Thank you to all those people were nice enough to review. It gave me some
confidence and I decided to post a quick little chapter. Unfortunately, it
might not be the best in the world because I'm trying to work on a paper
for school. Well, if it really bad I will repost it but just be nice and
tell me in a review. I hope you like it. Remember to R&R. Love ya all.

Chapter 4
Corina headed up to her room and changed into her typical fighting outfit. She quickly slipped into a dark blue top and a pair of black pants. The pants were fitted at the waist so they would stay secure but then become bigger at the knee to allow for movement. She placed on her heavy black boots and pushed her pants into the top of her boots. After she finished dressing, she quickly braided her hair. Lastly, she slipped her dagger and its sheath on her right thigh. The dagger was an ancient artifact but magic had kept the weapon strong and new. After everything was in place, Corina quickly slipped on her gloves and picked up a black messenger bag. Corina kept assorted ingredients and special items that would help her in performing a ritual. The bag was not heavy and she easily swung it over her shoulder. Before she left her room, Corina began to concentrate and she felt her entire body be consumed in a blue flame. The blue flame forced her hair to grow longer and thicker. Her ears began to grow and become pointed at the end and her eyes began to change focus as they changed color. Her gripped hands slowly felt the push of her claws against her skin as they grew. Corina also felt a slight tugging in her spine as the three tails sprouted from her back. Lastly, her tongue felt the familiar push of her fangs as the forced their way into her mouth. As she finished her transformation, Corina quickly looked at herself in her fox form and smiled to see the fangs in the mirror.
She head downstairs to rejoin her Grandma and Agatha. "I'm ready to go and I was able to think of a spell while I got ready. It should complete the task at hand. Grandma, if I don't return by the early morning then you should come looking for me. I don't foresee anything happing but just in case. Kira will come with me to ensure that I don't do anything foolish."
"Yes, my dear. Do well and make me proud, although I already am." Pearl gave her granddaughter a quick hug and kiss. "It looks like your new "charge" is here."
"So she is and I must go, I'll be fine. Kira, come on, we have work to do."
Kira strutted behind the young witch to ensure her safety. The pair left through the back porch and met the young mutant. While she seemed to be dazed, Wanda was sure that she understood her surroundings and why she was there.
"Come on, Wanda. We must hurry."
It took a half-hour to reach the alter in the woods that Corina's family owned. Corina quickly set up a protective circle around the trio and began the spell that would set the young girl's mind free. She took Wanda's hands into her own and began the spell
"Hope this works for your sakes kid." Corina began her spell as she concentrated on her spell.
Now the memories awake
But the anger in your heart will not take
Those that are bound are now set free
Allow your past clear to be
With her spell completed, Corina slowly opened her eyes as she heard a slight sound from the girl.
"What happened? My head hurts. All these memories.are coming.back. What is going on?"
Corina took the girl into her arms and hugged her. "It is going to be alright, Wanda. I'm here to help you. I'm a friend of Agatha and she sent me to help you and train you. You will be able to conquer your anger but you must be willing to work for it. Do you understand what I'm telling you?" Wanda just nodded as a response. "Then come with me, you are welcome to stay with me or at your old house. What ever makes you happy."
"I guess, I'll go back to the Brotherhood house for now, so they wouldn't think anything has happened to me. Maybe, someday, I'll come to you." The young girl still seemed to be under the effect of Agatha's spell because she was perfectly calm and rational, which she normally would not have been after the spell casting.
"Alright, that is ok but I still need to train you. We can met at 7:30 every night and work until 10. This is good training for you and it will help you with your anger. Meet me at the edge of the woods near the high school and we can travel together until you learn the paths. For now, I'll lead you home and you must get some sleep. However, speak of this to no one. If you do, the training will end and it could be detrimental to your power and your life."
"I understand but what am I to call you." The girl said in an eerily calm voice.
"Kitsu, you can call me Kitsu."
"Ok, Kitsu, you have a deal and thank you. I knew Agatha wouldn't forget about me. She is probably the only that has ever cared if I lived or died."
The two mutants and the cat traveled through the woods until they reached the edge near the school. As soon as they reached the edge, Kitsu quickly ran home and arrived around twelve thirty. She changed back into her human form and quickly went to sleep.
