The Kitsune Curse {Ezra Winchester #1)✔️

Chapter Eight: Ezra

I stood up in surprise, everything that I had seen actually came true. All because I didn't tell my parents what I had seen, the only thing I didn't quite understand was why this Kitsune wanted my parents. What had they done to make this creature so angry? Castiel must have sensed my distress because he had cleared his throat causing me to snap out of my thoughts.

"You must wonder why this creature came after your parents," Castiel said. "That is because your father did something in 2011," he continued. "He killed a young Kitsune mother in front of her kid," before I could say anything Castiel held up his hand. "Your father did not mean to back then, he was so willing to listen to what his father had said that he didn't stop to think about what the consequences would have been."

"Meaning?" I questioned.

"Meaning, the young boy was ready to kill your father no matter what happened," Castiel explained. "He warned your father that soon, he was going to avenge his mother's death."

"But my dad must not have thought that through," Ezra said. "He would never hurt someone like that unless he had a good reason."

"There was a reason," Castiel said. "But I cannot tell you the rest of the story,"

"But why not?" I looked at Castiel in shock. "Surely you could tell me a little more!"

"No Ezra, right now I can't help you, I must help your cousin first," Castiel said and disappeared but not before saying one final thing. "You must go to that abandoned building you saw in your vision, even if it's a trap, your parent's lives are in danger." Without another word Castiel flew away leaving me in a room by myself. I wanted so desperately to help my parents, but I didn't know what to do. Castiel had gone to help Mary, so I was left alone, I leaned against the table with my hand on my grandfather's journal. In a fit of anger, I shoved the journal onto the floor and screamed. Suddenly not only did I feel so useless, but whoever held my parents captive wanted me to get to him and fight him. Mom would never let me use violence for fun, she only ever wanted me to use it to protect myself and Mary. But how could I even do that when I felt like there was nothing I could do? A sigh escaped from my mouth as I looked down at my grandfather's journal only to notice I had opened it to a page. Curiously, I lifted the leather-bound journal from the floor and looked at it. The difference was that it hadn't been in John Winchester's hand writing but my fathers. I took a deep breath and sat down at the table, I read the entry from start to finish to see what my dad had written and why he had written it.

"Dear Ezra," it read. "If your reading this it means your mother, and I have been taken by the enemy, I know you may have felt useless, but you should know that no one is ever useless," I continued to read it engrossed by my dad's writing. "I know you hadn't told your mother and I the whole story, especially about your visions, I know that they're getting stronger." I kept reading. "You're a lot like me in more ways than one, yeah your mother has told me multiple times about how you acted, even when you feel like the entire world is at the palm of your hand," I suddenly found myself engrossed with the entry, my dad seemed to always know who I was even when I hadn't told him all the details. "It's not, I never want you to feel that way, I do however, want you to be strong. I'm also sure that Castiel has already told you most of the story but know you should never give up don't let what happened to me all those years ago get to you, do not let history repeat itself, Your mother and I believe in you Ezra, with love from your mother and father."

I reread the entry multiple times before I knew what my dad was talking about. He had the same feeling when he was in these types of predicaments. If my parents believed in me, then I would not let them down. I figured out what I had to do, first was to search for the man that I had seen in the vision. Immediately I flipped through the different pages until I stumbled across a page that had information on the Kitsune, it still shocked me to find out my dad had killed a creature that was only trying to help her son. From the way it looked, the kitsune can be killed by being stabbed in the heart with an iron dagger. I grabbed my dagger and left the motel room, now knowing exactly where I had to go. That old, abandoned building that I saw in my vision. I began making my way up the mountain; I raced up the mountain hoping to get to my parents. However, as I got closer suddenly, my head hurt, and it pulled me into a vision.

I found myself still in the abandoned building, but I was in another part of it. The place was falling apart, Water dripped from the ceiling as it landed on the concrete. I walked through the hallways until I came across the room that someone trapped my parents in. My mother had been trying to get herself free, but she had been in pain. My father, he was trying to pick a lock on the handcuffs the only problem was that each time he tried I would see him wince in pain.

"You two can try to break free," says the man who had told me to get to the building. "But no matter what you do, they will get tighter."

"You son of a bitch," said my mother. "Let us go now!"

"I would, but I need you both here, alive," said the Kitsune as he turned toward my father. "Especially, you Dean Winchester you were the reason my mother died!" My dad was about to say something when his eyes widened. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, I understood he had killed this kid's mother, but I never knew how much of an impact he had on the young Kitsune.

"How could you have found me?" asked my father.

"I couldn't, I watched you from a distance Winchester, even in that bunker you thought you were safe," The Kitsune answered. "I plotted my evil plan, I lured you here knowing that if I started dropping bodies, you would come here and bring your entire family."

"You got us here, now what do you want?" questioned my father.

"I'm waiting for your son to arrive, and once he does, I will have the pleasure of killing him myself," he continued. "While you and your wife watch in horror, then I will kill your wife in front of you."

"I won't let you do that," my Dad said bravely. "He will beat your ass and once he defeats you, you will be history."

"We'll see about that," responded the Kitsune. Before I could force myself out of this scene, I noticed my mother looking right at me. I hadn't expected her to see me, we made eye contact as my mother had mouthed some words.

"Use the back way," my mother mouthed. "It should catch him off guard." I was about to say something when I gasped and looked around. I was back in the middle of nowhere and in the mountains it was late afternoon, and I hadn't expected to be on this road for a while. I stood and remembered what my mother had said. She told me to use the back way and catch this monster off guard. I hoped she was right because I didn't want to mess up and lose the only element of surprise. Taking a deep breath, I continued my trek until I reach the old, abandoned building that I had seen in my vision. Even in person the place was terrifying it was tall and they boarded the windows up. This entire building was ready to fall apart, at first I hesitated worried that I may not get to my parents on time, though, at the same time my heart pounded, and I had to force myself to step through the rotting doors and into the damp building.

"Don't worry, mom, dad," I said to myself. "I won't let anything happen to you," I walked into the building at the same time the doors behind me closed. "Well, looks like there's no going back now."
