Whoa, are you Max?

A dog, Max thought, trying her best to shake off the animal clinging to her leg. It was only when she looked at it closely did she realize it wasn't a dog, but some kind of fox. A pure black one. "Oh my god." She whispered, now trying even harder, to the point where the fox was hanging on for dear life. "There's a freaking FOX on my leg!"

The fox whimpered as if agreeing, which made Max freak out even more. She HATED any sort of canine with a burning passion. One was because of the 2% bird instinct she had inherited; she was terrified of any dog thing. But she couldn't let the others know that, especially Iggy. The boy would never let it go. Another was because of a certain incident with the dog Angel owned, making her phobia even worse. In the end, Total had somehow ended up in Dr. M's washer.

Max scooted over to the kitchen as fast as she could with the thing clinging to her leg. She didn't want anyone to wake up. It would be TOTAL embarrassment. The fox whimpered again, but instantly shut up when Max hissed at it. I'll need to see if it's a boy or girl. The thought had just entered her mind, and her face reddened. No! They weren't keeping it. They already had one stupid pet to deal with, and they weren't having another. But if Angel woke up, Max knew she would lose the fight.

She managed to work her way over to the cabinets, where her mom kept the kibble. It was frustrating being short; she had to stretch her arm a million miles up just to open the bag. As she fiddled with the top of the package, trying to get in, she absentmindedly recalled seeing a fox like this before. What is this, Nostalgia Week? It was only until she felt her fingertips touch the food did she remember. "Ah ha!" She snapped her fingers with the other hand that wasn't occupied. She felt the fox scratch her leg, leaving cuts; she must have startled it with her sudden outburst. But she had remembered. It looked exactly like the one on the book she had just bought Angel. Max remembered the title, and glanced down at the creature practically climbing her leg.

"Alegre." The blonde mused, leaning down to pat its head. She didn't know why she was doing it, it just happened. The cute and loving side of her must have kicked in. "That name suits you." She finally managed to get a handful of dog food, and placed it in front of Alegre. It gobbled it up instantly, and looked at her with its light blue eyes, pleading for more. And after a few more handfuls, the cute little creature was full.

It was then Max scooped up Alegre, scanning it up and down. Yep, it was definitely a girl.

But for whatever reason, Max really wasn't surprised.

*A*F*G*

"Alegre?" A blonde head poked its way through the doorway, holding a tray filled with scraps of meat. "You here, girl? I brought dinner."

How Max had kept her secret hidden for a week, she had no idea. The Flock wasn't suspicious or anything! She kept up her short tempered and feisty antics, and they fell for it like a bunch of sitting ducks. But she could tell from those blind eyes that Iggy was onto her. It was only a matter of time.

Max called the fox's name again, only to hear silence. Usually barking would be heard, but she would have to hush her, sometimes lightly hit her on the head before she got her food. The mutant girl refused to admit it, but deep down, she really had a soft spot for the little sucker. And the buzz of silence was killing her; she couldn't take it any longer.

"Alegre!"

She flipped on the switch, and scanned the shed. She was about call her again, but choked on her words.

It was then she saw the blood.

Wow. It's so fun to abuse cliffhangers. I actually might continue this story. I was actually frustrated with school and my mom and thought, "Hey I don't have time for this. I'll put it on HIATUS." But now I'm back. And here to stay I guess.
