The Final Stretch The storm was raging outside hard. I was pacing around in the entryway for two things. My sister if she were to come this far onto the property, or Jasmine. She was taking her time to sneak down here to where it was becoming a bit worrisome. My attention was drawn towards the window near me as I hear a slight tapping noise. Outside was my sister waving at me. I wave back with one paw before dashing over to the doorway to see if anyone was nearby. The coast was clear and I head back to the window to put two paws on it and forcing some weight upwards. Kitsuno did the same but from outside before it was enough to slip her hands underneath to push it up all the way. As she makes her way inside, I leave to head to the nearest bathroom to grab a random towel off the cupboard and returned to my damp sister. I drop the towel to her and she picks it up to start drying herself off as best as she could. The sundress she had on was matted to her fur, but neither of us cared. "Alright. Security seems to be very lax right now. Let's go ahead and start snagging some trophies." I lead Kitsuno out of the entryway to the trophy room. One by one we took a trophy and snuck our way back to the window to start placing them outside gently. There were quite a lot of decent sized trophies so we had to be careful. Well... Kitsuno had to be careful. I stayed in my feral form to pose as a distraction for any of the maids or butlers that manage to make their way over here. To give just enough time to have my sister cover her tracks. This was going by quicker than we expected. If I were to give a rough estimate on how long it took to clear that room, I would say it was about an hour. But then again it was to move it out one room and out a window. We still had to lug all this to the fence. "Alright. Pet trophy room cleared. Kit, you go ahead and head back outside to haul this stuff elsewhere. I'm gonna go find Jasmine. She's taking her time so this is a bit concerning." She nods and quietly slips her way back out. I look back at the trophy room, it definitely looks more darker now that all that useless metal isn't crowding the walls and shelves. Hopefully nobody notices in time before we make our escape. Shaking my head, I focus and start wandering the house. This was where it was becoming slightly concerning. It was quiet. Too quiet. The only sounds I could hear was the rain outside and my own breathing. Passing by the room I was staying in, I saw Charles passed out heavily on his bed. He was sound asleep and snoring away. I made my way over to Stacy's and Amanda's room. Neither one of them was in sight, so I could only assume they were sleeping. A rolling thud from Amanda's side of the room confirmed that she was sleeping. Well was until she groggily made her way out of her bed house thing to get a drink of water from her water dish. Not wanting to agitate her, I swiftly made my way past the door and continued on. I bypassed Beatrice's room by zipping past her door, and for good reason. One, if she is awake, then she might go hostile on me. Two, is she isn't awake, she might wake up and go hostile on me. There is no winning with that dog anymore to where I need to stay far away from her regardless. As I continue wandering the halls, things were getting more and more concerning. Everything was quiet. I have yet to see a maid or butler patrolling the halls, let alone cleaning something. Making my way out to the main foyer, all I could hear was the rain from outside. Nothing was put of the ordinary from what I could tell. My ears did perk up as a creaking noise was heard. I quickly and quietly hid behind one of the couches as I peered up at the stairway to see if someone was coming down. Shockingly enough it was Ashley. Her outfit was something else as well. She was dressed up in some sort of black and red track suit. The way she was walking was definitely keeping her footsteps quiet as she looked around to see if anyone was around. After a bit I see her moving down towards the hall. Now that I have full view that she was active and now is a rush, this is going to be an issue. Where the hell is Jasmine, and hopefully Kitsuno is getting those trophies out fast. Well, as fast as she could. We did move around thirty some trophies and some of them were pretty big. Swiftly dashing towards the stairs, I quickly hop up each step carefully and rushed to Jasmine's room. I leap up to grab onto the handle to turn it but it was locked tight. I began to question what was happening until I felt someone grab me from behind. Before I could yelp, a hand reaches over and closes my muzzle shut. "Don't. You'll wake someone up." Thank god it was her and not someone else. Jasmine let's go of my mouth and places me down. I turn to face her, "Jasmine, why is your door locked? What happened?" The girl was in her sleep wear, which consisted in a thin black shirt and pants. She crouches down and makes her way to the stairs. "Ashley. She found out I stole her underwear and was keeping a hard eye on me. I locked my door to keep her out." She then looks back at her room door. "I may have forgotten about it a bit when I had to use the bathroom though." I pass by the young girl and start making my way down the stairs. "Oh well, can't be bothered by that now. We need to hurry as she's on the move and Kit is moving stuff right now." Jasmine follows me down the stairs by sliding down on the guard rail. "Who now?" When we got on the main floor, I shook my head and headed down the hallway. "You'll see soon enough, now come on. Things have been strange as there is no staff around and Ashley is probably making her way through the pathway." A low rumbling noise echoes through the halls. If one didn't know any better it would have been thunder being heard. But for it to echo through the halls very clearly, I could think of one other thing making said noise. Leading the path down to the library, I poked my head into the room to see that the fireplace has been moved. Jasmine was right behind me and looking around the room to see where Ashely was. "You think she already went in? I don't see her anywhere, nor do I see what she did to open that passage." A loud metal clunking noise is heard down the fireplace path and I quickly made my way towards it to peak inside. It was another stairway down and I was unsure if it was even wise to head down there. Not wanting to risk both of us getting caught, "Jasmine, you stay here and hide. I'll go ahead and sneak down there to take a look. If the passage somehow closes, find a way how to open it, okay?" She nods and starts snooping around the library to see if she could find something that would work on the passage. Putting a pathway behind the fireplace probably isn't one of the smartest ideas. A lot of soot managed to build up inside the passage and it smelled very ashey in here. But the trail was simple and easy to find where Ashely went as I followed her footprints from the shoes she was wearing. Not long did it take for me to find her as I saw the dalmation hunkered down with two large cases on the floor with a safe that was cracked open. My eyes shimmered a bit from the reflection of the light she held on her right hand as the gold bars she was packing away shined. The safe wasn't enormous, but surely has to have been one of many. Ashley shortly gets back up after closing the cases and moved away from the now empty safe to work her way to a locked glass case. I took the opportunity as she picks away at the locks on the case to sneak in closer to see what else there was to steal. Slinking to the other side of the room, I looked through some glass cases that held gold coins and some gemstones. My only question was how was I going to get this stuff out? With Ashely in the room I couldn't transform back, and I don't think using my magic will benefit anyone since I haven't really done much with it yet besides creating small fireballs and illusions. "What are you doing down here pup?" Shit. She must have saw me in a reflection. I turned my head around and acted innocently towards her as she pointed the flashlight at me. Maybe I could play the act as a regular dog? "Alright Dominic, you may have fooled the old man, but you ain't fooling me. I know there is something up with you." Well, so much for that. I stare down at her in a more blank tone and sat down on the floor where I was standing. She walks around the room to meet me and stands right in front of me. Immediately she kneels down to lift me up and leans me against the safe. "Alright dog, I know you are hiding something. Are you gonna fess up or am I gonna have to find different ways to make you talk?" The hell am I suppose to do? Stay silent and risk whatever she has as torture methods, or confess by speaking? A few moments of silence passed and she got fed up. The flashlight got placed down in front of me and the light shown down the doorway. "Fine then." My body flinched as I felt her right hand grope my balls. It was an odd feeling due to her hands being concealed by black latex gloves, but it was stimulating me enough as my cock started rising. It wasn't long until I was erect enough where she slid hand onto my shaft and started jacking me off. Her hand quickly became slick when my tip started dripping pre cum out. Her pace was fast and pleasureable. But for me, I was still recovering from Beatrice as I still felt some soreness around my groin. After a quick few minutes of her furiously jacking me off, I let loose a few strands of pink glowing cum that got caught in her palm as she held onto my tip. My cock was erecting out further to let my knot out as I press harder on her hand. The feeling went cold as she pulled her hand away to her mouth and stuck her tongue out to lick my cum. She stops a moment after tasting it and then glares at me. "I... taste magic in this." She then turns my whole body around and plants my back on the safe. Her eyes glare at me in the dim lighting as the flashlight rolled off and hit the floor. "Why do you have magic? Better fess up dog." I still played the silent treatment. This may end up worse if I do start talking. "Still playing dumb, aren't we?" Her other hand grabs my neck and she keeps a firm grip on me should I struggle to escape. "There was talk of some pink substance with Beatrice last night. Something came into her room and raped her and left behind some incriminating evidence. That someone clearly is now you." She then presses her face against mine. "Now I wonder who else you fucked? Cause with magic being a rare thing, you are your playthings may make some good coin." Wait what!? Is she planning on selling me, Beatrice, and Laura if she finds out about her? This was where I caught a unnerving smile on her face. "Oh what a score it is today. Forget the rest of this crap. You'll be a nice sum of money to the nearest mages guild. If you are oozing magic out this way, then you'll be worth a lot due to being a natural source." Before I could try to escape, Ashley raises my head and slams it against the safe. Everything got dizzy all of a sudden and my eyes began to shut. My mind was loosing concentration on the illusion and it fades away to reveal my true form. "A fox with magic huh? My luck keeps on getting better. I bet anything you have the bloodline of a kitsune in you." Her hand brush up against my pussy as she let's go of my balls. "And a hermaphrodite? What a rare catch indeed. Tempting to keep you myself if I had any real use for you." Upstairs as Jasmine was hiding, she was waiting up on the upper portion of the library. "Okay Dominic, it's been an hour. Now I am worried." Her attention was drawn to the passage as a light shown through the fireplace door and soon Ashley came back out with two briefcases and with me tied up and hoisted on her back. Her eyes narrowed a bit in the darkened room to see that I looked different. "(What the hell... is that Dominic?)" I was still unconcious from having my head slammed hard against a metal safe. I was also gagged as a makeshift gag was made using her panties. Guess she didn't take it too kindly I was using those earlier to find her. Ashley starts walking out the room and heading down towards the direction to the storage room. Jasmine shakes her head and got down quickly to follow her. "(That has to be him, why would a random feral be hiding in there? God damn it Dominic, you should have been more careful.)" When she got on the ground and out the door, she saw Ashley walking around the corner. She swiftly caught up behind her due to the lack of heavy clothing and that she was barefoot. This, combined with the rain made it slightly easier to get closer to Ashley. We drew near storage room and Ashley walked in the room to place down one of the briefcases to open the closet door. "There we go. Easy come easy go. A life of luxury, here I come. Thanks for the easy way out Lawrence you dimwitted slog." She then looks behind her should to look at me. "And thank you for showing up in my life. You are going to be the best riches I will make by tomorrow." She stiffles a laugh and walks into the closet and through the pathway she carved. Jasmine shakes her head in disbelief. "I can't believe that two timing bitch. Moreso, how the hell did she figure this out?" The young girl, now steaming with rage, rushes in the room and into the closet. Shortly after she went through the closet door, someone else followed behind her. Jasmine gave chase through the tunnel as best as she could. The house had some natural lighting from its own ambience and the occasional lightning strikes flashing through the windows. The crude tunnel system barely had anything to shine. If it wasn't for natural vision adjusting enough for certain species, searching in the dark like this would have been a lost cause and potentially game over for others. After giving chase for a while of going down further in the ground to heading back up a slope, it opened up into a clearing big enough to hide a car. The ceiling was dripping drops of water here and there, so we must have been closer to the surface and somewhere outside the masion perimeter. I started stirring up a bit as water hit my nose. Ashley noticed this however. "Oh, waking up so soon Dominic? Don't worry pup. We're almost out into the wild again. I'll be sure to bring you to a much more fitting home." Jasmine became more infuriated upon hearing that and ran full speed to her older "sibling". Ashley let out a high pitched yelp when Jasmine's foot made full contact with her pussy through her track suit. She dropped the two briefcases and turned around to her assailant. "Who the... Jasmine!?" She slaps Jasmine's leg hard as she pulls away from her. Jasmine retaliated with a punch to her stomach. Slight wind was knocked out of her and was about to receive another punch but she caught the other hand in time to twist it and pull Jasmine in for a headlock. "You little bitch, how the fuck did you know about any of this? None of you other dumbass siblings knew one bit!" The young dobermann growls and bites down on her arm. She yelps and lets go for her to throw another jab at her stomach. The dalmation, now getting angry, gets ahold of one of the briefcases and slams it against her side. The weight of the gold bars was enough to send Jasmine flying a few feet away from us. As she lands on the ground, Ashley walks over to the young girl and lifts her up and presses her against the wall face first. "You got guts kid. I like that kind of spirit. Reminds me of a few friends I had." Jasmine tried to kick back at her knees but misses and a swift crack is heard as Ashley's left hand smacks Jasmine's ass. This causes her to yelp and her resistance falters heavily from the sheer pain. "Oh, I'm sorry. Was that too hard for a little girl like you?" Full consciousness was coming back to me and I glared deep into the dim room. I was about to start struggling a bit before I saw someone sneak up closer to us. It was Kitsuno. She placed a finger on her mouth to signify to stay quiet. I get the idea and play limp. Lowering my head a bit gave my sister an opening to swing with a branch. The branch cracks and breaks but not without causing pain to Ashley as she groans in pain and lets go of Jasmine. "What the fucking hell! Who--" Jasmine wasted no time and delivered a full forced slap to her face. Ashley stumbled on her feet and tripped before falling onto the floor. Kitsuno and Jasmine both leap on top of us to pin her down. Ashley resisted quite a bit but soon fell unconcious from a couple of punches to the forehead by Jasmine. When it was fully clear that she was not getting back up, Jasmine winces in pain from her right hand and her rear. "Damn... everything hurts." She then turns to Kitsuno, "So... uh. Thanks, I guess." Kitsuno looks at the dobermann, "I am assuming you are Jasmine? The thanks goes to you for helping me rescue my sister." Jasmine blinks then looks at me, still having many questions running through her head. "Your... sister. She's a feral though... how does that even work?" Once I was out of my bindings, I spat out the makeshift panty gag. "Bleh... I'm not a full feral Jasmine. I just have the magical abilities to transform into one." I then stand up on all fours and begin focusing my magic. Jasmine witnessed as my body glowed a bit and saw me turn back into my normal self. To say that she was shocked, was the least expected. I look at Ashley and lifted up one of her arms. "I am glad you two came to the rescue. This genius thinks I am worth a lot because I produce magic. Said something about selling me." Jasmine and Kitsuno looked at me in shock. I immediately turned around to hold Kitsuno back, "That woman is gonna have to think twice before selling you." I shake her a bit before embracing my dear sister. "Hey now, leave the violent tendencies to me sis." I give her some pats on the head before she pulled back and sat on the ground. "So what do we do with her now?" "I say we tie her up. She deserves it." I look at Jasmine and couldn't agree more. "Alright then. Get the rope she used on me and tear her clothes. We'll use what we got here and now." After some brief handiwork. All four of us were naked. Jasmine was covering herself a bit out of modesty while Kitsuno and I were just use to it. Ashley on the other hand, was unconcious, and her arms and legs were tied up with the rope she used and our clothes as makeshift bindings. "Feh. It'll have to do. So long as we grab the stuff we need to grab and get the hell out of dodge. I've had enough insanity here." I walk over and knelt down to lift a briefcase. It had a lot of heft to it with how many gold bars were in it. "Damn. This is a lot..." Kitsuno looks at the other one on the ground. "Should... we just take one?" I look at the other then think back on all the trophies we took. "How far did you get the trophies?" Kitsuno looks up at me, "Not far I'm afraid. I basically came inside to dry off a bit, then something felt off. Lo and behold I see you being whisked away, so I gave chase." Placing the case down and opening it up, there were about fifty gold bars in it and these were very heavy. Jasmine looks into the case and kneels down to pick one up. "I had no idea we had these at all." She places it back into the case and just stares at the bars. "If there is this many in both, we'll get caught before we can even get out of here." Kitsuno reaches down and grabs four bars. "I say we grab what we can, go snag the trophies I manage to throw over the fence, then get out of here. The storms almost through as it seemed like it was letting up shortly after I came in to dry off." "I agree. We can lay low at Onn's place. We'll each give him a gold bar to keep his mouth closed. So three for each of us then, including Onn." Jasmine looks up at me, "Is... this Onn person like you two?" Kitsuno looks at me and I look back. Both of us were trying to decide on an answer of what... he is really. Looking back at Jasmine, I blink a bit and reach into the case to grab four bars myself. "Onn is a bit... unique. He's not a kitsune. But he also isn't normal for this place... it's... you'll have to see for yourself." Jasmine is having a hard time wrapping her head around this. I gave her a pat on her shoulder and ushered her to pick up the gold. She nods in response and grabs some of the bars and stands back up. I look into her eyes, "Ready to be free?" Without much thought, she replied. "As ready as I'll ever be. Thank you... uh.... Dominic?" I laugh a bit before giving her a hug. "It's Shade. Call me Shade." I let go of her and start walking off towards a shorter narrow path in the wall. Kitsuno follows behind me and Jasmine follows her but stops to look back at Ashley. "Shouldn't we do something else about her?" "As much as I want to, especially in sheer spite and revenge. It'll waste too much time. If anything, I have a hankering feeling I may end up seeing her later on in life. If she was gonna sell me to a bunch of mages, that means she has done this before. I'll get that revenge someday, don't you worry about it." Jasmine blinks before we started crawling through the hole in the wall. It was a muddy trip but we squeezed through and made our way back to the surface. Time passed by quickly it seems as the sun was starting to rise and the storm had passed over. Placing my gold down, I reached out for the others and helped both of them out of the ground. Kitsuno started spitting mud out of her mouth. "Pphlea... I don't think that woman planned her escape route well if the ground sunk in like that part of the way." "Maybe it was a safety measure to where nobody could find out how she did it." Kitsuno shakes her head and starts walking around. "Either way, let's not do that again." Jasmine shakes her head as some mud flings off it. "I agree. That was terrible." I took a look around the place to see where we were. The fenceline was visible from a few feet away but some of the fallen trees here blocked visibility. I caught the glistening shine of some of the trophies. "Alright, I see some of the trophies. Kit, you show Jasmine where we are dragging the stuff to to place the gold bars. After that let's gather like mad with what we can get real quick and say goodbye." They both nod and Kitsuno escorts our new free bird to the ride of our escape and I headed towards the fence to pick up some trophies. Unfortunately I only saw a few on our side. Not wanting this to be a complete waste, I looked around to see where would be possible to hop on over quickly. Not seeing anything faster, I shake my head and started climbing the fence. Once I was at the top, I saw a trail of the trophies leading to the house. "Guess the storm was a bit much for you sis... sorry about that." Looking at the trail and at the house, I look down to leap on over and climbed down onto the ground. Immediately I sprinted over to half the distance and slid on the wet grass to stop at a trophy to grab it. I started hucking them one by one from where I stopped to the ones closer to the fence. Most of them landed near the fence on my side and a few rattled loudly against it. I dared not to go any further to the house with risk of getting caught. Once I was back at the fence, I started heaving some of the trophies over. Kitsuno and Jasmine had returned and started collecting some of the trophies. We made short work of cleaning the mess before I started climbing over. That's when I heard a whistle blow and I fell over and landed face first into the mud. Jasmine quickly helps me up and we started running as fast as we could in the slick mud. "Shit! We were so close!" We make a quick left and jump over a fallen tree. We closed in on our ride which was a motorcycle with a passanger cab. Kitsuno and I found this last year and with some help from Onn, we got this thing fixed up. Jasmine looks at me as I hop onto the main seat. "You know how to drive this thing right?" I started fiddling with the key in the ignition. "Yes, Kit and I took this for a drive several times. Now come on. Get on and let's get going. We got a long drive and we need to avoid many populated roads to avoid suspicious activity of three nude teen girls with stolen goods." She stared at me like this was some wild dream. But no, this was real. She shakes her head and gets up on top behind me. Kitsuno took liberty of getting onto the passenger seat area with the trophies. The motor revved up when I got it started and with a few thrusts I got us going out of the area and onto the road. "Alright sis, just point out where I need to go so we can make our way." We drive down the road and into the sunrise as our pursuers were unable to follow in time. Back at the house though, two individuals were watching from the top of the roof. One was the ragdoll cat that helped, and the other was a murky covered cat. The ragdoll chuckles to herself and licks her left paw. "I guess that's that then. A pretty good outcome if I do say so myself. Ey Sylvester?" He turned his weed covered face to her. "It is. A shame I didn't have much time to help. I really did wish to contribute more." Stacy chuckles and pats his head as it drips down the weeds, revealing a ghostly hue of a abyssian cat. "Yes my dear, but you need rest. You may not be alive anymore, but your spirit holds strong. I'm sure we can get you two to meet again someday. Witch's promise~" Sylvester shakes his head and stretches before the weeds on his back slump off. "Yeah, yeah. How about you keep up with your promises Stacy. I'm still waiting for my new body." The ragdoll mews before bapping him on the nose. "Oh so impatient you are. This is what got you killed in the first place you dunce. I don't know what you told her, but remember. Patience is key." She creates a magic sigil in the air and a broomstick her size floats through it. Stacy gets on top of it and gets ready for take off. "Shame though. If Ashley went through with selling the girl, I would have had another chance to study her more. Oh well, we'll just have to find another source." Sylvester shrugs and gets onto the broom as well. "So what now? Aside from my body being left here, what do we do about the others?" Stacy yawns and begins locking her left paw again. "Charles is good hearted. He'll be okay. Amanda. Let's just let your ex shamble away. You were better without her." The broom starts floating away from the house in a different direction. "And what about Beatrice and Laura?" "Hmph. Beatrice can figure that out on her own. That temper of hers is gonna backfire severely when she finds out what her kin can do." She places paw down on the broomstick and it speeds up. "As for Laura... she'll wise up soon. Maybe she'll take Charles with her. Before that fox showed up, he was her first feral. Given how much she loves it, he'll be in good hands." The broomstick carrying the two cats then vanishes into the distance.
