Chapter 58
Naomi for the third time, reached a dead end. But before she could turn and find another way, she squealed and fell back against the dirt wall on seeing the trail of lightening coming at her in a flash.
She crossed her arms over her head and whispered In a trembling voice.
“P…Please don’t hurt me. P…please The dirt on the ground suddenly turned moist with her tears and for a while there was just silence.
It was only the panting of the woman and the silent crackle of the lightning.
Cautiously, Naomi turned to see the lightening morph into the familiar blue haired Kitsune she encountered before.
She was in her human form, in the same attire as her sister and her dark gold eyes raked over her body with an evil glint flashing in them.
“I don’t want to hurt you.” She softly said but before Naomi could say a word, she cut in. “But if you’re unwilling to follow us, I might as well, take you to our territory by force p>
“Why p>
The girl chuckled with a sneer.
“Did it take you that long to figure out who you really are after our last encounter. Are you so dumb or you think the werewolves will accept you when they find out who you are p>
“I can’t deny who I am. But I can decide the people I want to be with p>
“You do know it’s an order given to us, to bring you home p>
“This Pack IS my home p>
“Really?” She sounded amused. “Then why don’t you announce to everyone your real identity. I bet you won’t last a second without digging your own grave p>
“Y…You don’t know that.” Naomi stammered, unsure.
“I’ve lived for several decades. I know werewolves like the back of my hand. We’ve been at loggerhead some years back and they won’t hesitate to shred you into pieces p>
“Even though I’ve lived with them all these years like one of them? I don’t believe you p>
“I really don’t care, Fiona. You’re wasting my time. I’m going to give you a choice and if you’re unwilling, I’ll just take you away by force p>
“My name is Naomi and I’m not just going to leave my home after so many years just to be with you because you’re my kind. You people are evil and I’m not p>
“Heh!” She chucked so coldly that Naomi thought she was going to act out on her plan of dragging her away. “Says the person who has the blood of a pure-breed Kitsune in their veins p>
“Why do you guys want me? I’m just an ordinary Kitsune if that is that? So why are you guys so interested in me p>
“You’re special, Fiona. Believe me, if you were an ordinary Kitsune, we wouldn’t waste two decades looking for you p>
“I need to know why I’m being taken away in the first place p>
“We’re not going to hurt you. We’ve been given orders by your father to bring you and that’s what I’m doing p>
It felt like her entire world froze and broke like shards of glass at her feet.
Her lips opened and closed without words, yet, she found the voice to ask,
“I…have a father p>
Just as Trixie moved her wrist to kill him, Daniel pounced on her, pushing her into the hole where she screamed in a loud growl as she dropped heavily, shaking the surface.
“Bart.” Daniel cried in his inner mind as he ran towards him.
Barton groaned as he held onto Daniel’s furry body, trying to rise up with shaky legs, the wound on his chest slowly healing.
Daniel’s wolf whimpered and he rubbed his snout against Barton’s painfully squeezed face.
“I’m alright…but…Naomi.” He struggles to say, wincing, still holding his chest.
“If you follow me, you can meet him and you can meet other people. Your kind. You’ll be treated the way you deserved. You’ll get the answer to all your questions p>
She smirked when she saw that her words were finally having an effect on Naomi. She had a look of uncertainty and doubt but there was a hint of longing flashing in her eyes.
“You usually have these weird dreams at night, don’t you?” Tina(Kitsune) said with an inquiring look in her eyes and Naomi snapped.
“Yes! I…I’ve been trying to figure out their meanings for so many years! H…How did you know p>
“Fiona, if you follow me, we’ll explain everything to you. You’ll never feel lonely anymore. You’ll never feel left out. You’ll have all the answers you want. You’ll be trained to draw manna from the air and use magic. You’ll become powerful? Isn’t that what you want p>
Naomi wanted answers to her questions. She didn’t want power or the ability to use magic. She just wanted to meet her ’father’ and ask all the questions she’s been meaning to ask for some many years
But…she was sure if she left with them, she won’t be able to come back.
Trixie growled as she dropped into the hole. She morphed back to her normal form and her beautiful round eyes twitched with anger.
She flew up from the hole, into the air and saw the two making their way to the hole. Without hesitation, she fisted her hands at her sides and swished her tail towards them, releasing a long trail of hot flames.
Barton leaped left and Daniel leaped right and the two grunted as they hit the hard ground.
Trixie went after Daniel and he growled and slashed his claws at her.
“Argh!” She flew back into the air and touched her face. Half of it was being disfugured by his scars.
Gritting her teeth, seething in anger, she growled at Daniel who was on his feet ready to attack her while Barton was standing behind her, ready to defend his cousin.
She glanced over her shoulders at Barton and glanced back at Daniel.
“Okay.” She clasped her hand together, in a prayer stance and closed her eyes. “I’m done playing around with you fools. It’s time to die p>
“Stop p>
Everyone turned to see Naomi meekly walking side by side with Tina who had a smug look on her face.
“Naomi!” Barton looked relived but his eyes widened like Daniel’s when Naomi suddenly said,
“There’s no need for you to hurt them. I’ll go with you. Just her lips trembled when she and Daniel’s eyes met. “Don’t hurt them anymore p>
