Charlie's P.O.V.

What the snap crackle pop?! Was that really them??!!! What the goddess! I must be day dreaming again. I pinch myself to make sure I'm awake. *pinches self* ouch! Well I know two things for sure; that I officially lost it and that I pinch really hard.

I look to the animals in disbelief and amazement.
"Wait. What.... Did that fox just talk??!!" I shout in disbelief.

"I SAAAAIIIIID. ARE YOU OKAAAAAY CHILD??!!" Rose said in angrily, voice dripping with a heavy southern accent.

Who does she think she's talking to??!!! Hatter said in fury

'Well who shoved a 2 by 4 up her butt???!!!!' I thought defensively

"Why are being so rude?" I said defiantly.

"WHO YOU CALLIN' RUDE little girl. I bet you still wear diapers??!!"

Oh hell no!!!!! Who the f*ck does she think she is???!!!!

'Calm down Hatter. We shouldn't start conflict around Lucas' I reply trying to dissolve the harsh feelings

Why are you defending that scavenger??!! she shouts furiously

Letting out an angry snarl I trying to suppress the waves of hatred that was threatening to pour out from Hatter. The animals were taken by surprise at the ferociousness of the snarl. They backed up with caution. I take deep breaths trying to calm the inferno of rage within.

Hatter you have to calm down you're going to scare the animals

F*ck them they can go straight to hell

Take a deep breath and think about what you're about to do. Do you really want start a big conflict and put Lucas in harm's way?

No...

Then be quiet and let me handle this.

Fine but I want a word with that fox.

Taking another deep breathe I feel a hand on my thigh, I look down to see guarding the animals protectively. The sight made Hatter growl once again.

"Are you ok big sis?"

"I'm fine. It's just that Hatter doesn't like being disrespected." I say giving a sharp look to the red fox. The red fox looked almost panicked and replied.

"All I wanted to know if you were ok.... I guess so...." in a quiet voice.

"I'm sorry if I made any of you scared just now.... But if you were in your home and was suddenly being yelled at you would've felt disrespected too." I said calmly.

"We wouldn't know how you feel." The cub said quietly.

"What do you mean?" Lucas questioned.

"We've never truly had a place to call home...." The raccoon replies sadly.

'Now look why did we have to say that?' I thought sadly in defeat.
