Silver awoke slowly she could hear the wind outside shaking the walls of her tent. Great, more snow.. Silver thought with a yawn, Silver suppressed a shiver and grabbed a jacket, it was a simple brown leather jacket with a fur lined inside. Silver grabbed a leaf off one if her plants and put it on her head so she could turn into her human form. Silver easily put on the jacket when she had turned into her human form. It's much easier to wear clothes when I actually have hands! Guess being a human for a short bit isn't so bad after all. Silver put on her boots before going outside, expecting Sparrow to poke fun at her running into a tree yesterday. Instead she was happy to see Raven. Hey Silver! Oh you're in your human form, even though I recall you saying, I don't get too cold with my long fur! Raven teased. Silver scoffed. Maybe that was a lie. Silver mumbled. Whatever that isn't the only reason I came to see you. Raven said, Silver looked up curious. Is it true you ran into a tree? Raven asked her tone light. Silver looked away embarssed. No.. I did not... Silver lied. Suuure, then why does everyone know about this already? Raven asked giggling. Silver let out a tiny, eep. Oh great.... Ahhh I hate you Sparrow.! Silver mumbled. He told this to everyone? Silver asked. Yup. Raven said, Silver looked down more embarrassed. I wont ever hear the end of that from Tiger. Silver mumbled again. I just came to see if you were fine. Raven said looking at her. Yes I'm fine! Silver let out an annoyed sigh. Hey, no one expect Tiger will rember this, and maybe Sparrow.. Raven said, Silver just left embarssed. Raven followed. Hey I didn't mean to offend you.. Raven said. Silver looked up at Raven. I'm not mad at you! I'm more or less upset with Sparrow! Silver spat, immediately regretting her tone. Raven looked a little more hurt. Silver looked away feeling guilty. I didn't mean to use a tone, I'm sorry.. Silver mumbled hoping Raven heard. Silver left. I would just like to be alone for a bit. Silver said looking away. Alone for a bit?! Raven sounded upset. You've been leaving me alone for weeks, always coming back with injuries I can't stand to be kept in the dark about something that could be hurting you! Raven spat. Silver stood there shocked. Raven.. I.. I'm sorry.. Silver said just loud enough for Raven to hear. But its for her own good.. Right? Silver thought beginning to question whether of not spying on Plague was worth losing her girlfriend. You can tell me things too you know! Raven said a little more quietly. Silver noticed Sparrow and Tiger watching to bicker and were giggling to each other. Silver looked at Raven trying not to cry. She tried to say something but she couldn't find words. Is my relationship gonna break over this? Silver afraid. I don't know what to say.. Should I tell her a little bit about Plague? Silver thought. Can you come with me into the forest. Silver said quietly. Raven slowly nodded her fists still shaking. Silver didn't want anyone to overhear anything else.

Silver looked up at Raven once they reached a spot in the forest she knew no one would come to, but just in case she looked around a bit. I'll just tell her that I'm seeing ghosts.. But how will she respond, telling her something a little more simple like Plague could lead to me being in trouble.. Silver thought before choosing one. I don't have a reasonable explanation for my injures that wouldn't sound fake.. Silver admitted to Raven. But I do have sort of an explanation for them.. Silver started. Raven looked up. Go on.. Raven said her amber eyes filled with concern. But I'd rather not have you tell anyone, not even Apple or Maple.. Silver paused before she was gonna explain. Silver sighed and started. I was born a Kiko. Which can basically have the ability to see ghosts, and are raised by the parent or grandparent that is also a Kiko, to help make sure we can control our abilities. My mother had told me this at a younger age and I never learned how to fully control my powers leading to me always seeing them, so recently the visions were getting worse when I ran into a tree, because I panicked.. After seeing.. Silver trembled a bit causing her ears to show as it usually happened when she experienced strong emotion. You saw Leo didn't you? Raven asked silently. Silver nodded unable to speak. Cmon let's go back.. Raven offered, her tone sad, as Leo was her cousin. Silver got up brushing the snow off her knees. I'm sorry for not telling you this earlier.. If you even belive me.. Silver said looking down. Of course I believe you! Raven said her tone sweet, yet still heavy with grief with the memory of Leo dug up. Do you blame me for Leo's death?... Silver mumbled her head down. After all it was my fault we all got exiled.. Silver mumbled again. Of course not! Why would I blame you for what Snake did? Raven said. Silver nodded unsure whether or not she was telling the truth. A part of her felt happy that, that one of the questions she buried deep down in her mind had been answered. Another felt bad for keeping it away from her girlfriend.

They arrived back at camp, a little later as they ended up spending a lot more time together, then expected. Imma go to sleep for now, I can't stay in human form much longer anyways. Silver said, nodding as a goodbye. See you later. Raven smiled. Silver went into her tent and took off the jacket, and instantly turned back into a fox. Why does shape shifting have to be so hard? Silver complained to herself Silver curled up in her bed, wishing she could bury her face in her mane. Silver reawoke under a blossom tree, it looked familiar, but she couldn't think of what was similar. Silver stood there for a moment more before the tree quickly died and the grass around it died, She saw a anthropomorphic fox wearing a kitsune mask, it had nine tails, red ears, red paws, red tail tips, and the rest of it was white. The mask had three stripes of the top, along with black and red eyes. It reminded her of something but she couldn't rember. Before she knew it the ground was covered with blood and the fox stood there unmoving while she panicked. Who are you!? What is going on!? Silver said panicking as the ground fell apart. Silver was plunged into darkness afterwards. Voices mumbled around her but she couldn't make out what they were saying. Eventually she saw a black crow with scar across its neck. The bird just stared at her. Silver woke up panting. Crows where Squawking outside. Silver realized she had only slept a few seconds, Silver closed her eyes trying to fall asleep again.
