Damien's Foxy Tails, xxLoisKentxx [animal farm read .txt] 📗

Chapter 1

Damien was at the Head Teacher's office, and, yet again, he was being told off for wearing fake fox tail. He always wore it unless he was asleep, and sometimes even when he was asleep. He got it two years ago when his sister got it for him when she went to Japan with her husband. He had worn it for so long that he felt like it was a part of him, like a part of a mental image of him was missing if he did not have it on.

Damien was used to being in the Head Teacher's office, he was always sent there by teachers who believed he should not get away with wearing his fox tail to school, as it was not part of the school uniform, and every time it was confiscated for at least a day depending on who had sent him there in the first place. Damien always wished his tail was a part of him, and that it could not be removed.

"Damien, I can see that yet another teacher has sent you to me for wearing that ridiculous tail of yours" The head teacher said

"I'm sorry sir, but I have to wear it, without it a part of me is missing" Damien replied

"Let's see, since Mr Spade sent you here, he will not be satisfied unless I confiscate your tail until the end of Friday"

Damien gloomily took off his tail, with a click of his belt, and handed it over. He imminently felt incomplete, which he did not like, it made him feel pointless and a lot lonelier amongst other things.

"You are dismissed" the head teacher said

As soon as Damien stood up, he had an irritating itch, just below where his tail normally rested, he scratched it, but it did not go away.

...

At the end of Friday, the itch was still irritating Damien as he went to the Head Teacher's office to pick up his tail. The head teacher handed it over, and Damien went to put it back on, but the Head Teacher stopped him.

"Do not put it back on until you get outside of the school grounds or I will have to confiscate it for the weekend" He said

Damien's eyes widened with the fear of being without his beloved tail for the whole weekend

"Ok!" he shouted in return, and ran out of the school grounds as fast as he could.

...

Outside the school, Damien put his tail back on and sighed with relief, he felt whole again, he also realised the ginger tail was slightly heavier and looked more like a real fox tail. Damien walked home stroking his tail, feeling more relaxed than he had in a while.

...

Damien soon arrived home. It was not a big house but it was big enough for Damien and his parents.

"I'm home!" Damien shouted as he walked through the door. His parents were standing there, with their hands on their hips.

"We had a call from the school, that your tail was confiscated again" his dad said

"Take it off, we will have to take it away until you learn not to wear it to school" His mum added

"But it is part of me!" Damien moaned, he had just got his tail back and did not want to lose it again.

"Just take it off"

Damien did what he was told, he undid the belt and took it off, but the tail was not on there, he turned around and smiled, the tail had made itself part of him. His mum pulled it, as if she was trying to get it off her son.

"MROWW!" Damien yelped, before he snatched his tail from his mother's grasp.


Chapter 2

Damien looked at his parents with a smile, slightly itching his ear. However what he not realise until his parents pointed it out was that his ears had moved further up his head. He looked in the front room mirror, his ears had become more pointed. Damien touched them and they were soft, they were covered in thousands of tiny hairs that you could not see unless you focused. Damien's mum stroked is ears and he started to purr, Damien thought foxes purred and meowed, but the don't, that was typical cat behaviour, not fox.

...

Damien and his parents were eating their dinner at the kitchen table in silence, His parents kept on looking and Damien's ears and tail, like they expected Damien to suddenly shout out "Ha i fooled you!"

However, Damien was not trying to fool his parents. He was exhausted, and it was only 5o'clock, maybe it was because foxes are nocturnal

Damien thought.

"Goodnight" Damien said tiredly. He stood up and made his way to his room, almost collapsing of exhaustion on the stairs. Damien attempted to get changed into his pyjamas but gave up when he got down to his pants, he collapsed on to his bed and fell asleep almost instantly, not even bothering to cover himself over with the duvet, not even noticing the loudness of the birds outside his grimy bedroom window.

Damien woke up in the very early morning, he groaned, it was going to be a long weekend.

...

All weekend was, was a haze, a haze of Damien going to bed shattered around 3:30 only to wake in the early morning, ravishing as he had not eaten dinner.

Through the weekend Damien noticed many changes in his appearance. His ears looked more fox like, they were more rounded and pointed, they were also higher up and covered in ginger and white fur. On his hands black pads had formed, and there was neat and pointy claws where his nails used to be. It was the same with his feet, his eyes had also formed into fox-like slits.

Monday soon came around and Damien decided he was still going to go to school. He woke up at Midnight because of his fox instincts, with ravishing hunger. His stomach decided he was going to raid the fridge. He found a 6 pack of jumbo sausage rolls, he ate four and left two for lunch. He also got a bottle of water out of the cupboard and made a cheese and onion sandwich. He got dressed and wasted the hours until it was time to school, he was wide awake and did not show any signs of nodding off any time soon.

...

At 8o'clock Damien set off for school, he got up to the roundabout which would lead to the straight road to the school when a boy walked up to him, Damien recognized him but he was not sure where from.

"Hello, how was your weekend?" the boy asked, staring admiringly at Damien's fox ears

"Well, as you can see, i am now part fox" Damien replied

"Are they real?" the boy asked, moving his hand towards damien's tail, showing Damien that he wants to touch it

"Yes" Damien replied "you want to touch them, don't you, you can if you want"

Damien's ears twitched in delight when the boy's fingers brisked against them, and his tail waged happily, like a dogs, Damien started purring and it got louder and louder. They soon crossed the roundabout and were on the straight road leading to the road the school was on. Damien closed his eyes and his purring got louder and louder, Damien did not know why he was purring, his parents said foxes did not purr, but he enjoyed it anyway. At the end of the road, Damien walked into a lamp post, and when he had regained his vision by shaking his head like a confused dog, he realised he was at the bottom of the school road, and the boy was running off to meet his mates.

"Thankyou and Bye" The boy said

"Youre welcome, bye" Damien replied.

...

Damien walked into his first class, Religion and Ethics, and prepared for the lesson, he was sitting on his own that lesson, in the front row. The bell rang and Damien could not cover his ears quick enough. Mr McLeod began to call out the register.

"Ami", Ami replied with a "Here Sir"

"John" John did the same

"Bryan" Bryan replied with a "good morning Sir"

"Yuki" And Yuki did the same

"Damien" Damien was surprise with the calling of his name and a "Mrow?" escaped his lips, as he was in the front row, Mr McLeod heard.

"That's enough of you and your foxy antics, first a tail, then ears, and now you are meowing, foxes don't even meow, what is wrong with you?" Mr Spade shouted "Get out of my sight, go to the Head Teacher's office now!"

Damien's ears dropped with sadness but he did not argue, he could not help being part fox so it was either come to school a part fox or do not come to school at all. Also, the school board would not be pleased if he got excluded because of his looks.


Chapter 3

Damien soon arrived at the head teachers office. He hoped his days of being sent to the head teacher were over since his could not remove the fox things about him, however that seemed to not be the case.

Damien walked in the head teacher gestured for him to sit down, he sat.

"Damien, what a surprise" he said jokily "I am guessing you are still wearing your tail?"

"yes sir, I put it back on after school on Friday and when I could got home I could not take it off, then my ears turned into fox ears and became more sensitive and now I am part fox, I got sent here by Mr McLeod, for answering "Morw?" to the register, but i could not help mit, it is part of my nature now, like purring is" Damien replied

"you realise you sound crazy, Damien?"

"yes, but it is true"

"it cannot be true as you cannot turn into pat fox just by wearing a fake fox tail, i am sorry, but i will have to confiscate them until you learn not to wear them to school anymore"

The head teacher tried to pull the ears he though was fake off Damien's head

"Mrow!" He yelped, smaking the head teacher's hand away

"For god's sake, Damien, stop making such a fuss"

"I don't mean to" Damien replied, as he massaged his sore ears and stated to purr

"Damien, how did you make that noise, foxes don't even purr"

"I just do, if you do not believe me, then where are the clips which would attach the "fake" ears to my head?" Damien asked, making the speech marks around fake in the air.

The head teacher searched for the clips like he was searching for head lice but he could not find them, and he realised that Damien was not lying.

"So you are part fox now, i understand" he said before he wrote Damien a note, "take this note, it explains to the teachers about your ears and tail"

Damien took the note and read it.

Dear Teacher

Damien is allowed to wear his ears and tail, as they are part of him and cannot be remove, they are real and it will hurt him
