Wake up
When you awoke hours later, you were surprised to see you were alone with some of the kits. The sky was once again blue now. The kits were huddled around you, lying on their sides and biting at each other. You struggled to stand, your leg still hurting from the bite. You glance around the area, but see no sign of the other adult fox. Where had they all gone?
One of the pups was looking up at you. You bend your neck down towards him. He yips and the cheeky little bastard bites you right on your nose. You jump back and run at your snout. All of the pups seemed to be snickering at you. Angry, you lunge at the pup who had bitten you. The other cubs parted away from him and watched as he ran away from you.
Satisfied that he won't do it again, you sat back down and watch as the other cubs play with each other. You are startled when the same pup returns and bites at your tail. You act as if you were going to bite him as well to scare him off.
For a while he left you alone and you relaxed under the shade of the trees. Eventually though, he came back and nipped at your heels. When you stood and glared at the pup he just yipped and ran away from you again. This time her looked back at you when you remained where you were. He walked over to you and pawed at you coyly.
