stopped. 

" My names Cervola, this is my husband Sterk, and our fawn Poza" Cerlova seemed tired. 

" Rest tonight, Trotzen will see you tomorrow" Palugit yawed. The Vita deer thought this sounded good, and needed a place to stay anyway. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Couper tried to pull her horns through the bars of the cage she was stuck in. 

" There's no point in doing that, your stuck here" Her cage mate a fallow deer called Luid was trying to get to sleep. Couper pulled a face behind his back. 

" I'm getting out!" She yelled, and with a new determination in her eyes, she pulled back as hard as she could, and then pushed forwards with all her energy. The bars of her cage came off, but Couper was still stuck with them around he neck. Luid woke up, and stared at her, his mouth dropping open. 

" Ya coming?" She asked. Luid nodded. Together, the two ran out the door, narrowly missing the scientists. Just as they left the building, the loose animals alarm went off, and Couper and Luid had to scarper. After hours of traveling, the twosome reached a dark forest. It looked more scary than welcoming, but the sound of hounds in the distance jolted all fears from the two. but now the easiness of the mission wore off, for the two reached a fast flowing river, and neither wanted to cross. In the middle of the river, a small duck was huddling up against a rock. It was clear that his family had been swept up by the river. Luid and Couper wanted to help. Couper thought she would have a better chance of survival if she went, for her legs were strong, like sheep and goats. Short. but used to traveling up hills and crossing rivers. For part of it, Couper was right, and she reached the duckling. The hard part was going to be getting the duck a new family. Couper persuaded the duck to climb onto her back, then made it safely across the water to the other side. The wrong side. Couper as tired, and had not the energy to get back across to Luid. So Luid decided to go across to Couper. Luid decided his best chance was to run across. Better not. He thought. Perhaps he could jump across the stones. It was worth a try. Luid jumped from stone to stone. But a lighting bolt struck the night sky, and Luid lost his concentration for a second, a second too long. In that second, Luid slipped off the rock and into the dark waters. He tried to struggle, but it was pointless. The current was too strong. It picked him up and threw him oer the edge. Down towards the bottem. Couper left the duck on shore and dived in after her best friend, but she too was swept over the edge. 

When she opened her eyes, she couldn't see Luid. She looked for him, but her eyesight was fuzzy. She shook her head. But It wasn't working. She suddenly realized the awful truth after nothing had worked. She was half blind. However, with her good eye, she still attempted to look for Luid. She staggered onto the lege, one of her legs had a nasty gash that went deep. She called for her friend. No answer. But she saw him near the edge of the stream, and ran to him, ignoring the shearing pain and blindness. Later, she would never speak again, for the still body of her friend was to blame. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luid opened his eyes. The world was black, lit by a lantern, with two doors, one red with flames, one gold with clouds.  He was in the passway before enerting Hearn, hell or purgatory, and 3 large bucks tood in front of him. Oneof the large bucks was white with bright white wings with gold tips was looking at him, two large antlers with a gold ring shing in them, all the perfects of the world reflecting in its beam. An angle. The other buck was violently red, the colour of blood. His antlers were shaped like a devils trident, with may points, and each point reflected war and murder and ect. A devil. The last buck was black with glowing black eyes. His antlers were larger than any buck ever known. He was not solid, and seemed to swirl round his own figure. Death. Death turned and walked away.  Luid started shaking. 

" You might as well come with me" The devil pointed towards hell. His voice sounded like the crackling fires of a bonfire, as do all devils. 

" He has done nothing wrong, and he may not go to any of these places" The angel spoke up. The angels voice sounded like many songbirds singing a sweet melody. The devil was confused. 

" He may be brought back to life, but only if he chooses. Otherwise he will go to heaven" The angle looked sharply at the devil. "

" Do you choose to go to earth and help your your friend? Or stay in heaven, and leave your friend, only helping her in spirit form?" The Angle asked. 

Luid gulped. Help his life long friend in death threating situations down on earth. Or go to heaven and help in spirit form? If he stayed alive, then died again, he might be stuck in nowhere, not even hell. And heavens' gates looked so inviting. Only one chance, and he could not make the wrong disision.
