Shatter Me (flareon x glaceon)

Chapter 21

Ciana began to nudge Amber and Clyde.

Clyde woke up rather fast.

"woa! what! Where!?" Clyde spoke, looking around the dark cave for any threats.

"calm down Clyde, we're safe...but we don't know for how long." Ciana said.

"w-what? We aren't safe?" Clyde asked, tilting his head.

"Anshul had a dream, where one of us were attacked in this very spot...he advises us to move." Ciana explained.

Clyde looked at me.

"how are you feeling, Anshul?" he asked.

"worried, paranoid, and unsafe." I answered him in a serious tone.

Clyde looked at Amber.

"I think we should leave...we're not that far away from the castle." Clyde said, nudging Amber.

Amber woke up from Clyde's nudging.

"h-huh? W-what is it, Clyde?" Amber asked in a tired voice.

"Anshul stated that we should leave." Clyde said.

"huh? Why?" Amber asked confused.

"he had a nightmare, and he doesn't feel safe here." Clyde explained.

Amber looked at Mira.

She began to nudge her sister.

Amber grew really worried, when she didn't wake up.

"S-Sis? s-sis wake up..." Amber said, nudging Mira harder.

Amber didn't stop, even after several minutes.

"A-Amber, she's still unconscious." Clyde said, placing a paw on her shoulder.

"she'll wake up, I'm sure." Ciana said, placing a ribbon on Mira's head.

I looked at Mira with a really worried expression.

Amber picked her up on her back.

My panic then raised, when I realized something.

"wait...where is my leaf bag." I asked, panic in my voice.

Ciana then used her ribbons to give me my leaf bag.

"you forgot it, when you left our den." Ciana said.

I was extremely relieved.

"thank you so much, Ciana." I said, giving her a look of gratitude.

She nodded at me.

"...let's move...before something happens..." Blake stated, and used his rings to light the cave up.

...

Ciana gave me a torch, and I turned it on with ember.

The cave was narrow, and it was kind of hard to navigate.

"Blake...what if there is no exit? What if this is a dead end..." Ciana asked in a worried tone.

"...I don't know...if it's a dead end, we would have a problem..." Blake answered.

I didn't like the thought of that.

"...Anshul...when you were captured...what did they do to you..." Blake asked.

"..."

I didn't answer.

"...Anshul..." Blake asked again.

"they tortured me...mental torture...they forced me to fall asleep, and they made me have nightmares..." I answered in a quiet tone.

Blake stared at me.
