Lilly's Life:
Chapter 25
Are you sure its west? Jaz asked me.
I nodded my head, Just an instinct.
Alright well lets go!
Then we set off west, deeper into the woods. I kept stepping on prickly plants and it hurts! I have never seen this part of the woods! Maybe the world is bigger than I thought
.
Me and Jaz kept searching everywhere for the raccoon, but no luck. It was getting towards the afternoon now.
Jaz stopped me while I was walking and nearly tripped, What! I asked annoyed.
Shhh! He whispered.
I looked around for the coon, ready for whatever ninja moves it puts on me!
I hear something straight ahead.
I squinted to try to see what was straight ahead. Then my eyes got wide. The raccoon! Its the coon! I half-whispered.
Shhh! Jaz said again and I rolled my eyes. We must think of a plan.
You mean you didnt think of one before we left!?
I didnt think that wed
. He trailed off, I already knew what he was going to say. I cant believe he had doubt. Just lemme think and keep your eyes on him
. He went into thought. Several moments later he spoke, Got it! Ok so just follow my lead.
I nodded to him and he crept around the raccoon so his back was to us. I didnt see Lacy anywhere
. Then all the sudden Jaz jumped on his back and dug his spurs into him. Since he said to follow his lead, I jumped on his back too and bit him with my beak. The coon yelped and jumped forward. I heard a scream, I wasnt sure if it was mine or not. Then I saw a black and white tail. Lacy!
Get her out of here! Run! Jaz shouted to me while fighting off the coon.
But Jaz! I dont want to leave you here!
I can fight him off! Jus-just go!
But-
GO! He yelled. Then I took Lacy and we ran east as fast as we could. We were practically flying.
Come on Lacy! I told her when I saw her slowing down. Whats wrong!? We have to go! Come on! I practically shouted at her.
He-he scratched me when Jaz attacked him. And it hurts. She stopped running, then I did.
You can do it Lace! Wheres that brave girl that I know and love?
She was panting, I-I dont know. Go on without me.
I cant believe she just said that! NEVER, will I ever leave you, Lacy! I tried picking her up. She was a light, so I put her on my back and started walking east. Dont worry Lace, the healer at the coop will help you.
Whos the healer? Lacy asked me.
I-Im not sure what the humans name is, but shell help you. Shes a really good person. I assured her.
Lacy didnt respond but I didnt care.
Just a couple more minutes and Im sure well be at the coop!
Yay. I could tell she was sleepy
or
?
Come on, Lace, perk up! I moved threw more bushes and we were finally at the coop. I set Lacy down and she was limp. Lacy? I poked her, she went pale. Lacy? Wake up, were here! She didnt move.
