Anxius let out a vicious growl and leapt to his feet as a fox jumped onto the tree out of nowhere. Before he had a chance to react, the fox had already climbed out of his reach. He began pacing around the tree, agitated. The fox was after the cat. Did they know each other? What was the fox going to do?

Relief poured into him as the cat jumped down and landed safely on the ground. Anxius stuck close to her without a word and carefully watched the fox's progress.
