to catch a predator

As she dug, Asla listened to her brother talk about what had happened to him and the feelings involved. He wasn't afraid of their father and he wasn't afraid of Resin. That was good that he wasn't afraid. "I just trusted him so much. It hurt when he did that. My heart hurt." Pulling out a particularly large rock, she used her entire body to roll it aside.

Paws continued to work at the damp earth. She would need a bath after this. Not a nice thought, but it would be necessary. Az offered to help make their father afraid and, after mulling it over for a moment, the girl nodded. "Yes. Let's make him afraid." Maybe their father would realize how she felt when he'd scared her.

There was wood in storage? "Maybe we can drag it here together. If you use your teeth and I use my claws, we should be able to drag it out when we're done." The pair continued their work until the hole was deep, but not so deep that they couldn't get out. She let Az lead the way to the piece of wood that would serve as their ladder. It took some time, but they got it back to the hole and instantly dove back into their work.
