Swiftcurrent Creek Time will Tell

Fox was long past the point of listening or reason. Ferdie had been far too much trouble, and Jace had already mentioned that he was a risk. The fact that they had nearly killed one another (and failed to finish the job) was enough reason for her to give them the boot. The creek had plenty of able bodies... more now than they ever had, and she was willing to sacrifice these two to allow the new ones to thrive. She would not allow this kind of insubordination and stupidity to play out under her rule.

Of course, she failed to recognize that this would pit others against her. Fox was far too short-sighted for that kind of planning. She only thought of the present, ruling with her frustration and fangs.

She snapped and growled, chasing at their heels until they were far enough away from the creek's territory to not be a "problem." Only when she was satisfied they were not coming back did she halt. The yearling shook her coat, panting and still wound up from what had happened, and then turned back toward the heart of the creek. A meeting was now necessary, and she planned to call one.
