flametails ~ part 2

“Guys, you’ll never believe this.” Propping my phone better between my fingers, I looked with concern into the camera. Keeping my voice at a whisper, I continued: “You know Flametails? The book everyone’s reading? Well, this is kinda weird. There’s literally a box of foxes, right here at my library. And I swear I just saw the… in the woods-“”

I cut myself off. The hooded figure had now disappeared. But the foxes were still there.

Trying to lighten the mood, I turned my body and brought the kits into the camera view. “Look! They are kinda cute. It’s probably a full coincidence. I figured I’d vlog it because, you know. So trendy.”

I cringed internally. I should really get a life.

Stopping the video, I slipped my phone into my backpack and knelt down at the box. “Hey guys,” I said sweetly. I wasn’t sure if I should pet them- don’t random wild animals carry rabies sometimes? Which is so weird, and unfair – animals are so cute!

A car passed by on the road just then, startling me a bit. I was definitely on high alert.

I looked at the foxes. One of them was asleep; the other was blinking curiously at me.

I smiled. Wouldn’t it be cool to be part of something legendary?

Footsteps sounded behind me, and I about toppled into the box.

“Hey, what’s up?” A friendly voice greeted me.

I turned around, ready to meet my fate.

ooh wasn’t that so awesome?? i started working on the third part since that cliffhanger was so huge, haha! lmk if you wanna read on 😏
