Arabel picked up the fox cub and turned it over in her hands. At first glance, there was nothing special about it, but she felt that it wasn't just a toy.
"I know it's you, Darkia, so stop pretending," Arabel said, looking into the fox cub's eyes.
Arabel thought, but then a dark gleam flashed in the fox cub's eyes, and a wide smile appeared on her face. She pounced on Arabel, opening her mouth wide with sharp teeth, and tried to bite.
Arabel managed to dodge at the last moment and throw the fox cub away. She fell to the floor, turned around, stood on her small paws and, baring her teeth, growled towards Arabel.
Arabel frowned and braced herself for the fox cub's next attack, but before she could pounce on her, out of the corner of her eye she noticed something silvery running past her.
"Shady, I knew you could move!" Silver exclaimed happily, running up to the fox cub.
