I've Turned Into A Fox Girl?

Elysia opened the door to let Clara in and as soon as she did Clara sprinted in. Elysia closed the door and went back to the bed and sat next to Shaman.

Clara stood in the middle of the room looking around trying to find a place to hide.

"Uhhh, Why are you trying to hide in the first place?" Shaman was rather confused by why Clara came to their room and she needed answers.

"Because I annoyed Himeko, I need to escape her till she calms down." Stress could be seen on Clara's face as she spoke which concerned Shaman and Elysia as they were wondering what could she have done to cause her to run away and hide.

"I know what you are thinking, I may or may not have thought it was a good idea to tamper with the tea I gave her and put just a tiny bit of one of the hottest chillies in, so now I am on the run." Clara explained what had happened which was not the kind of scenario they expected.

Shaman and Elysia stared blankly at Clara, even though their trust for Himeko was 0 they still did not wish for such a cruel fate as to have their mouth and ass burn for hours.

"Let's not think about why and please just let me hide in here for the time being." Clara looked like she was getting desperate. Shaman let out a sigh and shook her head.

"You can hide here but how long do you think Himeko will take to find you?" Shaman wanted to talk to Clara so this was an opportunity she could not let slip by.

"I think she will a while but who knows she can literally appear anywhere at any time so i need to find a spot pronto." Clara walked around the room examining different things seeing if she could either fit in them or hide behind them.

"Well seeing as you may be a future teammate is it alright if we got to know you better?" Shaman went straight to asking as their time could very much be limited.

"I mean sure go ahead, I can just tell you my life story while I look for a spot." Clara seemingly did not mind talking about herself which was a relief to the girls as it could potentially give them more information about Himeko.

"I mean sure go right ahead, we will listen, although we are more particularly interested in how you met Himeko." Shaman expressed her interest in Himeko and Clara nodded.

"Well you're in luck because Himeko has been with me all my life." Clara looked over her shoulder and smiled at the girls. Clara had also walked past Wolfy and had given some pats which Wolfy was not opposed to getting free pats.

"Anyway, I shall begin. I did not know my parents very well, as they left me pretty early on in my life. My memory of that time is very hazy, but I remember that as a child, one night there was fire and screams. Luckily, Himeko appeared and saved me, but from what I was told my parents had both died in that fire. We used to live just outside the city of Ebonscale. Himeko had been traveling in the area, arriving just in the nick of time to save me. Every time I recall these events though, I have a nagging feeling in my head telling me there was more to it, but that's besides the point and nothing to worry about." Clara had started to tell her story and the last comment raised eyebrows as it seems like the events of the fire was more than just a simple fire. Clara had also seemingly found a spot by the small kitchen and started to see if it would work which allowed Shaman to think.

'I need to be careful when I get rid of the influence on her mind otherwise she could go into a frenzy since I have a feeling Himeko was involved in with her parents death.' Shaman could not help but be very speculative of Himeko as it seemed like anything could be possible.

'I need to convince her to leave or be able to leave as soon as I release her, otherwise things can turn very ugly. But do I want to bring her along and should I even bother?" Shaman was a little conflicted as Shaman did not want to leave Clara on her own and seeing as they are similar in age and tier she felt like she had to help her.

'I would like to help anyone else that is under Himeko's influence but I would rather wait till I can hold my own against her as I could be incurring my own death if I help anyone else and they end up turning against her.' Shaman struggled to think of a solution and the only option that sounded safe was to use Clara as a test and come back later once she is powerful enough to fight a tier 10.

'Well having a lightning user on our team could be very useful so maybe I should try to recruit her. The only thing I am worried about is Elysia because I swear she is a yandere and might end up killing her one night.' Shaman could envision one night Elysia going out in the middle of the night to kill Clara just because she looked at Shaman the wrong way.

Shaman had shivered a little at the thought but she was rather fond of the idea of getting Clara to be a permanent member of the team.

'Well let's hope that freeing her won't cause any issues.' All Shaman could do when the time comes to free Clara, is to hope that there are no horrifying effects on her mental state.

Clara was done playing around with the spot and sadly came out unsuccessful as she did not fit in the cupboard so she went back to talking.

"Then after that Himeko took me in and raised me. It was not until a few years later that I started I started my training and developed my lighting element. So I see Himeko as my mother and grateful for what she has done but I have to say lately she has been acting strange and I am wondering if it has to do with the sealed room." Clara had dropped some information which piqued the interest of Shaman and Elysia.

"What is this sealed room?" Elysia spoke with curiosity as this was the first time they were hearing of this.

"Oh? She has not told you, it's a room right below the first floor of the tower which has a bunch of talismans on it. I was told to never enter and I thought she would have told you the same thing." Clara explained the mysterious room which Shaman instantly thought could be the reason why they are being influenced.

'If we want answers that room will have it but sadly I don't think we will be able to break in unless I fight Himeko so I better leave that for now.' Shaman was dying to know so all she could do was bite her lip and accept that they would not be able to explore it this time.

"No she never told us, let alone seen it but I guess we will take your word for it." Elysia answered for Shaman as she could see that she was deep in thought.

"Hmm, that is odd, oh well I think I found my hiding spot in this kitchen cabinet so I will tell you more about me at a later date but for now unless you really need me don't talk to me and whatever you do do not tell Himeko where I am." Clara had climbed into one of the top kitchen cabinets that had not been filled or fitted with shelves and decided to hide in it..

"Oh okay." Elysia watched as Clara awkwardly climbed into the cabinet but nonetheless succeeded.

"Also one more thing, please do not fuck while I am in here." Clara had quickly poked her head out before shutting the cabinet door and going silent. Elysia's face went red and Wolfy rolled his eyes. Elysia quickly shook her head and tried to forget about what Clara said.

"It's not everyday you see somebody do that and who says we are going to fuck while you are in our room!." Elysia was a little baffled and still a little red but did not pay much more attention to it.

Shaman snapped out of her thoughts and looked around.

"Oh did Clara find a spot?" Shaman looked around but could not see Clara anywhere.

"Yep so stay quiet." Elysia placed her finger on Shaman's lips to tell her to shush.
