Whitebark Stream Open heart

"I'll live." Wildfire nodded, then smiled a little dryly and echoed, "I'll live." She had survived the trauma, then the the aftermath. Things could only go up from here, right? Hopefully the same would go for Saena, though the yearling knew the hardest times were probably still ahead for her half-sister. The small smile faded.

"From him?" she repeated, ears falling back. Did Reek pose a threat to his own children? Would he hurt them to get at Saena? Wildfire's fur bristled at the thought. It occurred to her that the pups in Saena's womb were distantly related to her, by blood even. Her amber eyes narrowed and she swallowed an uncharacteristic growl. "Are all men such... pieces of shit?" she blurted thoughtlessly.

Catching herself, Wildfire pressed her lips together and shook her head as if trying to get rid of that errant thought. "Is there anything I can do? I'm a hunter, I could grab some food if you'd like." And that reminded her: "Hey, did that Tavi deliver my message, maybe two months back?" She had also given Tavi a piece of meat then, though whether or not it had made it to Saena, she wouldn't know, seeing as Wildfire had offered it to the messenger herself first and foremost.
