The ground was hard and cold, and your legs were numb.
You moved your head to the side, seeing a leaf glide down to the ground.
The little leaf was followed by a bird flying low.
Indicating that it was going to rain, but you didn't move a muscle.
You heard another bird screech, and a colony of birds flying south.
Winter was coming, and with your pace, it was going to be a painful one.
...
The flames were going high, reaching the stars.
As winter was coming, you choose to burn down your foster parents' home.
The screams were heard, but you didn't move.
A smile crept its way on your face.
The moon was at its fullest, and the only thing keeping you warm, was the flames.
They lit the whole place on fire.
...
You ran through the forest, fall was your favourite season.
Winter was coming, and it was coming fast this year.
You ran in between the trees and leaves falling to the ground.
The clouds were grey, and birds hung low.
But you didn't care, you were going to your little treehouse.
You ran a few hundred meters more, and a big tree stopped your path.
This is your home.
After the incident a few years back, you were left alone.
You had lived in the woods with your family for all your life.
But when your parents passed, everything changed.
You felt tears crawling down your cheeks.
But before you could start another thought process, you heard a howl.
And a few more came into hearing range.
You looked around, but realized that you had walked away from the giant tree.
The howls became louder.
Then Silence.
You ran the other direction, you ran towards the giant tree.
But the sound of branches and leaves getting crushed got to you.
You ran even faster, the pack was close.
And before you knew it, you were on the ground with a massive white and grey fox on you.
The wolves ran right past you and the fox.
Even though you were right to their side.
That was one of the things that a fox can do.
Before you could say thanks, the fox opened its mouth.
