The Chat

Hopefully today Bigwig will return back to the warren, or at least soon! Once again Keehar has told us a little about what has happened so far today with Bigwig. All of us sit around and wait for Keehar in the morning to find out what has been happening.

This morning right before Bigwig left, Woundwort wanted to talk to him right away. So Bigwig went nervously to talk to Woundwort. Once Bigwig gets to Woundwort, he goes in and talks to him. Woundwort was questioning Bigwig about a lot of things. Bigwig just lies about everything he is questioned about. Which isn't too good in my opinion. Bigwig has been lying right to Woundwort and Chevril's face. The others and I are really worried
about the plan, and if its even going to happen at all now. I am worried that Bigwig might not be able to make it out. Bigwig decided to change the escape to the nest day just because Woundwort and Chevril seem to be questioning him a lot.

Later on in the day, one of the does named Nelthilta blurts out everything that Bigwig told her to Chevril. Now Bigwig may be in deep trouble. Chevril does not confront Bigwig about it, that's very strange. Keehar flew by and Bigwig wanted to leave, but he signaled Keehar saying to come back tonight. Hopefully Bigwig will come back tonight. I hope this whole plan works out. Well everyone is going to take a hop and I am going to join them, I will tell more about Bigwig  and the escape later!

Brainstorming

Today, Keehar has told us a little more about what has been going on at Efrafa.

Last night, Bigwig mentioned Fiver's name in his sleep. That's not a good thing because no one knows who Fiver is and of course he will get questioned about it. This morning, some of the rabbits were questioning Bigwig a lot. They asked who Fiver was and why he said his name in his sleep. Bigwig told them that Fiver was a rabbit he knew once who could tell the weather. Some of the rabbits were confused and a little questionable but the other ones just sighed and hopped away.

Bigwig has been thinking all day and wondering when to leave and what to do. He decided it would be a good idea to leave tonight as quick as he can. He just wanted to warn the others that he may leave soon. His plan ends up being ruined on leaving tonight. I think he is planning to leave at sunrise tomorrow morning though. That's all Keehar has told us for now.

Its sunrise now really early this morning. Keehar came and told us more about Bigwig and when he is coming.
Bigwig took his mark out this morning. He is getting all the does and Blackavar ready to go with him. As soon as he is about to leave, Woundwort wants to talk to him. Keehar hasn't heard anything else  or seen anything else yet. Hopefully he will tell us some more later!

Making new friends

Its been a day since Bigwig has been at Efrafa. I am so worried something bad might happen. Keehar went to see Bigwig this morning and came back and told us what's been going on there and what Bigwig has been doing.

So far, Chevril, also a chief rabbit along with Bigwig has been explaining what Bigwig should be doing. He has been telling him about the procedures and other jobs that need to be done. Chevril sent Bigwig out to watch near the Mark Feed. While Bigwig is down there, he meets a rabbit named Blackavar. Blackavar is a member of the Efrafa who has been mutilated as a punishment for trying to escape the Efrafa. Bigwig gets frightened and imagines if that might happen to him when he tries to leave. Bigwig decided that it would be a good idea if he took Blackavar with him when he left with the does. He wants Blackavar to come with him because he could be useful on the journey. I think it would be a good idea if Blackavar came along with us also.

Below here is a picture of Blackavar.

Bigwig's Sneaky Trick

Bigwig was the only one who went to Efrafa. He is going by himself and I am very worried. Keehar will fly around there and keep us updated on what Bigwig is doing and what is going on there. The rest of us are waiting at the boat, we are ready to go on as soon as he comes back.

From what Keehar told us, Bigwig has just arrived at Efrafa. He already talked to Woundwort, he had a very interesting talk with him. Keehar listened to the whole conversation. Woundwort was telling Bigwig that he wants him to join his Owsla. Bigwig agreed on joining. But, what Woundwort doesn't know, is that Bigwig will only be there for a couple days to get does.

So far the plan is working, Bigwig has received his mark. He also received his name "Thlayli" . The rabbits at Efrafa will call Bigwig "Thlayli" instead of Bigwig. Bigwig has been assigned trial duties. He is just about to start talking to all the does he wants to bring with him when he leaves.

The Plan

This morning was very strange. I woke up to bats screeching. I don't know what it was at first but then I saw the bats and got very frightened. I ran out of our warren, I don't think anyone was awake at the time. Maybe some of the others were awake and I just couldn't see them. Anyways, I am outside now and I think I am going to get something to eat.

Its later in the day now, everyone is awake. Everyone is sitting here with me and we are talking about where to go next. We decided to keep walking because earlier Keehar said he would lead us to a river with a bridge.  We are walking now and Keehar said we are almost there, I am kind of worried about what is going to happen once we get to the bridge..

We finally reached the bridge. Its a bridge over a small deep river. We need to cross the bridge Keehar told us, but we are all scared to go. We all want Fiver to go first so he can tell us if its okay to cross and be over there. Fiver agreed to go first because he says nothing is wrong. We are all thankful that Fiver wants to go first. A bit of relief has come over me. Fiver crossed the bridge and all of us followed after him. Now that we all crossed the bridge, we need to think of a plan to go to Efrafa. I thought of a good plan that will either work really good, or not work at all. I figured out how to go to Efrafa and get the does, and get out. I just don't know how to disappear without anyone seeing us leave.

I took Bigwig, Fiver, Blackberry, and Bluebell to come explore with me around the area. We also wanted to talk about the plan to go to Efrafa to make sure it will work well. As we were walking, we saw a boat tied up to a stump. We walked over to see closer and get a closer look at it. At that moment we realized that the boat is the answer to our last puzzle. Our last puzzle is, as I mentioned earlier, disappearing once we get the does. But if we have the boat, we decided we would chew the rope until only a little string is attached. Once we get the does we will bring them to the boat with everyone else and jump on the boat, pull the rope from the last thread and go down the river to get away. I have decided to have Bigwig go get the does because Woundwort wants Bigwig to join and become part of his Owsla. If Bigwig goes and pretends he wants to be in the Owsla, he can manage to get the does and leave as quickly as possible with them.

Almost Got Caught

Today we continued on our way to Efrafa, just like every other day so far. Except today felt a little different. I don't know what felt different, but something was off. It seems almost like something bad is going to happen and I somehow don't know what. I don't think its anything major. Whatever, I will just keep going along.

Its been two hours since I wrote. Something very scary had happened. Something we could only dream would never happen. Its frightful, huge, and not to mention scary. It was a fox. Yes, it was a fox; a huge furry orange fox. I spotted it while we were walking. Right when I saw it lounging around in the woods, I told everyone to stop and come to me right away. I wanted to make sure everyone knew what to do. I told everyone to hop really slow and quietly out of his sight. Everyone did as I said, which was good. I lead everyone away from the fox so he wouldn't chase us. Then we started hopping regularly and the fox turned around and looked at us. He started walking towards us, I made sure everyone stayed still and low to the hot grassy ground. Suddenly out of nowhere, Bigwig jumped up and started hopping fast. He said he needed to get something. The fox looked over and just turned around and left. That was a close call, good thing he wasn't that close to us.

So later that night we carry on and keep going on our way. Kehaar came and said he had to tell us something. He tells us that there is a patrol nearby that will find us soon if we don't hide from them. I made the decision to hide on the iron road. We crossed onto the iron road- railroad tracks and stay there for a while just to make sure the coast is completely clear and there is no problems in our way. Kehaar comes back to us later and tells us that the coast is clear and we can keep moving on now. Kehaar is such a big help to us, I am so happy he decided to come along with us. I am getting tired along with the rest of the group. I think its time to go to sleep, I will write soon, stay tuned till the next one!

Suspensful Story

Dandelion is telling the story of El-arairah and the Black Rabbit. Bigwig is the only one who wants to hear it. The rest of us are quite frightened, but we sit through it. The story is kind of confusing, I don't understand most of it. But Bigwig seems to be enjoying it very much.  Pipkin is very scared, he asked me to go somewhere else with him. So I took him away and we watched the animals eat moths. I could still hear Dandelion faintly from a distance. He was hesitating to continue telling the story. Bigwig got very angry and convinced him to keep going and not leave anything out of it!

Tonight has been a weird night and I am just ready to go to sleep. I brought Pipkin back into the place where we are going to sleep. Now I am just ready to finally curl up and go to sleep. Being a leader is very hard. Make sure to check into my next blog when I post it!
