"Charmander?" A young girl with brown hair that was pulled up into a high pony tail, called out for her Charmander.
With no response, Samantha call out for her Charmander, that was nicknamed Lucy, again.
"Charmander?" The young girl called out again, again...hearing nothing but silence.
"Lucy?" Samantha used her female Charmander's nickname, hoping that it would hear it and come running up to her, right by her side.
"Huh...that's wierd. Where could Charmander be?" Samantha mused to herself, thinking.
Samantha shrugged her shoulders. She figured that her Charmander must be sleeping or something. Samantha then climbed onto her pink bed and turned on her television, watching her favorite show until her Charmander returns. Hours passed and there was still no sign of her beloved Charmander. She was getting a bit worried now. Between all of her pokemon she has, and she only has three for now, Charmander is her favorite. And she would be devastated if something happened to Charmander. Night was born, the sun died, returning to life after five, like it day everyday. Samantha jumped off her bed. This is weird; Charmander should be here. It wouldn't dare to ever run away. Charmander was far too loyal to do that.
"Charmander?" Samantha screamed out, running outside.
She looked around, all she saw was the woods out in her backyard. The cool night wind blew through the trees, Hoothoots screeched in the distance, and Zubats zoomed through the air. Samantha trembled; she didn't like going outside in the dark, but she had to do that: to find her lovely Charmander.
"Charmander," she ushered a whisper, cleared her throat and wandered off in a Caterpee's pace.
The wind whipped parts of her locks in her young face. Her eyes settled on the woods, that's where the only place she can think of that Charmander would be. Samantha wandered off into the woods; her heart pounded in her chest. Trees surrounded her; she felt trapped. Something could be lurking in the woods, something that would kill her. She was tempted to run out of the woods, run into her safe, warm home. She spun around, about to run away into her house until images of Charmander appeared in her head. Her eyes swelled up in liquid tears. She can't run away, not now. She needs to face her fears and go find Charmander. She may fear the dark woods, but her fear of something bad happening to her Charmader overpowers her other fear.
The brave young girl looks behind most of the trees and checked up in the trees. She searched high and low for her Charmander, but no luck. Lucy, her Charmander wasn't anywhere in sight. When she thought all hope was lost, she heard a twig snap from behind. Samantha yelped and turned around, thinking she was going to be face to face with something scary invented by her imagination, there was her Charmander.
"Lucy!" She squealed, abruptly running up to her Charmander.
She crouched down to her Charmander's size and gave her a huge hug, never letting her go. Tears slipped out of her blue eyes and onto her Charmander. She sobbed and kept sobbing. She didn't really know exactly why she was crying; she felt the need to. Charmander stayed put and let her hug her.
"Charmander...I'm so glad that you're back. I thought something bad happened to you. I thought...you would never return."
Suddenly, Charmander fainted, falling onto the cold branch-covered ground.
"Charmander!"
Blinking back into reality, blurry at first, but her vision renewed. Charmander sat up, looked around. The sunlight peered through the window and onto Charmander. Charmader yawned and stretched, like a Glameow would.
"It fainted from starvation," A faint voice from outside of the room spoke urgently.
"Starvation?" Another voice from outside of the bedroom asked shakily.
"Yes. Just feed it, give it plenty of rest and-"
"But I don't think starvation was it," she cut her off, in a matter-of-fact manner.
"Are you going to tell me how to do my job?" The nurse, that the Charmander later realized who the voice outside the bedroom was, defended.
"No, of course not, Nurse Joy, but I just don't think it's from starvation," Young Samantha spoke.
"Right. Anyways, feed her, and she should get plenty of rest. Your Charmander will be just fine." And with that, Nurse Joy left.
Samantha nodded her head and lurked back into her own room, where her Charmander was.
"Something's wrong..."she mused to herself.
But Samantha shook that thought away. And climbed on her bed with her recovering Charmander. Samantha embraced her creature, tightly. Charmander, still a little sleepy, fell asleep on Samantha's shoulder. Unknown to Samantha and the Nurse, there was bite mark and a couple of scratches on Charmander's back.
Charmander did what she had to do to protect her trainer...at all costs.
~End.
