Kitsune: Bride Of The Nine Tailed Fox- Book 1

Chapter 25

I shot up to the smell of fresh hay. I'm not sure why I know that smell but it's so familiar my nose wiggles. I stretch as my muscles relax and I can see my surroundings more clearly.

I'm in a shed.

I scramble up wiping my eyes as I stumble towards the exit. I pull back the doors to reveal a dirt road with military tanks and soldiers scattered about drinking or playing cards. Girls dancing and as an old tavern across the street plays instrumentals.

I proceed to stumble out as my black beaded cocktail dress falls down to my knees, the sunlight blinds me in the process. But I continue to walk across the street to the bar, people are staring as I slowly take a seat.

"Hey kitten, you wanna see a show? Your awfully pretty." A man smelling of alcohol says to me touching my neck. He is speaking Japanese and I somehow understand him completely. But his appearance was European, possibly American even. An older man with a snow white beard with blue eyes, pale skin and a handlebar mustache. The bartender hands me a shot and I down it without even questioning what it was. It stung and was bitter but it was surely better than being hit on by this creep.

"No thanks I'll pass" I respond in fluent English hoping he understood.

"Oh but we've found one of them freaks." As he says this a group of soldiers charge into the place carrying another soldier. Something wasnt right. The soldier was wounded with a brown sack over his head. He could barely walk as his legs dragged behind him.

Blood dripping from the bag the creep walks over and violently rips off the bag to reveal a young Quinn. I couldn't tell how old he was, that was the least of my worries right now but he almost looked as though he was barely seventeen. As his multiple tails hang low behind him and his white fluffy ears droop down.

My mouth drops open and I gasp in horror.

"Fuck! Kitsune!" I whisper and his head rises weakly in my direction. Something overcame me as I could feel tears form. Was it shock? Fear? Sadness? Me? As I look at him a deep pit caught in my throat making it difficult to swallow normally.

"Awe it's okay hes not one of us! Hes a freak." The man grabs the back of my neck jerking me so that his mouth touches my ear.

"Would you like to see us hurt this freak?"

"N-n-no please d-dont." Tears well up in my eyes as they begin to cheer and take him out of the tavern. Hes still holding onto me as he takes me with him throwing us in a army vehicle as I sit next to kitsune.

I lightly touch his face as warm blood seeps onto my fingers.

"Its alright, you'll be okay." I speak softly, my lips trembling as I try to spot myself from crying.

"Hey kitten dont stand so close, he'll getcha." They laugh as they drive off road to a secluded warehouse. There we all pile out as they drag him inside. I follow as they throw him to the ground.

The crowd around him. mock him. teasing him. They eventually pull out a knife and my heart drops. They began hacking off his tails, one by one as they all took turns in the action.

He had over thirteen of them and they hack them off one by one as I hear his blood curdling screams. His please.

"Stop! Stop please!" I try to rush over but one of them picks me up and holds me in his arms as we move away from the crowd.

"Kitsune! Kitsune!" They cover my mouth as I flail my arms cursing them in Chinese as I kick in the air.

By the time they let me go they were done and blood was everywhere as kitsune bleed and the soldiers walk away. I run over to him and I sob uncontrollably.
