Magical Foxby EquinoxTheFoxChaptersChapter 2: DiscoveredChapter 3: Friends?Chapter 4: Did It Just Talk!?PrologueChapter 1: RunawayChapter 5: A Place To Call HomeChapter 2: DiscoveredI can’t sleep, no matter how hard I try I just can’t. It feels like something is watching me too, it’s weirding me out. Deciding I ought to distract myself with something, anything, I look through the window on the second floor at the stars. The night sky is beyond beautiful this time of year, I would always sneak out at night just to stare up at the sky. I pull my brush out of the bag and start grooming my tail, humming a lullaby to myself hoping I can tire myself out. After I’ve brushed and cleaned my tail to the best of my ability I put my brush back in my bag, not being able to do anything else without using my magic. It’s rare for a fox to be born with magic but I guess I got lucky, I try my best to keep that hidden though. Finally feeling tired I lay back down and doze off to sleep. The Next Morning I awake to something poking me. I hear something ask “Is it dead?” The voice is high pitched and sounds feminine. My body stiffens in shock. Whoever had caught me noticed my movement and addressed it. “Ah don’t think it’s dead Sweetiebelle, ah saw it move.” Responded a feminine voice with a strange accent. I quickly shot up and gathered my things, I then backed into the nearest corner. Three small ponies slowly closed in, looking at me curiously. The one on the left had yellow fur and a rose color mane, the middle one had orange fur and a purple mane, and the one on the right had white fur and a mix of white and pink in her mane. The one in the middle asked something. “What is that thing?” She asked with a slight rasp in her voice. “It looks kinda like a Timberwolf to me.” Responded the one with the accent. “Yeah But Timberwolves are made of wood, this thing isn’t.” The one with the high pitched voice argued. “Why don’t we ask Fluttershy about it? She will know what it is.” Continued the one with the accent. The other two nodded in agreement and they looked back to me, the yellow one approached me slowly and got down low to try and make herself look less intimidating. “Hey there buddy, ah’m Applebloom, could you hop on my back for me?” She kindly asked. I cocked my head in confusion and suspicion and she understood the gesture. “Ah understand that ya don’t know us but trust me when Ah say that we are going to help ya, we’re going to take you to somepony that really likes animals and ah know you’ll like her.” She tried to convince me. I gave her a small nod, I had no other choice and I would take any chance at a home. I hopped on her back making sure my nails didn’t dig into her and we walked outside... Author's Note A few of you are probably wondering why I'm not getting new chapters out well it's because I've been dealing with some personal stuff lately. I'll try and get the next chapter out soon but I don't know yet. Chapter 3: Friends?We walked from the big structure where I slept last night, which I later found out was called a barn, to a small cottage by the forest, it was buzzing with activity from other animals. The animals seemed to know the three fillies that I was walking with, in fact, some birds even greeted them on the way in. Once we got to the door the filly with the white fur knocked, a few seconds afterwards a pony three times my height opened the door and looked down at us. She had yellow fur with a pink mane and seemed a little nervous. "Oh, hello girls." She greeted with a sweet sounding but shy voice. "Hello Fluttershy." All three responded sounding somewhat excited. 'Fluttershy' noticed me and addressed me, "Who is your friend? That is if you don't mind me asking." “Well we don’t know it’s name, we brought it here so you could help us.” Said the little white filly. “We found it in mah sisters barn sleepin’, we didn’t know what else ta do with it.” Added the red haired filly. “Alright, come on in.” Said Fluttershy. We followed her into into the cottage. It was easily justified that she LOVED animals but she didn’t seem to know what I was, I wondered if the ponies even knew that we existed. The Orange filly asked, “So do you know what it is?” Fluttershy answered, ”Well I haven’t seen anything like him, Twilight might know or have a book on him though.” All three asked, “Him?” Fluttershy blushed a small bit, “I’ve been observant of him since he came in, he also seems pretty nervous so be careful with him.” I blushed a bit too noticing just exactly what she saw. Fluttershy spoke up again, “Why don’t you girls go get Twilight and me and him will stay here?” “Ok!” responded the trio and they walked out the door. Author's Note Omg I know it’s been forever but I’ve been dealing with a recent breakup but hey, stuff happens right? Chapter 4: Did It Just Talk!?So there I was in Fluttershy’s cottage surrounded by animals eyeing me up left and right, I quickly tried to make myself as small as possible. All the unwanted attention was making me feel on edge and scared. Fluttershy noticed this and walked up to me and sat beside me, I almost instantly felt all my problems melt away like she chased them off. She smiled down at me and I quickly began to feel comfortable, I sat up next to her but looked away still a bit nervous. The trio of fillies came through the door followed by a purple pony about the same size as Fluttershy. The purple pony, I assumed was Twilight, walked up to me holding a bunch of books in a magic aura seeming to come from her horn. She studied me and then started to flip through the books she had. “Ok so I think I know what it is, it’s a fox. They haven’t been seen in Equestria for a few hundred years after they vanished without a trace.” Told Twilight, who then got way to excited. She started bouncing around saying “Oh my gosh” over and over again. She suddenly stopped and got right up in my face asking me all kinds of questions, I got scared and backed up but she followed. Fluttershy held her hoof out in protest but Twilight ignored it, I was quickly up against the wall. She suddenly stopped talking and picked me up with her magic and start thinking her questions out loud. She messed with my tail and fur. ”Twilight.” She messed with my ears. “Twilight.” She handled me with no care. “TWILIGHT!” Fluttershy shouted. I had enough. “PUT ME DOWN, NOW!” I shouted Both took a step back and I was quickly put down. “I won’t let you treat me like some toy like my relatives did!” I started sobbing. All five ponies in the room were shocked, the first to recover was Fluttershy. She walked up to me, carefully picked me up and gave me a tender hug. Twilight began to put her hoof out in protest but quickly put it back down. The trio of fillies were whispering among themselves, the yellow one walked over to Twilight and whispered something to her. They both then walked out the door. Author's Note Two chapters in one day, let’s go! PrologueI retreat back to my room in the den after getting yelled at for seemingly no reason, I had a feeling it was going to be a long night. Tonight was definitely the night that I’m choosing to run away. I didn’t live with my parents because, well, they passed away a few years ago so now I live with relatives and they are way too mean. All I’m going to say is that they gave me my fair share of bruises and scars and I don’t doubt that they aren’t done either. I walk over to the corner that I always sleep in and lay on my blanket. I think to myself If I’m leaving then it’s pretty much guaranteed that I’m bringing the blanket. I then look to my brush that lay next to me, I found that a few months ago and I’ve been brushing my tail with it ever since. It’s the same deal with the blanket but I found that last year, it’s really been my only source of comfort since I started living here. Time Skip: 3hrs I think to myself Everyone should be asleep now, time to leave. I get up, grab my blanket and brush, shove my brush in a small bag, and sneak out of the den with the bag and blanket in my mouth. After I get a few yards away I break out into a full sprint heading east into the Everfree forest... Author's Note So our story begins, this is just the prologue so it’s obviously going to be a bit short. Give me tips and stuff, good criticism also cause I’m new to this. Chapter 1: RunawayI’m running at full speed through the Everfree forest, dodging and weaving around trees and bushes. It’s about midnight, everyone was asleep when I left just as I planned but I need to get away from there before they realize I’m gone. After about ten minutes of sprinting I burst out of the tree line and into a field covered with rows of apple trees, I slow to a walk now too tired to run anymore. I tiredly stumble over to one of the trees and flop down on my honches to catch my breath, the night breeze cooling me down. I think to myself It’s a nice night, I have to find a place to stay though. I stand up and walk through the rows of trees hoping they lead to shelter, they seemed to be in perfect rows so I assumed that something lived near here. Five minutes pass and I soon can see two structures that resemble homes, one bigger than the other with a warm glow coming from one of the windows of the smaller house. I slowly and quietly sneak up to the larger structure and poke my head in, there’s not much inside besides a few crates of apples and hay bales. I slip in through the door and look around cautiously, not seeing anything that looked alive I walked towards one of the hay bales, climbed on top of it, spread my blanket on it, lied down, and tried to go to sleep. Little did I know a filly was watching from the darkness... Author's Note Yes I know this chapter is short, I will probably extend on it after a few chapters p.s. please be gentle I’m new to writing, use good criticism, you can cuss at me when I get good at this. Chapter 5: A Place To Call HomeA few minutes later the two ponies came back, Twilight holding my belongings. She set them down behind me and backed away, Fluttershy motioned for the brush and Twilight floated it over to her. I openly sobbed into her as she brushed me carefully. Fluttershy then motioned to Twilight, then the fillies, then the door. Twilight picked up the trio with her magic and they all went out the door. The way Fluttershy acted reminded me of my mother, I began to calm down a bit now quietly breathing. She quietly hummed a lullaby and I fell asleep. She carried me and my belongings upstairs to her room, layed my blanket down, put my brush on her nightstand and layed me down on my blanket. POV: Fluttershy. I walked back downstairs. I felt bad for him, he seemed to be just a kid and he had an outburst like that. I headed out the door to find Twilight but she was standing right outside. “Fluttershy, I’d like to apologize to him...” Twilight started. “He’s asleep right now but thank you. Can you come back in a few hours? He should be awake and I’d also like to talk with you about something with me and him.” I interrupted. “Y-Yeah, I’ll come back in four hours. I’ll see you later.” Responded Twilight, she then trotted home. She was clearly surprised at my sudden interruption but I felt like I needed to say something. I hope I wasn't too harsh, maybe I should apologize later? Yeah I'll apologize when she comes back. I trotted back inside to a worried looking Angel, "What?" I asked. He motioned to the stairs and then the door. "I-I don't even know what happened back there, something just kicked in and I just... I don't know." I took a seat on the floor.
