Chapter 37

The Grass is Not Always Greener

The next day came by like a breeze for the four friends and it felt like they just closed their eyes, however, they all managed to get up early so they could catch up to the colony faster. Before leaving, however, they all wanted to get freshened up. Crickets were chirping as the four friends were getting freshened up but it didn't bother them. All they were concerned about was hurrying up so they could find the colony.

In the mornings, Holden usually would've listened to some music to get himself motivated but the only thing close to what sounded like music was the crickets but that didn't even get him motivated. All he could do at this moment was roost upside-down on a tree branch that Shade was also on and he was looking around his surroundings bored. All he wanted to do was eat cereal in his pj's and watch some TV that was to his interest but because he was out here he couldn't and was now watching everything around him like it was a nature show. All he wanted to do was get moving pretty soon.

Kassidy was on a tree branch that was next to Marina's and she had her foot against the side of her inner thigh, her hands pressed together near her chin, and she had her eyes closed. She was meditating without a problem whatsoever as Marina was now grabbing a very plump berry off a plant-that she used sometimes back at the cathedral-with her claw and the juice started to drip down her arm as she then hummed to herself. She then started to squeeze and spread the juice around the parts where it could easily squirm through the band and as she did she sighed in relief.

"Zephyr was right, these berries really are soothing," Marina said as she continued to spread the juice to her banded arm.

"Zephyr was right about a lot of things," Kassidy said as she continued to meditate. "If we hadn't of came across him who knows what might've happened."

Holden sighed and looked at Shade as the girls were talking to each other and when he did he saw him pluck a leaf from the same kind of plant the berries were growing out of. Shade hummed to himself as he was inspecting the leaf and Holden then saw that he was going to eat it. Holden's eyes widened and he swung upwards and he hurried over to Shade as the girls continued to talk to each other. "Whoa, whoa," Holden said and Shade was very close to eating the leaf but he stopped and looked at Holden confused. "Dude, dude, what're you doing?"

"What?" Shade said.

"Don't eat that, it'll knock you out cold."

Shade looked at Holden with his brow furrowed annoyed. "Since when do you know your plants?"

"I may not know my vocabulary Smalls, but I know for sure that's something not to be messed with."

He couldn't believe he remembered what these leaves did and to think he was failing in most of his classes. It was a good thing that Holden even remembered otherwise Shade would've passed out like a light. He felt proud of himself right now.

Holden then noticed that Shade was looking at the girls and he looked at him confused. Shade then looked back at Holden with a mischievous smile on his face. "Holden, you feel like having fun with these two?" He then plucked another leaf from the plant and extended it towards Holden. "'Cause I do."

Holden's eyes widened for a few seconds but then he smiled mischievously as well at what Shade was getting at here. "Dude, this is by far the best idea you ever came up with." He then took the leaf from Shade and they then had their backs turned to the girls and they started to pretend to eat the leaves and they were trying to contain their laughter. "Oh, wow! This tastes so good."

Shade chuckled quietly and then he said. "This is the best leaf I've ever tasted in my life." Holden also started to chuckle at a low volume.

Then, they heard the girls gasp and they heard them land onto the tree branch they were on and when they did they smiled at each other toothily. "Guys, don't tell us you ate those leaves!" Kassidy shouted.

"Have you two forgotten what those leaves can do?!" Marina shouted as well. "They'll knock you out cold!"

The boys looked at the girls and pretended to be confused. "Wha-" and before Holden could finish, he and Shade pretended they started to feel drowsy and then Holden fell down face-first onto the tree branch and pretended to sleep and snore and as he did he felt Shade lay on top of him and he pretended to sleep and snore as well.

Holden heard the girls gasp and he could feel one of them shake him and they were telling them to wake up. He also heard Kassidy curse as they were sounding distressed and he thought this was so funny he wished he had a hidden camera recording this. That would've been even funnier.

He couldn't hold it any longer and he started to chuckle and then it turned into laughter as he opened his eyes and looked at the girls and Shade was also laughing as he was looking at the girls as well. They were laughing so hard as they sat up and showed the uneaten leaves to the girls and the girls looked at them surprised. The girls were then looking at them angrily.

"Tada," Shade said and he and Holden continued to laugh more.

"You should've seen your faces," Holden pointed at the girls and he continued to laugh.

Kassidy bared her teeth and she was looking at the boys more angrily. "Guys, that's not funny!"

Holden and Shade wiped away tears of laughter as they were now trying to settle down. "You're right, it wasn't funny," Holden said. "It was hilarious!"

Holden and Shade burst out laughing again and Holden could feel his inside of the stomach start to ache from all the laughing but he continued to laugh. They were laughing so hard the leaves they were holding dropped from their hands and glided into the wind.

"What the hell's wrong with you two?!" Kassidy said as she smacked Holden's back of the head.

"Ow!" Holden began to rub the backside of his head as he and Shade now stopped laughing and it felt like a flyswatter smacked it.

"It's not funny or hilarious! You two gave us a heart attack!"

"You guys can't treat Zephyr's teachings like they're some cheap trick," Marina shouted.

"Guys, relax," Holden said as he continued to rub the backside of his head. "It was just a joke."

"To you, it may be," Kassidy said as she poked her finger in Holden's chest roughly, "but do you think it would be a joke then if you guys actually ate those leaves?! We need to find the colony but yet you two are screwing around like you're toddlers!" Fire erupted from her body and Kassidy's eyes widened and she started to do her breathing technique and as she did the fire on her evaporated.

Holden held his hands up. "Geez, I'm sorry! God!"

"Yeah, sorry," Shade said. "I couldn't care less about all that plant stuff. We're on our way to Hibernaculum, not Herbenaculum."

Kassidy rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms. "Remember what Zephyr said: plants are not just something that grows, they can be useful in a lot of situations and besides, you need to get us to Hibernaculum first. Plus the owls are still after us let's not forget."

The boys looked at each other and then they looked back at the girls. The girls were being serious about what they were saying and Holden could tell. He thought they should focus on getting to the colony and not upset these two more than how they were at the moment. Having fun could come later.

Shade then sighed as he looked away from the girls. "And my whole colony…"

Kassidy sighed as she rubbed her temples but then she looked back at the three and said: "Let's just forget that this ever happened, can we agree on that?"

Holden, Shade, and Marina looked at each other, and then they looked back at Kassidy, and one at a time they started to agree with what Kassidy said. Holden then looked to the sky and he didn't know where the colony was but he hoped that at the moment they were somewhere safe. He prayed to God that they weren't in any danger at the moment.

"Shade, you should pull up your sound map," Marina said. "We need to know how far we are from Stonehold."

Without a second thought, Shade nodded and closed his eyes as he began to concentrate on pulling up the sound map. The three watched as Shade was concentrating and moaning. The three stayed silent and didn't try to break Shade's concentration and they all knew that this was important for Shade to concentrate. It was even a good thing that Shade at least had the sound map otherwise they'd all be lost with no clue as to where they needed to go.

After all the moaning and concentration, Shade finally opened his eyes and the three looked at him inquisitively. He looked confused about something and he was scratching his head. The three looked at each other and then they looked back to Shade and he still hadn't looked back at them as he was in his thoughts.

"So… how far are we from Stonehold?" Holden asked.

Shade looked back at the three bats. "We're close… I think. We just have to look for a pine tree that looks like an arrow."

Holden, Kassidy, and Marina looked at Shade like he told them that a pig was flying. "You're kidding right?" Holden said.

"No, that's what I saw. I swear it's a pine tree that looks like an arrow."

Seeing that Shade was not lying, Holden slapped his hand against his face. "For Christ's sake…" He then looked back at Shade annoyed. "Smalls, there's like a billion pine trees around here and who knows when we're going to find a pine tree that looks like a sign. How in the hell are we even going to find it?"

"Well… I'll know it when I see it."

"Shade, Holden's right," Marina said, "It might take us a while to even find it, and what if the owls find us first?"

"Guys, calm down," Kassidy said. "We made it this far right? I'm sure we'll be able to find it if we work together. Yes, the owls are right now a problem but we can't stand around and complain about something that may be impossible to find. Sometimes things like this can be impossible but it can be done, we can find it. Just like we managed to find the city, the cathedral, and I can go on with this but you know what I mean. We did it before and we can do it again, we just have to work together like we always have."

Holden, Shade, and Marina looked at each other. Holden thought Kassidy did make a point once again and he knew that they needed to work together to find the pine tree that looks like an arrow. It would be a difficult task but he hoped that they would find it.

Marina then sighed. "Guys, I'm not going to feel safe until I'm comparing bands with Frieda." She indicated to her band as if proving her point.

"Then let's make it happen," Kassidy said as she then looked at the boys. "Right guys?"

Holden sighed but he then smirked as he crossed his arms across his chest. "Who are we kidding? You're always right."

Shade smiled weakly as he nodded. "Yeah, that's true." He then looked at Marina. "We'll make sure it happens."

At that, Marina then smiled and she opened her wings. "Then I say let's get going."

Marina then took off and so did the three Silverwings and together they started to search for the pine tree that looks like an arrow. Unbeknownst to them, they were about to be in danger.

"There's the pine tree," Shade shouted.

There was no doubt about it, up ahead of them a few flights was a pine tree that looks like an arrow pointing in a certain direction. After all this hard work and searching they finally found the pine tree. Holden even smiled in relief.

However, when Shade was saying something, Holden wasn't paying attention because in the corner of his eye he saw a lone tiger moth a couple of feet away from him. His eyes widened in surprise to see one in the area but he then smiled again and felt very hungry to try and hunt it down. He had his flops with tiger moths but he wanted to catch one real bad. He didn't want any of his friends to help. He wanted to do this on his own.

Holden looked at his friends and said: "Hey, guys?" Kassidy, Shade, and Marina looked at him confused. "You guys mind waiting there? I got a tiger moth to catch." Without waiting for a response, Holden dashed away from them and went after the tiger moth.

The tiger moth was flying away from Holden at a fast speed into the deep woods and as it did, Holden was trying to keep up with it, never taking his eyes off of it. Holden was going at a miraculously fast speed as he was chasing the tiger moth as he crisply flew around, under, and through certain things in the woods. He was hunting like never before as he was summoning sound vision on the tiger moth.

Unbeknownst to Holden, he was being watched by someone and they were following him ever so quietly making not even the slightest of a certain noise. Eyes were bored onto the Silverwing with the urge to attack him at any moment. However, they waited for the right moment to attack, steadying their breath and heartbeats as they kept a close eye on the boy so he wouldn't hear them. He would be an easy target to pounce on and at any moment he'd be grabbed hold of.

As he was still trying to get the tiger moth it then started to echo project into multiple ones. Holden smirked at the trick the tiger moth did. "Not today."

Holden already knew where the tiger moth was in the multiple echo projected ones and he went for it. Seeing that its trick didn't work, the tiger moth flew into another direction to try and escape the Silverwing. However, Holden was not going to let it get away that easily.

He flexed his clawed feet towards the tiger moth as he kept his stare on it and he had determination in those eyes. He wasn't going to fail at hunting the advanced bugs again. He wanted to hunt with no problem and not look like a fool again. Holden longed to finally catch one of the advanced bugs and now was his chance. One false move and he would surely lose his catch. He couldn't mess up now.

With a very big and powerful flap of his wings, Holden sped towards the tiger moth, and then his clawed feet grabbed hold of the tiger. Holden landed on the ground with his catch and he couldn't believe he caught his first tiger moth. He was breathing hard from all the flying he did to try and catch it but as he did he slowly started to smile. After all his failed attempts and struggles with hunting, he finally managed to catch one of the advanced bugs.

"Yes," Holden shouted not caring how loud he was at the moment. "Yes, I did it! I did it! Yes!" He then whooped. "Yeah, fear me bugs!"

Without wasting a moment, Holden began to eat the tiger moth and it tasted heavenly. He couldn't wait to tell his friends that he caught a tiger moth. Although, he knew Shade might be jealous because he always wanted to try and catch a tiger moth but Holden knew better than to brag. He of course wasn't like Chinook bragging about catching his food and such but he still couldn't wait to tell his friends about this.

As he was finishing eating his tiger moth he sighed and thought that it was time to head back to his friends before they thought he got taken by owls. He lifted his wings and was about to take off to the sky but then he heard someone behind him walking up to him. The confusion started to take place as he furrowed his brow, however, for some reason he started to feel the hairs on his back start to stick up like a cat's would whenever they got scared. He then lowered his winged arms and he slowly turned around to look at what it was that was walking up towards him and when he did his eyes widened as his breath was now stuck in his throat as he stared at who it was that was walking up to him. Fear started to kick in as he couldn't find it in himself to move.

"Wh-What the…?" Holden stuttered. "H-How? How are you…?" Holden couldn't find his words as he could only stare in fear and shock.

The three friends were roosting at the pine tree that looked like an arrow, waiting for Holden to return. He took off fast after a tiger moth deep into the woods and Kassidy would've gladly gone after him but Shade said that she shouldn't worry and that he was sure that Holden would be back soon. Kassidy didn't think it was a good idea to let Holden go flying on his own and neither did Marina but Shade somehow convinced them that he would be alright.

Kassidy was getting worried about Holden at the moment because he still hadn't returned and she was beginning to think that Holden got hurt or something. She then sighed. "That's it, I'm going after him."

"Kass, I'm sure he's on his way back here," Shade said. "Maybe give him a little bit more time."

"Shade, owls are out there. We should've followed him just in case if there are owls in this area."

Shade was about to respond but then a masculine scream was heard in the distance and this made the three of them jump in surprise. They looked to where the screaming was heard from and when they did they saw crows swarming out into the opening of the sky cawing. From the scream that the three of them heard, Kassidy thought it sounded like Holden's…

She knew they shouldn't have let him fly off on his own.

"Was that Holden?" Marina said.

Kassidy looked back at her friends and knew she had to go find Holden and fast. "Guys, go hide. I'm going to go find Holden."

Shade and Marina looked at Kassidy like she was crazy. "Kass, are you out of your roost?!" Marina said. "You can't do this on your own!"

"If there are owls in the area I can't afford letting them catch you guys. You need to go hide so that way we won't all get the chance of getting caught."

"Kass-"

Before Shade could say anything further, Kassidy looked at them seriously and said: "Go!"

Shade and Marina were hesitant but they obeyed Kassidy and flew off the tree branch and went to go hide. Kassidy took off and hurried to try and find Holden. She hoped that Holden wasn't hurt or worse.

They flew at a very fast speed trying to find a hiding spot like Kassidy told them to, however, Shade didn't feel right about finding a hiding spot. He didn't want to go hide somewhere and wait for something to happen. He wanted to do something.

Not caring what Kassidy told him and Marina to do, he turned sharply back around and pumped his wings hard to where Kassidy disappeared off to. He wasn't going to let her do this alone. He was both her and Holden's friend and the last thing he wanted was for them to get killed.

"Shade, what're you doing?!" Marina said.

"I'm going to help!" Shade replied.

Shade then heard Marina gasp and he didn't look back at her but he could tell that Marina looked distressed about something. "Shade, look out!"

"Huh?" Before Shade could process what Marina was talking about, he yelped when he felt someone grab his leg roughly and pull him down.

He then felt a hard impact against his back on the bark of a pine tree and he yelled in pain but before he could do anything he felt something tighten around his throat, causing him to have a hard time breathing. He tried to push off what was strangling him, however, no matter how hard he pushed the force kept pushing back even harder, as he was trying to push he felt something smooth and solid on his hands. Realizing he wasn't looking he looked down and when he did he thought he was going to throw up. He saw a bronze band on a forearm and that very forearm had the likings of a bat.

One that Shade would've thought he would never see again.

He slowly looked up and as he did his heart began to race while he looked up at the figure. He gasped and his eyes widened when he was now looking into the green eyes of a giant bat that he wished he never even knew in the first place. Staring at him darkly with a sneer was none other than Goth.

"Hola, amigo," the Spanish Prince bat said. "Did you miss me?"

Shade's breath was shaking as he stared at the giant bat that was still strangling him. "G-Goth!"

He then heard muffling and he turned his head and he gasped when he saw Throbb had Marina in his clawed feet and he was covering her mouth so she couldn't speak and he was smiling toothily towards Shade and he then chuckled.

"Now I am not sure about her but I am ready to meet your colony, mi amigo," Goth said as Shade then turned to look back at him.

Not knowing what else to do, Shade looked to where Kassidy disappeared off to desperately. "Kass!"

Before Shade could shout more, Goth used his other hand to cover his mouth and he was furrowing his brow at him annoyed and the only thing that came out of Shade was muffling. "Don't worry." Goth then sneered again. "She and your other friend are being taken care of."

Shade could only look at Goth shocked as he struggled against him. He realized that not only was Holden was in danger but Kassidy was as well. But the only question was how was she going to get taken care of? He then thought of something but when he did he thought that was impossible.

Wasn't it?

She desperately searched for Holden as fast as she could. She used her echo vision everywhere she went so she wouldn't miss anything and as she did she was also looking for tracks, blood, hair, anything that could tell her if there was anything in the area, or for that matter Holden. So far she found nothing that could trace down Holden and where he was now. Kassidy tried not to panic and tried to remain calm as she continued to search and call for Holden and she knew it was a stupid idea to call out for Holden but she couldn't help herself.

Kassidy was also worried that she made a mistake of leaving Shade and Marina behind for them to hide while she went to search. All she wanted to do was protect them but she feared that telling them to go hide was a bad call. She thought that maybe she should've taken them with her. She shook her head and she knew that what's done is done. All Kassidy could do right now was find Holden.

As she continued to call for Holden she hoped that she would be able to find him somehow, if she didn't what then? However, she wasn't intending on giving up on Holden. He was not only someone she was tutoring but she was also his friend and friends had their backs.

"Looking for someone?"

At the feminine voice Kassidy heard, she immediately stopped in her tracks before she could even take off from the ground and she thought she was hearing things but something inside her told her to look. She slowly turned to look and when she looked she gasped. Standing on a tree branch crazily smiling at her with those emerald-like eyes was Dianna. Kassidy was even more shocked when she saw that Dianna had Holden in a headlock and she was covering his mouth with her other hand. Holden's shouts towards Kassidy was muffled as he looked scared for his life. He looked like he was also trying to fight back but he was struggling with that.

"Holden," Kassidy shouted and she then looked at Dianna angrily but confused at the same time. "Let him go right now or I'm going to break your nails and shove them down your throat!"

At that, Dianna then started to chuckle darkly. "I'm afraid that's not going to happen, redhead."

"How'd you even escape anyway?"

"Why don't you ask him?"

"Wha-" before Kassidy could finish she yelped when she felt someone trip her.

She groaned from the impact to the ground but she then looked up and when she did she saw no one. Kassidy furrowed her brow confused but then a figure materialized before her. When Kassidy saw who it was she was shocked because he was supposed to be dead.

Kassidy forgot how to breathe at the moment as she was staring into those snake eyes of the bat wizard that was going to kill the colony and her friends along with those other three giant bats. He looked tall and strong as he always did and he looked as if nothing happened to him. Nothing was singed on him and no wounds could be seen. He looked to be in perfect condition.

There were no words to describe how she was feeling at this moment. It was like he came back from the dead to have his revenge on her by haunting her everywhere she went. It didn't feel real that the bat that was supposed to be dead was now staring at her with a menacing smile plastered on his face.

"Martin?" Kassidy said bewildered.

"Hello, orphan," Martin said and this sent chills down Kassidy's spine just hearing him again. "We meet again."

She slowly shook her head not wanting to believe this. "No… you're dead…" She then pointed at him. "I electrocuted you back at the towers of fire… You're dead…"

Martin started to cackle at Kassidy's puzzlement. "No, I'm pretty much alive."

"H-How is this possible…?"

Martin crossed his arms as he continued to smile that menacing smile at her. "I have my ways, orphan, although, this reunion is not yet complete without your other two friends and the brothers."

Kassidy knew that the four of them should've stuck together but how different would have that went? She then snarled at Martin. "What did you have them do with my friends?!"

Martin started to tsk. "I see you're still having problems with your anger issues, but I'm not surprised." He then got closer to Kassidy. "As for your other friends they'll be in good hands."

She stood up more angrily. "If you had them hurt them I'm going to kill you!" Kassidy tried to swing a punch a Martin but when she did Martin disappeared as he flicked his wrist and all she swung at was air.

Her eyes widened but they widened even more when she heard Martin chuckling. "Oh, really?" Kassidy heard Martin's voice but she didn't know where he was because he was moving around so he could get her confused and it was pretty much working. "You're going to kill me, huh? Well then, you're going to have to be fast to try and do that and have fun trying to find me. You were only lucky you beat me but this time you have no chance against me."

Kassidy got in her stance as she got the details she needed to summon fire in her hands and as she did the fire formed in her hands. If she had to she was going to burn this wizard to Hell. She kept her eyes and ears open as she was prepared for what else Martin had to offer. He was more experienced than her in magic, yes. But she had to try and be smarter than him.

Trying to find where Martin was so Kassidy could fight him was very hard for her because everywhere her eyes looked to where Martin could've been she heard him taunting her some other place and this was frustrating her. Martin chuckled at some points as he remained invisible and Kassidy hadn't even shot fire in a direction because she didn't want to set the forest on fire and she would only do that when she had Martin in her sight. Martin even managed to get a few blows to her on some parts of her body and they managed to be very hard and painful and Kassidy could feel more fire forming on her body as she was getting angrier. She tried to throw punches with fire in her hands in directions in which she thought she could hear Martin but she only was hitting air and this made Martin laugh whenever she missed him.

Not knowing it, Goth and Throbb had arrived and they were carrying Shade and Marina tightly in their claws feet as Kassidy was still trying to find Martin so she could fight him. But then she felt her jaw get pummeled, then on her other side of the face she felt her cheek get pummeled as well, and then she felt an uppercut and she yelled in pain as she then hit the ground hard. Her bottom lip was busted open and it was now bleeding and blood was coming down her chin as she groaned in pain. She thought she could hear her friends shouting her name but she was only focused on trying to fight Martin.

Kassidy then started to hear someone walk up to her and she had her back to who it was and she had a feeling that it was Martin. She pretended that she was too weak to do anything-even as she was now feeling pain on parts of her body-just so she could try and trick him. When she started to hear him come close she turned quickly and tried to swing a punch but at that, she felt a hand stop her punch and the fingers started to tighten around her punch. Without knowing it, she then felt a punch to the face again, and then she felt herself being lifted off the ground, and before she could do anything else she was thrown towards a tree and she screamed as the fire on her demolished. Her abdomen then collided against the tree and when it did, Kassidy felt the wind knock out of her as she then crashed to the ground.

She tried to take in gulps of air as she was trying to regain herself, but at this point, she felt very weak. Kassidy could barely move and she could only try to take in as much air as she could. She couldn't believe what was happening and she couldn't even get a swing at Martin.

As Kassidy was trying to regain herself, Martin materialized before her and she looked at him with hatred. "You should feel stupid that you could even try to take me on again. Admit it, orphan, you lost."

Kassidy tried to get up and try and tackle Martin but he then kicked her straight to the mouth and blood-spattered to the ground. She spat out the blood that was pouring more down her face and her face started to throb. She then felt Martin turn her onto her back and they were now staring at each other. Martin's foot was then on her chest and Kassidy felt like he was trying to crush it like it was an orange.

Martin then looked closer at Kassidy and then he punched her to the face again. "I think it's time for me to give you your gift."

She felt too weak to look up at Martin as she was trying to regain herself but she then heard him use some sort of magic. Kassidy then heard Martin speak in some sort of language in a whisper and then she felt something slither her up her arm. It felt scaly, cold, and smooth. As she looked to see what it was she saw on her very winged arm was a golden looking snake with deep red looking eyes that looked like gems and her eyes widened in shock as she could hear it hiss.

Before she could do anything, the snake opened its mouth and very sharp looking teeth could be seen and then it drove its teeth into her forearm and when it did, Kassidy could feel a sharp sting and she wanted to scream in pain but she didn't want to give Martin that satisfaction and so she buried her face in her other arm and she made very low and painful noises. The stinging only intensified and as she started to lift her face from her arm and she started to notice that her surroundings were starting to blur and she thought she could hear voices but she couldn't make them out as her hearing was starting to sound audible. She tried to keep conscious but she felt too weak that she couldn't fight back what this snake was doing to her and she couldn't breathe like she was in a box with no holes. She started to lift her shaky arm to where she thought she could see the snake so she could try and rip it off but her arm felt like a noodle and it did her no good.

It felt as if she was dying. Kassidy didn't want to die she just couldn't. She wasn't ready for death. However, the weakness intensified and she could barely do anything except look up at the night sky. The stars in the sky looked beautiful, even in her blurry state and as she continued to stare at those beautiful stars her vision started to grow darker as the voices around her became nothing more than silence. She may have felt weak and pain but she at least could continue to stare at something beautiful to think about in the state she was in.

Then at that, everything blacked out.

A/N- I know I said I'd try to write in a lot of words for my chapters but this is kind of how I wanted this chapter to go and I figured it be a good place to end this chapter. I was going to write the conversation Ursa and Brutus had in the show but then I decided I'm going to write a whole chapter about Quacey, Ursa, and the other beasts all in one chapter and when that chapter comes you'll know why I did that. Later!
