The fox asked now infront of the four older looking Males. The Snake looked relieved to see him. "Where is Meadow is she ok?" Winston asked worried for his cub. "She is fine sleeping in a cave near by. " Arrow said only to realize his mistake. Hightailing it back the others following. But when they got back all they found were dead cubs and a note.

Winston roared in anger "you left her alone you stupid boy. We have been tailing you all for months. You never left her alone. What happened today?" He said pinning Arrow by the neck. "We sensed you all and didn't recognize you. I'm sorry we will get her back." Arrow chokes ouy gasping for air. "Winston let him go killing him won't get her back." He looked to see his aunt Iris in a black skin dress holding a spear. Winston threw him to the ground. "Arrow listen to me you are doing a fantastic job protecting her. We need to get her back. She is important more than I can say now. Parker probably has her. If we hurry we can get her back." She said helping him to his feet. "You are littered with marks." He said before it clicked. All the males they sense, are all mates of his mother and aunt.
