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 tond 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 ss. 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 ck hair and thick perfectly arched eyebrows. She had dark eyes and
an oliveplexion. 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. Iughed 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?
“What is this ce?” I asked.
“This is the Schoo and Spiritual Centre,” said April. “Madame teaches us about modelling her. We walk
for her and she makes us study the movements of cats and foxes so we will be inspired to move like
them on the runway. She gives us spiritual advice too. This particr room is where we meditate.”
I wanted to ask if they had alle here willingly but April seemed very pro-Madame and not
trustworthy. She seemed deeply indoctrinated. I doubted very much that the only reason for the huge
stone fox was as an example of how to be graceful on the runway. Did these girls know that Iwas
kidnapped?
Suddenly, there was a series of gongs and chimes. The girls all whispered excitedly, getting up from
their so-called meditation mats.
“What’s happening?” I asked April and June. “Madame is here.” Third Person “Chase was my best
friend. My only friend,” whispered Dexter. “I’m really sorry,” said Calix softly. “I’m really sorry! About
your mate! Little Luna Chasity!” Eximed Dexter.
“Well, she’s not dead!!” Said Chance suddenly, the older werewolf clutching his chest. Calix rubbed his
back.
“I know, I know. Neither is Chase,” said Dexter
“What do you mean?!”asked Chance indignantly, looking at Dexter as though he were a mad man.
Chance narrowed his eyes. “I watched him buried. I found his body and Deidre’s and my own…m-m-
my own…” :
Chance could not continue. Calix rubbed his shoulder. The older werewolf blew his nose in a tissue,
ovee with emotion. He dabbed his eyes.
“I know you found bodies that looked just like theirs,” said Dexter.
Alex felt a chill creep across him. “What do you mean? Are you saying those bodies were nted there
to be found? That those were not them? That they’re alive somewhere?” Alex asked a series of
questions, eyes narrowed.
Dexter listened to the eldest alpha intently and answered each question one by one. “I mean that magic
can easily make one thing look like another. Chance buried three bodies that greatly resembled
Chalice, Chase and Deidre. Even perfect resemnces perhaps but was DNA done to ensure this
bodies were who we thought they were?” Asked Dexter.
“Yes, I’m saying those bodies were nted there to be found by someone not necessarily Chance.
Anyone who would publicise the alleged deaths,” continued Dexter.
“No, those were not them. Yes, they’re alive somewhere. That is my belief,” said Dexter. Alex was
silent. Was Dexter onto some brilliant discovery or was he simply unhinged? “Where are they then?”
Alex asked.
“That I can’t tell you but i can tell you that the Deidre Binx who became a supermodel is an imposter
and the real Deidre Binx has to be alive somewhere for that type of dark magic to work!” Whispered
Dexter
“Exin how it works,” said Calix eagerly. Was the youngest alpha buying this?
“I have it all documented……,” Dexter began to shuffle a huge star of papers. “No, no, please, exin
in words, paraphrase if you must,” insisted Felix.
Dexter took a deep breath. “The rich and famous in werewolf country have bodysnatchers among
them!” Warned Dexter.
Alex and Felix were silent. Chance had stopped crying but he did not look moved by this. Danny was
looking at a row of DVDs. Only Calix seemed to be listening intendedly. The youngest alpha prompted
Dexter to continue.
“The bodysnatchers are immortal just like werewolves but they have limitations. They need fresh
bodies every time the old body wears thin. They are like parasites and the bodies are hosts. They pick
bodies that are desirable in someway, maybe the person is beautiful, important or they envy the
lifestyle the person has already or what the person has the potential to have,” exined Dexter.
“They may fake the person’s death in one ce and carry on their life with that body in another ce or
they may just carry on living in the same ce as them seamlessly. The first step is scouting or
vetting,” said Dexter. “Meaning they get information about what candidates are out there. The second
step is selection. They pick the body they want and kidnap the person. The kidnapping is technically
the third step, procurement. So after scouting, selection and procurement, they need to do step four.
Preparation of the body for its host. The body must be empty spiritually speaking. They take the
essence of the person out of the desired body and put it somewhere else.”
“Somewhere else?” Asked Calix.
“In an animal, a different empty body, a statue, a doll, preferably in an animal. The next step is
transference, transferring the consciousness of the bodysnatcher into this new host body. The old host
body might killed. The new body is now the bodysnatcher’ until the snatcher needs another body!”
Warned Calix.
“Ok, thank you,” said Felix somewhat impatiently as he stood suddenly to leave.
“So Chalice and Chase and the real Deidre are in an animal or a doll or a statue or just re-trapped
somewhere. It makes sense that Deidre’s body could be being used by some diseases out of the way,”
said Calix, sounding fascinated.
Before Calix could hear the rest, he was being pulled away by his elder brothers. Calix red at them
later in the car.
“Calix, Dexter was filling your head with conspiracy theories and whatnot,” snapped Felix.” We didn’t
come to write a paranormal gossip tabloid rag. We’re looking for Chasity!”
“I know, so am I,” retorted Calix. “And I believe him. Chasity’s parents are alive somewhere and so it
the real Deidre Binx. The only person we need to confront next is the fake Deidre Binx!”

Felix sighed. Alex was of two minds. “Whether or not this bodysnatcher thing is true, we still need to
confront Deidre so we will do that! But first, we need to visit A Fork in the Road cage-fighting club. They
scheduled to have fights tonight, and I wanna see whose there. Some of them may have something to
do with Chasity or her parents.”
The eldest alpha was quite right about that as a certain Dante was fighting tonight.
