 The Strawberry Kitsune

Once upon a time there was a village of kitsunes. If you have never heard of these magical creatures, then let me share their story. In the palace, the king, queen and the princess would sit on their thrones in the morning for breakfast . They would eat by the magical pine forest for lunch, and  for dinner they would eat by the wishing star lake.   For dessert they would eat on the edge of a sunset cliff.

One day, the princess kitsune was walking through the forest and saw a strangely familiar cottage. Rose knocked on the door to see if anyone was home. Rose heard silence . Though to her curiosity she opened the door anyway.   Inside she saw kitsune pictures on a bulletin board that had a crystal on their head. Rose was confused because she had a crystal on her head too! Then she looked over to her right and saw a magic potion that was pink. It was her favorite color so she drank it. she felt a tingly feeling through her throat and when Rose looked at the tips of her tails, they were PINK! Rose found a broken  mirror and looked at her face. The tips of her ears were pink too. She thought she was dreaming so she pinched herself , but like she was not dreaming. It started getting dark .She got lost in the forest and froze. She felt like someone was following her. Rose looked behind her and saw a dark figure right before she could say a word. Rose got caught in a cage over fire. Started crying and screaming “let me go”! The cage started going down lower and lower, but suddenly the princess kitsune started floating and shot the dark figure with the crystal on her head. The dark figure bursted in  flames .  The flames underneath the princess went out. And the cage broke. The princess  escaped the cage and started running. She saw a light from the sky , it was the palace  guards . Rose ran straight to the light and found them. She explained  the entire story to the guards. The guards  were shocked.

The next day she woke up in her room   and it was 3:00 am. She was thirsty so she rang the bell for room service. When she noticed it was 3:00 am she hesitated and hid underneath her blanket. But then she heard unsettling noises coming from above.  she heard a creak then a snap then she got so scared she screamed like a banshee. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! But when she looked above her blanket it was just her mom with her water.  Her mom looked confused. Then turned on the light and gave the water to the princess . Then she went back to her room to sleep. The queen walked back to her room and went back to sleep. When the princess woke up, she went to her parents room but they weren’t there so she assumed they woke up early to eat breakfast. So she went to the kitchen but she was nervous so she went to one of the maids to ask where her parents were. She said when she came  to the palace she said they weren’t hear so she ate breakfast and brushed her teeth as she was eating lunch she heard a knock at the door and she went to go open it and saw her parents with a baby kitsune! She asked why they had a baby kitsune. The queen kitsune said that she had given birth to the kitsune the princess was confused but yet happy that she had a baby sister.   They decided to name her Amethyst because of the crystal on her head . The next day the royal kitsunes went out on a picnic and the older kitsune asked to go out into the forest to look for crystals. The little kitsune followed her sister to see the crystals .  But in return her sister went to a small cottage and when the Amethyst was caught her older sister didn’t get mad she said “drink this potion” She drank it because it was her favorite color purple .  When her sister said look at the tips of her tail they were purple .  Then she said look at your ears and they were purple . She was confused, yet happy.  She started sprinting through the forest to her mom and dad but suddenly … Got captured by a dark  figure and trapped in a cage over razor sharp spikes . Her older sister  hesitated to catch up to her and by the time she got there the cage was almost  touching the spikes.  She called  for her mom and dad and they came right away. They used some of their magic but didn’t destroy the dark figure . Next the princess used all of her magic and got in a coma . Then the king and queen used all their magic and killed the dark figure and broke the cage and broke the spikes but in return both of them died and laid down on the  hard cold ground .Amethyst ran straight to her parents and her sister and started saying  “Aaaah! Wake up!”
