Chapter 169: Reason
I used my hand to rub my cheeks. I paused, wait... hand? I opened my eyes and looked, I wasn’t looking at paws right now but my hand, but still covered in fur and then the realization struck me, I was reversing back to my human form.
I leaned downwards as a sharp pain found my chest, it was so painful, it was similar to the one I had before I disappeared but not that intense, the furs retreated and as it did, the pain only became more prominent and before I knew it I was panting and trying to catch my breath, I helplessly crawled close to the water so that I can see my reflection and I did.
My tattoo against my forehead still remained, the crescent blue moon, it was tiny but well defined. I gasped, my silver hair was wild like I just wandered the whole tropical forest for days, seeing that I wondered how the rest of my body looked.
I quickly forced my body to stand. My gown, yes my gown although still covered in it, was ripped in all angles and unkempt, I was a serious mess, at least I should count myself lucky I was back to my human form and it felt weird, standing back on two feet was weird for me, ME a whole human, I was seriously becoming part of the wild, I sighed, may gods help me, I just hope this form of mine last.
I felt my behind, a rush of emptiness filled me, I missed my tails, oh my tails, they were so fluffy and firm. For god’s sake, Yelena snapped out of it! I mentally scolded myself, now wasn’t the time to be worrying about tails!
At the sound of the rustling bushes I turned sharply, seeing the three gangs, I rose an eyebrow, they must think I can’t see them, their effort to hide was zero, the grasses barely covered them, although to them they assumed they were hiding, I could clearly see them without my fox eyes.
I sighed, a small smile finding my lips. "Okay come out... I can clearly see you" I said and in my voice, they came into view, at least it was just the three of them, I wasn’t sure I was really to face the other creatures.
Ava hopped out and the next was in my arms. I held the wondrous rabbit with care, she felt so fluffy. "Oh, it’s you lady Yelena, it’s really you" she started rubbing my cheek against mine in a loving gesture, a warm smile found my lips.
"Forgive us, we know you wanted your space" Gideon said raising his upper body, his features sad.
"No no not at all, I’m glad that all of you are here"
"We thought you were dead" Puma began almost teary.
