Espeon P.O.V

His stare is hard and cold... Those dark eyes pierce through me, and send shivers down my spine. I notice him speaking, but all I hear is my blood rushing round my body. But, when I really focus, I hear Bisharps steel blades scrape against each other, almost giving off the effect of metal sound.

Then, it hit me. The room began to go black, and seemed to close me in. My grip on Sandslash tightens, and so does my throat - claustrophobia is a bitch.

"Espeon!" A voice bellows, causing my ears to ring! "Are you listening?"

They continuously shout, the scraping sound of steel getting louder. Quiet laughter echoes throughout this torture... I run a hand through my fur, and I find that I am damp with sweat.

I can't take it.

I jump up - covering my ears - then scream "Stop!"

Sandslash P.O.V

Panicked, I jump up and hold her to me, hoping to hide her from his stare... That stare is unusual - in fact mean. No... Would he really do that?.. The bell sounds, and everyone leaves.

Everyone, but me, Espeon and Bisharp.

The pieces began to fit together. Mean look, metal sound and two other moves. Why would he do that? What has she done to deserve this?

Suddenly, the metal sound stops. He will make a move... I doubt he will play by the rules and let us take ours. A new sound now replaces the metal sound, a sound of pain... A sound of sadness. Espeon is crying.

There's only one way out - I must knock him out!

I pick Espeon up&place her behind me, a smirk appearing on that dastardly dark types face. If he's trying to intimidate me, it isn't working. Now to earthquake and exit. I bring myself down to his level, before digging my claws into the floor. 3, 2...

Bam. I'm down. That smirk... He predicted my move, my cocky attitude. Sucker punch. Espeon...I'm sorry.

Espeon P.O.V

That last scene was slow, shocking and painful... He's still breathing - thank goodness. I take a deep breath in, my thoughts slowly becoming clearer.

What can I do? Fighting is useless... Suddenly my eyes lock onto a thick rope.

Behind Bisharp.

Now, take a deep breath, and sprint, grab the rope, and escape with Sandslash. It can't be that difficult. Can it?

I slow down my breathing, my racing heart not helping to mask my fear. 3, 2, 1 and...

Charge!
