Lilly's Life:
Chapter 3
I woke up. I was shivering. I looked around to observe my surroundings. I blinked. I was still in the hen house. Mom and Rose were gone. Maybe they wanted me to get some rest? I was still shivering and it was nearly dark. My eyes felt a million tons. I plopped down from the nesting box and headed to the coop. I ate and drank, maybe this would make me stop shivering.
When I was done there was no one in sight. Shouldnt everyone be roosting by now? Or did they just want to stay out a bit more? I was confused. I decided to just go out and look for mom and Rose.
First I looked under the pine tree, then by the shed, then up at the human house. Thats where I found almost half the herd up by the steps connecting to the human house. I spotted Rose out quickly and ran up to her.
Rose! I said, Why is everyone up here?
Roses eyes went big and she started backing away from me, as well as everyone else.
Rose? I asked, Whats wrong? Wheres mom? Why are you backing away from me?
Lils Rose stopped, we dont want to get sick too.
What are you talking about? Im fine! I feel great! All I needed was food and water? Wheres mom? I asked again.
No! Lilly! You dont understand! All of us are up here to get the girls attention because we knew you were sick.
Rose Im not sick . I said. I still wondered where mom was .
All the sudden the door connected to the human house swang open
My, my chickens . The girl said with a grin.
Rose started clucking and went to her leg and scratched it.
Little girl. Whats wrong? the girl asked Rose.
Rose clucked again and looked my way. The girl looked at me and had a scared look on her face. She went over to me and chased after me. I ran obviously, but I started getting tired after the first 10 seconds so I let her take me. Then she ran into the human house with me cradled in her arms.
