☆ 3rd Person POV ☆

Paloma is Mellan's abusive ex-girlfriend. He took him forever to finally separate himself from her. She abused him emotionally and physically, causing him physical and mental bruises.

During their relationship, Paloma isolated Mellan from almost all his friends and family. Now, he barely knew where to go. Especially since he was terrified in staying in the same town as her. However, there was one friend that stayed by his side, being an Umbreon named Darcel.

Darcel lived in two towns over, so there would be enough physical space between him and Paloma. Mellan decided to take the train to get over with the little money he had on him. The trip was long and crowded, however Mellan pushed through, knowing that he would be safe under Darcel's roof. The sky was dark and full of a mix of clouds and stars. The moon was hiding completely from view, making the world seem darker. However, it wasn't soon before he appeared at his best friend's doorstep.

Mellan put up his paw to knock, but he hesitated for a moment. He froze in place and the door, rethinking and overthinking the entire situation. Fortunately, he decided to jump into the situation and knocked on the door. He braced himself as he waited at the closed front door.

It wasn't soon before the door had opened.
" Hello? ", A voice asked, beyond the doorway.
There, Darcel appeared before Mellan. Once Darcel spotted Mellan and his condition, an concerned expression appeared upon his dark furred face.
" Mellan! ", Darcel exclaimed, his ringed ears flattened towards his sides.
" Hey... ", Mellan greeted, in a soft and shaky tone.
" Are you alright? ", Darcel asked, observing the Jolteon with his red gaze.

Mellan's dark purple eyes shifted to the ground, his ears and spiky fur recoiling back into himself.
" Come in, please. ", Darcel ushered, gesturing him with his tail.
" Are you sure? ", Mellan questioned, unsure about the Umbreon's decision.
" Yes, I am. Please, you must come inside. ", Darcel told him.
" Won't your parents mind? ", Mellan pointed out, hesitantly padding inside.
" No, They know you. Since we were small eevees, remember? You're one of us. ", Darcel replied, confident in his words as he carefully and softly shut the door behind Mellan.

The Jolteon let out a deep sigh as he was fully inside. Darcel padded to his side, looking at him with a soft and comforting look.
" So, what's brought you here if I may ask? ", The Umbreon asked, curiously.
Mellan looked at Darcel for a moment, then bit his lip, breaking their eye contact and looking a wooden tile floor.
" It's alright. You don't have to tell me now, I understand. ", Darcel stated, sensing the negative vibes in the air.

Darcel glanced over to his couch and back at Mellan.
" Do you need a place to stay? ", He offered in a soft tone.
" Yeah, would that be ok? ", Mellan replied, timidly.
" Of course, I'd love to spend time with you. I'd be my pleasure to have you here. ", Darcel stated, smiling.
A smile appeared on Mellan's face as he looked over his cartoonish, jovial expression.
' I hope this will turn out as I believe it will. ', Mellan thought as a small flame began to kindle in his heart.
