Thanks for the reviews, Firelover! Chapter 22 "Those humans are trying to kill us!!!" exclaimed Acorn Tree in fright. "Don't worry, I'll take care of them!" growled Ash Fall. "So will I!" growled Black Storm. Ash Fall and Black Storm charged at the humans. "ASH FALL!!! BLACK STORM!!! NO!!!" bellowed Acorn Tree, Amber Mist and I. The humans aimed their guns at Ash Fall and Black Storm. The humans shot at them, but my best friend and love dodged the bullets. Ash Fall swatted on of the humans to the ground. Black Storm swatted the other one to the ground. Ash Fall picked up the guns and threw them many wolf lengths away while Black Storm held the humans down. Ash Fall then lowered her head down towards one of the human's head. Ash Fall opened her mouth, and crushed the he-human's skull. Ash Fall went over to the other he-human and crushed his skull too. "Thanks Black Storm! Thanks Ash Fall! You two saved our lives!" said I. "Those humans won't threaten us anymore!" said Black Storm. "They're raven feed now!" said Ash Fall. "Okay, I suggest we run before some other human sees us!" said I. The others dipped their heads and ran after me. We ran and ran. Oh Spirit Tribe, first I lose my son, then I lost a friend, now we're almost killed! What's next?

Chapter 23
We continued to head north. Still no sign of the circus. Some more humans saw us. They stared at us with repolsed faces. Their dogs barked and snarled at us. Flies buzzed around our faces. "So nice to be loved!" growled Ash Fall. "I don't know how the rats and the gray birds can stand it!" exclaimed Black Storm. "You have to be tough as lightning to survive in human land!" exclaimed Acorn Tree. "Why would anyone want to live here?" shouted Amber Mist. "I don't know." said I. We walked and walked. "I'm starving!" exclaimed Ash Fall. "There's nothing descent around here for us to eat!" exclaimed Black Storm. "That's where you're wrong my friend! There's many great things to eat!" said a voice. "Who said that? Show yourself!" demanded I. "Turn around! I'm standing right near y'all!" replied the voice. We all turned around, and saw that the voice belonged to a male raccoon. "I'm Ziggy! Follow me, I'll show y'all where the best food is!" said the raccoon. We followed the young raccoon. The raccoon was fast. He lead us to a dark, cave-like place where it reeked of rotting human food inside of round, shiny stuff. "What is this place?" asked Black Storm in disgust. "We're in an alley. The food is inside of these garbage cans." said Ziggy. "You want us to eat GARBAGE?!?!?! Have you fallen on your head when you climbed trees?!?!?!" exclaimed Ash Fall. "It might smell bad, but it tastes great." said Ziggy with a hurt look on his face. "Come on y'all, Ziggy was kind enough to help us find food. The food might smell awful, but it's better than starving. Now, pick a garbage can, and eat." said I. My traveling mates hesitated, but went over towards the garbage cans. I went over towards one as well. We all tipped over the garbage cans. Black stuff fell out of the cans. "What is this black stuff?" asked Amber Mist. "They're called trash bags. The food is inside of them. Just, rip them open." said Ziggy. We all scratched open the bags. Food bulged out of the wound. We all reached in, and started eating. I chewed up a yellow fruity thing. To my surprise, it tasted good! I gulped it down. "This stuff is good, Ziggy!" said Acorn Tree as she chewed on a rotting piece of meat. The others nodded in agreement. "See? I told you that garbage tasted good!" said Ziggy. "Thanks for leading us here, Ziggy!" said I. "You're very welcome. Now, I must get back home. I didn't sleep at all today." said Ziggy. "Bye, Ziggy!" chorused us bears. "Bye!" replied Ziggy as he walked away. "Nice raccoon!" said Amber Mist. "He is!" said I. We ate and ate. Soon, we were stuffed. We continued our search for the circus. We walked and walked. "Look, y'all! Look! I found the circus!" exclaimed Amber Mist. The rest of us looked up. Sure enough, Amber Mist was right. The circus shone down about forty moose lengths away!

Chapter 24
My eyes were wide in gratitude. We finally made it at the circus. We stared at the big, colorful, pointy cave. We saw that the humans were sleeping about thirty wolf lengths away in smaller, but just as colorful caves. About twenty deer lengths away from the big cave, there stood the cages with animals inside of them. "Follow me. Be very quiet!" whispered I. The others nodded. We walked silently towards the cages. The animals were really bizarre looking. There were two big cougars with long hair on their head and neck. There were three big orange cougars with black stripes. The re were four tiny, wooly dogs. There were two seals...and my son! "Talon Of Mighty Eagle! Thank Spirit Tribe that we found you!" exclaimed Amber Mist. "Who's there?" growled a striped cougar. "Bears! More bears!" barked a seal. "Let me introduce us! I'm Nova Lee, this is Acorn Tree, over here is Ash Fall, the one next to me is Amber Mist, and over there is Black Storm. My son is Talon Of Mighty Eagle, and he's inside of that cage!" explained I. "Talon Of Mighty Eagle?!?! The bear in that cage is Arland!" laughed the hairy cougar. "Arland?!?! You don't understand, he's my son! Humans stole him from me! His name is Talon Of Mighty Eagle, and we're bringing him back to his home!" exclaimed I. "The circus IS Arland's home!" barked a seal. "That's right! I am home!" shouted Talon Of Mighty Eagle. I stared at my son in terrible shock. "You mean, you LIKE it here?!?!" asked Ash Fall in disbelief. "I LOVE it! I don't have to forage for food anymore, I get a roof over my head, I'm now extremely popular, I'm pampered, and I'm friends with the less important circus beasts!" replied Talon Of Mighty Eagle. "Hey! Watch it!" growled a dog. "Yeah, my name is Arland, the lions over there are Leo and Roary, the tigresses over there are Stripe and Claws and Fang, the poodles over there are Francis and Frizzy and Barky and Nipper, the seals over there are Sleak and Bleak. We all perform for the humans. The seals bite horns and jump off of diving boards to land in a pool of water, the lions act big and ferocious at the lion tamers, the tigeresses jup through hoops, the poodles dance around in tutus, and I ride around in a circle on a tricycle. The people cheer for us every single day! There's no better place on earth!" said Talon Of Mighty Eagle. "But son, you have to go back to the forest with us!" exclaimed Black Storm. "Your sisters miss you!" exclaimed Amber Mist. "The whole tribe misses you!" exclaimed Acorn Tree. "Your chief misses you!" exclaimed Ash Fall. "WE miss you!" exclaimed Black Storm. "I miss you!" exclaimed I. "I'm never coming back! Go away! Get out of my sight!" snarled Talon Of Mighty Eagle. I stared at my son in horror. Was I going to lose my son to the humans forever?

Chapter 25
"Look, Talon Of Mighty Eagle, we traveled all this was to find you! We went through all the trouble and risked our lives, so that we can bring you home. We love you! Those humans that captured you, only want you for entertainment. Is this how you want to spend the rest of your life? Entertaining a bunch of selfish humans?" said Amber Mist. "Yes!!! Now, get out of sight and stay away from me! I don't need you wild beasts! Now, go away and never come back!" snarled Talon Of Mighty Eagle. "Sonny, don't love us anymore?" said I in a quiet voice. "No!!! YOU were the one that told me to leave the tribe! I'm many moose lengths away from the tribe! That's what you wanted isn't it?" screamed Talon Of Mighty Eagle. "I'm sorry that I told you to go away from the tribe. What I said was wrong. I DO want you home. We ALL do. Can you forgive me?" said I. "I don't forgive you! You stinking pile of skunk dung! My mind is made up! The circus is my home! Now, beat it or I'll call Mel and Hank!" snarled Talon Of Mighty Eagle. "Who are Mel and Hank?" asked Amber Mist. "They're the humans that work for the circus and look after us. Mel is the works with us animals, and Hank is the ringmaster. They're really nice folk, but they don't take kindly to trespassers. That's why, you wild bears must leave before they catch you." said Roary. "Roary's right, you bears better leave before our owners catch you all." said Stripe. "Yeah, leave!" growled Francis." "You don't want our humans to catch you all." barked Sleak. "You heard those lower animals, SCRAM!!!" snarled Talon Of Mighty Eagle. Tears formed in my eyes. My son doesn't love me anymore! "Aww, are you going to cry now? Cry you big crycub!" laughed Talon Of Mighty Eagle. "Shut up, you stupid brat! My best friend is crying because of all the low down things you were saying! You know something? You can stay here and rot behind those cage bars! I don't care about you anymore! Want some filthy humans kissing your tail, that's fine by me!" snarled Ash Fall. Talon Of Mighty Eagle glared at her with bared teeth. "Don't worry about him. The humans will take care of him. At least until he gets old." said Fang. All of us bears looked at Fang. "When he get old? What do you mean?" asked Black Storm. "It'll happen to all of us circus animals. Sooner or later, we all will get old. As soon as we get old, the humans will kill us." said Leo in a grim voice. I stared at the lion in horror. "They'll kill you all when you all get old?!?!?! Why would they want to kill you all as soon as you all get old?" asked Amber Mist in shock. "If we get old, we won't be able to perform as well as we used to. The humans want strong performing animals, not feeble elders." barked Bleak. "NO!!! It can't be!!! They're going to kill me?!?!?!" shouted Talon Of Mighty Eagle. "Only when you get old! Do you have kibble in your ears?!?!?!" growled Barky. "But, I'm going to get old some day! I can't be killed! I just can't!" exclaimed Talon Of Mighty Eagle in panic. "So, does this mean that you'll come home?" asked Black Storm. "Yes! I take that back! The circus isn't my home, the tribe is! Get me out of here!" shouted Talon Of Mighty Eagle. My heart was filled with joy. My son wants to go home! "How do we get you out?" asked Amber Mist. "Easy, all you need to do is get the keys. Keys are the small, flat, shiny stuff. You put it through the lock. The lock is what keeps the cage closed. "And, just where ARE the keys?" asked Amber Mist. "There in the small trailer where the humans are." said Roary in a dark voice.

Chapter 26
My mouth fell open. Just how are we going to get the keys without waking up the humans? "Yeah, the keys are hung up on the other side on that door. The humans are inside of there." said Leo. "How in the world are we going to get those keys?!?!?!" exclaimed Ash Fall. "I have an idea. I can roar and pretend to be hurt. You bears hide behind that trailer. While I roar my loudest roar, you bears open up the door and grab the keys. I'll continue to roar and pretend to be injured while you bears release Talon Of Mighty Eagle." said Stripe. "That's a great idea! But, we should release the rest of y'all too." said I. "No, we're exotic animals. We came from other continents. This country is too foreign for us to live. So, we're better off living the circus life. You bears just release Talon Of Mighty Eagle, and be on your way." barked Sleak. "And, some of us are poodles. Everyone wants a beautiful dog. So, when we get old, we'll be sold to other humans." barked Francis. "Okay, if that's what y'all want." said Black Storm. "Now, you bears run behind that trailer." said Stripe. My traveling mates and I ran behind the trailer. My heart pounded very hard. I have never been so nervous in all of my life. "ROARRRRRRRRRRR!!!" roared Stripe. A few moments later, we heard pounding foot steps inside of the trailer. We heard the door fly open the humans ran out of the trailer. The humans were heading over towards Stripe's cage. We snuck over towards the trailer door. We walked quietly. We walked closer and closer towards the door. We made it to the door. Stripe roared very loudly. My finger like toes on my forepaws clasped the doorknob. I turned the doorknob. I opened up the door. I reached my paw inside of the trailer. I touched the other side of the door. I felt around for the keys. I felt them and grabed them. I lifted them off of the hook thing. I pulled my paw out. I saw that I got the keys. "I got them!" whispered I to my traveling mates. I snuck quietly towards my son's cage on my hind paws. "Keep quiet. The humans are near us." whispered I to my son. I put one key through the lock hole and turned it. It won't turn. I tried the second key and put it through the hole and turned it. It won't turn either. Getting really nervous, I tried the last key and putit through the hole. I turned it. It turned! The upside down U on the lock opened. I quietly took the lock off of the cage. I opened up the door. Talon Of Mighty Eagle ran out of the cage. My traveling mates ran after him. "Thank y'all so much!" whispered I to the circus animals. "You all are very welcome." whispered Stripe. I ran after towards my son and traveling mates. Mission acomplished! My son, my traveling mates, and I were finally heading for home!

Chapter 27
We ran many pawsteps away from the circus. I thanked Spirit Tribe that we made it out alive. Now, all we needed to do is to get out of the human land. We ran like we never ran before. "I'm glad that I'm out of that dump!" exclaimed Talon Of Mighty Eagle. "We all are very glad that we got you out." said Black Storm. "Well, I'm not!" growled Ash Fall. I stared at her in shock. "What did you say, you filthy bear?!?!?!" snarled Talon Of Mighty Eagle. "I don't understand why we ever helped you excape! You're ungrateful, you're spiteful, you're sadistic, you're a terrible brat, you treat us like crap, and, not to mention, you're vile!" snarled Ash Fall. Without warning, Talon Of Mighty Eagle tackled Ash Fall to the ground. My son raised his claws and scored my best friend's chin. "Take back what you said or I'll tear you apart!" snarled Talon Of Mighty Eagle. Ash Fall pushed my son off of her. "NEVER!!!" bellowed Ash Fall. Just then, Black Storm pounced onto Talon Of Mighty Eagle. "Son, you have made a big mistake! A true warrior never attacks a fellow tribe mate! Especially if the tribe mate is older than you! When we get home, I'm going to tell Red Wood that you attacked Ash Fall. Red Wood NEVER tolerates attacking fellow tribe mates!" growled Black Storm. "Fine, tell him! I don't give a flying white tailed buck!" growled Talon Of Mighty Eagle as he shrugged. "You should!" snapped Black Storm. "Why don't ya make me?" spat my son. "You see? This is why I didn't want y'all to save Talon What's His Face's tail! He thinks he's high and mighty, and he treats us like his apprentices!" growled Ash Fall. "One more word out of you, I'll-" snarled Talon Of Mighty Eagle. "Enough! Let's just consentrate on going home before the humans see us!" interrupted I. The others dipped their heads in agreement. Even Talon Of Mighty Eagle. We continued to run. A bunch of startled humans saw us, but left us alone. We ran and ran. Then, I skidded to a hault. "What's wrong?" asked Acorn Tree and Amber Mist at the same time. "I SMELL THE CIRCUS HUMANS!!!" roared I.

Chapter 28
"We got to run!!!" shouted Black Storm. "We got to hide!!!" shouted Acorn Tree. "We got to be vicious!!!" shouted Ash Fall. "Hey, what's all of this racket?" demanded a voice. We looked down, and saw Ziggy!" "The circus humans are after my son!!! I can't let them take him away from me agian!!!" shouted I in a desperate voice. "Don't worry, I'll help. If there's one thing that humans hate, it's miscievious raccoons. I'll create a derversion while you bears run as fast a you can from the circus folk." chittered Ziggy. "You'll do that? Oh, thank you, Ziggy!" said Amber Mist in a grateful voice. "I can smell them. I'll run over towards them and leap on them, and you bears get out of the city as fast as you can." chattered Ziggy. I gave Ziggy a grateful lick on the head. Ziggy picked up the circus humans' scent and ran over towards them. After saying our good-byes to Ziggy, my gang and I ran as fast as we could. We needed to get out of the city fast. Real fast. We ran and ran. After what seemed like moons, we finally made it out of the human land! We all cheered. Then, I grimanced. We got out of one patch of human land, now we need to get throught the other.

Chapter 29
Moons has past. We're getting closer to home. It was dawn. We just woken up and had breakfast. We walked and walked. "Phew, I'm glad we're almost home!" sighed Ash Fall. "We still have ways away. We still have to get past the other human land and we still have six moons worth a walk." said I. "Ugh, my paws are about to fall off!" exclaimed Amber Mist. "You'll live." said Black Storm. "I hope we get through the other human land okay." said Acorn Tree in a worried voice. "We will. We'll be okay." said I. "I sure hope so." said Acorn Tree. We walked and walked. We walked past two squirrels arguing with each other, we walked past two robins playing tug-of-war with a thick earthworm, we walked past a groundhog digging a burrow, we walked past dragonflies dancing in the air, and we walked past a fox chasing after a rabbit. Then, I saw something that made me skid to a hault. "What's wrong?" demanded Ash Fall. The human land, it's beyond that horizon." said I in a grim voice. The others saw it too. "Great, we finally close to the wretched land!" growled Ash Fall. "Wait a minute, last time, we went around the human land!" said Amber Mist. "That's right! We did!" exclaimed Acorn Tree. "I know, but I just thought of something, I want to see how Lion's doing. I want to see if he's okay." said I. "Nova Lee's right, we should go see Lion. The poor little guy was grief-stricken when we last saw him." said Black Storm. "Yeah, we should go see Lion." said Acorn Tree. Ash Fall and Amber Mist grumbled, but nodded in agreement. "Alright, it's settled. We're going into the human land." said I. With that, we headed on over to the human land.

Chapter 30
We walked about three hundred pawsteps into Lion's human land. We were getting closer and closer to Lion's house. We walked and walked. We walked past a murder of crows dining on a dead opossum, we walked past barking dogs, we walked past a flock of gray cooing birds, we walked past a bunch of flies, and we walked past speeding rolling boulders. After a few more pawsteps later, we made it to Lion's house. We sat in front of the house. A few more seconds later, Lion came out of his pet door. We saw another cat came out of it too. A pretty ginger she-cat with long fur and ice blue eyes. "Hey! It's you Native American bears agian! Ash Fall, you're back! Ah, this handsome young fellow is Talon Of Mighty Eagle! Nice to see you all agian!" purred Lion. "Hi, Lion! It's nice to see you agian too! Who's this cat with you?" asked I. "This is Jewel. My humans were really sad when they saw Sheena's lifeless body, and they saw how lonely I was. So, they got me another companion." meowed Lion. "H-hi." stammered Jewel. "Hi Jewel." said I. "Lion told me all about you six bears. I'm g-glad to finally meet you all." mewed Jewel in a shy voice. "We were wondering if Lion's okay." said Amber Mist. "I'm okay. I know that Sheena's in a better place. Jewel is keeping me company. I still miss Sheena, but I'll know that I'll be reunited with Sheena some day." meowed Lion. I saw that my son was glaring at the cats with exposed teeth. I shot him a warning glare. "What's wrong with you?" asked Lion to my son. "I just realized that I hate cats!" snarled Talon Of Mighty Eagle. "TALON OF MIGHTY EAGLE!!!" roared Black Storm. "Y-y-y-y-youn h-h-h-hate me?" stammered Jewel with a hurt look on her face. "You hate us? What did we ever do to you?" asked Lion with a hurt look on his face. "You two are related to cougars!!!" snarled Talon Of Mighty Eagle. "But, we're not cougars." said Lion in a quiet voice. Jewel began to cry. "Son, apologize to the cats right now!!!" snarled Black Storm. "NEVER!!!" bellowed Talon Of Mighty Eagle. Black Storm punched Talon Of Mighty Eagle in the head. "Sorry!" muttered Talon Of Mighty Eagle to the cats as he clasped his head. "Um, I think we should leave." said I. "Okay, come agian soon." mewed Lion. After saying our good-byes to the cats, we continued to head home.
