Watership down (oc story)

Chapter 3

"So, you believe that man put that trap there? To....capture us?" Cedar-rah said in a tired and completely failing to keep the annoyed tone in his voice.

"Well, I believe so. No animal is smart to set up things like Man. And to be completely honest, I don't believe any thing could make it."

When Nathalay and Zidumni came across the weird man like shiny thing, they had immediately came to the chief rabbit to tell him everything.

To their disappointment, the chief rabbit didn't seem to take this seriously as his normal ways. In fact, when Zidumni told him that he should send a patrol to check it out themselves or to see if there were anymore, his body shaked and he had trouble saying anything without making noises as stifled laughter.

Chief rabbits are known to help their Warren and protect it from danger, he seems to take everything we said as a joke. Some chief rabbit he is.

Nathalay didn't dare say that out loud though. Cedar-rah may seemed to be humorous at everything but, the buck did have a mad side as well. And if she did say it, she could be punished. He had done it before to a pregnant doe when she disagreed with the idea of going to the worst area of the Warren to raise her kits.

She left the Warren soon after........

Afraid of being banished from the one home she knew well, Nathalay kept her muzzle shut. But of course, Cedar-rah didn't.

"You know, when I was younger, I used to make jokes or pranks to get attention, but over time I valued the ways of taking care of my Warren than waste it. You should know that too."

Nathalay was going to reply when Zidumni interrupted her. "We're no making this up for attention, this is serious!"

"I'm surprised, I thought you were the one who didn't take anything seriously Zidumni. I knew you had your ways of carelessness but I believe it ends now."

Cedar-rah's voice started out snarky and cocky but at the end of his sentence it got hard and quiet.

Nathalay gulped, she and her sister was going to pay a high price tonight.
Huge lecture in 3...2...and 1.

"You both should know buy now that wasting the chief rabbit's time is highly unacceptable. Zidumni I know that you are known as the careless or in this case the stupid one. You think everything is fine and wonder, well you listen to me, rabbits like you never live forever. That carelessness of yours ends now."

Nathalay noticed at the corner of her eye, that Zidumni had her head lowered, like a dog ashamed of itself.

"And you Nathalay, I'm disappointed in you. Many rabbits said you had great potential. I can't believe you pulling something like this. You may have known that what your doing is putting a bad reputation on both of you. I expect you to be a better example for your sister."

Nathalay felt sudden anger hit her throat, How dare he insult my way of taking care of Zidumni, I've went here for help, not advice of how to better sister.

Her ears felt hot and Nathalay couldn't hear the rest of what Cedar-rah had to say. Not long after, he finished his lecture, and when he asked that did they understand him, all Nathalay said was "yes chief rabbit."

"Good your free to go."

Both does padded out off the den and started to head out back to their burrow when the noticed rabbit like figures beside one of the burrows.

"What happened over there?" One of the rabbits said, the sound of a young buck.

"Your that close to the chief rabbit's burrow, you tell me what you heard.
Zidumni asked, not facing the rabbits but on the ground.

The rabbit who asked came out of the burrow, the moon casted upon his unusual black and white fur pattern.

"To be honest I couldn't here correctly, but by Frith was Cedar-rah sound mad." The black and white rabbit said.

Nathalay nodded, "He was."

"I also managed to hear about these shiny traps that man put up, is that true?"

Zidumni nodded. Nathalay looked at her sister's tired but also angery eyes focused on the ground.

"I wish to talk more, but me and Zidumni are tired for tonight.  We'll talk tomorrow in the morning."

The rabbit nodded and headed back to his burrow, looking back for a second before completely disappearing inside.

Nathalay and Zidumni were still quiet while hearing back. When they did, Zidumni immediately curled up in a ball. Nathalay snuggled next to her.

"I promise, I won't let anyone mock you, your my sister, and I'm proud that you are."
