Silently you were sitting on the veranda of your family house, very interested in not wakening your parents, the sun long lost behind the horizon.
Today, the clear night sky was showing off his children, shining so bright, you didn’t remember they ever did before.
Quietly were you observing how the starlight was dancing with the, on top of the mountains laying snow and them underneath laying, in snow covered, crowns of the trees and the old forest they belonged to. What interesting history would the threes tell you, if you would be able to understand their language? And what would the wind whisper you, if you just would be able to listen? You'd never know.
The time was passing by and every time you were breathing out, a small haze cloud would get visible. You shivered, feeling the nature heat of your body slowly leaving, while you were waiting.
Finally, a single rustle in the bushes of your backyard took your attention.
“Hani?” your voice thin and uncertain compared to the dark night.
You jumped on your feed, as you saw the creature, elegant and silver as the moon itself moving out of the dark green leaves of the bushes it was hiding in.
Immediately the cold snow touched your bare feet and you were rushing to the now human looking like creature standing in your backyard.
Her silver hair was shimmering in the moonlight, slightly brushing over the pure looking white naked skin of her shoulders, her ears twitching in amusement as she saw the excitement in your eyes.
She knew, that it was dangerous for her to come so near to the village, especially right after a girl was confirmed as a wolf lover and the major, your father, opened the hunting season. Even though as a fox spirit, Hani was much smaller than a wolf or any other supernatural creature living in the forest, she had to be very careful and that you knew.
But if loving a fox spirit wasn’t enough, it had to be a woman.
For you, as a woman yourself, it wasn’t allowed to show more affection to a woman than a mother would to her daughter and even this could be too much for the village people.
As the daughter of the major you knew, loving a person from the same sex was one of the biggest crimes you could do in this world. It was right under being a lover of a supernatural creature or a murderer.
You felt your heart clenching, as you saw Hani trying to smile but it wasn’t reaching her usually always joyful eyes.
“Please, just come with me..” She whispers, her voice thin while tears started streaming down her usually almost glowing cheeks. But you shook your head. You couldn’t do it now..
“No..”
“Why?” She chuckled dryly.
“Hani, you know why!” You whined, feeling your tears building up. You knew that it was hurting her as much it was hurting you, but still.. as much as you wanted to go with her, you weren’t able to do it now.
Softly she took your hand in hers and kissed your palm. “I have to go now.” She told you and you nodded, not being able to feel your feet anymore because of the snow.
“I love you.” You whispered, leaning your forehead against hers.
“I love you too.”

A gun shot was making you jump out of your bed. It was very loud, so it couldn’t be very far away from the village.
You put on your dressing gown, as you run out of your parents house into the backyard, seeing a handful of hunters coming out of the forest.
“Ohh, Lady Y/N, what a pleasure!”
“For gods sake, Lady Y/N, where are your clothes?”
But you weren’t listening, running as fast as your legs were able to, straight into the forest. The sharp ends of the branches were reaching out for you and tugging at your clothes. The cold wind hit your face with such force, that it started to feel numb. But you couldn’t care less.
All what you were able to think about was Hani.
A pained scream left your body, as you saw the dead body of the fox spirit, laying on its side motionless.
Her usually silver fur stained with blood.
Your eyes were burning and your sight was blurry by your tears, that started running down your cheeks. Loud sobbing suffused the forest with choked cries and you pressed the dead body to your chest, stroking the sticky fur.
Your heart was ripping apart.
How were human able to do such things? Killing other creatures, because they are scared! How were they able to look at themselfs?!
You weren’t moving out of your huddling position, even once you felt a hand laying on your shoulder.
“Y/N..” You heard someone say, but you weren’t reacting. You didn’t want to see this person. Whoever it was, they could never bring you back.
You would never forgive your father, or the village, for doing something barbaric like this.
“Y/N.” The voice said again, shaking you slightly.
With narrowed eyes you turned around. “Wha-” You cut yourself off.
Hani was standing right in front of you, smiling like she usually did, while tears were streaming down her face.
In panic, you crept back, shaking your head furiously “No, you are dead!” You screamed, pulling your legs to your chest and ruffled your hair. “You are not real!”
A hand softly touched your head and you looked up in shock. There was standing Hani, right in front of you. Her skin as white as snow and her hair shining silver, like the moon itself. If she wasn’t real, she wouldn’t be able to touch you.
“Hani..”
“I have more than one life, you idiot..”
