Fox In The Wolf Den

Emergency

LEOS' POV.

Huh?

I wake up, and stretch .
I start to wander, until I accidentally bump into Oscar again in a book shop.

He asks, "Why are you down here?"
I reply, "Lost."

He nods, and passes me a book.
It's wolf history.

He tells me, "Unlike the foxes, we give history and educational for free."

I thank him and he slips it into a bag and I pick it up.

Then, I ask, "Why does no one like shi..."

A big paw is over my mouth.
He growls, "Aha. Read this. It'll make more sense then. Let's say, read it early, not late at night."

I look at the cover, and he smiles.

A big wolf is on the front.

He looks at me, and smirks.
Then, he looks at the time, cursing.

He tells me, "Gotta go. You should get to school too."

I call, "Bu..."

Then, thr angry headmistress appears.

I try to explain, hiding the bag.

She snaps, "Stay. Away. From. The. Stupid. Mangy. Wolves!"

All the wolves growl.

I try and break away.

She snarls. "If you don't stay away from those dam wolves, I'll have you in detention for the rest of your sad life!"

I feel a heavy weight around my neck, and jerk back.

Why am I even bothering to fight?

Oscar comes up beside me, and snarls.
His hackles are raised, eyes wild.

His tail swishes with annoyance.

He Headmistress snatches my keys.

She snaps, "Fine. I see how this is. You go to wolf school. Go get eaten. See if I care. See yah at the funeral."
I snap back, "Fine!"

She leaves.

The wolves in the book store come up to me.

No panic rises in my chest.
No fear.

A huge silvery wolf sniffs me, shrugs, and wanders off.
The others do to.

I ask Oscar, "What does that mean?"
He smiles, and tells me, "We gotta get back to.."
He freezes, eyes wide.

He stutters, "To...to...to.. um... um... um...."

The other wolves look at me like there's nothing wrong.

Then, I hear wolves whispering, "Why is the Headmaster of Foz here? What's with the new fox?"

I feel a tug on my ear.

I turn to Oscar, who cries, "Can't catch me, fox!"

I cry, "Oh yah?"
He barks back, "Yah!"

He takes off, and I chase after him.

We dive into the snow, and the chase resumes.

Older wolves we pass look on after us shocked.

I look to the up coming doors.

We bounc inside, and up some stairs made of ice.

Then, a big man stops us.

He glares down at us as we skid to a stop on the ice floor,
