“Wake up honey. Time to go,” Mama said.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL8OU4ak2P
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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlsFp4DJI3
I opened my eyes and blinked a few times.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpVkllVUTk
“Do we hafta move again Mama?” I asked.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHfmVNj37B
“We have to keep moving or the hunters will get us. They almost got us last time,” Mama said.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNMmdgmZ6O
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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg8L8DKWa7
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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRvZnvYFX8
Mama giggled and said, “Oh honey, you’re so cute. When you’re fur is longer you’ll be warmer”.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ2ZOrhsFw
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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdvqHCSxza
“Hey mama, won’t the hunters be able to find us cuz of our pawprints in the snow?” I asked.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMDyjLfM10
“The snowfall will cover them up. They won’t find us,” mama said.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡroHg3MKvGg
After a day of seemingly aimless walking Mama stopped and her ears perked up. That usually wasn't a good sign.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMSU5Vnm0X
“Children, move quickly,” she whispered.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡwymmgTmos3
She started guiding us all toward a small empty den she found.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IR6WYZqtp
“Are the hunters following us?” I asked.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkUcdBfNap
“I don’t know dear, but I heard something and I want to be safe,” she whispered back.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡhojzRd25Yz
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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5Aevx7Il0
“Yes dear?” She asked as she yawned.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡDozMgfeDH3
“Mama, I can't sleep. I'm scared,” I said.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfCOkI1qNf
“Sweetie, don’t be scared. No one’s gonna hurt you. Mama’s here to protect you,” she said.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb56w3V54z
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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡUszz49ghAK
That night I dreamed that Mama and I were walking together in a beautiful forest in the spring.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡue32qAuN3P
“I’ll always be there for you. I’ll protect you forever,” she said as we walked.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnXwVccH9X
The next morning I woke up to Mama nudging me.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr6IuVzZXN
“Rise and shine honeybun,” she said.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQb64xApLJ
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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmBYIRobIv
“Boys, you’re scaring your sister. You know how shy she is. Calm down,” Mama said sternly. copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyQa8f5MmT
“Yes mom,” they all said in unison.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡHesBKgols1
All my brothers were three years older than me, and their games constantly scared me.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaTKkM1XAP
Mama laid down next to me and started grooming my fur.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdl1sy3wYI
“Did you sleep well?” She asked.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkAEm4QRMQ
“I dreamed about you Mama,” I said.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVaRA7emCW
“Oh isn't that sweet,” Mama said.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE8bv8rT1T
She began to hum a short tune.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIizgQDmUD
After breakfast we made our way out of the den. It was snowing harder than the day before. copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOTyuWTvoR
“Come on kids, let's go,” Mama said as she pushed past my brothers.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEPHemYTgF
“TICKLE ATTACK!” they yelled as they jumped on her. copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOowMctCSB
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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3euUIgL3So
“Run,” she whispered; a hint of terror could be heard in her voice.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAvEQCm4zV
We all ran as fast as we could. The sounds slowly became closer and louder.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡfObrPJmY0Y
“Mom, I'm tired. Can we rest?” One of the boys asked.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡulsVXPhZ1o
“Keep running. We’re not safe,” she replied.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI8klVpC9D
“Mama, are the hunters gonna catch us?” I asked.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡKboX0gxrfI
“No honey. We’re going to be just fine,” she said.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTVIyDHz4d
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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2y1dSpqXG
“After them,” I heard a scratchy deep voice say.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0mQkBZULw
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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78doRSQSfc
“Mama what’s happening? I’m scared,” I said.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn70ZLsEt1
“Hush sweetie. Mama’s here for you,” she said.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvWZa2BkHx
I began to cry.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRMMFV9SN7
“Don’t cry honey. I won’t let anyone…” she began to say.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vUYpNnMEA
I waited for her to finish, but she didn’t.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjcivh41Ea
“Mama?” I asked.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfiAsfrgMh
I waited but got no answer.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡatGLkKJCRL
“Mama? Why aren't you answering?” I asked.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZyRfKx9z7
Still no answer.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI2x4P7QtR
“Mama? Mama, answer me!” I wailed.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFTs0Fes8Z

“MAMA!?” I yelled as I began to shake her.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡioUbDQT1Qg
Still nothing.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡikoN0ZKOyR
Off in the distance I heard more bangs and yelps; then silence.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe1RMDZlw2
I curled up next to Mama in the red stained snow; sobbing. I began to sing through my tears.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFGaOjyh41
“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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVbg3rpgdi
I laid my head on her back and cried heavily into her fur; no longer able to hold back any of the tears.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa3Xybex8F
“Mama...I love you,” I cried.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvMnvnwECm
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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsSllm0dvn
“Why…?” I asked to no one.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnjDniNYr4
“Good-bye Mama,” I said as I walked away; my eyes beginning to tear up again.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w9CFNbnKz
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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjDMbQhE9N
I was walking across a flat shallow patch of snow when I heard a sudden popping sound.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡigF6MY4j6c
“What was that?” I said quietly.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡISd0X0qqZ6
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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡsokoMEJltv
“Mama, save me,” I mouthed as I slipped into unconsciousness.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuCqA9GVao

“Being laid off really sucks,” I said as I walked to the famoily room. copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡauPBxA0b1b
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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnnpB9tb45
I sighed and stared at the home screen of my Xbox.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡTztWanJpzs
“I just don’t know what to do with myself,” I said aloud.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Co1bY6zGi
I got up and turned off the Xbox before I walked over to the deck doors and looked out. copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8T5AmZOF0
“Snow,” I said softly as I put my hand on the door handle. copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg558ng2zI
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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c18At4eh8
“Those were better times,” I said to myself.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiLRWWzZ64
"Well, no sense dwelling on the past," I thought as I stood up.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6j6G56BvJ
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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5XTOj4oHL
“It’s been so long since I’ve seen you,” I said softly through the tears. copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKtInjwALY
I stuck the picture in my coat pocket and walked out. I dried the tears and continued on.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡP32HdoFaAH
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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeJBgiJINx
"Oh, hello,” I said to the fox as I patted its head.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyHFB0m0vk
The fox looked up at me revealing small clear blue eyes.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrDKa8bQAZ
“You look like an old friend of mine,” I said.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCS6Q1KFkS

"I wish mom would let me play games for longer," I said as I ran through the woods.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbKnnNwI7i
I wasn't running away, just wanting to be alone. There was a lot of snow. It was up to my knees.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKXmmnRW4o
I ran deep into the woods and when I grew tired of running I slumped to the ground against a tree.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoFUGJVRO1
"I was almost done with that level," I said while punching the snow.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9JYCoheyr
I sat back, and took a couple deep breaths to calm myself.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IVMtrq3sG
"It's just a video game," I told myself, "it isn't that important."copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkLV8dbefs
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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dq9N8F7ok
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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYG8L1sN9V

"Oh!" she said surprised.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqMtYKhATX
My mom ran to the phone and made a call. A few minutes later a vet arrived to examine the fox.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64TuR492hR
The fox finally woke up while the vet was examining it. It growled, but quickly grew too tired.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0xvCGhzBC
"She needs to rest," said the vet.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcGnzJsCUr
"Ok," I said.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVRhQGzDsX
I loosely wrapped her in a blanket and carried her to the fire.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBA6JQaItZ
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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgIxyhdhYz
"Oh, hello Lyra," I saidcopyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGNNtXItmH

"Oh, well, I guess it must be safe to talk to you then," she said.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA47oFSxx8

"Hey," I asked, "do you have a name?"copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyMCfMGS88
"No. My mama was killed by hunters before she named me," she said.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlFmXzB3E3

"Oh I like it," she replied.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJugl42b2V

Diamond asked, "So, where did that dog go?"copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvJO6kHqb9

"Can I see it?" Diamond asked.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnf92CkpQP
"I don't see why not," I said.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh9tq0zqxh

"Why did you bring a fox down here?" he asked.copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNnfTfPOGp
"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 protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45yEkjQ2QD
