Redhawk Caldera Ashes, ashes, we all fall down

Ferret had always been, for lack of a better phrase, a piece of shit. Fox hadn't known it right from the start, but slowly he had shown that he was more and more rotten. Part of Fox had never wanted to believe that any of her children could be like he was. Maybe it was just a phase, she'd thought on more than one occasion, but considering he had attacked his brothers on more than one occasion, she was beginning to suspect it was more than that.

She didn't wake up until a grasshopper landed on her ear, causing her to groan something about something. When Peregrine was not by her side, she glanced around to see if he was anywhere in the vicinity. She caught only a glimpse of him before he crumpled to the ground, and her head tilted to one side. Was he playing some kind of game? Curious, she picked herself up onto all four feet and trotted somewhat-nervously toward him. The smell of blood quickened her pace (and her heartbeat), and she rushed to him as quickly as possible.

"Holy fuck," was all she could manage to squeak out. Panic washed over her, and she searched frantically for anybody who might be nearby. When she saw nobody, she called out for those she trusted the most: @Finley, @Elwood, @Eljay, @Shrike, and @Sassafras.
