Together

Chapter Nineteen

The Darkrai circled around Fae, his expressionless face gazing at her with slight curiosity. "You're a shiny," he noted thoughtfully, a ragged clothed paw on his face. His face contorted into a smile. "We could use you." He stated.

Huh?!

Fae began to panic. "Use me?! What the heck are you talking about?!" She exclaimed as she struggled a bit.

The Darkrai chortled at her reaction. "Cute," he remarked before he grabbed her by the ropes that bound her. "You seem innocent. Let me just simplify this for your small, dead brain: I want your brother dead. You see, your brother is not who you think he is."

Fae growled at him. "Eon is my brother!" She shouted. "He's willing to help me get an adventure." The Darkrai chuckled. "From what I've seen, you act like a newborn. You don't even know how to use many moves and you just mastered a few." He commentated.

This Pokémon was stalking her? Not only that, but he kidnapped her over a feud he had with her brother. Fae was furious. They shouldn't have involved her. She wanted nothing to do with this sort of fight—but it feels like no matter how hard she tries to convince herself Fae would always get involved with fights she felt weren't hers.

But were they really just Eon's? He might have his own problems, but Fae was his sister. Fae shook her head. Getting angry wouldn't help in this situation.

The Darkrai rolled his eyes. "Raw anger I see. You don't even know my side of the story, Vee. What? Just because I'm the opposition doesn't mean I'm the bad guy. Wait a minute—of course I'm the bad guy! That's all us Dark types are, huh? Well, besides your brother of course. He must be so, so noble!" He mocked.

Fae tried to keep her temper in check.

"Who are you?" She asked him in restrain. She watched him float about. The Darkrai continued to float about for a moment. He seemed to consider whether or not it was safe to give Fae his name.

Finally he said, "Skliros. Listen, Vee—" "Fae," the shiny Eevee interrupted the older. "Listen, Fae, your brother and I have some beef. I really don't have much against you, but you're close to him." He then mumbled, "It's not like I have a choice anyways. Thanks, Mrs. Quick thinker, Viola."

It seemed like he didn't want to involve Fae—which she was at least glad he was not as willing to kidnap her as she thought. His demeanor seemed unlike the kidnapping type, however he seemed to be willing to change plans if opportunity struck.

"Well, anyways, you'll be here to stay. Just relax. I don't have any really big plans for you anyways." Skliros informed her, earning an complaint from the Gothita—Viola—who kidnapped her. Skliros flashed a glare at her. "For now, you can sit back and relax. However, I am to need you to keep all this hidden. Trust me, your brother is hiding something from you. You might as well hide this from him." The Darkrai informed her.

Well, that is what she does best is it? Hide everything bad from herself.

The Darkrai's blind gazed turned on her. "Well, don't you have anything to say?" He asked her calmly. He fumbled around for something before a shiny Greninja snuck over and handed him his top hat.

"Ah, yes, there it is. Thank you, Rau." He thanked briefly before putting it on. The so-called-Rau kept her head down as she skunk back into the shadows. This made Fae wonder why a starter would join these guys. She seemed to not belong.

Fae tried to think of something to say. What could she say to her creepy kidnapper anyways? Perhaps there was still some good in him? He didn't seem interested in killing her at least—unlike the other bad guys she was confident she ran into.
