Chapter 3
I woke, I was alone. Everyone was out already. Wow, I must really needed my sleep. I flew down and ate and drank. I came out of the coop destined to find Emma. I ran over to Mattie and asked him if Emma was out yet. He looked at me sadly.
"Umm,Han-Hannah. She-I haven't seen her yet."
The trembling started all over again. I went under a tree to get some shade since it was hot and the sun was gleaming. Pepper came over.
"Hey girl! Don't be so glum! It's ruining this great day! It's so pretty out! Come on! Let's go catch some bugs!" She was always the happy girl, she was never sad.
"Alright." I didn't really want to, but I did. We went out by the pond and I saw horse flys, mosiquitos, dragonflys, butterflys, and way more. I saw a dragonfly and I pecked at it and showed Pepper that I caught one before her. It was a big, juicy dragonfly. She was jealous. I laughed! It was the first time I laughed since Emma.... Oh great here comes the tears again. Pepper saw me and she comforted me.
"Hey, Hannah... It'll be alright. Emma is a strong girl."
I couldn't say anything. I would have had that shake in my voice.
The sun was going down and it was getting to be nighttime. Still no Emma. I barely had any hope left. I finally got comfy next to Ethel and Pepper before I heard a huge clucking scream.
