In the Shadows of Fate

A Tale As Old As Time

Chapter 8

Changing form

When Chiyo's paws first set foot on the grass of the magical world of belle, she knew what she was dealing with, a strong headed brute with one mind. that says he's the best and all adore him. she knew if a wolf had to fit in she had to change form. "If I walk into town looking like this I will certainly be shot dead, I must turn human." she crouched down and focused on what she was to look like and started to glow. Her purple fur started to turn into a prurle shirt and shorts, her mane turned into long black raven hair, and her eyes changed to a dark beautiful purple. her looks could fool any man or girl. "Ah that's better now to search for the town cause, if I find the town, I find the tavern where Gaston lives." Chiyo began to walk as she heard the town full of talking of the towns folk.

Chapter 9

Drunken brute

As Chiyo walked into the town, she saw many people there all seemed well except for one thing. The tavern where Gaston lives was shadowed and disrupted. As she walked closer she began to feel the darkness growing. "Here it is, the home of Gaston, I must be prepared for what awaits past these doors." Then from the middle of town she heard a gun fire as she placed the hand on the handle. "There is a dark force here, I must find out what this is before I look at the gun fire." She placed her hand back on the door handle and turned the knob. as she walked in she didn't see Gaston but she felt a dark force. as she moved about the room she noticed many of the men staring at her, they all must have been very drunk cause one wobbled up to her.

"Hey pretty girl why not give me a kiss" he said all drunk leaning on her.

"Excuse me get away" said Chiyo as she scratched his face with her talon like nails. His face was scared with three marks but his blood was a shadowy black. "You don't belong here you a shadow."

"Ha ha ha, finally figured it out Chiyo." said a man standing in the shadows.

"Reveal yourself coward." Said Chiyo with her hand at her side in fists.

" Now, now, Chiyo, my fight isn't with you" said dr Falceir chuckling. "I'm just here for a little pick me up, so Chiyo it's time I make my exit and come back later for my prize" he laughed as all the men turned back into shadows and disappeared out the door into the town. after that everything turned back to normal. It's almost as if time has never passed.

"I must find Belle and fast." Said Chiyo as she ran out the door.

Chapter 10

Positively primeval

Chiyo ran though men and woman to get to where she heard the gunfire. Not to find Belle, but to find Gaston and his friend Lafou.

He missed a duck gaston killed and shoved it into a sack with the rest of Gaston's kill. Gaston smiled like he knew he what he was. "Wow you didn't miss a shot Gaston, no beast stands a chance against you and no girl for that matter!" Gaston grabbed Lafou and started to speak.

"I know Lafou and I have my sights set on that one." Said Gaston as he pointed to Belle.

"The inventors daughter, but she's ..."

"The most beautiful girl in town."

"Yeah I know but..."

"Which makes her the best and don't I deserve the best."

"Ya you do but..." Gaston started to talk about how he fell for her ignoring Lafou completely.

Chiyo was getting antsy waiting for them stop talking but she couldn't get close and interact just yet she must follow Belle and make sure she makes it home safe.
