The Fox (1)

"I'm so confused, you look like you never died."

"I'm Emma, from a parallel universe and 500 years in the future, confusing I know but I don't have time to explain it or I do but I'm just too lazy to tell you."

"why are you telling me this?"

"I dunno, just bored and want to spice stuff up, I mean this is the reason we started this cult, well actually it was more for the protection of the village but that's besides the point"

"can you please make up your mind on what you're saying?"

"no, well actually I could but I don't want to"

"I am just going to leave in a minute"

"alright alright, go to bed and get some rest, you'll need it."

I headed towards the tent I previously inhabited and there it was, my fox mask, just as I left it. So we're back to this?

I got into my sleeping bag and struggled to sleep, all I could think about was Amanda's death, why did I do it? maybe this is all just a bad dream I couldn't have killed Amanda, besides I'm supposed to be asleep from using my blood magic so this is probably just my imagination, it'll stop soon won't it? I somehow managed to worry my self to sleep and when I went to sleep I had a horrible nightmare, the only thing there was amanda looking at me with that look of disgust, I tried to yell out that I was sorry but no words came out of my mouth only my horrible memories like when I killed Oliver or when I ripped off Isabella's arm and then I got transported to each of those memories one by one, the first one with Oliver when he told me I wasn't a villain and then to the one with Isabella where I nearly killed her for making Amanda suffer, I guess I can't be mad at her anymore, I'm just as bad. my last memory is one that I won't forget, it was when I first found the fox mask, not this memory. anything except this memory please. I sat crying and then I looked up and saw myself from the memory doing the same. "I wish I could go back in time and tell you to destroy that cursed mask." I heard a crack behind me and saw someone with ginger hair behind a tree, I rushed over but just then I woke up drenched in sweat and my face full of tears, then I looked up and saw Amanda but she was dead. she is dead! she walked towards me as I crawled backwards. "Why did you kill me Liv? I loved you and then you just murdered me. do you know how that felt, that betrayal?" I looked at her with a fearful look.

"I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to kill you I just wanted you to stop attacking me it wasn't meant to kill you."

she then started to burst out laughing and shouted outside, "hey babe, you should have seen your face when I pretended to be her Amanda, in fact I can show you, come here"

just then another me came in except she was older and taller as well, there is still hope for me! hey wait a minute I'm looking at an older version of myself this makes absolutely no sense.

"you've already met our Emma haven't you, so you should probably know that me and Amanda are both from a different universe"

"oh, that makes sense."

"anyway I've got to go check on the baby so I'll talk to you later." she kisses her Amanda on the cheek and then left.

"the baby?"

"oh ye, you can use blood magic to create children although if it's done with two females it'll always be a baby girl for some reason, you should really come see the child some time."

a child, I wish me and Amanda could have had a child. I went and put my mask on and activated a stealth spell, I then went over to where Emma and the others were and watched them, Nox stealing Emma's coins, Emma getting mad, Isabella laughing at them, if I didn't kill Amanda could we have been happy like that? I walked away as Emma turned around, she lifted a hand and said something to Isabella and Nox and then she was gone, I continued walking until Emma appeared in front of me. "remove your stealth spell Liv."

I removed my stealth spell as she asked me to.

"how did you know I was here?" I looked at her, she seemed taller and she had both her eyes and all of the cracks on her body were gone instead some of them were replaced with scars. "I'm sorry for doing this but I absorbed Amanda not long after she died, I couldn't just leave her body there it just felt wrong so I absorbed her, please forgive me" I looked at her. "I understand." she stood and stared down at me for a few seconds and let out a sigh of relief. "please don't go back to that cult Liv, I don't think Amanda would have wanted you to." I walked past her and continued back to the village, she stood there for a second before something changed in her. "Liv, Stop please, don't do this. it's me, Oliver I took control of Emma's body to talk to you but please don't do this to yourself, you've been through so many terrible things but you don't have to go through another just stay with Emma and the others and they can help you, there's no need to do this." I continued walking towards the villages and Oliver tried to follow me but I summoned a glass wall to stop him. "I suggest you stop following me if you don't want me to kill Emma again." he stopped and eventually I arrived back at the village, I then went to my tent and sat down at my desk and started to write a story to help get my mind off of things.
