Author Notes so it goes without saying this is my first ever time writing a fanfiction or a story as well so I imagine there will be issues all around so feel free to give me any feedback I want to improve any way I can


Travelling through the woods at this time of night was too easy and the haul made it or the more sweet. A full day of pickpockets and thieving has led to being chased through this dense forest and with the sun set three hours ago the bat was in her element 'this is too easy those dumb guards will get lost long before they find me all I need to do is spend a bit more time in the woods and then I'm home free'
Rouge's thoughts suddenly came to a stop when she heard a strange sound near her it almost sounded like crying. Curiosity took over the urge to keep running so she used her powerful bat ears to listen to the sound, quickly finding the sound was coming from behind a large thick tree deciding to pop her head over she saw something rather strange.

A small fox with bright orange fur bundled up into a ball crying softly in its sleep she gave it a quick look up and down whoever this fox is it was covered in mud, dirt, clumps of grass, bruises and a few cuts. She had to cover her mouth out of shock this poor fox was so small they must be a child definitely younger than her but by how much?

The fox in question seem to have stopped crying but something else caught her attention they were shivering it was freezing in the forest tonight whoever this kid is they can't be sleeping out here, she began pondering what to do 'I can't leave them out here they might freeze but why are they here? why are they covered in dirt and most of all why do they look so beaten up?'

It looked like she was about to get her answer because she watch as the fox's eyes opened.
