chapter three

across the nation

Still panting from all his running  Percy spoke in a cautious voice “we have to cross the nation right away and get to the frightening forests where we can shelter for the night, then continue to the crevassing caves there we will be safe.”But Percy you still haven’t told me why.” answered Pam to what Percy just told them. Trembling with fear Percy  responded to Pam’s question “Th-th-the Gorm is near.”

“In that case let’s pack up right away and get to the frightening forest.” And so they packed up and continued their journey. After what felt like years they finally caught sight of trees across the snowy desert. As they entered the frightening forest there stood 7 huge rabbits all dressed in iron armour. As soon as the rabbits saw the three bunnies they snatched them up and took them away to a deserted hut in the middle of the forest where they got hung up on hooks by their cloaks. They hung there for a few minutes before the chief of the Gorm came in and said “where are you going? Why are you running away from us whenever we come near?”

Nobody answered for a long time till Percy finally took a deep breath and said “across the sea to seabay burrow,” (of course there was no such thing as seabay burrow, he made it up).”Very well, then take us there immediately or else there will be consequences”. Then he let the three of them of the hooks and out the door into the evening sunlight.
