Episode 11: Tracker's Way or the Hard Way

Meet the Kakapos-

Firefly: the Newest Dominant
Velvet: her troubled sister
Tracker: The Rebel
The Vicious Terrors

Firefly is finding controling her sister Tracker is getting hard. Tracker is now a rebel and she's doing all she can to get leadership, but Firefly is more stable minded and stronger, but can she save Velvet?

The group was settling at their new burrow, they had to move after a jackal attacked the babysitting burrow, it killed Tansy and the teenage babysitter, and now as the group prepared the burrow, tension was rising.

Velvet hadn't recovered from her loss of Miracle and now she was close to having her pups, but a threat was looming over her from her sister Tracker who is pregnant as well.

Tracker was the troubled female and has a low rank, but she's confident that she will get her way, and the first thing was that she was expecting and she had to make sure her pups were safe.

Firefly sighs guiltily, not matter how many times she tries to force her dominance, Tracker is like a iron maiden and the new leader can feel her grip slipping, but she won't give up yet.

With the chores finished, Firefly lead the group out to forage and they were in luck. Velvet barely was eating, but she knew with pups she had to eat alot, but today would be the day.

Soon Velvet slips away, unnoticed by all the group, except...for Tracker.

Velvet returned to the group slimmer and famished, but she had made a tough choice to rejoin the foragers, she only hoped that her sister was watching.

But Tracker did seen and the meerkat waited for midday before she snuck away and headed for the empty burrow. With nobody in her way, she went into the burrow and headed straight for the new pups.

When Tracker came up the meerkat was shocked. Standing before her was the other Kakapos with a very angry Firefly at the head, shoving past her, Firefly followed Velvet below ground.

The worst was confirmed. All of Velvet's pups were dead and it was caused by Tracker, this act seem to finally break the last string. Velvet cuddled her lifeless pups willing them to wake up.

As for Firefly, her anger boiled and with that she turned and shot out of the burrow, pounced on Tracker's back and attacked her sister, Jade and Sunset joined in and a few others. Then they stopped and ignored Tracker.

One by one all of Velvet's pups were brought above ground and taken around the area to be burried, but Firefly was making plans, Tracker's actions should not go unpunished, what she did broke Velvet's heart and now the pregnant meerkat would pay.
