A Tale Of Two Worlds - Chapter 7 ...Secrets?
Rafeile wandered down the path leading from his home, the female keeping to his pace by striding quickly looking flustered. The large turlte Pokemon occasionaly kicked up some dust and dried dirt, his mind was a flurry of confused thoughts and dazing reprocusions, there was simply too much going on, the tourtured feeling of leaving Amber, the pain that racked his body everyday since he first met her and the harrowing doubt about what was to come. he had come to the conculsion if something wasnt done soon hed be trapped and strangled in the spider web of lies hed laid out.
Meanwhile the female had found a rythme she was contempt with and kept up with him plodding beside the much larger male she began eyeing him suspiciously, it seemed he was conciuos yet he had the expression that no one was home.
'Is there something on my face' the words came quick and cool, no real emotion in the tone.
Darting her eyes away quickly she tried to make out she had just idly been looking, but Rafeile didnt buy it,'No... you just look a bit... well bleh today thats all.' A thought came to her as she scanned his body thinking something was amiss,'Say how did it go with Madane? You havent got any bruises, cuts... or well anything, i thought she would have ripped you limb from limb after she heard what you had to say to her... unless...'
Rafeile said nothing just kept walking forawrd, briskening his pace.
She also increased her pace and turned stopping infront of him, 'comeon you little momma's boy lets here it, what happened?' She put a finger to his chest causing him to stop.
With a deep breath and what sounded like a quiet growl he looked away slightly, 'Nothing that a pampered little princess like yourself needs to know' the words lept from his mouth sounding more offending than intended.
The female just laughed, 'be that as it may, i still wanna know and there isnt a damn better perso to tell! Didnt i keep my promise before?' She smiled and puffed her cheeks slightly and put her hands behind her head, 'sides who would i tell?'
As much as he hated to admit it, she did have a point. At the moment he felt like it would be nice to be able to tell someone else, lift some wieght off his chest so to say, so without much thought he just blurted it out, 'i just out and perposed, asked her to be my mate an all.'
Her eased and almost happy expression dropped right off of her face. 'T-Two mates!? and... and the most coverted mates to boot! Most guys would kill to get one of em! And us gals would do anything to look that good! But you... your playing both of them!'
Rafeile jumped straight on the defensive, 'Hey i had no choice! Madane said she'd die of angusish if i didnt. And not to sound patriotic but im not going to be the cause of someones death in my lands!'
'Men...' She snorted
'An-and what is that supposed to mean?' he sounded confused and cross, he had been completely thrown off.
'Die of angusish? Idiot, she meant her heat! You know that painfully embaressing time of year we females go through were we practicaly need to mate?' She shook her head, 'sheesh and i thought you were supposed to be smart!' Every second she spoke he felt smaller and smaller.
'You cant mean she wants to.... with me!?' He almost began quivering.
'What so you never thought she'd want children?' Every second her opinion of Rafeile was dropping, what the hell was going on in his head? 'Your going to have to give her what she wants if you want to keep up this cherade...' she paused before bluntly staing her mind, 'this is all going to blow up in your face, you know that right?'
Rafeile slumped his head' this was it, finally everythign was catching up to him he would lose everything he held dear and hurt those he cared most about. '...I know...'
She just looked and giggled, 'Well just be glad your friend isnt here, he'd kick the crap outta you!... which reminds me' we've been walking for like half an hour! Where are they?'
Lifted by the change of subject Rafeile was determined to keep it going, 'Im pretty sure we'll find them soon, alothough we may have to keep looking until we find them, don't want to dissapoint eh?'
And it just so happens not ten meters ahead of them through the bush line.
'Whaddaya mean you forgot!?'
'Look calm your white hide, i only took a wrong turn, nothing major.'
'Nothing major he says, you know this is all your fault Myron'
'Hey don't go blaming me Rictor's the guide, your just pissed cause your gonna miss your date that you got yourself hyped up about.'
'Ad why the hell wouldn't i be? She bloody gorgeous!' Rafeile quickly made this voice out to be Dante's and he thought it had changed some.
Both Rafeile and the female smiled to one another, maybe luck was changing. Moments later three large figures came stumbling through the undergrowth, a crack and a suprised growl later and there was a pile of struggling Pokemon.
'Well hi there' were Rafeile's first words, 'i didint think we were this close Myron.'
The large dragon Pokemon blushed and pushed him off, 'knock it off Rafeile we've been looking all over for you guys!... At least i think... this is her right? All you Blastoise look the same.'
'And just whats that supposed to mean!?' The female looked very offended scowling hard at Myron.
Rictor let out a hearty chuckle 'Hey there Rafeile, heya Elle... Wait Elle? Arent you supposed to be out on a date or something?' He tilted his head looking lost.
'Well you could say i was out on abit of a manhunt, looks like i found him though' She stepped forward and hugged Dante and kissed him on the cheek, but before her lips made contact he quickly and slyly moved his head to the side, so instead his lips made contact with hers.
Her eyes widened at the sudden unexpected turn of events slowly relaxing and reverting to a almost dreamy state as she allowed her mouth to be invaded by his tounge.
While Rafeile laughed at the display Rictor stood slack jwed almost in dismay, 'Elle!... Dante... You... him... bu-bu-but... WHA?' He continued his mumblings sounding all the more disorintated.
As Dante broke the kiss Elle slumped into his arms relaxing with a dazed expression, 'I've been waiting all night to do that,' Dante sounded as eager as a child on its first day of school.
'So you mean i brought you all the way here so you could plant one on me sister?' Rictor continued to gape as the words slurred from his muzzle.
'Your sister?' Dante paused and thought smiling, 'Well i guess if you put like that then yeah... yeah you did,' Elle giggled at his words and licked his muzzle.
'Thats just like you Riccy, never stopping to find out who someone is' She used her pet name for her brother as she was in a dream like mood.
Myron stood next to Rafeile as they both observed the peculiar spectacle, 'so this is just a shot in the dark here, but I'm guessing you taught him a few things about females?' Rafeile directed his question at Myron without looking at him.
He laughed deep and shook his head, 'sure as hell did, couldnt have worked out any better than i had hoped, lets just hope he doesnt go in over his head.'
Elle continued to bask in the unexpected attention she was reciving for the male holding her, 'So then mister... what was it you said? Gorgeous am i?'
'No'
'Oh...' Her happy face dropped, she was confused as to Dante's response.
'Your goddamn gorgeous!' He nuzzled the side of her face trying to provoke a kiss.
Myron stood and slapped his forehead into his hand, 'And then he goes and pulls some cheesy crap like that outta his ass, why that worked i'll never know.' Rafeile just chuckled.
Elle giggled, she couldn't believe her luck, not only had she managed to get in with this guy but he'd made a mircale change from an over proud but bashful Nido, to some smooth talking love genius over night, what had happened? Alothough for the moment she really didnt care' she was with him and he was with her.
'Argh, I can't watch this' Rictor snoted throwing his head to the side and rolling his eyes.
Suddenly Elle broke away from Dante's grasp looking flustered and angry, 'Well no ones asking you to!' She walked up to him, 'why can't you trust anyone? Just coz one guy was an asshole doesnt mean Dante is! Your just like dad so over protective, up to the freaking point where you push everyone away! Look what happened to Angie...'
Rictor looked round and glared at his sister, 'shut up'
She carried on as the other three males exchanged worried looks, 'you just couldn't let it go with her, everyone said she wasn't faithful to you and did you ask her no... you let it brood coz your stupid!'
'Shut...up'
'Your idiotic'
'...'
'Thick headed'
'...' he growled low.
'And pathetic...'
With a half cracking and slapping sound Elle stumbled backwards holding her face with Rictor advancing on her, she was in complete shock as she took her hand from her face and saw a thick red liquid dripping through her fingers and down her wrist.
Rictor's face was full of rage as he got closer his mind completely lost to rage, Rafeile reacted and tackled him from the side holding him against a thick trunked tree Myron rushing to help. 'Dante get her outta here!'

Light rain fell all around as Amber, Zandra and Rocksy trudged through thick underbrushes of the forest floor, the gentle patter of the water hitting the dense emrald canopy that hung over head. Thier journey had been lengthened again because Zandra had insisted they take this route in oder to take cover from the worst of the rainm, she feared AMber may catch something and it damage her and the unborn child.
The music of the rain echoed all around, in the puddles they passed and dripping gently onto moss covered rocks, Rocsky began humming something that sounded suspiciously like "it's raining ot's pouring" she was trying to raise spirits as they moved on.
'Amber?' Amber turned her head to the side seeing her mother trying to make converstaion.
'Yes mother?' She replied politely in a flat and formal manner.
'Well i was just wondering, more to say i was curious to the fact as if you have considered any names for your son or daughter?' Zandra had a certain bounce to her voice as she asked the question.
Amber found this to be quitte amusing as she had never seen her mother this excited about anything before, 'Well... maybe one...' As the matter goes she had given it a great deal of thought, enough to come up with some sensible names, 'I had been thinking if it were a boy how about Lance?'
Zandra nodded her head in approval lance was a fitting name, very proud yet not noble.
'And if it were a girl... Crystal maybe?' Amber smiled, beaming with pride this child was giving her.
'Thats a right pretty name, where'd you think it up?' Rocksy had ceased humming and wanted to get involved on what was going on.
Amber seemed a little suprised at first but sighed and answered, 'Rafeile gave me the idea.'
'But i thought he didn't now you was pregnant.' The confused Nidoqueen scrathed the back of her head.
'Your right he doesn't know, i was just thinking back, he complimented me on my eyes, saying they were beautiful, so i was thinking if its a girl I'd call her Crystal.' She sighed deeper and looked up at what she could see of the dark grey sky, 'Where are you Rafeile...'
