Finally they were ready to leave.

That morning , a message had arrived from their friend to say  that the Grey Wolves were minutes away from Rockcruble Caves. The caves were very old and would  not protect them . Its walls were so unstable and wouldn’t survive an attack from the Grey Wolves. 

So the three foxes Tim , Tam and baby Timmy left home and set off. Their journey would at least take two weeks but first they would have to pass Dead skull Mountain, Wib Wob Bridge and Dark fade forest until  they have reached the village of sip sak. The village  was made long ago by big foxes that had passed into stories that only elders knew once the foxes reached their destination , they would be safe. Other foxes had chosen to travel elsewhere  but they found a map that showed all the shortcuts that were hidden from prying eyes.

Clutching the ancient map, the little brave band of foxes set off. Worried,

they went towards the wib wob bridge that was over  sog mud river. They will arrive at shocking speed because of the shortcuts they took. The mountains had snow falling off every second. Bravely , Tim took the lead,

Messing around with his hair . The winter winds swept snow off the mountains across the landscape wherever he looked he imagined the blood red eyes of a Grey Wolf.

Trailing behind Tim , Tam held onto baby Timmy’s pawb. Weirdly, they tried to follow in their brother’s footsteps one by one. Tam made a game for Timmy but soon , his paw  was frozen and she could feel him shivering .As the sun  began to fade and the shadows and the shadows of the mountains drew in . carefully,  they gathered sticks and branches to build a hut.

Tim filled in the gaps with moss until it was a waterproof  hut. Tam started a fire with some flint so it began to warm up.

 That night , they ate dried berries , some water and some mushrooms they had packed. Timmy was sound asleep while Tim and Tam were getting ready for the journey tomorrow. Carefully, TIm tucked Tam to sleep but Tim was thinking about their lives in sip sak village but slowly he drifted to sleep.
