The wind blew through the forest trees, making their shadows dance on the grass specked soil. As the sun slowly set, it stretched it's rays across the land and everything it touched turned into a magnificent shining gold. The scent of lilacs was strong in the area and by one of the bushes a light brown rabbit with slender ears watched over the area. She lifted her head to look around. Her eyes were large and seemed to be searching for something in the distance. Then suddenly she heard a noise behind her but after turning around she found it was just the wind. A sigh a relief escaped her throat and she settled back down onto the soft earth for a rest. She was still waiting though, completely alert...
It seemed like forever till the doe spotted what looked like another rabbit hopping towards her. She stood up on her hind legs to get a good look at it. The rabbit was still a bit away, but from the small slop she had been resting on, she could see him good. He was a thin young buck with sleek chestnut thlay. The doe smiled as he came closer and ran up to him, greeting him with an immense nuzzle. "I told you I would be back, Moonseed," he said to her with loving nuzzles. The doe, Moonseed, pulled her head away from him and with an anxious smile and asked, "Did you find a warren for us to stay at? I want the kits growing up in a warren.." The buck shook his head as a few tears escaped his eyes. "I'm sorry," he replied to her softly. "I found a warren but with the warren as small and overcrowded as it was.. They wouldn't take any more bucks in. They were short on does but I.. couldn't leave you."
Moonseed understood. They would both just have to live away from other rabbits for a while. She was in no shape to do much traveling, especially since it would only be a few days till the kits were born. The kits weren't just going to stay in there till the right time came. Moonseed hopped under a lilac bush, revealing a small run with a burrow that she had made while her mate, Yerba Santa was looking for a warren. They both went down the hole and soon both Moonseed and Yerba Santa were fast asleep..
