Discovering Angbotain The beginnings - book 1

CHAPTER VI

As the siblings arrived at Oliver's place, their hearts sank at the sight of the shattered and broken-down house. Jacob's eyes widened with worry, and without hesitation, he rushed towards the house, his siblings following close behind. They stepped cautiously over the debris, their minds filled with concern for their dear friend.

Upon entering the house, they were met with a scene of chaos. Furniture was overturned, and belongings were strewn about. It was clear that something terrible had happened. Jacob's heart raced as he surveyed the damage, his mind racing with thoughts of what could have transpired.

Just as despair threatened to consume them, a sound caught their attention. They turned to see two rabbits hopping towards them, their fur shimmering in the sunlight. To their astonishment, the rabbits began to speak.

"Hello there," the first rabbit said, its voice surprisingly clear and melodic. "We couldn't help but overhear your concern. Are you looking for Oliver?"

Jacob's eyes widened with hope as he nodded eagerly. "Yes! Do you know where he is? Is he alright?"

The second rabbit, with a mischievous glint in its eye, hopped forward. "Oliver has been kidnapped by a pixie named Pippa. She's known for her tricks and mischief. We saw her fly away with Oliver towards the heart of the enchanted forest."

Jillian's worry deepened, and she voiced her concerns. "What should we do? Shouldn't we go back and inform someone about this?"

Angel nodded in agreement, her voice filled with anxiety. "Jillian is right. We should go back and find someone who can help us rescue Oliver. It's too dangerous for us to go alone."

But Jacob's determination burned fiercely within him, and he shook his head resolutely. "No, we can't just leave Oliver in the hands of a pixie. We have to save him. We can't waste any more time."

The first rabbit, named Thistle, hopped closer to Jacob, its voice filled with wisdom. "We understand your concern, young one. The pixie's magic is strong, and time is of the essence. But fear not, for we are here to help."

Jillian furrowed her brow, her voice laced with concern. "How do we even begin to find Oliver in this vast forest? It seems like an impossible task."

Thistle's ears twitched with excitement as it spoke. "There is a hidden realm within the enchanted forest, a place of magic and wonder. It is there that Pippa has taken Oliver. If you follow us, we can guide you to our safe haven, where you can regroup and plan your rescue mission."

Louie, who had been listening intently, spoke up with determination in his voice. "We won't back down. We'll face whatever challenges come our way and rescue Oliver. He's our friend, and we won't leave him behind."

The second rabbit, named Clover, hopped forward and nodded in agreement. "Your bravery is admirable, young ones. We will do everything in our power to aid you on this quest. But first, we must ensure your safety. Follow us to our hidden burrow, where you will find refuge from the dangers of the forest."

With their decision made, the siblings followed Thistle and Clover as they hopped through the broken-down house and out into the open. The rabbits led them through a secret path hidden amidst the overgrown foliage, their steps light and nimble.

As they ventured deeper into the forest, the air grew thick with an otherworldly energy. Sunlight filtered through the dense canopy, casting an ethereal glow on the forest floor. The siblings couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder as they walked through this enchanted realm.

After what seemed like an eternity, the rabbits finally led them to a hidden clearing. The grass was soft beneath their feet, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the surrounding trees. The siblings looked around in awe, taking in the beauty of their surroundings.

Thistle and Clover turned to face the siblings, their eyes filled with kindness. "Welcome to our sanctuary," Thistle said. "Here, you will find solace and safety. Take this time to rest and gather your strength. We will assist you in any way we can."

Jacob, grateful for their guidance, smiled warmly at the rabbits. "Thank you for leading us here. We appreciate your help. Now, we must come up with a plan to rescue Oliver."

Clover nodded in agreement, its whiskers twitching with excitement. "Indeed, time is of the essence. Pippa is a cunning pixie, and we must be prepared for her tricks. But fear not, for we have knowledge that can aid you."

Jillian's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "What kind of knowledge do you have? Can you give us any hints on how to outsmart Pippa?"

Thistle and Clover exchanged a knowing glance before Thistle spoke up. "Pippa is fond of riddles and challenges. She delights in testing the wit and cleverness of those who dare to enter her realm. To outsmart her, you must rely on your intelligence, teamwork, and the bond of your siblinghood."

Angel's eyes lit up with determination. "We've faced challenges before, and we've always come out stronger together. We won't let Pippa's tricks defeat us."

Thistle nodded approvingly. "That is the spirit, young one. Remember, the power of your bond as siblings is a force to be reckoned with. Lean on each other, trust in each other's strengths, and you will overcome any obstacle."

Louie placed a hand on Jacob's shoulder, a reassuring smile on his face. "We've got this, Jacob. Together, we'll save Oliver and bring him back home."

With renewed determination, the siblings settled down in the peaceful clearing, their minds buzzing with anticipation and plans.

They knew that the road ahead would be fraught with danger, but they were ready to face it head-on. With Thistle, Clover, and their unwavering sibling bond by their side, they felt a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
