Umbreon X Eevee Reader - Afraid

I was kind of scared. I had to go to the Haunted Zone. I wasn't too afraid but I was. It was the scariest place in all pokepark. I wanted to go there so it wasn't so bad this time. After our visit to Frost and Leaf's café I wanted to see Umbre again. I loved to see him but I hated to go see him.

This pathway was scary enough, with all the ghost and dark types around. Most of them were mysterious and scary but some were nice. They didn't go in the other zones like the rest of the Pokémon in the park. And this pathway. It was so scary. It was pitch black and had dead trees on the sides. The light wind made an eerie sound from the trees as the Pokémon laughed making even scarier. With all this and it always being night over here, well it wasn't but all the trees blocking the sun made it seem like it was.

I jumped when a tree branch snapped. I looked around me but no one was there so I kept walking. The leaves on the ground rustled and more laugher came. I got scared and walked faster. The way to the beginning of the Haunted Zone to the Haunted Mansion was awhile. That's where Umbre liked to live in. They even gave him his own room.

I stopped to catch my breath when I could see the feint light of the Mansion. So I knew I was near being safe. I sighed and leaned on a tree but I heard and felt it crack. I looked up and saw the branch was going to him me. I was too afraid to move. I saw a black flash and I watched the limb hit directly where I was. I whimpered softly and shook.

"Easy, (Name)," Umbre's voice said. I shakily looked up and say him there. His yellow rings glowed a little making it easier to see him. "You almost got hurt. Are you okay?" he asked helping me up. I shook my head and hid in his neck. He held me as he sat down and I leaned on him. I softly cried in his chest. I was so scared it wasn't even funny but Umbre was making me feel better.

After I stopped he looked down at me. "Feel better?" he asked. I nodded. He then put me on his back and used his rings to light the way back. I curled up as much as I could on his back when we got closer to the mansion.

The outside of the mansion was beautiful. It used to be a human's but they died more than a hundred years ago. Maybe more since it was so torn down. The garden's lights still worked since Chandalure just had to light it and they were all good. Some Pokémon loved to be out here in the garden and use it as a racing track since it was a perfect oval. I raced Umbre on this a few times.

He took me inside and up the stairs. A few nicer ghost Pokémon were in here. But he took me to his room so we didn't really stop. His room was what the humans called a master bedroom. It had the remains of human things but my favorite was the bed. It was a large bed and had red bedding with black on it. There were four pillars to it to keep a see though fabric that had a red tint to it.

I jumped down from him and laid down on it. It was so much more comfortable than I remembered it. "So why are you here, (Name)?" he asked.

"I wanted to see you," I said cutely and innocently.

He looked away and I could see a little blush on his face. I smiled a little. "But why did you come? You're afraid of this place."

"Because I knew you'd save me," I smiled. "You always do when I come to visit." He seemed lost in thought. To the point of where I lost him. I cleared my throat and he jumped.

"Ha. Sorry, (Name). I guess you're right. I never noticed that before," he smiled. "But you're right. I wonder why. I must have a (Name) Radar." I blushed since that's exactly what I had thought.

"I suppose so," I said. "Like you always know when I want to come visit you and you are always there to light the way since I get scared of the Haunted Zone."

"To be honest I was on my way to the Flower Zone to get a (Favorite Flower)." He said looking away.

"Why a (favorite Flower)?" I asked curiously. I didn't know if he they were my favorites or not. Shaymin loved all flowers so she grew all the flowers in the world there. I loved to go there and see all the different ones she was growing there. The only thing was it was a harder zone to get to. So with Umbre saying he was going to go there it had to be for a good reason. He never went out of his way unless he wanted it for something else.

"Huh? Oh, no reason," he said. I stared at him not buying a word of it. "Alright. Alright. I wanted to get some (favorite flowers) to help decorate your home. We were all pitching in to help make it more for you. I was making your new bedding."

"Why would you all do that for me?" I asked confused.

"Because I wanted to do something nice for you." He said. "You always do nice things for me. Like visiting here though it scares you to no end. You know you're different than most Eevee, you actually try and come here." He was right. Everyone who wasn't a poison, dark or ghost type was afraid to come here. They avoided it like the plague but not everyone over here was bad. Umbre was here and he was the sweetest Pokémon ever.

"That's so sweet of you to do." I smiled and licked his cheek. I backed off to see him blush and staring blankly at the floor. "Umbre," I said and went on the floor so I could look him in the eyes. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. More than okay really," he said. He jumped down on the ground a little bit in front of me and then licked my cheek back. "I love you, (Name). I hope you realize that."

"I-I-I didn't," I said nervously. I knew I felt the same I just couldn't say it.

"Do you feel the same, (Name)?" he asked. Great it's like he knew I couldn't say it. So I nodded. "What's wrong Frokie in your throat?" he asked and I nodded again. "You are so cute when you're embarrassed. Much cuter than I thought you'd be."

"You've thought about this before?" I asked still hearing how nervous my voice was.

"Well yeah. No matter what I am thinking about my thoughts always head back to one thing. And that thought is you. Your smile, your scent, the way you act and how soft your fur is." He said nuzzling my head. "I was right. Your fur really is soft."

"You love messing with me? Don't you?" I asked.

"Well it is fun to do," he said and nuzzled me. I leaned against his chest and relaxed.

"Well you're pretty soft yourself, you know," I said looking up at him as our noses barely touching. I leaned up so they were and I licked his nose.  I left him and jumped back onto the bed and he fell flat on his face. I giggled as he got up.

"You did that on purpose." He said and jumped up next to me and laid beside me.

"Maybe," I smiled cuddling him closer and relaxing. "I never realized how soft your bed is. Maybe this could be my new nest."

"Sure. I'll escort you around until you get used to it here." He said. "So you'll have to deal with me being by your side all the time."

"I wouldn't have it any other way," I smiled and nuzzled his chest and laid my head down on his arm and then I yawned. I didn't even realize how tired I was.

"Sleep. It'll be good for you and I'll be here for when you wake up." He smiled. I trusted him and slowly began to fall asleep in on his arm. Before falling asleep I realized I wasn't afraid anymore. Not with Umbre lighting up the dark for me.
