The next morning, The resident woke to find the butchers in Disarray, Chops and steaks strewn all over the floor, Shelves were overturned completely with spilt goods all over the shop and a trail of blood and meat led out the back door into the wilderness of the back streets and beyond. Everyone in the town whispered in hush tones that the creature had struck again.

Miss Evens, One of the local sharp eyed shop assistants. claimed to have spotted a fox sulking near the edge of the local forest late into the dark night. She described the creature as being unusually large, Fiery and feisty and she was quick to shout and hollow it to the neighbours surrounding her.

Suddenly, a rustling in the bushes caught his attention, and he froze in silence, flabbergasted he shined his Torch in the direction of the sound. There, illuminated in the soft glow was a pair of gleaming eyes that seemed to glow from a long distance.

It’s a fox….

For a moment, they locked eyes, an unexpected silence hit Billy. His full body became stiff to the shock of witnessing the shimmering fox standing directly in front of him.

through the silent goastly wood he pursued the mysterious fox into the depths of the forest. Branches swaying rapidly in the gusty winds casting weirdly looking shadows throughout the scarily looking forest as he was guided by the trail left by tiny footprints.

As he drew closer to the heart of the forest, the trees seemed to close in around him, The air grew colder, the shadows deeper, Billy felt a sense of both fear and exhilaration coursing through his veins.

Just when he thought he had lost sight of the fox, a soft rustling ahead caught his attention.

Clutching the branches and starring through the trees, he saw a clear view in the centre of the forest of the mysterious fox.

As the fox locked eyes for the second time in a temptingly short but powerful gaze with Billy, A sign of a great bond appearing. Wow, Stood there shockingly surprised by the foxes reaction as he trotted towards me intrigued by my body language he intrusively took one step at a time focusing on me with every paw print that scattered the floor.
