Suddenly I woke, laying in a den, completely lost. I looked at my paws, the claws sleek and smooth, my white fur a bit dirty. I looked around the den, I was laying on a bed made of some kind of soft down, on top of the blankets, next to which a few baskets containing berries water and other supplies, a table was in the middle and there were a few unlit lights around what looked like some kind of rock in the entrance. I sat on the bed for a bit and then thought of where I was and realised I had no clue, getting a bit scared I thought of what I was doing before I got here. Nothing, I tried to remember something, where I came from what I did.. even what I was but nothing... Just, nothing. I got panicked and sat up quickly,hitting my head on the roof above.
"Ow!" I rubbed the back of my head feeling something I couldn't explain. The thing in the entrance of the den turned quickly to me, onlly resulting in another head blow as I jumped a bit.
"Hey! Be careful!" I recognized the voice as masculine and deducted from that the person I was talking to was a male. Somehow I knew what a male was, and for some reason it filled me with fear that it was a male. "I see you've finally woken up, you've been asleep for three days now." I saw something in his eyes and recognised it as concern. I had no idea what to say or do so I just looked at him, hiding my fear. He started speakings in a harsher tongue. That completely confused me and he saw, then spoke again in a different one once more. Apparantly frustrated he left, I sat there confused looking at the entrance to the den and wondered what Was happening. I got a bit flustered at the fact that I couldn't remember a damn thing about myself. It made even more frightened that I couldn't remember anything I took a deep breath and tried to clear my mind, hoping to allow memories to enter.
"Hey." The sudden speech made me jump again, the third strike of my head nearly knocking me unconscious once more. "Oops. Sorry.. I was hoping I wouldn't scare you like that..." A female. The fear I felt with the male wasn't present, which confused me a bit.
"Uh..." I started at the sound of my own voice, it was soft, and chimed a bit, like a string instrument being plucked. "Um..." "You speak English then? What's your name?" The creature looked at me, I recognized her as an umbeon. She smiled, which made me feel more comfortable.
"Uh-umm.. well I-I don't really know..." I didn't really enjoy talking, shyness my most prevalent characteristic. I felt like bouncing around because I remembered something, it filled me to the brim with joy.
"What do you mean you don't know?" The umbeon looked confused and tilted her head to the side.
"Um... i-i'm not sure..." I looked down and she sat next to me. "I don't know much anything about my self..."
"Oh... so you've suffered amniesia..." She adopted a look of sympathy and patted my back softly to comfort me.
"I-I don't know..." I looked down feeling defeated and powerless.
"Night sshould get you to feel better, by the way I'm shadow. Night!" She called out the time of day to the entrance and I looked confused.
"But your an umbreon... And time of day doesn't exactly come when you call it." She laughed and the male came back in, the fear returned in my belly.
"Yeah shadow?" This confused me imencely, as "Night" was talking to "Shadow" and I didn't understand.
"Can you help her?" "Shadow" looked at the large male and explained. "She's suffered amnesia."
"Ah, I see." "Night" seemed to notice my discomfort. "Are you okay?" I refused to talk and stared at him, not daring to say a word. "She's a mute too?"
"No, I just think that you scare her."
Mmm." He looked a bit uncomfortable. "Are you sure I can help her if she is?"
"Will you let him?" Shadow turned to me, tilting her head to the side curiously. I simply sat there, unsure. That's when my red eyes met the males icy blue eyes, I realized how strange his eyes where since they lacked pupils and the whites where as black as his pelt, this was underlined by the bone white skin that was his face, blade, tail and claws. I blinked as I realized that my own body was the same shape I was just a bit smaller and white furred rather than black, my skin and claws were navy blue my eyes the converse of his. I blinked as I remembered something else about myself, Shadow shook her head and the male backed out uncomfortably. "Do you wanna talk now?" Shadow turned back to me, I looked at her. "Sorry I should explain, Night isn't a normal absol like you are, his fur eyes skin and claws are differently colored because lady Giritina spared him at birth." I sat there and frowned, then remembered what names were, who Lady Giritina was and what absol were as well.
"Lady Giritina? But I thought she was the angel of death?" Now knowing that the male Night was spared by bassicaly a demon I thought I understood my fear of the male, forgetting that it was really just the fact that he was male.
"Hey that's not true, well kind of but shes no demon!" Shadow's pelt pelt stood on edge as she took a defensive tone of voice before she continued, "You like when your treated like the plauge just cause your an absol?"
"W-well n-no.." I ducked a bit subdued by her aggressive defence.
"Your doing the same exact thing by making Lady Giritina into a demon! Night is one the most gentle people you'll ever meet! You think hes the spawn of a devil? She spared him because his mother wanted to take his place in death!" When she was done sighed softly. "Sorry I just really don't like when people judge others without getting to know them." "I-I'm sorry." Looking at my paws I felt ashamed then curious as I realised that I remembered that my species, absol, were thought to be the messangers of death and how unique Night was because of his color. The feeling in my head returned, but this time I recognised it as pain, my paws going back up to rub my throbbing head.
"Does Night scare you?" Shadow once again scared me with sudden speech but I didn't jump as high before turning to her.
"W-well... yeah I guess." I was still surprised at my own voice, making it shiver a bit.
