Chapter 3 – The Run

They are in Australia, the big bold country. From the cafe there was loud screaming like someone was being murdered. Then, there was a clang – like iron doors being closed behind Pop, Riz and baby Aurther. They ran to see what was happening, but just then they saw a glimpse of the Gorm full on watching out the window for them to run into their trap. They scattered away from the Gorm. Scared that they could be following behind them, they watched their every move in case the Gorm’s buddy was to follow.

Pop, Riz and Aurther ended up in the finders forest ready to run to a safer place to rest their heads for the night. They go to the shop on the way to get their tents and food for baby Aurther but instead of buying them, Pop grabs it and runs. However, they didn’t realise that the owner of the shop is the Gorm’s friend. They galloped away happily not knowing what’s coming. The Gorm’s friend picks up the phone to ring them and says, “Hi, are you looking for 3 rabbits?”

The Grom replied smugly, “oh yes we are, have you seen any?”

“They just stole from my shop. I’m not very pleased. Can you stop this?” replied the agitated friend. 

“Thank you for contacting me,” said the Gorm. “They are the rodents I’ve been looking for. I’ll send the crow your way!”

The rabbits on the other hand were quite happily putting the tents up not aware of what was happening elsewhere. It was hard and it was freezing outside. Snow was laying on the floor. Suddenly, the crow, which was made of iron, flew overhead observing what the rabbits were up to. He quickly flew back to the Gorm to report the location of the three young rabbits.

They stepped out of their tent to look around as they thought they could hear something suspicious. To their surprise, there was a clang of iron. They were scared to look but suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed them. Will they have been captured or have they managed to escape?
