An hour has passed, and Miro hears thunder in the distance. As he walks, his wounds start to drip blood from the stabbing of Dra. While walking, Miro found a large hollow tree. Miro sniffs the tree but can't smell anything, so Miro slowly walks into the tree, sits Mira and Axle down, and then sits down at the entrance and tries to go to sleep but can't. Miro then starts pacing outside the hollow tree and wonders what he should do next; he then walks back into the tree to check on Mira and Axle. The two of them were still asleep until it started thundering. Then, without warning, Mira jumps up and slams into the wall in a flash.
Miro rushed to Mira and tried to hold back the laughter and ask if she was OK. She nods yes while rubbing her blushed face.
Miro finally asked why did she disappear, and then it went quiet Miro asked again, but Mira wouldn't answer but shook her head.
Miro sighed, looked at Axle, and laid his forehead on Axle "he's burning up. I need to get his fever down, but how?"
Mira was fumbling around inside the tree and came upon Axle; she was startled. She patted down on Axle and leaned forward, and smelled him.
She noticed Miro's scent on him and a whiff of blood as well. Mira gasped and thought Miro killed an innocent. So she yelled Miro's name and started flailing her arms in the air and made contact with Miro and started hitting him and yelling and screaming. "I thought we had a deal, and you promised me" on the final hit Miro caught her paw, pushed against the wall, held her there, and asked, "why are you hitting me" with an angry tone.
Mira was whimpering, crying, then Miro loosened his grip and grasped Mira's face and asked, "Mira, what's wrong, what did I do?" The rain was picking up, and Mira finally spoke: "who is that on the floor, and why did he have to die?" In an instant, Miro forgot to tell the situation.
"Mira, I'm sorry that I made you cry, the little one over there."
"I went deeper into the woods to look for you. But, unfortunately, I couldn't pick up your scent."
I heard something behind me as I searched, so I turned around and grabbed the little one by the throat. I was going to let go until."
"His sister knocked me out and took me into a cave and held me, prisoner."
I escaped by snatching her brother as a hostage."
as I ran, I forgot to let go of him and bit him by accident while escaping, and now he's a high fever, and I'm trying to get it to go down."
Mira went quiet, the rain picked up, and the sound of thunder was rumbling, then Mira tried to run out of the tree, but Miro caught her before she ran into the wall again.
Miro knew Mira was upset. Mira tried to make out words, but instead, she was baying and crying, so Miro looked at her and said, "I'm not upset, and I won't break my promise" then Miro drew her close and swept her off her feet and brought her to Axle.
Miro grabs Mira's paw and puts it against Axle's chest "you feel that he's alive, but if I don't get his fever down, he won't make it through the night" after explaining to Mira, Miro noticed the walls of the tree. It hit him "an alder tree, a big one at that" Miro sat Mira beside Axle and told her to stay inside of the tree and keep Axle warm while he searched for materials and ingredients for Axle fever; she nods yes.
Before Miro left, Mira grabbed Miro's fur and pulled him to her, and whispered, "I'm sorry, Miro" then she kissed Miro on the cheek and let go of him.
Miro rubs his nozzle against Mira's cheeks, and she smiles, and then Miro walks outside the hollowed tree.
