Hazel, Larch, and Bigwig had finally made it back to the Down. It was still nighttime, so there was still some time to sleep before Frith would rise again.

"Well, it still seems to be night, so I am off to bed." Bigwig yawned as he made his way down to the Honeycomb.

"He's right. Sleep sounds wonderful." Larch agreed. He started to walk after Bigwig, but soon stopped, noticing that Hazel wasn't following him.

Hazel just stood there, staring off in the direction of Fiver and Molly. He looked a little worried.

"Hazel, is something the matter?" Larch asked, seeing that his leader was a little distracted by something. Most likely it had something to do with his little brother.

"Are you sure it was safe to leave those two alone?" Hazel asked.

"What if the Efrafans find them? Or…an elil could kill and eat them!"

"They will be fine, Hazel. There's no need to worry." Larch reassured him.

"Don't you trust them? Plus, you need your sleep as well."

Hazel just sighed. He knew that Larch was right, and he couldn't just sit out there in the cold and dark night. Plus, it was true, he was a little tired.

"Alright, I will go to bed in a minute, mom." Hazel joked.

In return, Larch stuck his tongue out at him. Then he disappeared into the Down, leaving Hazel all alone.

Hazel still sat there, staring off for a couple more minutes, before he finally decided to go to his burrow and sleep.

As night continued, most of the Watership Down rabbits were asleep. Except for Hazel. He was having trouble staying asleep. It seemed that he was having a terrible nightmare.

Somehow he was now in Efrafa…but before Hazel could really do anything, he was forced to start running, as he was being pursued by Vervain and his soldiers.

He turned a corner and nearly fell off a ledge, but caught himself just in time. Now he was outside, and he was standing dangerously close to that cliff's edge.

"Great, now where am I?" Hazel thought as he looked down to see a flowing river.

"There he is! Grab him!" Vervain shouted. Turns out that whatever had put Hazel here had done the same for his pursuers.

Hazel was forced to keep running. He ran along the cliff's edge, but soon lost his footing, falling into the water below. He found himself back in Efrafa, but now he was surrounded by the soldiers.

Woundwort was smiling. He was sitting up on his own high rock, looking down at his new captive.

"Ah, Hazel. How lovely for you to join me!" Woundwort told him with a smile.

"Join you for what?!" Hazel shouted. But his question was soon answered. To his horror, Fiver and Molly were impaled to the wall by large, old, and yet, sharp spear-like sticks.

Fiver was moaning as blood slowly poured out of his newly open wounds.

"Why, for the death of your brother!" Woundwort laughed.

Hazel looked back over to his brother, and to his shock there was now a man standing with the evil rabbits. The man had a thunderstick pointed at his brother. Before Hazel could do anything, there was a loud bang, and everything went black.

He found himself screaming, scaring Primrose and the kittens. Soon Larch, Bigwig, and Holly were in his burrow, all worried that something had happened to him.

Hazel was panting hard as sweat trickled down his whole body. But he soon found comfort as his friends began to crowd around him.

"Hazel, what's wrong? Why did you scream?!" Primrose asked, worried for her mate.

"You scared us all awake!"

"I am sorry. I just had a terrible nightmare." Hazel explained to her as he tried to calm down.

"It must have been a really terrible nightmare, then." Bigwig told him.

"Yes, it was!" He replied. He soon started to shake a little with fear, but soon that fear disappeared as his mate held him, with his kittens sitting around him.

"Well, what happened?" Larch asked as he sat down next to him and helped with the comforting.

"Well, first off, I was running through Efrafa away from Vervain. Then for some reason, I turned a corner, then it turned into a cliff, I lost my footing, and fell down into it." Hazel explained to them.

"Well, no wonder you woke up screaming!" Holly exclaimed.

"No, that wasn't the reason." Hazel replied. Then he soon took a deep breath and started the story again.

"Then, somehow, I was back in Efrafa again. But this time, I was captured and Woundwort was there…but that wasn't the most horrifying part! The horrible part was that Fiver and Molly were impaled to the wall slowly dying, and then they were shot and killed!"

Hazel shut his eyes tight, trying not to remember that awful nightmare.

"That's awful. But you don't have to worry about it, Hazel. I am sure they are alright." Bigwig reassured him.

"Here, just to make sure, we will go get them!"

"Thank you, Bigwig. I am just so worried for the both of them." Hazel replied, as Primrose started to rock him back and forth like a little kitten.

With that said, Bigwig, Larch, and Holly left to go find the two little rabbits, for Hazel's sake. But it didn't take that long to find them. Turns out they were already back home, and the two groups collided in a giant heap right outside Hazel's burrow.

"Ow! That hurt!" Fiver stated, since he was at the bottom of the heap with Molly.

Hazel soon rushed out of his mate's arms. He ran over, yanked Fiver out from under the entangled group, and gave him a nice big hug.

"Well good to see you too, Hazel, but can I breathe now?" Fiver pleaded as he tried to grasp some air.

Hazel let go before he accidentally suffocated his little brother.

"Well, I am glad that you missed me, but I was only gone maybe an hour!" Fiver told him.

"I am sorry, but I worry sometimes." Hazel replied. Lucky for him, Fiver accepted the apology.

Once Fiver had gotten done with his little reunion, he helped his mate back to her feet and with the problem solved, everyone was heading back to bed.

"Wait, Fiver. You are going to sleep with me." Hazel told him.

"Alright, I guess. Can Molly sleep with us as well?" Fiver asked. Since they had just started to become true lovers, he wasn't very keen on leaving her.

"Yeah, sure. Come on." Hazel replied, giving Molly a nice smile. In return, she did the same.

"Thanks!" Fiver replied to him as the two moved into a small corner, trying not to take up too much room. Hazel was still worried for his brother, so he lay in front of the two, wrapping his body around them just for extra care, although Fiver and Molly really didn't mind.

Soon the small family had fallen fast asleep, especially Hazel. In the morning, he would tell Fiver about his nightmare.

Frith had started to rise over the hill. Fiver and Molly were the first ones to wake from their sleep, and so they decided to head outside to have some fun.

They left Hazel. Knowing what happened last night, they thought it was just best to do so. When he was well rested, he could join them in some fun.

They soon figured out that Bigwig was having his usual training exercise with Hawkbit, Dandelion, Strawberry, and Pipkin, but they just went on their way and stayed near the tree, while eating some of the grass and watched their funny routine.

As the two watched, Dandelion and Strawberry were starting to make funny faces behind their captain's back. It was becoming harder and harder not to laugh, but they didn't want to get the two pranksters in trouble.

Soon Larch had decided to come and joined the two little lovers in some nice weather and delicious grass.

"So, you guys never came back to the burrow." Larch told them, breaking the nice silence.

"Sorry about that, Hazel wanted us to sleep with him." Fiver answered as he bit down on another piece of grass and started to eat it.

"That's right, because of the nightmare he had!" Larch replied, also remembering how loud he could scream, now that was impressive. But this put a confused look on Fiver and Molly's faces as they turned and looked at each other, and then back at Larch.

"What nightmare?" Molly asked.

"What, you mean he didn't tell you yet?" He replied.

"He looked really tired, so we thought it was best not to wake him. What was the dream about anyway?"

"Oh, well, it was just about…umm…his kitten, being stolen by Efrafa. That's all." Larch lied to them.

"Well, I hope he is alright." Fiver told him as looked down the main entrance, worried for his older brother.

"I wouldn't dwell on it." Molly reassured him. Then she leaned in and gave him a nice kiss.

Larch felt a little uncomfortable, so he tried to look away as the two lovers kissed each other for just a little bit longer.

Larch soon stopped their kissing by asking a personal question.

"So did you guys... ummm... you know?" Larch asked. He began to rub his neck, trying not to sound like a pervert.

Molly just giggled a little, but, lucky for Larch, Fiver did answer the question.

"Yes. I am now going to be a father!" Fiver said excitedly, as he grabbed Molly and pulled her closer to him.

"Well, I am happy for both of you, and I am sure that Hazel is going to be very proud." He told them, then joined in their hug.

Their little moment of silence was now broken by a loud "Ow" sound from Hawkbit. Turns out that his training exercise wasn't going according to plan. He had lost his balance and fallen to the ground. Now he was pinned under a very large Bigwig.

"Alright, alright, I get it, Bigwig! Now can you please get off me?" Hawkbit begged his captain, as he tried to force his way back on to his feet.

"I have told you before, Hawkbit. Always keep your balance!" Bigwig shouted.

"What are they doing over there?" Molly asked, a little confused on why they were fighting with each other if they were friends.

"They're training to fight against Efrafa." Larch replied, as they continued to watch Bigwig bring down the hammer on the Owsla.

Bigwig was now in standing in front his so-called army, which was not really an army, since it only consisted of Hawkbit, Strawberry, and Dandelion. Pipkin was part of the regular training exercises, but he was much too young to help fight against Efrafans.

"Come on guys! Mess ups like that will get you killed out there!" Bigwig shouted. Then he continued on with his lecture.

"Hey, Fiver, Molly, follow me. I want to show how you really train an army." Larch bragged as he walked over to the small group, which was taking a beating from Bigwig's lectures.

"As for another thing..." Bigwig stopped yelling, seeing that Molly, Fiver, and Larch were heading over this way, and since the words he was using weren't the most polite thing to say around the smaller rabbits.

"Hello, you guys." Molly was the first to greeted Watership Down's so called "army".

"Hello, Molly. So is it true?" Dandelion asked.

"What's true?" The little doe replied, cocking her head.

"That you and Fiver going to have kittens soon!" Pipkin said with excitement.

"Oh, yes. Yes, we are." Molly told them as she put a paw on her stomach, indicating that she was pregnant.

"Well, good for you, guys." Bigwig congratulated them with a little smile, which was rare since he normally never smiles, since he is always serious about everything.

"If you don't mind me asking, was there some reason you guys came over?"

"Well, Larch wanted to ask if he could help you with your training." Fiver answered him.

"No, I think I've got it…but maybe you can help me, Fiver." Bigwig replied, shocking the members of the Owsla and the little seer as well, since he really wasn't a fighter of any sort. He knew some moves to defend himself, but that was it.

"Me? How can I help you? I am not a fighter." He protested.

It was true. The only time he could ever really fight someone was when his friends' or family's life depended on it. But he never liked showing those skills, since they could easily kill someone.

"Fiver, I know you are a fighter! I have seen what you can do, and it could easily turn the tide of a battle."

"No, Bigwig, I won't show you. They are far too dangerous!" He finished.

Bigwig sighed. He knew he couldn't get them this way, and if he tried to force Fiver, then he would have to meet up with Hazel…and that wasn't going to be fun.

"Um, Bigwig…this is Fiver you are talking about. The buck that can't even beat me." Hawkbit told him, actually making fun of the seer. But then he realized he had just made fun of himself as well.

"Hey, he could beat you over and over again!" Molly yelled at Hawkbit, trying to defend Fiver.

As Molly continued on with defending Fiver, the seer was in fact trying to get away before the situation got out of control. But it failed when he felt a pair of claws grab him by the scruff of the neck and pull him back to the group.

"If you think you are so tough, then why don't you fight Bigwig over here?" Hawkbit told Molly, as he pointed in Bigwig direction.

"Hey, this your fight Hawk..." Bigwig was interrupted by Molly's sudden outburst.

"Fine, then, I will! Come on, Bigwig! I will kick your butt next, Hawkbit!"

Hawkbit wasn't worried. He knew there was no way Bigwig would lose to a little doe like Molly…but then again, Bigwig really didn't have a chance to back down, since now before him was Molly in a fighting stance. If anything, why would he even want to fight a doe?

"Please, Bigwig, don't hurt her, especially the stomach area!" Fiver pleaded to the Owsla

captain. In return, Bigwig just nodded.

The group of rabbits gathered around the two fighters. Hawkbit was cheering Bigwig on, while Larch was giving Molly some little tips about fighting. But she really didn't need them… And, of course, Fiver ran to get Blackberry and Hazel just in case the fight got out of hand.

Once the fight was underway, Larch snuck over to Hawkbit to keep an eye on the trickster, since he was known to cheat at most things, and he already had a bad history with Molly.

Bigwig saw that Molly had turned her head to watch what Larch was doing, so he decided to take the advantage. With that, he charged at Molly, aiming more at her head and legs to try and knock her balance off, and keeping as far away from her stomach as possible, like he promised to Fiver.

Molly knew he was coming, but instead of getting ready, she just waited until he was clearly going to hit her. As soon as Bigwig shot his right paw out to catch her under her leg, she immediately jumped in the air. Then, as Bigwig looked up with wide eyes, she came down with full force, smashing into Bigwig, and pinning him down.

For such a small little doe, she knew how to fight very well.

Everyone stared in shock to see this. A little doe had taken down their captain of Owsla in one move. Even Hazel, Fiver, and Blackberry saw and were shocked at what had happened.

"Impossible, impossible! Go again!" Hawkbit shouted, starting to get scared that he might be forced to go up against Molly.

So the two faced each other in a ready stance, while Larch, Hazel, Blackberry, and especially, Fiver of course, cheered for the little doe.

"Alright, Molly, now you are going down. I was just going easy on you!" Bigwig roared, seeing that she was making a fool out of him.

This time, Bigwig waited, and Molly charged full force. Of course, he soon used his right paw again to try and get her to the ground, thus pinning her down with his front paws. But to his shock, she actually grabbed onto his swiping paw. Then, as she ran past, she shot her back legs up, sending herself flying upside down into the air with the captain, and then smashed him down into the hard dirt as she gently landed on her paws, declaring herself the winner.

Blackberry was a little concerned for that type of damage, but when she went to help Bigwig he was alright. In fact, other than just a sore neck he was fine…but his pride wasn't.

Fiver and Larch had already begun to congratulate Molly on her new victory. Everyone was shocked that such a small and even pregnant doe could beat Bigwig like that, especially Hawkbit, who was very afraid now.

Once Bigwig was up and ready to move, he went over to Molly and her friends to ask her something very important.

"You truly are a great fighter, Molly. I would be honored for you join my Owsla!" Bigwig told her, seeing that learning those types of moves could easily destroy Woundwort.

Molly was speechless. She was now the very first doe in the Watership Down Owsla.

"Molly, where did you learn those moves? If you don't mind my questioning?"

"I'm not even sure. It just felt like I knew what to do!" she answered.

She was far too young to remember anything about her mother, but it seems that she had inherited all of the fighting skills from her.

"So, Hawkbit, I won. A deal is a deal. Come, fight me!" Molly demanded. But of course, that sly rabbit had different plans.

"I can't fight you. You're a doe and I wouldn't want to hurt you." He replied, as he started to leave.

"Oh, no, you don't!" Bigwig told him and grabbed him by an ear, pulled him back towards Molly and the group.

"You aren't going anywhere, my son. You took the challenge. Now you do it!"

"No. She is a doe and I would easily hurt her, since she is so weak!" He told him, trying to escape from the fight. But this time, he didn't get a chance to leave, seeing that his path was blocked by a very upset Bigwig and Larch.

This angered Molly, but before she had the chance to do something she might really regret, Fiver stepped in. He had grown tired of Hawkbit, his jokes, and how he mocked his mate.

Fiver pushed his way in front of Bigwig, confusing Hawkbit.

"Well, if you want to fight me instead of your weak and pat…" Hawkbit's words were cut off when he unexpectedly got a nice punch in the face, knocking him to the ground. Soon he looked up, and as he held his jaw, he saw that Fiver was the one who had delivered the blow.

"I am tired of you insulting my mate. Now you will fight me!" He said angrily, as he gritted his teeth and got into a fighting stance, waiting for Hawkbit to respond.

"Fiver are you sure ab..." Molly was cut off by Hawkbit before she could do anything to pull her mate out of this.

"Fine, you little runt. You want some, I will give you some!" He shouted. Then, surprisingly, he charged at the little seer.

Of course, Hazel and others immediately tried to jump in and help defend Fiver. But he waved them off, showing that he wasn't that worried about this little fight for some reason.

When Hawkbit was close enough, he lunged at Fiver. But the little seer completely ducked under Hawkbit's body, and shot three of his small claws into the fighter, leaving three long scratches from his neck to his stomach.

"Hazel, did you see what he just did?" Larch hissed to the red rabbit. Hazel just ignored him and continued to watch the fight between his brother and Hawkbit.

As soon as Hawkbit landed, he checked his wounds. They weren't that deep, but they still stung a little, and this just fueled his rage at the little seer.

"Alright, you wanna play like that? Fine!" Hawkbit growled, then started to run again at Fiver, baring his teeth as he went.

Hawkbit tried to lung again, but this time at an angle, pointing downwards. But as soon as it looked like Hawkbit was going to make contact, Fiver dived forward, then jumped like Molly had done before, taking his hind legs and kicked the Hawkbit's back, sending him head first into the ground, sliding in the dirt.

Everyone stood in shock. First Molly had beaten Bigwig in a battle, and now Fiver was beating Hawkbit, who was a lot bigger and strong then the little rabbit.

Once Fiver was back on the ground, he looked over to see that Hawkbit wasn't moving. Of course, because of his good nature, he worried that he might have really hurt him. He went over to go and check up on him, but as soon as he got close enough Hawkbit struck. He swiped his claws right across Fiver's face, leaving three deep, deep scratches.

The others, especially Hazel, were about to jump in and stop this, but Fiver kept going, even with his new wounds. Hawkbit was now up again, with newly blood stained paws. Everyone could see that he looked ready to kill the little seer. It was like he had gone crazy.

This time, both of the rabbits charged full force at each other. But just before they collided, Fiver slid down between Hawkbit's legs, grabbed him by his chest fur and immediately pulled him to the ground. Then, once Fiver was back up on his feet, he swung around one of his knees, aiming towards Hawkbit's vulnerable neck. Just before he struck, he stopped and let go of the scared buck.

"I told you, Hawkbit. My moves can kill...easily!" Fiver told him coldly. Then he turned and walked back over to his friends. Most of them were shocked that such a little rabbit could do such damage to another. But of course, Hazel was just proud of his brother, since it looked like he had learned to control his fighting capabilities.

"Fiver, I... I..." Larch was speechless. He really didn't know what he had just witnessed.

"Alright, come on. Let me get that checked out for you, Fiver." Blackberry told him. She didn't want that wound getting infected, and soon led him away with Larch and Molly.

"We will be down in a second, Fiver." Hazel replied as he and Bigwig headed over to Hawkbit, who was still laying on the ground, thinking over what had just happened.

"Alright, Hawkbit, come along. You've still got digging to do!" Bigwig demanded with a smirk.

"This is so messed up! Didn't you see what he did to me?" Hawkbit screamed, showing off his injuries.

"Yes, and I saw you attack him as well. Let me remind you that next time you do something like that, I won't let you off so easily!" Hazel hissed at him, and then left to go see how his little brother was doing, and to tell him about the nightmare he had last night.

Bigwig stayed and tended to Hawkbit, watching him as he left to go find some place to start digging, grumbling all the way.
