Ayleen's POV

Not long after Rang left Yeon hurried back to the house. He looked relieved I was unharmed and annoyed. Now the two of us were eating ramen for lunch.

"The view from here is actually beautiful," I told the nine-tailed fox. "It's also beautiful when in flight"

"How long can you remain airborne until you get tired?" Yeon asked.

I chuckled and looked at him.

"A few hours I'll take breaks if needed"

Gods he's hot I thought to myself.

He certainly is my wyvern agreed.

"Don't you miss nature sometimes?"

"Not really" Yeon answered. "There are no department stores and I can't easily give up Americano's and mint-chocolate chip ice cream"

"Ooh I love that flavor too"

This got Yeon to smile a little.

"Chocolate is my number one but mint-chocolate chip is my backup, damn now I want some"

I then decided to ask another question.

"What shows do you watch? You seem like a guy who likes to binge television"

"Anything that catches my interest, I'm more of a romance kind of guy, the movie "I am Dragon" was good"

"It was good" I agreed. "You should watch the anime "Fushigi Yuugi"

"Oh? What's it about?"

"Look it up fox" I suggested as I finished the rest of my ramen.

Sometimes Later.

"Man, what the hell is going on with this island?" I wondered to myself.

I just got off the phone with Lydia and according to her during the lunar calendar, four different women died under mysterious circumstances. I also managed to learn from some of the elder village women it also wasn't the first time something with a head was involved.

My train of thought was interrupted when I noticed a scared man coming out of the forest.

"Hey excuse me? Didn't you work with Mr. Seo on the fishing boat?"

The man eyed me in pure terror before hauling ass back into the woods. I ran after him because I didn't want him to die like his two other colleagues. For a human he was fast and by the time I caught up with him, he managed to fall to the forest floor. I was about to help him up but he used his weapon to slice into my shirt and I also fell. He got back up and raised his weapon.

"Get away from me you ghost!"

As he threw the hammer down Yeon came out of nowhere and took the blow on his back. The fox then turned around and disarmed the scared fisherman and managed to break his hand before grabbing the human male's neck.

"Don't kill him!" I protested to Yeon just as he was about to use the hammer to kill the scared human.

The human used that chance to flee. Yeon dropped the weapon before looking at me.

"Your hurt"

So the nine-tailed made me sit down while he went to find some herbs for the cut. My shirt was down so my shoulder and bra strap were showing. I blushed as Yeon returned with some herbs and he gently put them onto the cut.

"You should heal faster with this" Yeon explained.

"Thanks"

Yeon's POV

Ayleen suddenly growled dangerously and I felt a change within her. Her claws formed and I saw her eyes turn red. Her pupils were narrowed like a reptile's and I was alarmed.

"Ayleen"

Ayleen then looked at me and I saw intense anger in her eyes. Then her eyes resumed their natural color and demeanor.

Ayleen's POV

What the hell was that? I demanded my wyvern half. I had felt the change in my body and I wanted to shed blood.

I don't know but whatever made us change like that needs to be looked at

"Ayleen? What just happened?"

I gave Yeon a shake of my head.

"I don't know"

Yeon suddenly grabbed a rock and threw it. Rang caught it casually with that stupid smirk of his.

"Aren't we too old to be played catch?"

"Our relationship is too screwed up for that, I was trying to throw a dead ball"

I then tore off my jacket along with my phone and hurriedly transformed into my wyvern state just as Rang threw multiple rocks back in our direction. I had my body coiled around Yeon and the rocks Rang threw back at me simply deflected off of my scales.

"Damn she's gorgeous"

I growled and moved away from Yeon before glaring back at Rang. He then was given a loud roar from yours truly and Rang smirked even more before charging in our direction. I used my tail to send the other nine-tailed fox flying into the air, but Rang recovered from the blow.

"Get out of here Ayleen"

I looked at Yeon and he placed his hand on my snout in reassurance. I then moved away from him and opened my wings. Then I was airborne and out of harm's way. However, that was short-lived because I felt something sharp pierce my neck and I felt a drug of some sort taking over. I had no choice but to land and the moment I did I became unconscious.

Yeon's POV

"What's so funny?" I demanded from Rang as I saw him laughing.

I had been fighting him so Ayleen could get away.

"I think I bought enough time now, don't you see that fiery woman of yours is going to be a sacrifice"

I swore before leaving Rang and followed Ayleen's scent but it disappeared and the sun was going down.

Please hang in there and fight back if necessary I thought.

Ayleen's POV

"I'm gonna kill you" I threatened the female shaman. It was her who drugged me and she freaking brought me to a goddamn well where there was blood on multiple tags. The well was sealed but according to the shaman, I would be sacrificed.

"Not when your hands are bound and the drug has suppressed your other half"

"Up yours" I spat.

Yeon's POV

"I am the former mountain god, lord of the forests, mountains, and streams, lift this darkness and take me to that woman!"

I opened my arms hoping I would be aided. I didn't have to wait long because the wind began to blow and soon fireflies came. I smiled at seeing them and soon they were forming a path and I began to follow him.

Ayleen's POV

"Quit fighting girl" the shaman barked as she dragged me towards the well.

"I'm not going to be a damn sacrifice for whatever your planning!" I roared as I tried to get her off of me.

I was then thrown to the ground close to the now-opened well and the shaman lit the candles.

"You killed those women who came here"

"They were precious sacrifices"

"Bullshit human that's f**king murder" I hissed.

She then got a knife out and grabbed me again. I was put back onto my feet and thrown against the well. I then turned around and used my bound hands to stop the psychopath from stabbing me with her knife.

"OW!" I yelped as her knife sliced the top of my hand. I put up one hell of a fight so I wouldn't get tossed into the creepy ass well.

"Stop!" a familiar voice called out.

I saw Yeon and he looked pissed.

"Get your hands off of her or else I'll cut your limbs off"

The shaman cackled before taunting Yeon he was powerless to help me due to the barrier she created from primroses. Then she turned her attention to me and was about to stab me again but once more I stopped that but my palms got cut. Then I was pushed into the well.

Yeon's POV

Seeing Ayleen getting pushed into the well brought me the flashback of Daenys dying in my arms. I then used my power and the wind blew out the candles and it began to rain. I then smirked as the rain washed away the primrose barrier and I was able to cross it.

The shaman shrieked out in anger and I killed her with a single strike of lightning.

Ayleen's POV

I managed to stop from falling into the well's depths by holding onto the edge. But the rain and my blood already had one hand slip. The other was about to as well but suddenly it was grabbed by Yeon. I was happy as hell to see him and using his strength he pulled me out of the well.

He then leaned me against it and wrapped cloths onto my wounded hands.

"Can you walk?"

"Maybe"

Yeon helped me to my feet but it hurt so he soon had me in his arms.

"Remind me not to piss you off"

I snorted at Yeon's remark and let the hot nine-tailed fox carry me to safety.

Later.

Back at Pyung-hee's house I took a shower and changed into my night clothes. I wasn't exactly ready for bed so I decided to drink some shots.

"Your drinking?"

"Damn right, that bitch almost killed me tonight" I confirmed as Yeon sat down.

Mind you the drug was almost out of my system but my other half wouldn't wake until morning. She was also going to fuss about a headache.

I poured Yeon a shot and ate some of the food that would absorb the alcohol.

"There's something about you that's familiar to me"

This got Yeon's attention and again I felt my face turn red. I then shook my head.

"Regardless thank you for saving my life tonight, and I intend to return the favor to you one day by protecting you when the time comes"

"You did earlier with Rang"

"Guilty but I mean in a more serious situation fox, by the way, I need another bottle"

"No, you don't" Yeon replied by taking the almost empty of soju. He poured himself a shot and did the same for me.

"Bastard"

Yeon smirked and I did the same as we clinked our glasses together before drinking the contents down.
