Chapter 14

Tyler, Hawkbit, Dandelion, Kehaar, and Hannah woke up after they had hid over night by the covered bushes.

"Son, are you ready to return home?" Hawkbit asked.

"Home is a wonderful word Dad." Tyler answered.

"We need to let Hazel and the others know that we found Tyler and heading towards our way." Hannah hopped onto Kehaar's back. Kehaar flew upwards and started to fly South.

"Hopefully, they weren't that much for the long wait." Dandelion said.

Tyler smiled to hear his relatives, following his kidnap. Hawkbit looked back at him.

"Son, I understand that having a family is wonderful. I'm sure you're happy of having your brothers."

"Of course I'm. I'm sure they would be thrilled to see, including Mom." Tyler assured.

"I know. I had done a lot of thinking about how much I took for granted about you were as a human and Mason." Hawkbit started to recollect his behavior towards humans.

"Dad, you have always loved me since you adopted me. I can't even tell you how many times that I love you Dad. I'm sure Mason would loved you too, since he's part of family." Tyler said.

"Well. I guess my lesson about love comes from you, your mother, and Mason." Hawkbit said.

Tyler hugged his dad suddenly. Hawkbit than accepted the hug and started to tear.

"I missed you so much, I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you again."

"Dad, I forgive you. Mostly, it's my fault. I'm the one should be careful. If you were taken, I would done the same thing." Tyler added.

"I know you would have." Hawkbit smiled.

"Come on, enough with the chit chat. We need to meet up with Hazel and the Owsla, and Mason." Dandelion exclaimed.

The trio started their journey.

Meanwhile, Hazel and I continued to journey to find Hawkbit. We than stopped for a quick break.

"Do you think they may have found Tyler?" I asked.

"Hopefully, I believe I do." Hazel hoped.

"Hazel! Mason!" we heard a seagull accent's voice.

We saw Kehaar was soaring above the trees and started to descend for a landing. Instead, he crashed into the grass. I hopped over to see if he was alright, but he just got up and dusted off. I chuckled because I have been seeing him crash landing since, I lived at Watership Down.

"Perfect landing?" I asked.

"Yea, perfect landing." he said.

"Perfect landing?! Kehaar you made better landings than this!" she joked.

Me and Hazel shook our heads.

"Hawkbit found Tyler, and they're heading their way towards you to regroup." Hannah said.

I took a relief breath that Tyler was found and safe.

"Thank Frith!" Hazel was relieved. "We're heading our way towards them."

"Are they being followed?" I asked.

"We haven't seen anyone following us." Kehaar answered.

"We'll follow you to meet up and we'll group with the others at the reserve." Hazel suggested.

Kehaar started to take off, as Hannah held on. They flew towards the sky and we started to follow his path.

It was only about five minutes after we followed Kehaar, we spotted a small band of rabbits. That was when I saw Hawkbit, Dandelion, and Tyler, I ran towards Tyler and gave him a brotherly hug.

"Tyler, I'm sorry." I apologized.

"Don't worry about it, Mason." he just smiled.

"Are you hurt or did he put something in?" I asked, because I know what Hugh and Clayton could have done to him.

"He put a syringe and I was put to sleep, but I don't what he did." he recalled.

I could only picture him being in a cage and I couldn't tell him or know what they could have done to him. All the matters is that he's safe.

"We need to head our way back to the reserve before, Bigwig and the others are worried." Hazel said.

We'll agreed and we headed back. Before I started to follow, I was stopped back Hawkbit.

"Mason, thank you." he said.

"Your welcome." I said.

"And I have to thank you again." he said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Yesterday, I felt a bit of change of how I felt about 'man'. I'll tell you about it sometime." he answered.

We smiled and headed our way back to the reserve.

Bigwig was waiting outside of the burrow on guard. He was watching over Fiver and Pipkin eating some grass. Pipkin stopped eating and came towards him.

"Bigwig, don't you think they'll be back?" he asked.

"I'm sure they would, when they find Tyler." he answered.

"The only misunderstanding is that I don't know. Why Mason headed off?" Fiver joined.

"I believed that he had to join Hawkbit, because he couldn't be able to leave Hawkbit and Dandelion lost, if Kehaar lost his way." Bigwig answered.

"Hopefully, Hazel was able to find Mason and the others, as well as Tyler." Fiver hoped.

They gasped when they heard Kehaar flying above.

"Kehaar, down here!" Bigwig called.

"Bigwig! Bigwig!" Kehaar descended and accidentally crashed into Bigwig.

Fiver and Pipkin giggled.

"Sorry, Bigwig!" he was overjoyed and apologetic.

"It's alright, any news about Tyler, Hawkbit and Dandelion, and Mason and Hazel?" he asked.

"Hawkbit found Tyler! Everyone is on there way to meet you!" Kehaar was flapped his wings.

"Where are they though?" Bigwig asked.

"Actually we're right here." I surprised Bigwig, as he jumped.

"Tyler! You're alright!" Bigwig exclaimed.

"Thank Frith!" Fiver was overjoyed with Pipkin.

"How did you escape?" Pipkin asked Tyler.

"Well, let's say that I have been out of the cage in the house for a while by picking the lock. I wander the house for a while for a way out at night and found no where. Until I saw Dad and Uncle Dandelion, he was outside of the house and I felt more determined than before that I had to find a way out. I came across to 'the man's' room and his window was opened. I climbed and I got out of the house through the roof and hopped down." Tyler explained his escape.

"That was daring!" I complimented.

"Who Dares Wins." Bigwig quoted.

"Ready to head for home, Tyler?" Hawkbit asked his son.

"Home is a wonderful word Dad." Tyler agreed.

"Couldn't agree more." Fiver followed.

Everyone else, including myself agreed. We started our journey home by leaving the reserve and the road.
