the means to an end... or to a begining?

the mark of pain

Nightmares pov:
I was inside a police station, for some reason or another, like usual, but this seemed more serious than any other time, I sat there uncomfortable in the hard chair with my hind legs dangling off of it (note: all pokémon present are anthropomorphic) I had not real reason to be here, other than I was requested, I looked pretty average, other than the huge scar across my face that I got a few years ago... I have no idea what happened, but anytime I'm upset, mad, or agrevated, it hurts, so I do what I can not to feel those, but sometimes I falter...

"Nightmare Astral, I presume" an espeon asked, walking up to me. I simply nodded, not knowing what else to do or say. "Please come with me" she said, walking away. I got up and followed her, I should note that I am taller than her, she seemed about 5' 6" and I was reaching 6' by now.

So anyway I follow her to her office space and sit across from her at her desk, which I noted was dark cherry oak with iron plating that was panted brown, don't ask how I can tell, I don't know. I know something has happened, but I can't find out what. She did something with her computer, probably bringing up my record, then she asked "so, Grayson is your brother?" I nodded "when was the last time you saw him?" I froze at this question, did G do something wrong? I finally decided to speak up and say " yesterday afternoon, but he and comet seemed distracted, and didn't even see me" I have no idea why I said that last part, but it seemed to answer another question she had and typed something on her computer and said "he disappeared last night, almost 24 hours ago, there is no sign of him anywhere" she said. At this, my scar started hurting before I felt anything, and I blacked out...

*three hours later*

I came to and found myself on a medical bed, u looked around and saw lilly in a chair, passed out, I go to try to touch her, but my forelegs wouldn't respond. I started to panic because I realized that I couldn't feel anything, nor move anything. Forced myself to calm down and tried to reason with myself, they probably put me on anesthesia and the effects haven't worn off yet, that is the only explanation I can think of right now, so... Right then a doctor, a leafeon, came in and checked my monitors, then realized I was aware "we didn't expect you to come out of it so soon, sorry" then he left

AN: hey, new story, I will still work on the paths we take, but I don't have ideas right now for it, and this has happened a lot lately, so I decided, why not? Now I will do a side story, but of what? You tell me, go ahead...
