The pouring rain felt like piercing arrows against Jack's fur. The rain was falling so hard he could hardly see the kit he was carrying in his mouth or his wife carrying another kit a little ways away.
"Moira, we have to leave quickly, before we are caught!" Jack managed to say without dropping the kit.
"Jack, I know we are in danger, but the rain covers us well."
"Yes, but if we don't leave soon, the kits will die! We have to get of here!"
Moira nodded, and they both started to run toward the town, mud slopping all over their pelts as they went.
"Jack, I think the clan has caught our scent," Moira said under her breath,"why don't you just give them back the amulet?"
"NO!" Jack yelled fiercely, "It was my father's and they know it! All they want to do is put it in a scrapbook! I'm keeping it! Moira, it's the only thing i have left of him!"
Suddenly something big landed on Jack, sending the kit he was carrying sprawling across the ground. Moira quickly looked to see what had happened, and saw her husband locked in combat with another fox, probably a lookout from the clan. She gently put down her kit to go fetch the one that had been dropped. Amazingly, it was still fast asleep, and when she returned to the other one, she looked and found that Jack had won the fight, blood all over the ground. Moira gazed at the limp body near her husband
"Is he...dead?" she asked caustiosly.
"What? No, of course not! Where's the honor in that?" he asked, slightly taken back a bit. "Here, give me one of those kits. We best be going to the town."
"Wait," Moira said quickly.
"What is it?"
"It's just that...I don't think we should go directly toward the town. They might trap us. I think it would be best just to go around and enter the town through a side street."
"I...i don't know, Moira. There could be gaurds all around the town, waiting for us to come."
"Oh come now. That doesn't sound really reasonable. Here, I have an idea. Why don't you give me the amulet and the kit, and you go straight for the town. Signal me if it's clear, and if they trap you, try and lure them away from the town, and say you hid the amulet somewhere. I'll stay here and wait."
"But how will I get back to you?"
"When you see a chance, run. But make it look good. Say you have to crap or something."
Jack chuckled at this. "Leave it up to my wife to crack a joke even when we're in a load of trouble."
Jack then caught a very faint scent of the clan, which was a miracle through all this rain. Alarmed, Jack quickly gave his wife the amulet and the kit, and took off towards the town. Moira got a good grip on the two kits and slid the amulet over her neck, then slowly went backed up behind a large tree.
Ten minutes passed by. Ten cold, hard, and dreadful minutes. Moira could just not get herself to relax and think of something other that what the clan would do to her husband. Suddenly there was a scream of pain somewhere. Moira froze, not sure of where the yell had come from. The same someone screamed again, and this time it was close. VERY close.Moira started to feel uneasy, and suddenly heard Jack say,"I'm telling you, it's over here, to the left of that rasberry bush! If you don't want to believe me, it's your loss!"
Moira was puzzled for a second, not until she saw a rasberry under her nose. She quickly got up, gripped her kits, and took off in the opposite direction of where she heard her husband.
She ran in that direction for about five minutes before turning and heading toward the town, hoping all the way that she would not run into anybody from the clan.
Finally, she could see the town ten yards in front of her.
I'm going to make it She thought I'ts going to work!
Eight yards, seven, six, five, four...
"Well well well, what do we have here?"
