Aurora and Nike soon announced that they must stop and rest for the night. Gregor hadn't realized the time that had passed, but soon the two bats had huddled up and were asleep. Howard and Luxa laid out sleeping areas for themselves and Gregor. Ripred and Ratchet took the first watch. And Lapblood curled up by herself, away from the others.

Gregor found it odd that everyone was acting as if the gnawers or some other enemy would attack at any moment. He also found it odd that, after everything that they had been through together, Lapblood still avoided being next to humans. Then he thought of Flyfur and Sixclaw. And every thought instantly vanished from his mind.

Out of the corner of his eye, Gregor saw Artemis flutter over to Aurora and Nike, and huddle next to them. He also saw Ripred carelessly shrug his shoulders at the bat, and go back to standing guard.

Now that he knew that everything was going to be ok, Gregor let himself drift off to sleep.

Gregor woke to a vigorous shaking, his first thought was 'earthquake', but then he realized it was only Ripred shaking him.

"Come on, boy." Grunted the rat. Gregor yawned and stretched, and pulled himself to his feet. Lapblood and Ratchet were just coming back from a river off somewhere, their fur was wet, and both of them had a large fish in their mouths.

Gregor looked over to where Luxa and Howard were, they were cooking another large fish over a fire. Gregor came over to them and sat down again. Temp scurried over to them and settled himself down by the fire.

Nike and Aurora were sharing bits and pieces of their fish with Artemis – who was still keeping away from the group.

For the time being, everything looked calm and safe. That was, until Ratchet screamed.
