Back with Connor's group, Connor was leading the charge trying to meet up with Caleb's group, while he knew Spark was okay, he still had a little fear that something bad might happen to her against a skin walker.
"Connor, don't run so far ahead, we're all worried about them." Miranda said as she ran beside Amara.
"I know, but skin walkers are a serious...maaa...!!!" Connor began to say before tripping over something as he ran backward and fell a few feet into the ground.
"Connor!" Amara, Miranda, and Calisa all said as they went to check on him. They went to see what Connor had fallen into and were relieved to see him sitting up groaning from a little fall.
"What did he fall into?" Amara asked. "A pit shelter," Agent Greg Wesker, answered. "It's a shelter for the ground, primarily people will make one for shelter."
"So, who made this one?" Connor asked looking up at the others. "I did." A male voice said from behind him. Connor looked behind him to see a male deer man standing in a defensive position with a deer woman behind him in a feeble position, her legs looking like they had been badly scratched.
"Get out now, I don't care who you are, but...." The deer man said looking like he was about to attack Connor.
"Wait! We're friends of your daughter, Chenoa. Your shaman asked me to conduct a search for you." Calista said.
"It's true, we've been to Chenoa's god parents house, Goldie and Bear Jr., Chenoa gave Mrs. Locke a great big hug when she saw her." Miranda said.
The deer man relaxed himself and nodded his head knowing that these people were telling the truth.
"I am Tokala, this is my wife, Maka. We had heard about that 'Kane' hunter not too long ago. We split from our daughter for safety. We wanted to return sooner to her, but we were delayed. A skin walker began chasing us as we tried moving during the night should any hunters be out, even Kane. It nearly got my wife by the legs, it scratched her and I had to make this pit for safety. The last few days have been a struggle. I've been keeping my wife in best health, but we need to take her to Goldie and Bear, they have good medicine and good protection from the elements and enemies of the woods. But I couldn't risk carrying her for fear of damaging her." Tokala explained.
"My friends and I are magic, I don't think I'm able to, but some of my other friends have magic, we could levitate her there." Miranda said. Tokala looked pleased and nodded as he went to check again on Maka.
"I'm glad we found them, now we can get Chenoa and Miles away from where they are. Hopefully they haven't run into that skin walker." Amara sighed.
"What did you say?" Tokala asked.
"My brother Miles, he's with your daughter now and a few of our other magic friends are also out here. We were looking for you and just found out about the skin walker." Miranda explained.
"No, not skin walker, skin walkers. We've been evading two skin walkers. Tell your friends to come here now, you need all the magic you have against these." Tokala said as they all heard a screeching noise from the far distant.
