Chapter 16 Bear Run

I stood there in shock. The Balkas member stood there in shock. My heart had stopped. I was waiting to get attacked. The Balkas member just stood there. There was surprise and relief in his face. There was surprise and relief in all of there faces.

I bolted then all of a sudden. A Balkas barked, "Get him!" I dashed has fast as I could. I ran and ran and ran. The Balkas were following me. They were in every shadow. They were behind every rock, tree, and log. I ran faster. The group of Balkas was always behind me. I had to keep on going. I had to lose them some how. I had to outrun them and find Moge.

I wasn't watching were I was going and I fell in a small ditch. I lay there panting. Then with a flurry. The Balkas group jumped over the ditch and kept on going. Maybe they didn't see me fall in the ditch. I stood back up and shook myself. Then I heard a roar in the direction the Balkas had come. I turned my head very slowly. There coming down the hill was a bear. Then without hesitation. I bolted after the Balkas.

The bear chased me. The Balkas must have angered the bear and now it mistaked me for one of them. The bear chased me without tiring. I on the other hand started to slow down and wish an adult wolf were here to save me. I turned a corner and hit behind a bolder. Luckily the bear just went running past the boulder and was still after the Balkas.

I sat there panting. I decided I would rest up and get on with moving in the morning. Little did I know that the chase was not over.
