#voliera

Or at least that's how it started and now Daze the ralts was all alone and lost in the foggy underbrush. She called out with a nervous voice as she tried to find the group again,"H-hello? Anyone? H-Honey? V-Voliera?" She stumbled over the dark ground.

It wasn't her fault she fell behind, it was too dark to go fast! And She thought she heard something behind them!! She thought that the other two would stop too!

She stopped walking through the cold and wiped at her eyes,"please come back... I don't want to be alone anymore.."

"Do... you want a friend~?"

"Ah!" Daze stumbled back a little at the towering shadow in front of her ,"I- I have friends... but, Who are you?"

A glow lit along the shadow's neck before fading,"Oh, you can call me Tassel! Mama wanted me to find someone to bring to the party everyone has to bring someone! I was so so so sad that I wouldn't be able to find any friends to bring with me...." The shadow loomed closer now low to the ground,"Will you be my friend and come with me?"

Daze shuffled her feet along the ground.. It... didn't feel right but.. she looked around at the dark shadows,"o-okay I'll, I'll come see the party but I can't stay long okay?"

The shadow bounced sadly,"awww don't worry! You won't have to stay long at all!!! You just have to meet everyone and Mama!"

Daze gave a watery smile as the neck of the pokemon lit up brightly with joy revealing it to be a misdreavus! A ghost! Daze felt ice in their veins but tried to stand strong. She heard ghost pokemon didn't like being fled from or it was rude or JUST NOT something she wanted to experience!!

Her eyes started to water again, she missed her team! She should have stayed home! BUT BUT-

"heellloo? You thereee?" Tassel loomed towards Daze's face," You drifted more than I do! hahaha! Come on!! We have no time to waste!!! Just follow me!!" the pokemon twirled around before heading flying off through the trees.

Daze snapped out of her daze and quickly tried to follow, her little legs were really no match for the type of flying this pokemon was doing! If Tassel didn't slow down then Daze might get even MORE lost than before!!

"w-WAIT- You're losing... me..." She heaved to a stop at a cliff as she caught her breath. She hadn't had to run like that in forever as she searched the darkness looking for Tassel.

She seemed to have just disappeared... just as Daze was about to turn back the full moon peaked out from under the cover of the clouds and washed the area in pale light.

Daze gasped loudly and stumbled back. It was a graveyard of bones! At the bottom of the cliff the stones and trees were sharp and broken and if Daze hadn't ran out of breath she would have definitely fallen too! She whimpered and quickly ran back the way she came.
