Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's only Bones and Jinx left? (I was vague about whether Tuwawi followed Njal, though...)
Fox did not look at her—did not look at any of them. Bones plopped to the ground and swiped a paw over her face in an effort to clear the syrupy blood off her face and when she looked up again, the Alpha female was gone. The youngster's bloodstained ears fell backward and she looked uncertainly to her pack mates. Haunter had departed before she'd ever known he was there, yet Bones recognized Tuwawi. She was tending to an unfamiliar male. The half-grown marauder took a tentative step toward them.
Yet the male took off into the forest and, sure that Tuwawi would follow after him, Bones made an about-face and looked at the dead mountain lion. Her pale green eyes then flicked sideways, to fall upon the grisly scene of the battered Jinx (though young Bones didn't know her name) crouched over five small bundles. Bones mistook them for parts of the cat's body, as its bowels and blood were strewn everywhere. But as she took a step closer and saw their exact shapes, dreadful and instinctive knowledge came over her and Bones's lips parted in silent horror.
Her head shook and she looked around but it seemed everyone had left the distressed mother all by herself. Eyes wide, Bones looked at her and asked with uncharacteristic softness, "Can I help?" She was pretty sure she knew the answer to that but Bones didn't know what to say—or do, for that matter. Her legs shook slightly from the exertion of the fight but she remained standing there, peering solemnly at Jinx's spontaneously aborted litter.
