Pokemon Revival (Discontinued)

Chapter 53 Trust

As I started to slow down my pace I was nearly back to the house. I came to a stop to catch my bearings and looked back at Zuria.

She had her arms wrapped around my neck, holding on tight. She still had an expression of fear just as she did when I first saw her. She seemed stuck, as if she didn't know what else to do. It was obvious she was scared, but she wasn't trying to get away from me. I don't do this very often, but that's more of  the fact I forget I have the ability, I checked her aura.

What I sensed was just an onslaught of pain, sadness, fear, and other negative emotions. Feeling it myself was terrible, what has she been through to put her in such a state.

I walked up to the back door and I didn't have a free paw. I had to put her down.

-Alright, just give me one second to open the door,- I said.

I gently put her down and she loosened her grip around my neck and sat down while holding her arms around her legs. Her eyes were still wide open, unmoving. I took another look at her and forget how covered in dirt and muck she was. If she was going to stay here, she would need a bath or something, but first she had to eat.

I quickly opened the door and went back to helping her. I tried to get her to do the piggy back thing but instead she got up herself. She got on all fours and went close to the door and started sniffing. I guess she was trying to get a read on who was in there. She started making a low growling noise.

I think she was able to sniff out who was in the house. But I did what I could.

I got down on my knees next to her.

-Hey it's okay, the only other living things in the house are my brother and a Pikachu that lives with us, they wont hurt you,- I said.

She looked at me, made another growling sound, and fell over on to her side. She tried to get back up but couldn't. She seemed to run out of strength again, and this time she looked to not even be able to do the piggy back thing again. So as an alternative I just carried her into the house.

I ran into the living room and quickly laid her on the couch. She looked at her surroundings almost in a daze. She seemed scared yet interested in everything in the room. She looked at me with extreme confusion.

-Alright so look, you just sit right here and relax, I'm going to go and get you something to eat, and don't worry, nothing here will hurt you, okay?- I asked her.

I saw her expression calm and she nodded.

I then headed into the kitchen and opened the pantry and fridge. I looked not only for something she can eat, which in my guess was meat, but also something she could eat now while I made her a real meal. I saw that Claire had bought what was the equivalent of this world's jerky. I got out a box, opened up each individually wrapped package and put them all on a plate. I then headed into the living room where I saw her just looking down at the sofa cushion. She seemed to be thinking, but stopped when she noticed me.
