Swanmist didn't like this.
She knew she wasn't liking it but she thought it would get better. She thought that more land prey would come or she would get over her fear.
But still... She couldn't bring herself to eat fish.
She didn't want to die. Nobody did. She couldn't leave her kits alone like that. They'd have Snowdash, but Snowdash wouldn't help them more than he has already.
She had been meaning to thank her father, for everything, and that morning, she did.
But she had also mentioned something else.
And that something... Made Snowdash cry. It tore her up inside to see him tear up like that. But he understood. She understood. So why was she so hesitant to tell her own children?
Deep inside, maybe the queen knew why. Maybe she knew why she was so hesitant, so fearful, to do what needed to be done.
So this time, she WILL tell her children.
Dainty paws leading the way to the Apprentice den, she found her three kits. She whispered quietly near them. "I need to speak with you all, please come meet me outside of the den. It's important, it's for everyone's safety." She was going to tell them. She needed to. She can't stay here any longer.
So she moved outside of the den, away from the groups of cats in the camp, and certainly away from the fresh kill pile.
Hopefully they'll understand... Understand that they needed to leave.
