i'll show thee the way

Mara turned when she heard movement in the cave and saw the little pup drinking from the moss. When she sniffed the rabbit she must have noticed Mara's scent on it because she stiffened a bit before whispering a hello and turning back to prey.

Mara got off her butt and walked down the cave towards the injured pup. The sight of her broken leg made a wave of fresh guilt wash over her again.

"I promise I wont hurt you!" She said as quickly as she could, hoping the pup would listen to her instead of her instincts. Mara laid her ears back and lowered her tail in a way that showed no violence.
