"We best get moving before that pack of dogs comes back" Ra said, after I finished telling them the story.
We began walking again. We walked for about twenty four hours.
"Hold on..." Snicker whispered.
"What is it?" I asked. "I don't know... I just...smell something... Something strong" Snicker whispered.
"Like what?" I asked.
"Am I the only one who can smell that?" Blackhawk asked. "You mean that horrible, strong smell" Gentle asked.
"I can't smell anything..." Better shrugged. "Ew, what is that smell?!" Backstab hissed. Flower coward behind Blackhawk. "I can't pin point what it is..." Blackhawk said, in a voice like he was concentrating on something. "Just stay sharp kittens" Ra said. "Do you know what that smell is?" Backstab asked.
"I do. But I don't think you want to know" Ra said. Backstab mumbled something to himself.
"Bird" Ra said turning to Alex.
"Yes, cat?" Alex replied. He was sitting on Blackhawk's back still.
"I suggest you leave. Your wing is better isn't it?" He asked. Alex took off into the air. "Good as new!" He yelled down. "Okay, take BlueWhiskers message to her family" Ra said.
Great...what did happen to that message?
I quickly rewrote the message on a piece of bark, and gave it to Alex.
"Bye Alex! Safe flight!" I said to him, as he flew away.

We continued walking, until it was sunrise. We walked all night.
"Let's sleep in that tree" Ra said, pointing to a tall tree. "Why do we have to sleep in trees!?" Blackhawk yelled. "Because, up in the trees you can see everything" Ra replied.
We all climbed into the tree.
Blackhawk took quicker to climb it this time, even though it took around ten minutes. "How come we are sleeping in the day, and walking in the night?" Better asked in a complaining voice. "If you sleep when you can't see, a rat could kill you without you noticing" Ra said. Better groaned, and spread herself out, lying on her back.

I curled up, and closed my eyes.

My leg was stuck, I kept trying to get it free, but it just got worse. The water from the waterfall was making me wet and cold. I looked up at the sky, the few stars that were in it, shone brightly.
I looked to the wall behind the waterfall. It said 'Neako' with an X over it. And there was something red dried over it. Blood. I stared at the word, Neako.

Suddenly, I appeared inside the tunnel behind the waterfall. I looked at the drawings on the walls. I looked at Sandfast and Morgan. Sandfast had a giant paw, crumbling it.

I appeared in another part of the tunnel. I looked at the list of names, that were all crossed out. The only ones that weren't, were
Smoketail
Bay
Vamp
Medallion
Goldenlotus
