Chapter 8

"What is it?" Iggy whispered.

I looked from where the noise had come from and spotted a tiny rabbit hopping around, awkwardly. "it's just a small, hurt bunny. C'mon, let's go check it out," I said walking towards the rabbit, pulling Iggy with me.

I stopped when we got close enough to touch it. It looked like it wanted to run away when he saw us, but on closer observations I could see that it couldn't because he had broken one of his hind legs.

"What's wrong with him…or her?" Iggy asked kneeling down beside me.

"He broke his back leg," I told him setting the scared animal into my lap.

"Well, what do we do?"

"Why are you asking me? I don't know," I said observing the rabbit's hurt leg.

"If you don't know, and I don't know, then maybe we should just go back to the clearing and see if Max or some one knows what to do," Iggy offered.

I cradled the rabbit in one arm and stood up, brushing dirt off with my free hand. "Sounds good. Let's go," I said pulling Iggy up by his arm.

When got back to the clearing, there was no sign of the flock anywhere, so me and Iggy just flew back to the house with me carrying the injured, scared bunny. He looked so cute with his big, scared, brown eyes and soft, fluffy, brown speckled fur; I wished Iggy could see him. We landed on the back porch and, this time, I wasn't so klutzy. Iggy slid open the glass door and we walked into the messy kitchen. Max's voice greeted us as she shouted at Fang in the living room, but when I stepped in the room carrying a terrified little forest animal, the shouting ceased.

"What's that?" Fang asked as he walked over to me.

"It's a bunny. Duh," Nudge said trotting into the living room. She went over to me and starting petting the rabbit. "And it back leg is hurt."

Max ran over and took the animal out of my arms. "Here, let's just put it down over here, and see if Angel can help," she said putting the bunny down on the table.

"Someone need animal help?" Angel asked walking in with a first aid kit.

We all pointed at the rabbit lying on the table and Angel kneeled by it and set her first aid kit on the table by the rabbit. She opened it up and started pulling out bandages. Gazzy came in and got really excited that "we had a pet bunny". Max told him she wasn't sure that we could keep it, but she would think about it. Nudge and Gazzy cheered and we all surrounded the table and watched as Angel bandaged up the rabbit's hurt leg. When she finished, she set him down on the floor and told us he would need a week to heal completely. As the younger kids played with the bunny, who had warmed up to us and wasn't as scared, Max and Fang cuddled up on the couch and watched them while Iggy and I snuck into my room, closing the door behind us
