Chapter 7

"I'm just curious to know whether it'll be Wakitcha again or some place else." said Trippz. "I mean, by now, you'd think they'd expect us to believe their target is Wakitcha."

"Most of the time, evil does what you least expect." said Anti-Drug Ninetails. "I mean, the first time we went through this, we didn't know Carta was a bad guy until it was almost too late. Second time, my daughter and Airwing both were kidnapped. And I'm not just basing what evil does based on the last two times this has happened, but the bottom line is you don't know where they'll turn up. If you think it'll be Wakitcha again, it'll probably be somewhere else. If you think it'll be somewhere else, it'll probably be Wakitcha again."

"How do you know this?" asked Aida.

Anti-Drug Ninetails furiously ran out of the room with Fuego following him.

"I guess I'll just find out where they are." said Aida.

"Good." said Trippz.

Hallway.

"Anti, what's wrong?" asked Fuego.

But Anti-Drug Ninetails just kept walking like he didn't hear her.

"Honey, please talk to me." said Fuego.

"YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT ME, FUEGO!" shouted Anti-Drug Ninetails.

"Then please tell me." cried Fuego. "I don't understand and I wanna know."

"Fuego, I was evil." said Anti-Drug Ninetails. "The devil once turned me evil. I was kidnapped when I was twelve. It happened while you were asleep. You remember my fur color and my eyes? My black fur was once white. My eyes were once blue."

"I remember." said Fuego.

"The devil called himself Diablo." said Anti-Drug Ninetails. "In Hell, he told me that it was perfectly normal to feel extremely hot. He told me that Earth was a place full of nothing but evil people. For so long, he pretended to care for me. I was so much of a monster that I believed it so well. But one morning, I noticed my fur was a different color. The white was black and the blue was orange. When I ran to a bathroom mirror, I saw that my eyes were red. Something in me cracked when I saw them. I felt less in control of my body. My heart must have darkened. When I returned to Earth, I betrayed my parents and murdered my father. When I found out Diablo was evil, I rebelled. He asked me who would take me back now that I'd murdered my dad. But I knew my answer. I returned to being an icefox and came here. But when I changed back, the orange in my fur is the only thing that didn't stay. I see it all when I look into the baby's eyes. Those cold, scary red eyes."

"Why have you hidden this from me for so long?" asked Fuego.

"I was too ashamed." said Anti-Drug Ninetails. "And just know this. I'd rather let her kill me than me having to kill her. I would let her kill me because I would never have the strength."
