Reincarnated: The First of my Kind

Chapter 12: Trespassing in the Foxes Den

Chapter 12 | Trespassing in the Foxes Den |

"This way, this way!" I was leading Mama by the hand to the blue haired girls place, Mama's hand is a bit sweaty but I think that's because she is also very excited to meet my new friend!

"S-Slow down Adam! You're going to fast!" Papa and the armored man were struggling to keep up with me and Mama, for adults they are really slow, I wish they'd hurry up..

"C'mon Papa! Mama and I will beat you there if you don't hurry up!"

Mama and I were pretty far ahead, the trees began thinning out and a small clearing could be made out. It was exactly how it was last time, a nice, sunlit, open area.

"We're almost there!"

"Honey, slow down and wait for Papa and the others!"

"Okay, Okay! Tell them to hurry up Mama!"

The feelings inside my chest were causing me to hop up and down on the spot in excitement. Papa and the rest of his posse eventually caught up to us, and when they did we were off again. The clearing wasn't that far ahead of us when I suddenly stopped in my tracks.

"Wait."

"What is it darling? There is nothing here."

Wait, didn't that girl say something about not coming back here before she dropped me out the window?...

"Is something wrong Adam? Is this where she lives?"

"What is this place? I've explored the most of the forest here and I have never seen this place before. Are you sure you didn't just meet a magical beast?" The man in Armor was getting considerably agitated, I don't think he appreciates being led around by a child.

"N-No, I-I didn't."

"Then why're we here? Is it further up?" Someone in Papa's group of people spoke up and started walking into the clearing. From where we stood it looked pretty, a clearing full of beautiful flowers with the light from the sun shining through the canopy of the trees. But I knew that once you stepped out of the tree line and into the clearing that an entire mansion became visible.

"N-NO! YOU MUSTN'T"

But it was to late.

"Adam, what's wrong?"

Mama shook my shoulders worriedly as I watched the man disappear into the clearing, his body had seemingly evaporated into thin air. Shocked gasps could be heard from all around me, the armored man and father were certainly surprised by the sudden disappearance of the man.

"Where did he go?"

"Adam, what is the meaning of this!?"

The man wearing the armour unsheathed his sword and pointed it towards me.

"Is this your doing boy?"

"N-No it isn't! I promise! He isn't dead!"

I pleaded for my innocence, I haven't done anything wrong and yet this man so readily pointed his sword at me.

"OI, CARL! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!"

Papa dashed to mama's side, spreading his arms out to protect the both of us.

"Your son led us into a trap! He's probably being possessed by the demons that live here, if we don't kill him now we'll all be in danger!"

D-Demons?! Me? Possessed?! What does he mean?! How could I have been possessed by demons, if I never even met any demons!? Can he even prove that I'm being possessed?!
