I woke up in a cosy bed made of hay. I was still human at least, but, one thing was different; I had a white tail that kept wriggling under the silk cloth that was used to cover my body. I stood up and realised that I was naked.
I had the body of a two year old and somehow, I managed to walk ( it is not as if I could not walk). I was in a small room and used the silk cloth to cover my body. I came out of the room and I knew that I was in a cottage.
A mud cottage, for that matter. I walked around and the place was full. there was a small chair at the corner, which was close to a window. I saw a door that was opened and I peaked through it.
I saw a beautiful woman who looked about twenty. she had long black hair and blue eyes and she was wearing a short skirt and a shirt. she was crying hysterically and a man was shouting at her. I listened to their conversation while being on high alert.
"Why didn't you abort that child?"
"I could never. I can't do such a thing."
"Well, now, someone is going to have to look after her."
"I will, father."
"I can't believe you this pregnancy from me for two years."
"I am sorry, father. I …."
"Not another word. You will give the child up for adoption"
"No, how could you do this to your own grandchild. You are heartless and I hate you."
She swept the man off his feet using a water whip. What! Now, that just defied every law of Physics. I was amazed, terrified and excited. I scrambled to the couch when I noticed that she was coming in. She locked the door and her gaze quickly shifted to me.
I whimpered and hid behind the couch. I heard her chuckle and move closer to me. She patted me and that was when I realised a pair of ears that were on my head just like that of a fox's.
"Aw, no, no little one. No need to be afraid. I would never hurt you. It's your cruel grandfather. He wants me to get rid of you."
I snuggled at her feet and she picked me up from the floor and that is when I realised that my life would never be the same.
