Foxes in Crime

The Adventure Begins, and a New Friend

The very next morning, white blanket left. "Come on every one! Time to explore!" called an energetic Sofia. Everyone moaned without saying a word, "I thought we were really gonna do this," Sofia sniffed with her ears down.

"We are," sighed Zoe, "but the sun isn't even up yet."

"So? Better early. If we leave when the sun comes up, we're gonna be hot." Sofia replied. Zoe, (bothered by all of this) got up.

"Fine. You got me up," Zoe huffed," Have fun with Christina. Even though I've only known her for not even a day, I can tell she's really lazy and not cooperative."

Being as sly as she could, Sofia walked over to Christina. Christina didn't suspect a thing. At the end of Christina's moss bed, Sofia jumped on her. "AHHH!" yelled a mad Christina, "Don't do that! Just... like... poke me or something. You don't have to kill me." Sofia had already walked to Zoe.

They all walked until sun high, well, everyone but Christina. They stopped under a giant Oak tree, where the foxes could play, and the fairy horse could rest. Grrr... Christina's stomach went. "Umm... anyone else hungry? I know I am! Hey, we should go hunt. The birds and squirrels should be out now. I promise I won't catch a leaf this time." Christina pleaded.

"Fine," Sofia said, "But what will Zoe eat?"

"Don't worry about me. The grass here seems really fresh. And plus, I can go look for some berries." Zoe claimed.

After that was settled, Sofia and Christina went hunting. Sofia caught a mouse (her favorite), a bird, and a squirrel. As for Christina, she caught all that tripled. "You weren't kidding." Sofia said in awe.

"Nope. I was really feeling it today. I don't know why." There was silence as they looked at the feast they were about to eat, when suddenly, they herd Zoe's magical neigh. They followed the sound of her cry. They found her by a Birtch tree with a strange creature. "Zoe! Calm down! It's just..." Christina was cut off.

"Leave my territory. I do not welcome you here." The creature hissed.

"What are you?" Sofia questioned as Zoe walked over to them.

"What am I?! What am I?! You're acting like you've never seen a cat before," The cat once again hissed. Everyone looked at each other, then at the cat. This was a beautiful tuxedo cat. All paws had spots that made it look like gloves. The tail was tipped with a small amount of white. And the chest was partially white, with a black bow. You could say that its fur made it look like a butler, "I'm Jazlyn... Now, WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE?!"

Everyone was frightened of this creature. Sofia was about to say something, but a small white fluffy creature came out from behind Jazlyn. "Mom? What's going on?" it questioned.

"Nothing Marshy. Go back to Poppa Cat." Jazlyn replied calmed and licked the little creatures head. Jazlyn looked embarrassed.

"Was that your child?" questioned Sofia scared.

"Yes... That's Marshmallow, or Marshy. Shes only seven months old, and I'm always busy... trying to protect our forest and all.." She stopped and looked at Zoe's bleeding leg, "Oh my god... I'm so sorry... I... I..." She stopped. Zoe's leg healed immidatly. "H-how?"

"She's a fairy horse. She has powers to do stuff like that." Sofia replied.

Christina walked over to Jazlyn. She circled around her a few times. "You've been through a lot. You have scars from some kind of fight with another animal... something like a fox." Jazlyn couldn't take it. She started talking about her story. "Hmm... tough life I assume."

"Yes, so if you could just leave my forest, thanks bye." She said as she walked away.

"Wait, if we come back to your forest, will you be mad.?" Zoe questioned.

"Mmmm.... Let's just say we're "friends" ok?"
