The Games: Chapter One-The Family
#2 of The Games
Reaping Day... Even the words always put a chill through my spine...
This year, i am seven... Normaly, my name would be going in three times, but i had made a special deal with the "Control", and this time my name would be going in eight times...
My name is Brey-Brey... Not the best name, but it's special to me... My father gave it to me... He's dead now... Taken into The Games at the age of 9... Everyone knew he was a goner... He, was a Vaporeon(Aqualis)... My mother, is a Glaceon(Chill) . I, am an Umbreon... The ninja of the night. My little sister is still an Eevee. Eevees don't get a name until they evolve. So, she is known as Eevee. My mother is 8, and my sister turned 5 last summer... They are the healers of Island 12, so we always have enough to eat. I, however, can't heal at all. Must be something about being a boy; either that or because i always hung out with dad as an Eevee, and never bothered to learn healing like they did...
Speaking of Eevees, here comes my sister right now. We all had something different about eachother, for me, i had a really short tail. For my sister, she has a completly white leg, right up to her body.
"Big brother" she called out to me, "Mum says to come back now". 'Okay, coming", i shouted back to her.
Umbreons are well known for their high defense and special defense. But some people don't know that we are fast too... I caught up to her in no time at all.
Wanna lift?
Yay!
Her face lit up at the suggestion. She loved riding on my back as i ran, the feeling of the wind in her face. It also lets us get back in about half the time. Win-win situation.
In about two minutes, we arrived back home. Eevee hopped off my back, her hair all pulled back in one direction. I let a snicker escape my lips. She smiled then shook her entire body. Now all her hair stuck out in different directions. I fell on my back, laughing.
"Ahh, you're back now, are you Brey-Brey?" A Glaceon walked out of our home with a Ponyta with a huge cut on the side of its head. "Ok, so keep rubbing this on your cut every day for at least 10 minutes, it should heal in about 4-5 days".
"Thank you miss Chill". He put 3 Leppa berries in my mothers hand and walked away. Berries were currency in this place, not like PoKe in the other places. Unlike other things, berries DO grow on trees.
Ready to go you two?
"Ready", we both said in unison.
We all walked off to the main square, completly unaware of how eventful today will be...
