*The embers of the flames had long gone out and I was now staring at the ashes from the flames. My violet eyes glowed on the dark as I breathed in the sooty smell. This bring back memories still ohh so fresh. I leaned my head against the warm brick fireplace and closed my eyes briefly. My mind began to drift off thinking as to what life would have been like if I hadn't have been formed as a familiar then who would I have been? Would my life have been one of luxery, poverty, or would I have been a slave only, one that has the relief of death at my door. One with a soul. Wait do familiars even have souls? Hmm...that is...questionable. Why am I even contemplating these trivial matters? I wasn't born as such so I shouldn't have to contemplate that, it's not like I even have a sweet relief of death to take in another life or an eternal one of heaven or hell. I felt my body being shaken. No, I don't want to go back to reality just yet, I want to remain where I am at. It feels kinda nice. Although where is here? I am not in the grey zone, so where?*

"Ughh this girl sleeps like the dead!!!"

"Mabye she is dead."

"I am not dead. I can't die even if I slit my throat or stabbed my heart, it would just heal over or the weapon would pass right through."

*I opened one eye and flashed a few of my sharp teeth at some of the cooks. I shifted my ears so they were up then stretched my tail out since it was curled around my body.*

"So, what am I needed for?"

"Well, as the head of the households personal servant, you are expected to bring the food, dress and help with whatever else is required and requested of you."

"Unless I am summoned for a specified task, I won't be doing anything."

*I crossed my right leg over my left as I stared at some of the cooks looking at me like I had grown two heads. Or did I? Nope, no extra head.*

"But, but it is require of you."

"Does it look like I give a shit?"

*The cooks eyes grew wide at my remark.*

"Ladies shouldn't use foul language!"

"Ok then, I can change that so I can."

*I began rolling my shoulders and they let out cracks as they got wider and my torso got longer an less curvasious. My chest began to shrink and was then smooth.  My legs got longer as well as my arms both set with more nuclear and my stomach doubled over with the muscle a female body did not posses. My neck got thicker an my nose more defined as well as my jaw. My eyes became much harder set and I re arranged my internal and external body parts. Last my vocal cords lengthened and got much thicker.*

"I don't give a fucking shit on what is expected of me. Happy now, I am now a guy so it is appropriate for me to cuss no?"

*The cooks looked like they were about to puck or faint.*

"D..demon!"

"No, I am not I am a familiar ad as such I can hurt you by orders. Hmm. So this I what my male for looks like. It is a bit uncomfortable. I do prefer my female body over this male one."

*My body began to revert back to my female form which was more preferred for me. I could maintain my male form with ease if I wanted too so that was something I would hold onto for later reference.*

"I do have a question for you two."

"Y..yes, what is it?"

"Why do you not give my current mistress a gender when speaking?"

"Well, umm as you know...well."

"Is it so hard to just choose one and go with it? I mean I would know who you at stalking about in the end."

"Well I, suppose not."

"Mhmmm, very good. Well bye I will let you get to your job."

*I got up and began walking out I the kitchen then shifted to my fox form for easier mobility. The twin flames still tipped my tail adding a certain elegance to my look which I rather liked. I moved away from the cloths now on the floor and padded down the hallways on silent paws with no clacking of nails on tile. Several servants veered away from me as they saw me pass by. They all seemed rather scared. I soon came upon the maid which had dressed me yesterday and she had a easy going happy smile splayed upon her lips as she picked my up and held me. I tried to get out of her grip without scratching her since to couldn't hurt any of the servants or household staff, but I couldn't.*

"Your sooo cute in this form! I just want to squeeze you and hold you all day!"

"Put me down this instance I am not some play thing! I am a mighty dangerous and murduring familiar!"

"I don't think so~."

*The maid began carrying my now limp form around. I had long since given up the notion of getting out of her iron grasp. This was quiet a pesky girl. She kinda reminded me of somebody...who was it she reminded me of? Hmm think...Rinja! I looked the girl over and she was a spitting image of her only she was much older looking now than I had seen her last. This must be her second life she is living or a descendant of her. That would explain why I just can't seem to do any harm to her even with the orders in place. I don't believe I could have hurt her since I did at one time know her in a different life.*
