Chapter 2
The favor
Chip! Chip! Chip! “Eevee!” It was a Monday morning and Eve was pestering Jackson. Eve was supposed to be outside playing, but she got pretty bored. Jackson was inside the cave making something. He was using his father’s knife. Not only was it a rare kind of knife, it was also Jackson’s last memory of his father. To eve’s surprise, he was carving a branch so it was a perfect cylinder. As Eve tried to sneak away, she stepped on a twig.
Snap! Jackson jerked his head around, to see a brown and white tail slipping away. “Eve, what are you doing?” Jackson raced after Eve. Eve explained that there was nothing to do and wanted to play. Well, it's done anyway, so might as well show her, Jackson said in his head. “This is what I was making.” He threw the branch! “Race you to it,” Jackson said. They both took off running to see who could get to it first! The race led straight into the woods!
But they got to it at the same time. When they turned around, there was no forest anymore. Just… void. They were floating there like nothing was wrong.“Turn around and face me.” they slowly turned around, horrified by what they saw. A pair of eyes were just… there. But something eerie told them they weren’t there either. “W-wh-what d-do y-y-you want-t?” Jackson was terrified. “Relax, I'm not here to hurt you. I need help.” now they were just confused. How could THEY possibly help? I mean, if you need help, call the police! “Eevevoy! Eevee eevevoy!” Jackson understood this as a “who are you?” there was no answer. A minute passed. Still no answer. Finally, there was an “I don’t know… anymore, that is.” now came the real question. “What do you want? And why us, not the police?” “ah, that second one is easy. You are the one. That Eevee is more than it seems. Your journey starts now. That Eevee will evolve into something beyond imaginable. But the first one…” then at once, the void got dark. Like in the middle of a bright day, and then in a split second, it's as dark as a moonless midnight. “It’s better if I just showed you. Close your eyes.” they did as they were told. The moment they were closed, a vision appeared. It was the world. But something was wrong. The moon was fading. Then it was gone. The vision zoomed in on the sun. the moon appeared next to it, and then crashed into it! The sun exploded, causing all the planets to be destroyed. But! There was still hope. The vision rewinded and zoomed in on the world. It showed them! They were the hope!
