Sorry I haven't uploaded in a while. I'm going through a big case of writer's block. Thx for reading! ;)
Umbreon's perspective
I had school today and I was afraid that someone might have remembered my glowing rings. That Sylveon's spell might not have reached every one. My assumption was correct. Ri knew that I wasn't normal. I walked into the building with my head low. I walked to the corner hoping no one would see me. But no, Ri was always one step ahead of me.
He popped up in front of me. "Hey. What'cha doin'?"
"Um, n-nothing." I stuttered.
"Where's your girlfriend?" He continued.
"Sick. She's s-sick." I stuttered again. "She's not my girlfriend." I mumbled under my breath.
"Sick huh? That doesn't explain why your marks glowed. Are you a robot? A cyborg?" Ri checked my arms and my forehead. I pushed him away.
"Leave me alone. You know what? I'm not in the mood for school." I ran out the doors of the school. I ran as if a t-rex was chasing me. When I reached the warehouse, I yelled, "Espeon?! Are you home?"
She came running down the stairs. "Why aren't you at school?" She asked.
"Sylveon's spell didn't work on everyone. My friend Ri still knew about my oddity." I sulked. "Why didn't you show up?"
"It's my dad's birthday. Oh and guess what?"
"What?"
"There's a solar eclipse this afternoon!" She squealed. "We are at full strength today! Or maybe that's a lunar eclipse. One of the eclipses gives us power... the other will knock us unconscious." She shrugged.
"Oookaay." I said. I followed her to the living room where all of her family was sitting. Eevee was the only person missing. "Happy birthday Mr. Eon."
"Thank you Umbreon. Are you aware of the solar eclipse tonight?" He asked.
"Yes. Will both my marks and her gem glow?" I asked in fear.
"Yep. We will be watching from the greenhouse so no one should see it."
"Good. I wish to remain unnoticed." Espeon commented.
"How come only Espeon and Umbreon glow?" Sylveon asked.
"They are the Leaders Sylveon. They have the Sun and Moon. They are more powerful than us." Flareon growled.
"You've always been jealous of me Flareon." Espeon said.
"Yeah! So what? Dad always said jealousy is just a reminder of your future goals." Flareon was seething.
"Flareon! You will never be a lead Eon! Don't consider it a goal! So just drop it!" Eon yelled.
Flareon sat down.
We waited for a few hours. We watched tv. It was hard to believe that Espeon had never watched tv. She flipped to a channel that had the Care Bears playing. I quickly changed the channel.
Eon came in and said. "Everything's prepared. Protective sunglasses, and... Nah, I think that's about it." Everyone giggled or laughed. We all went upstairs to the greenhouse and sat down. The eclipse was magnificent! My marks and Espeon's gem started to glow. But they got brighter. Espeon cried out in pain and collapsed on the ground.
"Espeon?" I yelled. A second later I screamed in pain and I fell down too.
I woke up to see myself sitting in a room with a big control panel. (I had no idea what it was.) Espeon was lying next to me. She too jerked awake. "Umbreon?"
"I'm right here." I reached out to her.
"What happened?" She asked. I could tell she was shaking.
"It was the eclipse. You said one would give us power or the other would knock us out!" I hugged her tightly.
"I think I figured out the riddle from Eevee." Espeon said. "She said 54 and 1961. 54 is an age. 1961 is a year. My father! He was born in 1961 and he's 54! It all adds up!"
"That's great Espeon!" She rested her head on my shoulder. I suddenly felt angry. Angry at Espeon, the Eons, and the world.
