As the sun rose it glowed into the cave Rave slowly opened her eyes. She felt the cool breathe of her mate on her fur. She looked at Frost, who was sound asleep. She carefully got up from next to him. I'll go hunt. It will give Frost a chance to sleep in. Rave spread her wings and silently glided toward the forest.

Frost had meant to stay awake and watch over his mate, but obviously he had been more tired then he realized because the next thing he knew he was waking up to a cold bed. And he knew that that couldn't be right. His mate was warm like the sun. If she was still lying next to him he would be warmer.
Suddenly afraid, he shot up onto his paws and looked around the cave, "Rave?" His voice was shakier then he intended it to sound.

Rave looked back at her new home in the mountains and smiled. It already felt weird with out Frost near by. She sniffed around and caught the scent of a deer, she followed it to a small clearing speckled with wild flowers and a tree or two. She found the source of the scent. It was a doe and her fawn. A small family. Rave took a pounce position and right when she was about to attack the doe caught sight of Rave and she froze. The doe stepped in front of her fawn, protecting it.
Rave couldn't move. She couldn't take the life of the mother. What the hell is wrong with me! Kill her! You're a predator! A 'Daeva! Frustrated Rave turned around and looked for something else. She knew of a berry patch near by. She much preffered meat but her stomach was uneasy.

"Tech..." Growling softly he walked to the entrance to the cave. Had she left him already. How could he have upset her only have one night. Was it because he fell asleep? Did she resent him for his inability to protect his mate? That must be what this was about. not that he blamed her of course. It was entirely his fault. He had failed his mate by falling asleep. His hunter's instincts were lax if he couldn't go one night without sleep.
"Damn it...." He walked around in circles debating on whether to go after her. What would he say? I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you for one night.

Rave collected what the bushes had to offer and headed back toward the cave, it would be a long walk since she couldn't fly because she was using her wing to carry the berries. She still couldn't think straight. It was just a deer. She had no problem killing does before. Was it the fawn? Rave shook her head. I'm sure it will be a temporary feeling... but what will Frost think? Rave had made it to the base of the mountains, she carefully made her way up, not wanting to trip.

He felt miserable, and she couldn't have even been gone that long. but he felt as if a hole had been punched through his chest. It was difficult to breath. He sank to the ground in front of the den. He didn't care what he looked like, he didn't care that he wasn't acting like a 'Daeva. He had lost the only vixen that had ever meant anything to him.
Frost groaned pitifully. But his head perked up when he caught the scent on the wind. "Rave?" He shot up and ran to the edge and sure enough she was walking up the cliff side. But why was she walking at all. She must be injured! He growled, he'd kill anything that dared touch his mate. Taking to the sky he landed directly in front of her. "Tell me who hurt you and I'll slit their throat." he growled deep in his throat.

Rave looked up at her mate. She shook her head a bit. "Huh? Oh... I'm not hurt. I just went to get something for us to eat." Rave didn't look directly into his eyes. "I hope you don't mind berries. I couldn't find a scent for deer near by." Rave nuzzled his neck and whisper in his ear. "I promise I'm okay."

"Mm....." He nuzzled her back, closing his eyes. He inhaled her scent and a smile crossed his face. "I woke up and you were gone.....I was worried....." He licked her muzzle. "If you want meat I can go hunting for us....I know where the deer live..." He looked down the mountain. Even now he could smell them. Was there something wrong with Rave's nose? He wondered.

"I would never leave you Frost." Rave smiled at him. "How could I?" Rave thought about the deer, they were there and Frost would most likely find them. But what if he killed the ones she saw? "If you want to hunt go ahead. I can wait for you in the cave." She smiled again, but it was more forced.

He looked at her concerned. He hadn't know her long, but he could tell that her smile was forced. "What is it love?" He nuzzled her neck affectionately. "Tell me what's troubling you.....I promised to understand remember.....You could never say anything that would separate us."

Rave lowered her head a bit. "I did see some deer. It was a doe and her fawn." That nasty feeling in her stomach returned and her cheek felt moist. " I couldn't kill them... I-I don't know why either." She got as close as she could to Frost. His coolness relaxed her a bit and his scent made it better.

"And you worried that what....i would be disappointed in you because it was not a daeva like emotion?" He smiled and nuzzled her neck, "Do not fret love....compassion is not an evil trait..." he kissed her softly, "I do not care because you wouldn't murder a mother....I would hope that one day...when we have kits that someone would offer you the same courtesy."

Rave blushed. He actually mentioned kits. Them... Parents. Rave couldn't help but to chuckle. Me? A mother? She looked up at Frost and had her natural smile on. "No one could come near them. Inspecially with a strong, protective Father." Rave kissed her mate. Just thinking about them having kits made that annoying little butterfly return.

"I would never let anyone near them...." He kissed her back affectionately, then nuzzled her neck. "But there is plenty of time for kits later on....right now I would prefer to have my mate to myself for awhile...." He sniffed her wings, "Mmm....I smell berries."

Rave laughed. "Mm.. That does sound good." Rave forgot about the berries she was carrying in her wings. "Oh yes! I found some while I was out." Rave shifted her wings to show Frost what she had brought in. "Shall we go try them?"
