I've Turned Into A Fox Girl?

Chapter 83 Mental Battle

?Shaman currently was inside her own mind back in the dungeon where she fought the skeleton.

Cold sweat was running down her face as the feelings she was having before were getting stronger and stronger. Her breath grew heavier as the scene of Elysia dying kept being played in front of her.

Soon it was just Elysia on the ground dead and the skeleton knight standing there staring Shaman down.

"AHHHHHHH!!!" Shaman grabbed her head and started to scream as now the pain was getting too much for her to handle.

"IT'S NOT REAL, SHE NEVER DIED." Shaman tried to get herself to calm down as she was told that it was not her blood and Elysia was still alive and breathing in front of her but for some reason Shaman was still being affected by her pseudo death.

She continued to scream till eventually the feeling of fear and pain was gone and she was able to think again.

Shaman looked up and noticed something when she just looked at Elysia, the encroaching feeling did not scream out but whenever she looked right at the skeleton her head would spin and the pain would come back.

Shaman once again held her head and looked away from the skeleton so the pain could calm down.

Shaman was catching her breath as she seemingly figured out the problem.

"Looks like the issue is the skeleton, not Elysia herself." Shaman figured the fear was coming from the skeleton and not the death of Elysia.

"It must be the fear of facing it and the possibility of it not turning out like it did last time, looks like i need to be able to kill it to get over it." Shaman despite not being in an ideal state was able to guess the reason and hoped that this was the case.

"If I just need to kill it then fine, come at me." Shaman caught her breath and stood with confidence but when she went to look at the skeleton she was paralyzed and could not move a muscle. The fear started to build up again and her head started to burn like crazy.

"Please just move, I… I need to move on." Shaman's view started to distort as the Skeletons figure grew bigger and bigger till it completely towered over her.

Shaman fell to her knees as her legs gave out and tears started to come out uncontrollably. Shaman helplessly looked up as she watched the skeleton knight continue to fill up her view. She eventually passed out as she could no longer take it and fell to the floor.

"It's okay we are here now."

"Shaman it is okay I am here now, please look at me."

Shaman could hear the voice of Himeko and Elysia as she slowly began to open her eyes, she was once again greeted with the underground tomb-like place and could see that the skeleton was nowhere to be found.

Shaman had panicked for a moment and tried to move but was unable to as it could have been behind her but since nothing came she calmed down a little.

'I'm still here?' Shaman was still shaken up by what she saw and found it very hard to get up. Shaman after trying managed to sit up but was unable to move her legs.

"Shit." Despite being in her own head the whole thing feels too real to her.

"Is someone doing this on purpose?" Shaman could not help but feel like this was being caused by someone else as even the memories did not feel as real as this did.

Shaman did not think about it for too long as she saw in the distance a very familiar figure slowly approach her.

Shaman's breathing started to get faster as she started to panic.

"Fuck, fuck , FUCK!!!!" Shaman screamed out as she was unable to move much at all, she tried dragging herself across the floor backwards but she was not fast enough to escape.

Shaman continued to move back while she stared at the Skeleton knight slowly approaching her. The walls also started to close in making it feel suffocating for her. Shaman's movements became more erratic as she was now in full panic mode.

The skeleton knight could be seen clearly and was about 25 meters away from her.

"No, no, no, please don't come any closer." Shaman began to sob as she tried her best to get away from the skeleton knight.

Shaman's arms grew weak till they stopped working and could only lay helplessly on the floor looking at the skeleton knight.

The skeleton knight was now standing right infront of her wielding its demon sword pointing it right at Shaman's face.

"AHHHHHH!!" Shaman screamed with all her might as she wore a terrified face looking at the skeleton knight till eventually it pierced her skull.

**

"AAAAHHHHH!" Shaman shot up and screamed while also grabbing her head where she was stabbed.

Elysia grabbed a hold of her again as Shaman escaped her previous hold and instantly started to pat her head.

"Shaman it's okay, I'm alive and well." Elysia was trying her best to not break down again. It was hard enough to see Shaman squirm around and be in pain for the time that Shaman was out.

Shaman let out heavy breaths as she grabbed hold of Elysia as hard as she could, the fear she was feeling was still there and Elysia's presence was slowly getting rid of it. Shaman also began to sob as it was the most terrifying thing she had ever felt and was glad it was over.

"Shhhhh, it's okay." Elysia's voice was shaky but she stayed strong as she continued to let Shaman cry on her shoulder for as long as she needed.

Himeko let out a sigh as the whole situation was stressing her out and it seemed to have become a much greater issue than anticipated.

"I'm going to go look for something, I'll be back, make sure to look after her." Himeko quickly left to go get something and Elysia continued to hold Shaman who was now quietly sobbing on her shoulder.

Wolfy had also sat behind Elysia so he could see Shaman's face. Wolfy lifted up his paw to pat Shaman's head. Although it looked uncomfortable Elysia found it very cute but was also very happy to see Wolfy trying his best to help console Shaman.

A few more minutes had passed and Shaman had finally calmed down and was no longer crying since the fear had finally disappeared.

Elysia also used some tissues to clean up the mess and Shaman's face.

"Thank you." Shaman spoke in a low voice as her throat was not feeling well and could not speak much. Elysia smiled at her which warmed Shaman's heart and caused her to smile as well.

"Anything for my love but please don't force yourself, clearly you are still not okay so take it slow." Elysia could see the exhausted look on Shaman and so they waited for Himeko to return.

Elysia began to cuddle with Shaman while Wolfy laid in Shaman's lap. This was a very comforting feeling and Shaman did not want it to end as she felt like she was in the safest place in the world away from all the dangers.

After cuddling for 15 minutes Himeko had finally returned and came back with a small wooden box.

Elysia was rather curious about what it could be as it may help Shaman.

Shaman had her eyes closed since she was soaking in the current feeling of warmth and comfort from her girlfriend and Wolfy.

"I have some medicine that should allow Shaman to be able to sleep peacefully." Himeko figured that Shaman would not be able to sleep so she went out to get medicine that allows for a good night's sleep.

Shaman opened her eyes as she was surprised to hear that sleeping pills existed in this world but was also glad since the thought of sleeping scared her a little.

"She just needs to take one pill right before she sleeps and it should knock you out." Himeko smiled since right now they needed a good sleep. Elysia nodded and took the box from Himeko and opened it up.

The box was filled with white looking pills which had enough to last for more than a few months.

"Alright I say we head to bed, I need to rest." Elysia could imagine the comfort of her bed as the floor they have been sitting on is not the most comfortable. Shaman nodded and Wolfy moved off Shaman's Lap.

"I will take you to your bed so don't worry about moving." Himeko clicked her fingers and fire started to wrap around them.

"Also goodnight and sweet dreams." After Himeko finished talking they were transported and found themselves on top of their bed.

Elysia let out a sigh and took out one of the pills.

"Alright let's get to sleep." Elysia handed over the pill to Shaman and began to pull the covers over them. Wolfy got comfortable at the end of the bed as he wanted to stay near Shaman.

Shaman nodded since she could not quite speak properly yet and took the pill and swallowed it with no issues. Shaman got closer to Elysia so they could cuddle and in a few seconds Shaman was already knocked out by the pill.

'Wow that pill really works fast.' Elysia was amazed by how quickly it took effect.

'Well let's hope we wake up nice and peaceful.'
