Chapter 2


“Casi!” a voice broke into my dream. I grumbled and rolled over. “Casi!” Granny called again. I pulled the covers over my head and squeezed my eyes shut tight. “CASI!” Granny yelled. I wrapped my pillow around my head, burrowing deeper under the covers. “Don’t make me come up there!” Granny hollered.

I groaned and shoved my fuzzy blanket off. “I’m coming!” I yelled sleepily. I trudged over to my closet and changed out of my PJs into jeans and my favorite “Dr. Pepper” t-shirt. I flopped downstairs, dragging my feet and clomping them down the way I know granny hates. She was standing in front of the stove, hands on her hips, glaring at me. “Mornin’” I said, plopping down in a chair. My plate was already sitting there. I grabbed up my fork and speared a chunk of eggs with it. As I lifted it to my mouth, Granny grabbed my fork. “Hey, I was gonna eat that” I said. “Not until you have said your thanks and gathered the eggs for me.” She replied mater-of-factly. “Do I have to?” I whined. “Yes” she replied stiffly. I shoved my chair back and stalked out of the kitchen.

I peered through the little square of glass at the top of the door. There he sat, practically glowing on that roost of his. He turned his head my way and I ducked quickly from the window. Such an evil chicken he was. I eased open the door and slid inside the coop. Presently, the golden ruler of the roost was preoccupied with a leaf that had floated in the window. I edged towards the nesting boxes. There were three eggs: one brown, one white, and one green. I reached in and grabbed them up, sliding two in one pocket and one in the other. I was half way to the door when Gomer decided that the leaf was dead and spotted me. He froze at first, and then slowly let the yellow feathers around his neck arch up. He jumped down and ran towards me. I scrambled for the door, as he flew up and grabbed my shirt in his claws. The latch was stuck. “Ouch!” I yelped as he grabbed my arm, twisting the skin in his beak. He rammed into my back, scratching at my skin with his spurs. Finally, I kicked the latch and it swung open. I hastily shook Gomer’s hold on my arm off and slammed the door in his face. The skin on my arm was shredded and bleeding and my back was burning. I rubbed my back with my hand and could feel all the welts coming up, the welts I got every morning that Granny sent me out to get the eggs. I muttered a word that was not pretty and walked back to the house. This had been one of his minor attacks. He had bloodied my arms and face once, that shirt still has bloodstains on it. I stopped at the door and sagged the corners of my mouth as deep as possible before walking in.
“Look what your demon bird did to me” I said coldly.
“He isn’t a demon” Granny replied.
“Prove it,” I answered in a snotty voice.
“Don’t take that tone with me young lady” Granny scolded quietly.
I shut up after that. The eggs were cold and taste-less and the bacon was chewy and thick. I swallowed my glass of orange juice and dumped my plate in the sink. “I’m going out” I told Granny. She nodded, not even looking up from the dirty dishwater. I sighed. Being mad at Granny did no good. I turned to say I was sorry. She looked up at me, her face was heavily wrinkled, all of her features sagged. Her eyes were hard. I changed my mind and hurried out the door, slamming the screen door as hard as I could. All the mad flowed out of me into the slam. I wanted to run back inside, give Granny a big hug, and tell her I was sorry. I didn’t do it. Instead, I ran out into the field to my black gelding, Ebb. His name was actually Ebony Mirage, but we just called him Ebb or Ebbs. I wrapped my arms around his neck and burst into tears. “I wish mom were here” I whispered. To be Continued . . .
