Anthro- felicity chapter 1: light in the darkness
Swift stopped for a moment to rest up against a nearby tree where it provided a small amount of cover from the rain that had been pouring down since sundown. Swift found himself in the middle of a forest with a dressing gown which was drenched along with his fur because his mate, the one person he loved threw him out with literally nothing. His eyes bloodshot from crying so much, he shivered violently with a whine as he got off the tree and started to walk aimlessly through the bone chilling wind and rain in darkness with only sorrow and loneliness to follow.
He pulled the gown tighter to his body even though both his fur and gown were completely drenched but it still offered a small amount of protection from the wind which hissed through the trees slamming into the drenched husky. For the next hour he spent wandering through the forest in a random direction, to hurt to think about how bad the situation was, the only thing he was thinking of was. Why...what did I do to deserve this? He drew in a cold shaky breath before wiping rain droplets from the end of his muzzle.
After another fifteen minutes the husky started to worry, cold, exhausted and hurt he didn't really care what were to happen to him, he lost whom he loved and was literally tossed from the house, as he dwelled on this, his foot paw caught a root and he tripped falling muzzle first into the mud, completely covering his muzzle and seeping through the gown onto his front. He crawled slowly to a nearby tree as the rain pelted his back, he settled by a tree and curled up into a ball and cried until it seemed darkness seemed to be closing around him seeping energy, sorrow anger was just slipping away "just for a minute..."he said as he closed his eyes
Swift awoke to see a fox staring down at him "are you ok?"Swift tried to sit up but was stopped with a firm paw in the chest from the fox. He looked round to find he was in a cabin but at least it was warm, he laid back down and diverted his gave back to the fox who was slender wearing jeans and shirt as he trailed up the fox he met his eyes and as he did all the questions he had just melted away as he looked into the blue sparkling eyes which looked back "you look like you had a rough night"
"Yes....you could say that"
The fox had a bowl in his lap and was letting the flannel inside it soak up the hot water, and then he lifted it up over the bowl and squeezed it
"May I?"
"Yea, sure," the husky replied as he looked into the foxes eyes. The fox started to gently dab the washcloth on his muzzle, wiping the dirt that had become encrusted on the fur as he continued to clean the husky up. For a few seconds they both just sat there, a little nervous about each other until finally Swift worked up enough nerves to ask a question. "What's your name?"
The fox giggled lightly under his breath before replying, a paw coming up to rest against his lips as he grinned happily back to the other canine. "I was going to ask you the same question Mr." He went back to dabbing the husky's muzzle, one paw holding onto the dog's chin while the other dabbed about to clean off the mud. He dipped the cloth back in the water to soak up more of the warm liquid before continuing to clean the husky he had found the night before. "It's Red," he said slowly.
