|| Red Forest || ~Chapter 13~ "O-Our souls?" Blue repeated. The five foxes nodded in unison. "Well, you can't have them!" He snarled, suddenly feeling angry. Blue took another step forward, growling. "You seem very upset." One of the foxes remarked, Crow remarked, "But I would not worry. We will not take your souls, we are just here to take you." "Where?!" Blue demanded. "Back to your true home of course." Crow answered cooly. Then Blue noticed something the other foxes did not, Fisher had crept out of the den and left Blue to fend for himself. Blue took a step back. Suddenly, he ran forward and tried to leap over the foxes. Crow jumped up and raked Blue on the stomach. Blue fell with a whine. Crow turned his attention back to the den, "Seems your friend has abandoned you. No worries, we'll find him soon enough. In fact, we might as well take the whole skulk!" There was a sudden stomping. Then a yell, "GET AWAY FROM BLUE!!!!!!!!!!" Suddenly, Raven sprung forward and attacked Nettle, snapping her neck with one bite. She fell to the ground motionless, so she was in fact dead now, but before, she had been alive. Raven took no notice of this, as he spun around and lashed out at Crow and Smoke. Pine, Fang, and Maple followed him and leaped into the fray. Blue tried to slink away, but he had loss too much blood. He felt his eyes starting to close when he saw Fisher come out of nowhere and start to drag him away. "Blue, you okay buddy?" He said worriedly through a mouthful of fur. Blue groaned for an answer. He watched as the rest of the skulk's defenders came to help Raven, including Thistle, Oak, Stone, Cricket, and the deputy, Swift. Fisher continued, "I know I left you back there alone, and I'm so sorry. I-I just went to get help. This is all my fault." By this time, Fisher had managed to get Blue into the medicine den, where Fern and Echo checked him over, putting cobwebs on his wound and letting him rest. When Blue felt halfway recovered, he tried to go see what was going on outside. Yet Fisher caught him and told him he needed to rest. Echo gave Blue some poppy seeds and as Blue fell asleep, he heard a great yowl split the air, and he wondered, had a fox had died?
