Mothers .POV.

It's been a quite some time since I had my first litter, I'm still very inexperienced in caring for them.

They developed faster than I thought, when they were still very young one started to crawl, I didn't notice at first because I thought they were still to young to start moving, he bought my attention when he stated muling by a puddle in the corner, I picked him up and brought him back to the others.

The was the first step I guess, because many new things started happening after that.

ALL of my kits started crawling, and their eyes started to open.

I was worried at first so I visited the den of an older more experienced female, she calmly explained that this was normal and that my children were simply growing up.

She calmed my nerves for a while until they started weakly walking, I was so worried they would hurt themselves with the way they were stumbling around, I went to see the other females for advice.

Again they told me it was normal and that soon my kits would need to start eating meat and stop suckling very soon.

"Stop worrying"

Stated a female who had already had four litters, and another female who had two litters added

"your kits will learn at their own pace, give them time"

'Maybe they were right'

I started to walk back to my den, on the way back I caught a Kovlon mouse.

I wanted to see if they were ready for solid foods, they were wary at first.

that's understandable, they have never seen anything like this before.

As I slightly expected my oldest and strongest male kit was the first to approach, his siblings always seemed to be two steps behind him as he edged closer to the mouse sniffing at it a few times, he licked the blood dripping from its wounds then started eating.

After his siblings saw him happily eating they soon followed and all six of them were eating like their lives depended on it.

~a few days later~

Today I am going hunting with a few other mothers to get more food for our kits, we wandered around the glowing trees and fluorescent plants.

Every step we took was carefully planed to make no sound.

"Kuurp"

That's it, one of the others has spotted some prey, we all headed over in the direction of the one who spotted them.

One of Kolvon's most common beast, the horned rabbit.

They weren't as weak as moss mice and they fought back if they thought they could win. We slowly positioned our selfs around the small group of rabbits and put our plan into action. Foxes aren't the strongest but we are smart, and we use that to our advantage.

We headed the rabbits away from their burrows and cornered them, killing them before they could fight back. In the end we hunted four rabbits there was five of us, so the three that had kits got a whole rabbit and the other two who didn't have kits shared one.

I brought my kill back to my burrow, my kits who were playing around immediately stopped and turned to me, I placed the rabbit on the ground for them to see.

They were wary as usual, but again my oldest and strongest kit went to smell it, in the end his wariness saved him from a very dangerous situation.

It was still alive, and in its panicked half dead state it started getting closer to my kits, I sank my fangs into its throat and flung it around to make sure it was dead this time.

This whole ordeal had me all shaken-up, but I didn't seem to affect my children much as they went straight up to eat it right after it had almost killed them.

A little while later after I bathed them and they were settling in to sleep, I noticed my oldest didn't want to sleep with the others, but that's not what concerns me.

As he curled up ready to go to sleep I heard him speak

"Kyuun"

(Lets do this)

After hearing my still very young kit speak and knowing that at his age he shouldn't be able to all I could say was

"Kyuunn?"

(Do what?)
