Chronicles of a Shadow
Ch 1
"Happy birthday, Chaos"
Shadow woke up and the first thing that went through his mind is what day it was. Its my birthday. He thought. The small Pidgey went to see the rest of his family. His mother was named Feather and his father was Nathan. They were both Pidgeot. He also had three siblings. They were his two sisters, Katie and Sarah, and his brother, Joey. They were all Pidgeotto. He was the only Pidgey and the name given to him by his mother was Chaos as he was ery restless. When he flew down to join his family his mother came and wrapped him in her wings. "Good morning, Chaos . Happy birthday." She said. "Thanks. Shadow said with a smile.
"What are we gonna do today?" He then asked. His dad laughed. "Whatever you want to." He said. "Joey came to him. "Hey squirt. Happy birthday." He said. "Thank you Joey." Shadow said. "Can we eat Magikarp today?" He then added. "Sure. Hey, will you three catch the worthless fish?" His dad asked Joey, Katie, and Sarah. The three nodded and went out to catch the fish. "I've decided I want to learn gust right after we eat today. Like Joey did on his third birthday." Shadow said. "Fine we'll do it after you digest your food. Can't get ahead of yourself, Chaos." His mother said. "I know mom its just I'm so excited about it."
After they ate, Joey, Katie, and Sarah took Shadow to where they had learned gust. "Its really easy. You can do it!" Katie said. Shadow smiled. Katie was the closest to him of all his siblings. They explained how to do it. "Just flap your wings really hard. That's all you have to do. Shadow tried. He got a small one but not the one he wanted. "Its alright squirt." Joey said. "Try again." Shadow tried again and again and eventually after about five hours, he finally got it. It was eight at night so he had to go to sleep.
(Later that night) Shadow awoke to the sound of voices and footsteps coming from the forest. Two humans had long wierd black things with scopes on them. "Which prize you goin for Kyle?" One asked. "I want to get me the biggest on there. How 'bout you?" "I want the family." When I get the prize I'm buyin a new truck." "Cool, cool." Shadow didn't know much about humans so he tried to pretend they weren't there but their voices kept rising in volume. "I see me six of them up there. Stand back. These birdies is mine." He held the long rod thing up and pointed it at Shadow's mother. Shadow then heard a loud noise which blasted in his ear drums. Shadow's mother wailed in pain and blood exploded out of her wing.
Another shot was fired and blood exploded from her chest and Shadow's mother fell from the nest. His father flew down and wept upon her and was shortly shot by the poachers. Shadow wanted to be away so he used his stealth to hide above the tree. More bullets were fired and Shadow heard the wails and screams of his family members. Soon, the firing stopped. "Got 'em all. One human said. Let's go get those nets from outside."
Shadow flew down to see what had happened and his entire family was lying their, completely slaughtered. His sister, Katie, began to rustle. Shadow quickly flew to her. "Katie, come on let's go. Katie why isn't anybody getting up? Why are you bleeding?" Katie's bloody wing touched Shadow's cheek. "H-H-Happy birthday, Chaos. This family loves you. I love you. Go right now, or they'll kill you too" She raised her head up and kissed Shadow on the cheek. Her wing slid down Shadow's now bloody cheek and she died as well. Shadow stared in horror at the scene before him. They don't understand that we're alive too. Shadow thought. We are living creatures too!. Not some prize to be cashed in for. They're monsters. We have feelings too. As much as Shadow wanted to fight the poachers, he quickly turned and flew off into the night sky...
