This has been stuck in my head for so long so please tell me what you think
Deep in the forest the wild animals were grazing happily, deer stood in small groups trimming the grass that grew long, absent of humans to cut it down. Small rabbit holes were scattered babies peeking out the holes trying to build the confidence to leave the safety of their homes.
The small herd of deer's heads popped up, eyes flicking from side to side looking for the cause of the disturbance in the air.
A flash of pure white light startled the animals the rabbits hid as the deer scattered. The light dimmed as a lightning strike shaped crack spread through the air. The earth seemed to shake as the crack ran through the thin air shattering the dimmed but still blinding light that made the surrounding disappear.
The crack split revealing grass plains creatures small and large were running on the green landscape all different shapes and species but acting like family. One family of creatures lay separate from the joyful creatures cuddled around a yellow egg with a brown stripe running through half of it.
Blue lightning streaks shot from out of the cracks view striking the grassy land on the other side. The blue strips of light bounced off the ground bending backwards before shooting back forwards. Continuing the jumps before striking the egg laid against its mothers chest. Wrapping the egg in a blue coating it dragged it back to behind the crack waking the mother who chased after her egg.
Unable to recapture her child she had to remove it from the blue lights trap, using her tail she slapped the egg from it, intending to grab the egg as it flew, but the yellow egg was catapulted from her and the blue lightning's reach chucking it through the crack which had been repairing itself closing off slowly.
A cry of dismay came from the mother as she jumped to get through the crack as it sealed itself off. The light that had been lingering in the forest vanishing with it leaving the air to vibrate.
As the air in the forest stilled the animals returned to inspect the new arrival which had landed in a patch left untrimmed.
The small egg shook slightly before settling. A small nose nudged the egg looking it over, the yellow egg rocked slightly startling the deer which had been checking it out making it jump back running off. With the loss of the deer the other animals were weary of the egg keeping their distance.
After many minutes of weary behaviour the animals ran as the egg shook again, a small knocking sound coming from the inside.
A young brunette was walking through the forest on her way home from school; her bag was hanging loosely over her shoulder as she hummed to herself.
She loved to walk through the forest on her way home sure it was a longer route but she could watch all the wildlife as they grazed. Today however no animals were around, the usually lively forest seemed bare.
As she walked she was looking behind every tree she could, looking for any life. This wasn't right and something about what was going on seemed wrong, like something horrible was about to happen.
She turned to walk down another path one she didn't take much but this time she was desperate to find the animals which inhabited the forest and didn't care how long it would take; the feeling of dread in her stomach wouldn't lessen unless she found them.
As she was about to take another turn a deer ran past her almost sweeping her off her feet. It seemed terrified; something was down there and whatever it was, was affecting the animals.
After what seemed like an hour of walking she made it to a clearing where some of the animals would sleep. Today instead of animals grazing or sunbathing in the afternoon sun the place was barren. Nothing seemed to be there.
"Well this was a waste of time" she huffed, about to turn and leave she gave the clearing a once over in case she missed anything. The sun's rays glistened off of something in a patch of grass longer than the rest. Curiosity getting the better of her she walked over to the object looking down at it she was shocked to see that a bright yellow egg lay in the patch of grass.
The egg was huge compared to the other eggs she knew of, never had she seen one like this before with such an unusual pattern on it.
Fearing that whatever was in the forest would damage the egg she lifted it balancing it on her for arms. It seemed like it belonged to a rare animal which meant it needed help.
"I hope the mummy doesn't come back and attack me for touching this" she mumbled to herself and the egg. Biting her lip as she thought what to do, she remembered her bag was just about empty having left her stuff at school as an excuse not to do her homework over the weekend.
Moving the egg so it was tucked under her arm she unzipped her bag moving aside the sparse items in the bottom. Trying to gently place the egg in she pulled the sides of her bag together but they wouldn't stretched far enough for her to zip it up fully.
Settling for half way she started to make her way back home not noticing that the egg in her bag glowed softly before dimming so not to startle the girl.
