CHAPTER 71

Y/N'S POV

That same day in the afternoon I took on the task of visiting Sadie and her father, unfortunately, no one could convince Wednesday to stay at home. She looked horrible, her dark circles were more marked than usual and she claimed to have a hammer hitting her head constantly. However, she refused my offer to stay and rest because it was much more important to end my nocturnal adventures.

-Y/N: Don't you want us to talk about what you did at the party yesterday? - I said funny as we arrived at the Sink house.

- Wednesday: Am I going to regret listening to it? - she crossed her arms.

-Y/N: All people who drink regret it the next day when they find out about the silly things they have done - I shrugged.

-Wednesday: I never do stupid things - she said seriously.

- Y/N: Okay, okay... Then I guess your kiss with Maddie was something serious - I said smirking.

- Wednesday: My what with who? !! - she asked surprised - What evidence is there of such a discord?

-Y/N: - I sighed and pulled out the mobile - Don't be mad when you see the picture, it's not my fault that you decided to drink and make out with her while I found out that maybe I'm a yako kitsune.

My cousin preferred not to utter a word after seeing the photo, so we left the conversation there and knocked on the Sink's door. We were immediately greeted by Sadie and her characteristic mocking smile, I was starting to think that this annoying way of smiling was definitely one of the main features of kitsunes. We went inside her house and left our coats at the entrance next to our shoes.

- Sadie: You don't have to worry, we have the heating on - she smiled.

-Wednesday: I thought you Kitsunes could stand the cold much better - she commented.

- Sadie: - she nodded - But my mom is a normal and ordinary human, besides as far as I know you can't stand the cold like we can either.

- Wednesday: I like the extreme cold, it gives me the feeling of having died - she said without any expression on her face.

-Y/N: Ignore her, it's always like that you already know - I interrupted - Have you told your father about us? Does he know why we came here today?

-Father: I am aware of the situation - he said appearing buttoning the buttons of his shirt sleeve - and without a doubt, we must deal with the problem as soon as possible.

Although Sadie's dad's original idea was for us to stay in the main living room, her mom sent us to the loft in case we "were going to break something" by accident. I understood, it was her house and therefore we would follow her rules. We went to the attic and started removing old junk to create a spacious space in the center, but to tell the truth I don't know why we needed space. I just wanted to be told how to stop those night escapes, a quiet chat was enough for me.

-Wednesday: Well, not to sound rude, although I don't mind if I do, but I think we haven't come to clean your attic - she crossed her arms - Can we start dealing with the Y/N problem now?

- Father: Calm down, we need space because we don't know how she's going to react.

-Y/N: How am I going to react with what-

I didn't have time to finish asking when Sadie's father stuck his paws in the back of my head, thus getting the fiercest growl out of me. Suddenly I felt furious, I pulled out my claws and let my fangs come out, my breathing had become unbalanced and I was just thinking about destroying everything around me. Seeing that Mr. Sink would not let me go, I started growling and screaming rabidly, at that moment my instinct was asking me to murder them all.

- Wednesday: Why is she like this? - she said impressed - She is totally out of control - she smiled slightly.

-Sadie: - xhe nodded - She's a killing machine right now, so if I were you I'd keep my distance - she smiled - Have you noticed the eyes? They are not green as usual, they have turned red.

- Wednesday: And what is that for? - she said staring at me as if I was the most interesting thing she had ever seen.

-Father: She's the antithesis of the kitsunes right now - he said holding me tight - If I let her go, we'd be dead in seconds - The truth is that Y/N is too powerful for her age, so we'll assume that she comes from an ancient and powerful lineage.

-Wednesday: And besides she has electricity powers, she has inherited them from my uncle - she smiled.

This time it was me who gave no choice to anyone asking and I discharged a few rays on Mr. Sink to free myself from his grip. It was at the moment when he stopped digging his claws into me that I was able to regain control, but I fell to the ground panting. What the fuck had happened? I was feeling exhausted so I had to let Sadie help me up.

- Father: That was impressive - he said lying on the floor - I've never seen anything like that.

- Wednesday: Well? What is your verdict?

-Father: Y/N has been possessed, someone has implanted her consciousness inside -she said getting up with difficulty from the floor - And that consciousness manifests itself when she lets down her guard, that is, when she sleeps.

-Y/N: Have they possessed me? - I said surprised - How?

- Father: It is one of the characteristics of the yako, they are kitsunes who can possess people and use them as simple pawns for their misdeeds - he said seriously - Do you know any yako?

-Y/N: I knew - I said seriously - My mother was a yako, but Wednesday and I killed her in a fire.

- Sadie: How did zhe possess her then?

-Father: - he came up to me and pulled my hair back from the nape of my neck - At some point zhe must have dug his claws deep enough to implant his consciousness.

- Y/N: Of course! - I looked at my cousin - When she saved me and threw me towards the emergency ladder, she did it at that moment - I said fitting the pieces of the puzzle - Since the fire her reflection has been appearing next to mine.

- Sadie: Oh, well, we already know what happens - she smiled slightly - Your mother owns you at night and devotes herself to razing everything in her path.

-Wednesday: How do we get rid of her mother's consciousness? - she looked at Sadie's father - Shall we do an exorcism or something? - she smiled slightly - I've always wanted to participate in one.

-Y/N: This is not a game Wedns, my mom is trying to take control of my body - I said seriously - Imagine what could happen if she gets to possess me during the day too.

- Sadie: Death and destruction everywhere - she looked at me seriously - Yes you are dangerous, yes.

-Father: Unfortunately we are not going to be able to do an exorcism - he looked at me - What you have to do is impose your conscience on hers until she eventually disappears.

- Wednesday: And how do we do that? - she raised an eyebrow.

-Father: Avoiding the moments when you let your guard down - he sighed - That is, you won't be able to fall asleep.

- Sadie: But Dad, even beings like us need to rest... She's going to end up broken.

-Father: She will have to make a sacrifice - he looked at me seriously - You will tear yourself apart and then you will rebuild yourself again with your true nature, but if you sleep and keep letting your guard down... Your mother will have more control over you every time.
