CHAPTER 15 RIVER-FLOW

            The whole village was in a panic, since the villagers figured out cubs were disappearing. Including Flow’s friends, siblings, Katana, and lots of other cubs. Flow’s wounds were healed enough for her to walk, and fly a little distance, but she couldn’t swim. It crushed her heart since water was like her best friend, well her real best friend was Feather, but still. All three cub dens were on lock-down, and any cubs who were in the healer’s den couldn’t leave. “What are you thinking about?” Palm-Tail asked, he had been Flow’s room mate in the healers den and was recently released a while after her friends left on their mission. “Oh, its nothing” she replied, giving him a weak smile, “you two!” someone said from above “get into your den, NOW!” Flow and Palm-Tail scrambled around the clearing. They both knew they weren’t supost to be out, and yet there they were, scrambling around like a fish out-of-water.          “oof!” Palm-Tail squieled as he lept off the grass, he had tripped on a rock and the gryphon watcher was gaining on them. “C’mon! Palm!” Flow said, she wasn’t trying to rush him, but she really didn’t want to be stuck in a den for who knew how long. He fumbled for his balance and skidded on the floor a couple times, but they managed to squeeze into a small cub sized gap in the mountain. “You two are in big trouble!” the gryphon said, scraping at the mountain side. She eventually left to get help, not realizing the mestake she had made.

 “Come on!” Flow said, watching as Palm carefully squeezed out of the gap, trying not to re-open some of his scabs. “I’m trying!” he replied, and gave one more push before face planting on the floor, freed from his prison-like gap. Flow and Palm padded around the village, careful about being seen, and snuck a couple mice before scrambling back to their ‘totally secret hideout’. It was really the safety bunker for when the village got attacked, only cubs could fit so it was adult free. They both shrieked and dropped the mice when a black gryphon cub dived into the bunker, fallowed by a brown and electiric blue striped cub. Flint put a talon to her beck and made the ‘shhhh!’ sign, huffing followed and a snarl was heard from outside the bunker. Flow couldn’t believe her eyes, there was Flint and Rock-Slinger standing in front of her! Wing beats told them they were safe and all the questions spilled out, “What are you two doing here?!” Flint asked first. “We should be asking you that! Where’s Star-Fighter and Feather, and Katana?!” Flow asked, Rock tapped Flint’s shoulder then pointed to his beck, which had a metal bond around it. “Oh! Sorry…” Flint replied, then dug her talons into a crack in the bond, it made a click and it fell to the floor. “I can explain!” Rock said, “ok, then please do” Flow said sitting on the moss bed she had chosen. “you know what we had already planned-“ “mhmm” “-well we did that and me and Flint was chosen to be bait, let’s say we got attacked, I got caught but escaped, and last I saw Flint was when we crashed into each other while she was running away from a Dart-Tail, and we made it here” Flow was horrified once Flint told her side of the story. Feather, Star, and Katana of all gryphons! Were caught, and no one new where they where…
