~Matthew~
He saw the smoke from afar. He wondered what anyone would be burning when the sun was still at its hottest time of the day. But as he walked closer it became apparent that the smoke was in fact coming from his house.
Mom!
Without wasting another thought on the matter he started running. All worries about the gold he had not found and the food they did not have for winter had vanished. Matthew did not even feel the pain that had plagued his body after his encounter with the mage. None of that mattered now. Nothing mattered. His mother had to be safe.
When he arrived, he saw the flames that lingered about what remained of their house. His heart skipped a beat. He ran towards the smoking rubble and stared at it, praying and hoping that she was not part of the flaming bundle that was his home. His mind was racing, questions jumped up and down in an uncontrollable frenzy. He looked at the smoke,hopeless, not knowing what to do nor where to start looking. His voice was too caught up in his thoughts for him to shout out her name. Somehow he knew that that would not help. For a moment the smoke thinned out to reveal a figure on the other side. Another beat skipped.
He wasted no time. He ran around his burning home and turned to face-
It couldn't be. His eyes saw what they saw but his mind refused it. He stood there. Motionless. He felt a void build up inside him, a burning emptiness eating at him. This simply wasn't happening. It could not be happening. When denial seemed futile guilt took over. Why did he have to leave her alone? If he'd been there... The emptiness clouded his mind until he could no longer make sensible thoughts. His knees finally gave in and he fell on all fours. Tears were already trying to wash away the pain but merely rolled down his cheeks forming lonely streams there.

He crawled to his mother, knelt by her side and just stared at her, lying there, with no hint of life in her. The sparkle in her eyes that used to warm him was gone. Leaked right out of her and was now a puddle of blood on the dry ground. He could not get himself to look at her half severed neck. All he could do was gaze into her eyes, hoping that she would smile just one more time and warm his cooling heart.

His Innocent Fox... BoyXBoy
Little snippet of the story below... Hope you enjoy!××Willowed_Wisp××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××My breath hitches in my throat, as deep crimson eyes bore into mine through the inky, yet comforting, darkness, and a hand, pale and large compared to my own tiny little paw, begins to reach out for me. A tiny chirp of fear leaves my lips, as I scoot further back until my back hits the cold wall, and flatten my ears against my head." Come on Angel... We won't hurt you." The man soothes, his already thick voice, due to his sexy British accent, sounding thicker due to his long, ivory fangs that gleam silver in the Moonlight, as he tries to coax me out from under the bed.I shake my head violently, my nose twitching wildly, as my fluffy red tail curls around my dark brown paws, and I lower my head until my chin bangs lightly against the wooden floor. I realize, with a jolt of fear, that the Vampire is gone! Leaving Robyn and myself alone. My glowing amber eyes widen, as his hand suddenly whips out from my left, and closes around the back of my neck.I look to Robyn for help, my claws scraping across the floor, creating scratches in the polished wood, only to see the spot where he once was empty. I give a series of terrified yelps, as the man gently pulls me out by the scruff of the neck, and holds me up in front of him.My tiny, dark brown paws churn wildly in the air, my ears flat, and my tail waving around wildly, as he looks me up and down, and then pulls me into his muscular chest... Wrapping a small blanket around my wriggling body to calm me down.I begin to chirp and yelp softly, calling out to Robyn, as the man throws the corner of the blanket over my face, and everything goes black. One question rings in my head as I am carried from our home...××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××What is going to happen to us?
