Mouse squealed in surprise. He wriggles under his larger brother's grasp. "Gotta... have... Whisper's... pups... teach me to fight!" he pants while struggling. Mouse stops for a moment and looks his Dad in the eyes. "Fine... a bit crushed." he says, laughing. He tries to turn his head and looks at Sapphire out the corner of his eyes. She was still sleeping. "How can she do that?!" he exclaims.
Aurora takes a deep breath of air. It was freedom. She goes up the rocks to her mossy nest. She settles down there, enjoying the mist soak her fur once more. She closes her eyes and lifts her head. Like old times. But, I love those little furballs anyway.
