The first morning
When Bettrys and Bevyn woke up, mum and the other beavers were all eating the first meal of the night. They gave Bevyn and Bettrys the best bark wood to eat and mum told them they had to be strong now to get away from the bad thing.
They knew mum was right but it felt hard for Bettrys because she didn’t feel much like eating at all.

Mum and Banon, the wisest, oldest beaver mother in the forest told Bettrys and Bevyn about their plan to find them a new home because it wasn’t safe to go back. Bettrys felt sad, it was like the bad thing from the sky had all the power. It had thrown them out of their home and taken dad and Brac away.
It was a very bad, bad thing and Bettrys wished that the great Beaver, who could make the skies rumble and cut down the trees with a silver flash, would strike the bad thing in the sky to pieces.
