Yay, chapter 2 up! Inthis, again quite short, chapter, Mr. Fox shows his valiant side. Aslan and Tumnus also briefly mentioned - well, Aslan has a brief appearance and the faun is mentioned. Anyway, extracts from the movie in this chapter - and will be in the next chapter as well (which will probably be the last!) Hey, they say '3' is a lucky number!

As Mr. Fox neared the house of the badgers, who he knew would've tried to help Tumnus, the scent of humans got stronger, and then, he heard voices. He could hear a voice say quietly"He was my best mate."

From the other scents he could smell, he guessed the humans were with the beavers, just as Aslan had predicted. He decided to make himself known to the group. He climbed up onto the roof of the house and jumped down, just as one of the children said "What happened here?"

Realising they hadn't yet seen him, he said "This is what becomes of those who cross the Witch."

The children started, but the male beaver wasn't shaken. Mrs. Beaver tried to hold him back, as he marched straight towards the fox, saying "You take one more step, traitor, and I'll chew you to splinters!"

Mr. Fox laughed, and jumped down from his vantage point.

"Relax. I'm one of the good guys."

"Yeah?" Mr. Beaver wasn't impressed. "Well, you look an awful lot like one of the bad ones."

Fox sighed. "An unfortunate family resemblance. But we can argue breeding later. Right now we've got to move."

The boy - he noted, there was only one Son of Adam - turned to him and said "What did you have in mind?"

Mr. Fox grinned, and gestured for them to come closer, to hear his plan.

Mr. Fox was pawing the snow, with both paws, and the children and beavers were hidden safely in a tree, when the wolves broke through the barricade and raced into the clearing. Fox looked up, to see Maugrim and his 'police' circling him.

"Greetings, gents," he said, in his silky voice. "Lost something, have we?"

"Don't patronize me!" Maugrim snarled, "I know where your allegiance lies. We're looking for some humans."

Fox chuckled. "Humans? Here in Narnia? Now that's a valuable bit of information, don't you think?"

Leaping forward, one of the wolves grabbed the fox in its jaws. Mr. Fox winced, and whimpered in pain, but this only made the wolf tighten its grip. Maugrim sneered at him. "Your reward is your life." He scoffed. "It's not much," the fox gave a small whine, "but still. Where are the fugitives?"

The fox drooped, with another quiet whine, and hung silent for a second. Then, he looked up, pointed with his right paw and said, in a defeated tone, "North. They ran north."

Maugrim regarded him for a second, then said "Smell them out."

With a cry of pain, the fox was thrown aside, and the wolves raced away. Fox tried to get up, but the pain, and sudden cold of the snow overtook him, and he collapsed and fainted.

So, how was that? Hope you enjoyed. Please R&R, ch 3 coming soon!
