Fox's Name Part 6

I was brought to my room and told to stay there. They didn't want me running around the palace, at least that's what I thought of it as. The room was very nice and homey. It had all my plants in it. Actually, it was almost exactly the same as my old room. Talk about strange. The plants all were fine so I left them and dove onto the bed while shouting, "SUPER MAN!" Landing I laughed. All of a sudden a song came on in my head. I started to dance and sing to it.

"Memory! All alone in the moon light! I can smile at the old days…I was beautiful then… I remember a time I knew was happiness was. Let the memory live again"

The ADD stuck me hard and I immediately swung into a different tune. This was a good thing because I sung the last one like a dying cat (intentionally or course).

"I love you! You love me! We're all one big happy family, with a-" I stopped looking at nothing in particular with horror. "Nooooo! Barney is brainwashing me! I'm going to die!" I'm started running around the room like a maniac until I ran into the bed and fell down onto it. I started to do a breathing exercise to calm me down. "Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale." I did that like for half an hour. I won't go into details about it; I think you'd appreciate that me not telling you about that minute for minute. It would make anyone go crazy. That does not mean that I am saying that I am! So don't get any ideas. (( What if we already did?)) I took a 5-minute nap and woke up refreshed and NORMAL! Feeling bored, I went over to my lilies and picked one up. A couple minutes earlier all of my plants looked fine, but now, this one wasn't.

My lilies were normally white and shone in the sun light, yet, something was wrong with this one. It was wilting into a brown blob. More like transforming. Disgusted, I dropped it next to the pool. "What happened to you?" I had asked the plant. "What is happening to you?" I corrected myself, for it hadn't finished changing. It was twisting into a lump with tendrils hanging on the sides. Looking at it closer, I could see that there were eight tendrils, four on each side. Also, there were eight seeds on top of what I had assumed was the front. "Oh my god!" I whispered and backed away. It was still transforming. Its shape hardened and grew hair. Now it was a spider the size of a child's fist. By that time, I was against the window and couldn't back up any further. It was a giant spider already, but it started to grow. It grew to the size of an almost fully grown watermelon. Stopping its change, it started to come to life. It moved out a leg and another. It obviously was new to its shape. I had hardly moved in that time and stayed still in hopes of not being noticed. No such luck.

It saw me and started towards me. Realizing that escape was almost impossible, I screamed.

"HELP!" I began to scream like the mad person everyone thought I already was. It was about to reach me when I dove to its left and into my bigger plants. "Oh god, protect me!" I cried and didn't realize for a few moments that my plants had made me a shield that the spider couldn't get through.

It must have figured it out to, so it decided to lock me up in it. It spun a web over all possible cracks and left me in a cocooned shield of plants. I cried and cried. At that moment, I heard the door open. I was too upset to open my eyes and watch what was happening. It wasn't like I had a choice anyways; I was locked up in a plant and web cocoon thing.

For what seemed like ages, I stayed in there. I started to get tired and stopped focusing. My shoulder stung and saw that the webbing had leaked through onto me. It must have been poisonous, because that had been the last thing I had remembered.

Sometime later

I was awake and on a bed, but didn't open my eyes. Why did everything happen to me now? I asked myself. I used to have a scheduled life with ease, but I had to change it. I brought it upon myself and I was the only one to blame. I rolled over onto my side; I had been lying on my back before. I thought about how my favorite plant had turned into a beast. It turned into something that scared me more than anything I had ever known of. I started to cry again.

Someone was in the room with me. They heard me crying and came over and placed a hand on my arm.

"Fox? Are you awake." I didn't recognize the cheerful voice and frankly, didn't care. I ignored the voice, hoping that it would leave me alone with my unhappiness. Everything used to be fun, but it all seems to have gone away. I knew the person left me alone because I had heard the door shut.

I sat up rubbing my shoulder. It was sore, but at least didn't hurt too much. I looked around the room. It wasn't mine and had no plants in it. It did have a wardrobe, windows, a bed (which I had been sitting on.), and a statue of a dragon curled around a sharp rock, with a crystal in its slightly opened mouth. I saw the crystal and immediately thought, "My shell!" but remembered that it had been destroyed when Kurama had touched it. Thinking about my shell made me remember Kevic, and that brought to my mind all the bad things that had happened; Kevic slapping me, the spider, and the pain in my shoulder. I threw my face into the pillow and cried. Contrary to my usual self, I was miserable. 'I've changed,' I noticed and removed my thoughts from my mind. I was blank.

"You should keep thinking. It is very amusing." I recognized that voice. It was Hiei.

"You like me being sad?"

"Yes."

"Do you like pain?"

"On others."

"You hate me don't you?"

He paused for less than a second before grunting, "Hn." Can't that man ever answer anything clearly?

"That means..." I began to guess, but stopped. If he hated me, wouldn't he have said so? I think he had been reading my thoughts because he glared at me.

"What happened? To the giant spider I mean. I couldn't see anything."

"A spider? There was no spider. You on the other hand were found in a very interesting state. I am wondering how you ended up unconscious and encased in a cocoon of plants and spider webbings."

"But there was a spider! I remember it clearly." I shuddered. "One of my lilies wilted and then transformed into it! If there wasn't a spider, then maybe there was a lily?" I jumped at Hiei with my words.

"Hn. How would I know? Your room was filled with plants."

"Check again! I have to be right―" I was cut short by a burning sensation in my injured shoulder and everything started to go black. As I faded into blackness, I saw Hiei staring at me next to my bed. "Baka." He muttered.
