A little love story between Lucario and Braixen

Darkness taints the Light

Asriel woke up Monday morning, feeling well rested, but his body sore. As he got out of bed, Asriel heard someone talking in the kitchen, realizing that the voice was his mothers. Though he could not understand them fully, Asriel yawned as he left his room, going to the kitchen only to stop short when he could hear his mom clearly. "Yes honey; we need to get Asriel away from here. He is in too much danger," Lisa was saying, no doubt talking to her phone. "I think we should send him to my sisters; we know that she lives in the country. He will be safe there," Lisa said, replying to a comment her husband had made. "Sure; I will. Love you," Lisa said, making a kissing noise before, while timing himself, Asriel entered the kitchen, yawning again. "Good Morning Mom," Asriel said as he got retrieved himself a box of cereal. "Good morning sweetie. I was wanting to know how you felt about staying at your aunt's for a week; yes, you will get out of school for it, but I will get your assignments for you," Lisa said, anticipating his question.

"I will go, but only on one condition," Asriel replied as he poured his milk. "Yes?" Lisa asked. "Brittney gets to go with me," Leirsa said, naming his term with an inward smile; there was NO way she would agree to it. "Done; I called Sarah in advance anyway and asked her," Lisa replied, causing Asriel to widen his eyes in surprise. "Of course, I will be checking up on you every so often. Now, go pack; we leave in two hours," Lisa told her son after she explained a few ground rules, Asriel just finishing his breakfast. "Will Leirsa be coming with me?" Asriel asked. "Yes; I talked to him last night and he will be taking Zoey," Lisa answered, naming the Zorua that Leirsa had a crush on.

Nodding to his mother in acceptance and defeat, Asriel washed his bowl and left to go pack his clothes. 'A week from here... I can't say I don't like the idea...' Asriel thought as he walked into his room, shutting the door behind him silently. 'I know that Leirsa had told Mom about us being the chosen Light Warriors, but I WILL have to fight sooner or later' Asriel thought as he retrieved his suit case from his closet, opening it on his bed before moving to his dresser. A crackle of lightning made him turn to his window. 'Orron,' Asriel thought before discarding that thought; some time away would really help him get over what he did.

-mean while-

Orron was pacing in his room, mind fretting over his actions during training. 'Why did I do that?' Orron thought to himself, stopping to look out the window only to resume pacing, trying to come up with a solution. 'Orron....' a voice spoke in Orrons mind, making the Zoroark freeze as he looked around his room, his eyes scanning his room. "Who is there?" Orron asked, feeling slightly foolish as the rain started to pound against his window. 'Who am I? A better question would be, who are you?' the voice replied. Seeing movement in the corner of his eye, Orron let his eyes glow to amplify his vision, looking to where he saw the movement: Orron gasped.

Standing in the corner of his room was an Espeon, an almost contempt look in her eyes as she gazed at Orron. "Again, who are you?" Orron demanded, charging up a Shadow Claw. "I am the one who can get you forgiveness," the Espeon spoke, making Orron pause before he dropped his guard slightly. "What is your name?" Orron followed up, meaning for the eeveelution to give her name. "My name is Clarissa," the psychic laughed, giving her name with small curtsy in her skirt. "What do you mean? What did I do?" Orron asked. "I know that you were about to kill your friend, and would have if not for his brother," the psychic spoke, her eyes containing sympathy as she moved to and sat down on Orrons bed. "How do you know?" Orron asked her as he stood across the room from her. "I was at the gym when it happened; I saw what you did," she answered, a simple response.

"I am listening," Orron said as he sat down, keeping his guard up as the Espeon began to talk to him, instructing him in how to get Asriel's favor back.

Okay, I know that this is a short chapter, but I suppose it could be considered a filler chapter. Orron is being tempted by the Shadow Warriors... or is he? Is Clarissa actually going to help Orron, or is she planting seeds to draw him in? Stay reading to find out...
