Confused, Norman turned around. He was surprised that Tiberius hadn't gotten out of the shed to try catching him. He could hear the sounds of struggling inside the shed but he couldn't see anything going on with how dark it was. Gulping, the guinea pig glanced over at the air vent before heading back over to the shed.

In his attempt to catch Norman, Tiberius had unknowingly gotten his chain tangled up around himself and the branches in the shed. Now here he was writhing on the ground as he struggled to free himself. However, he only made the situation worse as the loop of chain around his neck grew tighter and tighter. Gasping for air at this point, he pulled harder. At that moment, Norman came back inside the shed.

"Hey, it's okay. I'm gonna-" Norman started explaining. Tiberius didn't let him finish as he lunged forward and snapped. The young guinea pig jumped back as the old red tailed hawk began choking again. The chain had become even tighter around his neck. Seeing the hood on his head, Norman reached up and pulled it off. He found himself looking into a pair of light brown eyes wide with fear and pain.

Seeing the guinea pig now, Tiberius weakly snarled as he stretched his head as far as he could go in order to grab Norman. However, the tight chain restrained him. Choking, the old hawk collapsed on the floor. He could barely breathe. Cautiously approaching the red tail, Norman patted him gently on the shoulder as he mumbled, "I'm gonna help you." The only reply he got was raspy breathing.

He needed to hurry.

Climbing over the hawk's back, Norman looked at the chain that was wrapped around Tiberius's body. He couldn't pull on the parts around his neck or chest. Noticing that the chain was clasped to the hawk's right leg, the young guinea pig bounded over and unclasped it. Then he quickly ran over to the red tail's head. Grasping the chain, he gently pulled it off. No longer choking, Tiberius gasped for air and coughed. Able to breathe, he looked down at Norman.

Without warning, the hawk grabbed the guinea pig.
