New Friend
I trotted away from the child ever so cautiously, moving away I was afraid to startle it. I then ran away into a forest(hunting area) without thinking where I was going I crouched down and listened for noise... "its to quiet" I thought to myself. I crawled into an abandoned den(as so I thought). the silence was later then broken due to a sharp bark I tucked my tail under my legs and shouted "who is there". A young voice then replied with a slow growl "why are you in my den". His scent filled my lungs it was the scent of a fox... show yourself I shouted. He the moved out from the dim lit cave and revealed his sleek pelt it was coloured a bright amber and his eyes were as solid as gold. Who are you I asked cautiously to the unknown fox. He replied with a calm and collected tone "my name is Achilles". Do you know this is a hunting ground he said. Surprised I moved back and wondered how I couldn't see the sign. "You better get out while you can they will find us sooner or later" he said. Not without you I urged him to move to a safer area. We started to paw our way through the forest and then we paused to listen for noise... strangely no noise was heard at all. I saw a glimmer of faint light and there it was a bullet shell lying in front of me next to my paw! I told Achilles to hide in the undergrowth while I dashed separate paths. I rapidly turned around and whipped my head as I heard bushes rustle. "Achilles are you there." I faintly muttered. Thankfully there he was looking relieved and shocked. "There is no hunter in sight it's safe for us to tread further." I said. Taking my first few steps out of the bushes I checked behind me to see Achilles of which he was still behind me checking our rear. I halted unable to move like I've been cast upon by a spell. Then came a wave of pain crippling my left hindquarter. I look down eyes wide yowling in fear it's jaws latched to my leg unable to let go. It was made of steel and the teeth had big serrations, it was a leg hold trap. Achilles tried to calm me down but i couldn't stop crying. The pain was slowly fading away and my vision blurred I slowly began to whimper and all fell black.
