*remember, these are NOT my chickens. I didn't do ANY of this, nor would I EVER. I just made this all up, and there will be a sequel!*
Chapter 5
I opened my eyes as the world blurred around me, and I saw Lilith's satin blue eyes staring at me, calling my name. Her normally beautiful golden face was now tinted with blood.
"Sage!" She cried.
A sharp pain stabbed through my beak. My legs were numb and I was scared. Scared for Lilith. Scared for my life. I could feel my heart pounding, and the blood running down my face. I slowly could feel my life slipping away.
It hurt to move. I couldn't just lie here.
But my legs were weak and I couldn't get up. I could now hear Lilith's sobs. I didn't want her crying like this. I couldn't die, not now. If I did, she would be alone with the human who broke my heart. I thought he loved us, but was I ever wrong. If I left her alone with the human, who knows what she'd have lying in frint of her.
But I had just lost my home. The place where I had lived for most of my life. To fire. Thanks to the human.
"Racdrops..." I managed.
I held on to my life for all I had worth, then remembered my vow to Lilith.
I'll protect her with every last drop of blood in my body...
My vow rang in my ears and I knew I couldn't break it. I couldn't just lay here and die on her.
"Sage..." Lilith managed, her voice shaken up.
"I'll... be okay..." My voice was barely a whisper. I knew I had no strength left. Was I going to die, here, now?
"Lilith..." I whispered.
"I'm here."
"I can't... break... my vow..." I said.
I didn't hear her next words, for the blood pounding in my ears was too deafening.
Then I saw nothing but darkness and felt nothing but pain.
