Cedar Sweep Skeletons in the closet.

Once reunited, Fennec wasn't about to let Towhee out of.... well, earshot at least.  So when her mom wanted to go for a walk, Fennec tagged along, a tan shadow.

She added her voice to Towhee's, helping to hopefully make it louder.  She heard Rye's return, and was just going to turn to Towhee to say something when the shaking began.

I heard... But then the earth began and she snapped her mouth shut, panic once more siezing her.  Instead of running in panic this time, though, she scooted in close to Towhee and cowered, her heart thrumming with the noise and the terrifying motion.  When was this nightmare going to be done?

She heard the rock slide, but didn't see the result.  Unable to tell in the chaos where the noise was, she buried her head in her paws and waited for the worst to happen.
