Chapter 8

All Things Are Relative

Character: Ben

"You promise?" Iso looked up at me.

"I promise. I'll make sure we get out of here."

"Okay..." Iso came closer and curled up next to me.

We lied beside each other for some time before hunger started to overcome me. Eventually the hunger became intolerable and I gave in. I walked up to the bowl of pokemon food. I ate one of the pellets. It actually wasn't so bad. I scarfed down half of it and left the rest for Iso.

"Aren't you going to eat, Iso?"

"I don't feel like it."

"But you can't just go hungry!'

"I said I don't feel like it!" Iso looked real annoyed.

I could tell there was something wrong. "What's wrong? You aren't being yourself."

"What's wrong? We're in a cage somewhere, that's what's wrong!"

"No, not that. There is something else. You can tell me."

Iso calmed down. "Well... It's that I've been promised things before, and those promises weren't kept." Tears began dripping from Iso's eyes. She lied down and started crying.

I went to her and licked the tears from her face. "It's okay. I'm here for you. You can tell me about it."

"... Okay... My dad was the best ever. He would always take time off from his work so he could play with me... We always used to have so much fun... For his job, he researched DNA and genetic modification in his lab in the basement. Then one day, when I was nine, I guess he got tired of taking care of my mother and not having an actual lab... He decided to leave... He packed all his stuff in a moving truck, and asked me to come with him. I told him I didn't want him to leave, and that who would take care of Mom. He then said that he was going to go and get his own lab and in three years he should already have everything worked out. He promised that in three years he would come and get me and we could be together again... but he never came..."

"At least he loved you. About a year after my birth, my dad left to live as a recluse in the mountains. He left me his diary, and according to it, he left cause he was tired of my mom being so mean and demanding."

"Really?" Iso looked back up.

"Yeah. You can stop crying. Your dad may have not kept his promises, but I will."

"I believe you." Iso stood up, and just then there was a noise that sounded like a door opening. Three pairs of legs appeared outside the cage. Two in the back were those of Team Hane No Arashi grunts, and the one in the front seemed to be that of a scientist.

A mysterious voice spoke. "Open the cage." The two grunts walked to the side of the cage, and then the top was lifted off of it. Two grunts and a scientist peered down at us. What was strange though was that the grunt on the left looked sorry for us. He had short light brown hair, and his eyes were a mixture of green and brown. There was an eevee on his shoulder who looked like she really didn't want to be here. The mysterious voice, who turned out to be the scientist, spoke again while looking at his clipboard. "As you may be wondering, I am Dr. Chernobog, head of Team Hane No Arashi's scientists. And according to your files, you are Benton Etheldred and Isolde Branimir." The grunt with the eevee seemed surprised when he heard Iso's last name. "Any chance you are the daughter of Ikenna Branimir?"

"Like I'd tell you!" Iso growled at him.

"I'm taking that as a yes." Dr. Chernobog wrote something on the clipboard, and turned away. "In case you're wondering, I knew your father. Hehehe. You, guard the subjects." He walked away. The other grunt put the top back on the cage and left too. The grunt with the eevee sat down beside the cage.

"Hey, I'm going to get you out of here. Just be patient."

"Why should we trust you?" I bared my teeth at him.

"You can twust him. He won't hurt you. He not evewil." The eevee jumped to the floor in front of the cage.

"Yeah. My name is Alastair by the way. And if you haven't noticed already, I'm not really a grunt. I'm a double agent for... never mind, I've already said too much."

"So how do you plan on getting us out?" I relaxed and sat down.

"Leave that to me. I'll return later when I have everything worked out. Bye for now." Alastair got up and left.

Author'sNotes:

Iso and Ben finally have last names! And if you are wondering why I used medieval names, it's because I like medieval stuff. If that explanation does not satisfy you, pretend that there is a deeper hidden meaning behind it.

Also, Alastair is Umbreon of Darkness's OC.

Name meanings:
Chernobog- "the black god"
Etheldred- means noble and strength
Branimir- protection and also great and famous or peace or world.
Ikenna- father's power

If you want to know more about the names or something, I either get them from google translate or from , so if they are from that site you can go there and search the names.

Ryu: Now for the first ever interview with the characters of The Path An Eevee Takes thing! First and only question is from coloredraininlives! The question is: "What is your favorite pass time, and what do you like to do in your free time?"
Ben: My favorite pass time is sleeping. As for what I like to do in free time, I'd have to say playing with pokemon.
Iso: My favorite pass time is well... let's see... having fun! In my free time, I like to play around in my pokemon form.
Ryu: That's the only question for today. If you want to ask a question, remember that you can only ask one per chapter, and It can be to a character or to multiple character who appeared in that chapter.
Ryu: So, what did you think of the scientist-guy?
Iso: He was creepy.
Ben: Wierdo.

Please review! Every review is appreciated! After I spend hours writing a chapter, the least you can do is take a minute to write a sentence. Since the last update, I've gotten three favs from people who didn't review. Anyways, please review!
