(Doesn't she still need her mother if she's a month old? Foxes have pups in spring and they leave at the end of summer: Late August, Early September.) Isolt was crying about Bramble, she had let this happen, she had said they could explore without Scythe or Heather, she had not taken them back to the cave like she should have done, "This is all my fault!" she cried. Then she smelled Frost, without the mingled scents of her parents, Isolt set off. It wasn't a far walk, as she had been close to the cave, and she soon reached Frost's scent. Findjng her in the bush, Isolt pushed her way through the branches and sat down in front of Frost. "I'm sorry, this is all my fault. I should have brought you back to the cave and now your sister's dead because of me." she hung her head and cried a little.
Dart looked back at Isolt and Frost. he turned around. He nuzzled Isolt.
Isolt nuzzled Dart, "This is all my fault." she whispered.
