The dragon and the fox

By: Mousedream

A dark figure clutching a hand of a little child as they walked thought the dark moonlit forest; they stop suddenly turning about glancing at each direction. The noise was gone and they were about to walk when something suddenly jumped out from the bushes.

It leaped onto the figure shredding him into pieces as the little girl watched helplessly hearing his agonizing screams that echoed throughout the forest. The little child whimpered for her father's deaf catching the tiger's attention, it slowly approached the girl until a golden yellow fox jumped from the tree onto the tiger sinking its teeth into its flesh. The moment the tiger felt its teeth bite into him; its struggle became more violent as it tried to shake the pest.

When the fox drew blood it jumped in front of the little girl, its three tails raised waiting for it to strike. The tiger began to sway as the poison reached throughout its body; the fox stood its guard until the tiger fell with a dull thump. The golden yellow fox after a few minutes hid its two tales and turned to the scared little girl who was slowly backing away.

/Do not be scared little one/

"W-who-o s-said that" the little child stumbled nervously her brown eyes still upon the fox. /It tis I, the fox/
"H-how is this possible" she questioned out loud, her narrow eyes examining the yellow fox. Was this one of the secrets or was it caused by lack of food and sleep she thought, remembering her father's words before they enter the forbidden forest.

*Flashback*
"Be careful princess for the forest holds many secrets" he told the little girl with red hair, as he spoke he spoke without fear. She nodded understanding, she was not scared she knew her father would protect her; she reached her hands and held his. He in return smiled down at her; together they walk into the darkness of the forest where there was little or no sunlight at all.

*End flashback*

The fox's body glowed a golden white color that brighten the dark forest causing the animals to quickly sprint into the bushes as well as scurry into the darker areas of the forest.

The little girl watched rooted as the fox's form grew larger within the golden white light revealing a feminine body of a young girl, when the light disappear it left the forest dark once more.

There in front of her was a beautiful girl with chocolate skin and alluring black eyes dressed in a long floating dress, something that was wore at parties and balls. She watched as the young maiden slowly took a step toward her, she took a step back.
"Do not be afraid, little one I do not mean any harm" the young girl said calmly as if she was the mother trying to calm her daughter. As she soothed the child she took a step toward, the child stood there watching the young maiden's movement until she was in front of her. There was sincerity in her dark eyes that made her trust her. Ok I know it is short but who cares. Read and review
