Chapter Two

                     

                                                          Meeting the Rebels

Koi was being carried by the river. He gasped for air a few times. Koi wished he could swim well, but he couldn’t. Then suddenly he was pulled under water. He tried to breathe but he couldn’t. Koi looked below him, but there saw nothing pulling him. Koi just sat there and stared down. He finally realized he had to get up and began swimming for the surface. Suddenly, he saw a red liquid winding past him like a snake. Then Koi realized it was blood, and he came to a stop on shore at a patch of grass. He went to see where it was coming from. Ice crunched under his paws as he sprinted forward. He suddenly stopped as he spotted three animals. He identified two of them, Roxy from Cliff tribe and Kollin from River tribe. Kollin was a cat like Koi, but unlike Koi, he would always mess up when making a trap.

Seeing Kollin made Koi think about his own unusual origin.  People wondered why Koi was a cat and his dad was a wolf.   It was strange, but he never asked. When Koi and his mother moved in to River tribe, Riverius liked her so much they were now mates. Sometimes Koi would think about what happened to his other dad, the one he never knew.

Roxy who was a fox was arrogant and annoying. He knew her from a trip to Cliff Tribe.  For some reason, Koi felt a strange sensation that his arm was broken after he met her. The other animal who was a bird was flying over them and two dead wolves Koi noticed for the first time. “Hello Koi how are things doing?” said Kollin. “What happened here?” asked a scared Koi as he stared at the two unconscious wolves. Roxy sighed and motioned at the bird, “I don’t know anything, the bird might.”                                                                               

“ I don’t know anything either,” grumbled the bird. The four of them just sat there for a while. Koi finally realized he had to free his sister. He would have to get help for the two unconscious wolves after saving his sister. He started walking toward a pond. The liquid was silver and it seemed very thick. Koi got a jar from his bag  and put the jar in the pond. The silver liquid started flowing into the jar, and he retrieved it from the pond. Roxy snorted at him, “ Where are you going now Fishy?” Koi sighed, Roxy only called him that because his name sounded like the fish, coy. “I’m going to get my sister out of a trap I made,” said Koi walking to the river. I’m also going to report that two wolves are hurt.”

The bird then perched itself on a tree, gave Koi a glare, and said “ No you aren’t.  You are coming with me.  They want you.” Suddenly a scream pierced the air, a familiar sounding scream. “STREAM!” yelled Koi. Kollin then grabbed Koi’s paw and pulled him along as he jumped in the river. Kollin was a good swimmer even though he couldn’t fight or make traps well. In no time they made it back to the testing area. Three wolves and a jaguar wearing some type of hood stared up at Stream, who was holding onto the net. Out of no where, Roxy jumped out of a tree and swiped the jaguar in the eye, leaving a nasty scar. The scarred jaguar clutched his eye and tripped. He landed on the bed of spears from the trap. Koi opened the jar and poured the silver liquid on the spears and loosened all of the spikes. Roxy grabbed one for a battle weapon.

The bird then swooped down, grabbed another spear, and threw it at one of the wolves. The shot was lethal and the wolf died immediately. Soon the battle was over.  Stream was lowered from the tree.  Without anyone saying anything, a bunch of large birds swooped down and grabbed them. They were being taken somewhere.

Author’s Note: I am now doing the Author’s note!!! Cool battle right? Where do you think Koi will be taken? Also Kollin is Greatshot's character, so if you are new make a character now!!
