It's the new version please read it and review. I knowtest that I messed up on the badger character.

Prologue

A young hare looked up from were she sat and gazed around. Seeing a young badger and wooden bars she realized her fate was true. The cage she and the badger were trapped in was partially in the ground.

Veronique, the young hare, was sent out on a mission to find the badger lord's son. After a few days she found the badger but vermin surrounded him. She ran down to help him but the strength of the vermin was too much and over powered the two. Her dirk that her dad gave her was taken after they were caught, which was their only weapon. It was a season since being caught. With the amount of time on her hand she thought about her life back at Salamandastron.

The badger began to rouse a short while later. His name was Venero. But to be safe neither he nor Veronique used his real name. The reason for this the horde had given him a nickname because when trying to capture the two, the badger had bit a stoat. A day later the stoat died of the wound. And also they both knew it was just safer to use the name they gave Venero, 'cause of the vermin had such great fierceness to bring down and capture a grown badger.

" 'Ey Veronique, got ya some vittles." A voice called from out side the cage. A grey hand reached into the cage with some apples, blackberries, and other fruits.

On the other side of the bars, stood a gentle-looking male fox. " 'ello Frostfang, thanks for the vittles," Veronique said while taking the food. "Please be careful, it's too soon to be caught since if you plan works it will be only a couple days till you help us escape."

Frostfang was the youngest member of the horde and its 'omega'. Frostfang was also, shocking for his age, the second smartest, only the horde leader, Tixtako, intelligence surpassed his. His smartest move was once Veronique and Venom were captured, Frostfang seized up the chance to help them escape, if they would take him with them.

"Don't worry nobody is ever around when I come here. So don't worry and in three day it won't matter anymore," Frostfang whispered to the young hare before muttering to himself "I hope so." Frostfang's unusually silverish-gray fur shined in the sun as he left.

"That fox again, Veronique." Venero asked a second before letting out a big yawn. His huge bulky body shifted from its resting spot.

"Yep, it was, Venero he brought use some vittles." The haremaid replied handing Venero half of what Frost gathered. They ate the fruit in silence.

As the day progressed, both captives grew tried and were about to fall asleep when they heard the sound of fighting then the painful cry of a rat dying and the yells of two beasts, both were males but one was a babe.

Within a few moments a slender male squirrel and baby mouse were thrown into the cage with the badger and the hare. The squirrel got up immediately and checked on the little mouse. After checking on his little friend he began to look around. When he saw Veronique and Venero he stood still and asked a single question that shocked the haremaid. "Are you Veronique, officer of the Long Patrol?"
