Chapter 19 Summary

Fear in the Dark

Hazel and Pipkin begin digging burrows in the woods. A few of the others come to help. Hazel, Bigwig, Dandelion and Speedwell go to graze at the bottom of the hill. Hazel and Bigwig discuss building a large burrow like the one they had in the warren of the snares. They decide to have Strawberry help because he is from that warren. They hear a loud and unfamiliar noise and run into a covered ditch. The noise continues and they realize it is a rabbit screaming. He is screaming, "All dead, and all destroyed!" The rabbit is yelling for Bigwig, but Hazel tries to prevent him from going. Bigwig and Dandelion investigate and find a rabbit hunched over. It is Captain Holly, the Owsla from their original warren.
