Chapter 2 – The Journey

the children awoke to a terrifying giggle echoing through the tunnel, they saw a large figure getting nearer, instantly they got up without saying a single word to each other. All of them started as they feared for their lives, they didn’t dare to look back. Realising they weren’t so far from getting out, they carry on running until each of them get out they shut the portcullis leaving the Gorm trapped inside. 

Taking a big deep breath, they feel like they’ve run a marathon so they take a small break as they can’t see the Gorm.  Ripkin tried to walk and start their journey but he felt a pulling pain in his ear

Ripkin turned back and saw his ear stuck in the portcullis since Raz didn’t see the Gorm she quickly pulled it up the children  start running, the children start to think that they have lost the Gorm so they stop and take a long deep breath “ i know where we are Good Luck Forest!’’ gasped Raz they look at each other “so that means what exactly?’’ wondered Ripkin ‘’that means there’s a burrow east in about 5 minutes’’ replied Raz, they wander east for a little bit the children spot a burrow and start sprinting towards it as they get close they hear cheering and people having fun Raz knocks and looks at Podkin “ are you sure this is a good idea? We don’t even know them”  Raz questioned the door opens “ Hello little ones can i help you?” asked an old rabbit “uh yes please we were wondering if we could come in we have nowhere to go” replied Ripkin , The rabbit lets the children in.

They ask for some food and sit down calmly, Raz sighs in relief  “finally somewhere warm!” Raz exclaimed they got their food and started gobbling it like animals Ripkin notices a familiar looking skull symbol on the wall  he points it out to Raz “that’s the Gorms symbol” shouted Raz she picks up Rio “Run through here!” she added they run like they have never before they speed up the pace as they see the portcullis. Closing they slipped under it like ninjas except for one Podkin his ear was stuck again! but this time you couldn’t just lift it back up this time he was really stuck…
