The Bloody Moon

Chapter 3 - Black Fox

 - Liam. - I said looking at him. He was standing there with a black kitsune around him. His eyes were glassy, was he crying?

- So it was you.

- Liam listen to me.

- I didn't want this. I said that I never want to be involved in your shit. Then I wake up like this. Fix it.

- You know I can't.

- I don't fucking care. I want my life back. - throughout this whole conversation he was getting closer, and closer to me, until he blocked me between the wall and his eyes.

- Liam look at me. Do you really think that I wanted to get back to this? Are you serious? I didn't do this to you.

- Then why am I your fox?

- It was my tail, yes. But it wasn't me who relived the spirit.

- Fuck. - He squatted in front of the room and put his hands on his head. He was devastated, he knew his life won't be the same. Neither was mine. - Now I don't have anybody to blame. What should I do? - He was talking to himself. I came closer and started to rub his back.

- Liam, you can do this. Can we talk like normal human beings, I think we have things to talk about. - He then hid his kitsune look and left for the living room. He knew everything about the foxes and learned some techniques years ago from me. I did the same thing and hid my kitsune.

We were sitting in front of each other. All the memories came back when I looked at him. This tall, muscular man with dark brown eyes and messy black hair was staring at me. He looked exactly the same. The same possessive look, the same harsh hands and the same annoying, repulsive character.

- You changed your hair. - he said and I smiled.

- Wow, different hair is always the topic to start with.

- How are you? I know you had some problems.

 -How do you know that?

- I bumped into your step dad, I mean Splinter a while ago and we talked about some things.

- I'm fine... - Looking at him didn't just bring all the memories back but also my emotions towards him. The anger I had inside of me for those 4 years. - Why? Why didn't you come? - I started crying and screaming at him. - Even after we broke up, we were still friends and one argument shouldn't end this. All of us. You didn't come, and the worst part is that you left me alone. I was left completely alone. Why?!

- I tried.

- You tried. Fuck you Liam.

- I did come. I mean I was at the parking lot, I just couldn't go there. I screw up Lora.

- What do you mean?

- That day after the incident happened, I got a call. Police called me to identify some guns at the crime scene, at that moment I didn't really know what happened. When I got there and saw the weapons I realized that they were mine, the ones that were stolen a month before. I saw all the bodies and then it hit me. When I tried to find you and ran out of the building I saw you on top of the other roof, screaming on your knees with Splinter. The aurora borealis appeared in the sky in warm colors and it began to rain although there weren't many clouds. I knew they had died and it was from my guns.

- And you never told me. - Tears ran down my cheeks.

- I'm sorry Lora.

- It isn't your fault Liam. You shouldn't have blamed yourself for the last four years...

- Yeah, I know. - we were silent for a short sec just staring at each other - So, how did we end up like this?

- Like what?
