Sahara Square, 10:00PM
Near the sandy beaches of Sahara Square, a lone fox child wandered the streets.
He had red fur on his face and black fur on his muzzle and ears, he wore a blue shirt with yellow shorts.
"That's the last time Mom and Dad do that to me" the fox said to himself as he lifted his shirt to reveal the many bite marks and claw marks on his stomach and chest.
He also slowly removed small pieces of glass wedged in his arms and licked the blood off.
He started to cringe as he felt his father's seed swimming inside him.
His parents got drunk and used their kid as a toy for their amusement, but this kid has had enough.
Not many animals were out so that saves the bother of wandering in an alleyway.
He walked down the Sandy roads along the shoreline, the smell of the ocean was strong and the ocean calmly waved at the fox.
He looked up to the sky, where many stars were twinkling and dancing in the black sky.
A full moon was out, wolves could be heard howling throughout the night.
A shooting star then skims across the sky, a blue stream of light behind it, it was an ice comet.
The fox knew he had to make a wish, he really wanted it to come true.
"I wish I had a dad who was kind to me and play games with me and cuddle me when I'm asleep" the fox said as tears started to develop in his green eyes.
As he walked and walked, he eventually reached the roundabout that separated Sahara Square from Savannah Central.
A tall palm tree was in the middle of a big fountain glowing different colours and the water danced as it was sprayed into the air.
Most of the power was out, so the entire city was dark.
"Good thing I have night vision, here we go, into the long dark" the fox said as he walked into the dark district.
He walked past multiple closed shops, very few were open but the fox had no money, and he didn't want to steal.
His stomach rumbled as he walked past the open shops.
He then realised how thin he was, he was very malnutritioned, his parents barely fed him because they were too busy playing with each other.
But he spots a garbage bin, some of its contents aren't fully consumed and are still fresh.
"It's been so long since I've had one of these" the fox said as he grabbed an open packet of grasshopper munchies.
The sweets were still fresh and sweet, the taste was fantastic and the fox smiled.
But his smile was wiped when he heard something behind him.
"Hey you! Get out of my garbage!" a loud figure shouted.
The fox looked back and saw a ram wearing only a bunch of tattered clothes.
"Sorry! I'll leave now!" the fox said as he ran away as fast as he could.
He kept running and running through the streets, not looking back if that ram was still chasing him.
He eventually comes to a stop at an old road, the road was littered with moss and broken glass.
Being careful of where he placed his feet, the little fox traversed the atrocious road.
He then comes across a small brick bridge that led to an abandoned funny shaped warehouse, it was covered in graffiti and broken panes of glass.
He walks down beside the bridge, a small stream of clean water passed through it.
There was a green sun chair and a pair of sunglasses beside it and some wrappers and cans were underneath the bridge.
"This'll make a good spot to sleep for tonight" the fox thought confidently.
But as he looked under the dark bridge, he spotted a tall figure rising from the ground.
"What are you doing here kid? Shouldn't you be with your parents?" a voice from under the bridge said.
The fox jumped over back in surprise and fell into the small puddle of water.
He saw the figure coming closer and closer until he eventually emerged from the darkness and came into the moonlight.
He was a red fox only wearing a pair of green boxers, he had green eyes, most of his body had red fur but his stomach, neck and chin had cream fur, he didn't look happy to be disturbed.
"Well? Are you going to sit there or what?" the fox said as he approached the little fox.
He was a lot taller up close, the little fox only came as far as his hips.
The little fox crawled out of the water and tried to run away but tripped and sprained his ankle.
He cried out in pain but it got worse as the tall fox started approaching him.
"Stay away from me!" the little fox cried as he held his ankle in his little paws.
The tall fox didn't do as he told and walked up to the little fox until the big clawed feet touched against the tiny feet.
The tall fox grabbed the ankle of the little fox, the little fox curled himself into a ball, afraid that the fox would kill him and eat him.
"Sprained, ouch" the tall fox said as he held the ankle in his paws.
The little fox got loose and kept his distance from the bigger fox.
"Hey, I'm not going to hurt you" the tall fox said as he scooped the little fox into his furry arms.
The tall fox walked back under the bridge and lay down on his side.
The little fox backed up a bit, he was still scared.
"Kid, I'm not going to hurt you" the tall fox said as he grabbed the little fox gently and pressed him against his chest.
The little fox preened against the tall fox's chest, he know knew that this fox was a gentle giant, he was a kind fox.
"I see your getting attached to me, so whats your name?" the fox asked as softly as possible.
"My name is Nathan Foxtrot, what's yours?" Nathan asked.
"Wilde, Nick Wilde, so tell me, what are you doing out here by yourself? What age are you?" Nick asked as he rubbed Nathan's head.
"I'm 6 years old, I was out there alone because, because of my parents" Nathan said as he started to cry.
"What happened?" Nick asked.
"They beat me, and, my father, he raped me!" Nathan said as he started crying into Nick's chest.
Nick now started to feel very sad inside, that a young fox's parents would use him as a toy.
"They done all of that to you? And you never told anyone?" Nick asked as he rubbed behind Nathan's ears.
"I did, but my parents found out, and my dad, he tried to eat me!" Nathan cried.
"He tried to eat you?! Sweet cheese and crackers" Nick said as he wiped away Nathan's tears.
Nathan just preened himself against Nick's chest, his fur was so smooth and soft.
"I had enough of them, so I left, and I'm never going back" Nathan said.
"With parents like that, I would do the same" Nick said.
"But now, I don't know what to do, I'm homeless and now I've nowhere to stay" Nathan said as he started crying.
Nick then got an idea.
"You could stay with me" Nick said as he started nuzzling Nathan's face.
"Really? You'd let me stay with you?" Nathan said as his tail started wagging.
"Sure, I get lonely sometimes and I always wanted someone to stay with me" Nick said as he smiled.
"Sorry I'm asking you this, but can I call you my dad?" Nathan asked.
Nick smiled inside when he was called Dad, even though he was a con artist, deep down he wanted to be a father.
He brought Nathan up to his head and said "You can, and I'm calling you my son" as he kissed Nathan's head.
"Thank you, dad" Nathan said as he fell asleep beside Nick's head.
Nick gently nuzzled his new sons face, he felt so happy, he couldn't describe it.
He held Nathan close with his furry arms and wrapped his long fluffy tail around to cover him and Nathan.
"Goodnight, Nathan" Nick said as he fell asleep, cuddling his son.
Nathan's wish came true, he found a father that was nice to him.
