The snow crunched under my snow boots as I walked on my way home through white luscious snow, the first snow of winter break I might add, yep my mom had to go pick up my brothers so I decided to walk home today, ah it feels so great to be off for two weeks, I took a bite out of a donut I bought with some spare cash I had on me.
By the way, my name is David, I'm 15 years of age, have pale skin, and a coat with the zipper down the middle unzipped, a green shirt under the jacket, kaki longs, and a pork-pie hat with the words "Disney land" on it
I sighed "Ah the peace in the air- ah who am I kidding its winter BREAK!" I pumped my fist into the air and jumped "YEA-AH-AHA!" I was happy as a June bug in July yes that was lame, but bear with me.
I finally got to my home, I smelled the alluring sent of chocolate chunk cookies… mom was home… and making her classic 'winter break cookies' she only made them on the first day of winter break my god there the best things you'll ever taste….
I opened the door and shut it behind me while walking in, I took off my coat and hung it off the coat rack and walked casually to my room, my mother won't let anyone in the kitchen when she's making them so I headed to my room, my brother was playing some sort of gun game I don't pay attention anymore really, my youngest sister was playing dress up I ran past her room not wanting to be a victim of this torture, and I got to my room, and laid on my bed, and let out a sigh as my hat fell off of my head
"Finally… I needed this break…." I said, peacefully I outstretched my arms and just relaxed and stared up into the ceiling. Even though we had it great, mom had a good job, and my dad's old job still sends us his funds, I wonder, what would it be like if dad's business trip boat never got lost…? I really don't know if he's out there or not, I tend not to think about him, but everyone knows about it witch kind of stinks because my friends always say 'are you ready to talk about it?' ugh how it bothers me so!
You probably wonder what my dad did for a living huh? He was a top notch artist, he went on that boat to paint a scene for a couple getting married, that scene is where they first kissed, however his ship got lost, and we haven't heard any other news, but I stood up out of bed and passed around, like I usually do when I'm lost in thought
"Why do I still think about him…? Dad's and it's not like thinking about him will bring him back" I said to practically no one and then I saw my memento of him…
It was a drawing, and a photo.
The photo was of me in a vulpix costume when I was 6 years old because I was so proud of my male vulpix in red.
Hey I was six I didn't know the Vulpix species was mostly female
And a drawing, of that male vulpix my dad gave me the minute before he left as a pun on that yep, back when I was 12, to celebrate 6 years after the costume
The Vulpix was looking up at a huge tower, wearing a red hood and a necklace with a gold circle on a silver chain; you could see it dangling off his neck
I ran my fingers against the glass it was framed in
"But sometimes I wish it did…." I thought out loud…
After that I just played Pokémon or other videogames on my DS for a few hours until I heard Elizabeth come in
I turned my head slowly to face her with eyes closed, praying that she didn't want me to play dress up with her, because if I said no, she'd some of moms mascara and make it look like a black eye…
"Oh big bro, I'm not going to make you play dress up this time, just look" she said and she wasn't lying, when she lied, she had a hint to her voice which she didn't
So I exhaled in relief and opened my eyes, then took a sharp breath as I realized she was wearing my old vulpix costume.
"Muahahaha! Look what I found!" she said in her evil little way
"My god Liz do you have to wear that costume?" I asked being exasperated, yea I call her Liz but only because I want to ok?
"Well now that you say it… yea I do!" she said with a smug look on her face "Oh and dinners ready" with that she walked out of my room and to the kitchen
'I'll get her later…' I thought to myself, but for now I was hungry so I walked downstairs to grab a bite to eat I guess I was pretty hungry, I did walk home.
I got to the kitchen, which had white tiles, white walls and white cupboards, yea, basically the room was white, I had no idea why they chose that color… but the room itself had the alluring aroma of chocolate that I knew oh so well.
"So Elizabeth why are you in a pokeymayns suit?" my younger brother asked as you can see he wasn't the biggest fan of Pokémon in the family
"Well first their called 'POKEMON' stupid, second because I want to!" Elizabeth shouted at him
"Hey hey hey! No fighting at the table!" my mom yelled at the two of them.
"Yea mom…" they both replied
While I smirked, one of the gigs of never getting in trouble, watching them get into trouble.
Mom had made chicken tonight, and we all ate it happily, strangest thing was I was eating like I was going on a thousand mile journey.
"You're eating like a hungry doggy!" Liz commentated
"Coming from the little girl who's dressed as a six tailed fox, why are you by the by?" I said/asked
She shrugged and replied "My dreams told me to remind you of something."
I rolled my eyes, the dream excuse again… you see she always used her dreams as an excuse, and I was getting quite sick of it really
"Yea, yea…" I said absentmindedly, I've been saying a lot of things absent mindedly lately… I wonder why
Any who after dinner mom served the winter break cookies… my god did they smell good… though Elizabeth and Ryan backed away as they where a pile of dog…. Droppings
"They're just cookies…" I said puzzled
"You can have them!" and then they ran away quite fast…. I wonder why they smelled WONDERFULL
"Oh you don't seem to be running away…. Why?" my mom asked tilting her head.
"I don't know what's wrong in their heads mom they smell wonderful." I said, and then I picked one up and ate it, they tasted as wonderful as usual
But my mom looked… like she had just received her wedding ring from dad; I know this from photo albums…
I swallowed the chewed cookie before speaking "mom? Are you ok?"
"N-nothing David… but how about a little mother son time tomorrow hmm? Ryan has been hinting he needs money from babysitting"she offered
"Well where are we going?" I asked
"Well how about that haunted house you're always claiming you can walk through without begging to leave" she said as she grew a smirk "tomorrow."
I had a glint in my eyes"you're on mom! And the first one to crack has to break a ten deal?"
She seemed confused, but then the smirk grew into a smile… but it didn't seem competitive… but happy
"Deal…" and with that she left me alone with the cookies.
I ate about… 3, what they where irresistible… any who, after that I raised my miraculously male vulpix in Pokémon diamond until I was tired
And after a while I saved, and changed into some pajamas, turned off my DS, got under the covers of my bed and eventually fell asleep
-----------------
I woke up in a graveyard in a forest… a puddle nearby rippled, clouds where in the sky, obviously mementos of a strong rain…
I stood up, feeling the foreboding sense of the dread in the air… such a dark night… so empty… but full
It was full of emptiness… the empty of the dark, and the full of life's past, and life's had …
"y-y-you…" a voice said… a familiar voice
"Who's there?!" I looked around
It was a dude wearing a cloak with the hood down ….. or so I thought, he had canine features resembled Anubis he is an elderly Pokémon I could tell, it faded blue fur, and It was all blue… a muzzle, and a walking cane: I recognized this Pokémon as a Lucario because
That Pokémon has as much fame as Pikachu these days
He stood between two gravestones and bonked me on the head with his cane
"OW WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR YOU OLD COOT?"
"…. I speak on borrowed voice…"
"What?"
"Your fathers sides blood has shown 1000 years past since then… you can now return… to the world…" he said…
And I finally realized, his voice sounded like my fathers, except… older
"Wait!" I yelled but all that stood there was a grave stone…
"Honey, get up" came a voice that pierced from the heavens and I woke up
---------------
"Huh what?" I asked groggily it was midnight, I was out of that crazy dream and back at home, and mom was dressed up in a golden- cream colored dress that covers her full body with an orange vest overdress, hair comber down nicely, and red orb earrings
"Mom what's going on?"
"Listen, your sister got in trouble and I have to supervise Saturday, I already woke up your brother, I'm paying him $20"
"So it's now or never?"
"Yes, get dressed; I'll get the car started" with that she went down stairs
I got dressed in what I wore yesterday, including my hat (which is so epic by the way) and I got downstairs and got in the car with that we went to the haunted the house but I slept the entire way
When I woke up I was shaken awake and the next thing I know me and my mom where standing in front of it
"You go in first Mr. Brave and mighty." She said tauntingly
I nodded and went in
Man did it live up to its name holy hell was it scary but stayed strong
"You can't scare me! I refuse it!" I said as a confidence booster, but there was nothing…
I walked around the house, visiting every room and nothing was a scary and later I got to the main foyer
"Heh, piece of cake!" I said, and I was about to exit too when
"O-o-o-o, really…." Screeched a voice and then next thing I knew I was asleep
---------
"Humph, I guess she was right… 1000 years past…" said the voice, and with that he zapped the unconscious boy with a strange piece of technology… and he changed… he changed drastically gained his arms turned to legs, gained a quadrapedal body, his stature was lowered to two feet but is on side, with a red mane and brown fur, tails are also red, the boys human clothes lay spread the floor and the mysterious figure picked up his former hat in hand
"I guess I'll have to let him keep something but it needs a liiiiitle change" the figure passed a hand over the metal with the words Disney land and it changed to 'Pokémon' "there we go… "the figure pressed a finger on David's head "this should wipe clean his memory so he won't miss anyone" the captor said, a note appeared with the word 'David' on it, so he'd know his name, he put the hat back on David's new canine head, his ears stuck out of sides of the hat that somehow now had holes for them
"Now time for you to go kid…" David in his new body floated off and shot off into the air in a ball of yellow light "go home you rare of male Vulpix, David… to the world… the world you abandoned"
