Deep, deep in the forest...
There is a fox cub, small and helpless.
This cub is "special" both visually and in itself, special.
Instead of the typical orange fur you see on foxes, its fur is black and white, in and of itself already striking.
But the most important part, their curse.
Let's just say, this little fox has a "curse", unfortunately.
Every animal that touches them, dies either instantly or slowly....
That's why, this little dark furred cub is all alone, in the forest. They have no one; no one to take care of them, to feed them, to help them....
..
...
The cub laid his head down on the soft grass of the forest and sighed.
<<Just another day...>>
The cub looked up at the sky. The trees covered almost everything, but some clouds could still be seen peeking through those trees...
<<I think I'm going to close my eyes, just for a moment...>> thought the little one.
And they closed them, for a while.
Something like a nap
In the meantime....
There was also another puppy nearby in that same forest, unlike the other one, this one was "normal". Mischievous, playful, just every other little fox in the forest.
And, this little cub, orange like the others, was lost in the forest.
They weren't at all frightened, after all they were very exploratory and curious....
This little one was just running through the forest,
until,
They noticed another little fox, but this one stood out, because instead of being orange with black white, it was black with white. It was sleeping.
Curious, the orange one headed towards the sleeping cub.
The cub, which was not quite asleep, saw them.
As the orange one slowly approached...
The curious cub came even closer, to sniff them,
And when they were close enough, the black furred cub quickly got up and walked away.
"Don't touch me!", shouted the black-furred fox.
"Ah, you're awake!", the orange fox exclaimed in fright.
The orange cub then stood still and analyzed the dark-furred one without making even a sound.
"Your fur is so cute, I usually only see orange foxes!".
The curious cub approached the fox, who only moved further and further away from them.
"You don't like physical contact?", the orange one subtly turned their head down to the side.
"N-No...". The dark furred one turned their head to the side and refused to look at them, "Oh, well, that's okay! but can we be friends?". The orange one looked at the dark-furred one anxiously waiting for an answer.
The black fox looked down at the ground, they wanted to say 'no' but they were so lonely... They didn't want to keep on living in complete loneliness until the day they died. So after thinking about it, they raised their head looking at the orange fox who was waiting for their answer.
"Okay."
"Really?", the orange fox wacked their tail excitedly.
"Yes, but if we're friends, you can't touch me for hugs, or for anything".
"Hm... Okay! I don't care, I just want to be your friend!", they replied, and then quickly the lighter furred one sat down next to their new friend and began to talk to them.
Although the other fox was a little afraid to talk since they hadn't done so in a long time, they soon felt more comfortable and began to open up more with their new orange friend.
And then, hours passed like minutes, and minutes passed like seconds. Then, it was already quite late, the moon was already starting to show and quite a few stars were already starting to appear in the dark skies.
"Uh-Oh, it's already too late, my mom must be worried...", the orange fox said after looking up at the already dark sky.
The dark furred fox stood up
"You should go to your mom before it gets even darker. I should get going too..."
And so, the orange fox also stood up and turned around, ready to run towards their house.
Then, "See you tomorrow?". The orange fox asked before leaving. "Sure, be careful on your way back home."
"See you tomorrow!", the orange fox said before running off towards their home.
And, the dark furred one stood there for a while and then started to walk off towards a cave to sleep.
Unknown to them, they had just started a story that was going to be longer than they thought.
