mommy im going out to play in the woods.
ok be back by lunch erin.
i will mom.
i wonder what i want to do today my friends are all on vacation or out hunting with their families maybe i should try hunting a weak beast on the outskirts of the forest by myself i mean i can already run and hide from them easily so it shouldn't be to hard. I followed my usual path into the woods and started to search for tracks the smaller beasts are easy to get away from but sometimes the larger ones from deeper in the forest come to the edge of the forest for an easy meal so i need to hide if i see any of their tracks.
not seeing any tracks that would cause me concern i decided to continue on and found a ravine through the path not remembering it was their i decided to go around it and continue on the path on the other side but as i was turning i felt the ground under my foot give way then i was falling so far so so far then everything went black.
i awoke with a splitting headache blood was all around me i seemed to be in a canyon of sorts and it seemed to be getting dark i slowly tried to get up but it seemed as though i broke something in my back i started panicking and i dont know why it was like my body knew something i didn't and the only thing going through my head was i needed to get out of the open before night came so i grit my teeth and slowly turned myself over holding back screams of pain then pulled myself towards the side of the canyon luckily there seemed to be an opening close to me. the trek seemed like it took hours but it actually only took a few minutes i finally made into the cave and my arms gave out i laid there crying silently because i didn't want to alert anything to my presence little did i know i was to late i was being hunted by a powerful beast that wanted an easy meal it slowly entered the cave and i saw it.
it was a large majestic looking lion with a scorpion's tail but the head of a human immediately the name of the creature entered my mind chimera a medium grade beast but dangerous nonetheless because of its adaptability i stared in horror as it slowly stalked towards me and as it was about to strike i closed my eyes and waited for death to claim me i waited for what seemed like hours before a voice suddenly interrupted my despair oh it seems as though a little tyke wants to kill something in my territory you sure are brave but bravery won't help you with me! and as i heard those last words i felt a huge pressure slam onto the area i felt as though i was going to be suffocated then i heard a large splashing sound and the pressure was gone next i heard the voice again human are you alright i hope i didn't scare you or hurt you i was so shocked at this point i didnt respond right away i didn't even open my eyes when i finally open my eyes what i see shocks me even more than seeing the chimera standing in front of me was a nine lives fox seeing the shock on my face the nine lives fox laughed and said what are you surprised to see someone as strong as me here dont worry i dont eat humans i haven't in a long time now little human girl what's your name and are you hungry.
i looked up at her and went to say what my name was but stopped for two reasons anytime air went through my throat when i tried to speak it was like knives digging deeper and deeper into my throat and i couldn't remember my name. for the next ten minutes i rolled around in pain while the nine lives fox tried to sooth me and finally i was able to calm the stabbing pain in my throat and she said you must have injured the inside of your throat somehow well i should be able to help but it will cause you immense pain far worse than what you felt just now but in the end you will be fully healed if you agree write yes on the ground if not dont write anything and we can let it heal naturally.
i thought on it for a moment and decided it would be not in my best interest to keep her waiting and to do what she suggests so i wrote yes albeit very difficultly because every finger stroke caused my back to have a spasm of pain but in the end i wrote it and she looked at me concerned are you sure it seems you are more injured than i thought from what i can tell you might have broke your back if so you may die just from the healing you will go through do you still agree . i just pointed to yes so she gently picked me up in a princess carry and carried me to the back of the cave and pushed on a stone that looked like all of the others and i was surprised the back wall slid backwards then into the side wall behind the wall though was very simple there was a bed a simple kitchen and laying on the floor was what looked like a small fox no larger than my hip the nine lives fox noticed i saw the fox and said that is my son he doesn't have a name yet but he will be who heals you after that the two of you will be bonded for life once you wake up you will need to give him a name.
i looked at her and was about to shake my head but she stopped me and said dont please the time i grew up in my kind was hunted for our ability to heal with our blood what the humans at the time didn't realize was if you killed us and took our blood the blood would lose all healing properties until me i was injured but i found a human who was on the verge of death and as i was about to attack him i stopped because of what he said to me he told me good in the end my body will serve as nutrients for a race that's has been wrongly hunted the only thing i regret is that i couldn't stop the humans from hunting you i froze and started crying because this human had been trying to save us and his own kind had injured him and left him for dead no this is wrong and something awoke within me i bit myself and bled on his wounds then i bit his arm and drank his blood as well then looked him in the eye and said in his mind im sorry but this will hurt and used my remaining energy along with the blood i had put into his body to heal him and he passed out.
after the wounds were healed i passed out as well i awoke the next day to a fire going and him tending to my wounds he looked at me and said hi little lavender thank you as he said my name it was like something ancient awoke within me and my body got hotter and hotter until my energy started to leak out and form a cocoon around me twelve hours later cracks formed on it and the first time in milenia a nine lives fox demon had been born he was my partner and my lover until the day he died but its almost my time to join him and the only way to heal you now is through the ancient ceremony of a blood contract will you go through with it i looked at the fox on the ground and then looked at her with determination in my eyes she laid me next to the fox and said son look at this human. do you want to contract with her. she needs you.
the whole time lavender was trying to convince her son he was just staring at me and i suddenly felt i needed to smile and reach my hand out to him as i was doing it his mother went to lunge in between us because he still likes to eat humans so this was a gamble in and of itself but she stopped herself because her son just nuzzled his head to her arm and lightly nipped it so it started bleeding then bit his own leg and put it up to her mouth as he was licking her arm.
