Nick's Cousin Celestial

Nick walked into his house and turned on the lights. He was exhausted from the constant errands he had to run today for his training. He looked on the couch and found a white fox, lying on the couch with a glass of milk. Her blue eyes were fixed on the TV, telling the news about her parents. Nick quietly walked up to her and poked her on the shoulder. She swiftly got up and gave him a kick to the jaw. "What was that for!?" Nick cried. The white fox had a surprised expression on her face. "Sorry, about that…Nick was your name right?" "How do you know?" Nick asked.

"You should know, I'm your cousin."

"You're my…cousin? Celestial Fox?"

Celestial nodded and she gave Nick a dirty look. "You forgot that I was your cousin?" Nick flinched, "No! Not at all!" Nick was smiling taking three steps back. Now he remembered her! The same Celestial that he saw in the car four years ago. Then he spotted the small brown bag wrapped around her waist. It was shaped like a chaos emerald and it shone through the cloth. "That's…a power gem!" Nick said, smiling. Celestial stared at the gem and grinned. "So this is a power gem? My parents were telling me stories about their true power in the right hands." She took out the gem and then took out her sword, the Thunderblade. Its jagged ends were shooting small electric shocks through the gem. Then the blade grew three times its average size and Celestial wielded the heavy blade.

Nick stared in astonishment, if the blue gem gave the holder great wisdom, then maybe he should give it to Jerry Tomcat. He then saw the news and his smile faded. Celestial's parents were brutally murdered, and Nick had a good idea who it was. Zack Fox, his older brother and rival. He then wondered if Celestial managed to swipe it off one of the Killer Six's villains. He decided that he better let Celestial live with him, at least until she's old enough to live on her own. Just then Celestial's stomach growled loudly, and she groaned. "Where do you even keep the food?" she muttered. "In the fridge of course." Nick replied. "But I couldn't find the fridge in the kitchen."

Nick walked into the kitchen and pressed a button. A trapdoor revealed the fridge. "It's to avoid any midnight snackers from eating all the food in the fridge." Nick said, smiling and rubbing his head. Celestial was around the table waiting impatiently for the big dinner to arrive. She didn't eat for ten straight days in fear of that black fox coming and tearing her to shreds when she least expected it. Then a big dish of steaming turkey and rice balls with vegetables and some stuffing. She licked her lips, mouth watering for the delicious meal. Nick sat down and took his share of food, he was hungry too, almost getting killed by a homicidal monster and doing errands non-stop does that to you. Celestial ate like there was no tomorrow, her strength swelling in her. When she was done, Celestial had a small belly from stuffing herself too much. Nick let her lie down and rest a bit. She was so stuffed from eating; the couch gave a low creak from her weight. She would work it off later tonight.

In the mountains, Zack was wielding three power gems. A yellow one, a purple one and his red power gem, each shaped like a different jewel. Zack smirked, "This is taking to long. I might as well speed it up for my little brother and let him get the last one for me." He held the heads of the other three in a burlap bag and threw it in the lake. He put his hand on the long gash on his arm from his fight with the white fox. "I'll kill that fox for what she did. Plus it was a girl who did this to me!" Zack hollered. His fangs grew longer but he fought it and sighed. Then he spotted the white fox taking a midnight jog through the grasslands. He grinned, "This is perfect. I'll slice her heart out with a single blow." Then he spotted someone napping on the hills, making a quick check on her cousin. "Well if it isn't my younger brother Nick. This should be fun…"
