The next morning, Holly recounts his travels to find the group. After surviving Sandleford's destruction by human hands, he travelled across the countryside looking for the group, before coming across an injured rabbit who warned him about a warren named "Efrafa", ruled by the enormous, scarred, and ruthless General Woundwart. Knowing that there will be fighting among the bucks over the one doe they have, Bigwig suggests raiding a nearby farm to recruit the does there, but Hazel disagrees. Kehaar, a seagull with an injured wing, suddenly crashes in front of the group, and Hazel befriends the bird in order to ask him to look for does. He flies off and returns with word of a nearby warren. Holly, Blackberry, and Bluebell are stopped by Efrafan soldiers and brought before General Woundwort, where their request for does is denied and they are imprisoned. The following night, Holly's group stages a breakout. Simultaneously, Hazel goes alone back to the farm, but finds that the cage has been moved indoors. He sneaks through the farmhouse and frees the does, but the farmers are alerted and give chase. While attempting to save Clover, Hazel is shot in the leg by the farmer and collapses into a storm drain. In a state of limbo, Hazel is visited by the Black Rabbit of Inlé, the Lapine grim reaper, and she assures him his time has not yet come.
