Chapter 43: Bodysnatchers? Chasity’s POV 

I followed June. I couldn’t believe she was letting me out of the room. Should I make a run for it? We walked down a maze-like series of white-walled hallways with marble floors. I gasped when we came to a huge open high-ceilinged area. It was like we had stumbled upon an ancient temple right in the middle of this chic upscale house. There was a huge white stone fox statue right at the far end of the room. It was the centrepiece in an array of artwork. To either side of it were huge intricate paintings depicting colourful forests filled with flowers, girls and foxes. I

stared at the white stone fox. It was positioned as though it was about to land gracefully from a jump with one of its front paws just touching the floor. It was steady on a white base. Its hind legs were midair and its tails were pointed upwards. It had two tailed. It was a two tailed fox. I was strangely mesmerised by it. I walked up to it, so engrossed in examining its every detail that I did not realise all eyes were on me.

“Um, Luna Chasity!” Called June.

I looked around. I gasped and actually recoiled a little in surprise. There were several girls sitting on mats in the room as if they were in yoga class. Had they been praying? Exercising? I didn’t want to offend anyone. I wasn’t in the best position to ask a lot of questions but my curiosity got the better of me.

“What does the two-tailed white fox mean?” I asked, unsure what I meant. I didn’t know how to outright ask if they worshipped the fox.

“The fox isn’t a deity if that’s what you’re wondering,” said a girl, standing up on her pink mat. She was tall and graceful with long wavy black hair and thick perfectly arched eyebrows. She had dark eyes and an olive complexion. She was wearing all white just like June.

“This is April,” said June, gesturing towards the girl who had spoken.

“What happened to May?” I demanded before I could stop myself. I laughed at my own feeble joke. The silence that followed was awkward.

April and June exchanged panicked looks, their eyes wide.

Huh. What had happened to May? Had there really been a May? Wow. I was only joking. Were they all named after months?
