Entry 27 – November 1, 2012
I woke up this morning with only one thing on my mind. It was on my mind all throughout the night. I was thinking of the creature. I was thinking how I finally was able to see what it looks like. Another thing on my mind was the visit we planned for today. I was really excited. The great thing was that I didn't have to wait till night. I went out in the afternoon. I climbed up my tree-house as I would for our regular night meets. I waited for the creature. I have to say: It did take the creature much longer to arrive. I'm not sure if we even set a time. I wasn't too disappointed or anything. The creature landed in a tree behind the tree-house. I climbed down to see the creature. The creature seemed to be hiding in the tree, most likely playfully. "Where are you?" I asked the creature. The creature happily sounded off. I walked closer to the tree to look up it. By the time I figured out the creature had left the tree, I heard a plop behind me. "Are you always going to jump behind me like that?" I asked the creature, as I turned around. I saw the creature with its ears up, this time, more visible. It looked like it was excited to see me. The creature slid its tail side to side across the ground. I wasn't as nervous around the creature this time, but I was still nervous. The creature tried to walk close to me again. I also backed away again. "I'm sorry, I'm just..." I sadly said to the creature with my head down. Strangely enough, the creature seemed to be okay with it. Was this its way of saying "it's okay."? That's what I was guessing at the time. "We should head out away from here." I said. The creature nodded and jumped into an autumn tree. I didn't plan where I was going to stop walking. I just continued on until I got to power lines. The creature had to come back down to earth because of this tree less place. It walked beside me. I sorta inched away from it as we walked. There was an audible buzz. Those power lines were active. "You gotta be careful around those." I said, looking up at the lines. The creature nodded in agreement. I looked at the creature and asked "What? Have you run into the lines before?" The creature shook its head. "Okay, that's good." I said, looking back up at the wires. I then looked around. I thought this would be a good place to meet during the day. I went ahead and asked the creature if it was okay with meeting there on a regular basis. I was surprised that it didn't hesitate to nod "yes.". It was a good surprise. I checked my watch. It was about time for me to go back home to help make dinner. I told the creature I had to go home. The creature lowered its head sadly. I then said I would see it tonight. It instantly raised its head and looked at me. I guess it forgot that we were still meeting tonight. We parted our ways there. I saw it fly over the hill. The one where I got caught approaching the creature. I didn't stay to watch, I had to be somewhere. The rest of the night went as normal. I went back outside when it had gotten dark. The creature was on time this time. With that meaning it wasn't as late as it was today. I just stayed in the tree-house. The creature stayed up in a nearby tree (this time, one that I could see it in). I asked the creature about if it was okay with visiting during the day again tomorrow. It really liked that idea. The creature sounded glad at my suggestion. I think the day meet was a good change. Being able to see the creature is still a novelty to me. That is probably why I was still nervous to be close to it. I guess that will change over time.
