The Last of Wilbur Soot

{ The Cavern with a Fox}

Note: This is the first story I'm writing, so I won't be that good. So I apologize for the bad writing.

______________________________

*Wilbur walks down the stairs into the cavern that he and Tommy lived in during their exile, as Wilbur gets to the bottom of the stairs he sees Fundy mining, Wilbur stops and stares for a moment*

"Fundy?" Wilbur says

Fundy turns around and sees Wilbur standing in front of him.

"...Hello Wilbur..." Fundy says as his paw grips the pickaxe

"H-how have you been?" Wilbur says because he didn't expect to find Fundy in the cavern

"Umm I'm been better so..." Fundy says avoiding eye contact with Wilbur

"What have you been doing? Have you just been here the entire time? Like it looks like you've been here for a while man." Wilbur says looking at the tunnel Fundy was mining

"Umm well no not really, I've been around and I just came down here to get some ore and stuff." Fundy said putting his pickaxe in a chest next to him

"That's good that's good" Wilbur says

After a few moments of silence Wilbur starts to walk away from Fundy and back up the stairs

"Sorry Fundy I have to go. But it was nice seeing you again. I was going to talk with Niki before I ran into you, again I'm sorry. I'll see you around." Wilbur says timidly while turning back to Fundy

"Oh yea ok. Just leave me again yea ok. It not like you've ever done that before, NEVER DONE THAT TO ME BEFORE, YOU'VE NEVER DONE THAT!" Fundy yells as Wilbur walks up the stairs of the cavern

*Wilbur freezes out of surprise and turns around to meet Fundy's eyes full of anger and hurt*

*Wilbur stands on the steps for a few seconds before walking down and over to Fundy*

"...Fundy I-" Wilbur begins but is cut off

"Get out of here Wilbur. I don't want to see you." Fundy says

"...I know I wasn't the best dad and I know I left you before I died, I didn't want to leave you Fundy. I never wanted to put you in all this...I never wanted you to get caught in all the chaos." Wilbur says

"So why...why didn't you turn away....we could have left. We could of ran away and we could of been a family again... was I not a good enough son for you..." Fundy's  voice cracks and tears start to form in his eyes

*Wilbur is saddened by this, the feeling of hurt grows in his chest, it tightens and it feels hard to breath.*

"I-I was caught up in the moments of what was happening at the time. And now I know I should of gone back for you and taken you with me and that I shouldn't of left you." Wilbur says

*The moment of silence that passes is painful and sad.*

"I- w- why don't we go fishing...you always would ask me if we could go fishing." Wilbur says, the sound of feeling hurt is clear in his voice

"...ok" Fundy says quietly
