Something is Very, Very, Wrong... [cancellation likeY]

Prologue- the End

She believed life was a miracle. The little fox was quick, and she loved to run. Sometimes she ran so fast she could even feel that if she closed her eyes she might be flying. She would run as fast as she could until she got all tired out. Almost all her life was just her small section of territory, but it was home. Why did she need to see everything out there if everything she ever wanted was here. And more importantly they were here. Her lovely mate. Her mate was quite unique because they had a white spot around their left eye and unusually pale fur. These distinctions made them easier to spot than they would've liked but hawks and humans rarely came into the thick undergrowth of which they spent most of their days. The forest was freeing and safe. Their own little haven. Though winters might be tough and hunters are a risk the sound of the birds and the feeling of the soft dirt were always reminders of how much she loved this place. Everything made her feel at peace.

She ran through the fields next to their forest as often as possible with her paws carrying her as fast as she could. She walked together with her mate every night, watching the stars and the moon as they rose from the darkness that the sun had left, before dozing off in their soft warm fur.

This fall, life was free, prey was plentiful though quickly beginning to hide for winter, the breeze was cool, and she loved life in the forest as much as ever.

Then on one of the crisp autumn days she was out hunting. The sun was shining and warming anything it's light touched but the autumn breeze chilled the shade and brung the whispers of winter. Between the scents of bushes and fresh fallen leaves, she smelled something. She also heard it digging. A squirrel. It was burying acorns in the roots of a tree for winter. It was working away with not a care in the world. Distracted. An easy catch. As long as she didn't screw this up...

'Okay,' she thought to herself 'I can do this' she blinked her eyes slowly to help her calm down and concentrate. She crouched down and moved slowly listening to her instincts and reacting alertly to the slightest of sounds. She stealthily crept across the leaf litter on the forest floor towards the squirrel, carefully avoiding sticks and particularly crunchy leaves. As she got closer she realized how hungry she was. The last time she had eaten was yesterday morning. And with all the prey hiding away for the coming winter, the prey was getting sparse.

Her hunger made her impatient. She stepped more recklessly now but faster. She was so close to a pouncing distance when, SNAP! A twig under her back paw broke in half and it alerted the squirrel.

The squirrel perked its ears up and panicked. It tried to climb the tree, but the fox quickly changed direction so she was already diving towards the tree too. She HAD to catch this squirrel. The squirrel changed courses again and darted towards the hot black path that cut through the fox's territory.

Shocked at the squirrel's braveness she stood there for a second before gaining confidence and darting across the path. The path hurt to walk on. There was nowhere on it to escape the sharp stones that poked up everywhere until the other side. She made it 3 strides into the road, slowed down by the unpleasant surface and stopped. The ground started to vibrate a bit. She could feel it coming up through her paws. She closed her eyes in fear. The whole world was shaking. It got worse and worse and she could hear something BIG moving towards her at a frightening speed. She crouched down trying to make herself look smaller and a non valuable prey item. She peeled her eyes open after barely a second and saw a huge shiny box hurdling at her with odd circles underneath it. It got closer and closer and she was too scared to move. Suddenly it made a big noise, as if it was growling or roaring straight in her ear. She knew it had seen her. She stood up and puffed out her back and tail. Her intimidation did not work. It didn't stop. If anything it was moving faster than before! The fox's brain flooded with panic. Her legs became heavy and she was too scared to move. Something about this big treacherous thing and it's loud noises and hot and painful path held her in place and refused to release her from its grasp. She wanted to scream she wanted to move she wanted to get away but she stayed frozen.The thing made louder angry noises as it sped up towards her.
