Chapter Twenty Six

Well, I can say we got settled at home, but that would be a lie. The humans constantly scare me with the mom yelling at the girl, and the girl crying her head off. My feathers are as sucked in as I could get them to be. After about twenty minutes, I got used to all the chaos, and started preening, though I was still constantly interrupted by something being thrown on the ground near my cage in anger.
Sometimes I think humans have mental problems.
Anyway, the rest of the day went on with a storm above everyone's head, as quiet as it was, though I chirped happily when everyone settled down.
The girl took me out of the cage, and I came willingly.
I hopped onto the windowsill with the screen on, and peered outside. A few house sparrows were hopping around and chirping to each other. I chirped to them. They glanced in my direction, and chirped back.
"Hello!" I chirped once I got their attention
"And hello to you, too," One of them chirped back politely.
"So what is it like to be wild?" I asked them.
"What is it like to belong to a human?" One of the younger ones replied.
"It's great! It just depends on who is owning you," I chirped, reluctant to reveal too many details.
"Whado you mean?" The same one asked.
"Well," I pondered how much I should say, "That girl just made me sick,"
"Oh."
"Don't you get sick?" I was curious.
"Um," One of them said, "Not really."
Then, the human scooped me up.
"Back to your cage, then!" She said cheerily.
"Bye!" I chirped to the sparrows from my cage.
I hopped to my water bowl, and drank some water. Then, I flew to my swing.
"Hello!" I said happily in human.
I was a very happy bird at that time.
Then, I looked in my mirror, and chirped for a few minutes. I liked my wild bird friends.

Chapter Twenty Seven

The next morning, I had just woke up when the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" The older human yelled, not seeming very happy about it.
I heard the door open, and a low voice say in a very serious tone, "Hello."
Everything was silent for a second.
"I'm here to talk to you about your bird."
"O...oh," She did not know what to say.
"You do realize you are a criminal for doing what you did yesterday?"
"Um, well, yes, I do, but,"
"And you thought you would get away with what you did?" He demanded.
"Well..."
"You owe $958.23 right now," He continued," And if it isn't paid for before the sixteenth of this month..."
His voice was so low, it seemed to smooth out into one continuous hum. I began to close my eyes.
I woke up a few minutes later to find that the person had left, and the humans were sobbing.
"I told you you shouldn't have gotten a pet," The older one said.
The younger one didn't reply.
I chirped from my cage, trying to cheer them up.
They didn't respond. I didn't think the older one likes me very much.
I looked out the window. Where were my sparrow friends right now?
I wondered about what they said. Why didn't they get sick as much?
The world suddenly seemed so confusing to a little birdie like me. Plus, I miss Sky. I miss Polly, and Pepper and Chirpy.
Why did it seem like I lost everything I liked or wanted?
My mind drifted. I let it.
How old was I again? About one, I think. Time really does fly.
I thought back to the "pet store". Everything seemed so clear back then compared to right now. Even if I didn't know where I was.
I shook my head. I was too young to think about this kind of stuff. So I just sat on my perch.
I sat on my perch and waited for something to happen.
