Hello everybody! Well I really hope that you liked the last chapter, I think it was very, very long and I hope to do the same with this chapter and the many more to come! Well then here its goes! Oh and this chapter is based about 3 weeks from the last one, and only Rex and James know about Jinja and Sealy's relationship.
*Run, run, run* was all that went through the female foxes head as she sped through the underground. She heard the hurrying footsteps of her pursuers behind her, *Just keep running, remember the key is to breathe* thought the vixen as she continued on. She heard the dog that was tracking her bark, this time it seemed closer.
*Don't focus on that, focus on whats in front of you!* she thought feeling her speed gain, she glanced sideways and saw a ginger piece of cloth tied to a tree, YES! This was the furthest she had gotten without being caught, *Remember don't get overly excited* she thought to herself sternly. finally she reached an old fence, running underneath of it she came to a flock of sheep. She stopped. *Time for a change of appearance* she thought changing into a sheep.
Not far away
James suddenly came to a stop. The others stopping behind him. They had lost her, "Damn" he cursed. about two weeks ago they had come up with a training excise to practise their powers control, speed and agility. This time it was Jinja's turn. They had been chasing her for about one hour and had just lost her trail.
"We lost her didn't we?" sighed Chase. James nodded.
"Bruno's having trouble finding her scent again" said Rex who was standing next to the small dog. Bruno had his nose to the ground and was sniffing like mad.
"She can't have gotten far" said Beyal. Dax raised his hand to silence them. "Dax?" said Beyal.
"The way I hunt rabbits is to stay silent and listen, use your senses, manly your ears and eyes" said Dax looking around the area. Everyone did the same. After about a minutes silence Bruno started growling, while looking at a bush. "Hey Little Suno" whispered Dax.
"What?" whispered back Chase.
"Last we saw princess she was a fox right?"
"Yeah?"
"Well looks like Bruno just found her" No sooner had Dax said that, a fox took off from the bush Bruno was growling at.
"There she is!" Yelled Bren running after her with the others. James who was up front again gave everyone some tips.
"Ok guys remember, keep a steady breathing pattern! Always keep your eyes on her and if you can't see her anymore then like Dax said use your senses" Just as he said that, Jinja went out of sight. But Bruno was still on her trail.
"Or just have a tracking dog" said Bren smiling.
As they continued along their way they finally came to a paddock of sheep. "Damn, please don't tell me she went in there?" sighed Chase.
"I bet you she did" chuckled Rex. Sealy smiled.
"She's some girl isn't she" he laughed. Chase looked at Sealy in surprise and confusion before shaking his head and quickly making a plan up.
"Ok guys surround the flock, Sealy use Bruno to find her in there" said Chase. Sealy smiled.
"My pleasure" he said.
Soon everyone had circled the confused flock of sheep Sealy smiled and picked up Bruno walking towards the flock and then throwing him into the middle of the flock. All you could hear was the sounds of barking and the sacred ba's of sheep. Then a long howl.
"He's got her scatter the sheep!" Yelled Sealy. James quickly created lightning that scared off the sheep and only left one ewe. Bruno sitting in front of it.
"Jinja" said Sealy grinning. The ewe changed back to Jinja. "We found you". Sealy had expected Jinja to give up but instead she just smirked. "Whats so funny then Jinja we have you surrounded there's nowhere left for you to go".
Jinja smiled, "You sure about that?" she asked. Chase and the others looked confused. Sealy quickly ran everything through his head.
*Bren Beyal have the right, I have underneath and in front, Chase and Dax had the left and James have behind that only leaves... above!*, "James ABOVE!" Yelled Sealy. James quickly took off into the air on the wind only to leave behind open. "Damn!" Yelled Sealy realising they had been tricked and before he could react Jinja turned into a cheetah and raced of as fast as she could.
"Oh no this is going to be a long, long day isn't it" sighed Bren.
Around about 6.00pm
After about 5 more long hours of chasing Jinja, they had taken her down. But it took all of them to pin her (She had turned into a Rhino). Right now they where all sitting inside the cave eating pot roast.
"I think it's time we moved on..." Chase said. There was no reply everybody was to busy eating Dax's pot roast. "Um guys I think it's time we moved on!" said Chase again. Jinja looked up at him.
"I think your right Chase" she said, "Theres really nothing for us here and sooner rather then later that Clint guy and his friend are going to catch on to our trail" said Jinja before finishing her pot roast.
"Yeah good plan little suno only problem is we don't have any idea of where to go!" said Dax. Chase looked at the ground.
"Kind of forgot that part..." he said.
"I know where to go!" said Rex suddenly clicking his fingers.
"Don't keep as all waiting you knuckle head" said Sealy with a smirk. Rex grinned.
"Apolo Town! Not that far from here really, only about half a day of walking and then you get there!" he said really excitedly.
"How do you know all this?" said Bren with a confused and wonderous face. Rex smiled and ruffled Bren's hair.
"Little boys shouldn't ask questions like that" he said smiling. Bren frowned and pushed Rex's hand off his head.
"I'm not a little boy" he mumbled.
Chase looked at Rex with a strange look but didn't say anything. After about a minute he finally spoke up. "Time to get some sleep, we can talk about this stuff in the morning" he said rolling over onto his side.
Rex shrugged and lay down next to Sealy and James before falling asleep.
Maybe about 50 minutes later
Jinja was woken roughly by shaking hands. "Wha?" she mumbled trying to brush the hands off her face, "Mum... 10 more minutes" she sighed.
"Hey Princess I'm not your mum" said a amused voice. Jinja sat up with a red face in embarrassment. But she quickly covered it up with a angered face.
"What the crag Dax!" she shouted, Dax quickly covered her mouth with his hand.
"Keep it down princess we're haven a meeting outside with Suno, Monkfish and Glasses!" he whispered. Jinja sighed and stood up picking up Bruno and walked outside with Dax.
"Chase Suno this better be good" she said stubbornly when Chase came into sight sitting on a rock surrounded by Beyal and Bren. "It's damn freezing so if this is some stupid thing about puppies or bunnies I'll kill you my self!" she snapped.
Chase gulped before starting, "I wanna know what we all think of these guys" He said, "You know, I really just wanna check what we like and dislike about them". Beyal started.
"I think of James as the wisest member out of the three of them, his only problem is that he dislikes the way I question everything, Rex is quiet aggressive, always charges into things that is the good and bad side of him and Sealy well... he is nice enough but... I feel that he has some kind of attachment that is right under our noses" he said. Jinja tried to hide her blush, she knew what attachment that was. And that really what they all thought of all of them but the trouble was that Beyal was saying the nicest stuff about them out of all the guys.
When it was Jinja's turn she spoke from her heart, "James is really nice, he's like a big brother I don't see anything I can fault in him. Rex is really friendly and always makes me laugh he's really caring and NOT overly protective and well Sealy... I think he's really nice and smart and cool and nice" sighed Jinja with a smile.
Dax, Bren, Beyal and Chase looked at the girl who was kind of in a day dream in wonder, Chase finally broke the silence, "Um we best be off to bed" he said standing up and walking back to the cave with Dax and Bren. Beyal waited for Jinja.
"Jinja?" he said.
"Yes Beyal?" said Jinja.
"You said Nice twice"
Well, well, well there you have it chapter 8 finished! Please review everyone! :) LOVE YOU ALL!
