She was still trying to see where the squirrel had gone when she caught the tiniest movement out of the corner of her eye. Just a twitch, at the very edge of the long grass. In amongst the bramble bushes.

They hadn’t looked there. The brambles were lethal, armed with long curved thorns. Lola had scratched her legs badly the first time she’d tried to follow the deer path through them to the fence. Surely they were too prickly and uncomfortable for the fawn to be hidden in there?

But as she watched, the purple-green bramble leaves at the very bottom of the bush fluttered again and a shining eye blinked at her between the thorny stems. In the shadows under the bush, the fawn was almost invisible.

“We walked right past you,” Lola whispered, crouching down to look. “You were there all that time?”

The fawn gazed back at her, and then it wriggled clumsily out from under the brambles and stepped towards her on wobbly legs. Lola stared – she had expected the fawn to stay curled up and hidden, the way it had before, or perhaps even to run away. She’d never thought that it would come closer. It staggered forward and opened its mouth in a tiny cry.
