Disclaimer: I don't own the princes, sadly.
*･゜ﾟ･*:. Princess and the Chicken .:*･゜ﾟ･*
Chapter one~
The morning sun peeked through the curtains and shone on the hung over faces of the three friends. The girls night they randomly decided to have last night had turned into a drinking party. Lourica groaned and turned away from the sun. "Go awayy~" She grumbled, stuffing her face into the thing she was using as a pillow.
A hand pushed her away. "You go away." The hoarse voice of Arie said. Lourica raised her head and now noticed she had been using her friends belly to sleep on. She pushed herself off the floor and looked around the room.
Empty bottles were randomly scattered though the room. Anna was curled up in front of the couch, hugging a half empty bottle and her phone. "Hmm, Keith." She mumbled softly as she turned in her sleep. Lourica chuckled. Even in her sleep Anna would still think of the fictional prince.
Arie pushed herself up too. "Great Lourica, now I'm awake thanks to you." Lourica only shrugged as she got up off the floor, ignoring the throbbing pain in her head. "Just help me clean this up." She started picking up the bottles off the floor.
Arie groaned but also got up and started gathering the bottles. The sound of bottles clinking together woke Anna. "Whatreyouguyzdoing?" She mumbled, her speech slurred, as she rolled over, letting the bottle go.
"Get up Anna, there are chickens to feed." Lourica said as she continued to gather the trash. Anna groaned and rolled back to the couch. "No." She grabbed onto the couch and heaved herself up, after which she dropped herself onto the couch. "Those chickens won't die if I don't go feed them right this moment."
Lourica frowned. "Get. Your. Lazy. Ass. Off. That. Couch." She glared daggers at Anna, who sent her a pleading look. "But I'm still tired~" She whined, hugging one of the pillows on the couch. "Hmm, where is my Keith body pillow when I need it."
Arie glanced back and forth between to two of them "You know... I could..." But Lourica broke her off mid-sentence. "No, Anna has to feed the chickens. Get up Anna! How would you feel if you had to spend the night outside and then not get breakfast because the person feeding you has a hangover?"
Anna rolled her eyes but got up off the couch, grumbling to herself. "God fine, stupid chickens, why did we decide to keep chickens, we're fucking students." Both Arie and Lourica ignored her and continued gathering the trash as Anna made her way outside.
As Anna stepped out of the house a fierce wind hit her in the face. "Fucking storm, go away." She said, shaking her fists angrily at the clouds. Of course, the storm ignored her and simply continued on. Anna cursed when a light drizzle started to accompany the wind, it was as if Mother Nature was mocking her.
She fetched the chicken grains out of the shed and walked over to the chicken coop. "Why in the world did I agree on keeping chickens? They're such a pain!" She continued to complain as she reached the coop. "I don't even like chicken that much." She opened the door and instantly was surrounded by a dozen or so chicken.
"Hi guys!" She squealed, looking at the birds with adoration showing on her face, completely forgetting about her rant. "How're you all doing today?" She stared at the chicken, as if expecting an answer. When they didn't answer she sighed and reached into the bag. "Here's food." She mumbled, feeling dejected. Since they first got the chickens, Anna had been trying to get them to talk to her. Which was insane, she knew that, but she liked to try.
For a while she watched the chickens picking away at the seed. The way they ate always made her laugh, she once tried to eat the same way, but that only presented her with strange stares from everyone at school.
She slumped her shoulders and turned around. "Again no answer today." She mumbled as she stepped out of the coop.
"Anna! Anna! Feed me too!" Anna stiffened as she heard a little man's voice call out to her. She shook her head shrugging it off. "I must be hearing things." She mumbled, laughing to herself as she turned around to close the door. Then she stiffened again.
In front of the door stood a chicken, it was slightly larger than the others, and she did not recognize it as one of theirs. But the most horrifying about it all was that it had the head of her favourite fictional prince. "K-Keith?!" She brought out in a shriek.
Keith was… no, the chicken was glaring at her. "I want food too!" It said, in the exact voice she had always imagined Keith's voice to be. She staggered backward, away from the insane hallucination. Maybe something had been in her drink yesterday… or she took some drugs while she was wasted.
She shook her head. No, there were no drugs in their house, she knew that. So… why was there a chicken with Keith's head in front of her, glaring at her, demanding food.
"Damnit woman, give me my food already!" It yelled at her. She flinched, took another step back and tripped over air. She fell backwards and landed on the moist grass with a loud thud. Still in shock she stared up at the large ominous clouds. "It's going to pour soon…" She mumbled, trying to force her thoughts away from the chicken.
"Anna! What the fuck is taking you so long?!" Lourica's voice called out to her, snapping her out of her thoughts. She jumped up, glancing back at the coop once more, but the Keith chicken was gone. She let out a sigh of relief and walked back to the house.
Just when she stepped inside she heard the voice of the chicken again. "YOU BETTER COME BACK WITH SOME GOOD FOOD ANNA!" A shiver ran down her spine and she spun around in the doorway, surprising Lourica who was standing there, waiting for her.
Across the lawn her eyes met with Keith's… no wait… with the chicken's eyes… Her mind was already becoming a blur. She paled and turned around again, grabbing onto Lourica. "I think I've gone insane." She wailed, looking up at her friend is desperation.
Lourica gave her a strange look. "Nothing unusual then is it?" She joked, smirking at Anna. But Anna didn't smile, pure terror was written over her face. "Did you take any drugs or something?" She then asked, taking hold of Anna's hands and taking them off her, since Anna was clutching onto her quite roughly.
Anna shrugged. "Not that I'm aware of, I know I didn't have any drugs and I doubt either of you did." Lourica nodded. "Right, we're not drugs people… Anna, just go sleep off your hangover, you're not any more insane than you were yesterday."
Anna nodded and stumbled towards the living room, hoping her friend's advice would work, because if there truly was a Keith chicken out there, it would mean the gods were trying to mock her. "Hmph, just like mother nature." She huffed as she plopped herself onto the couch.
Lourica stared after her friend in confusion. Anna would always act like this and then laugh it off later, but now she hadn't. Maybe their drinks had been drugged before they bought them. She laughed. "Impossible."
She looked out of the window and noticed Anna hadn't put away the bag of grain. "Great, so she's insane, and lazy too." She grumbled as she opened the door, getting hit in the face by the same wind that had laughed at Anna.
"Fucking lazy bitch." She said, taking long strides as she walked over to the chicken coop, heading straight for the grain bag. As she bent to pick it up a voice startled her. "It's Lourica! Feed me please!" Her eyes grew wide and she spun around, but no one was there.
"Eh… my mind must be playing tricks on me… I was sure I heard something." She mumbled, and returned to picking up the bag. "Louricaa~ over here!" The voice said again. This time she looked up, the voice seemed to come from the chicken coop, had someone been locked in?
Her eyes fell on a slightly larger chicken, one with the head of her favourite butler. Yu. "Whoa!" She said, stumbling back and falling onto her bum. "Okay, there was definitely something in those drinks." She said, staring at the chicken with big eyes.
Yu's face was smiling down at her. "Feed me Lourica." It said, continuing to smile. Lourica just shook her head. "ILLUSION!" She said, jumping up and pointing at the chicken, which seemed to be a little surprised at her sudden outburst. "Hungry~" It said.
Lourica continued to shake her head "Nononono! You are not real!" After yelling those words in the chickens face, she turned around and ran for the house. 'Louricaaa~~~" The chicken wailed in a sad voice, but she ignored it and slammed the door of the house shut.
"Lourica? What are you doing?" Arie walked into the kitchen. "Why are you so pale?" She reached out to her friend, only to be met by a pair of the most terrified eyes her had ever seen. "Uh… maybe you should go lie down, like Anna… Something seems to be wrong with the both of you."
Lourica simply nodded and went into the living room, joining Anna on the couch. "Hey! What gives!" She said when she felt herself getting pushed into the back of the couch. "Shh Anna, just let me stay here." Lourica answered, hiding her face into her friends back.
"Did you, by any chance, go to the chicken coop?" Anna asked in a whisper. Lourica stiffened, but nodded. "Did…Did you see… it?" Again Lourica nodded. "What is it?" She whispered. Anna shook her head. "No fucking idea… but it's terrifying." She answered, and Lourica nodded in agreement. "Yes."
In the kitchen Arie glanced worriedly at her two friends who were now having a silent conversation while trying to stay on the couch together. She then looked out of the window, wondering what it was that was capable of making both of them so frightened. Her eyes fell onto the bag of grain that both Anna and Lourica failed to take back inside.
'"I should bring that in before it starts to rain heavily." She mumbled to herself, stepping out of the house. She ignored the wind and rain and quickly moved over the grass. She smiled at the chicken who were still picking at the grains Anna had thrown in. "At least she was able to feed you before having a nervous breakdown."
She picked up the bag and started walking back towards the house when a voice made her halt. "Arie. I'm hungry." She turned around. "Who's there?" She asked, clutching the bag closer to her. "Give me food Arie." The voice said, shifting her attention towards the chicken coop.
There, on the other side of the netting, stood a big chicken, with the head of Prince Joshua Lieben. He… uh, it was staring at her with an expressionless face. It eyed the bag of grains and paced around impatiently. "Food Arie." It said again.
Arie stood fixed on the spot. So this was why both Anna and Lourica were now lying on the couch, feeling as if they were going insane. "J-Joshua?" She asked, taking a step closer. The chickens eyes flew up to her and it let out a whining noise. "Hungry." It said.
"You… You're Joshua right?" She asked, taking another step closer. The chicken eyed her and slightly narrowed its eyes. "Yes, I am, now give me food." Arie smiled and accepted this illusion happily. She reached into the bag and threw some grain in front of the Joshua chicken. Immediately two other larger chickens stepped out of the shadows.
"Why does your woman give you food and mine only runs away?" A chicken with the head of Prince Keith said in an annoyed voice. "Now now Keith, you completely scared her off with your behaviour." The chicken with Yu's head said.
Arie's eyes grew wide. "T-There's more?!" She shrieked, dropping the bag of grain and clasping her hands in front of her face. The chickens looked up at her in surprise. "Well yes, didn't your friends tell you?" The Yu chicken asked, but Arie was already gone. She ran for the house and locked the door as soon as she closed it.
"WHAT WAS IN THOSE DRINKS?!" She yelled as she sank down against the door. Her voice echoed through the house, startling both her friends who had just started to doze off. They rushed to the kitchen. "You saw it too?!" They said in unison.
Arie both shook and nodded her head. "The Joshua chicken." She said. Lourica and Anna glanced at each other in confusion. "No, it was a Keith chicken." Anna said, at the same time Lourica answered too. "You mean the Yu chicken right?"
They looked at each other again, cringing in horror. "Keith chicken?" Lourica asked, shaking her head in confusion. Anna just stared back and forth between her friends with a desperate look on her face. Arie nodded. "There was a Joshua chicken, but also a Keith chicken and a Yu chicken…"
The three of them exchanged glances. "There definitely was something in those drinks…" Lourica mumbled. Both Anna and Arie nodded in agreement. "Yes, and whatever it was, it's making us see illusions…. But why chickens?!" Anna threw her hands up in the air.
A scratching noise silenced the three of them. It sounded as if something was scratching at the door. Arie immediately backed away from the door and clutched onto both of her friends. They three of them stared at the door in horror. What in the world was happening to them?
