"Ares, one of us has to go and hunt, au we'll all starve! wewe can't make me stand here forever." alisema Nabara. "I know... I just don't want them finding us. I'll go, I failed to see the plan to drive us out. If I get caught, I deserve it." Ares said. "Ares, whatever wewe say au do, i'm with you. I'm coming with you, and there's nothing wewe can do au say to stop me." Claudette told him. Ares sighed.

After leaving to go hunt, they both found a spot about ten dakika away from their little camp they made. It was a inside the border that was once Ares's territory, so they had to be extra careful. "Ares? I found a squirrel over there! Let me go get it." alisema Claudette. Ares watched, and then turned away as he smelled something himself. "Hmm...." he mumbled. When the smell drifted away, he decided it was pointless. But as he turned back around, he saw a mbwa mwitu standing there, with two humans, onw of which had his foot pressing really hard on Claudette's muzzle so she couldn't talk. The other human was getting ready to get some sort of weapon out to obviously hurt au worse, kill her.

"Ahh, wewe see, Ares? wewe cannot run away from me." alisema Malin. "No! Let go of her! Erragh!" He grunted as he pushed all his strength into leaping at the human holding Claudette down, but instead, was knocked backwards kwa Malin. "Agh! Uh... Don't hurt her... take me, kill me, not Claudette. She hasn't done anything to you. Leave her alone." Ares demanded.

"Never, this will be your suffering... watching your loved one be tortured." Malin said, and as he swished his tail and two zaidi men came out of the trees and held Ares down. "No!" He screamed as they wrapped a snare wire around Claudette's neck, attached it to a thick mti branch, and left her there, hopeless and choking. "No! No! Please! Let her go! This isn't fair to her! I... i'm sorry, Claudette... this is my faul- AHH!" Ares cut off as one of the men stabbed a needle of something in his neck. "Uh... What was that?" He asked Malin. "It was a liquid that makes wewe very stiff and tired, and wewe can't get up and do anything. Eventually you'll fall asleep." alisema Malin. "No... Claudette, please listen to me... if I would've just kept wewe at camp..." he panted. She looked at Ares, terrified and half passed out. "Don't worry, we are only knocking her out as well, even thought it may seem chokaa we are trying to choke her. She is just suffering while she passes out, and it takes longer." alisema Malin.

"I... can't... feel..." is all Ares managed to say before he fell asleep.

When Ares woke up, Claudette was staring into his eyes, pleading for him to wake up. "Thank god! Your awake!" She said. "Agh..... where's Malin?" Ares asked. She shrugged. A man walked over to them, but he seemed younger than the rest. "Looking for me?" He asked Ares. "Hey what the? wewe speak... wolf?" Ares asked. "Yes, Ares. I am, after all, Malin." alisema the human. "What? How...?" Asked Claudette. Malin laughed. "Ahh, wewe see, I am a shape-shifter. But I am mostly a wolf." alisema Malin. "And, as wewe would want to know, we will all agree to wewe having a proper exile, as wewe havn't had one, because wewe ran away before we could properly exile you. Lets start. Ares, Claudette, for your improper ruling and judgement, wewe will be exiled. If wewe are seen, anyone has the right to kill wewe on sight. Now get out!" Yelled Malin.

Ares and Claudette left, back to the camp.

"So, how did it go?" Asked Beke.
