Who am I?

I couldn't think of any answers. Everything was just a blank abyss of darkness: my name, age, past, and family. I was pretty sure I had known Shiver, but my vision with her disturbed me. An anxious, unsettling feeling lingered in the pit of my stomach. Who were the men dressed in black? What did they want with me? Did I get away from them? Maybe it was because of them that I lost my memory.

What was going on? My hands started shaking without my telling them to as I raised them to my dizzying head. The darkened forest around me started blurring as a wave of anxiety seemed to cloud my vision. Why was I feeling so panicky over this? My vision was so foggy and mind was so far from reality that I never notice a person in front of me until after I'd crashed into him and fallen on the ground.
"Ow," I yelped out of unknown instinct as I flinched back from the person.

Shiver leaped from my shoulder before I landed and watched calmly from her spot on the ground as if nothing had happened. Her onyx eyes, gave me a reassuring look as she rubbed her head against my side.

"Oh sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going," the boy said hurriedly reaching out a hand to help, "Here let me help you."

"So-erm sorry. Neither was I," I replied shyly as I accepted his hand.

Alright, I was shy. That's a start I guess.

The boy's red eyes met my blue ones and they widened slightly, an unknown emotion flaring from behind his black fringe of hair. The messy raven locks were longer than most boys would have, but seemed to fit the boy as well as the light sprinkle of freckles over his cheeks. He was taller then me by a little, probably only a little older. His dark blue jacket reached past his waist, almost to his knees, hiding most of the black jeans he wore underneath. His outfit looked well worn yet it appeared clean.

"I'm Thomas," he introduced himself awkwardly to me after helping me up to my feet. "Sorry about crashing into you."

"It's perfectly alright. I wasn't watching either," I replied just as awkwardly, hugging myself as the dizziness faded.

Shiver paw-palmed. ~Glac-e-on.~

I gave her a confused look, but she just shrugged and hopped back onto my shoulder, peering at Thomas as if trying to decide who he was or if he was trouble.

"I didn't catch your name," he smiled, though he had a look of confusion that he was trying to hide. It was almost as if he knew who I was.

"Oh... er... u-um..." I stuttered.

Name name name! I don't know my name! What do I say? Okay, don't panic! Stay calm. Um, let me think...
I searched my mind from top to bottom again, but nothing seemed to come to surface. I couldn't remember anything apart from waking on the beach where I'd seen the shimmering stars and the memory with Shiver. I need to say something...
Wait a moment, the stars... That could work...

"Um... my name is Shimmer?" I forced a smile while Shiver just gave me a confused look before shrugging it off.

It could've been worse...

"That's pretty," Thomas smiled. "You know, you remind me of someone I knew once..."
He studied my face with a frown, but ended up just shaking his head. I blushed a little when our eyes met before I bashfully looked away. Thomas shook his head again after a moment.

"No... She's gone," he muttered as if trying to convince himself. I don't think I was meant to hear that. Thomas was still staring at me and I blushed a little more, shifting slightly from foot to foot. He blushed a little when he saw me blushing.
"Sorry didn't mean to stare. How'd you get that?" he asked, pointing to the bump on my head. I raised my hand to the bump.
"I'm not really sure... I just kind of... woke up on a beach with it," I answered.

"What do you mean?" he asked. I shrugged, feeling myself inwardly start to panic from the awkward situation.
"I'm sorry, but I really must be going..." I said before turning away from Thomas.

~Glace Glaceon?~ Shiver asked, glancing back at Thomas as we walked off.

"No idea," I shrugged. "Am I normally... Erm, shy?"

Shiver nodded.

"Explains a lot," I sighed. "I think that guy's a little odd."

Shiver rolled her eyes in a 'tell me about it' fashion. ~Glaceon.~

I noticed her glance back at Thomas the entire time until he was out of sight.

"Alrighty then missy, what do you think then?" I asked. Shiver rolled her eyes.
~Glace...~ she said quietly, looking back in Thomas's direction even though he was out of sight. I noticed a look of longing hidden in her obsidian eyes.

"Nevermind..."

We walked through the forest path for a while in complete silence.

"So... you wouldn't happen to know how to get to the closest town would you?" I sheepishly asked my Pokémon.

~Ceon.~ Shiver said, shaking her head.

"I was afraid you'd say that," I sighed, plopping down on a log and burying my head in my hands. "Now what am I meant to do?"

~Glace...~

"Need help?"
"Gah!" I jumped back, falling backwards off the log as I jumped out of surprise before I realised what was happening. I looked up to see Thomas smirking at me.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," he apologised. "I was just heading back to town and ran into you... again."
Thomas held his hand out for me to take. I accepted it, picking Shiver up as the red eyed boy lifted me lightly to me feet.

"So, do you need any help?" he inquired again.

"Um... you wouldn't know where we are would you?" I asked him.

"Azure bay," he answered flatly, as if we're obvious.

"Okay..."

"Y'know, you're weird," Thomas chuckled, making me blush. "but if you don't know the way to Coumarine City, I could show you the way. I'm heading there myself, so it's no trouble."

I managed a small smile and said, "Thanks."

It's official, I'm socially awkward. Well it is a beginning on trying to figure out who I was.

Done! YAY!!! So, what do you think of Shimmer and Shiver so far? And Thomas? He's gonna play part of the story line so don't forget about him. Hehe *evil smile*

Well here's what I'm going to do, remember the bad guy from the prologue and how I didn't actually name any character? Well I'm going to introduce multiple suspects and you have to try and guess who it is. Anyone could be a suspect, even Thomas. >:) but I'm gonna leave you guessing.

Well bye for now, SMG OUT!!!
