“Miss Eve, Miss Eve!” A sudden voice awoke a lump in a dark blue room. The lump lay in a soft, hand made mattress. To the left of the bed was a mirror, and the right was a black door. Across from the bed was a large balcony. If you were to stand out the balcony, you would be able to see the castle that the lump lived in. The lump sat up, revealing a girl. At that moment the door burst open as a girl ran inside.

“Miss Eve,” She panted, holding her knee’s, “ Your father has died. An assassin killed him. The war has started,” Eve stood up as her long black hair feel onto the glass floor. Her white gown flew behind her as she swiftly left the room, only pausing at the door.

“Thank you Addi. I need you to take me to the lab. Now,” Eve said. Addi ran to Eve’s side, guiding her to large hallway. Eve followed. They crept down three staircases. Addi stopped after the third one, making a gesture to a large white door. She bowed low, her head touching her feet. Eve nodded to her, grasping the pure gold handle.

Five white tables were propped up in some sort of laboratory. On the tables were thousands of red and white spheres. A large machine stood in the left hand corner, which was connected to two small cages. Eve stood taller, smiling brightly.

“Grab five pokeballs and a backpack. It’s time to go,” Eve pointed to the right hand corner, where five colored backpacks hung on dark, rusty nails. Eve grabbed a ball from each table, and a black backpack. Addi did the same, only grabbing a bright red bag.

“Yes Miss Eve,” Addi said, facing Eve. Eve frowned.

“No. You will call me Midnight. Forget the Miss Eve. And you are Dawn. You will leave me now. Do not come back,” Midnight turned to the door, leaving Dawn alone. She ran up the stairs, out a red door, and into a small garden. There, many different flowers and trees grew. Midnight sniffed a yellow rose, throwing it onto a wooden bench. She took a hairpin out of her hair, locking the door.

“Soon, everyone will understand my hate. But now, I need to train,” Midnight muttered under her breath. She threw a pokeball above her head. A small Espeon appeared, rubbing her tail against Midnights legs.

Chapter 1

In a small shop in Verdian City, everything was silent. Too silent for one girl, and so…

An old man was slowly cleaning a diamond in Daddy’s Jewels Shop. A black haired, white skinned girl walked in the store. The man stiffened his back. He knew of this girl, she was legendary. No one could get in her way. This girl was an assassin, except she didn’t work for anyone. She killed on her own. She struck for revenge.

“Midnight. That’s the name. But you already know me don’t you. Have a fun time dieing Lord George,” Midnight’s voice brought the man terror. He looked at her, than shut his eyes, thinking of the past. He remember paying at cristmas with a small girl, always joyful, and her father, full of love for his daughter. He also thought about summer. He would visit the family once a week, eating dinner, making corny jokes, watching the girl play with her barbie dolls. But he hadn't seen their family for a couple of years.

“Eve? Is it really you?” Lord George asked, opening his eyes again.

“No. It’s Midnight,” She stamped her foot on the ground. Lord George jumped.

“Say good bye.” Midnight took a mini pokeball out of her hair, tossing it onto the tile floor. Clink. A purple cat like creature with a red gem in between its eyes was released from the ball. Its eyes glimmered, staring at Lord George. Midnight pulled a long sword out of her white sash around her waist. She put her right foot behind her left, holding her sword in front of her face.

Lord George gasped at her, dropping the diamond. It split in two, both rolling in different directions. He pulled out a small dagger from his sock. He held it up to his face. Lord George dropped his left foot back, looking into Midnights eyes.

"Eve. I hate to do this. But as long you are being stupid, I'll do what I must," Lord George swung his dagger at Midnight's left arm. She blocked his attack, swinging at his right leg. His dagger tried to block her, but failed. Her blade dug deep into his skin. Lord George's leg began to bleed. Badly.

"What do you mean stupid?" Midnight asked, her eyes gleaming with excitment, "You were the one stupid anough to attack." She brought down her sword on his right arm. The dagger fell to the floor making a loud clank. Lord George cried out in pain. He held his right arm carefully. By now, his entire arm was covered with dark red blood. Midnight looked at him intently.

"Think you can kill me do you Eve?" He asked, his voice bringing pain to the girl, "Thats right. Who could, living with such a soft hearted father. Forget him Eve. Remember the future. Don’t strike. I was the only person you trusted, don’t hit me. I knew your mother. She was as worthless as your father. The two wear weaklings. Don’t attack, and I may be able to help you." Midnight gasped, glaring at Lord George.

"How could you?" Midnight asked, her voice rising, "How could you say such a thing about my dear father! You are a disgrace! You here me? A DISGRACE! After all the days we’re been with each other. Remember when I baked you a mud pie? What did you do? Turn me down! Think of how my heart was broken. Now, its your turn to feel the PAIN!" Lord George tried to stand up, only falling on the floor again. Midnight shuttered, raising her sword above her head. She swung down, killing Lord George. His head split in half, blood gushing everywhere.

"Now you know. Don't try me. You don't know who you're dealing with, and the prices are much too high," She said coldly, picking up the diamond. Her Espeon reappear out of the light, following her master.

Chapter 2

Midnight stood on the outskirts of a large town. Many people passed by her, not even glancing back. Fools, Midnight thought, growling slightly, Soon… these people will always look back, fearing me. They shall perish!

She walked up a lady with a pink pokemon running around her legs, getting faster each time. It stopped, stiffing Midnight. The lady picked the skitty up, rubbing its ears softly.

“Hello. Would you possibly know where Lord… Zelk lives?” Midnight asked politely. The skitty yapped loudly, startling Midnight.

“Yes, of course I do,” The lady said proudly, smacking the Skitty’s face, “Be nice! Oh, yes. He lives down the road, next to the Multras forest.” As the lady pointed East, Midnight ran down the street, dodging people of all sizes.

***

Midnight sat on a large brown tree stump. Here she was, the Multras Forest. I hope Max hurries up, She thought, sighing loudly.

“Eev!” Shreaked a bush next to Midnight. She looked up, facing the moving leaves. A boy stepped out, blonde hair coming first, then soft purple eyes. He wore black, all black. A leather jacket was in his hands. Denim jeans were ripped, and torn apart. The boy’s tee-shirt was black. A couple of leaves fell out of his hair.

“Max,” Midnight whispered. A small Eevee popped out after Max, it’s tail standing strait up. It walked over to Max, striking a pose.

“Ev-“ Max paused, Midnight holding her finger to her lips.

“No,” Midnight said, “I’m known as Midnight. You look like a… Shadow.” Shadow looked at her silently. She gazed into his eyes. Their eyes began to glow, both of them rising into the air. A cool breeze picked up, bringing a mist along with it. Midnight and Shadow disappeared into the fog. When the mist had disappeared, the two children were both wearing matching shoes and hats. Midnight stood in a pale white gown, while Shadow wore a white tee-shirt and matching jeans.

“Are you ready?” Shadow asked Midnight, looking at his watch. The didgits were bright, making a small light for the two.

“As ready as possible,” Midnight said, gentally kissing Shadow on the cheek. As far off as they were, you could see Shadow’s face turning a bright shade of pink.
