Lilly's Life:

Chapter 12


I stood up. I heard a rustling in the bushes. I looked around while my eyes were still wet.
“Hello?” I asked nothing in particular.
I heard it again.
“Hello?” I asked again.
Then I saw something pop out and tackle me down.
“Shhhh!” I couldn’t see who it was over my blurred eyes. “Stay down and be quiet!” I blinked. It was Jaz!
“What’s wrong?” I whispered to him. “Did you find Rose?”
It took him a while to answer, “No. I’m sorry. I saw a… monster in the woods instead.”
“What… monster?” I was curious.
“Don’t freak out. Ok?”
I promised him.
“A bear.” My eyes went huge. Oh no. ROSE! Tears started to stream down my eyes.
“Jaz….” I couldn’t breathe.
“Come here… I got you. Get on my back and we’ll walk home.” I did as he told me and hopped on his back.
When we arrived I saw mom rushing towards us. She had tears in her eyes.
“Lilly! Jaz!” she started, “did you find Rose?”
Jaz got me off his back and I rushed under my mom’s wing then he dropped his head and said, “No, instead I saw a bear. But I shall continue to look for her tomorrow. Wherever she is, she is roosting now. Just believe she is safe. Ok Hannah?”
My mom bursted into more tears. Dad came up by her side and led us inside the hen house to roost for the night. All three of us sat in silence except mom’s sobbing. Me and dad both comforted her and put our wings around her.
Dad spoke, “Hannah, it’ll be alright. We’ll find her. I promise.”
They hugged. I think they’re back together! I hope… it’s practically my own hope now.
I was getting tired. I could barely keep my eyes ajar. I decided to just have a good night sleep and escape this world for a while.

Where am I? I thought, What am I doing here? I think I’m in the woods. I’m by my favorite willow tree. But my willow tree is out in the woods. How did I end up here?
“Lilly…. I heard a faint voice say to me. That voice was scary! Then I heard laughter, “Haha, Lilly try and find me!”
I heard feet running over leaves.
“Silly girl.” The voice spoke again. I was beginning to get scared.
“Who are you!?” I nearly screamed.
“Silly girl… try and find me!”
“I don’t know who you are!” I shouted.
“You know exactly who I am, Lilly! Why couldn’t you just find me yourself instead of that big scaredy cat!?”
“WHO ARE YOU!?” I screamed at the top of my lungs.

I woke up in a sweat. I could still hear that faint laughter. That was a weird dream. I almost woke up my mom when I shifted.
I don’t get it? Who was in my dream. That voice sounded a bit familiar but I couldn’t quite get it.
 
Lilly's Life:

Chapter 13


It was morning now. I couldn’t sleep after that horrible nightmare. I was really sleepy. When my mom woke up she noticed right away.
“Hun, go back to sleep. You look tired.”
“I jusss mighhht,” I mumbled. I could barely speak, that’s how tired I was.
My eyes fluttered closed.

I awoke. I was in the hen house and nobody else was with me. I felt better now. I hopped down off my roost and ate and drank. Then I headed out to find my mom. She was under the pine tree with my dad. I smiled to myself. Now I’m positive they’re together. I decided to just leave them alone.
Now I want to look for Jaz. I looked in the weeds next to the coop but he wasn’t there. I decided to just ask one of his hens.
“Hey…” I tapped someone with my wing.
She turned around, “Can I help you?” she asked me.
“Uh, yes. First what’s your name? You are very beautiful!”
“Awww, why thank you. You are as well a beautiful girl yourself. My name is Charlotte. I’m a light brahma!”
“I like that name!”
“Thanks! What’s yours?”
“Mine? I’m Lilly!” I exclaimed.
“Well Lilly, dear. What may I help you with?”
“Where’s Jaz?” I asked Charlotte.
“Oh, Jaz is off finding something. What was it? Started with an R.”
“My sister… Rose?” I asked.
“I think. Yeah! That’s it. What happened with your sister?”
“I don’t really know…. She just ran off or something. I really hope he finds her.” I said.
“Oh, I’m very sorry! I do hope he finds her too!”
I liked Charlotte. She is a very nice hen! She is about two years old too!
“Thank you, Charlotte.” I smiled at her.
She nodded her head and we went our separate ways. I decided to look back at the pine tree to see if they were done talking and they weren’t. I rolled my eyes and went somewhere else to just think. I went to the dust baths. I sat down.
That willow tree in my dream…. I remember going there before when me, mom, and Rose were all heading to the coop. Me and Rose were about 4 days old? When we found it we said it’d be our tree and that someday we’d find it again and have our own chicklets together.
I wonder if Rose is there. Maybe she ran away to make her own babies? No, impossible. She hasn’t even started laying eggs yet. Maybe she went there to keep our promise and visit it. But she wouldn’t go without me.
Was Rose that creepy voice in my dream? Was she really beckoning for help? That’s why it sounded so familiar! It was her! But then why was she teasing me? Was my mind trying to make it a riddle to find her?
This all didn’t make sense. Maybe I should just go to that willow tree and find her myself.
