“She’s just been trying too hard. Can you give her a chance?” asked Lisa.

The children nodded.

“We’re really sorry,” said Isla.

“We’ll make it up to her,” Gracie promised.

“Well, we need to find her first,” said Lisa, opening the door of the lodge. “Now, what about the fawn. Did you actually see it?”

“Yes, curled up under a tree in Craggy Woods, but it ran off,” said Gracie.

“And before that, we found more patches of blood,” added Buzz.

Lisa glanced at her watch. “Right, it’s 5 p.m. now, so we need to find Lexi before it gets late. At least it won’t get dark for a while. I’ll check Craggy Woods, and keep my eyes open for the fawn too. Sounds like it’s not too badly injured if it’s up and about,” Lisa reassured them. “I’m sure its mother will be nearby and looking out for it. But if I need to, I can call my friend the vet at the wildlife hospital in Strathdooey. You follow the path the other way, towards the boat sheds, to look for Lexi,” she said, setting off towards Dooey Burn Bridge.

“I hope Lexi’s found her way onto the path,” said Buzz as they walked around the east side of Loch Dooey. “Then at least we’ll meet her as she comes round the loch.”

“I don’t have a good feeling about this,” said Isla. “She was very upset when she left us.”

Dark clouds filled the sky as they walked along, and a few spots of rain quickly turned into a shower. They all pulled up their hoods and trudged on through the gloom.

“Lexi!” yelled Gracie, her eyes wide and anxious. “Where are you? Lexi!”

Her voice echoed around the reserve. They all stopped walking and stood silently, listening. The rain was falling heavily now, pattering on the surface of the loch in a million tiny round ripples. The wind was picking up too. There was no reply, only the distant cry of an oyster catcher.

“Where is she?” said Buzz, sounding panicky. “What are we going to do?”
