Darkness, silence, fear, hate, all these things were running through the young boys head as he sat in his small chair in his run-down, rickety old room. He was lucky his "brother" had found this place for them, abandoned with no soul in sight. A small one room, back alley cellar with no lights, or even electricity, not even a drop of running water. The boy's "brother" was the one of the only things he loved in this world, he protected him since both his mother and father died leaving the boy at the mercy of the streets at a very young age. Good thing his "brother" shared the same fate, and had shown the child compassion. He took the child in, and swore to not let the horrors of the world get to him. The boy's darkened mind was set at ease when he heard his adoptive brother's voice through the cellar door.
"Hey! Rainbows and sunshine? Where are you bro?" The brother said, sounding excited.
"I'm over here Fawkes." The boy said trying to act happy around his big brother.
Fawkes, Fawkes Tinkers, the boy's big brother. A street rat, or, a street fox would be more correct. The high standing fox donned a tank top and jeans, his normal clothes, as he had no others. The "tattoos" that had been self-painted onto his arms gleamed in the rays of the boy's flashlight.
"Fawkes? What? Are we not friends anymore?" Fawkes said plopping into a nearby chair and holding his arms wide.
"Sorry, Foxy. Where were you at all day?" The boy said, a little curious.
"Aha! I thought you'd ask! Well, at first a stopped because I saw Spring walking around, we drank a few that he had and looked for some jobs, but then, then I saw this." Foxy said, reaching into a paper bag he carried. He pulled out a small necklace with a bronze chain, bearing a bear claw on said chain, which he could just barely see with the dim flashlight.
"Happy fourteenth, I got it fixed." Foxy said softly, as the boy eagerly grabbed the necklace from his extended hand, and put it on, admiring it.
"Aww damn Foxy, you're such a badass!" The boy jumped on Foxy and hugged him very tightly, Foxy returned the gesture.
"I love you foxy."
"I love you too…. Jacks."
