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.
New chapter... Chapter 6: Inside Again Winter 2006 Carly
The humans have us in a carrier again. I dont know where they are taking us, but hopefully its somewhere warm. Last night it got really cold and strange fluffy cold stuff started falling from the sky. I heard the humans call it snow. What a weird word. They dump us into a pen with 4 solid walls and a straw floor.
There you go, chickies, one of the smaller humans says.
The humans leave and close the door and we begin to get settled.
Char found the feed dish and called everyone over. Hey, look! Food!
We eat until the food dish is empty.
What was that stuff? Fat- Guy asks.
I dont know, but it tasted good! I reply.
I think its called corn, Char says helpfully.
We settle down to sleep. We can see through the tiny window that it is getting dark.
I know that I will sleep soundly in here, because the predators cant get in.
