     Aaric woke up to pots clashing down and he immediately stood up because he was either a light sleeper or he's just paranoid. "Who's there?" He slowly picks up his hunting rifle "I got a rifle and I'm not afraid to use it!" He cautiously crept over to the sound only to find his little fox rummaging through. It made quite a mess. "Silly Emerald you cute little thing" He approached her "you hungry?"  Emerald scratched his pants and whined. "Let's go find something to eat then." Still holding his rifle, he went outside to hunt. Only to see a terrible sight. A wildfire. "Oh no" he gazed at the horrific sight for moment remembering his past.

     "Mom don't leave!"  "Sorry love but  you must stay here where it's safe,"  The little boy cried "Mom no don't leave me here! Mom no! No!" The trapdoor was shut. The little boy heard screams and wailing from the other side. He tucked between his legs and softly cried. When the commotion died down he opened he went out of his little refuge and saw nothing but ashes. He was all alone until a little fox came to him and licked away his tears. "Thanks little buddy but I think we're all alone now." He sniffed. "we're all alone."

     "We're all alone"
