Dinner is served??? Uh No!

So where was I right! "Aaah I'm going to die help." *eye roll* For real I get kidnapped between chapters. At least you don't have to read about the flight for 6hrs. *Yawn* So after screaming for help while the rooster flew off towards the grey mountain scenery, I realize oh it has my bag. *Cue* dramatic entry into the nest

*oof*

"Ouch watch it, oh shoot."

*Peck*

I slide under its throat dodging his attack. My hand pulls at my bag.

I mean I do need food

*blank stare*

"Really, you couldn't let go"

I consistently tug at the bag trying to free it from Tweeters.

"Woah" the bag is pulled from me.

"Hey, thats mi.." I jolt side to side dodging its attacks.

*peck peck peck*

"Can you"

*peck*

"Give me"

*peck*

"My"

*peck peck*

"CANINOTEVENTALK"

*peck*

I change tactics and shoot towards Tweeters. I clumsily hit his stomach forcing him back. I drop to the ground.

"Oh my head" as I shake off the dizziness

*screech*

My eyes widen; I launch forward with my legs convulsing. I clear the distance, and grab my bag as Tweeters pecks down. I try to move, but instead, I tumble out of the nest falling down the slope of the Mountain.

Okay this scene could be a little less dramatic please. I am more graceful then this.

I gracefully roll into brushes decorating my hair with flowers and leaves.

"Oh my back"

*Screech*

My eyes dart open looking for my new fond friend.

"Oh thank you Goddess Nuclea" I say with sigh of relief. I can see the large red comb of a rooster flying high over head.

I decide to rest waiting out the assailant's search.

<Dream World>

"Mom! Dad!"

"Lī where have you been. School called and you weren't there."

"Dad I went to watch the warriors coarse for military training."

"FOR WHAT! You know you can't compete with them. You and I are normal people. You would die trying to go into the military! That coarse is off limits to you."

"But Dad?"

"No Buts, go to your room."

Rushing forward I slam the door hard

*bang*

*pop*

"What, where am I? Oh."

*Growl*

My head darts back and forth, "What was that?"

*Growl*

"Oh, haha Im hungry"

I Grab my shiny orange bag and start to look for edible food.

"Yuck peas. Broccoli oh Goddess no. Oh Yum Carrots"

I pull out a large 3ft purple carrot that smells like molasses and berries.

*crunch*

It has such a sweet earthy fruity flavor. They are always the best. I could just eat these all day

*thought bubble*

"If all you eat is carrots you're going to turn purple"

I walk around with a bright violet color.

I shutter at the thought. I was full anyways dad.

I put the other half of the carrot away for later.

I trudge through the woods hoping to get home

Ummm Girl you're going the wrong way *face slap*

"Oh a stick! On guard, you scurvy scoundrel."

I thrust the stick forward. "Wacha. Wakaa. Skadosh. Hahaha, what was dad scared of out here? It's so fun. My imagination can run wild out here uncumbersome by work. This is amazing."

Look behind you Lighting! It's going to eat you. Can she not notice the Iguana stalking her. This is hopeless well if its my time its my time.

I toss the stick behind me. "I'm hungry. I wonder how far Tweeter flew from the community." I pull my bag around so I can eat while walking. "Awww, Dad does care; he packed me Cacao bean."

I pull out the smaller one the size of my forearm.

He always puts a slit at the bottom so I can open it tehe. I crack it open

*snap*

*crack*

"Yum! oof?"

Small claws dig into my skin. The force pushes me down as my arm flys up. The fruit is thrown to the ground. The Cacao stays connected as it thumps the ground. I land hitting my ribs against the ground. The 8 foot leaves cushion my fall. The creature jumps off.

"Hey, watch it. Huh, thats my cacao! Get back here!" My hand strikes the ground forcing me up to my feet. The Iguana grabs the connected portion of the bean and darts off. I place the bag back on my back and take off. My legs start to tingle as I chase the Camo

It jumps on the large brown trunk so that it can quickly turn.

I'm forced to slide in order to change direction. It continues to weave through the tree line. The Iguana seems to slow down as I continue to gain ground.

I finally with in reach and tackle at it. I hit the ground sliding down into mud. I jump up looking around but Camo disappeared.

It's behind the tree!

"I give up" I walk over to a dry area next to the large puddle. I try to clean my face off.

"Oh god my hair," I start to take out the twigs stuck in it. "Uhh!" I see my eyes flicker in the water. The color is a striking white hue but shortly turns back to a lushest dark brown color. "Weird!"

*growl*

"I'm so hungry!"

I snack on some more carrots while I start a fire. I gather some dry brush and stick. I take out my rock collection and use the shiny grey one to beat against the dull black one. I gather some random stones to place around it.

"I know dad only I can prevent forest fires."

I pull out my stone plate and put it on top of the stone pit. I shiver as I grab peas out of the bag. I take a spoon and push the eyes out so I don't have to look at them.

"Gross! They're not peas; they're not peas; they're not peas."

Mom used to tell me that if I say something three time it comes true. I know it's not true now, but it still calms me down.

"Dinner isss gross."

By the time I finish eating, it's already dark. I give up on walking and decide to take a nap under the bushes. I pull some of the Leaves together to make bedding, and I lay my head on my bag. "night mom, night dad," I whisper.
