-Chapter 10-
The Decision
Today was the day that everyone decided on how we were going to deal with the humans. Everyone gathered in the center of the forest, all of the different animals were here. We would vote with pebbles, the ones that were white meant that we were to fall back, the black ones meant we were to fight back. When the vote had started me and my parents put the white pebble, so did the rest of my friends. But Sly's family but the black one in, they wanted revenge on what they did to Sly. A lot of people were putting white pebbles in the center, which relieved me. When everyone had voted, a couple people volunteered to count. We were all nervous, when it came down to it the white pebbles won, then only one by 13, that was very close. Me and my friends were relieved, now we had to find a new home.
Were getting out stuff and heading out, we know about another forest, but its about two miles away. I really hope we will get there in time, I dont want hunters killing us. We were one of the first families to go, I was happy and sad at the same time, I didn't want to leave my home, but I didn't want to get killed. Rough times are a head, and the path is going to be rougher.
