Chapter One

A blurry green and black figure was biting at something grey but shiny.
I stood there for a while, just looking. She did not seem to notice me a few feet behind her.
Suddenly, the shiny thing split apart. The green bird was free. In a flash, she flew out of the enclosure.
No!! I thought. I didn't know why.
I looked on as she disappeared into the cloudy sky.
The world was dark, as if waiting for something.
I felt a small body lean against me.
"Polly!" I heard a voice say. Who was this?
"What, mommy?" An innocent voice, the thing leaning on me, replied.
"Are you going to come and eat or lean on your sister all day?"
So I was his sister.
"But mommy, I'm tired!"
I heard someone hopping by and our bedding crinkling.
The weight on me lifted.
Suddenly, I blinked open my eyes for the first time. Everything was so colorful! Colorful but blurry.
I thought of the green bird. Was that a dream?
Looking around, I saw a green bird bobbing her head to a smaller, pinfeathered green bird.
The green bird was my mom! I tried to talk but all I did was squawk quietly.
"Mommy look!" The smaller bird chirped.
The green bird fed him and said, "What?"
"She's opened her eyes!"
The green bird went up to me.
"So she has!"
I squawked again. My eyes had opened before, when I saw this bird in my dream. I had somehow known what she had looked like.
The dream must have meant something, but what?
