CHAPTER NINE, ATTACK AND BATTLE
() Before I begin, let me just say that my Shift Key isn't working so well, so just bear with me if anything isn't capitalized that should be! ()
"We're losted," grumbled Akio the hoglet. "We're losted in Mossflowy Woods! This is all yer fault!" he snapped at Furrlun.
"No 's not. 'S no 'un's fault," Furrlun shot back.
"Let's stop for rest," suggested Cora the volemaid.
"Yeah! Rest 'n' food," agreed Odell. Fawn had been carrying the haversack. She slung it from her back and opened it up.
"Burr, did Vuhnag pack enny wa'er?" asked Fawn as she rummaged through the sack.
"I don't think so," murmured Odell uneasily. He looked around. It was growing quite dark.
"SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
"WHAT WAS THAT?!" screamed Akio.
"SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-EEEEEECH!!!!!! SCRAAAAAAAAAW! SCREEECH!!"
Fawn pointed a shaking paw to the sky and cried, "Look, et's ee owlyburd!"
"Owls are dangerous! Run!" cried Odell. He grabbed the haversack of food and began stumbling away through Mossflower Woods.

Waterfish cocked her head to one side.
"Riley, did you hear that? 'Twas an owl bird!" exclaimed the ottermaid. She glanced around and heard a scream.
"Who could that owl be tormenting?" she wondered aloud.
"I don't want to tangle with an owl, missy. Let's hurry up and get away from here. Owls are dangerous," whispered Riley urgently. The dog and otter swiftly made their way through Mossflower Woods.

The five Dibbuns raced away, blundering blindly through the loam and shrubs. Suddenly, Odell ran slap bang into a large, furry leg.
"AAAAAH!" he yelled as he fell to the ground, hitting his elbow on a sharp tree root.
"What's that?" came a friendly male voice. Suddenly, Odell found a large, wet, black nose in his face.
"Odell!" exclaimed a voice he recognized. "What are you doing here?"
The Dibbuns looked up at Waterfish.
"We came to help you," explained Cora.
"I don't need help. You should be back at Redwall." Waterfish looked at Riley. "How can we assure their safety home?"
"I'm not goin' back to Redwall," cried Odell defiantly. "I'm going to help you!"
Waterfish lowered her eyes. "I suppose you aren't a Dibbun." Waterfish sighed.
"I'll take them back to Redwall." Riley began trotting away, calling, "Come, Dibbuns! I'll lead you home."
Odell and Waterfish began walking along. Waterfish was wondering if she had done right, letting Odell come along.
"LOOK OUT!" screamed the male otter. He ducked and so did Waterfish. An arrow hit the loam right behind Waterfish.
She looked up and saw the rat who had stolen Martin's sword.
"YOU! YOU'RE KABBLE IONAEYES, AREN'T YOU?!" she yelled at her, drawing Kabble's old dirk and waving it about as she hopped angrily from footpaw to footpaw. "I'LL KILL YOU, KABBLE! I'LL KILL YOOOOOOOOU!!!"
Kabble raised a paw and then dropped it.
Two score rats appeared on the hills, all with bows and daggers.
"Ready?" hissed Kabble. There was a shifting of footpaws as a rustling of feathers as arrows were nocked into every bow. "FIRE!" he screamed. Every bow twanged as the shafts headed straight towards Odell and Waterfish.
