Blackfoot Forest flight of the locust

short post to keep things going but there is no post order after this don't worry! just have your character post once. happy hiding!

She had guided her family to the caves, taking shelter behind mounds of moss covered rocks. This somewhat hid her from the locuts but the occasional bug made it's way into the caves, although there was nothing to eat. She looked at her family, their terrified expressions she could not sooth. They would starve if they could not catch bird, and still, that would not be a lot. Once the swarm became thin, they would need to dig up what remained of their caches. Every last peice counted. But it would not be all for themselves, they worked together. "I will not lie. There will be nothing left of our forest, and food will grow thin. As soon as the locusts pass over, we will round up our caches and ration whatever we have left. After that, we will hunt for what we can find. We do not go alone," She wanted that to be absolutly clear. In desperate times, they needed eachother. Never would she consider the possiblity of cannibalism within her own family. It would not happen on her watch. Nothing bad would happen while she was around, she could fix it.

"Aaron, stay with me," She looked to him, a soft plea for him not to leave her alone. She didn't want anyone to be alone. This was a state of mass shock, but she had to stay alert, strong. If the leader became weak, who did they look to to lead? She could not let them see what she felt inside. Terror. Pure terror of what was to come.
