A/N: I know I said the third chapter of Nightmare before I posted this next chapter but I am still stuck on what to do with Kallik's nightmare, but I feel that I have a good idea of how to keep Cubnapped going.

Chapter 2: Ujurak Knows And A New Threat
Night had fallen upon the Last Great Wilderness before they had decided to rest after a long day of exploring their new home. During this time all the bears seemed to have been quieter than normal, at least Toklo and Ujurak were. "So why have you two been so silent today?" Kallik asked the two brown bears, when they had decided to stay at for the night. Neither one gave a reply to her question. Kallik just sighed and walked over to where she would be sleeping. Lusa, who had been waiting to climb up a tree to sleep for the night so that she could hear how Toklo and Ujurak would respond to Kallik's question, began to climb up the tree she had picked to sleep in.
When Ujurak was sure that both Kallik and Lusa were asleep he turned toward Toklo with a questioning look on his face. "Now what is causing you to act this way, it is very much unlike you?" Ujurak asked Toklo with a hint of worry in his voice. Toklo looked straight at Ujurak, in a way that would tell may others to shut up on the spot. "What do you mean?" Toklo asked in a voice that matched the look he was giving Ujurak. "If it is about that bear you fought against back at Great Bear Lake, then I already know he has been following us." Ujurak stated tonelessly. Toklo was shocked by this statement, he had told Ujurak about the incident with Shoteka back at Pawprint Island, but Ujurak had never seemed to notice that they were being followed by any other creature of any kind.
"And I haven't told anyone about this for the same reason you did, so that neither Kallik nor Lusa would get worried about Shoteka's possible presence." Ujurak stated as if he could read Toklo's thoughts, just before walking off to sleep in a predetermined spot, leaving Toklo by himself.
'I swear that that bee brain has some sort of issue with the thought of just leaving me alone when I want him to.' Toklo thought angrily as he turned toward his sleeping spot, but just quickly he picked up the all too familiar scent of another bear, the same scent that had followed them for so long and continued to stalk them here. "Where are you?" Toklo growled loudly.
"Feisty, aren't you" Taunted an all too familiar voice as an equally familiar bear emerged from the foliage, Shoteka. Shoteka raised a paw into the air and slammed it down onto Toklo's back, causing Toklo to lose his balance and fall to the ground. "So why are you following us, exactly?" Toklo stated in between clenched teeth and with pure fury in his voice. Shoteka just glared at him with pure hatred in his eyes, "You stripped me of my dignity back at Great Bear Lake when you defeated me in that fight!" Shoteka shouted at Toklo, as he slammed his paw down hard on Toklo.
"So you are here to kill me in a stupid act of vengeance?!" Toklo shouted as the pain from Shoteka's blow began to surge through him. Shoteka stared at him with a look of murderous thought and questioning, before giving a response. "No, not yet. I feel that I can make you suffer by killing your friends before I kill you." This was the last thing Toklo heard Shoteka say before falling into unconsciousness.
Shoteka smirked evilly as he looked up into a nearby tree that Lusa was sleeping in. "But first I may need a hostage to play a bit of a scare game." Shoteka stated, to himself, under his breath.
A/N: What is Shoteka planning exactly, and what did he mean by hostage. PM me if you think you know. And I also hope to have the third chapter of Nightmares up ASAP. Read and review.
