Kiara's p.o.v (as a teenager)

I catch Dad pacing outside the cave that he shared with mom. He is very worried about something.

"Your mom has lost the cub" he drops on me before I can ask. Mom's endless loud screams and

cries confirms this news. Tears begin to form in my eyes. I assume she has experienced a

miscarriage. "I am afraid and worried" distraught, I confide in my dad.
