Redhawk Caldera Circle of life

Raven was fascinated with Wildfire's announcement that she'd almost gotten a mouse.  "A mouz?  Wha...whar'da he go?" she asked with wonder on her face, her eyes searching all around for the long-vanished animal.  Of course, she was too young to realize that if he had still been lingering around within sight, they'd all have been chasing him.  

Her interest in the "mouz", however, was broken immediately when the word "race" came out of her mom's mouth.  No self-respecting kid could resist a race, after all.  She pranced in place with excitement and gave her sister a menacing grin full of challenge.  "C'mon, Wifi!  Catch-a me if you caaan!"  She bolted away, running as fast as her clumsy legs could carry her back toward her dad and brother.
