Hazel and his companions continued their Journey to the High Hills, They traveled night and day to get there and encountered many sights along the way, Such as a Grey Fisher bird that stabbed at a sledge until a wild Duck scared them away, The crossed open Pastures, Went passed cottages, And went under a Pylon. (Which Rabbits refer to as "Iron Trees.")
Strawberry, While grateful to be away from the Warren of the Shining wire, Was having a bad time nonetheless, His Depression made him slow witted and Careless and he was ashamed of the part he had played in Cowslips Trickery,
"He'll be alright." Hazel had said to Bigwig. "We just need to give him a chance."
"You can give him a chance, I can be annoyed." Shrugged Bigwig.
The Rabbits continued onwards nonetheless, The next day was dreary grey sky of Clouds and mist, As the others Hooped over a hill Fiver got caught in a tree root and tripped into a puddle.
Hazel came to his side. "Are you alright Fiver?" He asked.
"I'm alright." Said Fiver getting up. "Just tripped that's all."
"Hazel! Fiver Up here!" Called Bigwig.
Hazel and Fiver went up the Hill to where the others were.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Asked Hazel.
"Just for a moment, I thought we saw…" Said Bigwig.
The mist began to part and before their eyes and the clouds began to part as well revealing what they had been searching for for so long.
"The High Hill!" Cried Hazel.
And sure enough, There it was, A high lonely Hill where the wind carried every whisper and the Ground was as dry as straw in a barn!
"It's real." SaidHawkbit.
"So beautiful." Said Rosemary.
"Incredible." Said Silver, Bluebell and Strawberry in Unison.
"After so long." Said Violet.
"It looks so far away." Said Pipkin.
"Haha! But it's there!" Laughed Dandelion.
"You were right lad!" Cried Bigwig with Joy. "You were right all along!"
Dewdrop sniffed the air. "I smell cabbages." She said.
"And Carrots." Added Hazel.
"And Lettuce." Added Fiver.
"Flayrah!" Cried Violet.
"It's coming from over there!" Said Silver.
The Rabbits hopped over to a ledge, Where down below was Farm.
"I could Run to that Hill on a belly full of Carrots." Said Bigwig. "What are we waiting for?"
"There may be Dogs or Cats down there not to mention Man." Said Hazel.
"Plus it could be Snared." Said Strawberry
"We'd better avoid the Bushes than." Said Silver.
"So let's go trick man out of Some Flayrah." Siad Bigwig.
Down below in the Farm, The Barn door was slightly ajar, A small Mouses shadow crept up to it and peered inside, Unaware of a larger shadow over her.
"Hello Hanya!" Squawked Kehaar.
"Give me a warning next time you drop from the Sky!" Snapped the Mouse whose name was Hannah Not Hanya. "What do you want now?"
"Fish." Said Kehaar. "Kehaar no good at finding fish in the Little water, Big water far away."
"We were lucky with getting away with Tabitha's fish last time." Said Hannah. "After this no more ya damn bird."
And with that the two went inside.
And the other side of the Barn, Hazel's band had found Flayrah neer some Crates full of it.
"Hmm, Now this is some good Flayrah." Said Pipkin.
"Yeah, Who would miss a few Carrots?" Asked Bigwig.
"Feels good to take my own Flayrah for a change." Strawberry added.
Kehaar and Hannah poked their heads from the side of a Plow and saw the Cats fish bowl unguarded.
"Old Tabs Probably somewhere else." Said Hannah.
That was good for Kehaar, He went over to the Fish and Flipped one in the air, And swallowed it, He looked back at Hannah Who was motioning him at run, He then looked up and Saw a yellow cat was up above Him, Kehaar let out a shocked gasp as Tabitha lunged at him, Her yawl could be heard well enough for the Rabbits to hear.
"There's a cat about." Bigwig said Cautiously.
"Lets not overstay our welcome." Said Hazel.
The Rabbits than scampered away from the Barn as fast as they could, Pipkin was the Last to depart, When he heard a familiar voice inside the Barn.
"Stinking Cat! Get away from Kehaar!"
Pipkin edged towards the Barn entrance, When Hannah bumped into him.
"Rabbit! Run for your life! Cat's got Kehaar!" She Panicked.
"Kehaar? The Gull?" Asked Pipkin surprised.
Hazel and Bigwig looked back.
"Pipkin! What are you doing?!" Cried Hazel.
"Come on!" Yelled Bigwig.
The other Rabbits ran back to the Barn, Where Pipkin and Hannah were looking inside.
"Come on Cat! I show you how to fight!" Snarled Kehaar.
"What are you doing?!" Yelled Pipkin.
"It's kehaar! The Gull." Said Pipkin. "I met him in the Bean field we've got to help him!"
"Against a cat?!" Exclaimed Hawkbit.
Back in the Barn Kehaar and Tab were Hissing and Squawking at each other, Than Tan swiped at Kehaars wing and scratched it.
"Hey Fur ball!" Called Hazel.
Tab turned and saw Hazel standing there.
"Can you run you Pie eyed, Saucer-licking, Scrap Scraper?" He taunted.
Tabitha flexed her claws. "You'll see longear."
"I think not."
As if on cue, Bigwig and Silver Pushed a pile of Flower pots on Tab, They crashed around her as she ducked.
"Come on Kehaar!" Called Hannah.
Kehaar and the Rabbits ran out of the Barn with Tab chasing them, For moment Hazel thought he could see Other Rabbits watching from a hutch, He shrugged this off though.
Suddenly, The front door of the Farm house opened and a voice was heard.
"What's all that than?" A girl asked. "Tab? Tab! Let them alone!"
Hearing her Owners voice, Tabitha stopped in her Tracks and watched as her prey fled.
"Cruel thing."
Meanwhile, Hazels crew had fled outside the gate, And were catching their breath.
"Are you alright Kehaar?" Asked Pipkin.
"Not to bad." Replied the Gull, He flexed his wing and Yelped in Pain. "Maybe not fly so good for a while."
"You won't last long on the Ground with a Broken wing Kehaar." Said Hannah.
"No, I walk plenty good." Said Kehaar, Taking two steps before tripping.
"You might want to come with us." Said Violet. "We're heading to that big hill over there."
"No thanks I- YOUCH! Is long way?"
"Right Let's get going." Said Bigwig.
The Rabbits, Now joined by Kehaar and Hannah continued their Journey, They lolloped under another Iron Tree and it front of it was the High hill itself.
"That's it!" Said Fiver. "That's where we have to be!"
"All the way up there?" Asked Hawkbit.
"How far is it to the Top, Kehaar?" Asked Hazel.
"Not far if you fly, Longer if you walk." Said kehaar.
And it was, It took them all night to get to the Top, By Morning Hazel and Fiver reached it first with Violet.
"We made it!" Said Fiver.
"Come and Look!" Called Violet as the others reached the top.
What they all saw took their breath away.
"You can see the Whole World!" Cheered Dandelion.
"We'll be able to see enemies from Miles away!" Added Bigwig.
"Yes, It's a very good place." Agreed Kehaar.
"The locals call it Watership down." Said Hannah.
"Watership down… Home." Said Fiver in awe.
"Oh Frith on the Hills, He made it just for us!" Exclaimed Dewdrop.
"Firth may have made it, But Fiver found it." Said Hazel.
