Tails Of Golden Feather- A rooster who has survived all odds

*I am baaack!*
Chapter 21

"A price? What kind of price?" I whispered.
But the hummingbird was silent.
"What are you going on about?" Lilith asked. "And why are you just standing there all pale?"
"Oh- it's nothing."
I looked at her once, and she knew something was up.
"Just keep going." I siad.
"But, Sage, where are we going?"
"Like I said before, we're looking for anyone who'll take us in and heal our spirits."
That one is not very far away...
I froze.
"Hummingbird!" I blurted.
"What?" Lilith turned.
"Oh, nothing. It's just--" I was about to blurt everything.
Don't you dare say a word about me, or I'll kill you, then you'll have to pay the price...
"It's what?" Lilith narrowed her eyes.
"I want to find a home."
"Then what does that have to do with a hummingbird?"
Watch your words Sage. Pick your words carefully. Any spills about me, I'll kill you...
"Hummingbirds represent good luck."
"Then why'd you blurt it out?"
"I just want good luck now."
She didn't say anything.
Why are you suddenly threatening? I thought.
you know about me now. I can be as threatening as I want.
Footsteps.
I froze.
"Well, what are y'all doing out here?" A female human came with a sweet face. "Y'all look like you've been through a lot!"
I told you she wasn't far. But just because you've found a home doesn't mean I'm not gonna make you pay the price. And I'm gonna make sure you don't forget the price...
What's this price?
You'll see... The hummingbird sneered, then faded from my head, leaving me with a sharp pain.
The human carried us inside, and we ate for the first time in around a month.
I think I'd found a home.
 
Chapter 22

I had been eating and drinking and got myself back up to health. But the hunger never ended. It was the hunger for blood.
I never knew what blood tastes like... I just wanted a little taste...
What was I THINKING???
I had been desiring blood and meat, which isn't normal.
I had to ask Lilith about this.
"Lilith?"
"Yes?" She turned.
"Have you ever had the desire for blood or insects?" I blurted.
"I-I..." She looked at me like I'd grown another head. "No. Do you?"
"I do."
She turned, changing the subject. "When do you think blonde haired is going to bring us outside?"
"Today, hopefully."
Lilith just grunted and turned away from me.
"Is this what you intended, hummingbird?" I whispered. "Placing a curse on me so I would just go ahead and kill myself because I couldn't stand it anymore? Then you'd make me pay the price?"
This is only the easiest and least harmful part of what I've done to you... The hummingbird cackled.
"What's the price?"
If you want to find out, you'd have to die...
