Ravensblood Forest When I was a boy the Dead Sea was only sick.

[size=medium]Julooke's ears perked when she heard a squeal. The pitch was distinctly fox-like, but instead of checking things out, she decided to stay where she was. It didn't sound like it was far, so maybe the creature would come strolling by her. She shifted just slightly to get a little more comfortable, unknowingly giving her position away.

Julooke craned her head to get at an itch on her side. All of a sudden, a voice right in front of her had her head jerking forward. She was right! It was a fox! To be honest, Julooke's experiences with foxes as a pup were very negative (one had tried to eat her!). But these days, she knew she was bigger and they were not longer a threat. She even found out they were quite fun to play with. Julooke chuffed in response, thumping her front legs on the ground, her butt wiggling in the air behind her. It was the universal "I want to play" sign. [/size]
