She awoke that morning to the light creeping lazily into the cave her mother and father had more or less claimed as their own little home. It was near by her grandmothers herd but not so near as they felt suffocated by family. It was a happy medium and the place her older siblings had been borne into this world before her. Like them, she and her brother had been brought into the world in this cave with it's ivy hanging like a nature made curtain at the mouth. It filtered the light and kept the snug warm cave dimly lit at best.
Giving a yawn and a stretch, she brought herself to her hooves and looked around. Her mother and father must be outside already catching breakfast while she slept on. With a slight skip to her start, she trotted out her tail flagged up and head held proudly towards the front of the cave. After all it wasn't a Large cave, just big enough for the family unit. Pushing her head out of the ivy curtain, she gave a cautious look around and pondered her next step.
'Strange,' she thought to herself. Her pale and fragile looking mother wasn't anywhere in sight. Stepping out a little more cautiously, she looked around to see if her father was around. As her ears swiveled about on her head listening intently, she couldn't hear him,nor smell him about. Sure the faint scent of him still lingered. However, his presence had gone and thus the scent was fading with it. Was she forgotten and left behind?
Dark set eyes widened with he thought of horror of the possibility. Were such a loving couple capable of something like that? It was hard to believe. They'd been so loving of she and her brother regardless of the differences the star her mother had wished upon had blessed the two foals with. Shaking the thought away with her head, she thought it highly unlikely. Looking around once more she thought that perhaps some one was still here. She must be missing their presence was all.
There it was, the rustle in the bushes. Her attention was drawn to some near buy bushed that rustled and tussled about something fierce. Holding her breath, she thought to duck back into the cave and hide behind the ivy. As she weighed her options, she noticed the rustling growing more frantic withing the bush coupled with a familiar voice. As she listened to the voice, she recognized it soon to belong to Her eldest brother's bunny companion. Apparently it would seem that the boor bunny was grappling with the bush in her attempt to reach the homestead. Stifling a giggle, she soon exited the cave fully to meet the little bunny. "How now Musette?" Of course, If her parents weren't around they must have sent cad to check on her and baby sit as it were.
