Chapter Twenty: Maple
Brody's dad gagged him as his mom gagged me. I saw all of my friends, family, and acquaintances (mostly acquaintances because I have one family member and about five or six friends) were attacked. I stood there, fighting as Brooke tied my hands back. They dragged Brody and myself into an underground cave and took the gags off.
I immediately started screaming while all three of them flinched and covered their ears. Well, Derek and Brook. Brody couldn't, seeing as his hands were still tied behind his back. As were mine. Derek kicked me in the gut, a failed attempt to shut me up. I still screamed. It just came out as more of a choking-slash-coughing-laughing scream.
"I kick you and you try to laugh? What's wrong with you?" He yelled at me. I tilted my head like I was thinking, then proceeded to annoy him.
"Hmm...Just about everything!" I said, happily. Brody laughed quietly, while both of his parents stared at both of us like nothing in the world could ever be funny. "What? It's true!" I smiled.
"Strange child." Derek muttered.
"I know, right? I don't know what I see in her sometimes." Brody said.
"Hey! I can be normal. If I try...really really really hard." I said, still smiling. "So, what do you guys want with us?" I asked, becoming more serious.
"Well, I want to kill my son for lying to me and you for helping him lie..." Derek Mumbled.
"I, along with someone from your pack-"
"It's not really a 'pack'. That's wolves. Aren't we more of groups or something?" I interrupted.
"Fine. I, along with someone from your group, are going to take over both, the Virginia werefox group, and the Maryland werefox group." Brooke said, very agitated.
"Then, why are we in a cave?" I asked.
"Because, for some reason, you can smell and hear us from a mile away. And he would only save you if we left him free." Derek said.
"Well, you've been seen so...no point in keeping us here. Is there?" I asked.
"Yes, there is." Brody said, looking at his dad. "He's going to kill us."
"No, I don't think so." Said a voice. Someone emerged from the shadows and punched Brooke and Derek. He quickly untied us and led us out of the cave.
"Who are you?" Brody asked, as we ran back to where we were before.
"Old friend of your parents." He said to me. Then he looked at Brody. "Old enemy of yours. I'm Ricky. Sarah and Gavin told me to watch over Maple, and I somehow watch over you now." He told Brody. I remembered mom and dad having mentioned him a few times. How he saved mom one night.
"Oh. So, you know both of our parents?" Brody asked.
"Yeah he does," I said before he could respond, "So wait. You're dead. That's what my parents told me. And they were serious. How are you on earth? And if you can come back from the dead, and both of parents already did, can they do it again? With my brother?"
"I-I don't understand entirely...but no. They have to die in a specific place and be killed by Derek or Brooke. I was so that's how I can be here." My heart sank. I would have to die to see my parents. I knew all along, but I still wished that it wasn't true.
We ran back in silence, to find that everyone was fighting. Some in fox form, some in human form. Brody, Ricky and I all started helping. I saw Delbert lying on the ground, as a fox and ran over. He was bleeding a lot. Too much, for a normal human. Not for a werefox though. I knew he would be fine, but I still avenged him. I saw the person that had beaten him and started throwing punches and kicking them.
Within minutes I had them on the ground begging me to stop. I complied, but told him, "This is what happens when you try to kill my only family." Then I walked away to help other people.

Fantasy..."you're all he has left. And he's all you have left." "I have you, now." "Awe. How cliché." We both started laughing. It was like an unspoken agreement, to be cliché. Probably because there was nothing cliché about us. Two werefoxes. They stare a...
