"Ben," I whispered at the halfbreed camp, "Ben I know you hear me! Help an old friend, please!"
"What?" he hissed.
"Have you seen Seth? I can't find him; he left last night."
"He saw a young mongoose, shortly after you left to hunt. He wanted to help the sorry creature, so he went after it. He told me, If I were to see you, tell you to follow him, he's going to harmony. He told me, he'd wait at center valley for three days. When your group leaves in the morning, go there. I can't see you anymore, okay, stop talking to me, we are not back in the old days! You are not my ally." He spoke quietly and quickly, as if he were afraid of his little gang buddies.
With those words he turned away and wouldn't speak to me for the rest of the night.
"Kara!" I called, "Kara come here!"
She edged over to me, "What?" she asked, sounding sleepy.
"I know where Kovu is!" I told her, watching her expressiom change from tired, joy, to disbelief.
"How?" she questioned.
"An old friend told me. I asked about Seth, he told me seth was with a little mongoose. They are waiting for me, for us, in center valley!"
"Which is?" she asked suspiciously.
"Not a days journey from here, it's along the way! Quick, you tell Ariel, Sky, and Asuka, I'll inform Dani, Gray, and Lucy!" I whispered.
I tip-toed over to the wolf and bear half-breeds first.
"You guys! Hey wake up!" I poked Dani's head only, I was a bit unsure of how Gray would react to me, little miss temper, jabbing him on the forehead.
"What?" Dani said. Gray looked at me with interest.
"I know where Kovu and Seth are!" I said happily.
"Really?" I was surprised to hear Gray's voice asking the question.
"Yeah," I told them we're going to meet with them tomorrow, I'll give more details in the morning!"
I scooted over to Lucy.
"Hey! Lucy, I know where Seth and Kovu are!"
"That's great!" she squeaked.
"We're going to meet them tomorrow, I'll give more details in the morning. Good night!"
I went back to my spot, and slept.
