Utu had been eyeing the rabbit closely, however, when she spotted movement close to her, the female had quickly shifted her gaze being the predator and thus always on guard. Her dark eyes widened when she saw a huge tiger approaching and halted on the spot. Utu started to back away fast wanting to desperately gain more distance between the two of them. When that didn't seem to work fast enough, the doe ignored the fact that Thorn had promised to protect her and instead let her instincts take over. She darted from her spot quickly picking up speed and running away from the danger as fast as she could.

Once utu dart away Misha growled like she's calling for her to come back to her like a mother would do to a cub . Thorn tried to go after utu but was stopped by Misha massive body blocking the way . It was clear they were at a disadvantage against this Misha person.

How no one is allowed to move in their spot

Utu stopped when she felt she was safe enough. Glancing back, she saw Thorn trying to come towards her, but the tiger blocked his path. Utu felt her ears pressing against her head as she stared the sight. Why wasn't Thorn allowed to come? It was scary alone, especially when a predator was haunting you. She could hear the tiger's growls and calls, but didn't understand even a single word what she was saying.

Misha eyes begged for utu to come back like a mother would to a cub saying come now . Her final growled was a pleaded for her to come back . Thorn noticed this and knew the situation they now was in she wants utu as a cub but not as a treat ... " Utu she thinks your her cub " thorn words carried of sadness with an certain tone only utu understand.

"C-cub? M-me?" Utu asked her voice shaky as she battled against her fear. Slowly the doe made her way towards the two predators even though she could feel her legs shaking. Her mind and instincts were screaming for her to run away for good, but she tried her best to ignore them. What did it meant that she was seen as a cub? How could she even be a cub? She was fallow deer after all. Once she was close enough, Utu looked at the tiger and Thorn wanting the wolf's protection. She was still terrified, but somehow Thorn's voice had soothed her a little.

Thorn eyes held concern and something else but didn't say anything about the situation. He knew this is the only way they can survive. " Utu be her cub so we can leave " he side not realizing what he truly meant or side for that matter.

Misha body slowly relaxed releasing thorn from her body slowly coming over to utu sniffing her body " my cub ...." She side her words mix with uncertainty and yet held love for the deer truly thinking this is her cub . " My baby survived..." She side before grooming her fur in an attempt to release her own hormones onto the deer not caring for the wolf anymore or the rabbit he hold on to either all she was ants is utu .

Utu shook almost like a leaf when the tiger started to groom her as she instantly tensed. However, it wasn't entirely because of the tiger's affection that had caused her shaking so much. Did he mean... Did he mean that she was once again being used as a ticket to his freedom and now there was the rabbit too? Did it mean that he would continue on with the rabbit to accompany him while she would be left behind to wait until the tiger would wake up from whatever dream she was having and eat her?

"But I...." Utu whispered, but eventually just lowered her head. She didn't like the tiger's grooming or didn't even like her being so close, but Utu didn't know how she could make her voice heard. She felt that Thorn was toying with her and that he would choose to leave and would just leave her behind so he and the rabbit could live peacefully without half of the forest tailing after them.

Misha tongue felt like hundreds needles on utu fur her barb wire of a tongue is hurting utu fur but she didn't quite understand that they are different all she knew for now is to groom the baby. Even she must admit she never thought this can happen to her .

Thorn eyes wanted to question utu ( I saved you multiple times and yet you still doubt me ... I can leave you alone and forget about you but I can't now ") his own thoughts racing into his head before standing up walking towards the two " tiger why is utu your cub...she isn't your cub she is my deer . She is nothing like you " it appears thorn sucked a nerve in Misha hentence her body language becoming tense at.the wolf words " watch your words wolf this is my baby cub she had survived I thought she had died " her claws extended now making themselves clear to both animals

Utu tensed when the tiger's tongue kept hurting her. She pulled her ears back and raised one of her hind legs to kick the air as a sign of her discomfort. She wanted to get away from the tiger, but was scared that her bigger jaws would wrap around her neck should she try that.

"I'm not your cub! I'm Thorn's Utu," the young deer said determinedly. When Misha licked her one more time, Utu yelped as that lick hurt more than the others. She kicked the air again and backed away from her. "You're hurting me..." the young deer said her ears still pressed against her head.

'Do I look like a tiger?' Utu thought to herself as she looked back at Thorn. As far as she knew, not even one bone in her body or tuft of fur reminded of tiger.

"He does take care of me, he allowed me to follow him when my herd didn't want me," Utu said before she turned to look at Thorn again taking a hesitant step towards him. She could feel her heart beating like a drum and her legs still shook with fear. Her hooves touched the ground very softly and she was keeping all her legs very close to herself ready to bolt should anything threaten her.

Thorn smiled slightly at her words " see tiger ...utu understands that I won't leave her or betray her even if she question it sometimes " thorn words meant something for the two even if Misha didn't quite understand it herself but she knew deep down she lost her cub . Thorn paws leaving a print into the ground now craved into the history of them meeting utu half way before smirking slightly at her reaction.

Misha stood utter shocked a cub and a wolf ? " Utu please understand you will always be mine cub but I know deep down your not her...she died during birth being a stillborn " Misha words held out hurt and longer for something or anything to be with her

Utu’s steps got a bit more energetic when she saw that Thorn was coming to meet her the half way. Once she reached him, she nuzzled his head nibbling his ears affectionately. However, once she heard the tiger, she turned to look at her. Her gentle dark eyes showed that she understood the tiger’s pain, but she also felt bad that she couldn’t be the one she wanted her to be. She knew that she couldn’t live with the constant fear of being eaten at any given time. Thorn had a special place in her heart because he had been the first who hadn’t chased her away nor had abandoned her. He had even wanted to find a home where they both could be happy.

“I’m sorry for your loss,” the young doe said softly truly meaning her words.

Thorn looked at the two before realizing this may be the chance to offer her a baby . " Misha we have a rabbit that needs a mother currently so you want to adopt him he is a rough one but has a good heart attack the end " thorns words tend to have the feeling of amirandation for the tiger hoping she is willing to give the rabbit a chance . Even he must admit he will miss the rabbit but utu was there first and will always be there with him.

Misha looked at the rabbit clearly interested in him before asking the two the important questions like how to care and what to feed him and such. At the end both of them became a family " thorn , utu you two are always welcome to my home " Misha side before picking him up showing him around her own den
