As I write this letter to you, all I have to say is... I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I lied to all three of you. Living a life of lies has taught me that it comes with a price, and now I'm paying it. My name IS Rena Deveraux; that wasn't a lie. But I never wanted to be a Ranger... That's not why I was at the Ranger School. I am so, so sorry that I lied to you, but the truth is... I'm a thief. And you...you were my assignment, and I was to think of you as nothing more than that. It wasn't personal, I promise you. It was just business. I thought I could outrun the law my whole life and never get caught. Never did I once think that the law applied to me, or that my actions would catch up to me one day. It never crossed my mind...not even once. I was so confident, which made my downfall inevitable. I left my back turned for one second and I lost it all. No words can describe the feeling I get when I look at your face... That look of pain, and sadness... Your eyes are filled with nothing but hate and disdain when they meet my gaze. Honestly, I'm surprised that you haven't killed me for what I've done to you. I'm afraid this is the end, and I will never see you again. You can hate me for the rest of your life. I understand... What I did to you is unforgivable, and I don't deserve your forgiveness. I don't deserve to see your smile ever again. My biggest regret is that I will never get to properly say good-bye to you. So, I must do it in this letter. Good-bye, my Prince Charming. I will never forget you. Take care of Rhythimi and Isaac for me, and please...apologize to them on my behalf, since I can't do it myself. Oh, and one more thing, Keith. Assuming that you didn't just tear this letter up upon receiving it, I just wanted to say... I've told you a lot of lies since the moment we first met... But my feelings for you were never one of them. {Pokémon Ranger Shadows of Almia fanfiction; cover art was just photoshopped by me}

Oh, I wish I lived a fairytale. And not because I want to have my own handsome prince, not because I want to have a fancy little dress and ride in one of those beautiful pumpkin carriages. I really, truly wished I lived a fairytale because if I did, I would've had a happy ending. 'Cause you know, Serenarella got married to Prince Calem Charming, and Ash Ketchum finally became a Pokemon master, and they said those things weren't possible, but they happened anyway. And I'm jealous, so, so mournfully jealous, that those miracles don't happen with me. I miss you. I want you back, Cinder. I didn't realize it before, but... but I love you. And I'm sorry for everything I did wrong, for everything I thought I did right, for counting the stars that didn't shine and ignoring the ones that did. Will... will you please be my Pokemon again? //pokemon one-shot [5th in one-shot category of the 2016 PKMNWatties]

2015 PKMNWatties Best in Short Story "I remember that moment my siblings all curled up around me, their fur warm and soft, enough to make me sleepy and dreamy. I looked up at them, my little nose sniffling in the cold wind that rushed from the snowstorm happening outside. "You'll never leave me, right? We'll always be together?" I asked quietly, my voice echoing in the silence of the cave. They all stared profoundly at me, their eyes sincere and kind. All eight of them wore genuine smiles as they purred, rubbing themselves against me in a kind of calming manner. At first I worried they didn't hear me, until my eldest brother, the Alpha of our pack, Jolteon, came closer to me, pushing my little body closer to his. "There'll never be a moment with even a single Eeveelution short." I nestled closer to the safety of my brothers and sisters, my eyes just about shut in the warm company of my family. There was no way to predict what would happen in the future. There was no possible telling we would be together forever as a pack. But despite it all, I believed him. There was nine of us. And that's how it would always be. Or so I thought. You could never imagine how fast a promise could be broken. How quickly you could be pierced. And worse than it all, despite the long, painful years you wait, how some wounds never heal." ----- ~Cover by @AllHailRempire! It's literally the best cover I've seen in my entire life O: THANKS SO MUCH!~
