Well I still hadn't spoken to anyone, my mum tried to get me to talk to her or my grandma but I just couldn't.

"Ok Nick, since you won't tell me what's wrong I'll have to find out myself. I'm going to the scouts, I know something has happened there. Grandma will look after you ok?"

I remained silent in my mum sighed and left.

[Nick's mum P.O.V]

"Are you sure you don't mind mum?" I ask.

" Oh of course not darling. I know it's hard to see your child like this"

I nod and thank her again and I walk out of the door. I just hope they didn't do anything to bad to him. I mean my Nick, he's such a sweet child.

I arrive at the scout building and go inside.I see 5 children and an adult deer.

"Hello, uh" I look at his name badge "Mr Antler, may I speak with you please"

"Uh of course" he says "What would you like to talk about?" He ask

"Well my son came here earlier for an intitation, but well he came home crying and now he's not speaking at all.I was wondering if anything had happened here?"

I looked at the other children and they all looked away from me with fear in their eyes. I know then they have done something to Nick.

Mr Antler stands up "Well children, what happened?"

All the children remained quiet looking at each other. Mr antler looked like his was getting impatient as was I but I didn't want to cause a scene.

"Zack, come here please" said Mr antler. A zebra came forward trembling a bit. "Now I want you to tell me and Mr's uh?"

"Wilde" I tell him

"Wilde" he continues "what has happened"

Zack gulps and looks toward the others. He then turns back to me "well um you see, uh Ben told us that because, um Nick was a fox, that he may try to hurt us. So we made a plan to stop him hurting us".

"And what was this plan?" Asked Mr Antler

Zack sighed and gulped and he looked at me " Well we uh we"

"Please Zack just tell me. I need to know what happened I won't to angry with you I promise."

"We put a um a muzzle on him"

My reaction was shocked "a muzzle" I whisper in horror

"We're sorry ,Mr's Wilde, but we were all told foxes were bad and would try to hurt us" Zack said

Then a horse stepped up and spoke " But u we really didn't want to hurt him, we just wanted to well you know frighten him a bit"

" Look I promised, I wouldn't hurt you and I won't"" I said "but I want you to know not all foxes are bad, some prey animals are bad too.

They all nod and look at the floor. "We're sorry" they all say

"Well children I am going to phone all your parents up and tell them what you did."

Some of the children begin to cry.

"Thank you Mr Antler" I say "at least now I know why Nick won't talk."

"I'm really sorry, Mr's Wilde, I thought these boys would know better."

I sigh " well I hope they have learnt their lesson."

They all nod but I'm not sure if they really have.

[Nick's P.O.V]

"Nick, do you want anything to eat?" grandma ask.

I don't say anything.

"Nick, please come out of your room" she begs " Nick please, your mum and I, we hate to see you so upset you know that."

I sigh well I guess I can't stay in my room forever but I still wouldn't speak. So I opened my bedroom door and came out. I notice my grandma has tears in her eyes.

"Oh Nick" she hugs me "why won't you talk love?, you always tell me or your mum everything"

I shake my head and look at the floor. Then the door opens and I see my mum come in. I run to her and hug her.

"Oh Nick it's ok now, I spoke to the scouts and got their story I know about the muzzle darling"

I wince at the mention of that horrid thing

"I'll be of" grandma said " see you soon Nick"

I wave goodbye as grandma walks out of the door. I turn to my mum again

"Oh Nick I can't imagine the pain that you felt, when that happened to you.

I sniff and tears come rolling down my eyes.

"It's going to be ok Nick" mum says "I promise, they said sorry for what they did to you."

I looked at mum but were they really sorry? I thought. Maybe they were just saying that to avoid trouble or because they were scared.

I nodded and went upstairs to my room.I dread school tomorrow. The scouts go to my school, I just hope they are really sorry.

So do you think that the scouts are really sorry or are they just pretending? You'll find out next time
