I don't own Silverwing or Guardians of Ga'Hoole. I only own this story and the characters not in the books.
Ursa dropped down back onto all fours. She looked around for the one who had waked her from her sleep. That's when she saw the bats and the owls.
"You're a Silverwing. Not good. This is not good. You must go. You were never here. This is just a dream. A bad, bad dream." muttered Ursa.
Shade gathered up his courage to speak with the white bear thousands of times his size.
"You have to stop the wolves and tell Boreal the Silverwings are innocent." begged Shade.
Ursa looked at the Silverwing.
"I'm not telling Boreal anything. If I say I saw a Silverwing, he'll want details. And then they'll be meetings, and plans, and patrols, and probably more meetings." complained Ursa.
Ursa walked away from the bats and owls. Shade, Marina, the Starwings, and the Band followed after the white bear. They weren't going to let Ursa go that easily. She was the only lead they had to convince Boreal and his army that the Silverwings were innocent.
Ursa stopped near a large metal container and opened it. She ate some of the orange pellets that fell out of the metal container. The bats and owls landed near where Ursa was eating. They all recoiled (well at least the Starwings and the Band recoiled) at the scent of the food Ursa ate.
"What are you eating?" asked Gylfie.
Ursa looked at the small Elf owl.
"This is food the humans brought me. But you're not getting any. So keep away. And why are you asking? Shouldn't you be trying to hunt those bats instead of helping them hide?" assumed Ursa.
Soren landed on the metal container so he could better talk to Ursa.
"My friends and I don't come from these lands. I am Soren. And the other owls are Gylfie, Digger and Twilight. We come from a place called Ga'Hoole. Three of the bats are Starwings. Their names and full titles are Prince Eclipse, future Chief of the Black Aura Clan, Princess Aurora, priestess of the Back Aura Clan, and Prince Dusk, Oracle apprentice of the Black Aura Clan. They are the sons and daughter of Chief Thrash of the Black Aura Clan and Chieftess Moonlight of the Black Aura Clan. The Silverwing is Shade and the Brightwing is Marina. We mean you no harm. We just want your help." explained Soren.
Soren had developed a tendency of introducing his Starwing friends by their full name and rank within their Clan. He didn't do it quite often, but when he did it was to try and get another person's attention. Soren was probably hoping to get Ursa attention by stating three of the bats traveling with him were royalty and it would encourage her to help them. Sadly it didn't work.
Twilight was beginning to lose his patience. Eclipse was not too far behind his Great Gray friend. It wouldn't be too long before the bat and owl warriors swooped down from the tree and tried to attack the white bear, even if they were no match for it. The only thing keeping the two from doing it were Digger and Aurora.
"I've had just about enough with that bear. If I have to hear her complain I'm going to go yokes." swore Twilight.
Digger tried to calm down his Great gray friend.
"Calm down Twilight. We have to stay calm. Soren's handling things the best he can. We just have to be patient." stated Digger.
Aurora looked down at Ursa. The white furred, female Starwing noticed the tag in one of Ursa's ears. That's when Aurora got an idea. She looked back at her owl friends and her brothers.
"Digger, look after my brothers. Try to keep Eclipse under control and watch out for Dusk, he's been acting a bit strange lately. I'm going to try to talk to Ursa. Hopefully I'll have a better chance than Shade or Soren did." exclaimed Aurora.
Aurora dropped down from the tree branch and glided towards Ursa. She landed on the metal container beside Soren. A quiet look from Aurora told Soren she could handle it and he wasn't needed. The Barn owl took to the air and landed near the rest of his friends from Ga'Hoole.
"Did the Nowings...humans... put that thing is your ear?" asked Aurora.
Aurora was going to try and warm up to Ursa before she asked the bear to help them.
"Of course they did. I'm special. I'm a black bear that happens to be white." proudly said Ursa.
Aurora found she had something to speak with Ursa about.
"Then we have something in common. If you look at my brother, the largest bad with the largest mouth, you'll notice he had black fur. All Starwing have black fur. I was born with white fur for some reason. My Clan thinks it has to do with me having a special destiny. As far as we know, no other Starwing, besides me, has been born with white fur. There is no record of it in our, or any of the owls', history." explained Aurora.
Ursa seemed to be a bit interested in the white Starwing bat. She was about to say something when she was interrupted. The wolves that had trapped Shade, Marina, Dusk, and all the others ran passed them.
"You're their leader. Do something." snapped Marina.
Ursa glared at the Brightwing.
"I didn't ask to be elected. It's not my problem." replied Ursa.
It was obvious to everyone that they weren't going to get any help from Ursa. She was to selfish and self centered. She wouldn't have helped them even if the owls weren't hunting them. All they could do was fly away and try to find another way to prove that the Silverwings were innocent.
