“Please stop…” you moan out, it's index claw tracing up & down your long sensitive flesh. "I was once a weak human like you ,but wondering in to this forest was the greatest thing that can happen to a young gay man like me....&....like yourself." The fox man groaned. "Let me go you furry freak!" You scream ,bucking at him in an desperate but futile effort to get this smelly beast off your back. "You can't get get rid of me that easy ,were joined by my knot." The fox man spoke. "Maybe now you will let me finish my story. Years ago I was hated misunderstood in my home town ,a young gay man who was beat-up & cursed at in public for being what I was. After years of fear for my safety I fled out to these woods. I hadn't the slightest clue where I was going ,what I would do ,but I could no longer stay ,to them I was a freak. Sadly their would be no changing their minds ,Lost & alone I sat on a nearby tree stump to weep. It was then I heard a noise ,I spun around to look but no one was there except for a rather large looking fox. I looked at the fox & the fox stared back ,the silence lasted a minute or so before the fox walked up to my left leg & urinated on it.
"What are you doing you stupid animal!" I shouted shooing him away ,It then gave me an unexpected answer." Well you don't have to be so rude ,typical human behavior....I can change that." It replied. My jaw almost hit the dirt ,I couldn't belive my ears ,a talking fox....& it just insulted me? After a couple minutes of watching the fox groom it's self I finally had enough courage to speak. "Who are you ,how can you talk like that?" I ask. "I am a werefox ,half man half fox ,simple really. "It said." No not really ,creatures like that are a product of fantasy. Weres don't exist ,you can't be talking to me." I stammered out. The fox began licking it's left forepaw contently before speaking. "Ha! Still don't belive what you can't understand... don't worry... I'll wait." It said in between licks. "What do you wont from me?" I asked ,shock giving way to anger. "Me? I wont nothing ,but you look like you could use a little something. I smell anger & great sadness ,why don't you tell me what's troubling you. "What the hell ,why not? Nobody else will listen to me. I'm an outcast , nobody will accept me for who I am. I left with nothing but the clothes on my back to try & start a new life ,somewhere I can freely be who I am." I confessed.
"It seems fate is on your side ,you could...." He paused. It was only then I realized what he meant. "What ,have you bite me & change me in to a werefox too!" I said in a fit of sarcasm. "Not quite ,bites are effective but there are other ways." The fox grinned. Curious as to what he might be getting at I asked him to continue." Their are many ways my condition can be passed on to another ,being bitten ,scratched ,licking an open wound or...sex." The fox replied giving a toothy grin. "Your... gay?" I asked inquisitively. "I am ,I have lived alone for years & wouldn't mind some company." The fox said. "Live in the forest ,here?" I asked. "I own this land it's been in my family for centuries ,it's a huge forest surrounding a gigantic castle ,with more than enough space for both of us." The creature said. Just then I witnessed an incredible sight ,before my very eyes he was changing. The fox began to take on more human proportions ,yet he stayed more fox than man. The fox slowly rose from four feet to two, then it was done ,the fox slowly reached out his paw like hand to mine.
"Will you join me ,friend." He asked smiling wistfully at me. I looked down at his paw & considered his offer ,was this my fate ,to lose my humanity forever? Yes I would finally be free ,to be who I always was without worry. I took his paw in to my hand & anserd. "Yes ,this is my path ,my destiny." The two of us walked out of the forest in to a clearing where the castle was ,it was huge ,it was now my home. "Thus how I came to be here in this forest." “Wait ,your alone where's your mate?” You say. The fox looked down before he spoke. "Hunters ,one night he was in full form hunting for pray when a trespasser invaded our land & shot him. I have lived here alone ever since ,now I offer you the same gift as he gave me ,take it ,don't fight it embrace it." He said.
