Chapter 10 sorry for not posting things have been really crazy round here

I was by Dito, who I thought was the leader of the group till all the others started saying their thoughts and doing what they pleased. He had told me how to slow my breathing so it looked as if I was just a rock. I was confused as to what was going on. None of it made sense. If a cat could pin a wolf why would we all hide? Did Craterday and Coil know what was happening? Is that why Craterday shoved me up to go by Dito? And why did Coil pull Stem in the cave with him? What's going on? I wanted to ask Dito but seven mean looking wolves came out of the forest. Two looked completely black, three were brown and two were grey. One of the black wolves had green eyes the other had brown. All three brown wolves had slightly different color yellow eyes. The grey wolves both had blue eyes.
No one talked but out of the corner of my eye I saw Mroto draw back the stick with string and carefully place the feathered stick on it. How did these animals hold such weapons? Why not just use your claws and fangs? Dito hadn't moved yet and I had no sight of Coil, Stem, or Tinko. I could just barely see where Kinto was and he made no move like me and Dito. Craterday was gone, nowhere to be seen.
Mroto aimed his weapon right at the lead black wolf with the green eyes. I didn't know if Tinko could aim his without being seen or not and I still had no clue about Craterday who seemed to always have surprises. Mroto flicked her tail and three feathered sticks shot out and hit three of the seven wolves in the head. The lead black wolf and both grey wolves. Still Kinto and Dito didn't move. So that meant Tinko and Craterday shot as well.
Mroto moved across the branch to a new passion as the group looked around to where she was before. Dito looked at me, "stay put. Let 'em move. They best shooters." Which I believe went without saying. They all made decent shots. As Mroto moved I lost sight of her but I did see Craterday for a small amount of time before I didn't again.
Tinto must have moved but I didn't know. He was directly below me. Again three feathered sticks shot out but only one hit. One of the brown ones dropped dead I'd think. The other two landed at their paws. As the rest tried to run Dito signaled to jump down and Kinto came out. In no time Coil, Stem, Tinto, Mroto, and Craterday were all out. We had them surrounded but why? I didn't know.
"What do you want Dito?" The remaining black wolf asks him. Well he didn't necessarily ask, he more or less demanded it and growled at him.
"Back to you, Konter." Dito asks him quite calmly. Very calm in that matter.
Konter looks at him. He gave him like an evil stare. "Trying to speak with you know who." The wolves that attached use at the start looked at one another.
"What do you have to do with Lert and Neako?" Mroto asks. She got strange looks from the three remaining wolves' eyes went right to the cat. I heard something pull back and the rest apparently did too. "Arrow pulled back! Everyone split!" Mroto once again jumps to the trees. I went with Craterday this time. Dito and Coil ran to the top of the cave. Tinko and Kinto ran into the cave. Stem after a small freeze ran into the cave as well.
"What's an arrow?" I had no choice but to ask it. Otherwise more questions would come out and he seemed to know it too.
"It's what's pulled back from the bow." He looked back to see my clear confusion. I knew he knew I had no clue what either were. "You know when Dito and I first came out? What we were holding was a bow. On the bow is an arrow." I knew what he was talking about now. And as I thought about what he was talking about I realized that he was not even close to where I was standing.
"Why are you moving so fast? You know I'm still not used to so much,'' I couldn't finish or I'd have some trouble. Craterday had pinned me on the ground with this paw at my throat. "Wh-what a-are y-you d-do-doin-doing." I could hardly form any words. He was starting to scare me. Why would he attack me? Did I do something wrong? Is someone near that I didn't hear?
"Shut up and act like I'm trying to kill you." He growled at me. I was confused but did as he said. I tried to yell for help but no noise came out. I tried struggling out but I couldn't. A group looks at us and nods their head in almost what looked like approval as he was 'trying to kill me' but not really.
He finally let's off me and looks around. Then he helps me up.
"Mind explaining? You could've just killed me!" He looked at me with question in his eyes then understanding.
"Well you're alive ain't you? So I didn't kill you." He looks away and continues forward. All I knew is that as soon as the group split we entered the woods.
Soon the woods ended and we were on grasslands for a bit before we started climbing up a cliff. Craterday made sure I was at least one jump in front of him.
I didn't know why but I knew there would and there had to be an explanation for why we all left the forest and split.
