On Our Own Dark Wings

Summary:

The owl was calling, an eerie sound, faintly frightening.

Notes:

Work Text:

The owl was calling, an eerie sound, faintly frightening. Harriet had her front paws on the edge of the hole, the tree's bark uncomfortably rough under her paw pads. She was not, quite, sticking her nose out, but the night air touched her whiskers.

Thelma was waiting behind her, letting Harriet decide when, or if, it was safe to fly out.

They were certain it was the same owl that had so badly hurt James. He kept silent under his brother's comfort; Roger washed his ears while James lay still, one of his wings folded tight and the other limp.
