Chapter 5
Faith continued running through the forest until she reached a clearing. She stopped to catch her breath as she looked at her reflection in a pond. She watched the tears flow down her face and fall into the water.
Suddenly out of nowhere, Faith heard small muffled whispers coming from behind her. She quickly turned around to see nothing but trees and bushes.
"H-hello is anyone there?" She shouted in the forest. "Lillie?!"
She got no reply. She looked back into the water. A few seconds later, she heard the whispers again only they were louder.
She turned around again to see a faded purple tail for a split second before it disappeared behind a tree.
"Hey, wait!!! Don't go!!!" She shouted but she soon felt like no one was there anymore. She turned back to the pound and as soon as she heard the whispers again. She quickly turned back around to see a ghostly Espeon.
She jumped back in fear as soon as she saw it.
"Don't worry, young child. We will not harm you" the ghostly Espeon said calmly.
"Who are you? Wait! Did you say we?You mean there's more of you?" Faith said.
" I am Sakura. There certainly are more. Come on out everyone!" She called.
Faith felt a strong breeze. Seven more Eeveelutions appeared beside the Espeon.
The Sylveon in the group bursted with awe when she saw Faith and rushed over to her. "You are such a Cute Charm darling" she responded in a Transatlantic accent. She nuzzled Faith's cheek softly. "I am Lydia."
"Leave the young rug rat alone, Lydia" the Umbreon said.
"My apologies I could hardly control my self when I see a cutie pie like you darling" she apologized as she patted Faith on the head with her ribbon.
"It is nice to meet you. I am Darklight. You must know my twin brother Nightlight I presume" the Umbreon said. "He was jealous that I was one of the heroes that once saved your home from the Dark One and an avalanche. I'm sure you've heard of us from the elders. We have been watching you for some time rug rat. It seems like you've been having trouble with recent bullies as well." Faith was surprised that he knew about Boris and the other Eevees that were bullying her and was about to speak until the Jolteon spoke up.
"Bullied?! This whippersnapper looks strong to me" the Jolteon spoke up. "The name's Biff, but you may call me the "Eye of the Storm." He stood up straight and looked fearless, brave and strong. He began to pace around Faith and started to sing a random song.

"Oh Arceus, can he ever not make him look like a fool for once" the Vaporeon groaned as he facepawed.
Faith just looked completely confused of what Biff was doing.
When Biff finished his song the Vaporeon used Water Gun right in Biff's face. Biff was enraged at that point and tackled the Vaporeon to the ground.
"Hey!! Cool it, Biff" the Vaporeon responded.
"You ruined my spark, Neville " Biff growled.
"Sorry bout that sport. Those two put up quite a fiery fight like a fiery Vulpix." The Flareon replied. "I'm Nova."
"I-it's fine. I don't think I'm much of a fighter like he thinks I am though" Faith frowned.
"Oh don't beat your self up munchkin" the Glaceon said sullenly.
"Weston's right. Maybe we'll be able to think of something to fix that" The Leafeon said.
Sakura thought it over and then got an idea. "That's it Petunia. I've got just the thing" she replied. Neville and Biff stopped their fight and walked towards Sakura. They whispered to each other to discuss their plan.
Faith was curious of what they were talking about. She was thinking of eavesdropping on the eight Eeveelution spirits but she decided not to. After a few seconds, the Eeveelutions looked at Faith and smiled.
Neville stepped forward as he smiled at Faith. We've decided to give you power. Step forward young one" he replied. He backed up back into the group.
"Power? What did they mean by that?" Faith thought. She was just about to find out. Sakura, Lydia, Darklight, Biff, Neville, Nova, Weston, and Petunia all began to glow. They jump up in the air and shot rainbow colors at Faith. The light was not unnoticed by Spitfire, Blade, Breeze, Serena and Lillie. They followed the source of the light. Faith closed her eyes tightly as she observed the power. She opened them and she felt powerful.

The Eeveelution spirits landed on the ground looking even more faded than before. "Now you have the power of the Eeveelutions. You are the one destined to protect Eeveeville Faith" Sakura stated.
"Wait, how do you know my name?" She asked suspiciously.
"Because we've been watching you" Sakura said.
"Stalkers" she thought.
Sakura and the other spirits felt something approaching. "We must go soon, but before we go. We should warn you." Sakura said.
"Of what?" Faith asked.
"If you undertake all of the seven sins we will take your powers away and you must learn to control them and use them when you truly need to" Sakura said.
"The seven sins you must watch for are easy to remember" Sakura continued.
"Lust" Weston said.
"Gluttony" Petunia replied.
"Greed" Neville responded.
"Sloth" Darklight stated laying down accidently on Nova's tail.
"Wrath" Nova replied as she glared at Darklight and burned his tail with Ember.
"Hey!" Darklight shouted.
"Envy" Biff said.
Pride" Lydia responded as she looked at her reflection in the pond.
"Got it!" Faith responded. "But how am I supposed to trigger my power?"
"You'll figure it out. We can't stay for much longer we must go. I'm sure we'll meet again Faith" Sakura said. The Eeveelutions began to fade away one by one. Faith was alone again.
"Wait! Don't leave me here! How am I going to get back to the village?! I'm l-" suddenly she hears pawsteps. Her mom, dad and friends gained sight of her.
"Faith!! There you are! We were so worried something has happened to you" Breeze responded.
"Something did happen" she was about to tell them her encounter with the spirits until a harsh breeze hit Faith in the face. She could have sworn she heard a light whisper from the wind. "Do not tell them about us" she heard.
"What happened sweetheart?" Breeze said.
"Boris battled me" she answered instead.
"We know Lillie told us. The little troublemaker is going to pay for what he did to you and I don't mean with a Meowth's pay day." Blade replied.
"Well we should go back to the village. It's getting late and it's not safe deep in the forest at night" Breeze said.
"Agreed." Blade agreed.
As they walked back to the village, they were unaware that blood red eyes were watching them in the shadows.

Sorry this chapter was late. It could have been done earlier if I was able to focus on writing it. Since it's a three day weekend (I think) I'll be writing more chapters. I hope.
