kitsune went back to bed saying she was extremely tired. her parting words were "you go ahead and use up all the hot water" which almost made me laugh but as soon as she left. I hated myself for even thinking about laughing. now I sit on the cold tile floor of the shower room letting the hot water spill over me. I let my wing's out wrapping them around me like a protective bubble desperately wishing to go back to my normal mundane life. I close my eyes trying to even out my breathing. "magnolia?"  the little voice in my head whisper's and a spark lite's behind my eye lid's showing a grassy clearing I look up at the sky it's dark but there are no star's that's how I tell it's not real no star's not real star's real."magnolia" the voice says again "can I ask you a simple little question?" I turn to look for the owner of the voice. "who are you" my mouth shape's but nothing comes out as it sometimes is in dreams. 

"Only one colour, but not one size,
Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies.
Present in sun, but not in rain,
Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.
What is it?" 

the voice happily sings in my head." what is it magnolia!? can you find the answer, no no i don't think you can. what about this one It can't be seen, can't be felt, can't be heard and can't be smelt. It lies behind stars and under hills, And empty holes it fills. It comes first and follows after, ends life and kills laughter. What is it?" I try to scream at the voice to tell me who it is but my mouth moves without making any sound." you're wondering what I am correct? well, maggie..." there was a rustling of branches to my right and jorden steps out.and then he's infrount of me "I've missed you Cheri" he whispers twirling a piece of my hair around his finger. "can you answer the question's maggie?" "I don't know" I whisper." well that is too bad jorden frown's all the kindness and love gone from his feachere's.and his body goes limp falling to the ground blood blooming on his head and shoulder.i try to run to him hold him in my arm's "ah ah ah not until you answer the riddle"  "he's dying!" I scream and the voice laugh's." not until you answer the question magnolia...ANSWER THE QUESTION!" I fall to my knee's "I don't know!!!" "tell me the answer and you can save him TELL ME!" "I DON'T KNOW!" I scream at the voice. "what are you?" I ask putting my head in my hands. when I look up I see a white fox in the middle of the field nine tail's curled around it." I'm the only person who has always been there watching over you until you were ready to be...useful"  the fox smile's baring it's pointed teeth." and now my sweet magnolia..you are"  then I remember my Japanese mythology class from my first year of high school.

"Kitsune often have powerful magic, and are especially known for their charm abilities, Illusions, possession, and Mind Manipulation." my teacher Mrs.suzuki had said. "Foxes, or kitsune, are found all across Japan and are identical to wild foxes found elsewhere in the world, apart from their incredible magical powers. Their cute faces and small size make them particularly loved by most people. kitsune yokai, however, often have many tails."

"kitsune," I say remembering the girl I had met earlier "she's named after you isn't she?you are a kitsune" the fox laugh's "yes," it says I think it will say more but it seems content in listening to me." are you here to possess me?" I ask trying to keep my voice steady "yes" the fox says happily." why?" I ask standing and taking a small step backward. the fox stand's to "I'm only answering yes or no questions"  "do you have a plan?" I take another small step backward."yes" the fox smirk's and raises it's 9 bushy tail's the end's lighting with a familiar blue flame." think about the riddle's magnolia" the kitsune then flings the fire at me engulfing me in the familiar blue flame. slowly the image fade's and I'm back in the shower room a girl with light brown hair's bending over me "you ok?" she asks offering a hand I take it "to tell you the truth I have no idea." I say looking into the girl's chocolate brown eyes. stretching my wing's out as I stand. the girl emeadietly drop's my hand "gifted" she says in wonder"yeah I get that a lot" I shrug. then I see her wing's one light metal sheet's moulded into a wing-like shape and the other a large black scaley dragon wing sending memory's of the other dragonlike person I met."your wing?" I say looking at the dragon wing like it was poison I knew it wasn't fair but it was what was happening.she, of course, thought I meant the metal one and told me a story of how she used to be a bounty hunter of bad fairy's. I nod along not really caring "Nadia!" kitsune round's the corner "don't scare her she's been through a lot already" oh you don't even know half of it.

do you guy's think I should start calling kitsune (the girl) kit to make it less comfusing?
