Fandom A Chance Meeting at Ilex Forest

[AmethystRoze]

Dangit.. I could have him forget it... no She floated down looking rather defeated. "Awww you found me." she said though she still wore a smile.

 

[JessieSune]

"Golly! Danielle, you almost fooled me! Did you let me win?" He giggles.

 

[AmethystRoze]

"Nope! you won fair and square." She said running to and nuzzling him some.

 

[JessieSune]

He looks surprised, but pleased.

"I won! Yay!" He wraps Danielle in a big hug.

"What's the occasion?" Says a familiar voice.

 

[AmethystRoze]

"Mommy! you're awake" She said running up to her mommy and nuzzling her, Seemingly have forgotten about what she had learned.

 

[JessieSune]

"I overslept, I'm afraid. I'll go get you breakfast, my dears."

Balaa turns around to leave.

 

[AmethystRoze]

She was made slightly glum at the sight of her Mother not feeling great. "Can I we come with you mommy?" She asked berfore she left.

 

[JessieSune]

"Sure, sweetheart," she replies, pausing so Danielle can catch up.

 

[AmethystRoze]

She climbed on top of Mommy, and helped Simon do the same. "Mommy? Are you feeling ok?" She asked, though she was afraid of the answer.

 

[JessieSune]

A deep sigh precedes her reply.

"I have been better, sweetheart."

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle hangs her head at this. Poor mommy..... She thought lying down on her back. Despite her guilty feelings Maleas words rang through her head. "Her hearts not in the right place... Stop it stupid head, mommies a hero

 

[JessieSune]

She looks back and smiles a little.

"You have done nothing wrong, my treasure. Do not feel badly because of me."

Simon is quiet -- he doesn't know what to say and so has the sense to keep quiet.

"I am going to ask you to train on me some more today," she adds gently.

 

[AmethystRoze]

And there it was.... She didn't want to, but mommy seemed so sad..... if she wanted to do it it wasn't wrong was it? "Ok mommy"

 

[JessieSune]

A few minutes later the Ninetales has gathered some berries and placed them near the center of the cave. La'ir has returned by now. Balaa looks him over, then licks him on the nose. As she does so, all emotion drains from his face and he stands stock still. Balaa nods before sitting down with the others. La'ir, however, returns to the mouth of the cave, his expression blank.

"Thanks for breakfast," says Simon, vaguely uncomfortable at the tension in the room.

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle noticed Daddy and felt a pang of guilt go though her, his emotions disappeared.. and poor Simon was so awkward. She ate her meal, not sure what she could say her head seemed to hang low while eating.

 

[JessieSune]

"Danielle, something is clearly troubling you. Would you mind telling me what it is?" The voice is as gentle as it's always been.

Simon, having had his fill, goes to where La'ir is and uses the Lucario as a vantage point from which to see the horizon. La'ir, empty-minded, does not move.

 

[AmethystRoze]

She didn't know how to respond... I don't want to hurt mommies feelings, and I cant tell her about Aunt Malea. "I'm fine mommy!" She said putting on a happy face and eating some more, hoping she would forget about it.

 

[JessieSune]

Balaa nods. She knows her daughter is lying, but does not wish to badger her.

"Are you prepared to train after our meal? I think it would be very useful for you."

She does not make eye contact as she speaks.

 

[AmethystRoze]

"Y...yeah" She wasn't sure if that was a lie or not, she wanted to help mommy but didn't want to control her..

 

[JessieSune]

The meal is finished and Balaa nods.

"I'm going to try to control your mind -- I need you to not only resist, but instead take control of mine. Imagine my free will is a berry, and eat it all up."

 

[AmethystRoze]

"Ok mommy" She said, though she wondered if she was up for it.

 

[JessieSune]

Balaa's eyes flash immediately -- she hits hard.

"You are mine. Mine!"

 

[AmethystRoze]

She hadn't expected it to come so fast and was taken by surprise.

"I..I am yours?..no... I am...you.."

She fought back, her head fuzzy from the initial assault

 

[JessieSune]

Balaa begins to sweat, strengthening her attack.

"Mine. You belong to me. You do not wish to think -- only to obey!"

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle again wasn't braced for such a harsh assault.

"I.. I don't want to think I what I on... No... You want to obey Me."

She nearly slipped before focusing really hard, sweat forming, she wanted to make mommy happy, she would win.
