A/N: The reason I said "may" continue is because later on I feel the fic
starts to loose its flare, but then I decided that it was my story after
all and that you don't have to like it (postive reviews go to your head)
and that I'd finish it up anyway whether people like it or not. Anyway, I
want this chapter to show a little bit of what its really like for Shane to
be dealing with being a human deep down inside and just how the curse
started to affect him. This is quite possibly the most Shane has ever
opened up.

Chapter 12-Shane's Confusion
Katt walked through the village of the humans in her nice human form. Her figure was very appealing to most of the men. She made her way to Mia's house at the end of the village. She was still a little nervous about being a human, and was still learning how to control this strange power.
When Katt walked up to Mia's house the door swung open. "What is it?" Katt asked. Not only that, but she was still in her fur form. She quickly pulled Katt inside and closed the door. Amazingly enough no one witnissed this.
Katt changed into her fur form. She always did in the presence of Mia. Unlike Mia however, she was a young pretty women with dishwater blonde hair. She had all the attractive qualities for any human male.
Mia offered Katt some tea and told her to sit down. If there was one difference between humans and furs that was obvious to Mia, it was that humans often preferred coffee, while furs preferred tea. Katt had a seat with a little worried look on her face. She had no idea what was wrong.
"Shane isn't right." Mia said with a bit of anger. "He's starting to lose it." She said and held up her crystal ball.
***
CRASH! Shane smashed a mirror in his master bedroom. He looked at the shattered pieces on the ground and stared at himself. He smashed it with a single punch, and it left his paw bleeding. He wanted to strangle Fox badly. He went into the art gallery and looked at the painting of Mia as her old women self. "This is all YOUR fault!" He unsheathed his claw and took a large swipe through the painting leaving a scar all over her face.
He wanted to smash all his human posessions, and everything that was human to him. "I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK!" He screamed as he grabbed a large wooden pole. He walked down his eastwing and smashed the statues of the humans. Before he smashed each one he said something to himself. "I never had a past in that life." SMASH!
"I can't bring myself to go back now!" SMASH!
"But Goddamn you Fox!" SMASH!
"You Bitch!" SMASH!
"I don't deserve this curse anymore!" SMASH! SMASH! SMASH! SMASH!
He went into the main hall and looked up at the mural of Mia...the platnium vixen. It was so beautiful. But even the glass mural above him had to go. He flailed the wooden pole up and it smashed the whole mural. Shane ducked his head into his arms as the glass rained down on him. He didn't recieve any cuts...but to smash something so beautiful....
He picked up the wooden pole once more and walked to the lower level and into the eastwing. "If it weren't for these damned things." He whispered under his breath. He raised the wooden pole and was about to smash whatever was in the boxes until he saw the book that Fox had put back on top of the stack. "Beauty and the Beast."
***
Mia and Katt made their way through the woods. Katt had known about Shane since the beginning. She rarely admitted it, but Shane was actually quite attractive. She wanted Shane to stay the way he was, but from what she'd seen on the crystal ball, Shane was starting to lose it.
The perked out of the woods to see Shane's mansion. "Mia, tell me why Shane is acting this way." Katt said. The thought of Shane ransacking his own home was disturbing.
"Shane is now at the peak of his emotional struggle. Listen to this. You know how you think you've lost everything?" Katt only nodded and Mia continued. "Well, Shane just about has lost everything. He has no friends...no future. And what do you normally do when you feel you've nothing else to live for?"
***
He sat in the room with the trophies with a dagger in hand. If it was all over, then what the hell did he have left? He didn't want to go back to being a human once again, but he couldn't stay a fur. This was why he was looking for a way out. Shane was SCARED. Scared of what?
He held a dagger in his paw and placed it close to him. Was this a suicide?
He looked at a the trophies that hung in the room and remembered what Fox had said to him: "You don't deserve to live for what you've done!" and they echoed in his mind over and over again.
"He's right!" Shane said angrily and held to the dagger up to his chest. He was about to pierce himself when Mia and Katt dashed into the room screaming "STOP!"
Katt quickly snatched the dagger from Shane. "What are you doing!?"
Shane knew who Katt was. They'd met before. "Why did you come here?"
Mia walked in behind Katt. Mia seemed a little calmer now. "We came to stop you from making a big mistake." Mia said as Katt put the dagger away.
Shane was silent and then Katt sighed with relief. "Go to her." Was all that Katt said. She was shocked to hear even herself say that. "You still don't know how she feels. Go to her."
Shane was puzzled. "But what if Fox...."
"Do you really think that Fox should stand in the way of what you feel?" Mia said sternly. "Look at yourself. You say you don't want to go back, yet here you are taking the humans way out." She said pointing to the dagger.
"Why would you do this Shane? If you don't want to go back then why would you want to disgrace yourself like this?"
"Its over." Shane sighed. "Its over because I didn't act fast enough. The only reason I'm doing this is because I'm scared."
Mia and Katt both looked puzzled and they both raised a brow. "Scared of what?" They said in unison, almost like twins.
"I'm scared of Fox." Shane said. "He's right. Everything he said was right. Look around you! What do you see? Don't you somehow see yourself? I'm dangerous to rest of the fur-population. I don't deserve to live."
"Why didn't you get rid of this stuff?" Mia asked, kneeling down beside Shane. "Why did you decide you wanted to keep it? Even when I told you that this would get you into trouble?"
Shane shrugged. "At the time I wanted to be human again, so I kept it all, waiting for that day to come. The day when I'd be human again. But then SHE came along." He rasped. He wanted to blame Krystal but it wasn't her fault. "Then I realized that I was meant to be a fox. That was what fate had in store for me."
Katt and Mia were both confused. Shane was using Krystal to escape! Shane was using Krystal to escape! But now he was really falling for her. No, he HAD fallen for her. They watched Shane begin to rock back and forth. "You've changed Shane." Mia spoke softly and scooted closer to Shane. "You've grown. I think that right now your just upset, as well as scared. McCloud hasn't done anything to harm you. I told you that by keeping your posessions and trophies, one day it would come back to haunt you."
Shane sighed heavily. "But what about Krystal? What will she do when she finds out?"
Katt gave a smile and knelt down beside Shane. "Let me ask you something Shane." She stared deeply into his eyes. She never removed her glance. "Do you believe in 'True Love?'"

A/N: This chapter wasn't too bad.... The chapter was called "Shane's Confusion" because well....tell me how much of the dialogue made total 100% sense. Yeah I know, I just kind of threw Katt in there, but I wanted to. I just couldn't make the fic without her. She'll be back in more chapters too.
