Chapter 3 Ambushed
Every couple minutes after a conversation ended, it seemed another would pop up like a weed. The conversation would last thirty minutes before dying and another would take its place. By the time we stopped for the day, I was thinking Nick as close a friend as I'd ever had in my lonely life. Every time I thought of him as a friend, I got this weird feeling inside me, like I was about to burst. Every time I felt it, I got afraid and it would go away quickly. I didn't know what to think of it.

"Home is just a day away, Trinity." Nick smiled at me as he put out his sleeping bag under a pine tree. I smiled back until my inside started to pump, the feeling returning.

I dropped my smiled and looked at the ground.

"Do you know how to use secret power?" He asked me.

"No." I replied. "Well, I know how to use it, but I don't know how to use it." I blushed, hoping he'd understand.

"Okay, do you think you could make a fire pit?"

"I'll try." I said sheepishly. I thrust my hand out toward the ground in front of me and, just my luck, a perfect circle of dirt rocketed up at me and coated my perfectly clean fur with sand. "Owe, my fur!" I cried, brushing the earth from my arms, the whole time Nick was laughing at me.

"Trinity, stop." Nick said breathlessly. "I promised to brush you."

I was confused. What did brushing have to do with cleaning my fur? When he ran the brush down my arm, I saw why. The brush was made to push the filth out of Pokémon fur, meaning everywhere he brushed would be better than new. I murred appreciatively as he brushed my arms, legs, back, stomach, tail, and rear, but once again he didn't do my breasts. I grabbed his hand as it came away from my body.

"You aren't done yet. You said everywhere."

Knowing I was right, he moved in front of me, blushing as his eyes fell on my chest. He put the brush into my fur on the very fringes of my mounds and slowly brushed inward, earning a mewl along with a twitch of my tail with every stroke. Every stroke bent the skin of my breasts slightly, making them flatten slightly as he ran the brush through my fur. As he went on I notice the testerone levels reaching heights that would rival those of my captors.

When he finished, I was drunk with it. I didn't know why he aroused me and they didn't. What made him so special? He treated me better. He didn't use me. He cared about me. But why did that make my lap burn? I had only known him for two days, yet his scent was causing me to yearn as if I was in heat.

I realized that I didn't want to masturbate. I wanted him. I needed him to satisfy me this time. "Th-than-k y-you." I stuttered to him. He looked at me funny. Oh god why is he looking at me like that? I don't want to love him. I-I can't love him.

I looked away, spotting the hole I made in the ground. It wasn't bad.

"Trinity." Nick said, rummaging through his pack.

"What!" I jumped, nervous. Did he know about my thoughts?

"Why so jumpy?" He asked, pulling out a couple of berries.

I took some of the berries from him and deliberately took a big bite out of one so I couldn't answer his question.

"I'll go gather wood." I said, gulping down the chunk of fruit, nearly gagging. I quickly ran into the trees before he could reply.

"Trinity!" Nick called after me as I ran, passing perfectly salvageable logs, branches whipping through my clean fur. I ran on and on, until I reached a river where I fell to my knees in the sand with my face held in my hands and started crying.

I couldn't fall in love with a human. Human's hurt me, they raped me, they touched me. Nick was nice, but he was a human nonetheless. I cried until I was out of tears, surprised that Nick hadn't already recaptured me. He said that if I ran, he wouldn't stop me.

I looked up at the sky. It was getting dark. What was I supposed to do? Should I go back? Should I run? "Mom? What should I do?" I asked in my own language. I crawled over to the river and quenched my thirst. I didn't know why, but I waited for my reflection to appear and when it did, I scowled and whapped my paw into my reflection's face.

I slowly stood up and began walking back the way I came. My shaky legs carried me even after the sun set. I followed my way back in the dim light, wondering why I chose to go back. I finally made it back when the only thing I could see was the fire he had lit.

He had his back to me when I stepped soundlessly out of the foliage. His knees were up to his chest and his arms were forming a bridge across his knees that his head rested on.

"Do you still want me?" I asked, my voice shaky from all the crying it had been through.

"Trinity?" Nick launched up and spun around. He instantly had me in a bear hug. "I don't own you, but I'll always want you." He cried into my shoulder. I realized that I wasn't the only one who had grown attached. "I was afraid you'd never come back."

I hugged him back. "I was afraid I wouldn't, too."

He started to pull away from me and I released him before I realized he wasn't ending our hug. He was looking into my eyes. His were bloodshot. He had cried just as hard as I did. I had the sudden urge to kiss him, but I didn't know what to do. I wanted to make sure he loved me as well. Luckily he solved my problem. He suddenly pulled me in toward him and our lips connected.

At first I protested, think that this wasn't what I wanted, until I realized that this was very much what I wanted. Bliss enveloped me as I sunk into the kiss, allowing his tongue entrance to my mouth when it pleaded. My tail curled around us, tying us together. There was no way I'd let him escape. I felt something inside me again, my blood pumped.

He pulled away suddenly and the feeling was suppressed. I was about to protest when he cut me off. "Do you want to be an Umbreon?"

"What? What does that have to do with anything?"

"Trinity, you're going to wake up tomorrow as an Umbreon."

"I don't want to be an Umbreon though."

"Then let me go and I'll get you something that'll stop it." I reluctantly tore my body away from him. He went to a side pocket of his pack and searched around for it. I heard the clacking of stone on stone. He withdrew a green stone with what looked like a thunderbolt in the middle. He shook his head and returned it to the pouch before retrieving a smooth, grey stone. He set it on the ground and continued his search through his pack, withdrawing two more stones the same color but different shapes. Finally he picked out one about the size of a large marble. He returned the others to the pocket and came back to me. He reached under my chin and grabbed my collar.

I had completely forgotten about my collar. He fiddled with my collar for a few moments before he looked at me and smiled. "This everstone will prevent you from evolving. It's the smallest I've got, but I'll look for a smaller one, okay?"

I fingered the everstone that was attached to the metal ring my leash had once been connected to. In a way, the stone was a different sort of leash, but this one, I'll enjoy.

"Now where were we?" I asked, an impish expression on my face. I put my arms around his neck. "I think I remember, but we may have to start over."

He smiled. "I don't think I'll mind." As we resumed the kiss, I didn't feel anything inside me that made me fell like I could explode... except for love of course.



I rested my head on Nick's shoulder sleepily with his arm wrapped around mine. I was too comfortable to think about moving, but I wouldn't even if I wanted to. I was going to stay near to my not-yet-but-soon-to-be mate.

"Tired girl?"

"Eevee." I replied sleepily, too tired to bring words to memory.

"Ha, I thought so." He replied, kissing my forehead. I sighed contently, thinking that my capture was definitely worth this one moment.

"Well, well, aren't we snug?" I heard, my eyes went wide. No! It can't be!

It was. I leaped away from Nick and twisted around. Boss and more than ten guards were standing just inside the ring of light cast by our fire. "Eevee!" I shouted, too surprised to form words in my head.

"What are you doing here?" Nick asked, jumping up and holding my hand.

"We've come here to reclaim Miss Eevee here." Boss smirked. "We've had a higher offer."

"You've already sold her to me. You can't take her back."

"I don't think you understand. I'm taking her back whether you give her back, or I have to take her back."

"No!" I shrieked, grasping Nick's arm. The guards and Boss gasped.

"Boss, she-she talked!" A guard said.

"She's no longer wild." Another said.

"We can't sell an anthro that can talk."

"Shut it!" Boss ordered. "We'll just tell him we taught her. I don't care what the story is. We're not leaving without that bitch!"

"Trinity, get behind me." Nick ordered. I didn't listen. I didn't want him to defend me, to get hurt because of me. I loved him.

Boss raised his stick and I notice that it wasn't like before. It was shiny and short. It was a handgun. I knew Boss had the intention of using it. Nick gasped. "Things are going to get real messy if you don't hand her over."

My mother had warned me about guns, about how they could make instant death with the only evidence being a loud bang that split your ears open. Nick's body language confirmed my mother's claims.

Nick was tense at my side, glaring at Boss and his goons. I could only imagine what was going through his head. Was he going to give me to them? I loved him and I thought he loved me. I couldn't bear to be separated from the man I loved after just finding him.

"I won't give her to you." Nick replied calmly after a minute.

"Then you give us no choice." Boss smiled broadly. Nick pushed me away from him. I knew that he was trying to protect me, but it still felt horrible to be abused like that.

I fell to the ground and looked up, bracing myself for a bang. It never came. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, something flew out of the trees and struck his wrist. He yelped and dropped the gun. He gripped his wrist and swore so bad I thought that Satin would be ashamed. I smelled blood.

"What the HELL?!?" He yelled after his colorful display came to an end.

A loud, childish laughter echoed through the trees. A shiver went down my spine. My instincts told me it was human... yet not. "Hee-hee. I thought that someone threatening another's life would be tougher than that." a voice came from everywhere at once. It paused for another snicker. "After all I smell the deaths of more than many on you."

"Who are you?" Boss asked.

"Oh, me? I am not very well known. I doubt you'd recognize my name. I was just flying by when I felt a glorious sensation of love run through my veins ensuing from that couple right over there, but then I felt terror from one then two of them and I knew I needed to help." The voice tittered some more. "I suggest you leave now."

"Come out and face us coward!" Boss yelled.

"You call me a coward? Ha! You're the one too afraid to confront your enemies without your friends. Here I'll even the odds a little." Suddenly every guard dropped to he ground. I felt confidence surge through my veins.

Boss looked around frantically. "Relax, they're only asleep." The voice tittered. His gun suddenly flew up in the air. "And you won't need this." It was suddenly crushed before it fell to the ground.

"Now the odds are a bit even." The voice laughed again. Finally, something wafted into my nose, the scent of the voice's origin. I could tell it was close, very close.

"Fine, you win! Whoever you are, I'll leave them alone!" Boss yelled.

"Good. Now be a good rat and scurry home." The voice laughed. The guards stirred a bit, coming awake. Boss quickly sounded the retreat.

"That was fun!" The voice said as when they were gone. It laughed. I looked toward where I could now tell it was coming from.

"Thanks Leah." Nick said, still looking in the direction the men had gone.

"Leah?" I asked.

"That's me!" The voice said. Suddenly there was a very odd looking girl sitting next to the coals of the dying fire. She had bright blue eyes that seemed to give off energy and youth in a white face that had a large red triangle starting at her nose and rounded on her forehead beneath her long red hair. She had large white ears on the top of her head. She wore no clothes, and Trinity scanned her body with wonder. Her arms were red on top and white on the bottom, the red ending at her elbow. Red skin went up to a point that ended at her collarbone that painted her less-than-modest breasts red with a small, blue diamond in between her blue nipples. Her thin stomach had a white oval on it, the wide stretch going up and down. Her legs were graceful and a stripe of whit skin went around each thigh. She had small, red appendages coming from her back. I remembered her saying that she could fly. Maybe they were wings. I thought that she looked weird, yet beautiful at the same time.

"Trinity, this is my neighbor Leah. I asked her to watch out for me while I was going to get you." Nick said, finally looking away from the woods.

"No offense, but... what are you?" I asked, blushing.

"I'm a Latias anthro!" She replied. I gasped when she suddenly started floating effortlessly. She twisted around so she her stomach was down. She floated over to me and I scooted away. "I'm not going to hurt you." She giggled. She hovered above me, looking into my eyes. I blushed as I looked into her seemingly endless blue eyes. I instantly knew that she really did have no intention of hurting me.

"You have a different sort of mind." She said.

"Excuse me?" I asked, confused.

"Oh, didn't you know? I suppose you don't. I'm a psychic type so I can read minds."

"What!?" I yelped, rolling out from under her before popping up onto my feet. I didn't want anyone in my mind. So far, I wasn't getting a good impression of her.

"Relax." Leah said, floating back to the ground so she was sitting. "I can only read the thoughts you're think at the moment, unless you're, uh, looking into my eyes, heh-heh. But I swear I'd never tell anyone."

That wasn't exactly what I was hoping to hear. "It's okay, Trinity." Nick said, sitting by the fire. "You can trust her."

I was sort of comforted, knowing that the man I loved trusted her. Hesitantly I sat next to her, keeping my eyes away from hers. "I guess I should thank you for saving us."

"Oh that goes without saying." Leah said. "I know you're thankful." She sighed. "I know what you're thinking, that I'm still reading your mind, but I'm not okay." I looked at her out of impulse, and when I saw her eyes, I knew she was telling the truth.

"See! You do have a weird sort of mind." She suddenly yelled. "When you looked into my eyes, you saw that I was sincere! You're sensitive to emotion!"

"What?" Nick asked, probably feeling left out of the conversation. I scooted closer to him to make up for it.

Leah smiled. "Trinity can read emotion by their scent, their body language, their voice. She does it unconsciously, but I think it's pretty cool that she learned to do it for her own survival." I could tell that she seemed to be happy with herself. I gasped, shocked when I realized that I had just proven what she said to be true.

"Do you think it's true?" Nick put his arm around my shoulder.

"Yes." I said stunned.

"So what do you want to be when you evolve?" Leah asked.

"I think that you know that I don't know." I replied.

"I didn't really. I didn't dig deeply into your mind when I looked into your eyes. Evolution was far off your mind." Leah blushed, her white cheeks turning a light shade of pink. Her voice somehow came to my ears without her moving her lips for the next sentence. "All you were thinking was how crazy you thought I was."

"How..." I began.

"Telepathy." She said.

"How many powers do you have?" I asked sarcastically.

"My kind can turn invisible." She said. "I can teleport, but that's a move I know. I think that that's pretty much it. Oh! And I can turn into someone I can trust, but I can't talk while I'm in their form."

I yawned, despite my surprise over all her powers.

"You guys should get to bed, I'll keep watch." Leah said, floating to her feet.

"Thanks Leah." Nick smiled. I could tell he was tired as well. As the adrenaline wore off, Nick and I got up. Nick offered his sleeping bag to me, but I declined, preferring the grass. Suddenly I was lying on the grass near Nick's sleeping bag with a weird anthro as a guardian that, despite her oddities, seemed like a worthy friend. Now I had two. I guess that getting captured was worth it.

Sleep, Trinity. Leah's voice resonated in my head. It was weird that I could hear her voice like that and that it didn't wake me up in any way. I promise to protect you and Nick.

Thanks Leah. I sighed, not knowing whether she could hear me or not. I didn't care, I was out like a light.Chapter End Notes:Sorry it took so long.
