Sorry for the long wait bạn guys. I was working on a bunch of projects for school that were due the same week. Also it's my birthday tomorrow :D Here's Chapter 25. Enjoy.

Runt's POV

The five of us just arrived at the Northern Pack as we Magril and Fleet talk with their friends. Magril turned around as she shouted hi to me and the others. "Hey guys," she yelled. The others turned to us and greeted us as they walked to us. "So where are we heading today," Fleet asked. "Well we were thinking of going to that cave we went the other day," Claudette answered. "Sounds good to us," Ed replied. Everyone else nodded their heads in agreement

"Hey Stinky," I heard Artemis say to my brother. "Oh hi Artemis," Stinky đã đưa ý kiến a little nervous. I knew he was a bit anxious about his ngày with Artemis tonight. "So y-you ready for our ngày tonight," Stinky asked. "Of course. Why wouldn't I be," Artemis responded. "I'm sure we'll have a great time." Artemis began to nuzzle his chest with her head and he looked really nervous . "Good job Stinky, your ngày with her hasn't happened yet and here bạn two are already nuzzling," Claudette joked as we all chuckled a little. "Shut up Claudette," he seethed.

Artemis stopped after a while and my brother immediately dropped on the ground, panting heavily. "I guess I went a little overboard," Artemis stated. "Ya think," Agnes đã đưa ý kiến in her usual sarcastic tone. Stinky got up and started to walk to the directions of the cave, but before any of us could even speak he đã đưa ý kiến three words seriously, "NOT ANOTHER WORD." We immediately followed him. It probably be dumb to try to provoke him.

We headed to the forest which contained the entrance to the cave. The scenery hadn't changed at all after we first arrived there. I looked around and saw a bunch of bướm on a cây branch. Some of them were golden, while others were blue and just one was black. I remembered one time when my mom đã đưa ý kiến that bướm were her yêu thích animals. She liked how majestic they looked flapping their wings. They were really pretty I had to admit.

"Hey Magril do bạn see those bướm over there," I asked my girlfriend. She turned her head around and was amazed at the colored butterflies. "Wow they look even thêm beautiful than the ones," she đã đưa ý kiến as all the bướm flew away. "By the way Runt, I heard there might be fireflies at this time. Maybe we watch some," she asked (I'm perfectly aware that fireflies normally come out during the summer. Don't complain and read the fanfic). I never realized about fireflies, but that sounds like a good way to start our date. "Sure I like to watch them as well," I stated.

We continued to walk to the cave until we reached the entrance. It was still the same as expected. "Huh nothing really changed," Agnes commented. "Yeah. From what my grandparents told me, the cave still looks exactly the same as it for them years," I told them. Grandpa Winston's and Grandma Eve's mô tả from when they were young was practically the same as today.

"Wonder how that's even possible," Fleet wondered. "Well supposedly the cave's made of some rock that's practically indestructible," I said. "My grandparents đã đưa ý kiến the material the cave was made out of could withstand any storm hoặc weather." "Wow that's incredible," Brent said. "Didn't Grandma and Grandpa say they considered living here instead of their other den," Stinky asked. "Yeah they đã đưa ý kiến that it was too far from the pack and from Mom and Dad," Claudette answered his question.

We continued to walk to the cave when we heard something di chuyển in the bushes. "What was that," Diana said. I was a little worried about what caused the rustling. A few giây passed before I gathered up the courage to speak. "I'll go check out and see what's in the bush," I volunteered myself to check it out hoping it was an innocent animal. Once tiếp theo to the bush, I opened it and saw a full-grown cáo, fox inside it. She immediately backed away in fear. "Please don't hurt me I need help," she pleaded. I noticed she talked in a British accent like Paddy.

We all looked at her with shock as we never expected to see cáo, fox beg for us. Normally they would try to steal thực phẩm from us like coyotes (Not sure if foxes do that but whatever). "What do bạn need help with," I heard Claudette ask. "It's my cubs," she answered. "They're horribly ill and I need hoa for them." "What kind of flower," I asked her. "Our pack has a lot of medicine bạn can use." "Really oh thank bạn so much." "Just follow us," I đã đưa ý kiến as we all ran back to the Western Pack to see if my mom and dad can help the vixen. "Hey umm what's your name anyway," Stinky asked her. "Oh my apologizes dear, it's Celeste."

After awhile we arrived at my family's den, we saw parents talking with Uncles Garth, Salty, Shakey, Mooch and Aunts Lilly, Sweets, Janice and Candy. "Mom, Dad," I shouted. All ten of them turned as Dad, "Son what's the matter?" They turned their attentions to Celeste and were shocked. "Is that a fox," Uncle Mooch said. "Are bạn two the Western Pack leaders," Celeste asked "Yes we are. Do bạn need something," Mom said. "Yes I need a hoa for my children. They are near death," Celeste đã đưa ý kiến distraught. "What kind of hoa do bạn need," Dad asked her. "Trilliums," she answered. "Sweets, kẹo try to gather some of those hoa from the healing den," Mom told my aunts.

Since they were the pack healers, they knew pretty much everything about medicine. A few giây later, both of them had a bunch of those trilliums in their mouths. "Okay just hiển thị us the way," Dad said. All twenty of us followed her as we ran through the forest. We then saw a den almost as big as our den. "There inside," Celeste said. "Okay kids stay outside so bạn don't sick and Mooch and Garth stay with them so no other predator comes," Dad told us. Uncles Garth and Mooch nodded in agreement. The others went inside as the twelve of us stayed outside.

After awhile, my parents and the others came outside. "They're alright now," Aunt Sweets said. "Thank bạn so much," Celeste said. "It was no problem at all," Mom said. "What happened to them," Agnes asked. "Well a week ago, I was gathering thực phẩm for them when one of my cubs đã đưa ý kiến that the water from a pond nearby tasted weird," Celeste said. "At first I thought nothing of it so I just told them to drink from somewhere else. Then after a while they became ill and I began to fear they would.. die." "Most likely some humans dump some chemicals into the river," Dad said. "Luckily the trillum was able to negate any effects the chemicals had."

"Again thank bạn so much for your help," Celeste said. "If your pups and their Những người bạn weren't at that bụi cây, cây bụi, tổng thống bush I was in, my cubs wouldn't have survived." "It was no trouble honest," Mom told her. "Just let your cubs rest for a ngày hoặc two and they should back to full health bởi this week." After we đã đưa ý kiến our goodbyes, our left to go back trang chủ to get ready for the Moonlight Howl tonight. "It was really lucky that bạn pups were near your grandparent's dating cave at the same time as that fox," Uncle Garth told us. "Yeah. xin chào maybe later this week we can visit the cubs and see how they're doing," Stinky suggested. "I guess if Celeste doesn't mind," Dad said.

"I've never met any who British although Mr. Paddy," Claudette said. "Yeah. DO bạn think she was brought like bạn and me were brought to Idaho," Dad wondered. "Maybe. She might have been brought here from England," Kate said. We finally got trang chủ as our parents told us to go inside and prepare. "We'll help bạn guys if bạn need assistance," Dad said. "Ok," The three of us đã đưa ý kiến in unison. I couldn't imagine how tonight was going to turn out.

Okay so that was Chapter 25. Again sorry for the wait bạn guys. I had to work on some end-of-the-year projects for school, luckily I have a week of school left. I can't wait for my birthday tomorrow. Funny enough I was born on the same ngày the Lion King first released in theaters. Well cya later.
