Chapta two!
I gave a yelp of surprise, and walked backwards. Her attacker was... Angela? "Got you, you stinking misfit bird." she said, giving her a good kick.
She screeched again, and that woke everybody. Gnarly hopped down, and growled "What's all the fuss about?"
"These two chicks were trying to get a quick bite! Before us!" Charlotte hopped down, and angrily said,
"Scruffy, Samantha, you know our pecking order.. I won't stand for this," she said, biting Samantha on the earlobe.
Samantha screeched again. Hey, leave her alone! I said, and instantly regretted it.
Charlotte turned on me, and hissed. What did you say, you little runt? She kicked me in the head, dazing me with her big feet.
Youre friends fine, besides, Charlotte lifted her head, and showed off her almost rooster-like comb. Im the oldest. You need to keep your rank by fighting. Now, get.
I got up, still dazed, and walked out the coop, into the outside portion. I began calling for the boy, and Samantha screeched again, flying out. Probably kicked. I wandered over, and she began to get up. You okay?
Fine, fine, but that Charlotte is getting on my nerves, and not just that, shes kicking me around. She clucked.
Come on, help me call the boy. I said, and began to call his name.
Zach! Zach! Come out and let us out. ZAAAA-AAACH! Samantha helped, and soon I saw him, hopping down the stairs leading to his house. He ran across the yard, and swiftly opened the door. I ran out, sighing with relief. Dragonfly time! shouted Samantha, leaping into the air after one. I let her get the first one, and then leapt after another. Then, I heard her screech again! THE FOURTH TIME TODAY!
Chapter 2 continued.
I looked over, and saw that the boy had picked her up. She was yelping, and attempting to get away. "Help!"
She was really fine. She just doesn't like being picked up. The boy fed her a grape. "Actually, never mind. I like it here!" she said, looking down.
"But, now what do I do?"
I looked up athim and gave a quiet cluck. He looked down and laughed. "You want her down, huh? Okay." he said, and set Samantha down.
" He looked down at me, and flicked a grape towards me. "Mmm, don't mind if I do." I said, eating it.
Samantha walked over, and, finishing my grape, decided to walk over towards the pond, where there were always something about. Sometimes dragonflies, sometimes worms, and even the occasional frog. I reached the pond, with Samantha in tow. we bent down, and began to drink. From behind me, I heard, "Hey, little chicks! Get outta here. This, is our pond." Charlotte.
She swaggered over, knocking me and Samantha aside. "Hey!" I sad, mad now. "We were here first!"
"Soo? I'm the boss, and you're just an ugly young chick with no feathers." She puffed her's out, showing magnificent feathers.
"I think that the boy still likes me more," I said, and got a kick to the head for that.
"Be quiet, the only reason you think that is because you get dragonflies to eat. He likes me more because of my pretty feathers. And my rooster comb." she said, really making me angry now. I pecked her, hard, on her head. She screeched, and kicked me once, twice, three times. I lay there, beaten, and Samantha came to my side. "Now you know why I'm boss." she said, struting away.
Sam nudged me, but I didn't get up. I felt sleepy, and blacked out.
(Wow, I'm really ripping through these chapters, arn't I?)
I woke up, much later. It felt like I had been dragged out of the way. I got up, and saw that I was now by the boys mother's garden. I walked over towards the coop, and found I was locked out! Everyone must be inside. I looked up, and saw that the sky was dark. I was outside for too long! "Samantha!" I said, an heard nothing.
"Sa-man-tha!" i said, a lttle louder that time.
"Mmm, hrrm, what?" I heard, and sighed in relief.
It was Samantha! "Samantha! I'm so glad it's you! Listen, I'm trapped outside, and I can't get in! Whaddo I do?" I asked, panicing.
"Get in a tree! That's the only substitute for a nice, warm coop." she said, and I heard a low bark.
Fox! I looked around wildly, and saw nothing. But I heard growling I legged it to the nearist tree. I heard barking, and looked behind me. It was right behind!!! I screamed, and launched myself at a tree. Would I make it? I flapped what little wing I still had. Please, please please, don't let me fall! I yelled in my head. The branch began to drift higher. I wasn't going to land n it!
Chapter 3 part two.
I missed the high branch, and hit a lower one. The fox leapt at me, taking off some tail feathers. "YAAH!!!" I screamed, hopping higher.
The fox attacked again. It was slower. By then Iwas sixteen feet in the air. The fox attempted to climb after me, but I hopped higher. "Curse having little feathers!" I said, looking at my lefty wing. It barely had any on it. But at least I wouldn't get atacked by the fox. I loked down, and saw him pacing aroud the btom, trying to find a way after me. I calmed down, and said, "Hah ha, fox, you can't get me!" I had calmed down, and so I hopped lower.
The branch I hopped onto broke! "Ahhhh!" I screamed, flapping."I can't go like this!"
I flew onto a really low branch, and the fox lept up after me! "Ahhhh!" I screamed.
A strong breeze blew, and I heard a snapping sound. I looked up. A dead brach above me broke off, and began to fall. At that moment the fox leapt at me, snapping. I screeched, leaping, and the dead branch came down on the fox's head. I looked back, and saw no fox. I looked down, and saw that the fox was dead. I sighed in relief, and hopped higher. I would have to wait till morning. I looked for a sturdy branch, found one, and fell asleep.
