Chapter 1 – Leaving the Warren

Gorm. Shockingly, the rest of the warren chose to go elsewhere but Piper’s mother had given them an ancient map from thousands of years ago. So, it would show them the old paths that they could follow.

That Morning, an unexpecting message had arrived with a small robin-carrier only to say that the mischievous Gorm was only a few miles away from Stepwater Warren. If you’re not a mighty Gorm. It was covered by tough mountains and lots of iron made by the rabbits long ago. After a week, when the rabbits reached Splint Hill they would be pretty safe from the 

 

Holding on to it tightly, the tiny band of trusted rabbits struggled over the tightrope that spanned across the cold, dark waters of Grinhats Old River. A couple of hours later they were in this odd, mysterious forest, tiptoeing their way to what they hoped would probably be close to Stepwater, there is still a slight chance they might get you! So be aware of the mysterious Gorm… it can chase after you when you’re not near them. 

 

So it was that the three tiny rabbits who were called Pickle, Piper and Pippa left their home for their safety but their journey would be quite a long time, almost a week. But before they even started this journey they needed to pass the old, grassy forest of Darkwater and cross the long, boring fields until they reached the dark, cold rock caves of Splint Hill, which originally was named Cold Water Warren. However, no one could enter it, not even the safety. Long branches were hitting their faces since the branches had not been cut down before. They kept following the ancient pathway and tried not to get pricked by the scratchy, sharp thorns. 

 

Strolling behind Piper, Pippa held onto baby Pickle. Struggling, they tried to follow the footsteps of their older sibling. pickle decided to make it more fun so he made it just like a game for everyone to enjoy. They were wishing to get where they were going before midnight. Tired, everyone stood still for a little break. But, Piper Couldn’t move a muscle! She looked down to see both of her paws were frozen for some weird reason. She tried breaking out but nothing worked. Everyone turned around to see Piper frozen. They were all worried and didn’t know what to do. Time passed and they finally got her out. Instantly, they searched for shelter to keep warm. 

 

Later that dark night, they all ate slices of small dry apple and a warm bowl of porridge that was very bitter. About two minutes later, at 10pm at night, Piper, Pickle and Pippa went to bed. Pickle snuggled between both of them since he was worried that the Gorm would take Piper and Pippa away. He wished to be with his happy family again. 

 

As Pickle drifted away, he had a lot of fear that entered his dreams. The only thing he dreamed about was Lontown City and the rest of his family worrying if the Gorm would get them. Would they ever see their family again and would they be safe?
