Thanks guys!
Chapter 15
Its been two weeks since I talked to Jasper about his past. It seems like it was just yesterday, because life has been boring lately. I hope something interesting happens.
I wake up this morning only to find that Daisy wasnt sitting beside me anymore! Where could she be now? I hope shes not getting into trouble again.
I see Onyx, Lilly and Prim and high-tail it over there to ask them what happened to Daisy. They are chatting by the feeder with worried looks on their faces. Oh, no. This cant be good at all. Daisy is known to be a trouble maker, but what did she get into now?
Hey guys, wheres Daisy? I ask worriedly.
Its horrible Cloudy! The humans took her away after she started complaining about her feet hurting! I looked and they were all swollen and ugly. They just took her away! Prim gasped.
What? Her feet? I ask, astounded.
Yeah, her feet. She started limping and had a hard time getting off the perch. I mean, her foot is almost twice its real size! Lilly explained.
Oh, well will she be ok? I ask, wide-eyed.
We dont know. We really dont, Prim said. She was staring to cry.
Prim, its going to be fine. Ive heard of this before, Jasper startled us all as he approached us.
What? we say in unison.
Yeah, its called bumble foot. Shes going to be fine. About a year ago, Flower had it herself. And shes fine now, Jasper comforted us.
Really? Onyx asks.
Really. She should be back in about an hour, Jasper said.
Thats a relief! I yelled.
Yeah. Like I said, shell be ok, Jasper finished. He walked back over to the spot across the field where he was standing before, scratching for food.
Im glad Daisy will be ok, Prim sighs.
We all shake our heads. I lead the way and we find a nice spot to look for insects together and wait for Daisy to come back. I hope shed be back soon. Even though I knew shed probably be fine, I was still worried.
I trust Jasper, yes, but Im just not sure. It sounds serious, as Daisy is a tough chick. She would put up with it if it wasnt serious. Daisy would just blow it off and continue with whatever she was doing, not complain about the pain. Boy, I hope she's going to be fine.
It's been a rough month! First Onyx hurts his leg, then Daisy apparrently falls in a hole. After that, it storms and I almost get myself killed. Now, Daisy could be in trouble. I'm scared.
From now on, I'm going to get everyone to be very careful and on their toes. I just can't take having anything else happen to one of us. I might be next in line for an injury, or even death! I'm staring to worry myself sick.
"Guys, I'm going to go sit down. I don't feel well," I tell my friends.
" Do you want me to come with you?" Onyx offers.
"Thanks, but I'll be fine, really," I try to convince him.
"If you're sure," he says, shaking his head.
"I'm sure," I say, turning and walking to the coop. I find a comfy roost and fall alseep.
I wish I hadn't. I had the worst nightmare ever. I was in a human house, under a blanket, so I couldn't see a thing. I felt a sharp stabbing on my foot and I wriggled around, trying to get away. I couldn't make any noise, or move now, but it was even worse because the towl fell off and I could see everything.
Daisy was laying deaqd behind me and I knew I was next. My voice didn't work either and I had to suffer through the human stabbing my feet. There was nothing I could do, and I could not cry. It was the worst thing ever!
