In his seventh day, Coal decided to use another approaching method instead of just throwing the stone and then ran.

The thin creature had caught him red-hand once before and he wasn't sure whether it would be the last or not if he decided to use the same tactic again. He at that time had already had enough understanding about the thin creature but still knew absolutely nothing about the wooden cave, his main target.

If he guessed correctly, his food and water would started to run out very quickly in 3 days until there was nothing left.

He had to act quickly. The longer he postponed the problem, the harder it would become for him and he didn't want to regret it. Why he had to bet everything he had in haste just to be turned into a pile of bruised meat when it was already too late? When he had had so many opportunities to do so in the past?

Firstly, he would somehow lure the thin creature out of the wooden cave and then snuck in while the wooden tall hole still open. That day, he would take a look inside of the cave and looking for food while the next day he would look out for water. That was his plan back then.

But he still felt a little uneasy. In his first day, he could just get his job done and escaped into the woods if things turned worse, it was quite simple and the thin creature still didnt't know anything about him back then.

But his current situation then was complete opposite with it was in the past. It make him doubted about the doable of the plan. He stills had too many uncertains and it depended too much on the creature behavior.

Where could he escape to when he was still in the wooden cave, what if the thin creature decided to came back, before he could even escape the cave and it closed the tall hole?

He didn't know, he didn't want to think about it either...

But suddenly, Coal realized how stupid he was.

'Oh!'

'It could be possible', he thought.

He could just change his plan a little bit and it would be perfect! Well, instead of ...somehow lure the thin creature out of the cave, he could do it himself!

He would first lure it out by provoking it.

How?

He thought it was simple, really. He would only need to hire a profession and slowly, handed over the responsibility to him.

Coal's hand reached out to the stone near his place. Put it down on top of stone pile appeared from nowhere, and made it a perfect triangle stone pile.

Well, maybe not 'him', but 'them'...

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

But nevermind. He would have to destroy all the holes he saw anyway. And the thin creature would go out of its cave and chase him down until one of them was death.

He would dig a tunnel in a hard-to-see location somewhere near his running track and dissapeared in a matter of seconds while running, and after that crawled back into the cave. Destruction destroyed the wooden cave while the thin creature was still looking for him stupidly in the bush!

How about that then? Who was smarter than who then?

'Perfect! Hurray rabbit.' Coal thought.

***

Just a few minutes after Coal started digging the tunnel, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten a very important detail in his plan.

That was how to escape the wooden cave in case the thin creature decided to come back when Coal was still in there.

Actually, the answer was quite simple. In his second and third day, he had discovered that there were some things looked tall and made by wood near the two holes on the front side of the wooden cave. He could use them to climb out of the holes, which in his first part of plan he had to destroyed to provoke the thin creature.

Or maybe jumped out, he is a rabbit after all.

And then, time pased quickly and the afternoon came. Coal decided it was the right time for him to act after checking whether the holes were still orange or not.

He came out of his hiding place, approached and stopped right in front of the wooden fences, stakes and prepared himself in his threw stance.

The first two stupid rocks missed their target, instead of hitting the ice holes they hit the wooden part of the cave. But the third great stone are difference, it flew like a superhero, wreaking havoc the ice on the hole and flew right straight into the cave.

Moved by the great stone's heroic act. Non-stop, Coal threw every universal stone in his leather makeshift bag at the wooden cave holes, in quick succession.

Only after he broke most of the ice holes, leaving only one hole still intact.

The tall wooden hole in the middle of the cave's front side violently smashed open, destroyed a part of the piece of wood attached to it.

The thin creature lunged out even faster than before, with a speed that could be called supersonic while deftly dodging the man-killer stones and its own wooden objects as skillful as an eel.

Its two higher legs hold two long sticks which had a bunch of hay on its end, on each leg, while spreading out liked a pair of eagle wings, readied to fly down catching its prey... Whipping non-stop at the position which Coal just left few seconds ago.

Actually, while the thin creature was still wreatched evading the super stone and its wooden objects. Coal could have run a long distance, but he decided to do the opposite.

He lazily turn his head, his mouth curved into a smile while his tounge out and his finger spread out near his face. He then turn his body around, showed the creature his perfect bottom. Wiggling his very short tail and then continuted the running.

Enraged, the creature looked at Coal with its ferociously red eyes but couldn't kill him with them. So, it then threw one of the long sticks on its higher leg away with a deadly speed like a javelin, flew toward at Coal's direction. And started chasing Coal once again.

Still leisurely running, Coal unable to aware about the danger lurking behind his tail.

Suddenly, a long stick which the thin creature used to hold on it higher legs appeared from nowhere. Plunged diagonally down to the ground, right between his legs slicing across his tail with only few degrees off and cutting of few of his tail threads.

Confused, Coal looked back but only to see a horrible scene. The thin creature was about to threw the second one while shouting something he couldn't understand toward him. But.

...

I will pluck you out and make you turn into my porridge tonight!!

Dammit! Give me back all of my expensive mirror windows!!! >

...

Yeah, it was just spewing sh*t anyway. And Coal couldn't care much less.

What he cared at that time was only running for his life. After seeing the second fearsome javelin, "broom", which he latter knew by asking Lyla, flying in his direction once again.
