I shook my head as I arose from my spot on the cold hard winter floor. My reddish fur was now coated in a small layer of frost which when I stood, immediately fell off and landed around my feet.
"Where am I?" My hoarse voice calls, as I have had no water for who knows how long. I don't even remember how I got here or how long I've been here. My head spins as I begin to panic, "Jason? Where are you? Jason!?"
"Jason? Who's Jason?" My body turns rigid and I get on all fours, turning to face the direction of the voice. A turtle raises his hands in defense, "Whoa, didn't mean to scare you."
"Who are you…?" I ask slowly, making sure he wasn't a danger.
"I'm Verne." He says, taking a step closer, "Who're you?"
"Rebekah." I say, standing up on my hind legs now, realising he wasn't a danger to me, "Rebekah Winchester."
"What are you doing all the way out here all by yourself, Rebekah?" Verne asks, "Don't foxes usually travel in packs?"
"You're thinking of wolves." I say with a small smile, "I was taken from my home…" My smile drops, "From Jason…"
"I'm so sorry." Verne says with a frown before smiling at me slightly, "Well…I can't let you stay out here all winter. You're welcome to come and stay with my family for the winter."
"Well that is really kind of you." I smile, "Thanks."
"Come on, it's this way." Vern says, gesturing for me to follow him.
I follow him through the thick brush and soon we arrive in a clearing that a group of animals was busily moving around in. I bend over slightly, making myself look smaller.
"Everyone?" Verne calls, gathering the other's attention for the moment.
"Who's that, Verne?" A male possum asks.
"Yeah, she's weird and stuff." The female possum adds.
"This is Rebekah. I found her in the woods on her own." Verne says, patting me on the back making me stumble forward into the middle of the group of animals. I regained my balance and I look around at them.
"She looks scared, eh?" A male porcupine asks.
"What's wrong with her?" The female porcupine asks. Three triplets stepped out from behind her as they watched me.
"She's pretty, can we keep her?" A squirrel asks, hugging me around my middle.
"The plan was for her to stay with us for the winter." Verne says.
"Will we have enough food?" A skunk asks, stepping out from behind the others.
"We should have enough." Verne says, "We have plenty right now."
"What're we doing, asking all of these questions?" The female porcupine asks, "She doesn't even know our names and we're already having at it."
"Well I'm Lou." The male porcupine says and puts a hand on the female's shoulder, "And this is my wife, Penny."
"Our kids, Spike, Quillo and Bucky." Penny says, touching the triplets' heads.
"I'm Hammy!" The squirrel says as he grins at me.
"Stella." The skunk says.
"I'm Heather and this is my dad, Ozzy." The female possum says, waving at me.
"It's nice to meet you." I smile slightly.
"Well, we better get in the log to get all cozied up for the winter." Verne says and immediately the others head toward a log stalked full of food.
I follow them and we all curl up in a pile of leaves and stay together.
"Night everyone." Verne says and everyone says their goodnight's before they all fall asleep after a while.
I look up at the sky through a crack in the log and then close my eyes, snuggling into the leaves, I miss you, Jason…
