Hazel and Fiver made their way to a Large Threar tree where the chief Rabbit made his home and stopped outside where two Owsal bucks stood Guard, One was Grey and the Other had the Lion Mane on his Head, These were Holly Captain of Owsla and Bigwig named after the Lion mane he had.
"Hazel?" Asked Bigwig. "It is Hazel Isn't it?"
"It is, Bigwig." Said Hazel.
"What do you want?"
"We want to see the Threarah." Replied Hazel.
"We? You mean he wants to see him too?" Asked Bigwig.
"Yes." Said Hazel.
"I must." Added Fiver.
Captain Holly Took notice.
"Bigwig." He Called. "What do they want?"
"They want to see the Threarah." Replied Bigwig.
"Send them away, He's busy." Replied Holly.
"I'll take care of it Holly." Said Bigwig.
"Look Bigwig, When have I ever wanted to see the Threarah before? We wouldn't ask if it weren't important."
Bigwig Considered. "Alright, Wait here, I'll tell him you want to see him, And Probably get my Head Bitten off for it."
He Hopped down a small hole at the base of the tree, Hazel nd Fiver could her faint voices talking.
"... I told you I wanted to be left alone Bigwig…"
"... Which outskiters are they?..."
Bigwigs head suddenly popped out. "C'mon, He'll see you know."
The two Brothers followed him down into the Hole and stood in front of the Threahrah, A large, Fat, Old Grey Rabbit,Who was chewing Lettuce when they came in.
"Hmm, Walnut is it?" He asked Looking up.
"It's Hazel sir." Hazel Corrected.
"Ah, Hazel, I knew your mother well, And your friend?"
"My Brother Sir, Fiver."
"Fiver? Isn't his name Hraro?"
"It is, But He goes by His Nickname, Fiver."
"Why's that?"
"I was the Smallest of our Litter sir." Said Fiver.
"I see, Now do tell me how I can help you."
"Well." Said Hazel. "My brother says there's a bad danger coming."
"A bad Danger? What sort of Danger?"
"I don't know, But It's bad, It's really bad."
"Really bad? Well what are we to do?"
"Go away! All of us, Now! Tonight if we can."
"Goodness me, All of us? Tonight? In may? The mating season? Sandalfords our home, where would we go?"
"Well, He's had these visions before, And he's bean right Again and Again, Like the Flood from last autumn.
"Well, I shall have to consider this with great thought, And Perhaps we'll discuss this again in the Summer."
"We can't wait!" Cried Fiver. "I can feel the Danger like a wire around my Neck! You have to- To TO!" Fiver was starting to Hyperventilate.
"Fiver!" Said Hazel.
"Goodness, Hazel, I think you're brother could do with some fresh air, Take him outside why don't you?" The Threarah said, With a hint of Concern.
"Yes, Sir." Said Hazel, He got fiver to his Feet and escorted him out of the burrow, Bigwig almost followed.
"BIGWIG!"
"Yes sir?"
"What was that all about?"
"Well sir you said-"
"I know what I said! That's not important, You'r duty is to Protect this Burrow.
"Of Course sir, But-"
"Those two Lunatics need watching."
None of this was heard by Hazel or Fiver who had just left the Burrow.
"Well, I guess that's our Answer." Said Hazel, Dejectedly.
"What else were you expecting?" Asked Fiver.
"I don't know, I've never bean near the Threarah before, We'll just have to do as he say and-"
"No!" Said Fiver Suddenly. "We have to leave now!"
"What?" Asked Hazel. "But Fiver-"
"I keep telling you Hazel." Said Fiver. "Something Bad is going to Happen, Sometime soon We have to go Now."
Hazel thought this over and Remembered what he had said Earlier.
"Alright We may need to spread the word, Careful though, If the Owsla get word of this there will be trouble."
For the rest of the Afternoon, Hazel and Fiver began spreading the word to their friends.
"Good heavens." Said Blackberry. "I mean good gracious, I mean, Hazel your brother has Taken a firm stock in portent-"
"I can't speak for my Brother but as for me." Interrupted Rosemary. "I'm in."
Fiver went to speak with Dewdrop and Violet.
"Listen." He said. "There's a danger coming to Sandleford, Meet us under the Bridge at frithdown." And He lolloped off.
"What was all that about?" Asked Dewdrop.
