A Fox with a Look of Stone
But with a Heart of Gold
(Chapter 1: Backstory)
( This is my first Fan fiction, so please, criticize me all the time. I really need to get better at writing stories but, hey it's still fun making them.)
This story began quite awhile ago, and I mean quite awhile ago, in a dimension not know to this world. There once was a Fox, a nice and gentle creature. He was born on a island on the outskirts of the world. But, something was different about him, something that he could never run from, something that people would ridicule him for. So for his sake, one the first day his parents let him out of the house, they made him hide it. But covering up something was not going to help him, just stall it. Also, he was Five years old! Not much of an attention span it would make him slip up. Everyone who saw it would either, gasp at what he had or, giggle in his strangeness. For him being five years old, he made nothing of it but, the parents, they were embarrassed beyond believe, and blamed the boy for it. When he knew what ashamed meant, it was too late. The time to put him in school was nine, and when he first got there, he got uninterested vibes off of it. People (what I mean are 5 year old animals, so for something that they would find strange, that would be quite strange for us.) would either turn their heads to not see him or, would ridicule him.
One had said "eww… what's wrong with him. He's weird."
Or "hahaha! He looks so stupid!"
For him at this age was not good for his confidence, breaking him down little by little. Even the teachers, yes the Teachers would laugh or ignore him, that neither was good. And home was no better, since this is not earth and child abuse was not made a big deal then, his parents still had a grudge against him. Every time he asked for help they would just glare at him with no response. Even sometimes beating him just because of how "ugly" pre-say or, how he would talk. Because of this, at the age 9, he had enough of this, with bullies at school, frequent beatings at home, and everyone make fun of him and no one listening to him, he ran away.
But you would say "How could he? You said he was on an island on the outskirts of the world, how could he get away with parents not finding him and beating him more?"
Well even at nine years old, you would know this. So with the engineering skills of a, dumb beetle, he created a raft. With no time to lose he slipped out of his house unnoticed, or because his parents didn't care, he got to the cove with his raft. With one last look at his home, the young fox set sail for a new land, a better one, with no hurt; he set sail into the ocean. But with every adventure, there has to be something bad a sea. He after about 20 minutes of traveling he was caught by a storm he whisked away in to the raging ocean and rain clouds. He felt himself slipping away as he held on to the mast of the raft. He fell off and into the ocean. But with some stroke of luck the ocean kept him afloat and threw the ocean to another island.
When he woke up he found himself on the shore of another island, with a young girl laying knocked out next to him. With no time to waste he quickly jumped up trying to rouse the laying girl. With no delay the girl woke up to her surprise the boy was nowhere to be found. She shoke her head around to find him, only to find a shaking bush. With a quiet tiptoe she got over there quite quickly but, softly. With her parting the bush, she saw a shaking fox curling up to not be seen but, with his shaking he was easily found.
With the girl trying to stop the shaking of this boy, she said "umm…. Hello there. Are you alright?"
The boy had never heard of a voice that nice, soft, and caring voice in his life saying quickly and quietly but, just enough so that she could hear "….. Yes."
"Well thank God, you're alright. I just saw you lying on the sand, and then a stray rock hit me and I fell down."
He had no input to her injure. She put on a worried face, then an devilish grin "so if you not going to talk then… I guess I'll have to tickle them out of you!" with swift movements she quickly corned the Fox.
With him jumping silently in fear, he close his eyes and tried quickly to escape but, to no avail.
With the girl quickly curling her fingers in tickling position, she pounced on him giving a fury of tickles. And with is the boy went into an extreme laughing fit making him toss and turn, trying to get away. After about a minute of this, she finally let off of him giving him room to breathe. The boy with no sense opened his eyes to show her, accidentally, what he thought of what made him horrifying. She gave him a confused look, allowing him to know she saw his eyes.
"you have some cool eyes." She said to his horror. He quickly shut them to not let her see more, with him covering his eyes. But to his surprise she moved his hands to let him open his eyes.
"Don't cover them! What's wrong?" she said
"I'm sorry," he said "I just…. have gotten made fun of, for them."
"Well I think their pretty cool!"
With that the boy stared into her eyes. She was the only person, he ever met that, didn't make fun of his eyes. So with her getting off of him, he got up, with her walking off and him going after her.
She thought "He seems nice; maybe he could be a friend."
He thought "is she a friend now?"
With, that a good friendship begun.
