The Cave was dark and smelt musky.
Clairon and Selin held their breath for a long time to get used to the smell.
"Let us go! You've no right to do this! We're friends" shouted Clairon as she wrestled out of somebeast's grip
"Darkbrush, let's have some light to see what our friends are" a voice said coldly.
The sound
Of
SKRIT…SKRIT…SKRIT….
Suddenly the room was bathed in light.
The sudden light was startling to the foxes who eyes adjusted to the light, they saw that they were surrounded by a few ferrets, many Squirrels, a trio of Hedgehogs, a pair of Hares and a Giant-sized Badger.
"So Foxes, are you traitors to your kin?" spoke a fox-like creature which wore a green Tunic and a Silver Bandana.
"We are no traitors to our kin. We only wish to know who we are in the presence of" spoke Clairon.
Selin was shaking terribly, not daring to take her paw out of Clairon's.
The Badger growled as it fingered a Club eagerly,
The Fox-like creature, White with Black paws as it was, moved forwards.
"I am Ylva the Wolf, This is my territory and you have trespassed. You are now slaves"
"Wait. We didn't mean to trespass. How could Youngbeasts like us know?" shouted Clairon dragging Selin with her
"You would have known by the scratch marks on the trees. They are our borderlines. They even have the Footpaw, our clan mark"
"We were running for our lives from a vermin Horde! We had no choice!" shouted Clairon as she moved closer to Ylva.
"Take them to the dungeons"
