Eclipsed 15: Sir Sparkleypuff

"Here she is, sir."

A bidoof examined me. "She looks like someone the queen will miss. If not, we go after that Vaporeon she raised."

I stiffened. They meant Riptide! Sure, I barely knew him. But I needed to protect him and the rest of my new friends.

"We will make a ransom video immediately. Sergeant, come here."

Another bidoof, a furry one, crawled out of one of the tunnel networks with a video camera.

"Film the Espeon, Mufflebuns."

A giggle escaped me. How come all these bidoofs had crazy names?

"Now you don't make fun of that name, my mumma gave it to me." Sergeant Mufflebuns said with a southern drawl.

I nodded, biting my lip.

Mufflebuns turned on the camera and started recording. "Hello? HELLO?! IS THIS THING ON?!" He tapped the camera a few times. "CAN YOU SEE ME?!"

The General whispered something to the sergeant.

"Oh." He took a deep breath. "Now you see here, Galaxy, we have a citizen of yours. This is an Espeon. We took her from the park." He coughed. "She is one of yours but she will be ours unless you do what Sparkleypuff offered in your visit. So I suggest you get this poor Espeon out of her misery. We have been torturing her by not giving her entertainment. She had been in her prison almost the entire time we've had her."

I looked around. It was true. Having nothing to amuse me was quite horrible. Don't get me wrong, I know it could be worse. But that didn't make me any more happy. I was still hostage to a bunch of morons.

Quirkypants escorted me back to my area. I curled up, trying to think of a way to get out. I thought for a while. Then I decided it was time Apollo learned my secret. I had to know if he and the others were safe. I closed my eyes and woke up again.

"Apollo?" I said, walking over to a figure.

It bolted towards me. "Blossom! You're okay! But how? Where are you? How are you doing this?"

"I can talk to people in their dreams. But that isn't my biggest concern. Did you or any other people get taken by the bidoofs?"

Apollo shook his head. "No. But we're going to rescue you."

I looked at him. "Be careful. The bidoofs have an entire army."

The Umbreon looked at me. "I'd to anything to get you back."

Before I could reply, he vanished. He was waking up. Dream times pass differently than normal time. Apollo's went very slow, but he couldn't tell.
I yawned, waiting to feel the warm sunlight. When it didn't come, memories flooded back.

I sat down and waited. I didn't know if it was for the bidoof or Apollo. Apollo! Biting my lip, I wondered if I would ever see him again.
