Prologue
: Andromeda galaxy, a class M moon. Outside a castle.
The three foxes walked to the castle looking at the large gas giant planet in the night sky casting its gentle blue glow. Sounds of different animals in the woods made the vulpines look around cautiously.
The vixen turned to the male fox and asked,"Hon, are you sure we have to do this?"
"Dear, you saw what she did to the cat. We've got to do something or she might change someone into a frog or mouse." Said the male fox examining the large oak doors.
The young vixen with black head hair looked at the couple and asked,"Mom, dad,? This place is creepy. Can we please go home?"
"Not yet Mala, we need to have the lady who lives here check you out and than we can go home.", answered the male fox raising the large door knocker. He let it drop and a resounding boom from it hitting the door made the fox comment."These are huge knockers!" Mala giggled at her father's double entendre.
The door opened and a young female husky looked at the three foxes before asking,"May I help you?"
"Our daughter did something to our cat and we were wondering if Sabrina can help us?", asked the male fox.
"Sabrina is very busy, there's a good hospital in the village to treat your cat.", answered the husky dismissively.
The male fox kept his temper in check but as he looked at the husky, he noticed her head wss shaped like a wolf. "My daughter changed our cat's fur from gray to yellow.", the tod said as he held a cage up.
In the cage was a cat with yellow fur and it mewed pitifully. It took all the self control of the wolf/husky to keep from laughing. Before she could say another word, from within a mature voice bellowed,"Eleanor, bring them to the dining room. While I deal with them, you go see what Pete is up to."
The three foxes followed Eleanor into the castle, where they were joined by a male sable colored collie, who followed them. Mala's father looked at the canine seeing that he had the same build as a wolf. A few minutes later, they were led into a large dinning hall. Telling the fox family to wait here, Eleanor and the wolf/collie left the hall by a side door.
A minute later an older white female wolf with silver white head hair walked in. She looked at the three foxes thru her blue eyes and said,"May I see the cat?" The cat carrier was handed to her and Sabrina looked at the cat and said a few phrases of a spell. Handing the carrier back, she said,"There we go, the cat is now back to its regular color."
Mala's mother asked,"Can you cure her of this?"
Sabrina looked at the vixen causing her to flinch and then said,"No I can't because trying to remove the talent would kill her. The only solution to this problem would be to allow her to become my apprentice."
"Is Eleanor your apprentice?", asked Mala's father.
Sabrina laughed and said,"Eleanor was abandoned here when she was three years old. Pete is a friend of hers. Your daughter is a rare child and so the best thing to do is to teach her to control her gift before something bad happens."
Mala looked at Sabrina and asked,"Why am I here?"
Sabrina looked at the young vixen. Mala was wearing a Lavender colored short sleeve shirt and shorts the same color. The wolf noted that the vixen was starting to develop breasts. 'She is going to be a lovely vixen when she grows up', Sabrina thought to herself. She smiled and said,"Mala, I am going to become your new teacher."
Mala looked around the dinning hall and asked,"How old are you, teacher?"
Sabrina chuckled and answered,"I am as old as the magical order of this world and that's for you to figure out."
A few months later, at the same castle.
The young vixen mumbled to herself as she carried two buckets of water to the water tower on the roof, "This is hard work. There must be a spell to make this easier." Mala thought as she walked to the cistern.
The current chore for the young vixen was packing water to the water tower on the roof. Sabrina told her that the current exercise was for strength of mind and body. She and Eleanor got along, but they did have the occasional disagreement. At the current moment, they were getting along.
"Hey Mala, can you do stuff with me and Pete?", asked Eleanor, walking up with the male sable colored collie.
Mala looked at the collie with whitish blue eyes and a wolf shaped head. She got along with the collie who was two years older than her. Eleanor was almost a year older than her and they normally did things together. Today Sabrina had given her this assignment, to top off the water supply. The plumbing to the castle was gravity fed from the water tower. In the vixen's opinion the castle sucked because she or Eleanor had to fill the water tower to have running water. The place was lit by candles or oil lamps, the only electrical stuff was a few battery operated devices. Mala gave a sigh and answered,"Sorry Eleanor but I have to do this chore right now. I'll do stuff with you later."
Eleanor nodded as Mala walked up the ramp to the roof and said,"I'll see you later Mala and we'll talk then."
The vixen nodded and continued walking up the ramp, sighing she sat the buckets on the ground. She looked at an old straw broom and thought,"Ok, I think I have an idea!"
Mala remembered some spells that had been taught to her. The vixen stared at the broom clearing her mind and concentrating.
Suddenly, doll like arms sprouted from the broom handle. The broom stood up on it bristles and Mala, still working the spell in her mind, handed the buckets to the broom. It grabbed the buckets and began walking up the ramp.
The vixen followed the broom, guiding it with her thoughts watched it dump the buckets in the water tower's cistern. Mala made the broom walk to the well and back up to the roof to the tower. "Ok, I think this job will be done sooner." She said to herself walking behind the broom.
Hours later in a room below, a few drops of water dripped on to Sabrina. The wolf opened her eyes to see drops of water falling onto her bed. She opened her keen mind to begin sensing for spells being used. A strong one could be sensed on the roof, moving around. Sabrina exclaimed,"Mala!"
On the roof the young vixen was tugging on the broom. The water tower was overflowing with water and the water was pooling on the roof!. She was muttering spells while pulling on the broom to stop it from filling the water cistern. "Come on, stop!", yelled Mala.
"Dies stop!", said a mature female voice.
The broom collapsed on the ground and the arms disappeared into the handle. Mala looked at Sabrina who was looking at her with her blue eyes and stammered,"I am sorry. I-I-I was...."
"Taking a short cut, which is one thing you shouldn't do. Some things you must do without using your talent my apprentice. Now you must clean my room because of the water that has dripped into it and you can't use the de-watering spell I taught you a few weeks ago. Come on, you have work to do.", admonished Sabrina as she took the vixen by the arm. "She has the making of a powerful sorceress, but she must learn discipline and patience.", the wolf thought to herself.
Town of Lyman Wyoming May 2010.
Stephen grunted to himself as he wheeled the garbage can to the curb by the street. The seventeen year old human boy wiped his forehead, looking at the single wide trailers with fenced-in yards, due to the strict laws for dog owners. He breathed in the fresh clean air of this area of the state. That was due to there being very few cars in the town of Lyman.
"Stephen, get your lazy ass in here We're going to Benedicts.", hollered his mom from the trailer.
Sighing, the human boy with light tan hair rubbed his hazel colored eyes and walked to his home. His mother had divorced his father and some how gotten custody of him and his two sisters. Tracy, his mom, paid more attention to his sisters than him, plus she verbally and mentally abused him continually.
"You move slower than your father, you lazy boy.", said his mother.
"If you think I am lazy, why don't you send me to live with him, Tracy?", replied Stephen admiring the furious look on his mother's face. He continued baiting her by saying,"Go ahead, hit me. You know how much the Lyman police love arresting parents who abuse their kids."
Tracy didn't say another word to her son as she was getting her children into the van. Preparing to drive to the grocery store 7 miles from their home, she yelled at him,"Someday, I wish you would just disappear!" Unknown to her, someone overheard the comment.
Two sets of blue colored eyes watched the Plymouth mini van drive down the street. The two females in the Black 2000 Mazda 626 watched the van driving away. The older female turned to the younger one and said,"What do you think Mala? Should we take this one?"
The female ran her fingers thru her long glossy black long hair and look at the older one with brown hair and responded,"Yes teacher, I think we found the one we've been looking for. Eleanor has to go with our choice because she refuses to wear these disguises."
The older female looked at the younger one and said,"Ok my apprentice, we'll wait for the opportunity and take him. I have the feeling that he won't mind helping us."
Mala grinned to herself as the Mazda accelerated to follow the min van. She asked,"How about using the flat tire routine on him Sabrina?"
"Did you bring the tool with you?", asked Sabrina but her question was answered by Mala holding up a tool that looked like a screwdriver with a notch cut in the end.
Two hours later, in Benedicts' parking lot.
Sabrina glared at the Voyager mini van as it left the parking lot. She saw that the human boy wasn't in the van but did see the repulsive mother and the two snobbish girls. One of them was sitting in the passenger seat. The life form disguised as a middle age female grinned as her apprentice got out of the car and went to right rear wheel to kneel down.
A few minutes later Stephen walked out of the store to look around the parking lot. Mala wrapped up her right wrist and fore arm in and Ace bandage and then exited the car to walk toward the human boy.
Stephen sighed to himself as he exited the food store. He gritted his teeth because he couldn't see his mother's van. "All I did was spend fifteen minutes in the restroom. She didn't half to just leave me.", he muttered to himself. The boy started to turn back to go in the store so that he could call the police. "I'll just tell them she abandoned me in the store and then I can go live with my dad.", he thought to himself but due to a slight hesitation, his life was going to change forever.
"Excuse me but can you help me and my mother out? Our car has a flat tire and I can't change it because I injured my wrist while playing baseball.", said a female voice behind him.
Stephen turned around and refrained from doing a wolf whistle. Standing behind him was a young woman he guessed to be in her late teens. She had long black hair and medium tan skin with blue eyes. The thing that made him almost do a wolf whistle was the way this female was dressed! She was wearing a lavender colored bikini with a blue sash. The human boy looked her over one more time feeling his penis getting hard as he said,"Uh sure, can your mom give me a ride to the police station?"
The female woman looked at him nodding. "Sure, what's the problem? My name is Mala."
Stephen grinned as he looked at Mala and said,"Well, me and my mother don't get along. It looks like she just abandoned me here." He looked over the scantly clad female standing next to him, once more. A few residents looked at their direction but did nothing. Stephen said,"So, I'll change the tire if your mom gives me a ride to the police." The boy smiled as Mala nodded in agreement.
A few minutes later Stephen was examining the flat tire on the sleek Mazda. He asked the older woman to open the trunk from which he grabbed the jack and lug wrench. Minutes later, the nuts on the wheel where loosened, he cranked the jack making the right rear section of the car rise off the ground. Stephen finished removing the nuts and wheel. He rolled the flat tire and grabbed the small spare, mounting the tire in a couple minutes.
After putting the flat tire in the trunk, a slim hand touched his shoulder. "Ok Stephen, now we'll take you to the police station.", said Mala from behind him and triggering a shiver thru his body.
He got in the back seat but Mala sat next to him instead of sitting up front with her mother, who didn't say much. The car started and turned north accelerating on Wyoming county road 412 north.
A few minutes later, instead of the car turning right on to the I-80 business loop, the car went straight thru the Urie intersection. Stephen began to protest but Mala hugged him, giving him a kiss on his lips. The young woman placed his hands on her bikini top so that he could feel her soft breasts. The surprise allowed Mala to weave her spell. He went limp but as he went to sleep, he would have sworn that Mala looked like a fox.
Sabrina felt Mala climb over the passenger seat and looked at her. Mala told her,"He's out but he should sleep thru the journey."
The older female glanced at Mala and remarked,"Better check your disguise. I think you need to renew the spell."
Mala looked at her hands, noting there was black fur on them. She looked down her front to see her white furred breasts, covered by the lavender top. The vixen muttered a few words and seconds later, she wss looking at dark tan human skin. Mala said,"Sorry teacher, I forgot to renew the spell after casting that sleep spell on Stephen."
Sabrina shook her head, noting that the I-80 interstate is a mile away and said,"Casting a sleep spell doesn't require a kiss, my apprentice."
Mala chuckled to herself and looked at the sleeping human boy on the backseat. She noticed Sabrina looking around outside the car and then the older woman muttered words out loud. The apprentice kept her mouth shut as her teacher finished saying the spell. Ahead of the car was a swirling white portal on the road under an I-80 overpass. In a flash of white light, the black Mazda 626 vanished as it entered the portal.
At the same time, a Voyager mini van pulled back in the Benedicts parking lot. Tracy went inside and after a search of the store, she called the police. Fate dealt the single mother a cruel hand her two daughters were taken by CPS because a phone call from a female named Mala told them that she saw Tracy abandoning the teenage boy. The search of the valley area produced no signs of Stephen. Later on, the police went to the state where Stephen's father lived, to see if the boy had run away. The father was brought in for questioning but he had an alibi of where he was. The older human male was at his new girlfriends' house visiting her.
Stephen's father went later, back to divorce court to see if he could stop paying the child support portion of Stephen's care. His request was granted on grounds that the boy is now missing due to being abandoned by his mother. Due to being cruel to her son, Tracy's life took a turn to the worse. She had to leave the town of Lyman because of what she done to her son. She was basically chased out of town. She never knew Stephen was not on the planet Earth, he was somewhere else.
Sabrina's castle, vehicle stable.
A white portal opened up and a black sleek car emerged, skidding to a stop. Inside, Mala removed her hands from the emergency brake handle and grabbed the shifter, putting it in park. The vixen sighed as she twisted the ignition key to off. She looked at her teacher slumped on the steering wheel and looked at a blue crystal size of a strawberry clutched in Sabrina's hand.
Closer examination revealed that the crystal was spent. There was no energy left in it and the white female wolf with silver white head hair was breathing shallow. "Teacher! Why didn't you tell me that the crystal was almost empty?",Mala called to Sabrina.
Sabrina moaned and looked at her apprentice as she told her,"You need more training before you can put any of your energy in it. If you said any word wrong, it would drain all of your life energy, killing you."
The vixen sighed and said with concern,"Teacher, you're so stubborn." She assisted the wolf out of the car. Walking with an arm around her neck, Mala turned to Sabrina and told,"You've just got to trust me because I want to help you out more."
"I do trust you my apprentice but I need to train you more before you can help me with these complex spells. Remember what I told you on your first day of training?", Sabrina asked.
"If I do a spell wrong, it will kill me.", Mala answered her teacher as they went thru the door to Sabrina's room. Once inside, the vixen helped undress her teacher and put her in bed after doing a healing spell on Sabrina.
Walking out the door, the vixen thought of the human boy. "Now for Stephen", she said with a sigh.
"So, how was the trip?", a female voice asked.
Mala turned around to the voice and saw a tall Husky/Wolf hybrid. Eleanor was taller than the vixen with a muscular build compared to the lithe build of the vixen. Mala told her,"Eleanor, you should have gone with us. It was a nice trip."
Eleanor gazed at the vixen. "Sorry, I have seen humans before and I have no intention of walking around hairless. So what did you bring home?"
The vixen licked her nose and said,"I'll show you. He's in the car." She walked to the stables, followed by Eleanor.
A minute later, Eleanor was looking at Stephen and shaking her wolf head. She said curtly,"He's scrawny. I bet he can barely hold up a long sword. This human is not sleeping in my room."
Mala looked at the wolf hybrid with different shades of gray on her fur and said,"Don't worry Eleanor, he can sleep with me. Can you help me carry him to my room? I am weak from maintaining my disguise and healing the teacher."
The two female canines removed the human boy from the car and carried him to Mala's bedroom. Eleanor watched as Mala lay next to the human and muttered,"Vixens, the nymphomaniacs of the canines." She turned and walked back to her room.
Mala shrugged and wrapped her arms around Stephen's body and fell asleep.
Later in the same room.
The first thing the human boy felt was warm fine fur on his skin and something thickly furred brushing his legs. To him it felt like a golden retriever was laying on him but there was this odor coming from the fur. As he regained his senses, memories went thru his mind of where he smelled that odor before. A few years back he had the luck of seeing a fox hunt mice in a field he was watching. The fox had gotten to three feet from his hiding place but the wind shifted direction and the vulpine smelled his scent, causing it to bolt away.
As his faculties returned to him and his eyesight focused he had to contain the scream in his throat at the sight of the anthropomorphic fox vixen who had him in her clutches.
She was a medium reddish orange in color but the white pattern was almost snow colored. Her pattern was slightly different. There was a thin band of black at the edge of her ears. They were white inside, plus there was a one inch black band at the border of the white tip of her thick tail. One thing the boy kept staring at was her long black slightly curly head hair. To him it reminded him of the same hair style of Susanna Hoffs of the Bangles and he had he always had a crush on her.
Right then, he couldn't move a muscle because of one of the vixen's arms was draped over his body and he was now looking at her muzzle. He looked her over again seeing a type of beaded tiara with a few blue jewels and a thin blue ribbon tied behind her ears and around that long thick black hair. "Wait a minute, that outfit is familiar!", Stephen said to himself as he looked at the lavender bra and bikini bottom.
"Enjoying the view Stephen?", asked Mala looking at him with her blue catlike eyes.
Stephen gulped, looking at the vixen and said,"I uh, am just curious because I never saw an anthropomorphic red vixen before."
Mala smiled at him running a finger under his chin. "Let me guess, you're a furry?"
"Uh yes I am but no offense, I always liked the drawings of the fox vixens because I think they're sexy.", he let slip out.
The vixen smiled at him but kept her mouth closed because she didn't want to show her sharp teeth. Mala took his hands and placed them on her breasts making his hands rub them for a few seconds. She grinned and teased,"There you go, that should satisfy your curiosity."
"I am seventeen! Isn't this illegal?", asked Stephen with a guilty glee.
Mala gave the human a kiss and told him,"Not here, You're an adult at the age of sixteen on this world. I am twenty two and you can legally mate with me if you wanted to." She got off the bed adjusting her outfit.
Stephen looked at the vixen a little taller than him and asked,"We're on another world?"
The vixen guided him to the balcony outside her room. He saw a large blue gas giant in the night sky illuminating the sky with a gentle blue light. Black furred hands kneaded his shoulders. "We're on Sirus V, a class M moon orbiting the gas giant of Sirus. Sirus is located in the Andromeda Galaxy 2.5 million light years from your Milky Way Galaxy."
The human boy just stared at the sky, seeing a smaller tan planet emerge from behind the gas giant. A hand guided him back to the bed and he laid down but the vixen remain standing. "What are you doing?", Stephen asked Mala.
Mala was looking down at him, removing her bra and other clothing. She removed the blue sash around her hair shaking her head and letting her hair loose. "Don't worry, I won't bite. This clothing pulls on my fur so I am taking it off.", said the vixen climbing into the bed.
Stephen looked at her blue cat like eyes and shivered. Since he had started puberty, the human boy was curious about what it would be like to sleep in the same bed with an attractive female. He cautiously moved his hands under the covers to touch the back of Mala, feeling her fur and stroking it.
Mala hummed a strange tune, then grabbed his hands and placed them on her breasts. She liked it when the slim fingers rubbed her nipples. "Go to sleep Stephen. You have got a busy day tomorrow.", the vixen said to him, adding some strange words. The candles on the wall went out and the room dimmed.
He looked around in the pale blue glow from the gas giant. Strange sounds came from the outside. Mala yawned and went to sleep, releasing his hands from her grasp. Stephen exhaled a sigh. "I can't go asleep, my dick is like a piece of steel and my internal clock is screwed up. I am think I am suffering from jet lag, or however we traveled millions of light years.", the human boy mumbled to himself. A finger touched his forehead and darkness.
The vixen opened her eyes shaking her head. She looked at the sleeping form and ran her hands over the skinny body. One thing she hadn't told the human, was that casting spells causes fatigue. Mala had to carry Sabrina to her bedroom and undress her teacher after Sabrina had brought them here. "I think when this is over; you're going to be stuck here. That trip both ways took a lot from my teacher. It almost killed her.", the vixen thought to herself as she fell asleep.
