Chapter 5: The Creature Returns
Late fall 2006
Man- Chick
After a long day of free ranging, we were ready to go back into the coop to roost.
Lets go to the coop, guys. Im tired, Carly said.
Okay, we all replied.
We went into the shelter in the coop and got settled. We were all on edge. It had been about a month since the incident, but no one had forgotten.
****4 hours later****
A loud squawk jolts me awake.
Oh no, I think. Its the Jenna and Bess incident all over again. Who will be taken next?'
I run out. I have to save them.
I see the creature holding my precious Charlotte. I would die for Char.
I run at the creature. My plan is to scare it off with my large, flashy crest.
It drops Char. Thank goodness, I think. But then it reaches for me.
In seconds I am clamped in its sharp jaws. In the corner of my eye I see Char, Carly, and Fat- Guy huddled in the corner. I guess no one cares about me.
The creature rips my head off, just like he did to Jenna and Bess.
I die thinking that no one cares about me.
