Memories of Midnight

Part 13 *Novae*

Vixen fell to the ground the moment the tranq dart hit her arm. I couldn't shake the look of hurt and betrayal just before her eyes closed. The color of them reminded me of my mother. I watched her sleep as my family carried the cage to the manor. At least what was left of it. The second floor had collapsed and a lot of our stuff was lost.

Vixen's last howl caused a lot of damage throughout Spirit Realm. I didn't want what Miracle told me to be true, but by the looks of things, Vixen was dangerous. I thought about how just hours ago I asked her to marry me. Now the sun was setting and my beautiful baby pup was turning lethal and everyone was scared. Including Miracle. Her posture showed calm and collected, but one look at her aura and you knew she was terrified.

Her aura was a dark purple, expanding and contracting. She had never seen this much power and she was the goddess of Spirit Realm and all things supernatural. Now Vixen was here, changing everything everyone thought they knew. We reached the manor and they placed the cage containing Vixen in the living room. No one knew when she was gonna wake up so everyone decided to go and scavenge as much of our stuff from upstairs. I decided to stay with Vixen until she woke up.

I sat there staring at her beautiful face until I noticed her backpack at the edge of the cage. A picture was sticking out of the side pocket. I slowly retrieved it, so not to wake up my baby. It was a picture of a small girl. She was tiny with brown hair that was just above her shoulders. Her big brown eyes sparkled with joy.

Her smile was a blinding white light. She wore a yellow sundress with no shoes on. I turned the picture to see beautiful handwriting.

~Ashley; 10 years old~

I smiled as I realized this was Vixen before she arrived in Spirit Realm. She was beautiful when she was a little girl. I was about to place it back in her bag when I noticed another hand written message in the corner.

~R.I.P you will be missed~

I noticed the handwriting just by looking how the periods and 'i' was written. It was Vixen's. I looked towards her only to be greeted with glowing red eyes. Vixen had woken up, but she was looking at me sadly.

"That was taken the day before I left."

I looked back down at the picture and then up at her. There was no telling how hurt she felt. First everything that she lost in Physical Realm, now me tricking her just to trap her.
