Hey guys, I'm back for another chapter for Left In The Shadows
Sorry if this is a short chapter and not at the best of quality.
Going to see how well I can write on my phone since I'm at my moms and feel like writing
Let's get into chapter 16!

Athena's POV
"Dad... and Ace too!?" I exclaimed at the sight of my dad and his best friend. "What are you guys doing here? I thought you were fine with me and Saix being together."
My dad just shook and head and replied "I'm happy for you all in here with your new kits and mates, but we need to hurry. Saga, Radi, Pluvia, and Flare are most likely on their ways here. They know you're here because Radi secretly followed you to see where you settled down."
I opened my mouth to say something but Saix asked "Wait, Saga? Isn't that my... No f-..." Saix cut himself off to not swear and continued to say "I mean, no way is my mom working with them. They want me dead, she would never let that happen."
As Saix thought about it, tears came to his eyes. "I'm sorry Saix... But it's true. She forced you to be an Umbreon during your training. For the sake of the town, but since you ran off, her plans have been halted. It's why Ace and I are here to warn you and help you during the fight."
As my dad finished his sentence, Saix's tears started dripping down his cheeks as he began to say "Sir.. Umm-"
"Jagger is the name." My dad said to let Saix know.
"Thanks, but Jagger. Why would she do that I don't understand. I'm her son, she'd always act like my mom who would always love me, in which I returned the love. I always wanted to be just like her..." Saix mumbled before collapsing, followed along with the sound of sobbing.
I looked at the kits who were all watching the conversation. Both Skyline and Agera looked at their father with saddened expression, before walking up to him and rubbing against his face. He looked up at the two and said "Thank you, I needed that..." He started to get back up after giving both kits a lick on the forehead.
Once sitting up, the two kits laid down at their father's feet to let him know they were there for him. With a straight face, Saix asked do you know their location?"
My dad looked towards Ace, whose eyes were glowing blue with the use of Future Sight. When the glow went out, Ace then said "About two days. They arrive around noon in two days and will attack. We can counter but Saix, you'll have to stay down here with the kits. It won't be safe for you to be out there fighting, especially with you being able to easily go into Self Defense Mode. That's cause you to kill the four if let loose or not taken control of."
My mate took some time to think about what was happening before saying "If we win, they must leave. I want all the kits in this room to grow up without violence and pain since they'll most likely all travel together once old enough."
At this point, Agera decided to pipe in and say "What does daddy mean by us all traveling?"
I laughed and replied "Once you, your sister, Lye, and Syndicate are all grown up, you'll most likely venture off to a new town or start your own." I took a breather and continued by asking "So dad, will it be just the four, or will there be more?"
He looked at the ground and said "I don't know. The least there will be is four but the most be the whole old town and Dark type haters due to them being "creatures of disaster."
I sighed and said "All we can do is hope that there isn't too many of them. Saix, Charm, Meka, Igneous, Burza, and I just settled down almost two weeks ago. We'd love to stay here and maybe even make our own small town."
Ace whispered something into my dad's here before saying "Jagger and I would like to know if we're aloud to stay here after to fight. He wants to get to know his grandkids and watch them grow up."
Saix and I looked at each other before looking back at the others. They gave a small nod so I turned my head back to Ace and replied "You two can definitely stay here since you are my dad and pretty much, uncle."
My father smiled and said "Thank you Athena, you don't know how much this means to me. Anyways back to the topic in hand, we need to fight them and keep them away from Saix, and all the kits. They'd them all instantly and most likely kill or captured them to take them to be stress relievers."
Saix rejoined the conversation by asking "What if I don't go into S.D.M, (Self Defense Mode), would I be aloud to fight while someone else looks over the kits? I have some unfinished business with Radi, that devil eeveelution. Doesn't deserve to live on this planet."
Ace just shook his head and said "Sorry, but we can't risk it. However whatever beating we throw on Radi, we'll tell him you requested it as revenge since you won't be able to fight, if that's okay with you."
After thinking over it, Saix sighed and agreed to the proposal. Once the serious conversation was over, Ace and my father asked if there were any unoccupied dens that they could use. Once Saix told them where they were, they thanked him and left, followed by Meka and Charm, along with Lye, and Igneous and Burza, followed by Syndicate.
Saix let out yawn before saying "Athena, I'd say it's time for bed. C'mon you two. Mommy will follow soon. He went to the single, giant bed and laid down on one side, allowing the two tired kits to lay down next to his stomach. I smiled at how good of a father my mate could be and went to him and the kits, gave him a kiss on his nose before lay down on the other side of the bed, the kits also touching my stomach. I wrapped my tail around Saix's before quickly falling asleep.
Thanks for reading chapter 16 of Left In The Shadows!
Sadly, it's coming to an end within two or three chapters.
But have no worry, a friend of mine and I have been planning out the sequel for this.
