Snow Blind

~~Sara's Family~~

"Please... wake up... Flaint..." who... who is that...

"Flaint... Please wake up... I can't stand... to see you like this." Who is that... it sounds... familiar...

"Flaint... I'm... I'm sorry... It's my fault you're like this..." I heard the voice say, it sounded familiar... but who was it... I feel compelled someway... what is this darkness...? What is this voice...?

I wandered these shadows looking for what, where and who I am... The only thing I see now is darkness... everything is... everything is consumed by darkness... but I have no memory of what is going on... I don't remember anything...

"Flaint... Flaint... I'm not giving up on you..." there is that voice again... where is it coming from...? Whose voice is it...? And who is Flaint... Flaint... it... that name... it's my name... my name is Flaint... that voice, it must be Sara.

"Sara where are you...? Sara...?" I looked around, beginning to realise everything... I must be dead... no I can't be, I don't want to be... I remember but it can't be...

I still wondered the darkness, wondering why I'm here. I still here her voice every while, calling to me... I still haven't found the exit but where ever it is... what... what is...? What's that up ahead...?

"Flaint... I can... I can't... wake up please, I need you and you need me... you're like the trees... and I'm like the sun... we need each other to go on..." I was following the voice; it was getting brighter as I followed it. When she stopped talking I was lost... the darkness spread its webs once again, consuming the light that I had found. Which way do I go now?

"Keep talking... Sara... I need to follow your voice..." I looked around for some signs... but it was too dark to see anything, the eternal night I wondered in never changed... I wished I could get out of here...

"Flaint... I can't bear to lose another love..." I heard her voice again, this time I managed to pin point the direction it was coming from. I followed the voice for as long as could, I was greeted by a flash of light before everything blacked out again.

"Flaint... I can't bear to lose another love..." I heard her cry, feeling her head on my stomach as I lay on my back. My eyes began squinting; the light that was entering the den's cave was hurting them. I covered them with my paw, trying to adjust to the blinding light before I fully opened them.

"Sa... Sara... where... where am… I...?" I managed. My body was aching, I didn't know why, it feels like I've been sleeping for years, but to my knowledge I've only been sleeping for a day.

"Flaint…?" I saw her look at me with relief and praise, "You're alive!" She blurted, diving onto me to give me a hug. I let out a small yelp as I felt her hit my leg. "I'm sorry," she apologised, rubbing her head into my body, "I'm just glad you're alive."

"Alive...? What do you mean...? I've only been sleeping for a day," I was curious on what she was talking about; the last thing I remember is that Houndoom and then nothing until now.

She looked at me oddly, "you've been out for at least two months," she stated pointing outside. I looked outside to see it wasn't snowing, no blizzard, just a sleet of snow. Have I really been asleep for two months? I was about to speak to her but my stomach got the better of me. "You must be starving Flaint, did you want me to fetch you some berries.

"If you would be so kind to," I replied, laying my head back down on the cushion I was laying on. She was so caring to me... I know she loves me... but it's me... I need to face my fear of love...

She walked outside of the den in look for some grub for both of us. I lay on my back still wondering if it was true. Had I been sleeping for two months? It seemed so as spring was around the corner by the looks of things. I just can't believe that I'm alive after two months... I must have been injured... no I remember being really cold then a blanked out of it. I hadn't notice till now that there was a little camp fire beside me warming up the cave. Sara must have made it to keep me as warm as possible to I didn't succumb to death.

"Sara..." I muttered under my breath, she must really love me to stick by me for two months. I guess I've finally found my mate for life... but I got to have the guts to tell her I love her. Though, from this point, I wonder why she chose me... there is a million other Pokémon out there and she chose me. I happy for it but I want to know why.

I glanced at the fir for a while, listening to the crackles of the twigs burning. The flame itself had entranced me, I lost track of time and before I knew it, I could hear Sara voice. She sounded she was in a much chirpier mood.

She skipped into the cave with berries in her mouth. She made her way to me and dropped the berries in front of me. I didn't know there was company until she lay next to me, and I didn't know whether they were intruders or friends. Though it's then I remembered she said she had brothers and sisters, because there stood an Espeon and Vaporeon. They sat down in front of us and just stared. It felt creepy with them just looking at me; I was kind of intimidated by them.

"Well... are you going to eat?" Sara directed. I listened to her and scoffed the berries down quickly as I was starving and I still felt hungry afterwards.

There were a couple of minutes of silence before the Vaporeon spoke. "Well... sis, are you going to introduce us?" the Espeon mentioned to Sara.

"Oh, sorry... where are my manners," she spoke, her ears swinging down, expressing her forgetfulness, "Flaint, this is my bro, Elan. Elan this is my... partner, Flaint."

"How do you do Flaint," Elan greeted as he was licking his paws. I just gave a nod as I was a little scared of meeting someone new, not thinking that I would ever have to go through this process.

Sara then moved on to her sister the Vaporeon, "This is Aqua. Aqua this is Flaint."

The Vaporeon had a smile on her face, "nice to meet you Flaint," Aqua cheered. The next few minutes were quite odd, I didn't like the presents of others, I just preferred the two of us.

The silence was broken by Elan, "So... are you coming back home...?" the Espeon asked.

Sara looked into my eyes, I could see she wanted to but she didn't want to leave me, nor did I want to leave her. "Only if Flaint can come with me," Sara stated, rubbing up against me. Did I want to go with her though? I didn't want to be a caught Pokémon, I wanted to be free and not live in those little red and white balls I've seen trainers with.

"We can see if Laura will be able to take another... but..." Elan stuttered. I wondered what she was going to say and who this Laura person is, though I assumed she was their owner. "Did you want to come with us Flaint? Do you want to live with us?" he added, staring at me curiously.

It's a question I can't seem to answer... I want to but I don't. I want to be with Sara, but did I want to be a captured Leafeon. I brought myself to a verdict, Sara was the only one who was ever nice to me, and seeing that she may be the only female I will ever trust in my life, I decided to go. Life as a captured Pokémon might be harsh if I battled, but as long as I was with her... I'd be happy. I looked at her with a smile, "I'll live with you..." but my voice didn't sound to reassuring on my decision.

Sara let out a cheer, standing up on all fours. "Thank you Flaint..." then she leant in close to my ears, "I have a surprise for you when we get there..." she whispered. I wondered what the surprise could be, I was eager to find out what this surprise was.

I managed to get myself onto my paws, swaying a little, because of not being on my legs for two months according to Sara. She used her body to support mine as I adjusted myself to stand properly.

"Maybe you two should stay here while we go and get Laura," I heard Aqua mention as I was still trying to focus on standing on my own. I looked at them as I saw them both nodding, then they looked at me. I was still struggling to stand, my legs wobbling and shaking non-stop. I went to take a step forward, but in doing so I collapsed forward. I let out a yip as I felt my right hind legs hit the ground hard.

"It may be better for you two to get her, she'll be able to heal his injured legs," Sara said. I couldn't see what was going on as my sight was blurred by water, and not mention, my eyes were stinging, forcing me to keep them shut.

After sever minutes I was able to open my eyes, the pain had subsided for now... Sara was still lying beside me. I could feel her tail swaying as it hit me every two seconds. She was extremely happy from what I could tell; she was going to see her trainer again. To me I wouldn't be happy to see a trainer if I was owned by one, but I thought maybe her trainer must be pretty nice if she missed her so much over the months.

From what she told me months ago, she had missed her trainer, her family as she called them. She wished she would see them, but I never thought to ask her how she got here. But, I don't think I should ask her now, I don't want to upset her in her blissful state.

"Sara... can you tell me what that surprise is?" I asked curiously, remembering she said something before about it.

"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you... would it?" I was more excited to get to find out what it was; she must have something back at her home that she wanted me to have.

The next few hours were quite lousy; there was nothing for us to do. We knew that Aqua and Elan wouldn't be back till tomorrow. Though that was really hard for me, I was thinking on what to expect from being a captured Pokémon. And Laura, I wondered if she was a kind trainer... it's now that I realised that I hadn't asked Sara on what her home was like. Though I couldn't ask her now, she was sleeping peacefully beside me, and I didn't want to wake her up.

It seemed to be nightfall, I presumed as it was dark when I looked outside the cave entrance, how late it was I didn't know. I hadn't been outside in ages to explore; I was stuck in this den as I was unable to walk. Seeing there was nothing else to do I decided to go to sleep myself, knowing tomorrow was going to be a big day for both of us... especially me...

"Lee... where are... n-n-no..." I began to reach my conscious state, after hearing Sara talk. I rubbed my eyes and looked to my side. I saw she was asleep, struggling and squirming. She seemed to be trembling in fear of something. It's then I noticed she was crying, her eyes were closed but tears fell of her closed eyes lids and splashed on the ground as she laid on her side towards me.

I got up to walk beside her; she must have rolled of the cushion during my slumber. I began nudging her to wake her up from her nightmare. She awoke and looked around, she was still crying. I think she didn't realise where she was as she took her time to stop shaking.

"Are you alright Sara?" I asked her, adjusting myself to sit on my haunches.

"Huh...? Oh Flaint... yeah, I'm... I'm fine..." She sniffled.

"You don't sound fine to me." I looked at her, my eyes linking to hers. I could see something inside that was troubling her. "What's on your mind?" I thought it may be stupid of me asking, but I was a little worried, and I was also curious to know who Lee was.

She turned her back to me, "I... I don't want to talk about him... I mean it..." she sobbed. I refrained from asking further questions about it, I didn't want to upset her and make her hate me. I walked up next to her and laid beside her, her back against me side. I placed my head on my paws, listening to her cry made me hurt inside. Her sobs slowly began to fade away into gentle and quiet breathing.

She had stopped crying, bringing me to the conclusion that she was asleep now. "Sara... are you awake?" I waited for an answer but wasn't given one, she must definitely be asleep. "Sara… I wish I could bring myself to tell you how I felt, but I'm too scared... I'm afraid you might reject me, even though you've been compassionate to me. I wish I could tell you face to face, instead of you sleeping… I love you so much... but I can't bring myself to tell you..." I erupted into tears, my love for her was great but I couldn't tell her.

I rubbed my head against her collar of yellow fur, in an affectionate way. I rolled onto my side letting out a sigh. I recovered from my crying and now I was just thinking. There is still a lot I don't know about her, and I don't want to ask her questions that might push her away from me. I wanted to know who Lee was for one thing, but also, how she knew that Houndoom. I got some ideas in my head but ideas weren't going to answer what I wanted to know.

My questions would have to wait for awhile, how long I do not know, but for now I was tired. I let out a yawn and looked outside, it was quite dark, almost pitch black. I decided for now to sleep, to gain energy for tomorrow, because I know I was going to need it.

I looked around at my surroundings, scared at what I was seeing. I wasn't in Sara's den as there was no hole or light getting into where I was now. I had just woken up to find myself in an unknown shelter. I moved my head around, looking at the wooden walls. I concluded that I must be in a house, but how did I get here?

I was continuing to look around, taking in all the sights. Several pictures in designed frames hung up on the wooden walls around the room; there was a huge rectangular shaped thing in the middle of the room. I think maybe it was one of those human beds I've slept on before when I was younger, but it looked different, this one was more colourful.

That's when I realised Sara wasn't here, I hadn't seen her in the room I was in. I looked around worriedly, "Sara..." I was panicking. I was lying on a small blue pillow in a basket made of woven hay. I began stretching my body, being careful not to start off my right hind leg. I slowly managed myself up and began limping over to the open door. I was struggling so and I slowly began to collapse to the ground, but I didn't hit it.

I was slowly lifted off the ground by some unknown cause, but I did fill something grab me that felt quite soft and smooth. I began squirming furiously when I saw it to be a human. "It's okay Flaint; she's going to help you." When I heard Sara's voice I stopped fighting against her as she held me in her arms against her chest. I looked up to see she had a smile on peachy coloured face, her shoulder length black hair still as I looked at her hazel eyes.

As I hung in her arms, she walked to a room with some odd light brown blocks placed along most of the walls. If I were to measure them they be around her waist, and she seemed to be at average heights for the humans I've ran across. The room's walls we painted a shiny black and the floor was white. She placed me on my side on the connecting green topped blocks and walked out the room, Sara and Aqua jumped up and sat beside me.

I looked at them with fear, "what's she going to do...?" I asked both of them, wanting to know why she placed me here.

Aqua was the one to answer my question, "Laura's going to help fix your injured leg." The human walked back into the room with some white rolled up material in her hand. She walked over to us and placed the material next to me.

She raised her hand to me and began patting me, I flinched every time she stroked but eventually got used to it. She moved her hand closer to my injured leg, "this may hurt a little, Flaint? But I have to pin point where it hurts," she explained. I felt scared again. I felt Sara rub against me; she could tell I was scared as my body was trembling. As she continued to comfort me my body relaxed. "Okay little guy, this is gonna hurt." I heard her say.

I noticed something in her hand that I didn't see before; she must have grabbed it when Sara was trying to calm me down. I felt her hand move up my leg slowly, trying to pin point the centre of what was causing my pain. Eventually she reached my joint and the pain began to start, she softly pushed it and I let out a small yip. She continued moving up my leg and as she tracked along between my knee joint and paw, I utter a piercing yelp.

She had found the source of my injury but now I was in tears. Laura placed that thing that was in her hand to my paw. I felt a cold sensation; it was good as it numbed the pain a little bit. After some seconds, she removed the icy packet from my leg, placing it next to me.

"I can't tell whether it's a serious injury," she stated, grabbing the roll of that material in her right hand. She unrolled it and slowly placed it near my injured leg. My first instinct would have been to attack, but Aqua said she was going to fix my leg. She slowly began rolling a lose strip around my long in continuous rotation, going up and down it. "It doesn't look to be swollen or broken for that matter. I'm assuming it might just be a strain in your muscles, and it may take some time for it to heal," Laura explained, soon enough my whole leg was wrapped up in white. "So I guess you better just relax and keep of It." she added, caressing my neck with her hands.

I began to purr at her touch, it was smooth and soft. "Thank you" I said, but I knew that humans didn't understand us. I was picked up again and soon enough I was in the room I woke up in. I was placed in that basket again. Sara and Aqua stood outside the basket and just watched. Laura gave me and Sara a pat on the head, Aqua got a little scratch under her chin. Then Laura walked out of the room leaving us alone.

After she walked out, I rolled onto my back, looking at my covered leg, inspecting what she had done. "What is this stuff called?" I said curiously, rubbing my nose softly against it.

"It's a bandage, usually used to keep injuries from becoming worse," I heard Sara say.

"So, this is going to fix my leg?"

"Not exactly, but it will sustain it from getting worse," Aqua mentioned, lying down on her stomach in front of me.

Sara licked at my face and after doing so, lay beside me rubbing up against me. She was really affection... More so then she has been since I've met her. I began to purr as I felt her rubs actually become more vigorous. What she was doing felt so nice... so warming...

"Sara you have to tell me what happened? How you survived out there? How you managed to get so far from where we got separated? Tell me everything?" Aqua glanced at me, giving me a smile.

I rolled onto my stomach, Sara doing that herself. A sigh escaped her mouth, "well... when we were tracking... Lee and I were playing with each other... A little too close to the edge of the cliff..."

I listened to her tell her story from beginning to end, from when she first fell of the cracking ice because of both of their jumping around. To having only the choice of going with that Houndoom, who promised her that, he would take her home when he wanted to, but never did so and just used her as a puppet. Through her separation, she said she was much more energetic and playful, but with her being so lost in the world after losing Lee to the cold months of winter, she became less enthused by the world... at least until she meet me when she was lying on a rock, hearing a ruckus from where she rested and soon went to check it out.

I felt truly sorry for her, knowing that she was being used just because she was a female. My question about the Houndoom was answered; he was just a freak who wanted to break her spirit. Her spirit would have broken even before then, seeing that Lee died before her eyes after being crushed in snow after having made the cliff shatter and collapse.

It hurt me that she had a mate before me, but I wasn't going to hold it against her, after all it would be just mean of me to dislike her for something that's natural.

At the end of her story she was in tears, all she had been through since her separation from her family. I was comforting her by nuzzling into her collar, telling her it's alright. Aqua just watched us as we done what we would occasionally do in her den... her old den...

"I hope you like it here Flaint because you two are so cute together..." Aqua teased, shooting me a smile and giving me a wink. I looked at her and blushed, pushing myself away from Sara who had now ceased her sobbing and was giggling quietly. "Well... I better get going... have some things to take care of… you two enjoy yourself while I'm gone."

I said my goodbye to Aqua as she left the room, Sara didn't, and instead she just stared at me lovingly with her eyes not leaving mine. "Flaint..." she muttered, giving me a peck on my nose, smiling with a gleam in her eyes.

"What is it Sara?" I asked, feeling awkward as she's been acting all different so far today. I narrowed that down to probably being excited on seeing her trainer, which didn't seem all that bad to me, she was quite nice.

She licked at my nose again, 'Do... do you love me Flaint?" She asked as she then rubbed her head continuously against my head.

Her question took me by surprise, thinking of ways on how to answer it. If I told her I loved her then she may find it a little weird, well, I did anyway... but, she asked the question, so to me she didn't think it was weird. Yet... was I confident enough to allow myself to trust a female... She stuck by me since the winter's start and is still with me. No one has ever stayed with me for this long... I decided to tell her. I looked at her, giving a peck on her noise, "Well... I do find you quite adorable..." did I really just say that? I didn't have enough courage to tell her that I love her... just three simple words... and I couldn't utter them to her...

I saw a smile on her face, and I was able to detect she was blushing as her cheeks were a light pink. That's when I felt a truly new feeling, one I had never felt or dreamed of. She surprised me once again when she kissed me, her tongue slowly trying to gain passage to my mouth. It was an in-the-moment act, I allowed her as I felt her rough tongue explore my mouth, occasionally wrapping around my tongue. I could taste our saliva mixing, I didn't like it much but the warmth and her exploring tongue made up for it.

She wrapped her tongue around mine, pulling it into her own domain. When my tongue was in her mouth I didn't know how to react or what to do, I just done what she done to me, exploring her maw as well. Her mouth was quite warmer than mine and just a tad smaller, but nonetheless it was quite enjoyable. It lasted several minutes before she broke it up.

"Sorry... I... I got carried away..." she stated. I know she didn't mean it intentionally, I could see in her beady eyes that she craved for me as I stared into them. It was me who was to unsure about going along with it.

"It's okay... I didn't mind it," I told her. Feeling that sensation I had been feeling since I met her overwhelm my body, I tried to ignore it every time she was close to me, but now it was too much for me to hide. I didn't want to ask her as it might tell her that I'm taking advantage of her generosity.

"I was maybe wondering... if you would like..." she paused there as I looked at her with a confusing look. She looked quite miserable as if something was bugging her. She made no attempt to finish what she was going to say when I looked at her, but I could tell it was something important.

"What is it?" I asked eagerly to find out what was causing her to be miserable.

She blinked at me, giving me a fond look. "It's..." she paused again. It took her a few minutes before she spoke once more and during this time I was wondering what she was thinking. When she spoke I listened to the words she uttered. "Flaint... I love you..."

The words struck me, "love...? Me...?" I stuttered, not scared by her but actually denying it. "I doubt that you love me, you probably just want to use me..." I had told her about my past experiences of affiliating with other females. I wonder how I could think of her like that… she took care of me… even protected me from those Leafeon trio… it was a stupid question…

"I'm not like them... I love you, just because someone thinks your weird doesn't mean everyone does..." she mentioned, "I don't care if others think your strange... you mean a lot to me, and I want to spend my life with you..." she added.

I placed my head on my paws, I didn't know what to say, she was telling me she loved me... she loved me for what I was, she didn't care about my difference. Maybe she isn't like the others; maybe she is the one I meant to be with. "Well..." I was left wordless, not knowing how to respond to what she said to me. I remained wordless, turning my head towards her to see she was laying on her back, her back legs sprawled out and her tail on the side of her. I could see her swollen vulva, making me want to take her. "What...? What are you doing?" I asked. I knew what she was doing... but the fact it was me she was choosing... it was so surreal...

"Well, I can see your lost in thought, so I decided to see what you would do if I took action, seeing that you're 'tool' is ready for action," she giggled. I could see her head looking at me as she lay on her back. Her eyes gazed at my loins, entranced by my pink flesh. Whether it was my choice or something within me, I got up and sat behind near her hind quarters, not knowing what to do or say. I felt so shocked... someone like her to love me...

I sat there contemplating for a while, I didn't realise she had moved until I felt her at my loins. I felt her take a lick at my member, which was actually fully erect already. I almost jumped out of my body, her warm breath made it pulsate and every lick made me moan.

"Sara..." I moaned aloud, still sitting on my haunches, with Sara below me and my front paws beside her. When she took my member into her wet, warm maw, I tried to refrain from pushing my hips forward; doing so might make her do something I may regret.

I was beginning to pant slowly and softly every time she suckled on my tip, using her tongue to tug at it every while to increase my pleasure. My panting increased; this new feeling was beyond anything I could imagine. When she began to take my member in and out of her maw, I had to refrain from pushing into the wet and warn muzzle of hers. I wished it wouldn't end… but the time drew near as I felt that burning sensation in my loins.

I collapsed forward; her treatment had bought me to the verge of no return. I let out a pleasurable cry, my whole body tensing up as waves of my sticky seeds were released from me into her maw from my tip. My panting was heavy, still sending strands of my seed into her mouth. When I calmed down, my body relaxed and collapsed onto her, my front paws dangling from the side of her, my member slowly shrinking as she attempted to remove herself from me but failed in doing so.

I removed myself from her back and rolled onto my back beside her, completely exhausted by her treatment… not to mention I was awfully hot. She walked on top of me, until we saw face to face. She was looking into my eyes as I was to hers. I was still breathing heavily, forcing to keep my eyes open. I could tell the fun was just beginning, as she held a precious grin on her face, like she had something more planned for me.

I let out a yawn, my exhaustion sweeping through my body along with a surge of heat that made me feel uncomfortable. I assumed it was because she was laying on me… the heat from her body enveloping mine so I ignored it. "You tired sweetie..." she stated, laying on me and giving me a peck on my nose.

I wrapped my paws around her, "I..." she stopped me from speaking, placing her paw on my mouth.

"Just rest... we can finish this up later... how does that sound?"

I gave a nod, using my paw and moving hers away from mine, "though before we rest I want to know one thing..."

"And what's that?"

"Would you be my mate?" I spoke those words each with sincerity, nothing was holding me back from her, and she was a true friend and loyal up to this point.

She took her time to reply, "I'll... I'm not too sure Flaint... I don't know if I can replace Lee just yet... but I'll happily mate with you on my terms..." she smiled seductively.

I let out a cheer, what she said was enough for me to push away my doubts about her. I knew she held onto Lee but as time progressed, I knew she would eventually take me as her mate. My state of mind was at peace, I now have someone that cares for me... no... Loves me for who I am...

She placed her head on my chest, closing her eyes. Her warmth was so comforting now that I had settled a bit, but there was still that lingering feeling with my spine. "On your terms?" I asked curiously, placing one of my paws on her fluffy collar.

She giggled quietly, "its part of your surprise," she teased, nuzzling into my neck.

I had forgotten about her surprise. Now she had me thinking to what it was, it had to do with mating for sure... but these terms... I wonder what they were.

We lay in each other's arms, Sara falling asleep on top of me. I was hitting myself in my mind, out of what had happened... I still didn't manage to tell her I love her... I let out a sigh, leaning my head on the blue pillows cushiness as I relaxed my body for sleep, knowing now I had someone that loved me for good... someone who wouldn't use me because she cared for me...

I closed my eyes, dosing of to sleep with the one I loved on top of me, eager to wake up and see what she had installed for me.

The End
