Ch 5 The Fight, and a Transformation

The four of them gave of a loud yell as they ran towards the sacrifice. Kele smirked as soon as he saw them. He put Aquene down, who was suddenly surprised by that gesture. They stopped running and yelling when he put Aquene down.

"Where are they?" Sitka growled.

"Oh, the other two are in there," Kele gestured. "But, there's four of you, and more of me."

Sitka gave a small growl and ran at him. Kele smirked again and pulled out his dagger. Sitka tried to hit him, but he dodged it. Three other people pulled out daggers and ran at Kenai, Denahi and Deva. Kenai and Denahi countered it, but Deva had to dodge, since she didn't bring a spear. The one fighting Kenai slit his wrist, and Kenai had to bite his lip to keep from yelling out. Denahi immediately flipped the one he was fighting into the river, and he went under the water. Denahi immediately grabbed the other guy's hood and flung him near the river.

Deva let out a small shriek as she dodged another attack. Deva noticed a tree not to far away, and she walked backwards towards it. The guy smirked, and was going to try and hit her, but she dodged and the dagger got stuck in the tree. As he was struggling to pull it out, both Kenai and Denahi whacked him in the head with their spears, knocking him unconscious. They both smiled, until they saw Sitka . . .

Sitka was nearing the raging river, trying to keep away from it. Losing his footing, he fell. Kele was going to make sure that the sacrifice was going to happen. He was about to stab him, when lights came from behind him. Turning, Kele was shocked to have seen what was happening. A stag (male deer) was looking at them. He wasn't alive; he was a great spirit. They could tell because he was glowing and transparent, not to mention that he was different colored.

A doe was standing next to him, also a great spirit. Kele slowly backed away, and nearly fell into the river. The two deer stepped towards them, before changing shape. The stag was a man; he looked similar to Sitka, except for the fact that his face was narrower and aged, and his hair was longer. The doe, now a woman, was beautiful. Her hair was pulled into a single braid, and she was petite.

"Mom? Dad?" Both Kenai and Denahi whispered at the same time.

The people surrounding them were speechless and left them quickly, backing away. Aquene was staring at the both of them, fear in her eyes. The woman walked over to her and untied her. After she was untied, the woman hugged her. Aquene squirmed a little bit, but relaxed. The man walked over to them and sat next to them. Sitka got up slowly, and crept towards them. Deva, Kenai and Denahi also crept towards them. When they got to them, the kneeled right next to the three of them.

"Mom, Dad . . . We've missed you," Kenai said, trying to hide the tears that came with that.

Mom had acknowledged that and hugged both Kenai and Denahi. Their dad placed a hand on Sitka's shoulder.

"Sitka, we're sorry that we left too soon, but . . ." His voice trailed off.

"We understand," Sitka said.

Letting go of Denahi and Kenai, she hugged Sitka. Deva shifted nervously as she tried to get up, but their mom grabbed her by the wrist.

"Deva, make sure that Kenai stays out of trouble," she said as she cast a slight disapproving glance at Kenai. His face turned red and he looked away so no one would notice. Deva laughed and nodded.

Their mom had put a hand on Aquene's arm, and it was glowing slightly. The glow faded into nothing, and she unwrapped the cloth that was around it. It was no longer broken. She had healed it. She turned to Kenai.

"Kenai, your totem will be valuable in life. You will understand when the time comes," She said as she handed Aquene to Sitka. Their dad nodded, and in an instant, they were gone.

"KELE! UNTIE US NOW!" Deva's sisters screamed.

"Oh no," She muttered as she ran into were they were.

Shouts were heard from behind them, coming faster.

"Oh now, not more," Sitka muttered.

Some of their villagers ran from behind the bushes, stopping when they saw what was going on. The immediately got up, and Tanana walked from behind the brush. She smiled when she saw them.

"I see that you stopped my grandson from doing the sacrifice," Tanana said as she looked at Kele, who was trembling and crawling away from his grandma.

"Wait, grandson?" Denahi said.

She nodded as he was looking for a chance to escape.

"This is the other part of our village, the part that left with Kele, as he promised better lives a few years ago," Tanana said. "Now. It's time for us to go back into one tribe again."

"Again?" Kenai said.

"You were only three when it happened for the first time, but they came back and then left again," Denahi told him.

Deva and her three sisters walked out of the small hut. She smiled when she saw some of their tribe was there.

"Did we miss anything?" Kachina asked.

"We'll explain on the way back."

The people from the other tribe walked cautiously towards them, before accepting the idea that they were part of that tribe. Kele remained sitting where he was.

"Kele, are you coming?" Sitka said.

Deva and her sisters got confused looks, but it didn't matter, because he took one look at them before jumping into the raging water.

TBC . . .

MWAHAHA! Well, we have an idea, but we still want more. The story will go on until it gets to the day of Kenai's totem, then it will stop until we finish Brother Bear: New Family. We'll add on to this one instead of starting a new story, well, maybe. Oh, yeah. We'll be writing some out takes for the movie and two Brother Bear fics, so keep on checking!
