Chapter 2

The sun was rising at the Spider Cave. Peter woke up with a strange noise coming from the ancient door. Worried, Peter opened the door to Penelope, the messenger fox, who had a piece of paper hanging out of her mouth. As she nudged her head forward signalling to take it from her, Peter took it. The message said that the Gorm were coming and knew where they were. While they were on their way they were destroying other animals’ homes. Peter froze in fright. There was no time to waste, the Gorm was getting closer every second. Peter checked his map and they set off towards the Fire House. 

 

As they hiked through the woods, the woods were silent. Every twig that was stepped on made them all jump. As the rain came down it got harder and harder and it became colder and difficult to walk. 

 

After an hour’s walk, the tired rabbits found themselves heading towards the Fire House. The rabbits could see a huge black volcano with smoke coming out of small holes in the side of it. When they looked up they could see a massive dark cloud hovering over it trying to force rain out. Huge pieces of coal dotted around the area. Big black crows circling for prey ready to pounce if needed. The sound of bubbles bursting and the screaming of the volcano. 

 

From their hiding spots, they could see a gang of weasels sniffing around and hunting for prey. As it was only a day till they arrived at the volcano they kept on going and faced the dangers. There were seven weasels in total, there was an albino one which was the feistiest and it was the leader, two brown ones and a black and white weasel. The rest of them were brown white and black. They couldn’t turn back now. 

 

Quietly, the three rabbits tiptoed around the volcano. They made it to the other side and as soon as they got to the last little bit and thought that they made it. The leader turned his head and looked straight into Pearl’s eyes…
