how i became a fox.
CHAPTER 1
It was a fairly normal day, it was warm but breezy. Sara had just found out they were out of milk and sent her husband hunter out to get more. It was a short ride to the store, about five minutes. But it was cold out so he had the heat cranked in his old Chevy. When hunter got out he steped in something, he cursed and continued thru the store.
While hunter was in the store Sara called and said she had to leave to catch her plane. She was going to Arizona because her boss was sick and she had to fill in at the meeting. So hunter hurried back from the store to say good bye.
After he got the milk, went back home, said goodbye and put the milk away. He checked his e-mail and went to bed. He was so tired he went to bed in the clothes he had on. Hunter didn't know it at the time but what he stepped in would change his life, literally. While he was in the store, the thing he steped in covered his foot, he didn't notice because he wears sandals constantly. But he would notice in a day or two, you see what he stepped in turned his foot into a paw. By the time he got home his leg was that of a foxes. Because he wears long black jeans he didn't see his leg was covered in redish orange fur. Thru the night the fur spread up his body, his jeans made a big ripping nose when his tail formed. But hunter was a heavy sleeper so he didn't notice. By the time morning came hunter's body except for his arms were covered in redish orange fur. But his belly fur was white, it would be white up to his muzzle but the muzzle wasn't there yet. When Hunter woke up the only thing he noticed was that he was slightly taller.
CHAPTER 2
Now, he was about to see his big poofy fox tail but the phone rang. It was Sara, she was just checking in to tell him she made it to her hotel room safely. She then went on with her day, because it was a Saturday he did to. There were two things he did, first he went and watched the Saturday morning cartoons. Though he's twenty, he still likes them. Second he went to the computer and turned it on. After about five minutes it came to the computers login screen. Hunter put in his pass then he went to one of his favorite online Game's. Now in that half hour the orange fur spread to his elbow wear it then changed black.
After he got on the game he went to his favorite spot on the game. But as he was looking down to type he saw his wrists were black. This toke his atinchin away from the game, that's when he looked at the rest of his arm.
He saw it was black up to his elbow; the rest of his arm was orange. After seeing that it went under his shirt, he looked at his right arm it was identical
To the left one. Hunter watched his hand and to him it seemed to spread at about an inch per minute. Within twenty minutes both his hands were paws,
Then he started to see something extend from his face. It was orange and from what he could see it was white on the bottom. As soon as that happened he sprung up from his seat to look at himself. The first thing he saw was his tail, it was huge! The most interesting part of it was that it had a black stripe on the underside. Then he literally tore off his shirt, after tearing
His shirt he cursed.
CHAPTER 3
He then ran to his bathroom to use the mirror. When he got there instead of seeing his same old self he saw an anthro fox staring back at him. It had the same brown/green eyes and the same messy brown hair. It was him, at first he was overjoyed it was what he wanted for a while but then, he got worried. What would Sara say? She didn't know what anthros were. What if she got scared and called the cop's before he could tell her and what if she didn't want to see him anymore? Now hunter was scared he had no clue how she would react to his appearance. So he knew even though he didn't want to he ether had to find a way to change back or he had to find out what she would do. The next three days went by smoothly Sara would call and check in. and he would tell her everything was fine, but when he'd hear that phone ring he would first jump because it startled him. Second he would dash to the phone answer, tell her some things and then hang up and calm down. When the third day came they were out of groceries.
Hunter was about to get in the truck when he realised he was wearing shorts and a t-shirt. He then ran back to the house and looked around to see if anyone saw him. He was cretin no one saw. This time when he comes out he's wearing a gray hoodie, crimson t-shirt and black jeans. Hopefully no one will notice him now. He then walks to his truck and tries to get in but, he hits his head on the frame. He swears, then gets in, fires her up and heads off.
CHAPTER4
When he got to the store it went smooth, UN till he bumped into someone they both fell down and his hood came off. As soon as a realised it was down he instantly threw it back on but the other person saw and had a million questions. So he grabbed the guy and took him behind the store to answer them all. The first one was his favorite question; the guy asked where he got the sweet costume. But when he heard that and his ears perked up, then the guy had some new questions. First the guy wanted to know how he did that. Having no answer, hunter stood there in silence until the guy realised that those were his ears.
Then the guy wanted to know how that happened that's when hunter said he didn't know. That shocked the guy; he wanted to know more about hunter. But when he said he worked for the news paper, hunter got more unease and tried to say goodbye. After he pulled up his hoodie, walked back to the store and got the groceries he walked back to the truck. But the guy was waiting there; he told the man he wouldn't answer any more questions. Got in the truck and drove away. But the next day after he got the phone call from Sara the man knocked on hunter's door because his fur makes him hot when he's home he wear's shorts and a t-shirt. He was still dead to the world so he got up from his chair and answered the door. When he saw the man first he jumped two feet of the ground, because he didn't know the man knew where he lived. After he came back down he slammed the door and locked it then he closed all the curtains. But, the man didn't know where he lived he was just knocking on doors; because hunter was still asleep the man knew where he lived.
CHAPTER 5
Hunter was half scared and half exited, he was scared because the guy found him and he was exited for the same reason.
Hunter was the kind of guy who would stand up for his friends and speak his mind. He was head strong but if he had to he would listen. Now he knew that there was a small war coming and he only had one day befor his Sara came back. He would have to let her find out about him to win though, and he hoped she would take it good.
The next day was normal, the guy knocked on the door again. But this time hunter was ready, he parked his truck in back and he left his door locked. When he heard the knock he was up stairs in his bed room, the only reason he heard it was because of his fox ears. First hunter looked out the window, and then he waited. After two minutes the guy knocked again, after another two minutes he got in his car and left. This made hunter sigh in relief, but he knew tomorrow is when Sara came back. How would she react?
He knew he was going to find out whether he wanted to or not. So after that he went back to the computer and played till night. When he woke up this morning first he got dressed in his normal jeans and crimson shirt, then he looked thru the fridge and found out they had just enough food for two days. Then he went back up stairs and went to the computer.
After turning it on and getting on the game he played till he heard a knock on the door so he got up and looked out the window it wasn't the man it was Sara. She was home but he forgot he looked the door, so he put on a hoodie
And sped down the stairs. He almost slammed into the door but his paw pads helped him stop. First he opened the door then he said he missed her, Then she asked why he was wearing the hoodie.
That's when he got quite; he then tried to explain anthros to her. After about five minutes he thought she understood. She interrupted before he could continue; she said she knew he looked at them and that she didn't care. And she asked again whats with the hoodie, and then he told her.
CHAPTER 6
He said that he didn't look like he used to. She said that she didn't care.
When he pulled down the hoodie, she gasped. Then he said if you don't want to see me I will leave. But what surprised him was an unexpected hug, and then he returned it. He was delighted that she still loved him. She was glad he was ok. They were happy until the guy came back. Then hunter lowered his ears, she noticed and asked what was wrong? He then went to a big explanation about the store and the guy and how the man wanted him to be in the paper. Then they heard the knock, but instead of answering it she told him to grab the shotgun. She said they were going to deal with the problem, hunter did what he was asked half because when Sara has an idea its good. Second because his canine side was loyal to her. While hunter got the gun Sara got the door. She invited him and asked if he wanted some Coffey. The guy refused and asked if her husband was here. She said yes follow me, they walked to the living room where she asked him to sit down. He sat down and she left the room, she was gone five minutes and when she came back she was with a six foot tall red fox. But the man didn't see the shotgun behind the foxes back. Hunter's ears were still down, Sara saw this and gently hit him on the back of his head. When he felt that he perked up his ears, and sat down.
The man shook hunter's hand he introduced himself as Norman. Hunter did the same but he slipped the gun behind the chair as he sat down.
CHAPTER 7
Norm: Mr.foxclaw your husband is remarkable. I mean he's an anthropomorphic red fox!
Sara: yes I know that. But what do you want?
Norm: I want to make you rich!
Sara: we don't need money we are getting along just fine.
Norm: yes but with the money you'll make you could buy a huge house with woods for your husband to run around in.
Hunter: but im content right here.
Norm: but don't you want to be rich beyond your wildest dreams?
Hunter: but I don't need to be. Im happy here with my wife
Norm: you could be on TV, movies; they would even make a documentary about you.
Hunter: and I want that why?
Norm: because you would be rich and famous.
Hunter: im rich enough and I don't want to be famous.
Sara: if that is all would you kindly leave?
Norm: please im begging you would keep me from getting fired.
Hunter: sir we don't want to be found out.
Norm: why not?
Hunter: because if the government find out I will probably be sliced and diced.
Norm: Maby they won't find out.
Sara: how do you know?
Norm: im certain you'll be fine
Hunter: im sorry but im not doing it
Norm: come on think about it, you will be the biggest thing around
Hunter: no I won't do it
Norm: I won't take no for an answer.
Hunter: you have too.
CHAPTER 8
Hunter grabbed the shotgun; norm instantly shot up from the chair and said that he'll be leavening now. Hunter told him not to come back. With that norm left the house, hunter put the gun away and hugged Sara. She was just as happy as he was. The next week went smoothly hunter and Sara planed a vacation to Tennessee. They bought the plane tickets and they were to leave in two weeks, in the mean time they searched for a cabin to stay. The one bad part, it had to be pet friendly. Luckily there was a good one, and it wasn't too far from the smokes. Now it was five days till they leave for the vaca, and hunter was stocking up. Doritos, pepsi, and cheeses it's. Were for snacks.
The next day was Sunday so hunter and Sara went on a drive. Hunter was driving his truck with supplies for a picnic in back.
After hunter got to hocking hills he and Sara set up the picnic. It was so nice there it was almost winter but it was still warm hunter was in his black jeans and t-shirt.
Sara had on a pair of blue jeans and purple top.
First they ate while talking about what they're going to do.
But after five minutes hunters ears went down and he threw his hood up.
Sara was shocked at what she just saw, that's when hunter said we have to go. She grabbed the blanket he got the basket, and then they dashed to the truck.
Once hunter and Sara got back to the truck and put away the basket and blanket, they jumped in the truck and hunter sped away. That's when hunter put down his hood, and then Sara asked why he did that.
Hunter told her he heard two men talking about a fox guy and that the one guy said if they get a pic of the fox guy they will get the reword.
CHAPTER 9
The next day was normal, or their version of normal. Hunter sat up stairs and played games while Sara cooked and did various things. Then the neighbors came and knocked on the door. Because they knock a certain way Sara knew who it was and invited them in. then she yelled at hunter and said it's the Jefferson's. When hunter heard that he got on his hoodie and long pants and came down. The Jefferson's are in there 70's so they couldn't tell he was a fox under the hood. He said hello and shook hands they didn't notice the paw pads. And after an hour of talking hunter and Sara said good bye to Mr. and Ms. Jefferson.
The rest of the day was nice, and hunter had the vaca to look forward to. Because in a week they were leaving to go to the smoky mountains'
When he was younger he would go there every year but his family had money trouble and he couldn't go any more. He even chose the last cabin his family stayed at; it had a pool table, hot tub and a huge deck that had a great view. But Sara didn't know this, she thought he just chose a good cabin. The next day they tried the drive again but this time without stopping. First Sara wanted to go to Coshocton to see the apple butter churning. That was their first stop, but because it was so big they decided it would be the only stop.
First hunter saw a wooden sword stand of course he had to get one.
Then Sara saw a painting of a husky in a pool, hunter payed for it happily.
He thought it looked good. Then Sara saw a sign that said about the canal boat ride, hunter agreed that it would be fun. After about an hour of wondering they went back to the truck, hunter followed the signs that lead to the boat. When hunter parked the truck, they saw two horses followed by a very big boat being pulled by the horses. After he got two tickets's and said that his tail was a fancy animatronic tail, he went back out and gave Sara her ticket.
CHAPTER 10
Hunter thought the boat ride was peaceful; the boat director talked almost the whole ride. He was stretched out at the back. And since all eyes were on the director no one commented on him. For once going out in public like this wasn't so bad, but then one of the younger kids walked up and yanked his tail. This did two things, the first was it made hunter yelp. The second was it made all eyes turn on the guy that just yelped.
That's when hunter sat up straight and stared at the rest of the people.
For about two minutes the boat was quite, and then the director started up agin.
Then everything calmed down, but hunter pulled up his tail just in case.
The next day was a movie day; first they watched Oliver&company. Then they got the lion king, and ended with zombie land. After the last movie they went to bed. In the morning hunter and Sara made a plan for what to do, then hunter thought about hiking. Sara said she liked the idea, so they packed up all the supplies and went to their favorite hiking spot. At first it went good thay would walk a little, hunter tried to good down on all fours because he had the digitgrade stance. When he first went down he was slow and uncomfortable, but after about two minutes it started get easier. And in another minute he was trotting along happily. Then he froze and he got back up and told Sara to head back the truck and that he would be there in a minute. Sara got worried but went back, before she went she saw hunter go on all fours and jet away.
When she got back she started the truck and held the passenger door open.
Then she saw a big red fox jet towards the truck. It jumped in, shut the door and said floor it.
