“Wake up honey. Time to go,” Mama said.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PaOMSBbQW
Back then I was just over a year old, and for the third time that winter we had to move to a new den. The hunters were coming after us again.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4gmNla5pO
I opened my eyes and blinked a few times.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW4CaQji4E
“Do we hafta move again Mama?” I asked.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9t4XfWzqM
“We have to keep moving or the hunters will get us. They almost got us last time,” Mama said.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcRMyF7JKw
Mama always made sure we were safe. We had been on the run all winter. The same two hunters were chasing after us. Already my father and two of my brothers had been killed.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFtChDsBVx
I got up and joined the rest of my siblings for a breakfast of field mice. I wished we could have some of those delicious blueberries but unfortunately they don’t grow in the winter. After we were finished we walked out of the den. A cold wind blew through my fur sending chills down my spine; It was snowing. I huddled up against my Mama to stay warm. copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQGJUEZRdq
Mama giggled and said, “Oh honey, you’re so cute. When you’re fur is longer you’ll be warmer”.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJCvvbaDVV
We looked around a bit and then started moving. Keeping an eye out for any mouse or rabbit that might become our dinner. We walked through miles of gray and white colored forest. I looked back at our tracks.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tAC6Rgytc
“Hey mama, won’t the hunters be able to find us cuz of our pawprints in the snow?” I asked.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I2MsXrrOF
“The snowfall will cover them up. They won’t find us,” mama said.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsouXUG7xC
After a day of seemingly aimless walking Mama stopped and her ears perked up. That usually wasn't a good sign.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H5CkcuAKX
“Children, move quickly,” she whispered.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQGPD9M4AA
She started guiding us all toward a small empty den she found.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs28X02E7A
“Are the hunters following us?” I asked.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaimNCyidj
“I don’t know dear, but I heard something and I want to be safe,” she whispered back.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0aWPN5CSG
We all went into the small den. By siblings went to sleep in one corner, and Mama and I in the other. Soon everyone was asleep; except me. All I could think about were the hunters. After maybe half an hour I nudged Mama.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC9fK6gNLo
“Yes dear?” She asked as she yawned.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1yGomjWEw
“Mama, I can't sleep. I'm scared,” I said.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUwqQmeWY6
“Sweetie, don’t be scared. No one’s gonna hurt you. Mama’s here to protect you,” she said.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbJMruTHhE
She patted my head and began to sing a sweet lullaby. Her voice was the most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard. Listening to her singing was like laying on a bed of cotton covered in silk. As she sang I slowly began to drift off to sleep. Mama was the world to me.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GFEm30F0E
That night I dreamed that Mama and I were walking together in a beautiful forest in the spring.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgzIHq5Vm3
“I’ll always be there for you. I’ll protect you forever,” she said as we walked.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZfMLGgEoy
The next morning I woke up to Mama nudging me.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡiueY8B28h3
“Rise and shine honeybun,” she said.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtknc1NhX9
I stood up and gazed at the sunlight streaming into the den, and onto my brothers who were pouncing on each other. I backed up into the far corner to stay out of the way.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡl09AMVh2zF
“Boys, you’re scaring your sister. You know how shy she is. Calm down,” Mama said sternly. copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS9PRiqTrI
“Yes mom,” they all said in unison.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfbgCnipFf
All my brothers were three years older than me, and their games constantly scared me.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0fIB2DS4d
Mama laid down next to me and started grooming my fur.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF6IvX0VRs
“Did you sleep well?” She asked.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNHP4jdmJS
“I dreamed about you Mama,” I said.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiTR1uTFnY
“Oh isn't that sweet,” Mama said.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWEZF9WG5N
She began to hum a short tune.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IBPyF9L2S
After breakfast we made our way out of the den. It was snowing harder than the day before. copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEaxwb1qQp
“Come on kids, let's go,” Mama said as she pushed past my brothers.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJl3I0cFGh
“TICKLE ATTACK!” they yelled as they jumped on her. copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP04EyKNkM
Mama fell over and started laughing as their tiny claws scrubbed across her tummy. I stood where I was; motionless. Suddenly, off in the distance we heard a bang. Mama and the boys froze. The boys jumped off and Mama stood up. Mama perked her ears up and listened. The sound came again.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYrQvX2wnS
“Run,” she whispered; a hint of terror could be heard in her voice.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMCiPki2ZZ
We all ran as fast as we could. The sounds slowly became closer and louder.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsOkxtShhd
“Mom, I'm tired. Can we rest?” One of the boys asked.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WbwNGtPdR
“Keep running. We’re not safe,” she replied.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9EkruEKwE
“Mama, are the hunters gonna catch us?” I asked.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ7zaF23Xj
“No honey. We’re going to be just fine,” she said.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1grx371Sk
Then there was a loud bang and Mama fell. The boys screamed and kept running. I stopped next to Mama, who lay motionless on the ground.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAuyUV3zGz
“After them,” I heard a scratchy deep voice say.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqqlZA11DY
Then two muscular men, each armed with a rifle, ran by; they were chasing after my brothers. I looked at Mama laying in snow that was slowly turning red. I nudged her.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTZBkxEszx
“Mama what’s happening? I’m scared,” I said.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt7h22d5CT
“Hush sweetie. Mama’s here for you,” she said.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQj4ciFdki
I began to cry.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFcbgxJV0i
“Don’t cry honey. I won’t let anyone…” she began to say.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNMB4ODiTf
I waited for her to finish, but she didn’t.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡby6uDiNiw8
“Mama?” I asked.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHNNS4lB0l
I waited but got no answer.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt9H4dvIvp
“Mama? Why aren't you answering?” I asked.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHX5cAnZTT
Still no answer.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uBViu0D61
“Mama? Mama, answer me!” I wailed.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1u8IzmeiS

“MAMA!?” I yelled as I began to shake her.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUyePRIQvP
Still nothing.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuQmDyWZMe
Off in the distance I heard more bangs and yelps; then silence.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpvr0RdbBZ
I curled up next to Mama in the red stained snow; sobbing. I began to sing through my tears.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfTPuJGdzb
“Oh sweet foxy cary me so. Hold me close and never let go. I'll be here for you if you'll be there for me. I'll be here forever, with you. Oh sweet mother, care for me so. Stay in my heart and never ever go. I’ll wait here for you if you’ll wait here for me. I'll be here forever, with you,” I sang.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rGSNjqJjd
I laid my head on her back and cried heavily into her fur; no longer able to hold back any of the tears.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbCuDDmRPX
“Mama...I love you,” I cried.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5dKVHuBU4
I lay there sobbing for a long time. It must have been a few hours before I finally stood up. The red stains were beginning to fade. I looked at mama laying in the snow.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWvuPjOf37
“Why…?” I asked to no one.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2j5wXJSOy
“Good-bye Mama,” I said as I walked away; my eyes beginning to tear up again.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFE3qzKVbF
I was all that was left of my family. I did not know where to go or what to do with myself so I just walked. The wind began to blow again, and the snowfall became harder. As I walked the sun began to lower in the sky.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZCvtrPiGS
I was walking across a flat shallow patch of snow when I heard a sudden popping sound.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9UJfrGZjv
“What was that?” I said quietly.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9bccBMXwY
I looked around looking for another animal that may have been the cause but I didn’t see anything. Then I heard a low creaking sound and a shattering sound. Next thing I knew, I was in frigid water. I swam back to the surface and started trying to pull myself out of the water but my paws kept slipping on the ice. I started yelping and barking as loud as I could hoping that maybe someone would hear me and come to help. My movements began to slow as my body slowly froze in the water. As my strength finally ran out I slid beneath the surface of the water. copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwXe1rGQJn
“Mama, save me,” I mouthed as I slipped into unconsciousness.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9wETM5ALo

Today is Saturday. The mail has come, and it's more bills I can’t pay. copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡH83fpz1iRJ
“Being laid off really sucks,” I said as I walked to the famoily room. copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡH85DnGA3Xp
I spent most of the morning lounging around the house playing on my Xbox. Ever since I was laid off my life has been in a downward spiral. I can’t even muster the cash to pay a plumber to fix the leaking pipes in the basement. copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBX2MawKtz
I sighed and stared at the home screen of my Xbox.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaIwq85rqX
“I just don’t know what to do with myself,” I said aloud.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡb76hLtXmwV
I got up and turned off the Xbox before I walked over to the deck doors and looked out. copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZwJ2jUy3n
“Snow,” I said softly as I put my hand on the door handle. copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xyQ3YZ9pp
I realized before I slid open the heavy old door that I was not properly dressed to go out in the cold. I put on my coat, hat, snow pants, and gloves and then I pulled open the door and stepped out. The snow was deep; almost up to my knees. I made my way down the steps to the backyard and looked out at the trees remembering adventures from the past. I got to the edge of the hill at the end of the backyard when I stumbled on something buried beneath the snow and rolled down the hill. I looked up at the trees. All bare except for a few pines. The trees reminded me of the event that changed my life those 30 years ago. I thought for a moment and sighed.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AxdRiGPEc
“Those were better times,” I said to myself.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqchaeA4NE
"Well, no sense dwelling on the past," I thought as I stood up.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWb0MfYMoo
I continued further in and stopped in front of a small snow covered hut. I dug out the small door and walked in. Lining the walls were framed pictures of Lyra my dog, Diamond my fox, and me. I felt a sudden sadness come over me looking at those pictures. I picked up a picture of the three of us together and started crying. copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvZIJQ1pGF
“It’s been so long since I’ve seen you,” I said softly through the tears. copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr6OIg3jlR
I stuck the picture in my coat pocket and walked out. I dried the tears and continued on.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNN9OAoNmM
I walked through the isolated woods for a few more minutes until I reached a river; the place that it all began. I sat down as all the memories came flooding back. My eyes began to water again. As I sat in the snow thinking, a small fox walked up to me and sat down laying its head on my lap. I’ve always had a special way of communicating with animals.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxiag21hrH
"Oh, hello,” I said to the fox as I patted its head.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡX394SRlWaG
The fox looked up at me revealing small clear blue eyes.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8uBhicF5y
“You look like an old friend of mine,” I said.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh6LrnNtFe

"I wish mom would let me play games for longer," I said as I ran through the woods.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSARhgd4K3
I wasn't running away, just wanting to be alone. There was a lot of snow. It was up to my knees.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt4CvqpIYf
I ran deep into the woods and when I grew tired of running I slumped to the ground against a tree.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TOmjCcwWM
"I was almost done with that level," I said while punching the snow.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUEMLW3Z1O
I sat back, and took a couple deep breaths to calm myself.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yh7aNyzvw
"It's just a video game," I told myself, "it isn't that important."copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAqDWJg9fd
As I sat in the snow I heard a faint yelping. It sounded like it was coming from the small river near by. I listened closer. It sounded like it was in a lot of pain, and scared. I knew that whatever it was needed help.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr7zeTwhTx
I got up and started running toward the river. I was 40 feet away when I hit a patch of snow that went all the way up to my stomach. I pushed on knowing whatever was yelping, needed help. I was near the edge of the river when I saw a small yellow fox trying to pull itself out of a hole in the ice. I threw myself forward toward the shore, but tripped on a stump. I landed with my entire upper body on the ice. I could feel it cracking beneath my weight. I reached up and grabbed an overhanging branch to try to lift myself off the ice so it wouldn't break. Using the branch I shimmied out to where the fox was. I looked into the water and saw that the fox had slipped beneath the surface. I reached in and grabbed onto the fox. At that moment the ice beneath me broke. The water was frigid. I could feel my joints freezing up as I moved to the shore of the river. Luckily the river wasn't very deep so I could walk across the bottom. When I got to shore I took my jacket and wrapped the fox in it. I was cold and wet too, but the fox was in a worse condition than I. I ran home and burst through the door.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W5n4faCPG

Then she noticed the bundle I was holding and the little fox that was wrapped in it.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCC10Ghbj6
"Oh!" she said surprised.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtL823mlCJ
My mom ran to the phone and made a call. A few minutes later a vet arrived to examine the fox.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn1VgT93hG
The fox finally woke up while the vet was examining it. It growled, but quickly grew too tired.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdilei1vtl
"She needs to rest," said the vet.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡClOnuQrRc3
"Ok," I said.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7rD2IwbLO
I loosely wrapped her in a blanket and carried her to the fire.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu1aQgsRLW
The vet left and my mom went up stairs. I was left alone by the fire place with the fox until a hatch opened in the wall, and a small golden retriever walked out.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoh0LMRdD4
"Oh, hello Lyra," I saidcopyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡgebHRdpopb
"What's that little bundle next to you?" Lyra asked.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡchFerwuUnf

“I can,” I said.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJyZAvYQnq
“Where did that dog go?” she asked.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMpxY8VOOl
"A dog agency. I'll let Lyra explain how I found out that she is an agent. She loves story telling," I said.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQWMvpmfgS
"Oh, well, I guess it must be safe to talk to you then," she said.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTBwTc1R3p

"Oh I like it," she replied.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAfV9HX6we
"Good," I said.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡldutwgu24n

Diamond asked, "So, where did that dog go?"copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAc5wlMtsj

"Can I see it?" Diamond asked.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GRICyagPl
"I don't see why not," I said.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFW5LtrxXU
I went over to where the hatch was and put my hand on the wall. There was a quiet buzzing sound and the hatch opened. I stepped in carrying Diamond. The hatch closed and the lift descended. When the doors opened at the facility Diamond's jaw dropped.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFInTZrnLw

"Well, I saved this fox from the river, and I wanted Lyra to explain why I know you all can talk so I decided to visit her in her office," I said.copyright protection126ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9v1Dnrxi1
