Chapter 1: pup
A fox was patrolling the lands, spotting an injured pup in a tree. "What the hell?" said the fox. He rushed over to the tree, climbed it, and with a swift move, he hopped down from the tree. The pup was lying in his jaws. The fox sat him down on the ground and sighed, "Poor buddy, who's done this to you?" He picked up the pup and brought him to camp. He soon made his way to the tribe, sprinting into the healer's den and setting the pup down on a nest. "Runner Crystal, I need you!" barked the fox. Soon a young she-fox came in. "What do you need, Rock Tide?" Runner Crystal asked, concerned. "I found this injured pup in a tree," Rock Tide frantically replied. "Let me see him." Runner Crystal made her way to the pup. "This pup is in bad shape... luckily, you found him in time." She looked him over some more. "Is he going to make it?" Rock Tide replied. "I don't know... but it's hopeful," Runner Crystal said solemnly. Just then, the leader, Fox Heart, came in. "WHAT'S GOING ON IN HERE?" barked the leader. "Well... Rock Tide found a pup." Runner Crystal answered, a bit intimidated. "Well, why is he here?" Fox Heart said coldly. "Well, I brought him here; he was injured," Rock Tide replied, also intimidated. "Does he have a name?" Fox Heart's tone was deep and cold. "W-well, I've been calling him Buddy." Fox Heart walked to the exit and looked at them, "Just keep him out of my way."
