself. My once jet black fur was now snow white, and my golden rings, were now black. The only thing I had retained was my sapphire eyes.
"It was all worth it to save Kera..." I thought to myself.

MEGA CLIFFY! Anyway, looks like Saph changed a bit this chapter. If you want a more detailed look at him, just look at my profile picture. Just try and keep in mind that his eyes are Sapphire, and not red. Anyway, sorry it was so short, I've had school work unfortunately. Thanks for reading, see ya later guys!
