Espeon's perspective
"My gosh!" I yelled at Umbreon. "You could have gotten us all discovered if Sylveon and I hadn't been there!" In truth, I was mad at him. But I was also relieved that he wasn't hurt. My dad and I agreed that he needed to learn how to control his glow before he could start school again. I had a feeling that my dad was acting like a father to Umbreon. But then he reminded me that Umbreon's father was drunk and could not care for an Eon properly. It was true. Umbreon's dad's only tie to the World of Magi was Umbreon's dead mom and Umbreon himself. We walked to the warehouse while arguing.
"Not my fault my school decides what we do and I'm a freak to the humans." He retorted.
"You talk as if you aren't human. You are half human by the way which makes you the best of both worlds. Never in history has a half Magi kid been born and survived the first day. It may be because you were taken to the World of Man the very minute you were born or because you were an Eon. It may have been that they took you to the World of Man because you were an Eon. Inexperienced human children can not survive in the World of Magi." I told him. I seem to lose my shyness when ever Umbeon's around.
"What do you mean inexperienced?" He asked.
"She means humans that have not been touched by Magi magic." Sylveon spoke up.
"If you protect humans, then why do they not know about you?" He asked. His question was hard to answer but I knew it anyway.
"The last Eons. Their final battle destroyed a city and the humans killed them. They thought that they no longer existed. No. We are more advanced and know how to disguise ourselves."
"Cloaking?"
"No. Cloaking completely hides the magic part in Magi. We use glamour. It gives us a mask but other Magi can see us for who we are whereas cloaking can disguise you from other Magi. My dad could have passed you many times and never see your Eon part."
"Okay. Look, I'm sorry. I tried to get out in time but it wasn't possible." I could hear the sincerity in his voice. We reached the warehouse. I could see something in Umbreon's eyes. I think it was love but I didn't want to jump to foolish conclusions. I opened the doors.
"Hey guys?" Espeon called out.
A girl with light blue hair and a blue sundress with snowflakes came down the stairs. "Espeon." She said.
"Glaceon? What's going on?" Espeon said.
"It's Eevee. She's getting worse." She ran back up the stairs and we followed her. In the attic The rest of the group were crowded around a small spot. I pushed my way through and saw my fourteen year old little sister shaking violently and clutching her head. Her hair was light brown and her jacket was black. Her shirt was cream colored and her tutu was brown with a cream colored petticoat. She was barefooted.
I looked at her with concern. She lifted her head up and sprung into rhymes. "There is a traitor in the mist, I've seen it, felt it, I warn you, don't lose your grit, Build the teamwork that is due, do ya get the gist?" She smiled her creepy smile.
"A traitor?" Flareon said. Her blonde hair lit ablaze with anger. Her short-shorts were ripped and frayed. She wore a black tank top and her fire red leather vest covered her back. "It's Umbreon I swear! Why else would he show up and then Eevee starts talking about traitors?!"
"No!" I yelled. "He's an Eon! He wouldn't think about doing that!"
"54, 1961. Remember these. Or life will crumble like stale cheese." Eevee said with her eyes staring straight at mine. She was hiding something. I walked out of the room wishing not to bear the pain of knowing my sister may never be sane again. I heard the door open and Vaporeon coming swiftly and soundlessly down the stairs. She was the only one who could flow like that.
"Espeon? Are you okay?" She asked.
"No. Two things happened today that put me in an uneasy state. It's my eighteenth birthday and I wish that I could've had a normal birthday. Getting gifts, going out to eat, cake. But no. We had to work on my birthday." I turned on my heel and ran to my room.
I was in my room for an hour after my brief chat with Vaporeon. I heard a knock on my door and I said, "Enter." Umbreon entered my room as I braided my long pink hair into two braids.
"Hey. I have a surprise for you. Will you follow me?" He asked.
I finished braiding my hair and stood up. "Where are we going?"
"The roof garden." He answered. The roof garden was a place where my father had planted flowers for each Eon. There was also a tree grove. In the tallest tree had a tree house. Umbreon climbed the rope ladder and held onto my hand. His marks lit up. When I reached the top, I saw a picnic blanket with a cupcake on it. The cupcake had a candle in it. "Happy birthday."
"Did you hear my conversation with Vaporeon, didn't you?" I asked.
"Yep. Not in the creepy stalker way." He held his hands up.
I took the cupcake in my hand and blew out the candle. I pulled the candle out and took a bite. Chocolate. I love chocolate. "I love it!" I told him. He smiled.
"I made it. I'm glad you like it."
The sun was starting to set.
"We should go." Umbreon said.
"I know." I wish I didn't have to go. He started down the ladder and I followed. On one of the lower bars my foot got stuck. I fell but Umbreon caught me. He cradled me in his arms. His head moved towards mine. The next thing I felt was his lips on mine. I was standing on my feet. Umbreon wrapped his arms around my waist. I put my hands on the back of his neck.
He separated from me and said, "I loved that. But we really do need to go." So I followed him down to the warehouse main floor. He left quickly and carefully and my life could not have been any better than I felt right then.
