You shuddered as you tried to bring out your power. The ninth tail, how bad could it be? The same thing as before started to happen. Your shadow stretched and rose from the ground. It engulfed you, freezing you, making your lungs feel like they were on fire. You started to scream, but you couldn't hear anything, you don't even know if they heard you.
But they did, the moment you let out that painful screech both men looked at you startled.
"(NAME)!?" Cole screams, but all you do is let out another strangled cry.
"(Name)!" Shanks yells, running over to you. He reaches out but one of the shadow tendrils shoot out shove him away. Your screams became more and more painful to hear. It sounded like you were dieing, and you probably were.
You tried to look around but all you saw was black, you feel the ice sink into your body, all the way to your core. You try to stop it but the more you try to stop the more out of control the power gets. Your body starts to morph like it does when you change into the Ninetailed fox, but insted of being purple on the bottom and changing to a checkmate blue at the tips, it was pure black. You let out another strangled cry, your whole body burned. Something is pushing out from the back of your mind, it grabs your conscious and tears it apart. You scream again but it sounds distorted. You feel yourself slipping away, all your thoughts, your memories, your emotions, until all that was left was your instinct.
The men watch as the shadows stop moving, in front of them was a ninetailed fox, but not the one they were use to seeing. It's eyes were golden and it's fur was pitch black. Cole takes a step forward, looking at the fox's face. It was in pain, and extreme amount of pain. But there was no life in it's eyes. It was a wounded animal, no longer his sister. He takes another cautious step forward, but Shanks singles for him to stand back. But it was too late.
The fox's gaze moves over to the boy, the boy that should have looked so familiar to the fox. If it was still her. It moves slowly and faces Cole, it's golden gaze piercing into sky blue ones. The gaze the fox gave Cole makes him feel cold, he backs away. The fox growls while Cole's eyes widen.
"(Name)..?" He whispers, Shanks moves to get the boy out of there but it was to late. Before Shanks could even turn completely the fox was already on him.
"COLE!" He screams, everything feels like it slowed down.
Shanks freezes, his eyes widen when the fox bites down on the boy's throat. There was blood, so much blood. Cole let out a strangled cry that distorted when his vocals were torn. Shanks let out a weak gasp as the boy falls to the ground. The fox lets out another scream, sounding like a roar and a woman screaming in pain.
You were in pain, you could taste blood. But why could you taste blood, were you bleeding? You were in so much pain you wouldn't know if you were injured.
"(Name).." Your brothers voice cut through you like a knife, but his voice was all wrong. It made you feel colder, it made you feel sick. You screamed again, you can hear your distorted voice.
"I'm sorry.." The voice says to you. You don't understand, why. Why did someone that sounded like your brother apologize to you. Your heart ached, but you couldn't figure out why. The blood, oh god the blood, that taste. It made you want to vomit, but it hurts. Everything hurts.
"(Name)!" You hear Shanks scream for you, but he sounded so far away. Shanks...Shanks who? Your brother, did you have one? Your conscious fades again, being grabbed by the shadows.
Shanks tried, oh god did he try, to save the kid. But it a matter of seconds he was gone, tears were sliding down the red heads face. He looks back up at the black fox, it looked like it was in so much pain. It's eyes flickered blue for a moment, but then the gold returns.
"(Name)!" He screams, trying to bring you back without hurting you, but it didn't seem like it would end that way. The man let go of Cole's body and stood up, his head bent forward making it impossible to see his expression.
"I'm so sorry..." He said, remembering your warning from that morning, you couldn't control it. You knew this but he still made you try to use it. And now...
The red head looks up just as the fox lunges.
"Oh god, I am so sorry..." He whispers before attacking the fox. In a matter of seconds it was down and it slowly transformed back into a human. Shanks looks down at your broken form, blood all over your face. He then looks at what remained of the closest person in your life.
"I'm so fucking sorry..."He whispers again, his voice cracking. What have you done...
