Silver chapter 10

Chapter 10 “Past Regret” (special back-story chapter)


Hi I know I usually put this at the end of a chapter but it's the tenth chapter so what the heck since this is an important chapter I will  write it in (drum-roll) First Person and depending on how it goes I might implement it more into the story or even do a re-write but this is a bit of an experiment it could go either way so I might go back to third person limited and I know I always say this but on this chapter I really do need a bit more feedback I may write some spin-offs in the future but that depends on several things and now without further adieu I present chapter 10


Akito's POV (1st person)

I was out of excuses now I would have to tell Azami what had happened “Are you sure you really want to know”I asked “Yes”she answered “It's nowhere near being happy are you still sure?”i asked again hoping she wouldn't say “I'm sure”that was it there was nothing else I could do to stall “Don't say I didn't warn you” I sighed “What happened after I left. Well I wandered around for a bit but I never went back I was too scared of what would be waiting for me so I just wandered aimlessly and at one point I thought I had found somewhere to stay another town called Solaris it was nice there, so peaceful that they hadn't even heard of the FNK, but eventually I couldn't stay anymore so I was back to wandering and I got as far as Mt. Coronet but then I got caught by the FNK”I told her hoping that it would convince her not to inquire further “And what else happened after that”she asked sounding less certain than before “They interrogated me the normal way at first but when I didn't talk... after that I was put in a Camp and forced to work I evolved there one of the other prisoners my only friend somehow found a moon stone and gave it to me so I could escape”I paused remembering what he had said “The reason I'm giving this to you is that you have something worth living for” “I tried but I couldn't and when they found out that he gave it to me... they killed him”I said remembering his dying words “Then I was moved to a different prison, a lab and I was used there for experiments”I said I paused for a moment to push back the memories “but how did you escape”she asked  “I met Satoru. He had gotten in through a vent but was captured. He knew a way out so we escaped through the same vent and after a couple of days I got him back to his parents” “but then how did you find me”she asked “I was getting to that. I was going to leave but I passed out from a poisoned wound and woke in his house. Then the FNK showed up while we were in the town and killed his parents” “but that still doesn't explain why-” “will you let me finish. So the next day we decided to settle our grudge with them loaded up on supplies and left. Then when we were attacking one of their convoy's and you know the rest”I finished “You're still hiding something”she accused “No I'm not”I lied “What is it?”she asked “Nothing!”I growled in frustration “well if you won't tell me-” “They weren't his parents” “What?!” “What I said. They weren't Satoru's real parents”I said “But how-” “His dad told me, before he...” “Does Satoru know?”she asked “No I haven't told him”I said looking down “But-” “Azami you can't tell him... not yet” “Okay”she replied “But you have to tell him someday” “I know” I had to tell him just not now “If we finish this I'll tell him”I replied before she silently went back inside I stayed outside for couple more minutes before going back in to get some sleep

The next day Takehiko's POV (1st person)

I had found them after a week of searching I had finally found them “for such a unique group they sure were hard to find”I thought to myself now Isamu will- a sound interrupted my train of thought, I looked around and saw a group of Houndour walking it was probably one of the gangs that claim parts of the country for themselves this couldn't get any better. I walked out of my hiding place looking lost and sure enough one of them walked towards me “hey kid you look lost”he said as the others surrounded me “yes could you give me some directions?”I replied putting on my best innocent kid face the Houndour just smiled but before he could reply he was hit by a Thunderbolt and as soon as they saw their leader get knocked out the others turned tail and ran “Hey are you okay”he asked “yeah I just got roughed up a little”I answered “thats good” he said “hey Raiden why did you run off” a Leafeon asked him “I was just helping this guy”he replied “why didn't you tell us that”a shiny Umbreon said “Well he needed help I didn't think that-” “you never think Raiden” the Leafeon interrupted “you don't need to be so harsh Azami”a Glaceon told her “can't you all stop arguing”the Umbreon sighed “sorry about that”the Jolteon said “I'm Raiden what's yours?” he asked “Takehiko” I answered “why did those guys want with you?” he asked “I don't know I've been trying to find someone for a while and that lead me here” I replied not completely lying “well I hope you find them”the Umbreon said before turning to leave “can't we help him” the Glaceon asked “we have something to do ourselves Setsuko”he told her I was losing my chance “Wait if you're going to be traveling in this area could I come with you?”I asked “I won't slow you down”I added “fine”he sighed “I'm Akito nice to meet you”he said not really sounding happy “I'm Azami you already know Raiden and this is Setsuko”she introduced “hi I'm Satoru nice to meet you”said an Eevee...Crap where did he come from!? “nice to meet you” I replied this was a bit more than I had expected, but I could probably handle myself in a fight if it came to it now for the hard part getting that Umbreon to trust me I  sighed internally why couldn't this be a simple assassination then I could've just waited until night and slit his throat heck I probably wouldn't have even needed to wait.


So what do you guys think of Takehiko is he flat-out bad or is there more to his character than meets the eye and I know I made a big deal out of the backstory but I've decided to make it a mini-series but I'll make sure that you don't need to read it to understand this and vice-versa and it will be TONS more tragic than this I've also edited chapter 8 and you should take a look it has major plot impact later on
