~Whisper~

       I yawn as I pull myself out of my slumber, stretching, I walked myself to the clearing of the camp. My ears twitch to the sound of someone's pawsteps, moving my head towards the sound I see a white fox, known as Moon. She was heading towards to her den feed her kits. Her kits, Scribble, and Flare were absolutely adorable! I ran up to greet her.

"Hello Moon!" I said warmly, giving her a smile.

"Why hello Whisper." She replied, returning the smile I shot at her.

"Is that for Scribble and Flare?" I asked the other fox, cocking my head while eyeing the plump thrush that dangled in her jaw.

She nodded in answer.

"Cool! See you later Moon!" I called over my shoulder bouncing off to eat.

I nosed through the pile, my mouth watering at the smell of delicious prey. I settled on a plump mouse, I grasped it in my jaws as I heard my friends call.

"You can sit over here Whisper!" A light gray and white fox called. Joy. She was sitting next to her friends, sharing a circle while they devoured their meal. Her friends noticed me, making room for me to join them.

Trotting I made my way towards the group, holding my prey in my jaws. I squeezed between Rain and Colt and thanked Joy.

I was in the middle of a training session with Oak and Soi when he stopped in his tracks.

Oak twitched her ears,"What is it?"

Soi sniffed around, his nose scuffling the ground. He made his way behind a bush. Oak and I shared confused glances, smelling the air for the scent Soi had found. Nothing seemed peculiar, I shrugged. Not before hearing rustling of the leaves as a gray fox jumped out of the bushes. The new scent filled my nose as I looked back up at Soi.

"Found him." He puffed his chest out in triumph.

              I looked down to the new fox. He was dirty but his pelt was smooth, he was gray with white markings and gray ear tips, and his shoulder looked pretty beaten up. I looked around to see if he had company. None. I guess he is a singular. What I did see is the rest of the pack, circling around the newcomer, sniffing to get information about the new fox. His fur stood on end while his eyes glittered with uncomfortableness, his ears were flattened to his head with his fluffy tail curled around him. He already feels like a brother to me, I want to go defend him and tell him that no one is going to hurt him, but if I did that, Twig would mock me for the rest of my life. I guess the group of foxes gathered around the newcomer radiated lots of attention because our leader noticed us. He strided over, the foxes circling the frightened singlular gave space. He gathered up the courage to look up at the leader. Our leader was a black and white fox. With blue eyes so icy it felt like it could dig on your skin. His name was Night and he was greatly respected among the packs. His deputy, a brown fox, named Leaf, trailed behind Night. 

"Stand up." Night ordered to the frightened loner, his broad voice sent a shudder down my spine. The gray fox wearily stood up. His ears and eyes still alert. Night's gaze bored into him, the newcomer must of felt the heat of it because he wasn't giving proper eye contact with our leader. Night leaned in, the fox flinched as he drew nearer.

"What is your name?" Night asked.

The singluar opened his mouth to talk, nothing came out. As if he decided not to talk he closed his mouth, he decided to look at his paws, shrugging at the question he was given. Night narrowed his eyes, calling over Moon who rushed next to his side. Moon was Night's mate as well as our medic. I watch her drag her eyes on the fox, taking in his features. She gave a small gasp along with a small flinch. The gray fox looked up, his snout peeling to a slight snarl as he saw Moon. I felt tension break in the air as a Night growled back in return, stepping defensively in front of his mate. The newcomer took a small step back, his ears pressing against his head in hostility. 

"Oak, Rain and Moon." Night's voice broke the silence.

The foxes' ears perked up at the mention of their names. 

"Take him towards the den and get some information out of him." He ordered.

Assigned with the task each fox nodded in response.

"Everybody else, go back to what you were doing."

The group fell apart as I went to Soi. I glided towards him. His amber eyes still surprised of what just happened. He shook his head, his features changing from surprised to alert. He snapped his attention towards me.

"Woah dude! You tracking skills are on point!" I complemented.

"Thanks!" He jumped In excitement. "What do we do now? Oak is with that new fox." 

I frown, oh yeah. My shoulders droop, but I feel Soi's fur rise in excitement. 

"Hey! We could spy on that new fox and maybe become friends with him!" Soi piped up.

I nod in agreement as we traispe towards the Medicine den.
