It was morning, early morning, only the barest of light peeking over the horizon. Thats when she left the nursery. She had been pushed in with some other expecting and new moms and while she was more than grateful for the help. There was still a longing for the open air. She moved along the edge of camp only stopping to let a little whimper out as a kitten moved and kicked something inside. Trying to be quiet she slipped out of camp. She would be back before the camp truly woke up, afterall the medicine cat was going to come see her. She had been asleep the previous day when Littleflower had come in to do the rounds, and being so exhausted hadnt woken. She didnt want to miss the chance for the medicine cat to have a look, afterall she was terrified something could be wrong. Not that there had been any signs, Just a mothers worry.
Zoey continued until she reached a nice little rock outcrop that she could sit on to watch the sun come up. The wind was gentle and brought the scents of prey to her but she didnt chase them, she didnt have to at the moment, Dawnbreak, another queen, had told her that she didnt need to hunt right now, there would be more than enough time to hunt once the kits were born and healthy.
