It's late fall and early winter, you're wearing an orange jacket. You are walking home from school. As you're heading home, you hear the smallest of whimpers coming from the woods

You: Hm?

You head towards the whimpering cries for help. You find what was whimpering. It is a lone fox

You: Aww

You crouch down and extended your arm to pet the fox but the fox becomes scared and tries scooting away

You: W-Wait I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you

You slowly extend your arm towards the fox's nose. The fox hesitantly sniffs the tip of your finger, then your fingers, then your palm

You: Are you okay?

The fox looks at you for a moment

You: Are you hurt?

The fox then looks at his leg then back towards you

You: Oh, your leg is injured, huh?

You think for a moment while the fox looks at you in confusion

You: I could take you home and take care of you until you're healed

The fox then scooted away a little in fear

You: It'll be fine, you can trust me, I have a bunny that I take care of

You extend your hand

You: Can I take care of you?

The fox hesitated in moving towards you but then he started whimpering and curled up into a ball due to the pain throbbing in its leg

You: Oh no, are you okay?

You pick up the fox but as you picked up the fox, it growls

You: I-It's okay, I'll take care of you

You softly pet the fox. The fox then stopped growling and began to snug into your arms

You: I promise I'll heal you

You stand up with the fox in your arms. You then began to look around

You: But first....

You take off your jacket and cover the fox so that no one sees the fox

You:....you can't be seen by these other human beings

You walked out of the woods and back to your normal route to your house with the fox in your arms covered by your jacket

You place a dog bed on the ground next to your bed

You: It's not much but it's the closest thing I could find

The fox looks at you confused

You: I've never had a fox before, Okay?

The fox continued looking at you

You: Give me a break here. Now...

You pick up the fox

You:...let's take a look at your leg here
