Oh gosh, they hated this! If Master Fortune found out, they'd be back in the academy before you could say failure. Then what would their friends think of them? They dismissively flicked their tail.

"Of- course," I say. I already know that I am not budging from this room, at least, not until I figure something out. "But this time, I need a better place to-" A lout rat-a-tat-tat sounds from the door downstairs. My ears droop lower. I know that sound all to well. "Foxes forbid! He has found me!"


Sir Darkwood stood in front of the door, teeth showing in a wicked smile, bushy red tail swishing with anticipation. He raised his cane to knock on the door again when it wasn't answered immediately. The scent of his pet had been hard to follow, though not impossible for someone like him. It had cut off completely though, not too far away and he was unable to pick it up. Still, he knew that this was the place the creatures would head, or at least one of them. He rapped the door again, harder.
