Hazel's Tired bunch of Rabbits slept soundly the rest of the day, The Day after, A loud squawking woke them Up Instantly.

It was kehaar, Trying to impersonate a rooster, Which he was failing miserably at.

"Morning Kehaar." Groaned Hannah.

"Yah, Very good morning Yah?" Said Kehaar.

"Are you off your rocker?" Exclaimed Bigwig. "Screaming like that?"

"Kehaar say hello to Morning." Said the Gull.

"Oh is that what you call it?" Asked Dandelion sarcastically.

"Next time you try to Say hello to the daytime, Don't." Said Bigwig.

"Kehaar sorry."

"Hazel!" Blackberry and Rosemary hopped over, Followed by Dewdrop. "We've found a burrow, Over there at the Beech tree." Said Blackberry.

Hazel followed the Siblings and Dewdrop to the Burrow and looked inside.

"There were Rabbits in here a long time ago." Said Rosemary.

Hazel sniffed. "No smell of Death or Disease, You think it's good?"

"It's rather Large." Observed Blackberry. "But there's not enough room for us to fit, Unless we pile up on top of each other."

"It seems in good shape to me." Said Dewdrop, Examining the walls. "Expanding an already made burrow seems like hard work, It could take forever unless we all pitch in."

"Bye everyone, Does she mean us?" Asked Hawkbit, Who stood outside with Dandelion, Bigwig, Silver, Bluebell, Strawberry, Violet, Pipkin and Fiver.

"Dewdrop, With all due respect, You are aware that Bucks don't dig right?" Silver asked.

"What's so good about Bucks that they can't dig?" Asked Hannah.

"That's the thing, We can't dig." Said Bigwig. "Our claws aren't long enough."

"True, But Violet, Rosemary and Dewdrop are the only does we have." Said Hazel. "You can't expect them to dig out the Warren by themselves."

"Well… Not really." Said Bluebell. "But help would we be anyway?"

"If we're gonna survive out here we need new ways of thinking." Said Hazel.

Wanting no part in the Debate, Pipkin scuttled off to Kehaar who was trying to eat some grass, Only to spit it out.

"Hungry already?" Asked Pipkin.

"Gulls always Hungry." Said Kehaar, As he waved his Injured wing. "You find food for Kehaar?"

"Like what?" Asked Pipkin

"Worms maybe?"

"Alright, I'll go look for some." And he Hopped off.

Meanwhile, A hedgehog was walking along, When he saw a large Yellow Weasel heading his way, He curled up in a ball to hide and the Weasel knocked him aside.

"Not today you smelly old Weasel." He said As he uncurled and Hopped off.

The Weasel sniffed the air, And caught a delightful smell.

"Long ears." It cackled, And followed the Scent, Unaware that Hannah had noticed.

Pipkin had found worms near a the underbelly of a log.

"Excellent."

Suddenly he heard a faint voice.

"Bigwig… Hazel… Silver... Where are you?"

As Pipkin heard this, He failed to see the Weasel sneaking up behind him, He then turned around and went tharn.

"Welcome back to old Hunting Grounds, Long ears!" Sneered the Weasel.

All of a sudden, Bigwig Pounced on the Weasel and sent him Sprawling.

"Leave him alone you mangy rag!" Snarled Bigwig.

The Weasel nearly charged at Bigwig, Only to be Pushed By Hawkbit and Kicked By silver, Sending him tumbling down the Hill.

"Are you alright?" Asked Bigwig.

Pipkin nodded Shakely.

Later Bigwig, Silver and Hawkbit Confronted Kehaar.

"What do you use for a brain." Snapped Hawkbit.

"Sending Pipkin off by himself?!" Exclaimed Silver. "You nearly got him killed you Idiot!"

"How Kehaar supposed to know there Weasel about?"

"You're just lucky Hannah managed to warn us." Scolded Bigwig.

"What's all this about?" Asked dHazle as he hopped over.

"There's a weasel in the Area." Said Bigwig.

"What? A weasel?!"

"Yeah, Nearly got Pipkin too." Said Silver.

"Oh Frith and Inle, We have to get the others."

"We managed to Drive it off for now." Said Bigwig. "We also have that Mouse Keeping watch."

"Well, We can't be too sure." Said Hazel. "C'mon."

Hazel, Hawkbit and Silver went to get the other with Kehaar, Leaving Bigwig with a still shaken Pipkin.

"Oh come on lad, You're not going tharn because of some stinking Weasel are you?

"It's more than That Bigwig." Said Pipkin. "I swear before he Attacked, I heard a voice, Calling you'res Hazel's and Silver's names."

"Maybe it was just that Weasel toying with you." Reasoned Bigwig.

"Maybe…"

That night the Rabbits stayed watch, Incase the Weasel came back.

"What the Frith are we supposed to do now?" Asked Violet.

"Digging a new Warren is one thing, But now we have to deal with a weasel too?" Asked Hawkbit. "Why can't have a moment's rest for a change!"

"I still wonder what's going on back home." Said Dandelion.

Zorn… Zorn…

"What was that?" Asked Strawberry.

"That… That's it…" Quivered Pipkin. "It's the voice I heard."

"The Weasel?" asked Bigwig as he edged closer.

"I… I don't know…" Said Pipkin.

"We'd better check." Said Hazel

He hopped towards the wood, With Fiver, Bigwig and Silver.

"You think It's the Black Rabbit of Inle?" asked Silver.

"Of course not." Scoffed Bigwig.

"He called our names." Silver pointed out.

"But he only takes-"

Four shapes suddenly emerged from the Forest, They looked like Rabbits.

"Wait… Are those?" Asked Fiver.

The Four Rabbits slowly came into view their leader moaning the entire time.

"... Zorn… Zorn… All dead, O Zorn…"

"Buckthorn?" Asked Silver.

"By Frith it is Buckthorn, And Acorn and Speedwell too!" Creid Hazel.

"And Captain Holly!" Said Bigwig.

Captain Holly along with Buckthorn, Acorn and Speedwell came into the Moonlight, Battered Bruised and Scarred, Holly worst of them all, He collapsed first and Bigwig Rushed over to him.

"Help us…" Pleaded Buckthorn. "The Captains Hurt."

"Holly! It's me! Bigwig." Said Bigwig.

"We've found you… We've found you." Holly Whimpered.

The other Rabbits heard the commotion and Hawkbit, Dandelion, Rosemary, Pipkin and Blackberry hurried over to see what was up, They were shocked at what they Found.

"Are those…?" Asked Pipkin.

"Well frith be Damned." Said Blackberry.

Speedwell than looked to Fiver. "I remember you, You're the one who saw it coming, Who knew the story before it was evan told."

"What do you mean?" Asked Fiver.

"Sandleford… It's gone." Said Holly.

The others let out a gasp.

"All gone…"

"Did anyone else besides you lot get out?" Asked Rosemary.

"Some." Replied Holly. "But we don't know what's happened to them, Sandlefords gone! Destroyed… We're all that's left."

"It's all right, Holly." Said Bigwig. "You're safe now, You're with us."

"No." Said Holly. "There's something else."

"What?" asked Hazel.

"You're not safe here." Said Acorn. "No ones safe."

"Not while that Weasels out there." Said Bigwig.

"What Weasel?" Asked Buckthorn.

Far away from Watership down...

"Sir, The wide Patrol picked up the scent of a large band of Rabbits Near Nuthanger Farm, Unfortunately sir, They lost them."

"Tell them not to return until there located, Leave one alive for Questioning."

Finally, I've been waiting to get to the Efrafans for weeks, Or at least Omage them.

To Be Continued.
