We finally got to the island again. "Neve! Oh my god! What happened?" said Artimis. "Oh that was from the 2 headed beast. The rest was from random monsters." "I'm going to see if I can heal her." said Aries. "Neve? I'm going to try ok?" I was so weak all I could do was nod. "OK then." He got his knife out and bled on her forehead and rubbed it in. "What is all this?" said Tyson. "I have special blood. I bleed on the persons forehead I am helping and rub it in and if it dissolves, the blood moves to the injured area's and heals it." "Oh I see. That's pretty cool." "Yeah. Well it hasn't dissolved yet. Neve? You ok? Neve?!" Aries listened to her chest no heartbeat. "Dammit! She's not breathing!" Aries did CPR, and mouth to mouth. "Come on Neve breathe! Don't you die on us! Your brother needs you! I need you! Come on Neve!" After about 4 rounds of compressions and mouth to mouth, she coughed."(Cough Cough) Ha...ha..." "Good the blood is finally dissolving." Neve woke up and tried to get up. "Stay down Neve. The blood just now started to dissolve." "O-ok." She closed her eyes again. She was breathing easy.
"Ok everyone." said Keelo. "We are going to stay the night here and head to the village in the morning." "OK sounds good. We need to treat Neve's scratch from the two headed beast. For some reason it didn't heal." Said Aries. Quinn got the medical supplies. Then Aries gave her first aid."OK first we need the alchohol to clean the wound." "Ahh. That hurts!" "Sorry Neve." She woke up from the sting. "Just about done. Ok now the ointment." Neve calmed down a bit. They put some gauze on it and wrapped it up. "Ok. That should do it. Now lets get her comfortable. Quinn help me here." He held Neve until Aries turned and laid Neve on him. Artimis had the covers and covered her up. She grabbed the blanket and turned on her good side.
"Is she really going to be ok Quinn?" Said Tyson. "Oh yeah. She's a tough one. I can tell you that much. I have known her for six years." "Oh. Did something happen at the other village?" "Yeah. The Nue attacked. We already dealt with it though."" I-I see." "Hey Tyson. If I may ask. What are you?" said Quinn. "Me? Oh I'm a....I can't believe I'm saying it but I'm a Nue myself." "Neve is half Nue." "Oh really? So her mom is a Nue?" "Yeah that's why they destroyed and killed some people looking for her. Neve thought she was dead. She just got back from bringing her home when we had to leave again." "I see. Mind if I join you? At least to Neve's old village?" "Sure. That's fine with me." said Quinn. "Its Neve and Keelo you have to convince." "Haha. I'm sure. Thanks Quinn."
It was night time and time for bed. Neve and Aries were still out of it. "Poor kids. They got the worst of the injuries. Wren and I were protected by them." said Keelo. "I may have got a few scratches but, it would have gotten worse if it wasn't for both of them." "Same here." said Wren.
"I have a question Tyson." Said Keelo. "Why now? Why did you choose now to break the curse?" "Uh. Gramps told me something. He said that the next fox princess would have a little brother. He would be about five or six years old when he finds out he is the first fox prince." "How exactly did you know it was going to be Neve?" "About that, I used to live in the village that Neve lived in. I knew her well. She always carried her brother around since he had been born. That is how I figured it would be her. Oh and her hair gave it away too. Her hair reminds me of a fox. I noticed that all foxes hair have some sort of icy color, or colors." "Yeah they do." "Does that mean that Lucia is probably going to be a Nue?" Keelo sighed. "I don't know. Me and the family were thinking about that. He might. When he does we will support him. His mother can help him with things a Nue can do and needs. When he is older Zayla said she would give him a choice whether to live there or live in the Nue village. By thirteen or fourteen she will give him that choice. My brother agreed." "That is a wise decision." said Tyson.
"I wish I knew my parents." "I heard Neve say a woman called you inside the house." "Yeah that was my aunt Trina. My parents were both Nue. I was a baby when they died. I was told they had to be shot down because they were out of control. I don't know why they would unless something happened to me. The reason why Neve forgot about me is because I was...I was kidnapped. My aunt and uncle looked everywhere. I want to stop by and say hi to them and tell them what I am going to do. I mean I am twenty years old now." "Oh really? Your the same age as me then." Said Wren cutting in. "Yeah. I know Neve is sixteen and her brother is six now." "What are you going to do in the Nue village? Do you have someone to stay with?" Said Keelo. "Yeah. I do. I contacted them. Looks like Zeke is doing Well. I don't know much about how Zonan is doing. Yeah I know them. I met them when they visited a few times in the village." "Let's get some sleep boys." said Keelo. "We can talk more tomorrow. Its getting late." So the boys finally went to sleep.
The next morning it was time to depart. Everyone rode the same animals, except Tyson rode on Archer he was able to hold a little more weight than Hazel. "Hold on tight Everyone. Here we go." said Artimis. Up they went and flew. "Ahh. I love flying." I said. "Its more fun than swaying on a boat." "Haha. I know what you mean." said Tyson. "I had to ride a lot of boats when I was kidnapped." "You were kidnapped?" "Yeah. I will tell you about it later." "Aries are you ok?" I said Worried. "Yeah I'm fine. I might have pulled something while I was sleeping." "Sorry is me laying on you bugging you? I can stop." "No its fine Neve." "Ok. Just let me know and you can heal first." "Ok Neve."
They finally got back to the village. "Ok. First stop. Grandma's house." I said. "She's baack." said Aries and Wren. "Haha. She's always like this I take it? said Tyson. "Oh yeah." said Wren. "Here we are." said Keelo. (knock knock) "Hey grandma and aunt Frostine." "You guys are back! Thank god your ok!" said Frostine. "Well sort of." I said. "We are well enough. Grandma grandpa this is Tyson. The one I tried to remember." "Nice to meet you Tyson." said Grandpa. "You as well. My name is Talia." said grandma. "Nice to meet you Talia." Then Gramps said, "Just call me gramps." "Ok then gramps." "Haha. Why don't you kids rest or go through town. You just got back." "I want to check out the town." said Neve. "Come on Aries." "Ok Neve. See you later guys."
Aries and I went to town and looked around. "Man. I missed this place. Oh there's the place I got my pretty dresses from. Lets go there." "OK OK. Calm down Neve." "Hehe. Sorry." We stopped at the stall and the lady was still there. "Oh hello again. Come to look at some more dresses?" I nodded. "Ok. Please enjoy." I looked to see if there was any I liked. Then I saw a purple dress. "Oh I like this one. Lets see if I can find another one I like." I looked at Aries and saw the color of his eyes. They were very beautiful. Aries Noticed and said, "Is everything ok Neve?" "Huh? Oh yeah Sorry." His eyes were a pretty color silver. I tried to find a pretty dress with silver on it but couldn't.
"Excuse me maam?" "Yes?" "Do you have any dresses that have silver on them?" "Yes actually. Follow me. I have some in the back." "Oh ok. Thank you." So I looked at the other dresses and found a perfect dress. I would wear it on dates though since it was too pretty. It was a pretty Blue tinted spaghetti strap dress with a silver waist and straps. The bottom of the dress has silver on the edge of the skirt. "Ok I'm ready to try these dresses on." "OK then. Lets take you to the changing room then." I dressed in the Purple one first, I thought it was pretty. It was a shimmery dress with a green waist that ties in the back and green tank top sleeves. Then I tried on the Blue and silver dress that went down to my knees. "Oh wow. With a little make up I will look gorgeous. I love this dress. OK then. I'm done." I dressed myself back up and went back out. "How much are these maam?" "Oh those are 14 dollars. I will give them to you for half the price. You are a sweet girl. You remind me of my daughter I miss so much. You are also a rare customer. Don't worry its a good thing." "Oh. OK. Thank you." She gave the lady her money and the lady put the dresses in a bag for her.
"OK where do you want to go next Neve?" "Hmm. Is there a place that sells art supplies anywhere." "Oh yeah. Your into sketching now huh?" "Hehe. Yeah." "Ok then I know a place." We walked awhile and he took me to the art place. "Here we are." "Hello customers. Oh hi Aries." "Hi Mr. Mclain" "You know him?" "Yeah. I was friends with his kids." "You must be Neve. Nice to meet you. Aries has told me a lot about you." "Oh is that so. Good things I hope?" "Mostly yeah. hahah." "OK old man. We are here to buy some sketching material." "Oh here let me help you. Follow me." I followed him to where all the drawing and painting stuff was. "Thank you sir." I looked at the sketch pads to see which ones I wanted. Then I said, "Excuse me sir? Which paper would you suggest I use for sketching with pencils and markers? Also I want to pick up some canvases. I want to see how well I paint." "This paper is what you want for your sketching with markers and pencils, these canvases are the best. If you want my opinion on paint I would think these are the best." "Thank you sir. Oh is there any sample paintings I can see that other people have done?" "Actually yes. I have a whole wall of different types of things in the back. Maybe when you are done shopping you want to take a look?" "Yes please." Aries looked at Neve so happy. It made him smile and thankful she is his girlfriend. 'haha. She is so adorable when she is happy.' Aries thought.
Once I bought the stuff, she went in the back to look at the wall. "Excuse me sir? Where is the painting that is used with the paints I bought?" "Oh let me see. Hmm. Ah. Here it is." "Wow. That is beautiful. Paint and picture." "Well thank you young lady." "Wait. Did you paint this?" "Yeah. Its one of them." "Oh. Well its very beautiful. I love the waterfall and the pink color accents the green grass." "You really know a lot don't you Neve." "Yeah well. I always pay attention to detail. I have always been like that." "That's good. I always can tell by looking at a picture what paint or if they use pencil or any material." Said Mr. Mclain. "Wow. I wish I could do that." I said. "I'm sorry Aries. Are you bored?" "No I'm fine. I like seeing you happy. In fact I might ask to borrow some of your art supplies to try a crack at it." "Aries an Artist? Now thats a shocker. I thought you were more into keeping up your sword practice and body shape. haha." "Hey. I'm not that bad am I?" Aries scratched his head in embarrassment. "Hehe. I will let you borrow some later." "OK thanks Neve."
"Hey Mr. Mclain? Did you know Aries has a beautiful singing voice?" "Actually I haven't heard it since he became a teenager. He had a good one when he was younger." "Well too bad he's to embarrassed to sing for anyone but me. He only did it with my two friends because I made him." "Oh so someone can make him do things? That's surprising." "Ok old man. Enough." "Ok ok. Don't get your hair in a tangle." "Ok well thank you sir. We best be going." "Ok well if I don't see you before you go, have a safe trip home ok?" Then we left.
