I'm sorry that my last chapter wasn't as good as the previous chapters I have been doing. I will try to work on my battle scene's and make my scene's in general longer. So once again sorry for the mess ups on the writing.
Disclaimer: I wish I owned Redwall, I know that place like the back of my paw-er- hand.
(Begin chapter nine)
Halden, Curry, and Earthpaw had made good progress the rest of the day. Finding an old ancient oak that had toppled over, the giant tree had formed a wide bridge across the river, the three friends crossed the river. For a while they studied the old tree trying to figure out how old the tree was, but soon they gave up, continuing their quest. A couple of hours later, the warm skies had begun to darken, sending the woodpigeons back from their hunt and return to there egg chicks.
Curry's thoughts spoke for all the travelers.
"Best find somewhere to sleep tonight, mates. Afore' it gets too dark."
Earthpaw nodded in agreement, looking straight ahead into the forest they were entering.
"Hurr, yoom taken thee words right out o' thy mouth Curry."
Halden put his food pack against a young chestnut tree, at the same time picking off a ripe chestnut and popped the sweet nut in his mouth, crumbs sticking to his whiskers. Smiling like a dibbun, he spread his paws wide exclaiming.
"Why not here, there is plenty of extra food for us add to our packs, I can see a creek, and there is lots of dead wood around us for a fire. I vote we sleep here tonight."
Earthpaw needed no second bidding. He dropped his pack and began gathering up firewood. Curry on the other hand viewed his opinions.
"I dunno Halden, I'm worried that those vermin we ran into today will come back, maybe we should get into a deeper wooded area."
Halden threw a paw over Curry's shoulder.
"I thought about that too mate, I was thinking either you or me could stand watch, I wouldn't choose Earthpaw because doses off when he's full and can sleep through anything, and he knows that to. So like I said you or I could take watch.
Curry seemed convinced, so he dropped his pack.
"Aright, we'll stay. Oh, and I'll take the watch, cause Halden me mate, you can sleep through anything too."
Curry cackled as he ran off with Halden hard on his heels. Earthpaw, who had gotten a fire going, broke more sticks for kindling, shaking his head.
"Burr, proper pudden heads them boths bee, hurr hurr."
An hour later it was pitch dark in the woods and trees. A night warbler found herself looking at the three travelers, completely happy and content. Everyone was asleep except for curry, who was at watch. He himself couldn't help but nod off as well.
Soon, half an hour passed and curry could see a blurry shape through his half closed eyes. Curry raised his staff to ward off the stranger, but some other creature caught on to his staff and took it from curry's weary paws and quickly, the creature sent the wood down on curry's head. Mercifully, Curry lost consciousness.
The creature who had hit curry signaled to the other creature to come to him. Scrawntooth stepped into the fire light.
"I guess you were wrong about these beast, weren't yer?
Meeky smiled at his plan. He was quite happy with himself. He raised a scruffy paw up and beckoned silence.
"Shhh! Knock those other two out before they awake. Lumphead, Flatpaw, git those sacks on yer shoulder. The chiefs gonna be happy we got some slaves fer him, maybe we'll get promoted to captains eh?"
Silently binding the now three unconscious travelers paws and feet, the four weasels quietly slipped back into surrounding woods unnoticed.
(Next day)
Halden woke up with his head pounding. Confused why, he tried to stand up, but he couldn't. He was bound to chains! Shocked, his eyes searched for his friends. Curry and Earthpaw were beside him, chained as well and still asleep. Once he saw they were okay, Halden checked his surroundings.
He was in some sort of cave with a cell door attached to it. he heard noises outside, some beast was arguing. Hoping it was a friend, not foe, he called out desperately.
"Someone help us, were trapped in a cave. Help us please!"
Suddenly, a huge weasel came up, brandishing a whip and had two beautifully carved daggers attached to his newtskined belt. the weasel wore a cape of black velvet with silver tassels tied to his neck. His smile showed his sharklike teeth.
"I am Blackfang, and you four are now my slaves!"
