The Fox Child

Preface

She always knew she as different. From all the other kids. First thing is, she was found in the forest, alone. Her past was completely unknown. She was found by a 20-year-old woman named Avery, who was collecting berries when she tripped over her. It was autumn time and she was found in the leaves. The poor little baby was only a few months old so the woman took the little baby home with her and named her Autumn. The little baby grew and grew. She had beautiful red hair, brown eyes, and peach skin. The sun glinted through her hair and she was truly beautiful. Another odd and unique thing about her is when she was two years old she would talk to animals. Especially foxes. Avery noticed that more foxes were found around her home when she brought Autumn home. Autumn never knew that Avery was not her mother, so Avery was fine being called Mom. Avery was always so happy to have Autumn as her daughter that when Autumn was a young girl, Avery would take her to the meadow she found herself when she was nine years old. They called that their meadow and would go down and play. Avery would often sit on the fallen tree and watch Autumn chase butterflies and then jump up and down in the stream. They were as happy as can be.
