Dovefluff

It all happened so fast. The tired queen, only a day after giving birth with her kits napping beside her and her tail wrapped around her little angels, heard a wail from a nearby kit and jerked to attention, moving to lightly cover her litter with her fur and body, crouching over the napping babies as a meat shield of sorts, half expecting... she didn't even know what. Wolfpaw rushed in and after what seemed like attacking a nest, stood up again with an ugly looking creature- a snake. Fur spiking, she was glad her kittens weren't able to stray very far- or even open their eyes as far as she knew. Her heart ached violently for the tiny cat but she refused to leave her nest, paranoid now, searching the ground beneath her for snakes or dangers, counting each of her kits obsessively and peering around the den for any more dangers, now too terrified for the little one's safety to even consider sleeping.

Two more apprentices and a warrior rushed in and Dovefluff was overwhelmingly grateful for her nest- in a solitary corner and absolutely massive, her heart ached with gratitude for her mate. But there were so many kits without a secure nest away from the chaos to take cover in, and she would quickly offer her own nest as a haven for any nearby children.
