Hey guys, this is a new story. I hope you guys enjoy. A favorite and follow would be much appreciated. Have fun reading!
Once upon a time, in a light happy forest, there lived four good friends. One fox, his fur the color of bricks. One bunny, her fur as purple as violets. A bear, his fur the color cocoa. And a chicken, her feathers as yellow as the sun. An odd group, but they lived happily with each other in the forest. A well known story in the forest, was of a golden bear and a golden bunny, and that they would reek havoc in the forest. The group had heard rumors that people had seen a flash of gold here, a patch of gold there. The group, young and courageous, decided to go on a journey to see if these rumors were true. This is the tale of their trip, and what they encountered.
All four of the animals were sitting on a boulder, looking off into the pink sky, watching the sun set. Freddy the bear was a great story teller. Bonnie the bunny, and Chica the chicken, loved stories, and kept bugging him to tell them one.
"C'mon, please! Just one story!" Said Bonnie hopping up and down on the rock.
"Yea, please? Just one, that's all!" Said Chica, fluttering her wings.
"Oh, fine. But only one." said Freddy, a smile appearing on his face.
"Yes!" Said Chica and Bonnie simultaneously. They looked at each other and laughed.
"Be quiet," said Foxy the fox, "I too, enjoy a story. Let us hear what old Freddy has to tell this night." He circled once and lay down facing Freddy.
"Okay," said Freddy clearing his throat, "Legend has it, that one day, a golden bear, called Goldsilk, and a golden bunny, called Snareshard, will meet, both having corrupt intentions, they will band together. It also goes on to say that they will kidnap young animals."
"You know," said Foxy, "I have heard talk that some have claimed to have seen a flash of gold, or even seen the bear themselves."
"Ooh!" Shrieked Bonnie, "We should try to find them!"
"Yea! That would be so fun!" Said Chica, a hint of glee on her face.
Foxy, wise for his young age, thought better of this.
"That would not be a wise idea. We do not know how long we will be looking, or if they are even real, as it is just a story. Also, what do you plan to do if we did find them?" Asked Foxy, a look of skepticism crossing his face. But Bonnie and Chica were stubborn and didn't back down.
"We are going, that's that. So what if we don't find them? At least we had a good time being with each other." Said Bonnie.
Freddy knew that when Bonnie made up her mind there was no changing it, but he still asked a question.
"What do you plan we do if we do find them?" Asked Freddy, thinking he had Bonnie beaten.
"Why, we will defeat them of course, and bring back the children to their family, what else?" Said Chica, a sly grin on her face.
"You know the legend states that animals with golden fur have powers beyond comprehension." Said Foxy, his voice dripping with stubbornness.
"He's right," said Freddy, "We have no idea what we are up against."
Chica looked pointedly at Foxy.
"You have golden eyes." Said Chica smirking.
Foxy looked away, grumbling to himself. Bonnie hopped forward.
"And think about the little ones! Someone has to save them! We can be the ones to do that," said Bonnie pleadingly, "Please?!"
"Fine. We leave at dawn. But now we all need to get some rest." Said Freddy.
"Yes! Thank you!" Said Bonnie jumping with joy.
She went over and nuzzled Freddy. He blushed, and was glad it was dark so she couldn't see it.
"Thank you." She whispered, and was soon asleep.
Chica was asleep as well. Foxy went and curled up next to her, hoping she wouldn't notice, and soon fell asleep. However, Freddy stayed awake.
"What are we getting ourselves into?" He thought again and again. He put his head down, and fell into a dreamless sleep.
Freddy woke to Bonnie jumping up and down in front of his face.
"Get up sleepyhead! It's time to start our adventure." Said Bonnie happiness evident in her voice.
Foxy and Chica were awake as well.
"Yea," said Foxy stretching his back, "You said we were going on this trip, you're going to get up with the rest of us."
"Fine," said Freddy, stretching as well, "Where are we heading?"
"Me and Bonnie talked last night, and she said that we should go to Mount Springset." Said Chica, fluttering her wings.
"Hm, Mount Springset. Well, it's the best we have, so, we might as well." Said Freddy thoughtfully. He turned around, he could see the mountain in the distance.
"It's quite a long way." He thought to himself.
"We should go through Oak Wood, I know of a path that can take us straight to the mountain." Said Foxy.
"Good," said Chica, "We should be on our way, as we have a long distance to travel."
And so they set off. They passed many an animal in the grotto, asking them where they were going, but Bonnie always replied, "We are going to look for Goldsilk, and Snareshard." This always got disapproving looks from passerby. They could be heard muttering, "They must be crazy."
"We near the path," said Foxy, "but I must forewarn you, this path leads into a darker part of the forest, we will not see the sunlight until we reach the mountain."
Bonnie looked sullen. "How long will we be in there?"
"It should not take too long, just do not drink the water, and do not stray from the path." Said Foxy, a look of concern on his face.
"Why not?" Said Chica.
"Because," said Foxy, "There are things that might try to eat you. Just be careful."
"Well, let us begin." Said Freddy, slowly starting into the darker part of the woods.
The path was thin, so they had to walk in a line. Freddy in the front, followed by Bonnie and Chica, with Foxy taking the rear. They walked for what must have been hours, the heat starting to get to them, Foxy suggested that they stop, and make camp.
"Even though we are not able to see what time of day it is, we have lost a lot of energy. We should stop here until morning." He said, collapsing to the ground with exhaustion.
"Good idea." Said Freddy laying down.
"You know," started Chica, "we have no food."
They were all quiet. They looked at each other unsure what to do. Foxy sniffed the air.
"There are berries near, I can smell them, but I do not know where they are." Said Foxy, his nose twitching, trying to find them. "Found them!" He cried triumphantly.
"Where are they?" Said Bonnie springing up.
"Up there." Said Foxy, gesturing towards a tree.
They could see a small bush on a branch of the tree. Freddy, being the largest, stood on his hind legs, putting his front paws on the trunk of the tree. Using his nose, he knocked the bush onto the ground.
"Good job Freddy!" Said Bonnie happily.
Freddy blushed. "Thanks." He said.
Even though Freddy and Foxy, were carnivores, they still ate some berries just to stop the pain in their stomachs. They sat eating and talking for a while, but it soon started to get cold. It soon got so cold that they all had to huddle together to conserve body heat.
"We should get sleep. Tomorrow we have a long journey to the mountain." Said Foxy shivering.
"We wake at dawn." Said Bonnie.
Soon they were all asleep, all except Foxy. He was the last to fall asleep. Something was troubling him, but he couldn't pinpoint it. He soon fell asleep.
Foxy got up, hearing something. He noticed he was at the foot of Mount Springset.
"How'd I get here?" He thought to himself. He shook his head, no longer concerned with how he got there."I must be dreaming." He heard two voices. He slinked into a patch of flowers hiding from sight.
"We only need two more to sacrifice." He heard one say.
"We can certainly get them tomorrow." He heard the other say.
Finally they walked into Foxy's view. He saw a golden bear and a golden bunny.
"Goldsilk, Snareshard," he thought to himself, "they are real."
All of the sudden he was back in the forest, Chica telling him it was time to get up. Not wanting to tell the others of his dream, he got up and stretched.
"We are still far from the mountain, we must hurry" said Foxy, already starting to trot forward.
"Wait, Foxy, is everything okay?" asked Chica, "you seem in a hurry."
"Everything is fine, I just have this feeling, I can't explain it. All I know is it's telling me to get to the mountain."
"Might as well," said Freddy, "we can use every second we have."
The path was starting to widen, enough so that two could walk next to each other at a time. Foxy and Chica were in the front, followed by Freddy and Bonnie. They walked in silence for a while before Chica spoke up.
"Foxy, are you sure everything is okay? You seem especially quite today." Said Chica worried.
"Hm? Oh I am fine," said Foxy, "it's just… I had this dream last night, I was at the base of mount Springset, I heard two voices, I snuck into a patch of flowers, not wanting to be seen. When the two speaking finally came into view, I saw a golden bunny and a golden bear."
Chica gasped "Goldsilk and Snareshard!"
"Yes, but what they were saying was of most interest to me. They said that they needed two more to sacrifice," continued Foxy.
"What do you think they meant by that?" Asked Chica.
"I do not know." Said Foxy recalling the story about Goldsilk and Snareshard. "Perhaps they needed to steal two more young animals. But they also said they had to do it by tomorrow, which is today. That is why I am in such a hurry to get to the mountain."
Chica kept walking, pondering what Foxy had said. "How many have they stole already, what do they mean by 'sacrifice'?" Where only some of the questions going through her mind.
Bonnie and Freddy were slightly behind them talking in whispers.
"What's up with Foxy? He seems… Different." Said Bonnie glancing at the fox.
"I have no idea, but don't harp on it. Foxy is… To put it simply, different than most."
"What do you mean?" Asked Bonnie curiously.
Freddy sighed, "Before we met you and Chica, me and Foxy were best of friends, almost like brothers. He had a sister called Mange. She had streaks of gold in her fur, kind of like Foxy's eyes. One night when Foxy was walking alone in the woods, his sister snuck up behind him and pinned him to the ground. What she said was extremely terrifying, as he was quite young. She said 'Foxy you can not escape your destiny. Join the animals of gold. Evil is the path to eternal happiness.' Foxy had said no repeatedly. She got mad and said 'You can not escape, there will be more, and you will join them.' He fought to get her off, but she scratched his chest leaving a big scar. She ran off into the woods, and no one ever saw her again."
Bonnie felt abashed, that she had mocked Foxy's golden eyes. "But why didn't he join them?" She asked.
"That, he has never told anyone. But it is for the best that he didn't," said Freddy, "if you look close enough at his chest, you will notice that a he has a patch of fur longer, than the rest. He has that to hide his scar."
Bonnie watched Foxy in front of her. The way that he walked with a slight limp, the way his tale swing side to side every step he took. She wondered how much she didn't know about the fox.
They walked on in silence for a while longer. Suddenly Foxy and Chica stopped, Bonnie and Freddy, almost walking into them.
"What is it? Is everything okay?" Asked Freddy, concerned.
"Oh, there is nothing wrong, it is just that, we have reached the end of the forest." Said Foxy, moving out of they way. About twenty steps away, they could see the end of the dark and dreary forest, and it to the sunlight.
"Sunlight!" Shrieked Bonnie, happiness and excitement radiating off of her.
She dashed into the field, there were flowers of all kind, pansies, orchids, daffodils, roses, sunflowers and many other kinds, too many to list. Chica rushed to go be with her friend. Foxy and Freddy slowly made their way out of the forest and into the field. They played for a while among the flowers, even Foxy joined in on the fun.
