Hope it's ok that I PP @Meadow and @Radcliffe a bit.

Pema had been taking a nice rest within the den accompanied by the sweet Meadow laying by her side. Not sleeping but simply resting and enjoying the day. At first, she was simply uncomfortable, unable to pinpoint what it was in her surroundings that was making her feel this way. But then a stinging sensation made it's way to her nostrils which instantly made her heart race as she opened her eyes. She stood up quickly and looked out the entrance of her den. In the distance, she could see something that appeared to be thinly veiled fog making its way closer to the den. Now out in the open, the smell of smoke and fire was clear and she knew her and Meadow need to get out of there and quick.

Rushing back into the den and nudging Meadow repeatedly she stated, "Honey we have to go. Come on, Come on." not going her time to ask why Pema continued to nudge Meadow out of the den and proceeded to encourage her to run with her along with the rest of the pack unknowingly running ahead of them. [Leaving before Shale had time to check the den]

The smoke was beginning to pick up along with the wind. She cried out for her other children.  "Timber... Padma... Radcliffe."  over and over taking occasional moments to cough through the smoke. She hoped that all of them and Shale would be alright, but she couldn't go back now. Not right now with Meadow at her side. She needed to assure her daughters saftey first before going back for the others. She just hoped that they had gotten the chance to get out before her.
