Your eye's bleeding!; OPEN

[ASHAH-RAINE WOLFE !]

Ash came upon the Woodland Town, flanked by her cousin Jackson, who was still very young, and her rather sinister looking Uncle Cid who had a constant smirk upon his face (which kind of made him look a little like a madman who might pull out a sword and stab you at any moment with it - and Enjoy it), and beside him his Mightyena. Ashah would have liked to be alone to go and fetch supplies for the order, but Cid didn't trust her, and Akhor was currently busy. Then there was the fact that Jackson had taken to following the girl around all the time, so he didn't want to stay behind without her, which in turn annoyed Cid. The man just didn't want anything to do with his son.

As they reached the outskirts of the town, Cid turned towards the twenty year old and gestured towards the spot she stood on, "Don't move back over this line. You need to stay within the town's perimeter, and if you even try to escape, I'll have Mightyena hunt you down and take out your legs so that you're no longer a threat. Understood?" The man asked, still with a rather weird smirk across his lips.

Ashah hissed under her breath, "Fine. Meet you back here in an hour or so. I'll take Jackson with me." The girl replied, holding her hand out for the young chocolate haired boy to grab on to, which he did so promptly and then smiled up at her. She offered a smile back and then lead the way forwards, followed by her ever loveable Growlithe and Espeon, who seered well clear of the vicious Mightyena.

The group of four strayed to a part of the town that had a couple of trees situated about eachother, where Ashah decided would be a great chance to have a sit down and not worry about her murderous Uncle for a change. She sat back against the tree, with Espeon in her lap and her canine pokemon curled up on one side of her, and her cousin on the other, clinging to her arm and looking up at her with a sad face.

"Do you miss your family? I'm sorry daddy hurt them ..." He inquired with a positively adorable voice. His green eyes were wide and worried.

Ashah couldn't answer with words. Instead she looked away, only for a moment later for Jackson to suddenly screech in her direction, "Ashie, your eye is bleeding!" And he reached up to pull up the eye patch the female always wore over her right eye, to reveal that there was indeed a trail of blood creeping down her cheek from the, what was supposed to be healing, thin wound across her red eye.

Ash was pleased at the change of topic, but she was beginning to get worried about her eye. Surely it should have been healed by now. Not that it made much difference - she was now premanently blind in that eye, while her left blue eye was still somewhat damaged from shock, atleast that one would heal. "Don't worry, it does that a lot."

Besides, it was a minor problem compared to what happened to her mother, father and brother.

[Minnie Dark]

Minnie sometimes had no clue what she was doing, and right now was one of those times. Umbr was nestled in her arms, large ears flopped down and tail hanging under one arm as Minnie walked down the street. She liked it in this lovely town, but she didn't like being so far away from StormCloud City. Oh well, what was a day off, eh?

Umbr shifted in her arms, and Minnie looked down at the little fox-like Pokemon, sleeping peacefully. A smile traced its way across the woman's lips, and she lifted the canine up, kissing her between her ears.

The canine shifted her weight, opening one eye and looking at her trainer, more like her best friend, through a small slit.

"Eeyuh?"

The way that she flicked her bushy tail and then lifted her head made Minnie smile and place her on the ground. She took off at a fairly quick pace, trotting a head of Minnie with her tail hanging. She looked a little like a brown Ninetales with only one tail.

"Where are you going love?"

"Ee!"

Then there was what sounded like a little kid yelling, and Umbr's ears shot straight up on her head, and her tail came all the way up off the ground. Minnie froze as well, her eyes scanning around until she spotted the two people and Pokemon.

At the same time that Minnie saw them, Umbr did as well, and she bounded forward, her gait just as quick and smooth as any one would want in a well bred Pokemon.

"Eev!"

Minnie's eyes widened as her Pokemon took off at a run, and she scurried after her. Her Pokeball was in the leather purse that was on Minnie's shoulder, but never once did it occur to her to fish it out as her little Pokemon sprinted up to the other two, whom where much larger than she was.

"Oh Umbr!"

Minnie came to a jerking halt, looking at the woman and the young boy, the Espeon and the Growlithe, and back to her own little Eevee, who was looking at Jackson, her tail sweeping back and forth slowly. It was clear that she liked children.
