A/N Every chapter reverts back to Dylan's POV unless told otherwise.

Darkness. It's all I see, darkness, darkness and, oh what's that over there? More darkness. It's so dark I can't see my paw in front of my face.
"W-where am I!" I shout. I'll be honest, I'm scared. I'm met with silence, then,
"In your mind..." a voice whispers from somewhere in the all consuming darkness.
"W-who's t-there?!" I call. I'm beginning to freak out now and the clicking noises aren't helping much.
I know I have to calm down, so I close my eyes and take a deep breath, hold it for a couple of seconds, and release. I repeat this a couple of times and my heart starts to slow down. Thinking more clearly now, I realise I faintly recognise the clicking. It sounds almost like... and I realise. Claws. Long claws tapping on a smooth surface.
"Why am I here?" I call.
"Who are you?" My only response is more clicking. I stop and think, evaluate all information I have recieved. Whoever's out there said that this was my mind, in that case I should be able to... the sudden light hurts my eyes after so long in darkness. I blink back tears and focus on my surroundings. There's nothing in front of me, nothing to the left and right of me too. Then the clicking starts up again. From behind me. I whip around and there sits a... I'm not sure what it is. It's on all fours, has red fur and golden eyes, long claws that look wicked sharp and it seems to be... smiling?
What is this creature in front of me? We stare at eachother for a long time before it comes to me. I've read enough history books to know that this... this is a fox. A feral, as we called them in the orphanage. But, what's it doing here?
"Wh-who are you?" I ask quietly.
"But, do you not recognise me, Dylan?" He replies, and I know it's a 'he' from his voice.
It takes a moment to place him, the red-brown fur, the large fox ears.
The only thing I don't recognise are the golden eyes. And it hits me. Yes I recognise him, I see his face everyday. Every time I look in a mirror.
