(By the way the picture on top is fritz, shes a cute little loaf of a fox)

He jumps onto a deer as the others scattered away and fritz went in circles and in zigzags trying to chase the deer.

I grab the deer that chandler has to help him and the deer starts kicking in the air trying to get me off, eventually he succeeds and I fly off landing on my back and I feel something snap. Chandler eventually kills the deer and drags it in the woods as fritz follows him out of breath from the nonstop chasing. I try to get up but it feels like my back weighs a ton...I can't get up.
I crawl over to the log and the river,
as I grab onto the log I lose balance and fall off landing in the river as it carries me away. Fritz chases me and chandler debates whether he should leave the deer and save me or not risk losing his meal. I feel a little hurt by that and feel the water get less shallow. I turn around to see where this creek leads and see the water start to fall my eyes widen and I try my hardest to swim the other way but the water hitting my stomach is forcing me down

Fritz runs out of breath from not exercising more, and I close my eyes ready to shake hands with the devil until something bites on my neck just as I was about to fall and I open my eyes to see im hanging above the rocky doom below me.

Chandler was trying his best not to let go of me and let me drop as Fritz crawled over to us and passed out due to lack of oxygen. Chandler lifts me up and pulls me to my feet trying to get me to the deer we previously captured, but as I try to walk I remember the huge amount of pain coming from my back as I realized my backbone probably broke.

I stumble back down and chandler rolls me over with his snout and onto his back as he drags Fritz along .

We get to the deer and he puts me down and checks to see if some animal came and took a bite out of it, after he was satisfied with his inspection he sat down to rest. "So...did something happen?" I looked at Chandler a little confused at the sudden question, "I mean like with your body...is it hurt? Did you hurt your paw or..." I chuckled at his concern.

"No, I think I broke my backbone." I sigh and try to take my mind off the pain. Not even realizing my whimpering is attracting Chandler to me, He gets up and walks away. At first I think he is leaving me to rot until he comes back and stands on top of me.
(͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

He wraps something around my back and stomach and starts counting, just as I'm about to asks he yanks it and I let out a loud and painful yelp. I hear a gross snap and assumed he snapped my bone back into place. Though it hurts like hell at least I can walk, Chandler shoots me an apologetic look then his ear twitches and he snaps his head towards were the source of noise is coming from. His eyes widen and he pushes me and fritz into a bush.

"Hide, don't make noise and don't come out" I try to reply but he hushes me and goes back to the deer, grabs its neck  and starts to drag it away. Just then a wolf jumps out of a bush and tackles Chandler, I was bout to defend him but then I remembered what he said and hesitantly lay back down in the bush feeling useless and awaiting what came next. Soon Chandler and the other wolf started laughing as if they werent just fighting, "Bodie!! What are you doing here you sly dog!" Chandler wacks the wolf im assuming to be "Bodie"  with his tail Chandler was pushing Bodie to my direction like he was planning to introduce us.

Just then a taller wolf, taller and looks a lot stronger that both of them comes out of the woods and aproaches them. They immediately stop fooling around and stand straight with blank expressions "Oh um hi Alpha Hitch" Chandler says like some sort of robot.

I groan, alphas are the worst! There so strict and bossy, if I was in a pack I would make my own rules and do what I want, not get bossed around like some pet! The alpha looks behind Chandler to the deer that we killed, "Well son, at first I thought you ran away or you were slacking and playing around you were gone so long. But seeing this giant animal, I know its probably really heavy to drag. Well you must be exhausted from hunting and dragging that deer, well take care of it from here." The alpha pushes Bodie to the deer as if saying bodie is helping.

They drag the deer away and Chandler follows close behind, he looks back at me and winks as he dissolves into the woods.

I stay there for a while and then realized it was night. I sigh and look over to fritz who is asleep and putting her weight on me, I slap her with my paw and she jolts awake "SHAZ NIPS!!!" She screams i look at her confused but then laugh and we make our way back to the dens.
