Drowning In Memories

Part 41 - Path To Forgiveness

My POV:

I looked around the area. I was in a field. I had run for ages, and I just wanted to relax for a bit.

Raven couldn't have been harming people...

He just couldn't...

Astrial showed up next to me.

"Milly, I understand that it might be hard to either believe what Raven did, or forgive his actions, but... he's hoping he can see you..."

I looked at him with fear.

I slowly approached it, beginning to pet it. It purred, leaning into my touch. I smiled.

The Eevee, Sakura, climbed onto my shoulder. I remembered the fun times we had, battling and training until the sun went down.

I looked at the camera with a slightly worried look.

I shuddered, remembering the cold aura I felt from him before.
