Hikari's POV

" Eve, use quick attack!" I command my Eevee as we are attacked by a wild Purrloin for the 100th time since we had left the others along route 2 to train, 3 hours ago. Eve's attack hit the Purrloin and it faints. I throw my pokeball at it and I hold my breath as it shakes once, twice, three time, then give at quit click and stops shaking.

" Yes! Good Job Eve! we did it!" I jump up and down In excitement, and throwing my arms in the air.

" Vee! Vee!" Eve says copying my excitement, then trotting over to the caught pokemon and pushing the release button on its pokeball. the Purrloin comes out of the pokeball.

" Loin!" it says, saying hello to my Eevee as she says hello back to her. I walk over to her and the Purrloin and sit down next to them.

" Hello, my name is Hikari, and if you wouldn't mind I would like to be your trainer Purrloin." I asked the Purrloin. "I'm sure we will be really good friends, along with my other pokemon."

" Loin, Loin." the Purrloin says as it jumps into my lap and curls into a ball, purring slightly. I giggle, and Eve comes to rest on my shoulder as we both watch the now sleeping Purrloin in my lap.

" I think I'm going to call you...Star, because he is a very good sleeper and also the stars tonight are really pretty." I say to Eve. I lean my back against a nearby tree deciding to let Star sleep a little while before we had to go back to the campsite where the others were waiting. I look at the stars and trace out constellations with my figure. Eve had jumped from my shoulder and was now curled at my side fast asleep. I remember how N and I would stare up at the stars like this, with N's Zoran, Zor, curled between us. N would point out a constellation and tell me all about them, and I would giggle telling him how I someday wished to be able to touch the stars, a childish dream it there ever was one, but I was happy. N was my big brother, my safe haven, and he would teach me anything and everything I could possibly think about. That was before father sent N out on missions and before he started to hit me.

before I had realized it I had fallen asleep.

~~~~ Dream~~~~

I was laying on the hill outside the castle that served as my adoptive home, N layed beside me liked he had when we were little, pointing at the stars. We were both laughing, and he tugged a strained of my hair playfully. I star up at the stars wishing that this moment could last forever.

" N? " I ask contently, but I never hear a reply. I turned my head to look at him but her was gone. " N!? Where did you go?!" my voice filling with alarm. I sit up, some of my purple hair falling into my eyes. I blink my eyes pushing some of the hair out of my face, and a black shadow engulfs me. I look around me but there's nothing but black nothingness. I stand up turning In a circle.

" Where am I?" I ask into the darkness.

" Come to me Hikari. Give me your soul so that I may live again." A cold voice reaches me through the darkness, pulling me towards it. I tried to resist the pull of the voice but my body was moving on its own. suddenly I hear another voice call out to me through the darkness.

"' Hikari!" I knew that voice. As I turn around the scenery changes and I'm now standing on the edge of a cliff over looking a pit of endless darkness. I could see something running towards me, coming closer and closer.

" Hikari!! Stop!!!" I can now see that the figure was N and he was running towards me with his hand out stretched. * N...????* The pull became stronger. N was almost in arms reach of me. but it was to late.
