Sleepy Fox Hollow we don't know what we're doing, but we're standing proud

For any or all of you! <3

Wylla rose when the sky was just beginning to brighten and fog still hung heavy over the water. She slipped away from her cubs and wandered out into the valley, trusting they would sleep a little while longer before anyone would need to be there to watch them.

It didn’t take long to find some voles, but it did take longer than she liked to catch one. The first one, she accidentally killed, so she swallowed it for a snack; the second she managed to snag alive, and it was this that she carried back to the den with her. @Anselm, @Emmerich and @Isa were old enough now, she thought, to have their first taste of the chase.

When she arrived back at the den, she carefully deposited the panicking vole on the ground and pinned it down with a small paw. It twisted and did its best to dig its teeth into her toes, but Wylla ignored it with little more than a grimace. When she was certain she wouldn’t lose her grip on it, she barked once for her cubs to rise and come see what she had brought for them.
