The group woke up pretty late that morning. Lloyd and Nya were the first two awake, Nya expected Zane to be awake because he's always the first awake and he likes to make everyone breakfast for when they wake up. But he wasn't, which concerned her. So the two of them made breakfast for themselves but there wasn't much food because of yesterday's events. Next to wake was Kai and Zane. Both of them were confused as to how they weren't the first awake, until they saw the time. Zane went into a long list of apologies for being late and not making breakfast. But Nya calmed him down and offered to make him breakfast for once. The four of them talked over breakfast, Kai explaining in full what happened last night. Not too long after, they both woke up. They both seemed exhausted, "Hey sleepyheads, how you feeling?" Jay gave a thumbs up and sat at the table, Cole shrugged and sat next to him. "Just saying but we need to get food, we don't have enough for lunch or dinner." "Ok, I'll go." "No! You need to heal." "Ok, Ok. I won't go." "We'll need to get extra food so we don't have to go out as much, so Jay and Cole will stay here, while the rest of us will go get food." They nodded and the other four left to go get their food for the next few weeks. Nya quickly grabbed two bags one for meat and another for berries. She waved goodbye and left the two boys alone. The boyfriends sat in the main room together and snuggled against each other. "I know that you said you were ok, but are you really?" Jay nodded, "Yeah I am, I realised how stupid I must have sounded. Like you would die from a small bite wound." "I don't think it's stupid, it shows that you care about me." "I guess you're right." Cole was happy to see his boyfriend smiling, after last night he barely got any sleep, he was too busy worrying about Jay to get any. And if he was lucky enough to get to sleep, he'd wake up again a few minutes later and watch over his boyfriend, making sure that he was safe. The bear let out a big yawn, "You tired?" He shook his head, "Come on, you need as much rest as you can get." Jay attempted to drag Cole to their bed, but a bear is too heavy for a bunny to pull. "Cole, you need to get up and into bed." "Nah, it's comfy here." He pulled Jay back onto the sofa and held him close in his arms. The bunny let out a loud squeal and struggled against his boyfriend, "Noooo! You need to get to bed! Let me go, Cole!" Cole smiled and held him closer, "Nooo!" "Night." "No! Cole get up this instant!" The bear laid on his side dragging the bunny down with him. Jay gave up and pouted for a few minutes before he succumbed to sleep. Cole chuckled at him before joining his small bunny boyfriend in sleep.
The group decided to stick together not willing to risk anyone getting hurt, they kept a lookout for any wolves or threats. "We can get some berries for you and Jay, then meat for the rest of us. So lead the way Zane!" The falcon flew near the ground and made sure that no one was left behind. They eventually reached a group of berry bushes. Zane told them which ones were safe and which ones to stay away from. He went to a bush and started picking, after they had a reasonable amount of berries in the bag, Zane passed one to Lloyd. Lloyd tilted his head in confusion. "Try it. You might like it more than the meat." The pup tried it and it wasn't too bad, he might actually eat berries for the rest of his life, depending on how the meat was. "Ok, let's go. I'll lead us to a great place for food." Kai stayed at the front of the pack, checking left and right for any threats, his tail swishing behind him. After almost thirty minutes of walking they reached a quiet area of the forest. "Huh? That's weird. Last time I came here it was full of animals." "Maybe we shouldn't be here. It's obvious that it's not safe. Let's go somewhere else." Kai ignored what Lloyd said and walked deeper. "Kai! What are you doing? There are other places to get food." He still walked deeper and suddenly he stopped. He heard the cracking of bones. He slowly backed up, into something. He looked up and saw a wolf. He shouted in surprise and jumped away from him. He looked towards his friends and saw all three of them knocked unconscious. "No... You monster! What do you want?!?" The wolf smiled a toothy grin, "You." And suddenly a sharp claw connected with the back of his head. He fell to the floor and grunted in pain. He tried to look up and saw two wolves, he remembered what they had said, two wolves who injured Cole. The fox growled at the pair before everything went to black.
