Firelight

Chapter 2

Damned Lolita: Yes, she will be in the story. This chapter, in fact. By the way, I added you to my 'fave authors' list. And a bunch of your fics.

Amy stared.

The little Vulpix stared back.

This continued for about thirty seconds. Then Amy sat up. The Vulpix flintched back, afraid. Amy's 'mothering' instincts kicked in. She always had a soft spot for animals and people. Like when she was a child, you could find the backyard full of orphaned animals.

Amy slowly went toward the scared Vulpix. It was a Fox pokemon, and never, ever mess with scared foxes. She learned that a long time ago. She was reminded of it whenever she looked in a mirror.

She looked pretty normal.Long brown hair, blue eyes, pale skin. The only thing that seemed odd was that her pupils were pinpricks most of the time. However, if you look at her neck, you can see a scar peeking out from under her shirt. It didn't look like much, even when fully revealed. However, it almost killed her.

You're thinking, It almost killed her? Yeah, right. But it did. She was only five, so it was more effective. The fox was mad. As in, insane. It killed a husky. It was small, little more than a puppy, but still. It had been hanging around the yard for a long time. Her parents never told her about Rachel, the husky pup. They just said she ran away. They should have told her the truth.

Because she missed her puppy, she tried to find a new dog. Foxes look like dogs, so she assumed that it was another abondoned animal. And that ended, obviously, in disaster. Amy was in the hospital for a week.

And the Vulpix was worse because, even though it was smaller, it had firepower. But she didn't fear it. It was scared. Never fear the scared. Or they will attack. That is what she had learned.

She slowly went to the Vulpix. It backed away.

She said soothingly, "It's okay, I won't hurt you, you're okay..." But it kept on backing away. "Wait!" It had jumped off. It was running through the door. Amy tore after it.

Little did she know, she was running to her doom...

"She's on her way, sir. The Vulpix is luring her to the portal as we speak."

"Good." replied a green-haired man.

"Prepare the portal, freak," he said to a girl off to the side. "Yes, Master," she snarled sarcasticly. "I am your master, morph. You are my creation, so I have the right to be your master..." the man droned on. The girl ignored him.

She went to a console, and reached a hand out toward a botton.

A clawed hand.

Amy ran, breathing hard. The Vulpix had gotten out of the house, and was running down the street. Thank God that I fell asleep with my clothes on, she thought.

The Vulpix suddenly did a sharp turn into an alleyway. Amy followed.

She looked around. At first she couldn't see anything. Then she saw a shadow move at the end of the alley. She slowly snuck up to it. When she looked behind a pile of garbage, she saw it sitting there.

When she walked to it, it didn't run, or look scared. It only looked very sad.

"I'm not gonna hurt you..." she said, just in case. Then, it did somting shocking.

It spoke.

"I'm sorry..."

She baraly had time to think, Holy shit! before she felt the ground move "What?" she yelped.

The last thing she saw was the Vulpix, with a single tear falling out of it's eye. Then, everything went black.
