A Last Attempt

Mrs Parker was at the cafeteria counter, getting some refill for her trip when she received an alert on her phone. It was nothing but a notification of their flight getting delayed by four hours due to bad weather. As she handed her daughter the coffee mug intended for her she wondered, "As much as I understand escorting us away from them, feels like I am betraying the pack. Leaving them at such an important time". Mrs Parker sighed.

"Imagine how I feel." Ariel groaned. "I am at my prime, I have been trained my entire life for something like this and yet I can't do anything else other than running away." Ariel shook her head and looked at the kids sitting a few chairs ahead. "Although I understand the responsibility of keeping them safe. I guess it's important." she sighed.
