The Red Fox

"To you I'm nothing more than a fox like a hundred other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you'll be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world."
~ Le Petit Prince

The air seemed to chill a lot more now and tiny flakes of snow begun to fall. The clouds seemed to twist and the winds sped up a notch, I felt goosebumps rise up my arms and neck. I shivered, a blizzard was obviously brewing and my horse was nowhere.

I sped up my pace but paused immediately. Standing in the snow beside an old withered cherry tree was a dazzling red fox, his eyes closed and enjoying the cool snow falling over his fur and onto his nose.

I made a low whistle, Foxes aren't stupid but but cool enough to run away once startled. Unlike wolves and Tigers.

His glowing beautiful Amber eyes pierced through mine, almost forming a glare like I had interrupted him. He begun to slowly approach me, but one thing I noticed.

A trail of blood followed him.
