VENUS, Hein, and Dylan locked me up inside the cave. I knew I could flee or even teleported, but I couldn't do it right now. They blocked all the possible ways of my escape. I wanted to scream, but I couldn't. I don't have enough strength inside me. Looking at Amaya who suffered what she's meant to experience makes me want to blame myself continuously. How come she had to experience and face it alone without my presence? I know how painful it feels to face all the consequences alone. Is this the art of level of punishing one based on how heavy one mistake is?"I knew it," says Dylan. "He already knows.""What's the point of keeping it from me?" I replied bluntly. I closed my eyes, feeling all the energy build up around me. When I opened my eyes, just right after I opened my mouth, strong wind flew them all away from me— making a clear way for me to go out. A tiring body is all I have, and I used this to carry Amaya to a place I didn't know. Traveling with no direction, I guess. This
WHEN Mune stopped punching, I took Amaya and carried her with my arms again. While Yna and Mune are consoling each other, I flee. As a matter of fact, I have been giving them countless problems and will just leave with the casualties on, not even planning on fixing it. At least, before going away, I get to say what I wanted. As I was walking away from Yna and Mune, random realizations hit me one by one. One of them is about Amaya's body. The fact that she's still here, her body is tangible and visible, I think it's one thing I should be thanking. Maybe I was born a masochist. I know how cruel the almighty is, but thoughts about thanking the deity are obvious evidence that I'm a fool. It feels heavy physically and emotionally while I have been carrying Amaya's body which has no life until I reached the heart of the forest. I put her in the middle and closed my eyes. I meditated to get into the deepest part of my mind. Having no experience at all of how I could use the fox marble to b
ONCE upon a time, far from the land of the earth, nine-tailed foxes were born from the mountain, blessed by the forests, and lightened by the moon. A legendary fox with nine tails isn't the only one that is created by the gods and goddesses. Werewolves were on it as well. At first, they were made to be an animal alone. They were just a fox with nine tails, and a height compared to a bear. But Ruyanio, their world where they were originally bound to exist, was accidentally destroyed by an asteroid. The moon spirit made a way for them to still live peacefully, and they found earth. After having to create different creatures on earth, a human was born from a tree. Humans are made to be the food of all animals. Especially their liver and heart. It is to enhance the energy they kept on their stomach. It is most likely called 'fox bead'. But the thing is, humans have their guardians. Foxes and werewolves find it hard to intervene in the human world.
KAGOME perished through the air and left her ashes on the ground. It's a combination of the color red and blue. Moon spirit saw how Kagome managed to engraved her ashes onto Kira's womb. She knew from the start what her plan was. But she didn't stop and meddle.She just watched as all the other spirits did.Some of the foxes from different packs escaped from the dreadful place where their descendants, including the greatest one Kagome, lost their lives.Again, SOME of them. Because nine-tailed foxes almost went extinct.Forest spirit led them to their new home. It's still midnight, so Moon spirit Venus went to land and meet the foxes. She covers the whole area limited to their eyes only. Venus transformed into a human body to conceal her true nature. Nobody is allowed to see her except The One."Foxes, hear me out. I am your Goddess, and I need your trust," she said, but Foxes didn't mind her and continued to walk away.She had no choice, so
MOON lights are still out, so foxes are still in the middle of howling.They couldn't get back to their original form until 3 am."It's so funny to watch those creatures from here, Kent.""Are you enjoying it, Jennie? They're always like that, in the middle of the night. It's just getting worse if it's a full moon," I said and took a sip of Hennessy."But how did you manage to dupe Amaya that you're one of us? She's too fussy to miss that," Ryujin asked."It's easy. She's into me, and I took that as an advantage.""Just don't bite her if you get hungry, old vampy! Haha!" Jennie said and laughed her ass out.Ryujin and Jennie are leaders of their packs before. But their relatives died long ago because of that curse. That's why they went into hiding and live as humans do. But in a bad way. Instead of getting energy from the moonlight, they're collecting humans. It's easier.Their relatives died in a full moon, they couldn't contr
SHE was sitting at the edge of the sofa, crying her heart out, and still thinking about our parent's death.I don't know how to calm her anymore, 'cause I also feel the same way. If only I knew how to ease my pain, I would've done that to her as well.But I couldn't help myself from not meddling. She's been crying for a whole day."Any other plans? Are you gonna sit there forever?" I asked, trying to keep up my cool and not let her notice my trembling voice.I successfully caught her attention. She wiped her tears and looked at me with those glowing red eyes of hers.My eyes widened."What do you want me to do? Dance?! While my heart is still crying out?! THE HELL! HAVE A BRAIN, DUDE!" she said in vexation and kicked the vase nearest to her towards me."H-hey! That's huge!" but still, she didn't listen and threw another one directly at my face."AMAYA! It hit my fucking beautiful astonishing nose!" I said. S
THAT was intense. She gave us all her rules and regulations but there were no consequences at all. So why bother following her then?"Why? But you just said I have to be involved, right? Why are you suddenly pulling me off the track?" Hiro said.I sat on our sofa and looked at him with my pale face."We don't need a weak guy," I said."Haha, that's offensive. But I'm not weak. Are you judging me this soon? I'll show what these muscles can do!" he said. I rolled my eyes upward."Pfft, where can I find those muscles of yours?" I asked while smiling mischievously."Let him join, Aya. What's wrong with that?"
HIRO was shocked to hear about her condition. He thought he doesn't like Amaya, but why does she want him to be hers? His mind was full of unimaginative thoughts.He smiled to his ears. Hence, Aya is smiling mischievously."Of course, I can be yours! I'm all yours! I accept your condition," he said and hugged Amaya tightly. She feels like her body is about to rip in half so she pushes him away."Alright. Let's go, Hiro. You have to take responsibility from now on," she said and led the way."Ma'am, yes ma'am!" he said and saluted Amaya like a soldier.Before they even got to step one more forward, Yna, Hiro's sister, was clinging onto Mune.
WHEN Mune stopped punching, I took Amaya and carried her with my arms again. While Yna and Mune are consoling each other, I flee. As a matter of fact, I have been giving them countless problems and will just leave with the casualties on, not even planning on fixing it. At least, before going away, I get to say what I wanted. As I was walking away from Yna and Mune, random realizations hit me one by one. One of them is about Amaya's body.

WALKING turns into running... and running turns into tears. It was the first time I finally felt the urge to cry. I feel like I'm not ready for what I'm about to face. But just waiting for her to show right before my eyes is an even harder job. I'm so tired of it, and I wanted to end it.This hope that I have been holding onto turns into a reality. A huge slap for Yna who keep on getting into my head, convincing me none could be true. "Hey, you wait for us!" Dylan called for me.There's an equal desire for Dylan and me to find Amaya. This must be it. No one can disappoint me now.Under the tree where no one lives, a tree that seems dead, the smell of Amaya gets stronger. The tears are now harder to stop from falling. Slowly, I walked towards the tree while focusing my eyes beneath the tree. I have to enter the little entrance to reach Amaya and that makes me anxious.Venus showed up. Probably, she finally sensed Amaya too.Just right before entering the little entrance, Hein held my
MOST of us had the same questions after seeing her teleported into a place we couldn't track. "Where did she go?"It's been a week now. But she's not showing us even her shadows, her smell, her voice, or her clothes. She didn't give us the hint or anything, she just left. Should I get mad at her? But what if, just what if, she's just waiting for me to find her?"We've done enough for today, Hiro. It's time to go home. You're not yet eating," says Yna. I looked at her coldly and gently nodded. But still, I continued walking, searching for her sense. I know I could find her, I know she's still there. No one would believe me, so instead of asking for their help, I just nodded. I always nodded and agreed with everything they say. Then afterward, I will continue looking at her— alone. Even if it means I have to crawl under the deepest cave, I would.Since the day Amaya left, I couldn't talk normally with anyone, not even with Yna. I have become cold-hearted, just like what they've accused
THE way he smile could creep even the worm who was just passing by. Everyone took stepped backward, clearly giving their obvious reaction because of his arrival.Inside a mansion, a dark aura surrounded the place. It's like there's a dark smoke that started to get its way in.Finn is not different when he showed up, he just became real. His real fang and monstrous side just came out."I warned you that I'm not yet done!" he shouted. His henchmen came out of his mouth— spitting black liquid that eventually became a whole different creature. He used them to become his protector and shield from their powers."What's the point of killing Hiro? Why are you so obsessed to kill him? Even if you successfully accomplish your plan, do you think Kagome will come back?!" snarled Venus. Her hands trembled but still tried so hard to hide it from him. It's kind of hard to pretend to be strong. Yet, Venus is holding on to the thought of believing in herself. That's the only key she knew to survive.F
"WHO IS THAT?" Amaya asks herself. Ruining the supposed to be "history" among the nine-tailed is like stomping on her reputation. Becoming happy and enjoying it— as it all pours inside her emotions is all she wanted. But this guy came, only to bring darker clouds with thunder rumbling on it— only to bring some dark news. But he didn't have the guts to finish his sentence. All he did is mumble and give threats with no solid plan. Yet, it's enough to make them worried. "Should we give our attention to him?" asks Hiro whose tails are now out but feels jelly. In just one look you will easily read him. Amaya knows, but she didn't tell. What's the reason for pointing out something that couldn't fix within ten seconds? Just to do the mocking? It's no use, and Amaya knows it very well. Amaya looked at him with worries that lies in between her eyes. She caressed his cheeks and rested his forehead on his. While doing so, her hand does the trick to send Finn away. It shocked Amaya to see her p
KAGOME shouted in anger. "He's a human but he seems like a nine-tailed. He has a lot of life!" Kagome stated as she went down to the ground and face Finn. "It doesn't matter right now. What's important now is you're here— we're together."Finn hugged Kagome. He couldn't contain the overflowing love and the bereavement he felt toward Kagome. It's either or both love and lust he felt. Immediately caressing her shoulder, and kissing her neck. Kagome's felt a bit off of what he was doing, she pushed him away disgustingly. "Come on, Finn, it's not important that we're together. It's not you who I wanted to be with.""And who? That Polo?!" says Finn. He shifted into a werewolf form of Nathan's body and gritted his teeth while he is also drooling. Disgusted Kagome pushed him away forcibly. She can't do it before, but she can now because her host is complete. Finn has gone insane. He grips Kagome's neck and lets his claws slide into her cheeks. Surely, it will create a scar on her face, m
"HOW COULD YOU DIE?! HOW COULD YOU?!" I shouted into Hiro's dead body, thinking as if he would answer my wailing call, my painful question. Running dry of words, all that's left are my tears and his cold body. I've been saying goodbye for the past few days without knowing I was doing it for my sake. Yelling, shaking his body, scratching my own body— I was in distress. Nothing left to do. It was the same pain I felt when Kira and Loki died."YOU!" Venus shouted at Olivia, who was still thinking about what I'd said earlier regarding her daughter."Is Yna okay?""YOU DARED TO ASK THAT?!""Stop acting as if it wasn't you who took out Kagome's heart! Stop acting as if you're not the one who has killed Hiro!" I snarled.Yelling isn't enough to show my anger, to deliver my message to her— no concrete actions are available to show it to them. Ugh, my heart hurts. My chest compresses so tight, my belly is moving so fast. I know what's next— it's our baby forcibly coming out. I wanted to ask
"ANGELINA!" Hiro shouted, pushing Yna away from me. He held me closer to him. Between his arms, he enveloped me. The way his voice raised scared me as well. Yna breathes heavily in an attempt to stop herself from shouting and doing something that could hurt me and irritate Hiro. I could've just stared at them, doing the conversation, saving me from humiliation. I could've let Hiro do the talking, and scolded Yna because of what she did that I don't even understand. Standing like a statue here won't do. Gently, I removed Hiro's arms wrapped around my shoulder. Facing Yna, I examined her. I looked around. "What did I do to him? Scratch his face? Slit his throat? Even cut his wrist? How did I do that when I'm here, unconscious, gaining back the energy I lost the last time I made a contact with the enemy?" I say, crossing my arms across my chest. I looked at Yna fiercely and examined her. "You don't have to know about it—" Hiro says, and I cut him into talking before the stupid repress
