Shatter Me (flareon x glaceon)

Chapter 18

???'s POV

As I padded back to my den, I realized how late it was getting.

The sun was already halfway behind the trees, meaning that the moon would be getting up at any point now.

My sister would be very paranoid if I didn't return before the moon fully appears.

I began to speed up, now running through the dense forest.

There were a lot of parts in this forest where I had to slow down, due to the densely grown nature.

On rare occasions, I had to use night slash to slice my way through the overgrowth.

It got kind of annoying after a while of running.

...

All I could think about was my sister.

I was so worried about her.

That terrible wound she has, has been getting worse and worse!

Now that I came in contact with the flareon again, I explained him what to do.

I have to hope, that he figures it all out, and that he returns before my sister.....

"...no! that can't happen!..."

"...not after all these years!..."

"...I won't let him win!..."

...

While I was running, my eyes spied a babiri berry bush.

I instantly stopped to pick all of them, carrying them with my muzzle.

The second I had them all, I picked up the pace again.

"...these berries will safe my sister..."

"...without them, it becomes impossible..."

"...I hope that the flareon knows, how to heal wounds like that..."

My pace quickened, as I was nearing the den.

...

The moon was almost completely visible, only hiding a very small portion behind the horizon.

I came to a stop, as I reached the open area where my den was.

My paw opened our den door, closing it behind me.

The babiri berries I collected, were safely placed for safe keeping.

If I didn't take them with me, they would probably get found, and destroyed.

"...grrr..."

"...even after, all these years, he still, holds that, cursed grudge..."

"...he doesn't, even know, where we are..."

"...yet, he continues, to destroy, every babiri bush, he and his 'followers' come across..."

My paws pawed at some sitrus berries, carrying them to the bedroom.

I opened the door to see my sister shivering in terror.

Once she saw that it was me, she lowered her guard.

"...sis, I'm sorry..."

I pawed over the sitrus berries to her.

She began to eat them, as I held them in front of her.

"w-why are y-you so l-late?" my sister asked while eating a sitrus berry.
