“Familiars can only be animals, and a Bound is only broken when one of the participants dyes”. While Kat on her search for a solution while standing near a Panic, Dan sits next to her in the Kitchen.
He was amazed of his own acting ability. Maybe he thinks cats are just born Actors. Time wasen´t on his side. When Kat noticed that she`s still alive after the “Poison”-attack tomorrow morning is over he hasen´t left any object for negotiating. There Parents Have left for the Weekend at noon today and won´t be back till Monday. And it is still Friday afternoon. Tomorrow morning his Sister will know he hasen´t really poisoned her and then he will be on her mercy.
Still he sits right next to his Sister totally calm, as there is nothing for him to fear.
When his Sister wasen´t coming forward with her solution-search he ask her: “What about were-creatures?”
“Huh?” was the only answer his Sister was able to give.
“What if you turn me into a were-creature? They are Animals, right?”
“Oh”. His Sister thought about it and answered him: “No they aren´t Animals, they are Human with a curse to turn to Animals once in a while, but they are still Human.”
“Hm… And what about Japanese Were-creatures? The Kitsune for Example are Foxes, but in Japanese folklore they have the Ability to turn Human, or am I wrong on this?”
“I-I don´t know” Kat stutters. “I have to look for this”.
She walked back to her room like she was in trance. Dan followed her. In her Room she took one of the books. It was about Were-creatures of all kind. It contains a Chapter about Asian Were-creatures and it seems like her brother was right. There are Creatures called Kitsune and they are definitely Foxes, but they are said of to be able to take Human appearance.
“Okay, I think I can turn you into a Kitsune,” said Kat, “but that would mean you will be a Fox.”
“Well, since you were overhasty with the familiarbounding, we need to get to a compromise anyway, so I agree to this when I can at least take on Human appearance, even if it isn´t the real thing.”
“Ok, but it will take me a few hours to get the spell together”
“Alright, take all the time you need, I´m in my room when you´re ready.”
It was a little tricky for Dan to get his room door open, with being a cat and so on, but at last he managed to get it open. He layed down on his bed to sleep a little. A Nap on the sofa can be really tiring.
What´s next?
