Chapter 9

"Evangeline? it was a pretty nice name!"

Crystal kept walking slowly with the woman beside her, she didn't trust this woman at all! how come she's all locked up in her unconscious dream

"Who gave me the name Crystal?" She suddenly asked, they were soon getting near the light

"I did, when you were born.... you were born human! I didn't shift to give birth, I didn't want you to suffer, I did what I did for you!"

Crystal smirked, she could now say this was her mother, the word Selfish ran around her

"Dumping me was for the best!? borning me human, and making me go through pains to get my tails best?"

Crystal's voice was calm but full of hatred for the person beside her

"Yes! all for you! boring you a fox would only make you fix for a thousand year, boring you fox, would indeed bring you tails without anything like pains, but burning you fix won't make you make same mistake I did!"..

Evangeline breath out slowly as she sighed, they were much more near the white light

"You call dumping me a mistake?"

"If you can it that I'll say I don't regret it!"

The woman dragged Crystal by her wrist and down they fell!

***

Soon they landed on the ground... wait were they up? why was up then... dark?! but who cares now?

"How did I get here?!"

Crystal asked as she stared around, it was a big place, they were trees, houses, and... and foxes!!

Foxes?? she's in... her own village?

"You're here to know more about why we aren't called foxes but Gumiho... normal fox don't have nine tails!"

Crystal knew that of course and normal fox don't have any other type of creature to turn into, unlike them who can change to human form, in a pretty weird way

"No males?"

Evangeline had her whole body covered in hoddie as she was walking really fast ahead, she suddenly turned around

Crystal was shocked, she stood still as she didn't know what to say? she wanted to wake up, she didn't want to believe anymore

"What? is this your first time to see someone that looks exactly like each other?"

No it wasn't, Blair and Blake are really identical

"No! it's my first time seeing someone as identical as I am! tell me are you a witch, an angel, a shape or face shifting something, what are you?"

Crystal was scared, could this woman be her? her mother, or fake

"I'm your mother, and I took you back to the past! we are Gumihos! once we turn 25 years we never change features, we are immortal which one one thing can kill!"

Was this woman dead or what? no one was as confused as crystal was

"Are you dead?"

"Oh, so I look dead!?'' Evangeline said as she continued walking, she let her white hair free as she walked ahead again

"yes!" crystal said with a rolling eye, even if she was her mother, she didn't like this woman a bit

"No! I'm not yet dead"

Yet? was she going to die? why would she did

"I turned into human after a thousand years if abstaining from blood or any other thing that was fleshy, I... I then met this man, he was all I ever wanted, I go pregnant and he said... he said he didn't want you!"

Her father? her father was human? she thought there were male Gumihos but it seems like they weren't

"Ok, don't care, where are we going?"

"We're here!, No need to be scared they cannot see us! you can only see them!" The woman said with a smile but Crystal snorted

Soon they were warewolves coming their way, so many, either turning to the wolf or already in the wolf appearance

"These aren't any wolves, these are Lycanthropes, they are the real demons! come!!" She said and crystal followed behind her in a hurry

"These Lycanthropes are our greatest enemies, they would come and take away our pearls, we aren't weak, but they are stronger, they are immortals, they don't have any effects on fire"

Crystal gasped slowly, no wonder! no wonder Dean didn't get burned in the fire he looked fine, he looked okay!!

"They took away our pearls, and left, they took away mine as well, I was so due, I wanted to give birth then, with the help of the weak Gumihos, I gave birth and placed you beside a warewolves house after sharing little of your pearl with me!"

Crystal stared at the woman, her eyes teary and lips trembling! Dean wants her pearl, Gorge wants her pearls as well! and her mother needs it to stay a bit alive

"The rest of us are dead! these Lycanthropes took away everything to defeat the devil, the powers of the Gumihos depend on their pearls, I'm going to give you back your pearl, now that you know what you really are"

The woman said with a deep sigh as she smiled a bit

"My pearl, you brought me here after I used my powers, that was the only way you could bring me, we share one pearl!?"

Smiling brightly Evangeline shook her head as she had a little frown on her face

"I was able to bring you here, because somehow you are the Gumiho of past in short... I didn't bring you here! you brought me here! I'm glad to see you!"

Evangeline said, and closed her eyes calmly "Your father didn't want you because he is a guardian angel, and you are the guardian angel of the future, you can travel through time!"

Crystal father was a guardian angel of the future? she was both a guardian angel and Gumiho? so she was more stronger than she thought?

"Keep the pearl!!"

Evangeline shook her head slowly with a sad smile

"You won't be able to control yourself when you don't have you pearl completely, please take it, but please be very careful, I will always watch over you!"

Watch over her? Crystal broke out in tears, she just met her mother, and.... and she's going

"Mother!" She said slowly

Evangeline's ears went up, was she just called mother? she pulled Crystal in for a tight hug before slowly opening her lips on her daughters lips

A flow of energy passed out of Evangeline's mouth and she soon fell limp

"Mother!!"

Crystal cried out! she didn't want this woman to leave her, she would now be all alone!

"Make right choice my dear, be wise! fulfil every Gumiho's dream! take what's yours, and be yourself, control yourself, and trust yourself!"

With that Evangeline passed out immediately in her daughter's arms
