Chapter Three
Citrus and Renn gathered their belongings, their journey through the valley would be long and hard. They would go by nightfall, Citrus and Renn lay down and slept until then. Renn drifted into a dream, she was back in the forest being chased by the bear, a soft quiet voice whispered, "Find the rock with the claw marks.". Renn awoke suddenly, it was night. Citrus was already up, "We better go now." she said. Renn nodded. They walked off into the forest, Renn looked around for the rock with the claw marks, she found it near where she was attacked. "Citrus!, look!" Renn yelled, Citrus padded over to Renn,"What is it?" Citrus replied. Renn gestured towards the rock, "The rock my dream said to look for." she said, "That's strange, i also had a dream to look for the rock, but i ignored it." Citrus said confused. "But why?" she continued. Renn picked up the rock, she noticed it glowed in the moonlight. They padded on until dawn, Renn leaned down to a nearby stream and lapped up some water. Citrus laid out two pieces of meat, she picked some mint and crushed it on a rock, she then sprinkled it on the meat. Renn nodded thanks and ate her piece of meat. Renn and Citrus slept until night. Renn had another dream, the same voice said, "Follow the fox tracks.".
Renn and Citrus awoke about the same time, they had some meat and set off again, they both knew what to look for. Renn heard a close roar, the bear appeared. Citrus fell over, Renn stood between Citrus and the bear, she snarled. Citrus got up, "You get the neck, I'll get the legs." she yelled. Renn nodded, she launched for the bears neck. Citrus snapped at the bears legs, narrowly missing being stomped on, she grbbed one of the bears front legs and pulled on it, knocking the bear to the ground, if Renn wasn't distracting the bear by biting its neck Citrus would not have been able to knock over the bear. Renn let go of the bears neck and spotted the fox tracks, she started to follow them,"Come on" she yelled to Citrus. They ran until dawn.
