The dragon and the fox

She examined the little child from head to toe before she moved her gaze to the girl's father that lay there covered in blood, his insides ripped out spattered on the forest floor. She shook her head slightly shifting her gaze toward the thickest part of the forest.
***
The little child watched the young maiden in deep thought; she wondered what was going to happen to her. She looked toward her father and felt her stomach turn, there was her father coat with blood and marked by the tiger's claw. Tears filled her brown eyes, why? He had not done anything except escape so the slytherin soldiers would not capture them and tortured them. Suddenly arms engulfed her and she broke down, sobbing in the young girl's arms as she said comforting words. After a few minutes her crying decreased and she moved away from the maiden embarrassed that she sobbed on an unknown woman, the young woman just smiled and motioned her to follow her. She stood there debating if she should follow, her eyes landed on her father. He always said 'if you were traveling to a new world, treat it as an adventure', she quickly ran toward the retreating figure.
They been walking what seemed like an hour which was really fifteen minutes, they stopped in front of a little hole in the ground that looked like a fox's den. She looked at the young woman for answers but she just motioned her to go inside, she bend down on her hands and knees and looked at the maiden one last time to see her smile at her. She took a deep breathe and started to crawl into the tunnel, it was dark and she did not see the tunnel end and fell with an "ahh" onto a soft dirt covered ground. When she sat up she turned around to find the same yellow fox with the magnificent three tails, it was staring at her oddly at the ending of the tunnel.
Without warning the yellow three tailed fox turned back into a young woman, without the bright lights she had earlier. This surprising the little girl, why did she transform with the light earlier and not now? Her eyes fell on the berries that lay in a wood made bowl; she blushed slightly when she stomach stared to grumble.
"Come have some berries" the young woman spoke; she handed the blue berries to the child, and watched as she devoured the berries until only the stem was left. Silence descended in the room as they sat on the dirt lost in their own thoughts.
"Child I am sorry for your lost, I do know how you feel. My parents were also killed by the tigers in this forest." She explained her head was turned away from the child as tears filled her eyes threaten to fall.
"Then what happen?" the little girl asked curiously, leaning toward the woman to hear her story.
"The tiger was slowly approaching me; I was too terrified to move. Then suddenly this yellow fox appeared out of no where and sink its teeth into the tiger's flesh. The great big animal tried to shake the pest off but the fox held on, until the animal started swaying and collapsed onto the forest floor-" she was interrupted by the little girl.
"But how did you become a fox?" she asked wanting to know what made her into a fox, this cause the girl to receive a glare from the young woman.
"I will get up to that wait; any way the fox took me to its den where it told me of their story. It was then I asked if I could perhaps be like her, it smiled and nodded its head. On the night of the full moon, we stood under the ghostly white moon inside a circle of stones. Before the fire she and I stood on opposite sides, she took a knife and slit open her palm releasing blood from the wound. She handed me the knife and told me to do the same, I hesitantly cut my palm. She raised my palm toward hers, once my blood touched hers I felt different. I have been practicing how to change from animal to human for over a hundred years" she explained smiling at the girl's astonished face.
"Can I too be a fox" she asked excitedly, the young woman nodded her head causing the little girl to squeal in delight.
"We must wait for a full moon" she reasoned her head light headed from watching the little girl jump around excitedly, the little girl groan and stopped her dance. She plopped onto the dirt exhausted and sad, she wanted to be a fox and live for hundreds of years.
"The next full moon is in two weeks from this Sunday" she lightened; the girl smiled and hugged her around the neck prompting her laughter.
(Two weeks later)
The week had past slowly for the poor girl, she could not sit still. She counted the days until the full moon; her new friend who was named Milisah showed her the forest which she was reluctant to go. She finally agreed when the young woman kept pestering her to go, she had enjoyed the site, it was beautiful and very fascinating. She wanted to stay and soak in her surrounding but milisah informed that the tigers would soon hunt for dinner, she not wanting to meet another tiger quickly told her to hurry.
She afraid of the tigers made her very aggressive getting her friend and her back to the den where it was safer. When the full moon appeared they prepare the ground by placing stones in a shape of a circle and lit the fire, it ended with her becoming a fox. /can you here me? / A voice in her head asked in her mind, she nodded not understanding why she was asking this? In her original form she could heard her in her head, what was the difference- she thoughts were disturbed by another set of thoughts /because Virginia we can read each other's thoughts /
"What!? You can hear my thoughts" she asked all she received was silence, but her head hurt from all her thoughts rushing through her mind. This caused her to clutch her head, bending forward.
"Get these thoughts out of my head" she yelled, the young woman walked toward her placing a hand on her forehead.
"Clam down child, stand up and close your eyes and do as I say" the child did as she was told but her head still hurt and the thoughts were louder each minute.
"Concentrate on thing now little one, it could be anything. Ok have you done it?" the child nodded her eyes still closed "good now concentrate on that one thing and let go of the other thoughts" Virginia smiled as all the thoughts decreased into whispers.
"Thank you" she smiled hugging her.
"You will learn to control your power and other things, now it is time for bed" She pushed the child into the entrance; she crawled on her hands and knees inside while Virginia put out the fire and discarded the stones.
****
The months pass quickly as the two became sisters, they did everything together even shared their life with each other. They decided to pick some berries from the bush located near the entrance of the forest for dinner; they tried to stay well hidden within the shadows of the trees.
An old couple was passing by the forest when they stumbled upon milisah; they having no children took the child as their own leaving Virginia alone in the forest. She fell onto the forest floor and broke down in tears until a voice entered her head. /Do not worry little one about me, be careful and be safe/ This was the first of many mind conversations they had with each other, Virginia was raised and married off to this rich duke.
She meanwhile wanted an adventure, something to quench her thirst for something daring. She was not brave enough to go to a tiger's territory and collect the delicious berries that Milisah had done all the time; she wanted to go on a quest maybe fine her own prince charming. The days past into weeks then it passed into months without an adventure in sight, she gave up on an adventure and lay in her den sulking.
What do you think?
If I was not clear my friend dare me too write two fiction stories in the same story, if you do not understand please review and say so thank you. The next is repeating in 200 years
