Tiera pulled up the blanket a bit as she silently stared at the fox, waiting for what he'd do.
"You needn't be afraid. I won't harm you," he said calmly.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
"My name is Seth. I'm under contract to you now, so where you go, I go. It is my duty to protect you in exchange for the gift of life you gave to me. What is your name?"
"...Tiera. Is that what the contract is?"
"With my now-former society, the contract was initiated whenever there was an enemy to the people, or someone needed protection for their life. I would be their guard until the contracted ended, which was when they eventually died from age, then I would go return to sleep until the next contract was initiated."
"But...I don't think I need a guard... Can't you go where you wish?"
"Even if my contractor wishes me to abandon them, I won't...can't. I will stay at your side."
Tiera shifted a bit, her vision blurred slightly. She felt so tired.
"What...what did you do to me? I can barely move."
"I took quite a large amount of blood from you to seal the contract," Seth continued. "You'll be very weak for a day or so, meanwhile it is best if you simply rest," Seth said slowly, reaching a hand to her face, brushing the tips of his fingers across her cheek as she fell asleep again. A smile crossed his face as he watched her.
