Lilly's Life:
Chapter 21
What do you mean no? I asked her a bit nervous.
I. Did. Not. See. Your. Mom. She said like I was dumb.
Oh no! I rushed out of the hen house and looked around. The gate was still opened but the girl was coming down to close it. Everyone was in the coop, still chatting.
Jaz! I rushed up to him in the dark, Wheres my mom!?
He turned to me, Last I saw was with Matt.
Dad? I looked up to the branches.
It took him a while to answer, Yes Lilly? Shouldnt you be in bed? He sounded tired.
Wheres mom?
Shhh Lil. She is asleep next to Pepper and Ethel. She needed her friends comfort. Please dont bug her. I sighed in relief.
Is everything alright Lilly? He asked me.
Uh-yes-yes. Everything is fine. Good night dad!
Night Lil. Love you.
Love you too. I said back to him then I entered the hen house, which most of the hens were already packed in here. Hopefully Jaz told the hens to let us be in here and to leave us alone for the night.
I hopped up to the post Lacy was at.
Find her? Lacy asked me.
Yes. Turns out shes sleeping by Ethel and Pepper.
Oh, well thats good. Lacy smiled. Sorry if I scared you.
Thats alright. Lacy hugged me and I smiled at her then we went peacefully to sleep.
Where was I? Wait. I looked around. I was deep in the weeds next to the coop. No one was around.
Hello? I called out. I couldnt find my way out. I was too deep in these weeds.
I heard a shuffling right to me.
Hello? I called out again but more in a whisper.
Then I heard a growling noise.
I backed away from the noise. I was frightened. This has to be a dream. But why does it feel so real? Why am I having so many weird dreams?
The growling increased. Then I ran. I ran as fast as my legs could manage. I ran to apparently nothing besides weeds and trees and bushes. I heard something come after me. I looked behind me and I screamed at the top of my lungs.
I awoke with screaming still spilling out my mouth.
Oh my gosh! Shut up! I heard one of the hens say. That was a mean word to say.
I-Im sorry. I d-didnt mean to. Sorry. I manage to say.
Whatever. Then she went back to bed.
Now Lacy was speaking, Lils? Whats the matter? She asked in a whisper.
Then I realized something. That raccoon is coming back.
