This story is about a girl named mavis, Her older brother tod raised her when there mother and father were murdered in a brutal stabbing. Living off the land in a forest with her brother and a fox named tip, after some time and experiences she reali...
Giggles bounce through the air as a little girl runs circles in a field, her hair shines a dark midnight blue in the sun, and her blue eyes sparkle. Her dress is a dark red, she is a beautiful little girl she couldnt be more than 4 years old. She was playing with dandelions.
"Mavis come inside its getting dark" calls a soft loving voice. "I have gift for you sissy" calls a juvinile male voice. "Ya come inside before you catch your death, its only 45 degrees and your in nothing but your birth dress". "Okay da-da-daad" stutters the little girl as she runs up the small hillside that leads up to the front yard. The family lives in a small wooden shack in the woods.
The little girl ran upto to the door, before she could open it the door flung open and the undefined juvinile voice from earlier runs out, he quickly grabs mavis and keeps running. When he picks her up she looks over his shoulder, inside the home is engulfed in flames. The father is in a puddle of his own blood and the mother was toed to a chair while a white haired woman circled behind her a blade behind her back. She pulled the mothers hair back, forcing the mothers chin up, the woman looked up at mavis with a wicked smirk and slid the knife acrossed her mothers throat, blood spilling and staining her mothers white birth dress, as the life drained from her eyes and the blush left her cheeks. The boy ran through the woods farther and farther away from everything they had ever known. And he kept running.
"I think w-wer-re sa-afe now" the boy says while gasping for air, setting mavis down on a tree stump."we will camp here for a while, here take this" he says as he wraps his coat around mavis."I dont need it tod".
Tod goes to gather fire wood leaving mavis sitting on a tree root, she sat there quiet. Eyes wide with shock, tears dwelling in her eyes, her own mother slaughtered before her eyes. Then bushes to the right of mavis shake. And make noise. The young girl jumps up and backs away, she called for tod but no response came. The young girl filled with curiosity ventures towards the bush and moves past some of the branches.
A small metal chain attatched to a wooden peg stuck in the ground held a small fox captive. The fox was dark red, like her birth dress.

"
Ooh. Are you okay??" Questions the little girl. The small fuzzy body unwravles and two big ears unfold out and into the air while a white face surrounded by red fur, with big half blue and half white eyes stare directly into mavis´s soul. The whole incident that mavis just witnessed flashed before her eyes all over again, tears dwelled in the small girls eyes, but she refused to break eye contact with the small body. The fox started to tear up. And tears ran down her fluffy fur and down her face. She bowed her head and mavis did the same. They sat there heads bowed till tod came back with fire wood a few mins later.
"There we go. We can build a strong fire with this wood" tod says after he drops it off a few feet bacl from mavis. He walks over and sees the fox in the chain.
"Hey we could eat this for dinner" he says as he reaches for the small fox. "No!" Screams mavis. "She is my friend...help me get her put of this please?". Tod unlocks the trip pad on the bear trap releasing th fox. "Her foot is. Little chewed up but she will live". The fox now free walks over closer to mavis, and sits down infront of her. She places one paw on mavis's forehead. While the young girl is still on her knees. A warm feeling shocks mavis's head. And her blue eyes turned a deep red. Like her dress.
Mavis's eyes rolled back and she fell backwards onto the ground. A few short moments pass, then she sits up and points at the fox. As soon as she does the fox jumps and a flame spits out of her fingertip at the fox. Searing the ground. Mavis looked at her hand than at the fox.
"Mavis how did you do that?" Shouted tod with excitment. "I-i dont kn-now" stuttered the little girl..seconds later a soft and very gentle voice came from the fox "dont be frightened little one, i will teach you how to use it"
Tod jumps back "what the hell are you" he says scared. Tod goes to grab mavis but the fox steps in the way. She stands between him and mavis, "you wont keep her from me" the fox says her narrowed eyes widen and her pricked ears fall sadly and she peeps out "please, i can explain".
The three sit next to a pile of sticks that tod called a fire, he was rubbing two twigs together smacling stones, everythimg he could to get a spark. They sat silently watching Tod try and fail.
"Do you want some help"? Questions the fox. Tod responds "no im fine,ive got it" snaps tod. The fox smirks and leans in near mavis, she says quietly "watch this". She flicked her tail and a flame shot out into the pile of sticks and they caught fire instantly. Tod jumps back, breathing heavily he looks at the fox and demands "start talking fox".
"My mother was A phantom fox, that means she could control shadows, she could make you hallucinate and think that you were some were you werent, her children, my brothers and sisters. Were not given any powers, but for some reason i was. I was the runt so every night my mom prayed to something called god. And when i matured at 8 weeks old i got my powers. I can do anything that has to do with fire. Now you can too mavis, im getting older now so my powers are fading. But your young, please Dont abuse the power" tod cuts her off and says "why cant i have powers?". The fox walks closer to him and says "oh you do Your immortal. U could be burned and never die. Your body will be burned. Your skin will be scorched but you will live on" tod stood there quietly not sure what to say, was he happy about his power or did the thought of watching all his loved ones die leaving him alone, scare him. "Whats your name again fox?" Questioned tod. The fox spoke calmly and gentle. "My name is tip". "Lets rest" continued tip "we have alot to do tomorrow".
The three made themselves as comfortable as possible on the dirt beneath them, a fire provides the warmth of a blanket.
Mavis sneeks off a few minuetes after tip and tod fell asleep. She climbed up into one of the trees with low windie branches. She climbed high, and settled up on a branch. She flattened her hand and a flame appeared. Mavis stared at thw flame, watching it slowly dance and crackle, also bending in the soft breeze. The flame started to take shape of a familiar person, it was her mom and dad they were making dinner while mavis and tod ran around playing. Everyone was happy. In her mind her mother And fathers laughs echoed.
"Beautiful power, even more beautiful memory" says tip appearing next to mavis in the tree, she sat perched on a seperate nearby branch. Mavis jumped at the startle of her suddem presence. "Yeah" she says playing it off cooly. "Get some sleep young child you need to sleep so you will grow"
